I found this on facebook and was impressed enough to share. I don't live in Hosta Country, they're usually tiny plants compared to this one, and don't usually survive in our heat, though mine has come back from dormancy, much to my surprise! Anyway, I couldn't believe at first that this is really a hosta, I had no idea they get this large! |

where have you been??? .... lol ... that is a pic of brian skaggs.. GRHS ... his garden soil.. was made of 20 odd years of compost/manure .... he grew it too perfection .... it will NEVER grow like that in my sand ... there are a multitude of GIANT or XL hosta ... and your zone is your only limitation .... i know you got that one pot to winter over.. but one warm winter.. and .. well.. who knows... do keep hanging around.. so that you may become fully enabled ... ken |
Ken, I'm working on it! The only hostas I see are in nurseries, and of course, they aren't anywhere near as large as that one. I had no idea they get that large. I don't think something like that would thrive here, even in perfect soil. My soil is heavy clay, except for the areas I've turned into gardens or flowerbeds. I did pick up a second hosta to try, it's Halcyon. I think, if someone else in my area can grow 300 of them in pots, I can have several successfully. The one I overwintered has about 8 or so growths coming up now. Growing in pots is okay with me. After all, there are a lot of plants that we grow in the ground that y'all up in the cold northlands have to grow in pots and keep warm in the winter. Do you mean enabled or addicted? ha, it would be easy with hostas! |

I planted an Empress Wu,from Proven Winners last year. It is up now,but a long way from unfurling a leaf. My Dino,new this year has started to unfurl a leaf,and the second one is coming,but apparently,the variegation comes on later,as you can barely tell that it is variegated. Phil |

Hey there, EAH........ Note my zone is 9a in south Alabama, a mile or so south of I-10 and a mile or so west of Mobile Bay. About 450 miles east of me, in Jacksonville, is ILOVETOGROW, Paula, another hosta addict. Glad to have another zone challenged hosta lover join the conversation. Consider yourself a pioneer of the hosta frontier. I have about 325 hosta, if all come up again this spring. I'm new to the game, enabled as I was in spring of 2012. It's possible to go from 12 hosta to 304 in 6 months, believe me. Empress Wu is not one of my babies. But I have a few young versions of very large hosta, all except 3 total hosta are in containers. If any get bigger than I can push around the garden in pots, then they'll have to be content in the ground....fighting mostly tree roots. Welcome, and enjoy the forum. |

Wade and Gatton's 'Sum and Substance' is quite massive as well....Scroll to bottom of link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wade and Gatton's giant Hosta
I saw Van's Sum and Substance in 2011. It's more than 9 feet across. That picture doesn't do it justice! My Empress Wu is growing at three times the rate of my Sum and Substance. I got mine before it was a Proven Winner, it will be in its fourth season this spring. My Jurassic Park is growing as fast as Empress Wu, but it doesn't seem to have the height that Wu does. Now, like Ken said, I'm back to finishing up my tax season. Gesila |

We've yet to receive confirmation, but we're hearing rumblings that a production Saab 9-3X wagon may make its way to the 2008 Paris motor show this October.
Like the 9-3X concept shown at the 2002 Detroit auto show (pictured), the production car will be a 'soft-road' version of the 9-3 SportCombi - albeit sporting all five doors.; Like Volvo's XC60, the 9-3X will sport all-wheel-drive, more ground clearance, and large bumpers.
Although it won't be a true SUV, the 9-3X is intended to fit between the 9-3 SportCombi wagon and the upcoming 9-4X crossover, expected to ride on GM's next-generation Theta platform.

Tue, Feb 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) — Children and teens can now use a continuous blood sugar monitoring system that's already being used by adults, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Monday.
The agency approved the use of the Dexcom G4 Platinum Continuous Monitoring System by diabetes patients ages 2 to 17. The device provides continual information about glucose (blood sugar) levels in the fluid around cells. It's used in conjunction with a blood glucose meter.
The G4 Platinum System is the first continuous blood sugar monitoring system approved for use in patients ages 2 to 17, the FDA said. The approval was based on a study that included 176 children and teens who wore the sensor for seven days.
The study revealed that in some ways, the device did not work as well in youngsters as in adults. However, the device was effective in determining patterns in blood sugar levels in children and teens, and for alerting them when concentrations were reaching potentially dangerously high or low levels, according to the FDA.
"This device can provide valuable glucose trend information to children with diabetes and their families, but it is important that those using this device understand the expected performance of this device compared to blood glucose meters, especially for detecting low glucose, in pediatric patients," Alberto Gutierrez, director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Devices in the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an agency news release.

I agree with bettersense 100%. I just finished my first batch in a converted keg and it was so much easier than constantly screwing with the regulator trying to keep boilovers to a minimum in my old turkey fryer pot.
I have a 15g for 5g batches and love it. Going to get a 20g when i do 10g batches eventually. I don't ever want to worry about boil overs and thats is a good thing. One less thing to worry about in my opinion. Would do it again in a second.

I've got a 4x4 raised bed. I have three tomato plants in an east-west row on the north side of the bed. They will be supported by a vertical trellis. Would it work to plant a watermelon on the south side of the same bed? I'm thinking sugar baby or bush sugar baby, but I'm open if something else is better. The soil has a lot of compost mixed in, as well as some steer manure.
Thanks in advance, --TWH |

Follow-Up Postings:
Yeah man ... I grow my own ... Just kidding. But a friend in college ("Mushroom Diane" we called her) grew edible mushrooms in her kitchen, and based on her behavior, we suspected she grew other kinds of mushrooms as well. This was years ago, so I don't remember all the details, but I seem to recall she had ordered a sponge or brick-like thing from a Pacific NW grower, which was inoculated with the spores from edible tree mushrooms. She just dampened it and kept it in a dark location (I think inside her oven, or maybe her opium den) and the sponge/brick kept producing mushrooms which she'd pick periodically. So it definitely can be done here. |

Well, tommy, I would think they would grow here. We have them regularly coming up in the horse pens in the cooler months. Of course, not sure if those are edible but surely there must be some to grow here with appropriate humidity (like in a greenhouse). I would love to do this too. Hope someone can advise a good resource/reference for this. |

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

"Czech NKU Head Gets Suspended Sentence for Not Handing Documents" -- CTK
headline - CTK
Tuesday August 16, 2011 12:46:02 GMT
Dohnal abused a public official's power, the court said.
Dohnal previously said an audit of the NKU's financial management would
violate the independence of the NKU, exposing it to political influences.
BOTh Dohnal and the state attorney have appealed the verdict.
Prime Minister Petr Necas (Civic Democrats, ODS) considers Dohnal's
position untenable even though the verdict is not yet valid, his spokesman
Jan Osuch told CTK.
Dohnal said via his spokesman he would not comment on Necas's statement.
He did not comment on the verdict either.
If the court of appeal found Dohnal guilty and the verdict took effect,
Dohnal would cease to be NKU president and he could not remain a member of
the NKU board either.
The state attorney says Dohnal was officially told in late 2010 that the
lower house's control committee had started checking the NKU's financial
management. The committee asked him to cooperate and to submit documents
necessary for the check.
Dohnal then rejected the committee's request, though he was previously
fined 50,000 crowns for the same reason.
As Dohnal is responsible for the NKU's financial management, he wanted to
prevent the check and avoid punishment for possible uncovered mistakes,
the state attorney says.
Dohnal said today he would act in the same way now.
The dispute between Dohnal and the lower house's control committee started
in 2009.
In March 2009, the NKU board approved a resolution saying the NKU's
financial management had been ineffective in 2008. The lower house
committee decided to check the board's reservations. According to the
committee's report, Dohnal had breached the laws on public orders and on
the pay of constitutional officials.
In October, the committee formed a special team to check the NKU's
financial management over the past five years.
Not even repeated calls made Dohnal provide the necessary documents to the
Dohnal previously admitted his refusal to cooperate on the check. He said
the NKU should not be checked by deputies but foreign courts of auditors.
He said the law on the NKU does not define the rules of such checks, nor
does it deal with deputies' possible bias or their powers to handle the
NKU documents, or the NKU's chance to appeal the check's result.
"Without orders of procedure, the check is nothing but a political act
without any relevance," Dohnal said.
Judge Jana Miklova today said the NKU president is bound to cooperate on
an external check under the law on state control. It is theref ore not
true that no legal directive exists to define conditions of such a check,
Miklova said.
By preventing the NKU's check by the lower house committee, Dohnal harmed
the Czech Republic that owns the property managed by the NKU, Miklova
Adressed by CTK, the committee chairman Vojtech Filip (opposition
Communists, KSCM) and deputy chairwoman Zdenka Hornikova (senior ruling
Civic Democrats, ODS) welcomed the verdict and said the appeal court's
ruling must be waited for.
The committee will continue seeking the NKU's documents in question, both
Filip and Hornikova told CTK separately.
Dohnal says the deputies who demanded the check were biased. Even before
the check started, they commented in the media on what the check's result
would be and how Dohnal would be punished.
Before the dispute, Dohnal says he had a conflict with the deputies over
the personnel filling of the NKU board, which they wanted to influence.
Dohnal also sai d he previously handed all documents he was obliged to
hand to the Chamber of Deputies.
Dohnal's lawyer said Dohnal would not hand the documents to the deputies
as the NKU is the supreme audit office, not "the second highest."
Dohnal, 51, former deputy and regional governor for the Christian
Democrats (KDU-CSL), has been NKU president since 2005.
In March, the court made another ruling on Dohnal. In a separate case, it
acquitted him of using inappropriately luxurious flats for state money. A

'Lipstick Jungle': Breaktime!
NBC's Sex and the City rip-off homage Lipstick Jungle is only partially through with filming their second season, and stars Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price are already lying down on the job!
Yes, it's discouraging that you're missing a fourth girlfriend, and the clothes aren't as fabulous as your predecessor, but that's no reason to throw in the (assuredly not Patricia Fields-designed) towel!
Brooke and Lindsay eventually got up off their asses to resume filming their show.
Take heart, girls. You beat out Cashmere Mafia.
And there's always this topless co-star to inspire getting to the set on time.

"Who is Silvia? what is she?" asks the song in Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona. For at least 300 years, people have been asking the same set of questions about Shakespeare. The desire to understand this poet and playwright, born in 1564, began with the first scholarly edition of his works, published in 1709. New editions, performances, adaptations, and memorabilia appear every year.
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Shakespeare's plays enjoyed a revival on stage that has not ceased. At the same time, antiquarians scoured the archives to find any new bits of information about Shakespeare. Others were not shy about forging documents, so eager was the public for anything "new."
General admiration for Shakespeare spilled over into popular culture then and now: artists have depicted his characters and Shakespeare himself; composers have interpreted his writings in music; actors have defined and redefined his roles; and the rage for Shakespeare has led to a multitude of celebratory objects from tea caddies and dolls to statues and artists' books.
For this exhibition, we asked members of the Folger staff to propose some of their favorite Shakespeare things in the collection, which we then arranged in four sections: Fixating on Shakespeare; Printing Shakespeare; Performing Shakespeare; and Depicting Shakespeare. Discover how we are still celebrating Shakespeare 450 years after his birth.

TRX® Introduces the TRX® Rip(TM) Trainer, the First Line Extension to Its Functional Training Line-up
SAN FRANCISCO, March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — TRX®, the training company, and creators of Suspension Training® bodyweight exercise, has announced its first product line extension. To date, TRX has established its leadership position in the functional training space through a comprehensive offering of TRX Suspension Training based gear, programming content, and hands-on professional education. The addition of the TRX Rip(TM) Trainer further expands the company's ability to deliver functional and innovative training for individuals of all fitness levels and abilities.
The TRX Rip Trainer is a 40-inch, commercial-grade bar with a sheathed elastic resistance cord that can attach to either one or both sides; the bar collapses for easy portability and comes with a door anchor, Basic Training DVD and guidebook. Created by a Peter Holman, a two-time US National Tae Kwon Do champion, Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, the TRX Rip Trainer uses the asymmetrical loading of the resistance cord to constantly challenge one's balance and force maximum muscle recruitment. Like the Suspension Trainer, the Rip Trainer is lightweight, weighing less than four pounds, easy to set up, incredibly versatile, and it allows anyone at any fitness level to get a full body workout.
"The Rip Training methodology is a perfect complement to Suspension Training and an ideal extension to our ongoing mission to offer effective and efficient functional training solutions," said Randy Hetrick, Founder and CEO of TRX. "We have always been much more than a single-product company, but I was only willing to add another training tool if it met our high standards for proven performance, quality and versatility; it had to be equally effective for average exercisers, elite athletes and military personnel. Integrating the Rip Trainer into our product line made perfect sense because of our shared mission to democratize world class training."
While the TRX Suspension Trainer is a training tool that builds total body stability and strength by leveraging the user's bodyweight through hundreds of functional exercises, the TRX Rip Trainer develops explosive power and rotational movements. The TRX Rip Trainer emphasizes rotation through spiral movement in all three planes of motion. Since resistance cord tension loads are lower than bodyweight loads, the Rip Trainer enables users to more readily focus on speed and ballistic power. By using the TRX Rip Trainer, individuals can strengthen the muscles around the spinal cord, making them more stable and less likely to be easily injured.
"Since we conceived of the Rip Trainer and brought it to market, we had watched TRX become one of the biggest innovators in the fitness industry," said TRX Rip Trainer inventor Peter Holman. "Not only had they created their own category, but they had also maintained leadership by providing the best programming, exercises, and support. We are excited to bring Rip Training to more and more people, and joining the TRX family definitely gives us the platform and resources to reach the perfect customer base."
The addition of the Rip Trainer to TRX's product line-up is one of many big events for the company in the past year. In January, TRX launched a new evolution in training education with the TRX TV online video franchise. TRX TV provides streaming video featuring new workouts, movements and progressions, allowing consumers and trainers to receive a constant flow of innovative ideas they can integrate into their workouts. In late 2010, the United States Department of Defense purchased 24,000 TRX Suspension Trainers that were distributed to deploying U.S. Military brigades and battalions.
About TRX®
At TRX, our mission is to democratize world class training. We are committed to helping our customers achieve peak physical condition by creating exceptional physical training products and exercise programs that can be used anywhere. We will earn the trust of the world's most demanding consumers by creating best-in-class products that deliver results, not promises.
Since its introduction to the marketplace in 2005, the TRX has proven to be the ideal solution for personal, small and large group functional training and has been rolled out in top gyms across the country, including Crunch, Urban Active, and YMCAs. It is used and trusted by trainers, athletes, physical therapists, and all branches of the military. Its popularity with professional athletes and team training rooms is exploding across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC and NCAA. The performance training community, including world class conditioning coaches such as Todd Durkin and Mark Verstegen, and elite personal trainers like Gunnar Petersen and Bob Harper are embracing TRX as a tried and true fitness method appropriate for all fitness levels.
The complete line of TRX products, training programs, education and accessories can be purchased directly from TRX online at www.trxtraining.com. For more information call the company at (888) 878-5348 or email email@example.com.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Thought this was fun....
Think You Know China? Eight Things Foreigners Get Wrong
As a public service, here's a thoroughly idiosyncratic,
non-comprehensive list of the eight most common misunderstandings
about China.
1. China is America in the 50's (or Japan in the 80's, or Mexico in
the 90's, or...).
Everybody loves a good historic analogy, but China is too big, too
complex, and too thoroughly integrated with the rest of the world.
China's consumer culture is leapfrogging its own unique path.
2. China's public data are unreliable.
There have been tremendous strides recently in the quality of publicly
available data, especially for urban demographics. Pay attention to
the development plans of central and city governments. Their plans are
clear and ambitious, if vague at times. I also recommend a visit to
the Shanghai Museum of Urban Planning to anyone curious about
population density, retail clusters, or transportation infrastructure.
3. China's internet is like the rest of the world.
As Google's drama has highlighted, China's internet is unique.
Global big guys like eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Skype and yes,
Google, are insignificant or non-existent here. Want to utilize social
networks for your brand? Spend a day learning QQ, and mastering its
roster of functions not seen in the West. I have a soft spot for
Douban, which acts as a sort of user-generated index to the global
library of music and film.
Empowered by Douban, culturally-inclined youth are uncovering
everything from punk classics to experimental Dutch cinema, and
sharing them with their friends.
4. China's consumers are split between urban and rural.
Technically true. But most global brands are actually dealing with a
limited part of China: the mega-urban and the merely urban. China's
consumer market is overwhelmingly clustered in cities, many with
populations of one million or more. Size isn't everything. The most
relevant factor for marketers should be the city's access to a
cultural center like Beijing or Chengdu. A mom living in a medium-size
city two hours from Guangzhou is likely more sophisticated about
brands than her counterpart living in the massively populated, but
under-exposed, provincial capital city Zhengzhou.
5. China's regional differences are as big as Europe's.
I hear this one from very sophisticated people, keen to show their
respect for the scale and scope of China. Their hearts are in the
right place, but they overstate the case. There are certainly regional
differences, but within a moderate range. All of China learns the same
history, takes the same exams, speaks the same language (at school at
least), and watches the same news programs. Climate is one big
exception, and it does influence food, architecture, and even
6. There are big generation gaps between each decade.
Generation gaps are huge, and they crop up more than every decade.
This is a logical result of fast economic growth. Changes in culture
and technology result in wildly different formational environments.
Today's 25-year-olds grew up watching glossy boy bands like Taiwan's
F4. Meanwhile kids a mere five years younger watched gender-bending Li
Yuchun (from Super Girl) and other courageous oddities of the Reality
TV circuit. Is it any wonder they embrace a weirdness that baffles
their elders?
7. China is rapidly westernizing.
Without a doubt China is modernizing--just look at all the KFCs. But
can we call it westernizing if those KFCs sell congee for breakfast?
While there is a notable increase in Western brands and lifestyle
options, it is matched by a comparable increase in historic Chinese
culture. Witness the renewed interest in pu'er tea collecting,
learning calligraphy, and the resurrection of Imperial dishes. There
is a strong argument that China is becoming more Chinese. There's one
other often-overlooked influence: North Asia. Japan, the world's
second biggest economy, sits off China's shore, and its cultural
influence is at least as significant as that of the West. Sure,
18-year-olds in urban China are wearing American Nikes. But
15-year-old kids are reading Japanese manga and listening to Korean
8. Chinese youth are divided into tribes.
There is a kernel of truth here, and young people are segmenting
themselves at ever-earlier ages. But these tribes look different from
their Western counterparts. In the West we can use magazine, music,
and brand affiliations as shorthand to describe a group. These don't
quite work in China, what with print media being relatively small and
the music scene so confused by piracy. Brand preference can be
descriptive in big cities, but in the rest of the country brand
differentiation is more blurred. So what does that leave? Celebrity
preference can be useful. Choice of hobbies, including membership in
online clubs, says a lot about a person. But there is a lot of
fluidity and change.

Introducing Moto3 Racing Team Germany
Published on 18.11.2013 12:05Battery Energy Drink is a proud supporter of Caretta Technology RTG (Racing Team Germany). Team is competing in the former 125cc class World Championship Grand Prix category, now titled Moto3. Racing Team Germany's young and dynamic team is an excellent addition to Battery Energy Drink's roster with their high-speed sport. "We wanted to team up with Battery Energy Drink because it is the premium energy drink on the market. The products look and taste good so it really is something we want to offer to our fans and partners", says RTG's representative Hendrik Heyrman.
For 2014 Moto3 season RTG's team will be Spanish racer Efrén Vásquez who finished 9th in the 2013 World Standings and John McPhee from UK whose final standing was 19th in 2013. Team RTG finished the past season with both of their riders in the top 20 overall points and they are preparing for a strong 2014 season fuelled by Battery Energy Drink.
Moto3 basics: The 4-stroke, 250cc, single-cylinder class replaced the 125cc GP category in 2012. The maximum age for riders is 28 (25 for wild-card riders or those newly contracted and competing in a Moto3 for the first time) and the minimum age is 16. A Grand Prix event takes place over three days, with the first two of those for practice and qualification for each class. (Source: http://www.motogp.com/en/MotoGP+Basics/overview)

Bases are different . Having the paint made by another co. would not produce the same color. Better to color match. |
They all have a database of one kind or another with competitor's color palettes and formulas. You'll get one of two things when you cross brands: 1. The paint counter person will look up your color and sell you the closest match in their home-store brand. Depending on the brand, they have a set point, Delta E minimum or some kind of corporate standard for a color match. Universal Delta E scale is 0-1 not detectable by human eye, 1-2 narrow difference noticeable to a trained eye only, 2-3.5+ Obvious to just about any human with eyeballs and normal vision. If the computer color match from their brand palette is less than two (ish), they may mix and sell you that color. Because it's close enough per Delta E standards to the other brand's color -- and odds are you'll never know the difference. 2. They look up your color, find a match in their brand and use that data to START making you a custom color. A series of mixing, draw-downs and evaluation will follow until you leave the store happy that you got the color your came for. YMMV. Meaning there's probably other options too. All paint stores are different. Communication is important. Talk to the counter person so they can explain how they do it in their store. |

garyh1 Posts: 386The front end is admittedly similar to the Roll Royce, Bentley and the Chrysler 300, but it is refreshing in a sea of bland front ends.
Except those other cars all carry over the height of the grille to the sides of the car as well. That's why it works for these other cars-- but to me it just sticks out like a sore thumb on the A8. The rest of the car is basically a relatively low and sleek design with all visual cues horizontal, and then out of nowhere comes this exaggerated vertical grille. All IMHO, of course. -
denaliinpa Posts: 169the S8 looks great.
i would think that Audi has reserved room for future HP gains
with this engine. it would be nice to see the price stay beneath
100k. i could see paying an additional 10k to 15k for the upgraded
engine but not 40k.
on a separate note....lexus has overnighted their own special
kool aid to all of their faithful followers. the new LS is more attractive
than the current model....as if that were any challenge to surpass. :confuse:
to my eyes it looks just like the GS but larger. my guess is the new LS will age
prematurely because there is nothing distinctive about its appearance.
price point and the reliability factor will bolster it's sales. the faithful will
remark how beautiful it is but in the end it is still a conservatively designed
automobile. a design that will be very quickly forgotten as soon as the next
generation is released. now that lexus will be offering more than one powertrain
and wheel base maybe the kool aid guzzlers will realize just how inadequate
and simple the lexus line up has been since it's inception.....but most likely probably not!
people can say what they will about Bangle and BMW but the 5
series seems to be aging nicely. i hated the look when they
first came out but now i would prefer a 5 over every other car in
it's class. the new S seems to be designed much in the same
way. a lot to take in at first..... but my guess is it will become more interesting
and attractive as time passes.
one last thought.....why is it that the kool aid drinkers of the lexus fan
club want/need lexus to surpass all other automakers? what is it about this
group of people that they feel so personally attached to lexus and
any successs lexus has in the market place? they remind me of the
football fans that paint their faces or wear goofy outrageous outfits to
football games. this success by identification is just down right scary! -

Well I won't take that too personally because I like to think that I'm one of the more balanced Lexus fans. But you do realize that some of the folk that frequent this particular board can be accused of the same sort of thing, but with a particular German brand? -
esf Posts: 1,020Tony-
I have been a diehard Audi fan since I leased my A6 2.7T in 2000 (I now own an S4 Cabriolet). I can be pretty sure that the S8 will not be that pricey in American dollars. Generally, it would be about $20K less than the new AMG S-Class. I'm going to say $95,000 in AMERICAN dollars. The A8L is $70K, anyway, and this has 115 more hp, and more standard features. -
esf Posts: 1,020Love the Phaeton. I don't love it just because I love Audis- I know it's a Volkswagen, and I love the A8 too. I just don't think there's much of a chance for success there. I see about three times as many A8s than Phaetons here (I live in a prestigious suburb of Chicago), and I think I know why. I have many reasons:
1. Of course, the Audi badge. For only $2,000 more and you're getting a car that's just as good as the Phaeton, why not?
2. ASF (Audi Space Frame)- it makes the A8 about 800 lbs. lighter, making it easily quicker but just as plush.
3. quattro- Although the Phaeton has an AWD system, Volkswagen's system is not as advanced as Audi's. Audi would never sell them their monumental rights! But, Volkswagen has the last-generation Haldex AWD system, while quattro has Torsen. And, there's the name- everyone trusts quattro.
4. Styling- although this is different for most people, and the Phaeton is a very handsome car, most people regard the A8 as better looking. I think it looks much lower to the ground than the VW, making it look more dynamic.
5. Interior- Volkswagen does not have much experience in the luxury business, so I'll give them props for a first time well done. It does, however, seem too cluttered. The A8's design flows much better on the inside. Audi uses more exotic wood trim, better NAV systems, and Alcantara inserts.
Okay, again, props to Volkswagen for trying. They should make a full-size Skoda. -
blckislandguy Posts: 1,150Whoa. Not so fast on the AWD stuff. I wouldn't agree that Torsen is necessarily better than Haldex. Haldex certainly is a better known brand of clutches and power train components than Torsen. Moreover, Volvo with their Cross Country switched from Torsen to Haldex.
I suspect that the real difference in AWD systems that can be felt by the driver is the % of traction directed to each axle. The VW Toureg is roughly 50/50 front vs. rear axle. The Porsche Cayenne which shares the same AWD system as the T-Reg is much more oriented toward the rear. For this and other reasons I bought the Cay. What is the percentage break down on the Phaeton vs. the A8? -
merc1 Posts: 6,081I was kinda expecting a little more power. Audi is counting on the weight difference between the S8 and the A8L W12 to provide the S8 with an straight-line advantage over the W12 engined car. Of course the swb S8 has a tuned suspension setup so the handling will easily be better in the S8. I guess they're saving the really big hp for the RS8, if there is such a vehicle coming. Now I wonder if the upcoming S6 will have the same V10.
merc1 Posts: 6,081Well I think they'll both have to be seen in person before making final judgements, imo. The grille on the Audis looks good to me. All 2006 A8s have the big grille not just the W12 version like on 2005 models. As for the wheel arches on the S I think it is severly dependent on angle - at least in photographs.
All nice pics imo, even stunning. However........
these same arches are exgerrated in these.....
Not to bad here.
I've just gotta see this car in person because so far the wheel arches in the rear is the only thing I see questionable. The arches seem to have been styled for the AMG sport package than the regular spec car. :confuse:
anthonyp Posts: 1,857I think alot of thes looks and comments will moderate if the price is adjusted, or the lease is reasonable and supported by Mercedes.....I would have possibly (after I saw it ) gotten one IF the price were right. One thing is the engine will be superior to them all, and the seat will also if what I have read is accurate.I just think most people just don`t see the extra cost of the mercedes verses the lexus..I also think we are getting set for a recession shortly, so people will be more cost conscience....We`l see....Go sox Tony ps I`m a marlin fan, but not a heavy duty baseball fan
denaliinpa Posts: 169
paldi Posts: 210Sorry esf, but the Phaeton and A8 both use the same AWD system - 4Motion and quattro are identical and both Torsen.
I think the VW looks lower to the ground in euro-spec trim. The US model is jacked 1/2 inch to allow for our roads. Tires are also "shorter" on the Phaeton by 0.70 inch giving even more fender/wheel gap.
Audi and Phaeton wood are equally outstanding, but there's tons more wood in the Phaeton all across the dash when the vent covers are down. Alcantera headliners available for Phaeton ROW, but not USA.
I hope VW continues to develop the Phaeton - a twin turbo W12 or the V10 would be nice. And, of course, better wheels/tires!
I'm upgrading my wheels and tires - to Bentley!
anthonyp Posts: 1,857I just got back from a short trip on a private plane....I checked out the parking lot, and noticed only one high end car out of say fifty to sixty cars. The great majority were suv, mostly dirty from the roads the people use to get to their country places or plantations in the old world....There are a good many jets and turbo props and that is what the executives really crave....I must admit it is the finest form of transportation in this era...It is also the most abused, and we--all of us--support it through the tax laws....Tony
rjlaero Posts: 659I think you're looking at about 110-115k in US dollars when the S8 comes next year. The RS4 is going to be 75k in the US next spring. No way you're going to get the V10 S8 for 95K. The old RS6 back in 2003 was 85 G's. And that car didn't a V10 engine.
RS4 is mid 70's
S6 will be 90-95K
S8 will be 110-115K -
scott1256 Posts: 531fans: some good news! Sales are better than the doom and gloom media types were predicting. Year to date units sold are down less than 1% across the line.
The M and the SLK are carrying the ball for the brand right now. Most other models are showing double digit drops for the year.
See details: link title -
merc1 Posts: 6,081Actually that link isn't working allow me:
Oct Benz Sales
One thing is for sure Mercedes clearly exceeded the planned 8-10K sales for the CLS, at over 12K for the year so far with 2 more months left.

Hey guys. I used Behr Wet Look Sealer from Home Depot on the pavers and coping around my pool. It has turned white and hazy. I have tried the Behr Sealer Remover and a scraper, and I have also tried a very nasty masonry stripper and a drill with a wire brush bit. It has been very slow and very dirty. The pool chemistry has also been thrown out of whack whenever I try a new idea. Any better ideas on how to get rid of the old sealer, and what I should use to seal the pavers. Thanks. |

I posted a similar review of the Behr product a few years ago. This stuff is awful. I didn't do the chemical removal bit since others told me it wouldn't work. Here we are three years later and the last of it is finally coming off on it's own. Acid doesn't help any, either, since it eats through the paver at the concentration needed to get rid of the sealer. Just wait it out...it gets better next year as it flakes off. We chose just to leave it alone and it's fine. I don't think you really need sealer unless you want a constant "wet" look. There's some very good penetrating sealer that is very expensive but works great that I can recommend. It would have cost me about $1,100 to seal my deck so I passed. Good luck... Ralph |

Jamy, we get at least a big job a month removing and resealing from those big box store products. Our usual routine is pressure wash apply soy gel let sit, repeat 2 or 3 times reseal You may be able to find the soy gel(enviro friendly) if you have a concrete accessories store nearby that sells retail. |
Ralph and airborne 101, we have just installed pavers and are in the process of filling the pool with water next week. I have matching pavers in a florida room which is 18 x 20 and would like to seal it to protect it from staining, spillage of wine etc. I do not think that I would like to seal the outside pavers. Can you please give me some ideas on what products will be suitable? Our blog is " Our New Pool Build in Jacksonville, FL" Thanks in advance |

text: Hello everyone! I'm in my 3rd week of Ideal Protein diet. Lost 5lbs my first week and 3.6 my 2nd. I do chocolate shakes twice a day and an omelet once a day. I add my onion and mushrooms into my omelet at lunch and then supper I am browning ground beef or turkey with mushrooms, onions and yellow bell pepper and eating it over lettuce. If I'm out of mushrooms I will add spinach into my lettuce. Here's my problem... I loath most veggies. The exception being corn, carrots, peas, beans. Basically the stuff I can't have. I've tried roasting them, grilling them, boiling them. I'm going to try to purée them and mix them in in with meat and make a "loaf". Does anyone else have this issue??? I know veggies are an important part of this diet so I've got to figure out some way to get them down!!! :?:

The Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348-9, was the first chivalric order of Europe. From 1415, it had its own herald, Garter King of Arms. The motto of the Order, Honi soit qui mal y pense (Evil be to him who evil thinks) is inscribed on the Garter surrounding the royal arms and the arms of all knights of the Order.
Every knight of the Order of the Garter was given a copy of the Order's statutes when he was elected to it. This copy (top image right) has revisions and additions down to January 1559, and was probably written for Henry Manners, Earl of Rutland, who was elected a knight in 1559 and whose arms appear on the second leaf.
The royal arms encircled with the Garter appeared everywhere, including on bindings. King James I of England must have commissioned the binding of this copy of his Meditation upon the Lord's Prayer (middle image right), since his own arms (as King of England, Scotland, and Ireland) are surmounted by a crown and inlaid in gilt on crimson velvet. He most likely intended this luxurious copy to be given away.
This collection of coats of arms of knights of the Garter (bottom image right) was presented to James I in 1606 by William Segar, Garter King of Arms, who penned it himself. The arms shown at right, within a collar of the Order of the Garter, are intended to be those of Thomas FitzAlan, earl of Arundel, whose family history is recounted on the facing page. As a penciled note by a later owner remarks, Segar has unfortunately inverted the colors of this most celebrated coat of arms: by showing the lion as red and the field as gold, he has given the arms of the Charleton family, Lords Powys.

I ask completely seriously - is there ANY reason why you would want a Tryndamere on your team? He is a physical carry who is physically weaker than most other physical carries. I've played about 15 games with him over the past week, and he is the only hero who I have a negative win/loss record with. Maybe I'm just bad with Tryndamere unlike other champions, or maybe he is just a underpowered hero. Tryndamere's damage comes purely from physical attacks. At best, this damage is multiplied by +30% crit chance (at 1 life), +24 damage and +40% Crit Damage. Compared to a hero like Twitch who can gain +140% attack speed, Trist's +80% Attack speed, Yi's +70 Damage and Attack speed, Singed +65 Damage and +65% Attack speed, we see that other heroes can do more dps than Tryndamere. So what is Tryndamere good for? Well, if he finds one squishy enemy hero alone with low life, he can spin in and slow and kill that enemy. He isn't very good for team fights where a silence, blind, stun, even a movement speed slow can all negate him completely. He has absolutely no early game abilities - he can heal but it is worthless until level 3 or higher. He can't harass, can't farm unless the enemies are noobs, and can't even do much to get kills until he's been farmed up a bit. Anyways, I'm tired of being the reason games are lost because I picked a hero who is absolutely terrible. I'm going to play the other 29 champions who all seem to win games just fine.
He and Evelynn are probably the most UP Champs in the game right now. Especially with the Heimerdinger buff coming soon.
Majority of melee toons are UP in the current state of the game.
Junior Member
Trynd is hardly UP i would suggest that Spinning slash should crit as in the end of the game it does less than your standard melee, but he is not the worst... he is better than Kat by a long shot. I have a number of strong games played with him and about 115 games played with him total. highest score vs lvl 30s was 37-7-7
I loved to play Tryn before he was changed, now he is useless in my opinion. please change him again or change him BACK!
I hope he isnt changed its an art to be good with trynd you need timing cool quick judgment calls and CLEANSE, jeez i hear soo much QQ about CC just ****ing cleanse WW out or UR gg
Once Jax got his buff Tryndamere became the worst of the melee crowd (not counting Katarina who is basically broken). Problems: No early game at all. Whirlwind doesn't do any damage so it's purpose is ostensibly to get away or chase, but it is bad at both. Perhaps make it %-of AD similar to Pantheon's abilities? Or give it some actual range. His ultimate has an extremely long cool down compared to, say, Kayle's, and fights often occur while it's on CD; if Tryndamere goes into a big battle without it he will die. His ultimate is still susceptible to CC; I think he should be immune to silence and fear a la Yi being immune to movement effects during his ult. Really, though, I think his biggest problem is his early game. It is the worst of any character, IMO, and if you screw up and die or anything of that sort it is a very long road to get anywhere. The next biggest issue would be his whirlwind which is just lackluster all around. A little bit of a fix to either in some way, and the latter may alleviate the former, would go a long way.

My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Just FYI to determine whether your tank is appropriate for a DG - the article recommends no less than a 2ft long tank so it has swimming space and only house it with non aggressive fish - a pair is not a good idea.
Java moss I believe is a low light plant so you don't need anything special for it, however, the fish need light for a few hrs each day so you would need a light for the tank - you will also need a heater & thermometer to maintain a consistent temp.46 gal fw tank with black skirt tetras, neon tetras, spotted corys, cherry barbs, otoclinus, snails & 4 amano shrimp - plastic & live plants

0The tank I plan on getting has two LED lights in the hood, just not sure how strong they are. It also comes with an adjustable heater so I dont have to worry about buying one. I think I have decided to try my snail, ADF and 3 mollies, probably two silver lyretails and a dalmatian. I am def going to get a few moss balls and have been researching other live plants to consider. I like the different types of anubias.

Barth, Karl
Barth, Karl
biographical name(born May 10, 1886, Basel, Switz.died Dec. 9/10, 1968, Basel) Swiss theologian. He studied at the Universities of Berlin, Tübingen, and Marburg, and in 1911–21 he was a pastor at Safenwil, Switz. The tragedy of World War I made him question the liberal theology of his teachers, rooted in post-Enlightenment ideas. With The Epistle to the Romans (1919) he inaugurated a radical turnaround in Protestant thought, initiating a trend toward neoorthodoxy. The work led to his appointment as professor at Göttingen (1921), Münster (1925), and Bonn (1930). He was a founder of the Confessing Church, which opposed the Nazi regime; when his refusal to take the oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler cost him his chair at Bonn, he returned to Basel. He spoke at the opening of the World Council of Churches in 1948 and visited Rome following the Second Vatican Council.
