his music is HORRIBLE
I guess he was tired from chasing ambulances all day.
And tell me again why R. Kelly is significant enough for this kind of coverage?
I met R. Kelly back in 1996, when I was driving a cab and he was playing on the Atlantic City Seagulls basketball team.
I had the entire starting lineup in my taxi, heading for the Hamilton Mall. He was right in the middle of the back seat, so I got a good look at him every time I checked the mirror.
One of his teammates said, "Don't you know who you got in yo' cab? 'Dis R. Kelly!"
I looked his reflection right in the eye and said, "Nah, but I don't really follow sports."
He looked deflated, and they laughed at him all the way to the mall. Thankfully, he did not pee in my cab.
this is the funniest thing i've heard all week (it's only monday).I'm talking about R Kelly complying with the gag order!! Gotta be a first!I think they should sentence him to listen to this guys CD for 5 yrs. Of course that is if he's guilty (ha ha ha)RIGHT!!! These colored fellas gotta go stickin' that thing in anything it's not supposed to be in.Try a lamp socket, that should prove interesting!!!
Now you mo fuggers leave my BOY R Kelly be. He bes special and all so he gets to go to pokin' any young ting he wants to,cept his dumb ass should have turned da camera off.I be waitin' fo' him Momma Lena gots da real ting for him.
Of course he has to sell the CD! There is a shortage of bowling alleys featuring live music, so where else is his band supposed to play and earn a living? Gave me a craving to go watch old Dick Van Dyke episodes...
please be careful clicking on his link...his site offends on many levels.
Who cares how old the girl was?
As stated at common law, "If there's grass on the wicket, it's time for cricket," later modified by Cardozo, J. to "if there's grass on the field, play ball."
Thank God there are still countries like Cambodia out there.
i like him music, but i think he did it but they must prove he did it. but am sure he is not going to jail.
The comment made by Defense was disgusting. Shame on you!
Lawyers: useless AND obnoxious.
Kurt Cobain started out as a paralegal in a chain firm and put himself through night school. After graduating with honors, he clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia for a year before taking a position as an ADA in the Tacoma District Attorney's office. He was interviewing for a plum new job as General Counsel for Boeing when his ugly white trash wife murdered him.
I know Mr. Roman, and he's a good musician. Even though he committed faux pas in the courtroom, quite a few news outlets have this story and it's basically free advertising. A bold move to further a career. Mr Roman has also met other famous musicians such as Santana and the late Buddy Miles to name a couple.
a bold move? are you a complete idiot too? To try to push your mediocre music to a guy accused of child-porn.
Get a brain Local Indiana musician-Im from the east side and I still couldnt side with this idiot.
Oh, but he's met other famous musicians. Did he invite himself to their barbeques or something? It's embarrasing,thats what it is.
Thank you one and all for the great reading. Especially greengrass&hightides, green is your color! Very good.
curtis lowe who provided the above comment is testimony firstly to why it is difficult to be successful in a world that judges you by your colour first and secondly to the fact that R Kelly is most likely innocent but should not even be on trail as it is impossible for him to get a fair trial - just look at the comment from an average peasant like lowe.
Well Mr.London City Boy, I suppose you go along with the comments of Ms.Lena Horndog,the crack whore!!!! You numbnut,does anybody take any of these people serious,I hope not!!
You have to realize when he met Andrea. r. kelly's ( No caps.)wife was only seventeen when they met. Aliyah was only fifteen when you married her. The girl in the tape, she went to elementary school with my nieces and she was only fourteen in the video. She would always brag about how many pairs of gym shoes he had bought her and how he was going to buy her a car. I was brutally rapped by an older man when I was 16 and lost my virginity and a part of my soul. Men like Robert, she rot in jail, just like John Gacy. Robert Kelly may not have physically killed those girl, but I know one whose emotionally dead for life. The last tape, I ever bought of his was 12 play. Then I heard about Aliyah and I've despised his existence every since, but what can you do to a big star, just wait till they fall from the sky.

Publicists perform a wide variety of duties related to ensuring their company or client is consistently portrayed publicly in a positive light. They are responsible for working closely with the company's upper management to help promote the company's image. They need to manage day-to-day relations with media, as well as the company's social media outlets. Publicists are also responsible for scheduling interviews and booking speaking engagements and appearances with relevant personnel. They may also be responsible for developing buzz for upcoming company products (such as newly released books) to increase demand and drive sales. Additionally, the publicist must follow all company guidelines in their day-to-day work.Read More...
Employers for publicists vary, but common employers are book publishers and movie/television studios. This is generally a full-time position, and travel may be required depending on the needs of the employer.
Basic requirements for publicist positions include possessing excellent writing skills and possessing experience in pitching ideas and securing positive media attention. They must also be able to manage and prioritize simultaneously occurring projects. A publicist must also be well-organized, self-motivated, and have strong attention to detail. They should be creative individuals that are strong problem-solvers that create new opportunities for publicity for their organization.
Typical Publicists report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Marketing Communications, Media / Public Relations, Press Releases, and Event Planning are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Social Media Marketing. Those proficient in Media / Public Relations are, more often than not, also skilled in Event Planning.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $40K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $51K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Publicists make a median salary of $61K. Respondents who boast more than two decades on the job don't boast commensurate pay, unfortunately; these veterans see average earnings of only $53K.
Washington is home to an above-average pay rate for Publicists, 25 percent higher than the national average. Publicists will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+13 percent), New York (+11 percent), Atlanta (+9 percent), and Seattle (+4 percent). The lowest-paying market is Nashville, which sits 25 percent below the national average, proving that location is a significant contributor to overall pay. Austin and San Francisco are a couple other places where companies are known to pay below the median — salaries are 18 percent lower and 9 percent lower, respectively.

Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konohagakure destroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokage outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen. Read more...

|Mock NBA Fantasy Basketball Draft
|10.05.10 at 4:58 pm ET
A breakdown of the first five rounds of a mock 10-team fantasy basketball draft, in addition to the top-10 late-round sleepers and the top-10 players to avoid. Full disclosure: I am unstoppable at fantasy basketball. I also consulted commissioner James Hough of our annual league, Mondo Rondo.
(NOTE: Your season depends solely on the health of this pick.)
1. Kevin Durant: Team USA's best player; absolute monster; fills every stat category.
2. LeBron James: Has a legit chance to average a triple-double.
3. Kobe Bryant: Even if not 100 percent, the game's best player can't slip past No. 3.
4. Chris Paul: Might be the No. 2 pick if not for the whole knee surgery thing.
5. Deron Williams: Averaged at least 18 points & 10 assists per game last 3 seasons.
6. Danny Granger: Most underrated player in the NBA on a bad team translates into numbers.
7. Dwight Howard: You're giving up FT% with this pick … but likely winning FG%, blocks & boards.
8. Dwyane Wade: Stats will suffer beside LeBron, but still warrants first-round pick.
9. Dirk Nowitzki: The first-round guy I'd least like to have on my team still fills the statsheet.
10. Pau Gasol: He may look like a llama, but he's the best offensive center in the game.
ROUND 2(NOTE: Either diversify your roster or lock categories down in your favor.)
11. Chris Bosh: He'll still score, grab rebounds, block shots and make free throws.
12. Steve Nash: It's a good thing defense isn't really a category in fantasy hoops.
13. Amar'e Stoudemire: Last season under D'Antoni: 25.2 ppg, 9.1 rpg, 2.1 bpg, 59.0 FG%, 80.5 FT%.
14. Josh Smith: Draft him with Howard, and you win blocks & boards every week.
15. Stephen Curry: A first-round pick on most boards, I wouldn't take him until now.
16. Brook Lopez: Never would've predicted he'd be a top-20 pick.
17. Carmelo Anthony: A top-10 player, but on a team he doesn't want to play for.
18. Rajon Rondo: Points, assists, steals and FG% have gone up every year.
19. Derrick Rose: Is anybody else thinking he's going to have a huge season?
20. David Lee: You can count the number of centers who have average 20 and 12 on one hand.
|Kevin Garnett on D&C: Offseason a 'dark place'
|09.29.10 at 11:37 am ET
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett spoke with Dennis & Callahan at Celtics media day in an interview that aired on Wednesday morning's show. Garnett spoke of the depressed mood he was in following the Celtics' NBA finals Game 7 loss to the Lakers.
Said Garnett: "Very dark, to be honest, dark. 'Just leave me alone, let me be my myself. I don't want to deal with anything right now. Let me just be in a dark place.' Just the way I replay the game over and over in my mind, trying to get a resolution to some type of place to where you can settle with it. I never found it, but that's what it is. I say it's fuel to the fire."
Garnett said his passion for the game though has not waned throughout the years. "I feel older in the fact that I've played for multiple years," he said. "But when it comes to competing, being in shape, passion ' none of those things are lacking, not with me. When I get out on the floor, man, I'm going to compete. I wear my heart on my sleeve with anything that I do, anyway. Basketball is one of the things I enjoy in this world, so it's like I'm having a tryout here. When I work out, I work out to better myself, to better my craft. Basketball is pure enjoyment for me."
Following are more highlights from the conversation. To listen to the full interview, visit the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
When you're done ' whenever that is ' will it be physical or emotional? Will it be that passion that goes first or will it be the knees?
I think it will be physical. When I retire, it will probably be because I'm hurting on a regular basis. I'm a passionate guy. Anyone who knows me or hangs out with me, they know that if I'm playing a video game or telling a story or something, I'm passionate about it.
How come nobody knows you, other than your family and friends? You're pretty private, people don't know much about you. Ray Allen is out playing golf, Shaq is everywhere already, but you don't see much of Kevin Garnett.
Those guys like to be seen, I like to be in the back.
Are you shy?
I wouldn't say shy, I'm just private. I think to get to know anybody is a moment. I look at life like, guys get to see me perform, play ball, a lot of things that we do are on blast anyways. So, the little private life that I do have I like to keep it private. I don't like to ' you know, I don't have a Twitter, I don't have a Facebook. It's not that I'm not social. I'm social, but I like to be social with the people I know.
I just feel like everybody out here is not for you. If you let everybody in, you let those people in with that. I just prefer to have my circle tight and have my family and friends close to me. That's how I like to interact and be around people. Shaq has the personality, his personality's so big that you can't really withhold that. Ray is a good golfer. I guess he likes people to see his swing or whatever. I'm just to the back. If I go out and go somewhere I like to sit down and chill. I'm not a rah-rah guy, I'm rah-rah when I'm on the court. I'm pretty laid back.
|Why Doc Rivers is the 'perfect coach' for C's
|09.27.10 at 11:53 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics head coach Doc Rivers believes he enters the season with the most talented group he's ever coached, with more depth than the 2008 team that won the NBA title.
"You could make the case the 2008 team had more talent because they were younger. Kevin [Garnett] was at the peak of his health at that point so that has changed just a little bit. We're hoping that all the guys on the bench are as good as their names. We don't know that, either."
One thing Rivers does know is the "O'Neal Brothers" – as he labeled the unrelated Shaquille and Jermaine on Monday – gives the Celtics as much in size as name recognition and the two will fight for the starting center's job while Kendrick Perkins rehabs his right knee."
Rivers has Delonte West on the bench. He has Nate Robinson on the bench. He Marquis Daniels on the bench. No team north of Miami can bring the depth to the court that the Celtics will bring this season.
"But I like the group as far as talent," Rivers added. "A lot of the guys we've added, they've won. They've done a lot of winning if they haven't been the winner [of the NBA title] and they are tough. A lot of them are tough guys, and I think that is good for our team."
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said Monday he believes Rivers is the "perfect coach" for the veteran group of superstars he's assembled to make another run at the franchise's 18th NBA title. Rivers, Ainge and the rest of the Celtics spoke at Media Day about how ready and primed this group is to make it back to the promised land.
"Yeah, we'll see about that, that's for sure," Rivers laughed when told what Ainge said. "We have a lot of personalities, there's no doubt about that, probably more than we've ever had. Having said that, I also think this is the most talented group we've had, as far as deep, on the bench."
The Celtics are trying to get back to the NBA Finals again next June for the third time in four seasons and avenge their Game 7 loss last June to the Lakers. The Celtics lead the Lakers 17 titles to 16.
Rivers went back with his coaching staff in August and made them all watch just how close they were to No. 18.
"I don't think you ever get over it," Rivers said. "I made my staff watch it. We watched it together about a month ago. So, I don't think you ever get over it. Whenever I see anything [involving Game 7], they always show the damn celebration and all that. That's not anything I want to watch. Hell, I'm not over Game 7 Celtics-Atlanta Hawks [1987], so I'm certainly not going to be over this.
"It does in some ways. It wants you to get it started again so you can get back there. So yeah, in that way it does. But other than that, you have to move forward. It has to push you a little bit. There's no doubt."
One thing Rivers did take from watching again was just how big a role the third-quarter injury to Paul Pierce played in the final devastating outcome.
"It's easier to watch it the second time," Rivers said. "It's still emotional, it always will be. You watch it and you looked at all the opportunities you did have in that in that game. You saw some things you didn't see. I didn't realize the Paul injury was bigger, that little injury, was bigger than I thought it was during the game.
"I think [Celtics' lead] was 12 when he went out. It was only a three-minute period, but when he came back in it was four or six and that was the game. That was in the third quarter and I thought that was the turning point in the game. Nothing in the fourth quarter was different than what I saw. It was more the third quarter I thought changed the game.
In the wake of Game 7 in the locker room, Rivers also admitted Monday that he thought that was it for this group together under his direction.
"Yeah, because I wasn't sure of what I was going to do at that time," he said. "I knew Rasheed [Wallace] wasn't coming back, he told me that before the game. I was, at that time, leaning heavily toward not coming back. Yeah, in the locker room I actually thought that was going to be the last time, at that point, that I would see all these guys together.
"And even if I did come back, I knew it wouldn't be the same team. I knew we were going to have to make changes. I knew at that time, and no one else knew, the extent of Perk's injury so I knew he wouldn't be back until late in next year."
But he does get another chance to prove – as Pierce believes – that he's one of the best coaches in the NBA.
Just how many games can this group win this regular season?
"How many games we play, 82? Ok," Rivers laughed.
Rivers would be just happy with 16 in the playoffs when it matters most.

WALTHAM — Shaquille O'Neal is a superstar who loves to talk about having 735 days left in his NBA career. He wants those days to include two more NBA titles, giving him six, which would mean he would have one more than Kobe Bryant.
But as O'Neal reminded everyone on Monday at Celtics media, this isn't about him and Kobe, it's about leaving the game on top.
The newest superstar member of the Celtics has given up his mom's hamburgers, fried chicken, mac and cheese and cornbread muffins and is ripped and ready to go for his 18th season in the NBA, starting with Celtics media day on Monday.
O'Neal said he has been playing pickup games with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce at the Celtics facility and swimming to get in shape.
The Shaq-Kobe war of words was re-ignited Monday when he recalled the words of Bryant in the moments after the Lakers beat the Celtics for their 17th title and his fifth. 'That's one more than Shaq.'
O'Neal had his response on Monday. It had less to do with Kobe and more to do with San Antonio's Tim Duncan.
"Yeah I heard it," O'Neal said. "My whole career I've been the measuring stick. Glad to see I'm still relevant. I would've been more upset, more hurt, if Tim Duncan would've made the comment. I don't compete with guards. They have the ball more than I do, they shoot way more than I do. You can't compete with guard. I'm only competing w/Tim Duncan so hopefully I can get No. 5 before Tim Duncan, respectfully before Tim Duncan."
Duncan and O'Neal each have four NBA championship rings while Bryant and Derek Fisher lead active players with five.
|Rondo the salesman
|07.14.10 at 5:04 pm ET
WALTHAM — After passing a physical that finalized a two-year free agent deal, Jermaine O'Neal said that Rajon Rondo was the most important person to sell him on the value of signing with the Celtics.
"I had some great conversations with Doc [Rivers], Danny [Ainge] and Paul [Pierce] and Rondo, and Rondo actually was probably the guy who sold it the most, and I had great conversations with all four guys but he really helped me understand where my fit would be," O'Neal said. "I'm not concerned about shots, I'm not concerned about minutes. I'm not concerned about anything but winning. At the end of the day, you can build up individual goals, but your validation is whether you win or not."
O'Neal also gave credit to Rasheed Wallace, who also sold him on the quality of the organization. O'Neal said he texted Wallace to see if he could convince him to come out of retirement. He said he hadn't heard back but would be getting together with him soon.
|Report: Wallace decides to retire
|06.24.10 at 8:16 pm ET
Rasheed Wallace has officially decided to retire, TNT's David Aldridge reported on Thursday night, citing a league source. The decision was expected following the Celtics' Game 7 loss to the Lakers in the NBA finals. After the game, Doc Rivers said, "I don't know if Rasheed will ever play again. He's one of them. I think he took that out on the floor with him." Wallace had $12 million and two years left on his contract, which he signed last summer.
Wallace most recently averaged 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds during the finals, including a Game 7 start. It was a bounceback from an inconsistent regular season in which he posted 9.0 points and 4.1 rebounds while shooting 28.3 percent from 3-point range in 79 games.
Wallace was selected by the Bullets with the fourth overall pick in the 1995 NBA Draft. He earned four All-Star selections and won a championship in 2004 with the Pistons. Wallace ranked sixth in games played among all active players.
|Lakers emphasize green not their color
|06.20.10 at 11:20 pm ET
After defeating the Celtics to win the 2010 NBA championship, Kobe Bryant admitted he had downplayed the significance of beating the Lakers' storied rival during the finals series.
'I was just lying to you guys,' he said after Game 7. 'When you're in the moment you have to suppress that because if you get caught up in the hype of it all, you don't really play your best basketball.'
Now that Bryant and the Lakers have won the trophy, there is no hiding his feelings.
The Lakers recently appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in celebration of their victory. When asked if he talks to or is friendly with any of the Celtics, Bryant quickly replied: 'No.'
Derek Fisher added, 'It's just different. If you're a Laker, it's really hard to like anything green. Period.'

Best Incompatible Duet (2012)
Roland Bernier and Bill Vielehr
Except for the fact that they are both well-established artists, the two men featured in I Gotcha Covered: Roland Bernier and Bill Vielehr have nothing in common. Roland Bernier's visual language is actually language — in this show, giant letters in alphabetical order — which he uses as found compositions for his conceptual pieces. Bill Vielehr, on the other hand, does welded aluminum in the form of abstract columns. To make them work in the same show at Walker Fine Art, gallery director Bobbi Walker put the Berniers on the walls and the Vielehrs on the floor, creating what could be seen as a solo within a solo, with each artist standing out on his own.

So it bascially comes down to whether or not I should get a complete overhaul of my fork or not. I purchased my 2003 MX comp/eta about 3-4 years ago and i have not done any maintence on it in this time. This fork has been babied and it is in mint condition. However, it is getting less responsive and is in need of a overhaul.
Should i give it what it deserves or move on to newer and better technology. Ive maybe ridden...1000km on it which is not much.

|BACKGROUND: Canadians pay amongst the highest generic drug prices in the world. In July 2010, the province of Ontario enacted a policy that halved reimbursement for generic drugs from the public drug plan, and substantially lowered prices for private purchases. We quantified the impact of this policy on overall generic drug expenditures in the province, and projected the impact in other provinces had they mimicked this pricing change. METHODS: We used quarterly prescription generic drug dispensing data from the IMS-Brogan CompuScript Audit. We used the price per unit in both the pre- and post-policy period and two economics price indexes to estimate the expenditure reduction in Ontario. Further, we used the post-policy Ontario prices to estimate the potential reduction in other provinces. RESULTS: We estimate that total expenditure on generic drugs in Ontario during the second half of 2010 was between $181 and $194 million below what would be expected if prices had remained at pre-policy level. Over half of the reduction in spending was due to savings on just 10 generic ingredients. If other provinces had matched Ontario's prices, their expenditures over during the latter half of 2010 would have been $445 million lower. DISCUSSION: We found that if Ontario's pricing scheme were adopted nationally, overall spending on generic drugs in Canada would drop at least $1.28 billion annually--a 5% decrease in total prescription drug expenditure. Other provinces should seriously consider both changes to their generic drug prices and the use of more competitive bulk purchasing policies.

In short, we launched an unprecedented and expensive effort to improve schools and help students -- and it didn't work.
One problem is that the states that were serious about raising performance didn't need the law, and those that were not serious were able to evade or frustrate it. Michael Petrilli, vice president of the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, has explained, "While it's hard to force recalcitrant states and districts to do things they don't want to do, it's impossible to force them to do those things well."
Nor is it clear it would help if they did. Diane Ravitch, a New York University professor who was an education official under the first President Bush and a former NCLB enthusiast, finds no evidence that the remedies that failing schools must adopt actually work in practice.
As she notes in her new book, "The Death and Life of the Great American School System," few parents have taken advantage of the opportunity provided under NCLB to escape bad schools. Few students have leapt at the chance to get free after-school tutoring. Few failing schools have been able to turn around.
Obama's "Race to the Top" plan is a new approach, offering competitive grants to states that adopt high standards, improve lousy schools and reward good teachers. It's a fresh, promising idea in a field where fresh, promising ideas go to die.
Like NCLB, the new policy rests on the assumption that the federal government not only knows how to raise student performance but has the tools to induce states and local school districts to make the changes required to help the students in need. But experience indicates all those premises are wrong.
Our leaders have a lot of evidence that a bigger federal role will not produce the desired results, and yet they persist in believing that it will. Not every education failure occurs in a classroom.

From Singapore Non-sticky, moisturizes well and tones down my dark eye rings. It doesn't give me milia seeds as well. If you are living in a humid country like Singapore, give this a try!
Great line of products

I currently use almost all of the Avalon Organics lavender facial products. They are so gentle on my sensitive skin and never cause redness or irritation. I always use the revitalizing eye gel after sleepless nights and am happy to say that it works instantly.

There remains something mystical about a booming, raucous V-8 motor, gurgling and growling its way to redline. But in the quest for improved efficiency, smaller turbocharged engines are becoming the norm. For 2014, the Porsche Panamera S and 4S models receive such treatment, as a 3.0-liter twin turbo V-6 replaces the outgoing 4.8-liter V-8.
Smaller, however, does not mean less powerful. The new, more efficient motor churns out 20 additional horsepower and an extra 15 lb.-ft. of torque. The full 384 lb.-ft., according to Porsche, will be available across much of the rev range. How much more efficiency the V-6 offers remains to be seen, as fuel economy figures have not yet been released.
Sticking with the quest for more power and less pump time, Porsche announced the new Panamera S E-Hybrid today, replacing the outgoing S Hybrid. It boasts a more powerful 95-hp electric motor; roughly doubling the old hybrid's electric power. A new lithium-ion battery drastically increases capacity from 1.7 kWh to 9.4 kWh, and can be charged within two and half hours when using a 240V adapter.
Again, efficiency numbers are not available, but Porsche says early indications suggest the S E-Hybrid can travel in all-electric mode for over of 20 miles; one can be sure that figure is achieved by switching off the heating and cooling devices, making real world numbers run less. The new hybrid reportedly reaches 84 mph in electric mode and claims a half second improvement in 0-60 mph time, mastering the run in 5.2 seconds. Top speed should be around 167 mph.
Two new Panamera Executive models join the mix: the 4S Executive and the Turbo Executive. Both models feature a wheelbase lengthened by 5.9 inches, making the already stretched 911 appear like a lump of Play-Doh being used in a game of tugging war.
From a visual perspective, subtlety remains the German automaker's philosophy. The air intakes up front are increased in size and the trunk lid receives extra glass along with a larger deploying rear spoiler. Full-LED headlights are now an option, but when LED accents come standard on a $15,990 Nissan Sentra, making this an option seems a tad stingy — although that remains another of the manufacturer's key philosophies.
Pricing for the base Panamera starts at $78,100, flowing to $99,000 for the S E Hybrid, up to $161,100 for the Turbo Executive (a $20k premium over the standard Turbo). The refreshed Panamera hits dealerships late this year, with the Turbo S and Turbo S Executive following in 2014.
With the new and improved twin turbo V-6 powering the S models, fortunately, we can still count on the GTS and Turbo variants to utilize the raucous, gurgling V-8 we all love.

Our story, the Wolf Story, is something we take great pride in sharing. Not just because the business bears our family name, but also because this is our family. This is what the Wolf family has done for five generations.
The Wolf Designs legacy begins like the Deutsche Marchensrasse (Fairytale Road) in Hanau, Germany in 1834. It was in Hanau that Philip Wolf I, a silversmith by trade, began to produce leather-covered presentation cases for his silver products. His rationale was clear: it is only logical to protect ones investment in fine silver by storing and safeguarding it in a fine quality case. Presentation and storage cases for jewelry were not unique, however, covering the case in rich leather was something that Philip I would be credited with inventing. The process of cutting and stitching leather panels together was a laborious task. The leather was fastened onto the frame and inspected with care to ensure that every piece met Philips high standards.
In 1836, Philip was selling more presentation and jewelry boxes than silver so he moved away from making silver and concentrated on honing his skills making leather boxes. His business continued to grow as many local silver and goldsmiths discovered that their products held greater value when offered in a case made by Philip Wolf.
Philip Wolf II was born in 1869. He would come to take over the family business, but only after years of apprenticeship. By 1905, the Wolf family had immigrated to Malmö, Sweden. Visiting the region on holiday, Philip II met a beautiful woman. He decided he liked the country and chose to stay.
If there were anyone who could personify the steadfast determination of the Wolf family, it would be a woman named Ida Wilhemina. Born of Swedish descent in 1889, she married Philip II in 1910. Ida was known for her extraordinary resourcefulness, courage, and drive to see her family and the family business persevere, even though difficult circumstances. In 1926, Philip Wolf II fell ill with a lung ailment, leaving him unable to work and support his family. Ida Wilhemina Wolf was faced with the prospect of watching the family business, and their sole means of support, dwindle away. She could not let this happen. After successfully taking over the management of the Wolf business, she also took on sales. Ida understood that Wolf Designs needed its customers and customers needed Wolf Designs, so she set off on the road. Though her means of transportation were vastly different from that of todays sales representatives, the job she performed was not much different. Her primary methods of travel were horse-drawn cart and railroad car, stopping in each city, town, and village to sell Wolf Designs jewel cases. To conserve money she would stay in train stations, renting a blanket for 0.50 krona per night, and occasionally accept an invitation into the home of a customer.
During this time, Mrs. Wolf looked to her sons Philip III and Ernst. They were both in their early teens when they began working full-time for the company. Though this was not unusual for young men of this time, it was unique that they were immediately placed in roles of significant responsibility. Mrs. Wolf would be gone for up to three months at a time, carrying one suitcase for personal items and another for sample products. Once each week she would mail her purchase orders to the factory, where production manager Gerda Ridell would stand at the door awaiting their delivery.
The reins were passed to Philip III in 1936, during a global depression. Due to the cautious nature of the Wolf family and Swedens neutrality during the war, the Company was able to export significant amounts of product and enjoy a stable home market throughout the Depression and World War II. Throughout his tenure, Philip III was determined to establish Wolf Designs as a benchmark for professionalism and sound business practices. He promptly introduced fast-flow production methods, which dramatically improved manufacturing efficiency.
At the same time, Wolf Designs implemented new distribution and sales programs that were managed directly by the company. This also proved successful and resulted in phenomenal growth. In 1939, Philip III purchased a five-story building in the center of Malmö to handle the rapidly expanding operations. This building housed all aspects of the business: manufacturing, sales, distribution, administration, and 200 highly dedicated employees. The company remained in this building for more than twenty years, until the early 1960s. At that time, they moved to a new 80,000 square foot building, designed and built just for Wolf Designs to hold modern offices and a labor force expanding to more than 350 employees. This facility produced items for retailers and customers throughout Europe.
Beyond Philip IIIs business acumen, Wolf Designs became known as a company with a great social conscience, with programs to assist the companys employees, community, and environment. Philip III frequently loaned money to staff members to help them buy houses. He knew that a comfortable and stable workforce would also be more loyal and productive. Philip III cared deeply about the environment. What started as a casual interest shortly blossomed into his lifelong dedication. By 1947, he had built the family business to such a stable position that he could venture to South America to volunteer his time, intellect, and energy to preserving the environment. He also gave speeches throughout Sweden to lobby the government against soil erosion, while still continuing to develop his family business. Philip IV was given the edict to go to the UK and establish the business there. His brother Richard, a professional ballet dancer, stayed in Sweden with his father to run the parent company.
In 1961, Philip IV arrived in London armed only with a suitcase and samples. He immediately began visiting and selling to companies like Ronson and Timex. At the time, Ronson was the largest cigarette lighter manufacturer in the world. They had planned a launch for a new womens lighter, and a Wolf Designs case would be the launch vehicle. The jewelry case business also flourished with clients like Harrods and Selfridges stores in London. The Company even had its own store-within-a-store at Selfridges, staffed by Wolf Designs employees and with a large area devoted to its products. Customers marveled at the finely crafted leather-covered boxes. Once Philip IV had established Wolf Designs throughout the UK, the family decided to move there. In the spring of 1964, they moved into an office on highly fashionable Old Bond Street in London.
In 1968 the Company decided to set up a production facility in the UK. Philip IV selected a site in South Wales, well known for its factory buildings and the availability of its labor. The factory opened in the spring of 1968 and was an immediate success. Products were sold all over the UK as well as in some international markets. Often, Philip IV had to travel to the factory, which was 250 miles from the sales office in London. This caused problems and put a lot of pressure on him. Fortunately, Philip obtained his pilots license and began to commute by air. Soon, clients were willing to join him, and many visits were made from the UK to the Swedish factory, as well as to France, Holland and other countries.
Under the wing of Philip IV, Wolf Designs continued to fly high. The winds were right for change and with the 1980s came a period of significant adjustment and transition. In May of 1980, while sitting at the kitchen table in the Wolf home in South London, Ida Wilhemina passed away from a heart attack. Her funeral was held in Malmö and attended by hundreds. In 1988, Simon Philip Wolf V left the UK at his fathers direction to open a US subsidiary in Chicago. He would labour for close to a decade to build the Wolf Designs brand in the North American market, finally succeeding in the mid-1990s when annual growth began to exceed seventy percent. In the midst of these significant corporate changes and the accompanying growth of Wolf Designs, Philip III followed Ida and passed away in 1992. If Ida was the heart of Wolf Designs through the 1930s, 40s and 50s, Philip III was the soul. He is fondly remembered for evolving Wolf Designs into a business that runs like a Swiss watch, while still caring for the environment and the people that are part of it.
Philip IV and Simon Philip V, staying true to the company philosophy, built the North American division one brick at a time, meeting personally with leading retailers in markets all over North America and establishing relationships that will stand the test of time. In 2001, Wolf Designs US celebrated the achievement of a fantastic milestone; this was the first year in which the Company sold over one million leather-covered cases in North America. While this number is great, and our family is proud to have achieved this success, what matters most to all of us in the Wolf family are the incredible people we have had the good fortune to share our passion with, and will continue to for another 175 years.
All the best,
Philip IV

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
I would not be writing this review if that was the case. The Wolf policy is that they will absolutely not help you unless you can provide the original receipt. Even after I informed them that I still have the original box and the UPC sticker ($1999 list price) for the winder.
Come to find out this supposedly high end product is not serialized. Why should I be required to keep a receipt if they don't care enough about their product to put a serial number on it? Childrens toys I buy for my todler have a serial number but a $2K winder does not.
In all fairness if I had the receipt they said they would send me a free replacment. Since they manufacture the items in China and the COG's (cost of goods) are probalbly $50 to manufacture it that is not a surprise that giving me a free replacment is their policy. They do not offer any type of repair options. Now that I know it is made in China I certainly would not pay $2000 for a winder it -in all likelyhood- cost them about $50 to manufacure.
I just received this winder from Amazon and am very pleased with it. The price was right - almost 50% off retail. The 4 cuffs can be individually programmed (or turned off if not needed) and the winder is whisper quiet. Programming is a breeze and will literally take you less than a minute. I have only had the winder a few days, so if anything goes wrong, I will certainly update my review. But one of the reasons I settled on Wolf was they are a name brand with a 2-year warranty (unlike the inexpensive nameless winders you can find on Amazon).
If you've bought any Apple, Nest, or Dropcam product, the "box experience" is similar. Wolf has given some thought into the user experience of opening the box and inspecting the product and it arrived completely safe and secure.
Please be aware that the product dimensions listed in the description are WRONG. The ACTUAL product dimensions are 6.5 inches deep x 12.7 inches tall x 10.5 inches wide (NOT 19.5 inches wide as shown in the Amazon listing). This should easily fit on just about any bookshelf or dresser.
The Viceroy cuffs are a bit stiff when new, so fitting the watch around them was a little awkward at first . I expect them to loosen up a bit over time. They do snap into place, rather than squeezing on the "ears" to lock them in. It's a little different from my other winder, but that's not a big deal. I have average size watches (mid to upper 40 mm) and they fit just fine (smaller cuffs can be ordered separately for women's and children's watches).
I wish Wolf made a quad model with some on-board storage. This one is winders only. They do offer other models with storage, but not in a quad format (yet).
Some reviews are critical of the price. While the Wolf is not inexpensive, it is certainly not as expensive as other brands (such as Orbita). Sure you can buy cheaper winders, some for less than $100. But they are not as customizable in their programming, they usually require two watches per cuff, the motors are extremely noisy, and they don't last very long. You get what you pay for.
There is one very critical review that has taken Wolf to task because they didn't honor what he considered to be a warranty repair. This reviewer has posted the same critical review for every Wolf listing on Amazon. However, in that case the winder was a hand-me-down, with no receipt. Unless the warranty was registered or if there was an original receipt, the manufacturer has no idea if this is a legitimate claim or not. I don't blame the company in that case. I would say the responsibility is all on the owner. Take the time to register your product for the warranty and print a copy of the receipt (if bought online). You might need it if repairs are necessary.
"The Expandable Automatic Watch Winder" ACC-W1BKBK. I was given the Accuratic as a gift and there is no comparison. The Accuratic is good but it will not accommodate large watches and wound up scratching the edges of my leather band on my Edox Grand Ocean Watch that barely fit inside. I would rate the quality of the Wolf as a 9 out of 10 and the Accuratic a 7 out of 10. The Wolf's green LED light blinks slowly when the unit is on. The Accuratic's LCD screen is very difficult to see once the backlight goes off after a few seconds. I can't easily tell if it's ON and just between cycles like I can with the Wolf while it's not turning but ON. The Accuratic is also making a very low clicking sound one time on each turn. The Wolf is practically silent. Wolf's customer service was great in my experience with them. Look for these being sold by Amazon's Warehouse Deals for some great deals on opened box or damaged packaging. I DO NOT WORK FOR WOLF, ACCURATIC OR AMAZON.
