Don't break a sweat; use the BBT-9.
This is Park's shop-quality tool for installing your Shimano 10-speed Hollowtech II bottom bracket cups. It's long enough to give you adequate leverage for installing the cups with the force you need. The precisely shaped metal teeth of the BBT-9 won't damage the teeth on your BB cups provided you use it with care. The small end of the BBT-9 has what looks like a plastic wheel on it. This is actually, the splined plastic tool that you'll need for the spindle bolt to preload the bearings on your Hollowtech crankset. Otherwise, the Park Tool BBT-9 is compatible with Shimano Hollowtech II, FSA Mega Exo, SRAM GXP, and most other external bearing bottom bracket cups.

Great tool
Unlike the Shimano version, this handy tool combines the BB cup tool AND the preload bolt tool. My friend with the Shimano version just lost her preload bolt tool and tried to use needle nose pliers, which marred the crap out of the soft plastic Shimano uses. Made me so glad I bought this one. Like most Park tools, it's well thought out, made well, durable, and a pleasure to use.
This is the right tool for the job.

For those of you who read my last/first blog i mentioned that there would be a part two stemming from my initial predictions. After a bit of thought, i decided that i will try my hand at a semi regular blog with my own twist, or gimmick if you will. Il try and discuss a PPV or one of the weekly shows (RAW, Smackdown! and maybe even iMpact.. maybe), looking ahead at the possibilities that could come
Before i get into this i would like to explain a few things about me as a wrestling fan and as a person. I say both but the two are basically one in the same. Ive loved Pro Wrestling since a very early age, my first memory being that of The Million Dollar Man trying to buy off Big John Studd at the 1989 Royal Rumble. In saying that at the time i would have only been 2 years old, but seeing it year

Be the Match Bone Marrow Registry Drive
On Jan. 7 and 8, Aggie Health is partnering with Be the Match and the Red Cross to run a bone marrow registry drive. This is a simple 5-10 minutes process where a swab is taken from the inside of the cheek and used to create a donor profile. When someone is in need of a bone marrow transplant steps are taken to find a donor that fits a specific profile. Family members are the first to be contacted but 70% of patients will not have a match with someone within their family. This is where we step in. By building up the donor registry you help increase the possibility of a match being found. After adding your information to the registry you will be contacted in the event that someone needing a bone marrow transplant matches you. You will then have the choice whether or not you want to donate. The donation process is very similar to donating blood and is simple and pain free. If you choose to donate you will know that there is a specific person you are helping in an incredible way.

A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for all new construction and exterior alterations which are within an historic district and are visible from a public right of way, including those visible from public streets and alleys, waterways, and parks. A Permit to Demolish is required for all demolition or encapsulation over 25 square feet, regardless of visibility.
Certificate applications are available here. Completed applications and supporting materials should be submitted to BAR Staff. The Boards hold regular public hearings to review applications and determine appropriateness. Hearing schedules, deadlines, and filing fees for applications can be obtained from the BAR web page or by calling the Planning & Zoning office.
You need to complete and submit the Floor Area and Open Space Computations Form along with a copy of your Plat to P&Z. You will also need to contact the Code Enforcement Bureau to fulfill their permit requirements.
Please consult Section 7-202(B)(4) of the Zoning Ordinance as well as the Department of Code Administration. In general, a building permit is not required for a shed less than 150 square feet.
Sheds that are 50 square feet (for semi-detached homes and townhouses) and 80 square feet (for single-family homes) may be built up to the side and rear property lines. Larger sheds must comply with the applicable setback and open space requirements as delineated in the Zoning Ordinance.
BAR approval is required for sheds built in the Historic Districts. Please call 703-746-3833 for additional guidance.
BAR approval is required for fences built in the Historic Districts. Please call 703-746-3833 for additional guidance.
If your business does require an SUP, you must complete an application checklist and file an SUP application with P&Z detailing how the business will operate. The applicant must also provide written notice to nearby property owners. This Notice Requirements document provides detailed information regarding how applicants must provide written notice. Your application will be heard at two public hearings: one before the Planning Commission, which makes a recommendation of denial or approval to the City Council, followed by one before the City Council. The City Council makes the final decision. Generally, it takes up to two or three months to review and process your SUP application to the public hearings. For the hearing schedule and deadlines, click here. Applications received in April and May will be heard in September since the City Council does not meet in July or August.
A development site plan with an SUP, or DSUP, is simply a request for a development site plan that will not comply with specific zoning ordinance regulations. A DSUP requests the right to develop a property with relief from specific zoning ordinance requirements such as minimum parking requirements, building setbacks, or for increases in building height or square footage. An applicant requesting a DSUP approval must also meet a more stringent requirement by demonstrating that their project provides substantial public benefit before relief from zoning ordinance requirements are granted. Both the Planning Commission and City Council hear a request for a DSUP.
You can view the Zoning Ordinance for specific zoning regulations.
And you can call P&Z's Zoning counter for help anytime Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm at 703.746.4333.

Having a family shouldn't cost you your job. It does, again and again—especially if you're female. Which is one of the reasons women's pay still isn't equal.
I'll be writing about this in the months to come, but for today, here's one way having a family can cost you your job: women still get fired for being pregnant. Although it's been illegal since the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act, women are still refused a job or let go if they're pregnant. You'd be shocked, EEOC and employment law folks tell me, at how often employers say so point-blank: Come back after you have the baby. The guys don't want to look at a pregnant waitress. Housekeeping is hard work; your pregnancy is a potential liability. Our customers are uncomfortable with a pregnant driver.
All that's illegal. It's wonderful that we can talk about Sheryl Sandberg going home every day at 5:30 to be with her kids. And it's wonderful that we can have the advanced conversation about women needing to stand up for themselves in their professional careers. But there's a different set of issues for the bottom half of the workforce: basic, straightforward, illegal discrimination still hits them, over and over again. Women who are going to be rock-bottom poor, struggling to feed their children, if they lose their jobs for getting pregnant.
Here's an excerpt from the testimony of Sharon Terman, of San Francisco's Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, to the EEOC last February:
We have heard from many women who were fired immediately upon announcing their pregnancy, and whose employers expressly told them that pregnancy was the reason for their discharge.
One client told the owner of her company that she was pregnant about when she began the second trimester, and he responded, "That's not going to work," and fired her the next day. She was not asking for any leave or any accommodation, but he said, "We're a small company, and we can't afford to cover you when you're gone." Harassment of low-wage pregnant women is also quite common, and many women of color experience discrimination and harassment based not only on their pregnancy, but on race and national origin as well.
Second, an increasingly common pattern of discrimination against low-wage pregnant workers that we've seen is that, upon learning of a woman's pregnancy, the employer will force her to take an unpaid leave for the rest of her pregnancy. The forced leave is not based on medical need, but rather on the employer's unfounded assumption about the woman's capacity to do her job, or about fears regarding safety.
When one of our clients, a Latina janitor, told her boss she was pregnant, he said she needed to go on leave right away and find a replacement. Often this forced leave occurs early on in pregnancy, when the woman is perfectly able and very much wants and needs to keep working. Then, later, when the woman really needs the leave, she's already exhausted all allowable time off, and is fired.
For real-life examples, check out some EEOC cases at Muskegon River Youth Home, where women were required to report their pregnancies; a Detroit Comfort Inn, where a housekeeper was fired for being pregnant (and becoming, in her supervisors' eyes, a walking liability); and a Peoria, Arizona bar that refused to let a pregnant waitress work the most lucrative shift.
Firing a woman for getting pregnant—or forcing her out on unpaid "medical" leave that she doesn't need—is nasty enough. But pregnancy discrimination can also be a little more subtle. Imagine that you're pregnant and you just need to sit down for part of the day. Or you need to drink more water, and take more bathroom breaks, so you don't get a urinary tract infection. That's fine if you're a lawyer, professor, or some other knowledge worker who can control your physical world. It's not fine if you're a nursing assistant, waitress, warehouse worker, telephone operator, or someone else with little power. Employers have refused to allow a cashier to sit on a stool for a cashier, or refused to let a retail worker carry a water bottle. One UPS driver's doctor told her that, for the first trimester, she shouldn't lift more than 20 pounds. Even though the vast majority of UPS packages weigh two pounds and her coworkers were perfectly willing to help out with the others, and even though a man with a back injury or someone with a DUI would have been allowed a temporary accommodation, she was fired—and in Young v. UPS, the Fourth Circuit recently upheld the district court's summary judgment that refusing to keep her on was not pregnancy discrimination.
But there's good news on the horizon. Here comes some technical information, but hang on, it gets better. Recently I talked with EEOC Commissioner Chai Feldblum, who said that recently the EEOC picked out three emerging legal issues of discrimination where it wants to make a difference. One is this business of whether employers have to accommodate pregnant workers. The push is helped by the fact that major women's advocacy groups like the National Women's Law Center and the National Partnership for Women and Families have asked the EEOC to update its guidelines on precisely this issue. So there's hope that there will be change.
In 2008, Congress amended the ADA to expand the definition of disability to include temporary disabilities. You can't fire someone for having a back injury or a concussion; you have to find a way to help them along while they get better. So here's the question: shouldn't pregnancies that have temporary medical needs be protected as temporary disabilities?
That may sound obvious, but it will be much more obvious—and enforceable—if the EEOC issues a formal statement saying so. Feldblum thinks it is, and said she'll be working to persuade the other three commissioners that it's an urgent matter of equal pay, one of the EEOC's formal priorities. "If we can make a dent in the number of pregnant women who end up having to leave their jobs when they don't have to really," she said, "it will ultimately help in pay equity."
Here's why it matters: women and their children are going to stay poor if women lose their jobs, and later have a harder time finding new ones, just because they need to snack while they're pregnant. It keeps women and families poor. Women's wages can't possibly get to equal if they get lose their jobs for having children.

Age discrimination is supposed to be illegal also, but employers in technical professions consider an employee disposable after age 50. Companies have traditionally provided upgrade training as a part of the job, but computer programmers over 50 who do not have the personal funds and time off to obtain the credentials for newer systems are merely let go when their old mainframe duties become redundant. Older men and women who want a family are apparently considered "untermenschen" (subhuman) by the wealthy who run corporations.

Have you ever been pregnant? Have you studied the medical factors in a pregnancy? Have you see how fragile a pregnancy is that even the smallest mistake (e.g. sleeping on the wrong side, eating one "wrong" food, or even bending down incorrectly) can drastically affect a baby in their mother's womb? As someone who wrote an article about this, I'm fairly sure you would know correct? Now with all those risks, why do you believe that a business owner (especially a small business owner in this economy) won't be afraid that his/her pregnant employee will -at one point-ask for a leave (at least to even have the baby...I'm sure you understand how long it takes to safely give birth.) As a woman who owns multiple small businesses, one can't afford to be short on employees or staff. If the pregnant woman doesn't ask for a leave, that would be incredibly worrying for me. I would worry about her health, and the health of her child, plus the other workers would also worry for her because most people understand the delicacy and stress holding another form of life brings. This brings me to another point. About the waitress that was fired, I don't believe that she deserved to get fired (or that any of them deserved to lose their jobs), but I do understand (as a business holder) why she would get fired. To put it simply, firing them is a lot easier than placing them on temporary leave and filling their job with another worker. Restaurants and businesses don't run like schools, in which you could just hire a substitute teacher. Business...it's a dog eat dog world out there. Think about it as the person who worked so hard to make it to the top, and then a person who couldn't achieve the same goal even though they were in the same society or "social class"… and even not. What I'm trying to say is, these aren't acts against women. I know this because as a woman, I would have fired most of them too. These are just acts of humanity. "Our Customers Don't Want a Pregnant Waitress" isn't sexist or wrong...although it is rude...it's just blatantly stating clear facts. Customers know how pregnancy affects people, if the repeatedly seeing a pregnant woman working just as hard as a completely okay waitress or waiter, they might start to question the work ethics of the restaurant and the health of the woman-especially if she expresses signs of stress/exhaustion/etc-which put the customers on edge and they won't want to call her back if they have a problem with their order, or need refills etc. If the costumers express this behavior, the pregnant woman isn't working nearly as hard as the rest of the staff...does she still deserve equal pay? As a business owner, my answer would be no. You have to understand all aspects, all points of views and just general human nature.

Kittycryt - people who think like you are the reason why women are still discriminated against. And don't think this discrimination is only limited to low wage earners - it's much easier for schools to replace teachers who are pregnant than to work with their pregnancy, too. Ever wonder why women do not hold as many high power positions as men? One of the reasons is childbearing. And by the way, I have been pregnant. While I wouldn't want to wait tables while pregnant, I would if it was my means of supporting myself.

"Have you see how fragile a pregnancy is that even the smallest mistake (e.g. sleeping on the wrong side, eating one "wrong" food, or even bending down incorrectly) can drastically affect a baby in their mother's womb? "
Kittycryt , I'm an obstetrician. That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. I've known women who played softball 7 months pregnant. They didn't run very fast, but they played and their unborn babies didn't suffer.
"Business...it's a dog eat dog world out there. " And that's exactly what's wrong with business.

Personally, my wife and I enjoy eating out where the waiters and waitresses have friendly faces, and are well groomed, regardless of their medical status. When we are served by a friendly, personable waitress who happens to be obviously pregnant, we take the opportunity to congratulate her (we assume she wants to be congratulated unless told otherwise) and let her know that, even though we will miss her on returning while she is on leave, we wish her and her family well. Anything that increases the feeling of HUMANITY in a restaurant, or other business, has a positive effect on sales and thus on profit.
That said, even if an employer truly cannot accommodate a worker who is far along in pregnancy, the employer owes it to the employer (morally, of course, and in SOME cases perhaps legally) to negotiate a reasonable FUTURE date for maternity leave, length of leave, and provisions for return to work if possible, as soon as notified. And a woman's medical situation EARLY in pregnancy is normally not much different from before (assuming she is not working the breakfast shift in a greasy diner). So everyone knows months ahead of time when she is leaving and returning, and the employer has plenty of time to find a temporary replacement.
Basically, seeing an employee's pregnancy as a positive step for her and her family, which allows leave and replacement to be PLANNED, is a win for the business.
Of course, in some cases, a waitress or other employee who was already incompetent, or gave the manager other reasons for firing, may be let go for pregnancy as an excuse (not the young lady in this story, I am sure), but even then it is better to document the shortcomings and give her the real reason. But the "pre-emptive" firing at the first notice of a pregnancy, in case of future things that "might" happen, is just plain wrong. That would be similar to the manufacturing company that was told their workers were exposed to toxins that might cause birth defects, but rather than improve the safety of their procedures, just demanded that fertile female employees had to be STERILIZED or they would be FIRED. The fact that the same toxin, or others that might be present, are not very healthy for women who are NOT pregnant, or for men either, was completely ignored by that company.
Unfortunately, the market rewards cutting corners on safety and mistreatment of workers in the short term, long before companies who do these things are punished by the market, if ever. And unfortunately, managers who try to do the RIGHT thing are punished for costing the company a bit more money, whether by their own bosses or by stockholders, in the short term. And we have developed a business community that prizes short term profits more than long term viability, not to mention standing up morally to do what is right.

kittycrit- a couple things, the first being, it doesn't matter about your "fears", it is still ILLEGAL to fire the employee for becoming pregnant, and honestly more women need to exercise their rights, and make their employers know if they fire them for this reason, they will file suit, not only because they deserve their job, but the rest of the community deserves to know the treatment given to them. Losing a worker for a few weeks is not nearly as bad as losing business to the negative publicity firing a good worker for simply becoming pregnant would be. The bigger issue though is society as a whole needs to stop treating pregnancy like it is some sort of disease. My wife is currently pregnant, and thankfully has a part-time job that has been very accommodating to her during her pregnancy (she is currently in her 7th month) and the only negative has been that it will probably slow her progress towards a full-time position, but hopefully only by a few months until she returns a few weeks after giving birth (she will not even be taking the full 12 weeks, in all honesty she only plans to take 2-3 weeks and then return to work). Not only that, but this is a warehouse job, so there are strenuous activities involved and they have simply not had her carry the heavier boxes (around 20 lbs. or so). Too often however, people focus on what a pregnant women cannot do, rather than the number of things they are fully capable of doing.
The second thing, which strongly ties into the first, is that as a soon-to-be father and being around my pregnant wife, I have a strong sympathy with what they have to deal with from society as a whole. The job she had before (which she left about 6 months before becoming pregnant) was in retail, and she had a female manager who was extremely anti-pregnant. She would not fire pregnant workers, I'm assuming to keep from having legal complaints filed, but she would discriminate against them in other ways, such as scheduling them less, "coaching" them in a different manner than other employees, and generally treating them as below everyone else in the hopes that they would simply quit. I know that when I heard of this behavior, I encouraged my wife to seek new employment, and I will not shop in this "family-friendly" store and have encouraged many others not to as well, because of this treatment. So many businesses claim to be "family-friendly", but in fact are hostile to the very cornerstone of family, pregnancy. Of course I am concerned about the environment that is provided for my children as we are out as a family, but I am also concerned about the environment that is provided for them while they are still being formed. Whenever I hear about a place that treats their pregnant employees this way, I stop patronizing their business, and when it is feasible or appropriate, I will let the manager, owner, or whomever know why I choose to no longer shop at their store, use their service, etc. Unfortunately, it is impossible to be perfect in this, because I know I probably buy items or use a company who in turn uses distributors or companies that discriminate against pregnant women, but where I am aware, it means my wallet is shut to you. Shareholders and corporations may punish managers who are not anti-pregnancy, but if more families would punish corporations who are by not using them, they will sit around wondering where their customers went.
Sorry for the rambling, but this hits a nerve for me, being in my late 20's, and seeing a lot of my friends begin their families as well, and starting a family is precisely when you need more money coming in to prepare for the changes, not hit with a "we're worried something might happen at some point, so even though you show up and do a good job, there's just a little too much going on inside of you for us to let you keep providing for your family."

Your blissful guide to Decorex Cape Town 2013
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Cape Town, the inspirational Mother City and World Design Capital 2014, is once again playing host to South Africa's finest décor, design and lifestyle expo: Decorex Cape Town. The expo takes place from Thursday April 25 to Sunday April 28, 2013.
This must-attend stylish event, themed "Bliss", will be held at the stately Cape Town International Convention Centre and promises to be a feast for the visual and intellectual senses.
In addition to showcasing the latest décor trends, and demonstrations and installations by some of the country's most-celebrated designers and decorators, this year's expo will also feature the delectable Food Market, a gathering of tasty artisan food stalls (think gourmet burgers, meze platters, smoothie and juice bar, and sweet treats ... need I say more?).
With a creative event of this nature, it's easy to become overwhelmed by all on offer, so, if there are just three things you have to absolutely see, let them be:
The Tea Room
Our very own guest writer and Cape Town's resident artist, Lauren Fowler, provides the hand-drawn illustrated backdrop for the quaint Tea Room, a contemporary space with an emphasis on home-made comforts.
If that isn't enough to tempt you to see this spellbinding space, the Tea Room will also have its own milkshake bar ... yummy!
Pop in at Stand M3 for this unusual showcase.
Volvo #MadeforYou Designer Pods
What do you get when you give four of the Cape's hottest interior designers an opportunity to test drive a sleek Volvo and then ask them to interpret this by designing a trendy room that embodies traits of the car? The Volvo #MadeforYou Designer Pods, that's what.
Don't miss the Hall Collection, Space for Life/Skinny laMinx and the Maradadi Interior Design's stunning room designs at Stand Dpod 1-4.
Samsung Inspire Theatre
Expect to be dazzled by an impressive line-up of expert speakers at the Inspire Theatre. Featuring an array of interactive talks, cook-offs, lifestyle demonstrations and more, the Inspire Theatre is sure to be the bustling hotspot at Decorex.

JACKSON (AP) — A Mississippi levee board says it's trying to revive a long-debated federal pump project.
The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners filed notice this week that it will appeal a federal judge's dismissal of the board's lawsuit against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The levee board wanted to move forward with the Yazoo Backwater Project, a proposed pump station to drain wetlands, farmland and forests north of Vicksburg when the Mississippi River is high.
Congress authorized the project in 1941 but didn't fully fund it.
The EPA vetoed the Yazoo pump aspect of the project in 2008, saying it would destroy wetlands, water quality and habitat for threatened species.
The levee board sued in 2009 in U.S. District Court in Greenville, challenging the EPA's authority to block the project.
U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock dismissed the suit March 28, 2011.
Attorneys for the levee board filed notice of intention to appeal this week with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
The levee board's chief engineer, Peter Nimrod, said the proposed pump would lower a 100-year flood by 4 feet, and the project would remove about 60,000 acres from agricultural production so hardwood trees could be planted to increase wetlands.
Nimrod told The Associated Press in March that "there's been a lot of misinformation out there from the environmental community, the extremists" about the project.
The lawsuit claimed EPA's veto of the Yazoo pump project was illegal because the project was approved by Congress before the agency was given veto power under the Clean Water Act in 1977.
EPA officials have said the pump project doesn't meet all the requirements to proceed under the Clean Water Act, regardless of the timing.
The EPA first expressed reservations about the environmental damage associated with the proposed pump project more than 25 years ago. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been against it for more than 50 years.
In her 39-page ruling dismissing the lawsuit, Aycock reviewed the project's history and concluded that "the EPA was not barred from utilizing its ... veto authority" for the project.
Several high-profile Mississippi politicians have supported the Yazoo pump project over the years, including current Republican Gov. Haley Barbour. With the potential or record high Mississippi River levels in May, Barbour said this week that the pump project would have helped the state of Mississippi if it were already in place.
Before the EPA vetoed the project in 2008, a representative of Barbour told EPA officials at a public hearing in Vicksburg that most of the negative comments about the project had come from people who don't live in Mississippi.
Louie Miller, state director for the Sierra Club, said the dismissal of the lawsuit in March was "the final nail in the coffin of one of the most costly and environmentally destructive projects ever contrived."
In November 2010, the Mississippi Wildlife Federation, the National Wildlife Federation and the Environmental Defense Fund joined in the lawsuit, siding with the EPA.

This version of the book is for one child. We also offer a version of the book for two siblings and for twins.
1. Enter the names of the people who love the child exactly as you would like the names to be printed in the book.
2. There are a total of 6 spreads in the book that include names of people who love the child. For example, the first spread reads, Who loves [name of child]? [Person #1] loves [name of child]! How much? So much! More than the mountains, more than the streams, more than a little [boy's/girl's] happiest dreams.
3. If you would like your book to include more than 6 names of people who love the child, you can enter more than one name on some or all of the spreads. If you include more than one person's name for a spread, be sure to
include the word "and" between the names and select "love"
so the copy reads, Aunt Susan and Uncle Mike love [name of child]!
4. We encourage you to list names for all 6 spreads. If you list only 4 people who love the child your book will include only 4 spreads. Here are some ideas to help you complete all 6 spreads: cousins, aunts, uncles, teachers, pets, friends, everyone, God.
Please proof your entries and selections for "love", "loves" or "loved" to make sure your book will be grammatically correct.

I don't think I'll get many arguments when I say Audi has become one of the world's premier luxury car producers. Cars like this super low mileage 2007 S8 Quattro feature an award winning combination of quality, sportiness and attractive design that ages gracefully and retains its value well beyond trade in time. Born from Lamborghini's long history of world class performance, its 5.2 liter V10 engine is akin to a modern day muscle car. Benefitting from parent Volkswagen's history of engineering and innovation, its all-aluminum chassis and pressurized air suspension offer first class ride and handling characteristics. And, as a product of Audi's own technology driven focus, its interior is a packed with a five star level of comfort and convenience that you'd expect to find in a car twice its price. If you're in the market for a low mileage, executive level sports sedan that's virtually perfect in every way, this 2007 S8 Quattro is your car!
Despite being five years old, this 2007 Audi S8 looks like it was purchased just a few months ago and feels like a brand new car in every way. Audi's dedication to high quality and high style is evident on every square inch of the car's body, and its super glossy coat of Quartz Gray Metallic provides a modern, tailored appearance which just oozes top tier luxury. The car's finish is the same stuff that covers the brand's $150,000 R8 super car, and as a result, it's deep, rich, and virtually blemish-free. Its doors open and close like a proverbial bank vault. And its sporty shape does an excellent job of translating its relatively large proportions into a buckled down, agile mid-size performance car appearance. There are no glaring chips on its nose, no road rash behind its wheel wells; and despite its 38,218 miles, the car presents as showroom fresh, with very little evidence of road time at all.
In 2005, Audi began re-engineering its entire portfolio to comply with pending European pedestrian safety standards. And the clean and elegant lines on this 2007 S8 are proof that increased government regulation can sometimes produce some of the best looking designs on the road. At the front of the car, Audi's signature S model single frame, vertical strut grille is centered between adaptive Xenon HID and LED headlights and two wide-set, aggressively sculpted fog lights. Inside that grille, a left-aligned "S8" emblem perfectly complements a large Audi emblem which represents the four marques of Auto Union; and at the sides of that grille, integrated headlight washers ride above small amber marker lights. Behind those marker lights, chrome trimmed door moldings combine the shape of the car's sculpted rocker panels with the class of its chrome trimmed door handles and subtle "V10" fender emblems. And like-new glass, sits between a tinted sunroof, satin finished window trim and classy satin finished rearview mirrors. At the back of the car, familiar Audi tail lights hang between an S model exclusive decklid, a second chrome Audi emblem and a second left-aligned "S8" emblem. And a sculpted, chrome trimmed bumper hangs over spotless quad outlet chrome exhaust tips. Audi has long been revered for their excellent combination of executive luxury and autobahn performance; and this S8, with its excellent proportions and high level of detail is a poster child for why that design focus has been, and continues to be so successful.
Originally developed for Lamborghini, the 5.2 liter V10 under this car's long gray hood is one of the smoothest and most technologically advanced powertrains ever put into a production automobile. Audi's version of the engine utilizes an aluminum block, quad cam aluminum heads, a magnesium alloy intake manifold, alloy throttle bodies, fuel stratified injection, Bosch Motronic ignition, a die-forged steel crank and a dry sump lubrication system to turn killer 12.5 to 1 compression into 444 horsepower and 398 lb./ft. of torque. Driving all four wheels via Audi's famous Quattro all-wheel drive system, this big engine was built for people who want the ultimate combination of hair raising performance, world class luxury and living room style comfort. The result is a car which is amazingly quick off the line and pulls well all the way up to its electronically limited 155 MPH top speed all the while coddling its passengers in a first class travel experience. Forget low horsepower, old school British slugs with their clattering exhaust notes that sound like the muffler is full of marbles; this is a highly sophisticated engine which brings no handicaps to the table and performs with the tenacity of a thoroughbred exotic. And with its super low mileage and excellent maintenance, this awesome V10 has a long, healthy life ahead of it!
This Audi isn't just about going fast in a straight line, either. Underneath the car you'll find Audi's familiar all-aluminum monocoque space frame which is bolted to a multi-link suspension that has been equipped with firmer, S8 specific air struts. Behind the engine, a ZF 6HP Tiptronic Dynamic Shift 6-speed automatic transmission is connected to a Torsen dynamic center differential which transfers power to front and rear hypoid axles to form the basis for Audi's familiar Quattro all-wheel drive system. And that all-wheel drive system is aided at the starting line by a 3.31 final drive ratio; in the turns by Servotronic variable assist power steering; and in traffic by four wheel disc brakes which utilizes dual piston front and single piston rear calipers to clamp giant, radially ventilated rotors. Naturally, this S8 comes with a full array of software which makes even the novice driver feel like a pro. The brakes are aided by a standard anti-lock system, electronic brake assist and electronic brake distribution. And the suspension is augmented by a full electronic stability protection system which includes both an electronic differential lock and anti-slip regulation. At the corners, 20 inch motorsports inspired wheels offer a visual complement to the S8's super slick body. And year-round performance is enhanced with z-rated 265/35 Pirelli P-Zero radials, which show only light wear. This Audi was built to deliver agile handling and a taut European ride that is better than anything this side of a Nurburgring track car. And when you take one spin behind the wheel, you'll say two words: mission accomplished!
Open the car's solid doors and you'll find a leather-lined cocoon of luxury which is both upscale and loaded with options. At the center of the car two tone leather rear buckets feature power adjustment and two-tone leather front buckets feature both heat and power adjustment. At the front of the car, a leather topped dash hangs white needled gauges and an attractive combination of carbon fiber and aluminum trim over a leather wrapped center console which features a metal trimmed shifter and buttons for the car's dual zone climate control. At the bottom of the seats, like-new gray carpet is protected by color keyed floor mats. Above the seats, you'll be pleased to discover a positively massive glass sunroof which is bordered by a high quality gray headliner. And at the sides of the seats, fantastic looking tri-tone leather door panels mix more attractive carbon fiber and aluminum trim with slick speakers for the car's 1000 watt, 14 channel ICEpower Bang and Olufson sound system. In front of the driver a leather wrapped, "S8" branded three spoke steering wheel hangs redundant audio controls in front of small aluminum paddle shifters. Behind the cockpit, and assortment of Bang and Olufson speakers hang over an expansive carpeted cargo area. And of course, everything from the rearview mirror to the spare tire cover is in outstanding condition and displays almost no discernible wear.
Included with the sale of this slick Audi flagship is a set of original books and manuals.
In short, this S8 Quattro is an awful lot of car for the money. And with only 38,218 gently used miles, it still feels as solid as the day it rolled out of the showroom. For people who appreciate the very best of luxury, performance and technology, the S8 is a home run. And this 2007 S8, with its low mileage, vast array of options and asking price that is roughly half of what it cost new, is a grand slam!

I have a large wrist. How big is the band?
- Asked by Andrew K from Wake Forest
HEX Vision Metal Watchband for iPod nano (6th Gen.)
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
I have a wrist that is on the smaller side & had to have 2 links removed. The band is now 6" long, from pin to pin connectors. Each link added would add aprox 3/8' extra length. The locking clasp do not have any adjustments (most locking clasps doe allow some adjustment). If possible try it on at a Apple store or order wher you would be able to return it. The other option would be to order the plastic band. My brother in law has the black one & it also has a cool look. Hope this helps.
Love my iPod Nano w/watch band & still get lots of comments on it.

Naples : Michelin's recommendations
Nestling in the magnificent bay overlooked by Vesuvius, the legendary city of the siren Parthenope was founded by the Greeks. In the course of its 3 000 years of history, Naples has been invaded on countless occasions and yet has never completely succumbed to its invaders. Home to fine museums and works of art, the city's architecture is a blend of Greek walls, Roman columns, Baroque palaces and 19C monuments, all of which help to create a complex city which is rich in history, art and culture.

If you've watched an ice hockey game, you know how much stamina it takes. In seconds, players fly from one end of the ice to the other. It's a series of sprints and battles with the opposing team, all in search of one little puck.
In other words, not a game you want to play with no fuel in your tank. U.S. Hockey Team member Angela Ruggiero knows that and pays close attention to what she eats, when she eats, and how much she eats.
Her four Olympic appearances have resulted in three medals: a bronze, two silvers, and a gold. She won her most recent silver medal in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Before she left for those games, we talked to Angela and her performance nutritionist Megan Mangano. Mangano, who's also a registered dietitian, makes it easy (and tasty) for athletes to bring out their very best game-day performance. Even if you're not headed to the Olympics (yet), what you eat and drink can help make you faster, stronger, and less likely to run out of steam, Mangano said.
It all starts with taking extra special care of your body.
"I tell athletes to treat their bodies like their dream car." Mangano said. "You'd only put premium fuel in there and you'd never leave home without fuel in the tank."
Ruggiero already had a pretty healthy diet, but Mangano has encouraged her to eat an even wider variety of healthy foods. More variety means more varied nutrients. She also urges athletes to "eat three for three." That means athletes should eat frequent small meals and snacks that contain these three elements:
Before you say, "Hey, that's complicated!" Mangano points out that you can "eat three" with an apple and a small portion of peanuts or half a peanut butter sandwich on whole-grain bread.
And that type of snack is the perfect packable if you know you'll be staying after school for sports practice. You don't want to be all weary from a whole day of school and hungry because lunch was hours ago!
Let's hear what Ruggiero had to say about how healthy food helps her do her best on the ice:
Puffins cereal, non-fat cottage cheese with jelly, turkey on wheat bread.
A whole-grain bagel with peanut butter and banana, Lara Bars.
Chocolate milk, trail mix, fruit in a protein shake.
I love ice cream, but limit it to about a pint a month. I also love Coke, but moderation is key.
Yes, as an adult I have come to realize that you have to treat your body well if you want it to perform and function well for you. I try to only feed it healthy, non-processed foods as much as I can.
Timing is also important so I make sure I am feeding myself 5-6 times a day. I allow myself to eat what I want, but try to eat healthy the majority of the time so that I can not only feel great, but also play to the absolute best of my ability.
Make sure you're eating enough when you're hungry and drinking as much water as possible. Try to stay away from anything that is packaged and instead turn to whole foods such as fruits and veggies. Eat enough carbs and protein for your body weight.
Finally, moderation is key. You can indulge in just about anything, but try to stay on-track the majority of time so that your workouts are not wasted when you get to the lunch table.
Meg was an AMAZING nutritionist. I have significantly changed my intake of foods to help create more variety with foods that make me feel even better. I have found many alternatives in my diet that are providing me with a wider range of nutrients and vitamins. I think I was caught up in buying the same healthy foods and ignoring many others that would help me.
I eat more of a variety of whole grains and brown rice now, and have also increased my lean proteins. On game days, I stay away from filling up the big salad plate that I used to make for my pre-game meal and instead turn to carbs with a little protein so that I have energy throughout the entire game.
Meals are another chance to get "three for three." Here's a super salad that Mangano cooks up herself and recommends to her athlete clients:

Proctor mansion stands empty after sale voidedBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | July 10,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The former Redfield Proctor Jr. estate was sold for $437,500 at auction last summer, but a court settlement has voided the sale.PROCTOR Eleven months after the grand Proctor mansion sold at auction, the venerable estate stands empty and its future is anything but clear.
The brick colonial revival estate on Ormsbee Avenue, built in 1915 by Redfield Proctor Jr., sold at auction Aug. 6, 2013, for $437,500 to Puneet and Christine Rikhy.
The Virginia couple closed on the property a month later and had begun cleaning and repairing parts of the estate when Puneet Rikhy said he and his wife had a rude discovery.
We learned there was a reverse mortgage on the property and that the funds from the sale were insufficient to pay the balance, he said in a phone interview this week.
In fact, the $437,500 the couple paid at auction didnt cover half of the $993,421 that former owners David and Madelin Boots owed to a reverse mortgage company in Seattle, Wash., according to records in Rutland civil court.
The discovery began a legal fight that lasted until the end of February, when a court settlement canceled the sale.
During the months that the case was in court, Rikhy said the purchase price, which he paid in cash, was tied up in an escrow account. In addition, the couple paid $40,000 for the mansions furnishings and replaced most of it after the August auction.
Quite frankly, what was in the home wasnt worth $40,000, he said. We threw almost all of it out.
Staff at the Proctor town clerks office said the Rikhys new furnishings are gone either taken by the Boots, who live on a macadamia farm in Hawaii or sold at an auction last month.
The complaint about overpaying for the furniture was not part of the court action, however.
The Rikhys also put money into cleaning and maintenance, he said, and paid to repair a heating system that was inoperable.
Many of those expenses were never recovered. The couple vacated the property after having spent only three nights in the home.
The mansion now stands empty with chains blocking the both entrances to the semicircular driveway.
The court settlement reverted ownership of the estate to the Boots who couldnt be reached by cellphone or through their Rutland lawyer, Victor Segale, this week.
But officials in the Proctor town clerks office who spoke with David Boots before the furniture auction last month said the owner planned to walk away from the property.
For Rikhy, who said he was still out $20,000 after the legal settlement, the loss of the historic property hurt as much as the financial impact.
I really loved that house and had been trying to buy it for five years, he said.
He produced a 2010 email showing the Boots rejected his $750,000 offer for the property.
It was the weirdest set of circumstances in a real estate transaction that Ive ever had, Rikhy said.

The more advanced
we made it, the funner it got.
Fun was built into every millimeter of the thinnest, lightest iPod touch. It does more than ever, more powerfully than ever, from playing games to playing music to just playing around. And everything looks tremendous on the 4-inch Retina display.
It's the thinnest, lightest iPod touch ever.
For the first time, iPod touch is made from the same kind of anodized aluminum used in the MacBook line. And it's made the same way too: By machining the enclosure from a single piece of aluminum. The first thing you'll notice about iPod touch is its barely-there weight. Then its supersmooth finish. Then all those Apple details — like the highly polished beveled edges. And iPod touch is made from one of the strongest grades of aluminum there is. Which means that it not only looks and feels incredible, it's tough enough to tag along on more than a few nights out.
iPod touch doesn't just come in color. It's practically made of color.
There's a reason these iPod touch colors are so incredibly rich and vibrant. It's because they're bonded right to the aluminum — not just painted on the surface. So you see saturated color that still lets the luster of the metal shine through. Which gives you a material that shows off the color, and a color that shows off the material.
One hand rules the screen.
The Retina display is tall but not wide. That means everything you do on iPod touch can be a one‑handed operation, and your thumb has room to roam. The display is advanced, with finger‑friendly Multi‑Touch technology built into the glass instead of beneath it. So less gets between you and your games, music, messages — whatever you love to see and do.
Keep fun close at hand.
The iPod touch loop is a colorful way to keep your iPod touch at the ready.* That's perfect for when you want to shoot from a hard-to-reach camera angle (and don't want to risk it falling out of your hand). Flip iPod touch up to type a quick iMessage. Or just sport it when you're pocketless. The loop also keeps your iPod touch safe, so you don't have to worry about a slip, fumble, drop, or overzealous robot dance.
The new shape of sound.
Creating one-earbud-fits-all headphones is a challenge. That's because everyone's ears are different. So when Apple engineers were designing the EarPods, they didn't start with the speaker, they started with the ear. Unlike traditional circular earbuds, the design of the Apple EarPods is based on the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other earbud-style headphones.
But they're not just designed for the perfect fit. They're designed for the perfect sound, too. You'll hear deeper, richer bass and better audio all around. And they're incredibly stable in your ear. Which means they stay in, even when you're out and about.Watch the EarPods video
Designed with the environment in mind.
Good design takes into account environmental impact. That's why nearly every Apple product — including iPod touch — is made from highly recyclable materials like aluminum. iPod touch is also free of toxic materials such as lead, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and uses arsenic-free glass for its mercury-free display. In fact, reducing toxins is so important to us that we even disassemble products and test all their components in our Cupertino lab to make sure our suppliers meet our environmental standards.
