One of the major changes that made to the Audi SQ5 to get it ready for the US market was a ride height that was lifted by 1.2 inches compared to its European counterparts. The small increase allowed the SQ5 to retain its "light truck" classification of the Q5 for emissions regulations. In a similar move, Car and Driver is reporting that the Audi Q3 crossover will also be joining the Audi lineup in the US once it receives a facelift and taller ride height.
Expect this facelift to fit in with other recent product updates including the Q5, which mainly focused on a cleaner, more upscale front end and the company's signature LED running lights. The report says that Audi could bring the Q3 Stateside "within a year or two," and it also says that a souped-up RS Q3 will follow close behind. This performance version of the compact crossover gets its power from a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five-cylinder engine shared with the Audi TT RS.

Robin Clasen, 24, graduated college in Decemberwith a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education and sports administration. Her goal was to be a middle school physical education teacher.
Now her goal and her reality are two different things.
"I never imagined that my dad would be gone."
Robin grew up in Eureka, along with her four brothers and sisters. Her father, Richard Clasen, published the Eureka Herald. But in December, the same month she graduated, her father suffered a massive stroke and died.
"Its hard to explain, you don't expect it at all. So the first thing that came to my mind was the paper will not stop."
"All five of us kids had agreed on that and we all planned coming back. I was the only one who didn't have a set job. I was planning on studying in the spring. It wasn t a problem. I am just taking a little detour."
That little detour was to the Editor's chair of the Eureka Herald. The same chair her father used just days earlier. "It's very hard to imagine taking over his job. I mean it's still surreal - I still expect him to walk into the door."
"The Herald will keep going. As long as the Clasen family owns the Greenwood County Publishing Company, the paper will keep going."

We're nearing Vinny Testaverde time again _ for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, Bollinger is clearly unable to lead the Jets' offense to points and wins. The Jets need no more evaluation time to know where he fits in their future plans.
And secondly, with this season already long lost, why not let Testaverde leave his career starting the last couple of games instead of wallowing on the bench behind a third-string quarterback?
He wants to play and yesterday made a public plea on his weekly WFAN radio spot. Id love to be in there playing, said Testaverde. Hopefully Herm (Edwards) is listening, he went on.
That would give beleaguered Jets fans a chance to cheer again and have some semblance of fun for these last handful of games.
For Bollinger, the numbers are simply too damning in five starts. He's winless in his five starts this season. He's led the Jets on 44 offensive possessions during those five starts and produced one touchdown and seven field goals. That's 28 points in five games, an average of less than six points per game.
During those 44 possessions, 23 have ended in Ben Graham punts and seven have ended in turnovers _ five interceptions and two fumbles.
Sure the Jets are challenged on the offensive line, where only one starter remains in his starting spot from opening day and two starters are on injured reserve.
Sure Curtis Martin has been battling through a sprained right knee since the second game of the season.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
At some point, though, you have to analyze the body of work and realize that Bollinger is what he is _ probably nothing more than a third-string caliber quarterback, decent insurance for a team to have as a No. 3 because of the experience he's gained this year, but perhaps not trustworthy as a No. 2.
Sources inside Weeb Ewbank Hall all along have viewed Bollinger as a No. 3, though his performance against the Saints two weeks ago, seemed to elevate some feelings about Bollinger outside of the organization.
The Jets have scored one touchdown in a month, spanning four games. That's difficult to do. Their wide receivers have produced only three touchdown catches all season.
Where do the Jets, 2-10 entering Sunday's game against the 4-8 Raiders, go from here?
There aren't a lot of choices, but here's the way it should be:
The Jets are going to start Bollinger Sunday against the Raiders, and that's fine. It's perhaps their best chance the rest of the season to get a win and Bollinger deserves to be a part of a win. So start him Sunday and let him try to get off the schneid.
If Bollinger is unable to lead the Jets to victory against the disfunctional Raiders, who look like they might be benching their starter Kerry Collins (more on him in a moment), then let him keep playing.
If Bollinger and the Jets are unable to beat the Raiders and this offensive malaise continues, then the Jets should put Testaverde in for the last three games and let him finish his terrific career out with dignity.
This is, in no way to say that Testaverde has been any better than Bollinger. He's yet to throw a TD pass in his playing time this season and has turned the ball over a staggering 12 times _ six interceptions and six fumbles.
But, outside of getting Jay Fiedler in against his former Dolphins team in Miami in two weeks, which doesn't at all look like it's going to happen, where is the fun left to this season?
Put Testaverde in, at least in the home games, and give the fans something to cheer for.
We already know about Bollinger. Five starts provide a pretty good evaluation period. He has no chance of being the team's No. 2 quarterback next season.
Depending on how things fall with a veteran the Jets bring in to compete for the starting job, a rookie for the future they might draft, current backup Fiedler and Chad Pennington, there probably won't even be room for Bollinger on the roster next year.
Hopefully, Bollinger has shown enough potential on game films for another team to give him another chance. He's a good story, a class kid and good enough to be someone's emergency quarterback.
Speaking of Pennington, how do you think he's been feeling over these last couple of months with the rampant speculation about his cloudy future.
A highly-placed Jets' source said the organization is looking at him as 50-50 to return to form. Most others have completely discounted him.
So far, Pennington has been mum since the dust settled following his injury and subsequent surgery, but according to someone closer to him and familiar with his thinking, Pennington plans to speak to reporters about his future in the next couple of weeks.
Another player who'll emerge with a press conference before the end of the season will be receiver Wayne Chrebet, who'll announce his retirement.

Street Food Wedding!
Hey Chowhounds,
I'm planning a ghetto (fabulous) wedding - and I'm looking for ideas.
I've hired KOGI to come and make tacos for dinner - but what can I have out in a buffet that kind of keeps with a LA Street Food theme? I think that bacon wrapped hot dogs may be a bit TOO street...
Any ideas for munchies? Any ideas for drinks?
Thanks so much!
sounds fun and yummy. for drinks perhaps jugs of aguas frescas, they are cheap and easy to make yourself. you could have bottles of alcohol on the side if people want to add that in if you're looking for alcoholic drinks as well. you could have fun with it and have little umbrellas and garnishes.
for munchies if this is an daytime ourdoor wedding, cups of cut up fruit mexican style with cucumber, jimaca, lime wedges, and spicy salt, with toothpicks. perfect refreshing snack for people to eat while standing. oh maybe small fruit kabobs with a lime and salting area.
chips and salsa, guacamole. since you're doing korean bbq maybe small egg rolls, wontons or taquitos, little spicy sausage or slices with picks.
KOGI does taro and lotus chips http://kogibbq.com/wp-content/uploads...
maybe you can find your own.
if you like fish some poke http://www.overlandmeatco.com/fresh_f...
or ceviche with the chips would be yummy. ceviche is easy to make, you may be able to get poke at an asian market.
good luck
re: soulimar
I love the idea of the cucumber jicama lime! I would also like to vote for caipirinhas (cachaca, lime, sugar, ice). If you can get ahold of any small, delicious empanadas they are great finger-food too.
The In N Out tractor trailer is awesome, but over the top and a little bit NASCAR.
I fear bacon-wrapped hot dogs could be a scene-stealer.
Oh... and churros. Churros are perfect. Alas my favorite are Del Taco!
re: soulimar
I completely agree with the aguas frecas...those can be made into beautiful cocktails. If the OP needs inspiration she can visit Yxta downtown where they make a delightful jamaica margarita and other cocktails from there aguas frescas.
re: Pinkfoodie10
It might be fun to do a smaller version of the bacon wrapped hot dog, so it is finger food size. Or maybe even a more sophisticated one, like a kurobuta sausage wrapped in proscuitto.
A selection of pastries, both savory and sweet, from Porto's -- ok, not really street, but very L.A.
re: so_hungry
Oh no! I'm so sorry... that is the card that he gave me... I wonder if they have changed contact info. So sorry!!
re: so_hungry
If you are looking for Salinas Churros, try this number: Luis at (323) 519-9983.
You should have the Thai coconut waffle ball guy ( http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/49298 ) come and make dessert!
Langer's pastrami bought in bulk with their perfect twice-cooked rye, with the bread attractively cut into thirds, along with some coleslaw and cheese for do-it-yourself little sandwiches.
re: attran99
Sorry, one more thought...banh mi...get a Lee's or whichever is your fave location to ship some over or have some one to make small sandwiches to order.
Determine the current whereabouts of Fredo's former owner -- Dan -- and have him stop by to cook up his great cheesesteaks for everyone. He's a very friendly and sincere guy who would make your guests feel special. This would be more Pasadena street food than LA ;-), but Dan can communicate in both languages -- he's no Sy Stallone, you know wud I mean? It could get a bit expensive, however, because you'd have to hire security to keep out a large contingent of uninvited 'hounds from this board. ;-)
Fredo's Phillys
720 N Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91104
re: sbritchky
This caught me by surprise - Fredo's "former" owner Dan! What happened??
re: Michelle
He sold his part of the business to his partner (at least that's my understanding) last year. He'd said that he was looking for another place to open (was talking about Eagle Rock) and had also mentioned purchasing something akin to a taco truck for his phillies ... but so far he hasn't resurfaced, near as I can tell.
Hopefully, if anyone is in the know about his location, they'll chime-in.
Love this thread! I'm also booking Kogi for my wedding (we decided on it before I read about it here, promise!) and think the idea of more L.A. street food is great. Bahn mis would be fab. How about Thai snacks and salads? Crispy rice salad, beef salad, satays for the less adventurous, fermented spicy ribs. Round it out with bobas to drink!
You are doing Asian street food already, what if you did some Japanese street food? I ate teriyaki and robata from street carts when I was in Tokyo
re: jurmanji
Argh. I don't have the exact name, but there is a terrific vendor (SUCH good bacon dogs) at the El Segundo Farmer's market every Thursday afternoon and early evening. As I posted on this thread, I think the booth is Tropical-something:
Here's a list of all the certified farmer's markets around, I believe they go to others too, and there should be a contact phone number for the organizer of the El Segundo one if you need to get the name:
re: perk
Or the Bulgarini Gelato ice cream cart.

"If these companies go out of business, we'll lose a lot of the important jobs that give people a decent living and allow them to go to work with a smile on their face," says Warren Mayor James Fouts, whose city is home to the General Motors tech center, a GM powertrain plant, and two Chrysler plants, along with dozens of suppliers to the auto industry. "It's the little people who are going to be paying for this."
Tough economic times are hardly new to Michigan. The state has long been stuck in recession, has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, and currently has an unemployment rate above 9 percent. But auto workers, even those who were around to see the previous tough times for the industry in the 1980s, say this is worse than previous downturns. And it's the first time they've seriously questioned if one of the Big Three might not make it.
Many wonder if the model they always counted on – where employment at an auto company and membership in the United Auto Workers Union was a ticket to a middle-class lifestyle and a secure future and retirement – is finally coming to an end.
"In the 31 years I've put in, this is the worst I've seen," says Ms. Kelly-Smith, a third-generation GM worker who retired a year ago, along with her husband. Together, the two earn about $70,000 from their pension, and Kelly-Smith isn't sure what she'll do if that disappears. Her husband recently had a stroke, and their home isn't yet paid off.
"I'd have to go back on the job market and compete with the young folks," she says. "I thought I was secure if I stayed there, and did a decent job, and kept my health – that when I did retire that's when the good years would begin…. It's so frightening to think that all the time you've put in can just be washed away."

Written by D.F. Karppi Friday, 09 September 2011 00:00
Although retired by the New York City Fire Department in 1994, the John J. Harvey was pressed into service on 9/11.
On September 11, 2001, the boat's owners had asked FDNY officials for permission to assist in evacuations from Ground Zero. Meanwhile, due to many damaged water mains, fire crews were deprived of water. Officials radioed the Harvey to drop off her passengers as soon as possible and return to the disaster site to pump water, reactivating her official designation Marine 2. Alongside FDNY fireboats Firefighter and John D. McKean, she pumped water at the site for 80 hours, until water mains were restored.
The Harvey's story was the subject of a 2002 book by author illustrator Maira Kalman: Fireboat: The Heroic Adventures of the John J. Harvey. Ms. Kaiman's book is quoted as saying, when the John J. Harvey responded, "There were adjustments — forcing water into hoses by jamming soda bottles and wood into nozzles with a sledgehammer — and then the fireboat's volunteer crew pumped much-needed water to the disaster site. The John J. Harvey proved she was still one of New York's Bravest!" Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life, celebrating the energy, vitality and hope of a place and its people.
Built in 1931 in Brooklyn, John J. Harvey is 130 feet long and 268 net tons, she is one of the most powerful fireboats ever in service. She is in good company and shares a birthday with notable contemporaries like the Empire State Building and George Washington Bridge. She is powered by five 600 hp diesels turning generators coupled to two propulsion motors, and has capacity to pump 18,000 gallons of water a minute.
At the Oyster Festival kickoff, Len Rothberg, event coordinator said, "It sprayed water onto the World Trade Towers site after the attack. It is powerful enough to spray water over the George Washington Bridge."
The John J. Harvey served the FDNY from her launch in 1931 to her retirement in 1994. Among the marine fires at which she assisted were the Cunard Line pier fire in 1932, the burning of the Normandie in 1942, and the ammunition ship El Estero during World War II. She was named for marine fireman John J. Harvey, killed when the Thomas Willet exploded during a fire. She retired as Marine 2. The John J. Harvey is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of June, 2000. The oyster sloop Christeen is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a regular at Oyster Festivals where she takes visitors out for tours of the bay.
The Oyster Festival chairs for the tall ships portion of the event are Jennifer Sappell, Long Island North Shore Heritage Area executive director, a boat groupee and kayaker; and Rotarian James Werner, MBA, certified financial planner with the Halliday Financial Group, and a member of the Sagamore Rowing Association where he rows a scull. Their interest in the world of sailing gives them an edge in their volunteer jobs. The two have been bringing the tall ships to the Oyster Festival for several years. Ms. Sappell said Dan Walker is the person who connected her to the fireboat. Ms. Sappell said, "He is how I found the tug Cornell last year for the festival. He is part of a group called Save Our Ships, LTD. They care about our marine heritage."
Ms. Sappell said she hopes to have a lecture on fireboats sponsored by LINSHA in October at the Oyster Bay Historical Society. "But nothing is firmed up as yet," she said.
Nichole Menchise, OBHS librarian and curator said executive director Phil Blocklyn is aware of a movie documentary on fire boats from The History Channel and they are trying to find a place to have a viewing of the film with a date, time and location to be announced.
The Oyster Festival, Oct. 15 and 16 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. offers a fun mixture of new activities and old favorites for the entire family. Inspired by the success of a hometown parade honoring Theodore Roosevelt the year before, it has evolved into the largest outdoor festival on Long Island; originally run by the Oyster Bay Chamber of Commerce it is now under the auspices of the Oyster Bay Rotary. Every year, more than 200,000 visitors flock to an Indian summer weekend on the waterfront in downtown Oyster Bay – drawn by live entertainment, Tall Ships, (the American privateer The Lynx; and the 9/11 Fireboat John J. Harvey) top-notch artisans, pirate shows, midway rides, and the iconic oyster eating and shucking contest. The food court, where volunteer chefs and culinary pros work side by side, serves dozens of unique oyster, clam and other seafood treats along with traditional festival fare.
The Oyster Festival is a project of the Oyster Bay Chapter of Rotary Club International for the benefit of local not-for-profits. Visit www.theoysterfestival.org.
