So I'm looking at these:
And this:
Now, let's look at these systems.
- The 150L system would generate about 2.9SREC; the 300L might generate over 5 (maximum)
- Federal 30% rebate, state 20% rebate, taxable, gives about a 35% total savings on these systems.
- I'd spend around $500/year normally on water heating (I spend $40/mo on gas and that's basically all I use it for)
SREC in MD float around $190-$280 on the market. Without a SREC, businesses have to pay 40 cents per kWh for energy in certain conditions, so the value of a SREC is less than $400. Basically the hot water system generates about 2.9MWh per year, and I can sell that offset. A bigger system generates more, but the state caps residential installations at 5SREC from solar hot water.
If I did put in a big system, I'd also put in radiator heating. I'd run a plate exchanger to the radiator boiler tank, supplementing gas. I'd put an expansion tank on the boiler, but also have an extra thermal switch to shut off the loop going to the boiler (there's already one on the solar hot water system, it's required or it overheats the tank). A bigger system has additional tubes for more collection; in the winter there is less sun, but I would offset some of my house heating costs (I usually space heat, but this would give me an incentive to switch).
Finally, a $1000 tankless heater driven by natural gas could be used. Solar hot water tank has a gas backup; disable that. Run the solar hot water output to a thermostatic mixing valve--this is standard, it mixes cold water in to regulate temperature, so if your hot water is over 140F it brings it down. Set the valve to 140F or lower; set the tankless heater to that value as well (they max at 140F generally). Run the hot water output from the thermostatic mixing valve into the cold water input of the tankless heater. You'll never burn gas when you run the tank down, never burn gas when the sun isn't out and the tank cools, EXCEPT if you actually turn on the hot tap while the tank's cool. The cooler the tank, the more gas you burn; if the tank's 120F and your hot water is 140F, you only have to raise it 20 degrees rather than (say) 88 or so.
All in all, the ROI on a solar water heating system would basically be 1 year? Then I'd make about $700/year just for having it. It'd be about 2 years if I tacked on a tankless heater, but I'd have absolute hot water stability (the tank losing temperature isn't going to cool my hot water) and wouldn't burn gas just to idle the tank if there's not enough sunlight.
On top of that, photovoltaic 3kW array is like $10,000? SRECs aren't capped for PV in MD. You only get SREC if you have a synchronous inverter: any extra capacity you don't use goes back on the grid. MD credits you for raising the available solar energy, which you can consume yourself in lieu of grid energy OR put back on the grid for others to consume.
a 3kW array at 10 hours of sunlight per day (16 in the summer down to like 8 in the winter, it's a crude guess) would generate some 10-11 megawatt hours per year, 10-11 SREC. You'd get like $2000-$3000 based on market forces. So like, 4 years to pay off a solar array?
In the end you'd be making over $5000/year and saving nearly as much in utility costs.
Seriously? When the hell did this happen?

Russell Armstrong's Suicide: Fellow Housewives React
The apparent Monday night suicide of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Russell Armstrong has devastated the Bravo community.
The estranged husband of Taylor Armstrong was just 47 years old, and leaves behind daughter Kennedy; the LAPD confirmed to Us that Armstrong hanged himself in his L.A. area home, and was discovered Monday evening.
PHOTOS: Look back on the first season of RHOBH
A spokesperson for Bravo said in a statement: "All of us at Bravo are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Our sympathy and thoughts are with the Armstrong family at this difficult time."
Armstrong's close friend and castmate Adrienne Maloof tweeted: "My heart goes out to @TaylorArmstrong and Kennedy during this devastating time. You will be in my thoughts and in prayers."
"I am so very sad about today's news," Bravo's Andy Cohen tweeted. "My prayers and thoughts are with Taylor Armstrong and her family.
VIDEO: Taylor opens up about marital struggles on the show
"That's unbelievably awful," Real Housewives of New York's Alex and Simon McCord told Us Weekly. "[We] hadn't heard yet. Our hearts go out to the family."
"It's terrible!" McCord's castmate Ramona Singer told Us. "I've met Taylor, she's very sweet."
She added of the the late Armstrong: "It's a shame, it's a shame for his child and it's a shame for his wife. It's very sad when anyone takes their life. Someone has to be in so much pain to take their life, I can't even imagine what kind of pain."
Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Danielle Staub tweeted: "Love and prayers to you and your family -- I pray your privacy will be respected in this great time of need!"
Added Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes: "My dear friend! My heart goes out 2 u! I'am here 4 u."

In a valley full of soupy mud, wardrobe malfunctions and missing teeth, Scott Irving could only shake his head and laugh from his food truck overlooking the Redneck Rally at Three Sisters Park on Saturday.
"It's a different world here," said Irving, a Chillicothe resident.
Catering to the pure spectacle of hillbillies roaming around the park in an assortment of denim clothing and often covered in mud, Irving named his food truck "GrillBilliez" and added a design of a smiling face that had its own share of dental woes.
"We figured it would fit right in," Irving joked.
This weekend marked the first Redneck Rally at Three Sisters Park but not the first iteration of the backwoods event in the Peoria area. Lauren Blasek, a committee member for the rally, said a group of friends used to meet in Peoria and create redneck-themed events.
"The neighbors enjoyed it for the first couple years," Blasek said. "Then 100 people started showing up."
With more people raving about the small redneck gathering every year, Blasek teamed up with Jack Morganstern, events and grounds supervisor at Three Sisters, to start a full-blown weekend festival with camping, games and music.
Morganstern had an eye on resurrecting motorsports at the park, which brought monster trucks and racing into the fold.
But the real showstoppers are the variety of redneck games peppered throughout each day with nary a hint of shame. The Daisy Duke look-a-like contest wasn't judged purely on wardrobe choices, the Belching Mating Call contest favored the well-served, and the Mud Bog Dash saw feats of athleticism from the otherwise unathletic. And no redneck summit is complete without a wet T-shirt contest.
A steady flow of rednecks stayed at the mud volleyball courts, where diving for a ball resulted in combating the oppressive heat. Derick Manson of Melvin, Ill., had only played volleyball once in his life but finished the afternoon with only his full set of teeth not caked in mud.
"I was sweating bullets before, but I'm not hot now," said Manson as he meandered over to the Daisy Duke contest.

New research provides foundation to look at protecting mountain lions, particularly when it comes to Highway 17
An adult male mountain lion called simply "Number 16" by the Santa Cruz Puma Project led a scientifically interesting life for the more than two-year period he was tracked by the UC Santa Cruz-based research project.
According to Chris Wilmers, associate professor of environmental studies at UCSC and head of the Puma Project, the group initially caught and collared Number 16 in Loch Lomond. He then proceeded to cross Highway 17 several times, where he was eventually was hit, but survived. In an unusual move for an adult male, Number 16 then shifted his home range to the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. Recently, the lion's tracking collar went on "mortality mode." The day before Wilmers spoke to Good Times, the researchers found his skeleton.

DS seems to wake up quite a bit in the night due to his dreams. Most of the times his dreams do not sound that scary(no monsters), but are typically an extension of things that might have upset him during the course of the day(like someone not sharing his toy, or he not getting what he wanted).
Last night, he woke up sobbing, saying he lost a quiz to his cousin! Whew! I turned the lights on, told him it was a dream, gave him a glass of water, and asked him to go back to sleep. Despite waking up completely, he continued to sob for the next 15 minutes, hating that he lost to his cousin in the dream! He could separate reality from dream, but was very disturbed on how he could have lost! To make matters worst, I was the quiz master, and he hated me for congratulating the winner.
All this waking up, crying in the night, asking me to interfere and fix up his dream is turning into a nightmare for me!
Is this just a growing up phase for 4 year olds, or is there more into it that needs a doctors intervention? If any of you has any experience like this, please share.

Nowadays there are so many ways to stay connected. Never before have there been so many methods to gather information and figure out what's going on in the world around us. Technology has made the entire world a smaller place. We are able to be informed about worldwide events within seconds. Although newspapers are the classic way to receive the scoop on local, national, and worldwide events, the world has evolved much past that. Today there are tons of different ways and sources to get your news.
The internet is now the most popular way to receive news among this new generation. The internet lays the entire world at your feet. There are countless websites out there that are specifically for giving you the news. Most news channels have their own personal websites. There are newspapers that also post their articles online. There are even newspapers and journals that are found online. The internet is a lot of fun but it is also a breeding ground for information. News is uploaded to the internet and spread around the world within seconds. The internet is current and new information is posted daily.
Before the internet, television was the primary way more and more people received information. In this day and age turning on the television and watching the news is an everyday thing. Television is a diverse, quick, and convenient way to get information. New channels are far from rare. There are plenty of options that offer plenty of different point of views on hot topics. News channels and their staff work hard to make the news as up to date, accurate, and easy to understand as they can. It can be anything from the weather to traffic to political issues.
For those who are on the go, all of these avenues can be connected to your cell phone. Smart phones these days are jam-packed with apps and tools that are designed to get you all the information you can ever need. Moreover, you are able to download all of your favorite apps. Today there really is an app for everything. Most television news networks, blogs or newspapers have apps that make news available on your phone. So anywhere you go you can access whatever info you need.
If you think about it, with all the resources we have today, there really is no excuse for being uninformed. There is a world out there that we finally have the means to access. We just have to take the first step and look.

10 Years Ago
By Ellen Probert Williamson
We cannot really know what was the first spice known and used by humans, but most authorities on the subject agree that it most probably was cassia or, as it is now known, Chinese cinnamon bark.
Ancient records have proven it was used before 2700 B.C. It is still one of the most important and most widely used of spices today.
The Men of Tomorrow program kickoff meeting will be at 3 p.m. Sept. 18 in B&W Y-12 New Hope Center at 601 Scarboro Road, Oak Ridge.
This meeting marks the 22nd year of the program, which aims to encourage grades 6-12 in growth of self-image, academic achievement and cultural development.
Participation is open to any student, regardless of race, color, or creed. The program is a 501(c)3 organization under the Men of Tomorrow Foundation and is free to all participants.
Rockwood Public Library recently celebrated the end of its summer reading program.
Kingston Lions Club's annual Moonlight for Sight 5k run and walk along the Kingston riverfront is planned for the evening of Oct. 1.
The event at Fort Southwest Point is the organization's second fundraiser of the year.
Walkers will start at 8:30 p.m., with runners following at 9.
A certified race timer will be on hand, and prizes will be awarded in all age categories,
Participants will receive a T-shirt. Refreshments and door prizes will follow the event.
David and Melinda Barnes of Harriman announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Krista Barnes, to Tim Fink.

Angelina Jolie joins G-8 to urge end to sexual violence
LONDON (AP) — Angelina Jolie brought her celebrity wattage to London on Thursday to back an urgent cause: fighting sexual violence in military conflicts.
The Hollywood star joined British Foreign Secretary William Hague in announcing $36 million in additional funding from G-8 nations to go toward a series of measures for preventing sexual violence and ensuring justice for its survivors.
For too long, Jolie said, survivors of sexual violence have been "the forgotten victims" of wars in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere.
"Today, I believe that their voices have been heard," she said alongside Hague, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and others at a meeting of foreign ministers from G-8 nations.
The British foreign secretary called sexual violence in conflict "one of the greatest and most persistent injustices" in the world and said the time had come to eradicate the scourge of rape in war.
"This in my mind is the slave trade of our generation," Hague said. "Now that we have put war-zone rape on the international agenda, it must never slip off it again and it must be given even greater prominence."
He said the G-8 ministers meeting in London have made the "historic" declaration that rape and serious sexual violence in conflicts constitute war crimes and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions — putting responsibility on nations to search for and prosecute anyone accused of such crimes.
Jolie, who serves as a special envoy for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, welcomed the "long overdue stand" on sexual violence, saying that for too long international political will to prevent it has been "sorely lacking."
Sexual violence has been used as a weapon of war in several conflicts, including in Syria, Libya, Bosnia and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Hague said some funding will go toward training military personnel on how to respond to sexual violence, since they are often the first to encounter survivors.
Ministers also pledged to set out international standards for the investigation of rape and sexual violence, as well as to ensure there is no amnesty for sexual violence in peace agreements.

The Charleston Daily Mail is endorsing Republican John Raese over Democrat Joe Manchin. It's a "painful choice," says the editorial. "Gov. Joe Manchin is one of the most engaging and effective governors in the state's history. He has tackled many of the state-erected barriers to economic growth - a broken workers' compensation system, uncompetitive tax rates, an unfair legal climate." But: "Leading Democrats have made it clear that if Manchin were sent to Washington, he would be expected to function as part of the team." So the Daily Mail editors say they're left no choice but to endorse Raese, a "level-headed conservative who knows what works and what doesn't."
A new FOX News poll shows Raese leading Manchin 48% to 45%, though Manchin continues to be much more popular than Raese. The governor's favorable rating is 69% (unfavorable rating 24%), while the Republican's favorable rating is only 40% (unfavorable rating 44%). But only 27% of West Virginia voters approve of the job President Obama is doing. During last night's one and only debate of the West Virginia Senate race, Raese tried to get to the right of the gun-toting Gov. Joe Manchin on Obamacare by calling it "pure unadulterated socialism." RCP's Scott Conroy reports:
Raese delivered one of the night's most memorable lines when the topic of health care reform was raised.
"I'd like to repeal every part of it because it is pure unadulterated socialism," Raese said. "It is the worst bill that has ever come out of the United States Senate and House."
Manchin has previously stated that he would like to repeal parts of the health care law, but he stressed in the debate that some aspects of the legislation were important to keep, such as the prohibition on insurers from denying coverage to people who have pre-existing conditions.
"There's a lot of good in the bill that Democrats and Republicans can agree on," Manchin said.

Sweett Group (CSG) - Sweett Group strengthens foothold in Saudi Arabia RNS Number : 7590Q Sweett Group PLC 12 November 2012 12 November 2012 Sweett Group plc ("Sweett Group" or "the Group") Sweett Group strengthens foothold in Saudi Arabia Sweett Group, the international property and infrastructure consultancy, has strengthened its foothold in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with two new commissions at the 3.5km^2 King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh. The move is the latest step in the Group's strategy to capitalise on the Kingdom's buoyant construction market as it looks to diversify its presence across the Middle East. Providing a full range of cost management services, Sweett Group is supporting Germany-based architect Gerber Architekten to deliver two unique public attractions in the heart of the KAFD, the Info.HUB and Butterfly Dome. Info.HUB is KAFD's primary tourist attraction and includes a library, media activity rooms, tourist information area, exhibition space and other community facilities totalling a built-up area of 44,000m^2. The building has been uniquely designed as a contemporary interpretation of a desert mushroom. The Butterfly Dome, with its spherical envelope designed to provide the optimal internal environment for the world's most exotic butterfly species, will offer visitors a calm retreat from the hustle and bustle of the financial district. The two commissions are the latest of Sweett Group's expanding portfolio within KAFD in addition to other current projects which include the iconic Capital Market Authority (CMA) tower, Museum of the Built Environment, Men's and Women's Spa and three mixed use towers. Acting as the project and cost manager on the prestigious CMA tower since its inception, Sweet Group's project team has been managing the challenges of delivering the tallest structure in Riyadh and focal point of KAFD, which will house the headquarters for the regulator of the Saudi Arabian stock market. Spencer Wylie, Director of Cost Management, MENA, said: "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of our key strategic focus areas as we look to strengthen our position and service offering in the region. These further commissions within the King Abdullah Financial District in support of Gerber Architekten, who are producing some very exciting architecture, are testament to our strong incumbent project and cost management teams already delivering high profile schemes in and around Riyadh." - Ends - For further information: Sweett Group plc Chris Goscomb, Chief Financial Officer +44 20 7061 9000 Theo Kjellberg, Group Communications Manager +44 20 7061 9102 Dima Qumsieh, Regional Marketing Manager+971 4 329 5755 FTI Consulting Billy Clegg, Oliver Winters, Latika Shah +44 20 7831 3113 About Sweett Group Sweett Group plc is a global business with expertise in property and infrastructure professional services.

Dwarf Seahorses do not eat food like a normal goldfish. You can't go to your local store and buy fish flakes or fish pellets to feed your Dwarf Seahorses. If you do, they will starve to death and die. All seahorses eat live food in their wild habitat, and they also will need to eat live food while living at home in your aquarium.
Your Dwarf Seahorses need to be fed on a diet of live shrimp, specifically brine shrimp. Brine shrimp eggs can be bought on many stores online, plus also can be bought in local pet stores. You probably won't find them being sold in a Walmart, they need to be bought at a pet store. Most pet stores sell brine shrimp eggs.
The Dwarf Seahorse will not actually eat the eggs, but the little shrimps that in inside of the eggs. It is a good idea for you not to directly put the eggs into your aquarium. The eggs will create a mess, and your tank will need to be cleaned out often. Instead, use a separate container to hatch the eggs in.
Brine shrimp are saltwater creatures, so the water you put the eggs in, needs to be saltwater. You can use the same salt you use for your Dwarf Seahorse tank. When you do water changes that are required for a Dwarf Seahorse tank, save this water in a jug for use in hatching your brine shrimp eggs.
Most pet stores that sell the brine shrimp eggs, will also sell a small brine shrimp net. You will also need one of these in your hatchery that you set up. You will also need a turkey baster to get out the live shrimp from your separate hatching container. Once you put brine shrimp eggs in the container, they will hatch 24 hours later.
Brine shrimp are at their highest nutrition value when they are newly hatched. Take the turkey baster and get as many live little shrimps that you can. Avoid getting the brown eggs in your turkey baster, you just want to get the brine shrimp only. Now with the turkey baster, put the water in it through the brine shrimp net you bought.
Now take the brine shrimp net, and put it inside of your Dwarf Seahorse tank. Your shrimps will start swimming around in the aquarium, giving your Dwarf Seahorses a good meal. You don't want to put the brine shrimp in directly through the turkey baster. Why not? You will be adding more saltwater into the tank if you do.
This will cause the salt gravity of your tank to rise rapidly if you keep feeding them with the brine shrimp, and the water they are in. You need to strain the shrimp through a brine shrimp net first, then add them to the tank. This is what to feed your Dwarf Seahorse pets when you have them in a home aquarium.

Thank you for sharing some valuable information on dwarf sea-horses. I just learned something new today. The brine shrimp seems like a very clever idea for hatching.

I was on a 3 hour journey with a friend. We were talking and I didn't notice our exit from the French motorway until we had gone 60kms too far. It was a 4 hour journey!
We went to the Savill garden in April. It poured but they lent us 2 big umbrellas. We were the only people in the garden. I enjoyed it, but I'm probably a bit garden bonkers!
No, OL, you didn't, you didn't say anything to offend me. I'm sure I'd like you in real life. I've met 6 people from forums now and liked all of them.
DD saw you were thinking of rotovators. I have a Honda, it's light and manageable and easy to start. I'm not usually good with pull cords. Not that cheap, but worth it. No, I don't work for them!
Morning all.
Thanks for the PM, Dove, expect you've found the reply.
Which garden are you visiting DD?
Thank you for saying I seem lovely OL, but "seem" ?!!
Have a lovely day at Great Comp, Scroggin. Wish I could come, I've never been there.
Bekkie, I always talk to myself in supermarkets. Seems a normal thing to do. I talk to food while cooking it and tell it off for burning or taking too long.
OL, I think the person concerned was only trying to be helpful, don't think he meant it to come over in that way. We are all different, ages, characters, walks of life that sometimes there are bound to be conflicts especially with the written word. He'd had a tough early life and has found happiness in retirement.
I've had a very quiet day, should have gardened, didn't, but it did rain some of the time.
Smokin Donkey didn't mean to cause offense. Please can we leave it there and tell each other about what he asked in the first place - how we started gardening.
I think violas and pansies are perfect for that. They come in lots of colours and you can buy plug plants from catalogues, not expensive. They will last until June. Also those pompom pink and white bedding daisies, primulas and coloured primroses.
Glad I have a tumble dryer with all the bedding and towels I'm washing after the family's visit. Makes the towels fluffy, nearly out of fabric softener as the family used most of my new bottle. Don't put our clothes in it though, not since it shrank a favourite top.

33 year old woman | Dubuque, IA, United States | Seeking men 29-37 within 50 miles
You only live once!
I am a very outgoing, independent and social woman. I love meeting new and like minded people. I'm always up for a good time. I'm very caring, funny and cute. I have a lot of energy and am very entertaining and talkative. I love to be spoiled by my man but enjoy returning the favor. I am a romantic at heart and loved being swept off my feet. I have a lust for great food, great friends and great adventures. I love to have fun in the moment and am always dreaming bigger! Friends and family are super important to me. Dislikes: calories, bugs/spiders, dishonesty, seafood, black licorice (and anything that tastes like it), eye rolls, coconut, tactlessness, juggalos, coffee, doing dishes, and the price of gas. I am Really Good At: laughing, genuinely, even at the stupid jokes. cooking, but not doing the dishes. hugging, and making others feel better. sleeping, like a rock. wearing my heart on my sleeve, though sometimes I wish I wasn't so good at it. I spend a Lot of Time Thinking About: kissing. do me and my profile match? (I'm told the answer is yes.) cooking. family. how come you keep lookin' at my profile but you don't message me? the order of my netflix queue. what to put on my kindle next. where to go on my next day trip or vacation You Should Message Me If: you believe in love and romance (aka you're a total, fucking hopeless romantic too). you think that your already-pretty-great life is better when shared with someone, and you're ready to find that someone now-ish. you're as likely (and as happy) to spend Sunday lazying away in bed as you are to be playing games and enjoying the outdoors, but no matter what you do, there will be brunch. you want to teach me how to do something I've never done before.
Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Middle of the Road
I love to cook and bake, I am always on the look-out for new recipes. Currently I am addicted to documentaries on Netflix but will pretty much watch anything (grew up watching a lot of John Wayne with my dad). I love to try new restaurants!
Anything by Kathleen Brooks, Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter.. I will pretty much read anything!

And we are definitely not fans of the navigation system interface. Manually entering an address is tedious, and voice command only lets you choose preprogrammed addresses. Using the MMI dial to select the letters of a street or city name is like using an old rotary phone to dial numbers.
Using the MMI to select music from an iPod is better, although it could be a problem if you have a lot of different artists and albums, requiring a lot of scrolling. The iPod port is in the glovebox--we would prefer it in the console, as it's kind of a stretch for the driver to plug it in. Other audio sources include satellite radio and an MP3-capable CD player.
Music plays through a Bose audio system which uses 13 speakers and an eight-channel amp. The sound quality is excellent, with crisp and distinct highs that let you hear the most delicate instruments. Bass isn't overwhelming, but strong enough for good music reproduction. Our only complaint about this system is that the digital signal processor lets you turn on surround sound for either the front or rear seats, but not all at once.
The MMI and the voice command system control paired Bluetooth mobile phones. You can use the rotary dial to select each number, or the voice command system to speak the numbers. More conveniently, you can choose entries from the phone's contact list right on the car's screen.
Another stand-out piece of tech from Audi is the rearview camera, which includes overlays that give an idea of the distance between the car and obstacles. It also shows lines that curve as you turn the wheel, showing the path the car will take. One other feature available for the A6, but not present on our car, is called Side Assist, a blind spot detection system that warns of cars in the lanes next to the A6.
Under the hood
Audi points out that the T appended to its engine displacement number now includes superchargers, widening the previous meaning, which only extended to turbos. The 2009 Audi A6 3.0T is one of the first cars to use this new powerplant, based on a new direct injection 3-liter engine from Audi. The supercharger components themselves are very compact, and nestle between the cylinder heads of the V-6.
The supercharged V-6 gives the A6 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. That's 45 more horsepower than the bottom line A6 powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter V-6. Audi also claims 0 to 60 mph acceleration for the A6 3.0T of 5.9 seconds, a full second faster than the lower-end A6. But EPA fuel economy numbers are almost identical, with the A6 3.0T getting 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. During our time with the car, we saw fuel economy hang around 21 mpg for mixed city and freeway driving. Extra performance at no cost--we like it.
The A6 3.0T is also equipped with the latest generation of Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which we last tested in the Audi A4. This system sends 60 percent of the torque to the rear wheels by default, but shifts the torque percentages front and back, depending on which end needs the power.
Unfortunately, you can't get the air suspension or Audi's magnetic ride technology on the A6 3.0T. There is a suspension upgrade available as part of a sport package, but it relies on mechanical components to stiffen the ride. We would opt for that package, as our A6 showed some roll while cornering.
The six-speed-automatic transmission has three modes: one for normal driving, sport, and manual shift. We were impressed by the sport mode's willingness to downshift aggressively.
In sum
Audi asks a premium price for the 2009 A6 3.0T, at $50,100. Our only option was the $5,100 Prestige package, bringing in tech such as the navigation system, Bose audio, LED running lights, adaptive headlights, and the rearview camera. The total price for our car, with destination, came to $56,025.
The A6 3.0T earns high ratings for its performance and cabin tech. We particularly like Audi's use of supercharger technology, giving the car a strong horsepower figure from a relatively small engine. However, the transmission seems as if it could use some programming work to keep it from gear hunting. The cabin tech is primarily marred by the antiquated navigation system, something that will be fixed in the next model year. Design is where the A6 falls down further. First of all, the MMI could really be improved, similar to how BMW fixed iDrive. The car itself is only really distinguishable from the front, making it look like yet another European sedan.

Liked it a lot when I saw the picture and ordered it. Loved it when I received it! It is a great quality, great looking jacket.
Awesome Deal!by VICKIE
Just got my jacket and it's awesome! Ordered a medium and it was perfect!
Good Valueby R. LAMB - verified purchaser
This is a very reasonably priced jacket and I am pleased with what I received. I drive a scooter and the "armour" is good enough for my top speed that is not going to break any sound barriers BUT it you ride a motorcycle the armour is not Kevlar or anything more than very high density foam and will not protect at high speed. Good value for what you pay but not high speed protection.
Love it, just two small for a my plus size selfby Lulu - verified purchaser
LOVE the design. however I am a plus size womana and figured I would order a 3xl and thanks to my boobs. this beautiful jacket doesnt fit. So I have to wait until a larger size is available.. :( In the meantime I will look for something else.
3 Ring Leather Jacketby Steph - verified purchaser
The zipper is constantly hung up and very hard to work. Nice but zipper is a big drag.
Good Jacketby J Walters - verified purchaser
Ordered size larger based on reviews. Glad I did! I am on the bustier side so it fits pretty well. If you are average in the bust and shoulders it's true to size. My only complaint is the zipper is so stiff it keeps catching on the fabric. Am going to try graphite to see if that improves. Overall it is a great buy for the price.
LOVED IT!by Nancy G-H - verified purchaser
What a great jacket for the price. BUT, i wear a size 18-20 and a 2XL did not fit. They didn't have a larger size available. I was extremely disappointed. But, really liked the jacket.
Wife Likes Itby Chuck H. - verified purchaser
Had to get a 2XL. She has a 38 in chest. but it was pretty snug. We returned it for a 2xl and it fit much better. The side laces make for a nice fit. For the price you cant beat it. Im not sure what the 4 eyelets are for on the cuffs.
Ladies 3-Ring Motorcycle Jacketby Kim - verified purchaser
Great jacket, very comfortable. Arrived quicker than expected.
Women's 3-Rings Motorcycle Jacketby Kelly - verified purchaser
I am very please with this purchase. The price was great compared to all the other jackets with the same features or less. It looks very cool but still makes me feel like I have some protection. The velcro rings allow me to keep the jacket unzipped if it is really warm and still secure the jacket around me.
Ladies Biker Jacketby Ante - verified purchaser
Jacket is good, size is perfect.
Womens Leather Jacketby Tim - verified purchaser
She looks really good in it! Looks better on her than the picture looks. Great value.
LJ446 Armor 3 ring jacket Reviewby Shawn - verified purchaser
Love this jacket. It's not as heavy as my old leather one (which made my neck hurt by the end of the day) but just as warm. Plus the zip out liner makes it so much more functional. The size runs pretty close to normal too.
Nice Jacket!by Greg Toope - verified purchaser
Bought this jacket for my wife as I wanted to find a lighter jacket for her that included armour. She has a nice leather jacket, but thats not great for really hot days. This jacket so far is great, and as many have stated its a much nicer looking jacket then the pictures make it out to be. Sizing seems pretty accurate.
Armor Jacketby Amy - verified purchaser
Love the look and feel of this jacket, sized just a bit big for the measurements, but fits great with layers under it. Just getting use to the armor feel, new to this!
3-Ring Motorcycle Jacketby Vicky - verified purchaser
Real nice jacket for the money. Removable insulated liner is a plus.
Great Jacket!by Samantha - verified purchaser
This jacket is great! It's lightweight and fits perfect. No need to get a bigger size. I will order from this site again.
good jacketby Tano - verified purchaser
I buy this jacket for my club for wife and its very good , only the size its more biger , but its good jacket for the price , I'm very happy with jafrum.
Great Motorcycle Jacketby Debbie - verified purchaser
Exactly as described, perfect fit, but I decided on a leather jacket instead and sent this one back. I recomment it, for the price very good quality and fit.
Love it!by Tiffany Greene - verified purchaser
I am a busty female so I bought an extra large. Fits nicely and looks great. Have received numerous comments and compliments.

Hi guys,
Just want to know your opinion on this ebike on the Craigslist. Thanks!
Hi guys,
Just want to know your opinion on this ebike on the Craigslist. Thanks!
FYI--You can get a similar, generic e-bike brand new for less. http://shop.vendio.com/remo032/item/.../?s=1263113762 However, not knowing the specifics on your commute, size and if you're planning on pedaling, I'm not sure what's a better match for you.
Last edited by nwmtnbkr; 01-10-10 at 09:17 PM.
Thanks. The XB-310Li resembles the bike on the ad. The main difference seems to be 6-speed vs 3-speed. Did I miss anything?
It's not worth it. If you're in SF, you need a much larger motor. And one that IS NOT mounted on front suspension! What were they thinking?! I bet those forks are even aluminum. The battery won't get you far on your hills, either.
For that price, you could get a motor (hub or otherwise) that will provide a lot more torque and a battery that will actually last. Mount it on your favorite bike and you're good to go.
'02 Fuji Finest AL
'97 Trek Multitrack w/Amped rear 500w 36v15ah Ping
13 mile roundtrip commute, 150 days/school year
I commute by ebike from San Francisco to Brisbane for since 2007. I can confirm most hub motors may not be suitable in the hilly areas unless you pedal alone with it. I have multiple hub ebikes as well as chain drive ebikes. My personal favorite is a non-hub motor for the city commute due to high torque with high speed.
I was wondering on the generic e-bike how much distance would you get on a charge. On the website it says 20 to 25 miles per charge. I have the IZIP 24V10A Battery which is rated at 12 to 20 miles per charge. However, I only get around 9 miles per charge. I do pedal the entire time. I do have the some big hills on my commute. Any insight would be appreciated.
Bicycle Commuter from New York City.
Don't rely on mileage claims on any e-bike, especially if the stock batteries aren't LIFEPO4. Even LIFEPO4 batteries may not be high Cs and may not give you as much mileage as you want. If the care and handling of LI-POLY batteries wasn't so risky, I'd be tempted to try LI-POLY packs since most have a much higher C-rating. If only A123 batteries were available for e-bikes at an affordable price.
Clearly, rider size and road conditions affect mileage, but I'm shocked you're only getting 9 miles on your Currie SLAs if you're pedaling. I live west of Glacier National Park and have much steeper hills to climb than you. I've traveled 25 miles and still had power to spare in my one SLA battery, but I only use power assist on the hills and pedal then, too. However, I'm a woman and probably lighter than you. But still, perhaps your SLA batteries were older. I'd suggest you move to another battery technology when your SLAs die. You should also install a battery volt meter/power analyzer. Hobby King has a good one for right around $25. You really don't want to over discharge any form of battery--it's a sure way to prematurely kill them.

When to Convert Your Traditional IRA to a Roth
Here are three times it makes the most sense, in regards to reducing your tax burden, to convert your IRA to a Roth IRA.
Here are three times it makes the most sense, in regards to reducing your tax burden, to convert your IRA to a Roth IRA.
Americans are getting smarter about planning retirement. The evidence: There's been a big surge in Roth IRA conversions.
Buried deep in the American Taxpayer Relief act is a provision that will let a lot more workers convert their traditional 401(k) savings account into a Roth 401(k). Here's why doing that might be a good deal for you in the long term -- and why it might not.
If you converted your IRA to a Roth IRA last year, you have until Oct. 15 do what's called a recharacterization, which essentially lets you undo the conversion and get a do-over. And there may be some big tax benefits to doing that now.
The Roth IRA is one of the best retirement vehicles around, thanks primarily to its terrific tax advantages. The only problem is that some people earn too much, and aren't qualified to contribute directly to one. Fortunately, there's a way around those restrictions.
If you're trying to save for retirement, a Roth IRA could be one of your most powerful tools. But until recently, high earners couldn't take advantage of these retirement accounts.
When you contribute to a traditional IRA, you can deduct that money from your taxable income that year. When you contribute to a Roth IRA, you don't get the immediate tax benefit -- but you withdraw your money tax-free in retirement. It's also possible to convert from a traditional to a Roth, but you have to pay taxes to do so. A reader named Ron wants to know how that works, and when he'd have to pay the taxes. DailyFinance's Laura Rowley explains.
Here's another reason not to panic about about the prospect of a bear market: Doing a Roth conversion while the market's down can save you in taxes. It's a little complicated, but completely worth it. Read on to find out how.
After a year's reprieve, if you are more than 70 1/2 in 2010, you have to ante up a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA, 401(k) or...

Bad moms don't worry about being bad moms.
I think we're going to get him the Combi walker that looks like a car. We've got a lot of hardwood & tile floors, & I know he will love being mobile!

I am so excited for Xmas! It's like the holidays are fun again even though she's still too small to understand. I want to get a jumparoo thing and some videos (since we don't have cable) but other than that I'll let the family spoil her for now. :)
My mom, sister and I start thinking about Christmas in the middle of July....yes we like to plan in advance. We are getting my daughter some clothes and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD. We are getting my son some clothes because he already has a ton of toys. They are getting a ton from family so we dont need to give them alot.

All scheduling will take place with counselors through Health and PE classes for 9th and 10th grade students and during English 11 blocks for juniors.
A core recommendation letter as well as initial course request letter will be sent home with 3rd quarter report cards. Please ask your student to see their initial course selections. The last date to request course changes is May 1, 2015. The final report card mailed home on June 18 will contain the final course requests. Please review all course requests carefully with your student.
