Chapter 4: Induction (cont.)
"Guild master!" the two thieves gasped. The woman, Larc Racieus assumed, stepped forward "We were told you had been killed."
Lieran's visage hardened, but he if he was at all surprised by the revelation, he didn't show it. He nodded slowly a few times before turning to face Racieus. "It seems like you took my advice to heart young halfling. And very fortunate for you, that you did, else I might not be having this conversation right now." The assassin bowed deeply to Racieus, "I apologize for the trouble I inadvertently put you in, and hope that my timely rescue has cleared the slate." Lieran then hesitated for a moment before continuing, "However, it seems that I must now prevail on you. While I could oust the man who has so quickly taken over my guild without your help, it would be much easier, and less costly in life, if I could use you as a diversion."
Racieus, still crouched over Kellam, pretended to think over, but in truth he had already come to his decision. "I might offer it. How you do plan to restore the balance between us?"
Lieran was quick to respond, "With Vance out of the way, a spot will have opened in our organization. I can not promise you the spot, but I can offer you a chance at it. "
"It is a deal. What is your plan?"
"What is it?"
"The halfling guild master. We have him."
Vance straightened in his chair. "Was Kellam not ordered to kill him?"
"He was guild master" Larc answered. "But the halfling somehow escaped from him. We managed to capture him before he could end Kellam's life. He is outside."
The richly dressed man stood, "Take me to him." Vance was in no rush as he descended the stairs of the guild house, and used the walk to sort out his thoughts on the matter of the halfling. What he had was certainly impressive, especially for one who was untrained; and he was untrained Vance knew. Otherwise he wouldn't have been caught so easily, and he lacked the confidence of a trained killer. If his already formidable skills were honed, the halfling could surpass anyone Vance had ever heard of. Quite remarkable for a halfling.
However, his own skin came first, and with power came thoughts of moving up. Vance knew this better than most, and he was worried that halfling might follow in his own footsteps. Reaching the door, the usurper put the mental debate to rest, still not fully convinced either way. He saw the halfling, pinned underneath Demien's knee.
"You've caused me a little bit of trouble halfling."
Racieus scowled, "The power to avoid that was never in my hands human. I was more than willing to work with you."
"How was I to know halfling? If only you knew what was on that note, you might be so hard on me. However, you've impressed me halfling, and I'm willing to reconsider your petition." Vance nodded at Demien who took his knee of of the small halfling, and allowed him to return to his feet.
"Am I going to be spoken to in the open like an outsider?" the halfling asked.
"Of course not. Come, we'll go to my office." The party dragged Kellam back inside, before traipsing back up the stairs to the top floor of the house. "Now," said Vance, after he had sat down, "We've had a spot open up in organization here. I can't just offer it to you, because that's not how it works, but if you can prove yourself, and from what I've heard of you in the short time you've been here, that shouldn't be a problem for you."
Racieus scowled, "That's not good enough guild master, I suggest you find something better, because I have another offer on the table."
"Oh?" answered Vance, his ire rising, "And did they offer you a better deal than your life?"
Racieus smirked, and nodded. "They did actually. Your life." The halfling pulled something from his belt, raised his arm up high, and then threw it hard, aiming for the surface of the desk. The object hit, and exploded with a crack. Just before the smoke enveloped him, Racieus could see the fear on Vance's face as he stood and began waving his arms around.
"Please! I don't know who you're working for, but I can offer you more, I swear!"
The smoke had begun to clear, revealing a dark figure standing behind Vance. As soon as the usurper had finished speaking, the figure drew a knife and had it in front of Vance's throat in a flash.
"Oh you know exactly who he's working for" Lieran whispered, and then he swiped the blade across Vance's neck, leaving a thin red line behind it.

Jim Chanos on the Skill Sets of Short Selling, China, and Europe
Posted by: GuruFocus (IP Logged)
Date: June 29, 2012 09:38PM
Jim Chanos went to Wall Street in 1980, doing investment banking deal. In 1982 got the first short idea. That got him thinking about short as a business. Now running $6 billion. $5.5 in short. For short, does not require different skill set? The actual skill set is the same. You should analyze the same type of business, make the same kind of phone call. But short selling requires negative enforcement. Wall Street is a giant positive enforcement. Most of reports and news are noise, but positive noise. If you are a short seller, it becomes a difficult environment. A lot of people don't like it. People are good at both long side and short side are very rare.
One thing people always say that "I don't want to short because it can go to infinite." But I have seen much more 0 than infinite.
If China is going to crash, we came to China in 2009. What about the Chinese demand, there is a huge contribution from constructions. This cannot be right. 30 billion square feet of office building. They are building more. Property companies, miners, Chinese banks are all credit driven.
I have no doubt that Chinese government's goal of 7.5% growth will be there. They will print it. The problem is the bad credit. If you get to the micro companies, it is even worse. If you dive deeper and deeper, it gets worse. You don't own the production assets of the companies, you own a holding company. Many of them don't even file financial statements.
Europe: in this case it is especially bad.

I personally feel China is going to do well on next 5-7 years. Jim Chanos's statement, will be wrong. Time will tell everything.
In China, domestic spending is increasing over years.

^ think of you own or your family's spending and the scale of expenditures involved. Leveraging for home purchases vs leveraging for vehicle and other purchases. China faces a huge retraction of spending and leverage when the bubble bursts.

text: FEELING THE NEED(LE) FOR SPEED 16th April 2013 BBC Things are getting serious in the Great British Sewing Bee and only the elite will survive. Clare Bennett reels as the sewing competition takes flight..'I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You three characters are going to Top Gun,' is what Claudia should have shouted at the end of this episode. That's right, men. Things are getting serious and only the elite will survive. Who is writing cheques their body can't cash? Who is feeling the need(le) for speed? Who will be able to pull off a 4g inverted dive with a MiG28? In other words - who is going to make it into next week's final?Challenge one: make a child's dress from a pattern So it would appear that making a child's smock dress is more difficult than flying a MiG28, which is saying something, considering they are not actually real planes. You have to fiddle around with endless rows of elastic and then use a hook to make your rouleau straps - unless you are Sandra, who broke ranks and made flat straps, simply because she thinks they are more robust. This was the Maverick within taking over, and it cost her. Stuart reflected on the last time he'd made a child's dress (it was 'revolting' apparently) and Lauren found herself feeling pressure to have an actual baby - which was ironic, because she won this challenge thanks to her 'exemplary straps' and having French seams 'smaller than Ann's'. Ann was not happy. She could have made her straps that small, she said. She just didn't. Got that, bitches?Challenge two: alter boring viscose shift dress As one might expect, Stuart went rogue on this challenge. Channelling Debbie Harry, he covered his dress in zips, pleating the sides in a rad zigzag effect and even considering a 'zip flower' at one point. Ann, dipping into the terrifying world of her sewing past, recalled the time she'd made herself a skirt out of her father's trousers and Lauren stared death in the face by cutting her dress in half and sewing it back together again. Everyone did well - although Patrick's critique of Stuart's Frankenstein's monster of a dress wasn't clearer than 'it kind of almost makes sense'.Challenge three: make a jacket What is 'boiled wool' when it's at home? If you want to find out, just ask Stuart to make you a jacket. This was an emotional round. Lauren cried pretty much all the way through it, while Sandra was unexpectedly delayed by having to over-lock her seams and Ann got all Chanel on yo' ass with her bouclé-tweed creation. Once again, she absolutely smashed it. It had 'vertical balance' and was of 'Savile Row standard', according to Patrick. Quite rightly, it won Best Piece. It practically won the Nobel Prize. Stuart didn't make it through, I am devastated to say. The judges praised him for 'bringing the fun back into sewing' and he gave such a sweet parting speech about how happy he'd been to communicate his joy through being creative and the friends he'd made for life that, OK, yes, I cried.The Great British Sewing Bee continues on Tuesdays on BBC Two.

Semi crash causes thousands of Arizona Green Tea cans to spill onto I-95 in Elkton
ELKTON, Fla. - Thousands of empty aluminum Arizona Green Tea cans spilled across Interstate 95 southbound near the State Road 207 overpass in a crash involving two semi trucks and a Toyota Camry on Monday night.
I-95 southbound was closed in the area and traffic had to be rerouted. Troopers had motorists get off I-95 at SR 207 and then get right back on I-95.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, a tractor-trailer driven by 33-year-old Daniel Nowlin of Richmond, Virginia, was traveling in the outside lane and a tractor-trailer driven by 58-year-old Emsy Dotson of Walnut Cove, N.C., was traveling behind Nowlin's vehicle.
Nowlin slowed and stopped due to a previous crash blocking the outside lane. Dotson swerved into the center lane to keep from colliding with Nowlin, but struck Nowlin's trailer, causing the trailer to open and spill the cans onto the roadway. Nowlin and Dotson were not injured.
The Toyota Camry, driven by 56-year-old Keith Poulsen of Port Orange, Fla., struck the back of Dotson's truck after it slid into the Camry's path. Poulsen was taken to Flagler Hospital with minor injuries.
Dotson has been charged with careless driving, according to an updated FHP report.
All lanes of I-95 at SR 207 opened at 12:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Thank you all for the pictures. Whilst looking at the pictures and looking them up I came across Lavatera tree mallow which I think might be easier for me to groom and a row of 3 or 4 might look quite splendid under the window.
I will now procrastinate.
Thankyou so much for the replies. I was not aware that it was a climber!!!!
The one you have sent a photo of is splendid.
I thought it was a small tree. Back to the drawing board I think.
Thank you both
My inner city front garden is about 10 foot square. I think that is about 3 metres. For the past 42 years I have just cut it or had it cut a couple of times a year.
I would like to plant a wisteria but I keep getting told that they are too big and too difficult to prune.
I hope someone can tell me of a species that will suit my little front garden.
My garden is quite small and I am surrounded by blocks of flats, low and high rise, which means we don't get airiness, The best place in my garden is full of successful plants so I don't want to upset any of them. I just wondered if a dramatic cut back would be good or bad. I managed to post a photograph to show how beautiful my Gertie is at her best in the spring. I think I will do the same as Tetley as keep spraying her.
I have had mould on my one climbing rose all summer. I blame the damp. I have sprayed it several times and taken off every single mouldy leaf and picked them up from the ground. Am I fighting a loosing battle? Should I prune it back to the basic shrub shape? or maybe dig it up. Or what?
It is a Gertrude Jekyll from David Austen that was bought as a rose bush but it kept throwing itself up so I gave in and gave it supports up the 6 foot fence, I will try to put in a photo of this. It was brilliant in the Spring.
I have followed this thread because my Jasmine has brown leaves...a bit but it has grown beautifully. It is only 3 years old and now covers a wall and over a fence and my neighbour loves it. It smells wonderful. I have always fed it with the same special food I give my clematis as the packet says it is for all climbers.
It just so happens that I also have an Erica and also special Erica food. On the label it says that this Erica food is good for other plants including dark green leaves which have gone yellow or brown due to iron deficiency.
How would I know if my Jasmine is iron deficient? Has anyone else tried Erica food for this problem?
I have heavy clay soil which tests as neutral.
Actually my garden is quite small but my neighbours garden is paved and so she loves anything that climbs over and spreads on her fences.
I have three other clematisuses(!!!) and they all are pruned to the height of my naval on St Valentines Day and they do very well on it so I did the same with the Montana and I should have checked more carefully..
I don't think I want to give up on it Fairygirl as it is my fault and there is plenty of fence space for it. It has a reprieve of one year!
Thank you for the quick replies.
Yes Holly Hock. I pruned it good and proper. Ooops.
I am so jealous Plant Pauper. I will trim it at the top of the fence but no more.
I think I will have to clear the larger cobbles off Ladybird4. The idea of the little patch is to be all white. I have three Kew that are absolutely gorgeous year after year and a Jasmine at one end that is a year old and that I did not prune.
Yes I do think I love this Montana too much. I will limit myself to morning chats with maybe added kickass!
Thanks again.
I planted this Clematis Montana Grandiflora in 2014.
It grows to over 8 feet and has loads of green.
However last year we got 2 flowers in May and this year we had one.
I feed it clematis food every 7 - 10 day and have substituted tomato/seaweed food once just for a change.
The position is sheltered west facing and I use mulch and also cobbles to keep the roots cool.
Heavy clay soil
Has anyone got any ideas on why this is not flowering?
The wall my jasmine is on is East facing and is in a small plot with 3 Kew shrubs and a white clematis. The Kew is thriving but a bit late this year so I suppose all the plants in my little white garden will be a bit late. I am so glad to hear that the bronzing is normal and I will follow your suggestions on feeding. Thank you Auntiemand

The induction of spinescence in European holly leaves by browsing ungulates

Evidence is presented which suggests that the spinescence of leaves of European holly, Ilex aquifolium, deters feeding by ungulates and is induced by browsing. Spinescence decreased as leaf size increased; hence, spinescence may be achieved by reducing adult leaf size. Holly shrubs with very spiny leaves were browsed less often than less spiny shrubs. In the absence of browsing ungulates during a one year period, the spinescence of leaves of holly shrubs significantly decreased. Browsed shrubs exhibited reduced annual shoot growth, increased branching, and produced smaller leaves with high spinescence. The regrowth on browsed branches of holly trees was characterized by increased leaf spinescence relative to unbrowsed branches. Hence, the induced response was localized, thereby reducing the ability of browsing ungulates to exert selective pressures on holly trees.

Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service!. Buchnummer des Verkäufers
Antonio Porchia (1886?1968) wrote one book, a slender collection of poetic aphorisms that became a classic in the Spanish-speaking world. With affinities to Taoist and Buddhist epigrams, Voices bears witness to the awe of human existence. Revised and updated with a new introduction by translator W.S. Merwin, this bilingual volume brings back into print one of Latin America?s great literary treasures.
He who tells the truth says almost nothing.
I know what I have given you. I do not know what you have received.
Only a few arrive at nothing, because the way is long.
Out of a hundred years a few minutes were made that stayed with me, not a hundred years.
When I come upon some idea that is not of this world, I feel as though this world had grown wider.
This world understands nothing but words, and you have come into it with almost none.
We become aware of the void as we fill it.
Antonio Porchia (1886?1968) was born in Italy. After his father died, he emigrated to Argentina with his mother and seven siblings, and as the eldest child, started working at the age of 14. He was self-taught, and his only book, Voices, caught the attention of a noted French critic who assumed him to be a scholar of Kafka and Buddhism, rather than the humble man who loved to tend his garden. Today, Porchia?s aphorisms are published in more than a dozen Spanish-language editions as well as in German, French and Italian.
W.S. Merwin?s awards include the Pulitzer Prize, the Tanning Prize, the Bollingen Award, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the NEA. He is the author of dozens of books of poetry and translations. He lives in Hawaii.
Über den Autor: W.S. Merwin is one of America's leading poets. His prizes include the 2005 National Book Award for his collected poems, Migration, the Pulitzer Prize, the Stevens Award, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and Lannan Foundation.

Buchbeschreibung Big Table Publishing Company, 1969. hardcover. Buchzustand: Very Good In Worn Dustjacket. 1st Edition. Chicago. 1969. Big Table Publishing Company. 1st American Edition. Very Good In Worn Dustjacket. 30. 64 pages. hardcover. Cover art - The gouache by Rene Magritte-Le Mat du Pays (1940). 0695891316. keywords: November 13. inventory # 8675. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is the first English translation of the lucid, enigmatic poems by Antonio Porchia-the great but little-known Argentine who died at 82 in 1968. Born in 1886 in Italy, Señor Porchia lived from 1911 in Buenos Aires, writing in Spanish and working as a potter or carpenter. The distinguished younger American poet W. S. Merwin has selected some 250 poems-often one or two line aphorisms-out of the 600 contained in the several editions of Voces which Señor Porchia published since 1943. Of the originality of these poems, Mr. Merwin comments in a succinct introduction: The aphorisms are not, in his view, compositions of his own so much as emanations which he has heard and set down. The fidelity of Porchias vision, and its personal embodiment in language, is too sharp, and frequently too desperate, to be tempted to homiletics. On the contrary, the distillate of suffering. is pure and profound irony- an irony not of defense but of acceptance. The first collection of Porchias VOICES appeared in Buenos Aires, in a private edition, in 1943, and attracted little attention. A copy was sent by the author to the French critic Roger Caillois, who was moved to translate a selection of the aphorisms and publish them, with an introduction, in 1949, The somewhat patronizing tone in which Caillois presented his discovery did not conceal a sense of having been given a rare and original work, and the aphorisms themselves, in his versions, found at the time a number of admirers in the French literary world. Caillois, wanting to find out what sort of man had written and sent this surprising volume, had looked into the matter and found myself in the presence of a man somewhere in his fifties, respectably-though neither studiously nor elegantly-dressed; a potter or carpenter by trade, I forget which, and self-employed, what is more; at once simple and shy, and altogether such that I assured myself, simply as a formality, first by means of certain subterfuges, and then quite openly, that he had never in his life heard of Lao-Tzu or Kafka, (By whom Caillois had suspected his unknown author to be influenced.) Judging by Caillois observations, the remarkable content of the Voices is iii a peculiarly pure sense the product of Porchias own non-literary experience. Of this, or of its circumstances, little is publicly known beyond a few facts so bare that they would fit on any tombstone, Antonio Porchia was born in Italy in 1886, lived in Argentina from 1911, and died in 1968, VOICES represents the whole of his writing-some six hundred entries in all, There have been several editions since the first one. The most recent (and in Porchias judgment the most complete, though it does not include some from the first collection) was published in 1966, and it is from this edition that the present selection has been made, Some of the entries, Porchia has stated, evolved over the course of years; some he has deleted in favor of later ones which, in his opinion, convey the same sense better, But the aphorisms themselves are not, in his view, compositions of his own so much as emanations which he has heard and set down. It is easy to see why Caillios might have imagined that Porchia owed something to certain Eastern texts, and perhaps to some moderns such as Kafka, A few of the aphorisms have close affinities with sentences from Taoist and Buddhist scriptures; others suggest, among the moderns, not only Kafka but Lichtenberg, or-to someone whose language is English-Blake. Caillois determining, to his own satisfaction, that Porchia was unfamiliar with such possible mentors is interesting, surprising, and in the end remains for the most part a matter of curiosity rather than a contribution to an assessment of.

I just bought a WD 640GB Essential. I manage to use it as target for my backup program "Acronis 2010" and as target for "WD Smartware".
I would like to make the drive bootable so that I would be able to Restore from Acronis backup and then retrieve from Smartware if my machine dies.
It would also be very nice to be able to retrieve my files from Smartware to a newly installed PC if my Acronis backup does not work as suggested.
If you backed up everything through Acronis, you should be able to do a full restore through it. And you should have been able to make the drive bootable through Acronis. However, if you've backed up all your files through SmartWare, then you should be able to retrieve them. However, you might have to retrieve them to a "Retrieve" folder in your Documents.

Babe in the woods
In the car Orson turned to Jeremy. Jeremy was still looking at Orson warily. But Orson did drag him to the car...and practically threw Jeremy into his seat. Orson's thrist was not rational right now. It didn't have the patience for Jeremy's slow swagger. But now that they were in the car Orson almost breathed easily. Blood was blood...if he chose to he could of drained Jeremy dry. But Vampires had a silent pact not to bite one another or humans. Bagged blood made drinking what it should be : a nourishing act.
Bagged blood would make them civilized, human. Soon they wouldn't have to hide or pretend they didn't care about having to hide. Human and vampire relations would not be so uncommon. Frowned upon. He could use human titles...Girlfriend, lover.. Do human things...Take his girlfriend to the movies or to dinner.
" What is with you tonight?" Jeremy disdainfully asked
Orson hit the gas and cleared his throat. When they were out of the parking lot he spoke.
He said ashamed " This is bloodlust. I've waited too long to feed"
" Bloodlust? I thought that kind of thing was only in movies"
Orson slowly turned to Jeremy. He wondered if there was a right way to ask this. Probably not vampires were such defenive creatures.
" What did your Sire teach you about feeding?" Orson asked
Jeremy just looked at him puzzled. Orson let out a puff of air and pulled at his hair. It was what he had thought...Jeremy had no idea about being a vampire. He was thrust into this world without a clue. Ofcourse Orson was just as clueless. Why didn't Steffan tell him. This wasn't like Steffan. And why would Steffan hand him a newby to train? That wasn't his job. He was an enforcer or an assasin. Orson was not a nurturer.

The Ruadh DeLone 'Angels' shoot stays true to the photographer's darker style. With bright-eyed children as his models, DeLone uses religious references and editing to create an unsettling feel within this spread.
While going through the series, one may notice a shift in mood from picture to picture. Some photos show an illuminated child with eyes raised, while others show a child that is almost completely blurred out by gray and black. Regardless, the Ruadh DeLone 'Angels' shoot still boasts impeccable editing skills and careful composition.

text: By now you must be treating your baby to a whole lot of vegetables and leafy green veggies like spinach. Leafy veggies are full of iron, and along with calcium, which is found in milk, your baby needs to eat leaves too. But many babies cringe at the taste of these leafy greens. A suggestion is that you mix and blend it up in the mixer, and whip them up into a nice, tasty smoothie. You could try giving spinach or even broccoli pureed nicely, mixed with some yoghurt to make it tasty.

Men In Black 3 - 'You Have These in the Future?' Movie Clip
Reported by Outsiders - 2012.05.02
J (Will Smith) and K (Josh Brolin) take off on their monocycles.
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. The film is directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. The screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. The producers are Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, and the executive producers are Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown.
"Men in Black III 3D" is scheduled for May 25th, 2012 and stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson, Alice Eve, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement, Rip Torn and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Walker casino attempts to add live betting on horse racing
WALKER - Visitors to the Northern Lights Casino Hotel and Events Center in Walker will be able to bet on horse racing if the plan is approved by regulators.
The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and Canterbury Park Holding Corp. announced Tuesday they have signed a deal to allow the band to offer simulcast wagering on horse races at the Walker casino.
Canterbury Park also will be able to offer larger purses.
The Minnesota Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, the Minnesota Quarter Horse Racing Association and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe also agreed to use profits from simulcast wagering at Northern Lights to increase purses at Canterbury Park.
This agreement between Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and Canterbury Park Holding Corporation requires the approval of the National Indian Gaming Commission and the Minnesota Racing Commission.

Audi reveals the gorgeous new interior of the upcoming third generation 2015 TT - Fully electronic instrument cluster
Last month AudiBoost posted spyphotos of the next generation Audi TT testing. The car looks great but as spyphotos usually go interior details are not visible. Well, Audi in a bit of a surprise move revealed the interior design early at CES (Consumer Electronics Show). Audi has a reputation for stellar interiors and the new TT certainly does not disappoint in this area. The leather is beautiful along with the quality of the accents and it is interesting to see Audi is going to a fully electronic gauge setup.
Not being able to see a needle manually sweep past numbers on the tach seems to a lose a classic design element. Maybe it is just nostalgia playing in here but it feels like something is lost. Regardless, expect to see most manufacturers go this route as cars continue to evolve into sophisticated computers.
The aftermarket will no doubt come up with creative ways to mess the screens and gauges despite the protections Audi puts in. It also begs the question as to how long until people start designing viruses specifically to wreak havoc with the MPH shown, mileage, fuel left, etc. This is the future though and there is no denying the beauty of the setup.

Puristic, sporty and clean Audi to present its new TT interior at the CES
-- New, slimline instrument panel with driver-focused display
-- Audi virtual cockpit and new MMI focus on intuitive use
-- Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg: "Enabling the driver to experience technology"
Puristic, sporty and fully focused on the driver for the new TT, Audi is significantly advancing its interior design. At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas held from January 6 through 10, 2014 the brand with the four rings will, for the first time, be presenting the compact sports car's new interior, which will be launched on the market in the course of the year.
As Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development says, "The first Audi TT was the design icon per se, the second generation was even sportier, right through to the TT RS plus with its five-cylinder TFSI and 360 hp. And with the new Audi TT, the driver will be able to experience the technology to an even greater extent just as would be expected from a genuine sports car. And it comes with a new generation of electronics and connectivity features."
For this reason, the Audi virtual cockpit is the focus of attention for the first time in one of the brand's production models. The fully digital instrument cluster displays all the information directly in front of the driver, meaning that there is no need for a central MMI monitor. This solution gave the designers the freedom to slim down the instrument panel architecture such that it visually conveys the Audi lightweight construction principle.
With its clear lines and innovative operation, the interior of the next TT generation has been redesigned from the ground up. From above, the instrument panel resembles an airplane wing; set low and with a turbine look about them, the round air nozzles, a classic TT feature, are reminiscent of jet engines. The controls for the air conditioning are also housed in the vents the adjustment functions for seat heating, and for the temperature, direction and strength of the flow of air are located in their axes, with small displays indicating the chosen setting. Located beneath the central air nozzles, the switches for the hazard warning light and the secondary functions are centrally positioned and easily accessible.
With its brilliant graphics with a 3D impression and highly-detailed effects, the Audi virtual cockpit with its 12.3-inch TFT monitor sets new standards. Drivers can switch between two display modes. In the classic view, the speedometer and rev counter are in the foreground, while in "infotainment" mode, the virtual instruments are smaller. The space that is then created offers ample display space for functions such as the navigation map.
All elements of the new Audi TT operating concept are focused on the driver. The compact sports car's new multifunction steering wheel features a flat-bottomed rim, with aluminum-look clips framing its spokes. The buttons and controls on the spokes allow you to control almost all functions, including the ultra-modern infotainment system. The menu is structured to reflect that of a smartphone and includes a full-text search function (MMI search). All the main functions are just a few clicks away the entire operation superbly conveys a new kind of "joy of use". The MMI terminal on the center tunnel console, the second control unit alongside the steering wheel, has also been exhaustively redeveloped. Thanks to the MMI touch, the driver can scroll and zoom in lists and on maps. And accessing other options has been simplified; in future this will be possible using just two rather than four buttons in the area surrounding the rotary pushbutton.
The innovations in the Audi TT interior include the S sport seats with their significantly curved side bolsters, the integrated headrests and the low seating position typical of a sports car. The slender character of the seats is emphasized by bezels on the flanks of the backrest and a cover on the back; the backrest is adjusted using a loop. The side bolsters of the S sport seats can be adjusted pneumatically.
With its clear, sharp lines, the interior as a whole perfectly expresses the new Audi TT's sporty nature. The center tunnel console, that supports the lower leg when driving fast through a bend, and the door panels boast flowing mutually-reinforcing contours. All the details highlight Audi's attention to quality from the design of the gear knob and the precise functioning of the rotary pushbutton to the Audi virtual cockpit.
That is sick. I love the GPS in the cluster, perfect place for it. The air vents look huge and should be more flush with the dash imo. I hope they put in a heads up display that is optional and configurable.
I will miss analog gauges but not for longE92 Bren Tune / E90 PTF Tune / E70 Twin Turbo Diesel JBD

That's different, looks pretty good, just not sure how I feel about the vents. Really like the dash, it's just what we've seen coming for the past few years from different manufacturers, gauges are ok, hopefuly customizable as they look small. Definitely not the first to have a full screen gauge cluster, and knew this would start coming from more manufacturers. Realistically BMW could have easily moved the screen in the e9x 3 series to the gauge cluster location and just integrated gauges into it
I still prefer this though....lol
2009 335i coupe back to stock...for now
Love the idea and design but imho having the gps in the cluster is a recipe for more accidents. Would you feel safe if some lost idiot was staring down it their cluster and eyes off the road? Even if its for a second an accident can occur.08 335i | Space Gray | Burl Walnut Wood Trim | Sport pkg | Premium Pkg | LOGIC7 | Navi | Comfort Access

Very impressive. To me the current Audi interior designs have gotten stale over the last few years. it's nice to see them take a huge step forward with this one. I agree there's something to be said for analog gauges, but we all know they're all needles being controlled by the ECU. I think the display resolutions are now such that the virtual dash won't seem so obsolete as quickly as in the past with some nav/audio displays. Hopefully they will put some effort into keeping older models fresh with revised displays over the lifespan of the car.Current: '00 S2000

There appear to be more settings for this dashboard. You apparently can also sitch to the classic cluster setup if you want to.
This is "just" the infotainment setting displayed here.
I think this looks awesome, but some numbers in the speedo ring woold have been nice.
If the screen handling is sharp there is no added value in analog meters at all.

I love this. It's amazing, I can't wait till this roles out to all the models. The HVAC controls are genius, I must confess that I've never thought of that. Very good job. I too love analogue needles more than anything. I think the current BMW setup is the best compromise if you like that...big LCD panel but with mechanical needles. This design would have been cool with that but I can get over the fact that it isn't. Now this puts the A8 in the awkward position of having a way-outdated infotainment system, despite being the flagship.

Northeastern University, Boston, MA
Discrepancy regarding optimal sternal precautions (SP) exists with many rehabilitation professionals (RP) uncertain about best practice to ensure patient safety and proper progression after a median sternotomy (MS). The purpose of this study was to survey US cardiothoracic surgeons (CTS) about the SP that they provide to patients with a goal of developing universal SP to optimize patient function and decrease secondary impairments after a MS.
A survey instrument consisting of 20 questions underwent extensive development and testing (2 pilot runs) prior to the administration of the survey to 1,000 CTS randomly taken from a convenience sample of 3,000 CTS who were members of the American College of Surgeons. The survey was mailed with return postage rather than being electronically administered in hopes of a greater response rate. A reminder postcard was sent 2 weeks after the initial mailing.
Despite the response rate being surprisingly low (10%), the survey results were very consistent among the respondents. The greatest percentage of respondents was from the Northeast and Southeast regions of the US (33%). The mean respondent age and years of surgical experience were 42 ± 25 and 20 ± 18 years, respectively. The mean number of MS performed per week was 6 ± 14 with the most common reason for MS being bypass graft surgery (60%). The top five SP in descending order were (1) lifting no more than 10 pounds of weight bilaterally, (2) lifting no more than 10 pounds of weight unilaterally, (3) bilateral sports restrictions, (4) unilateral sports restrictions, and (5) active bilateral shoulder flexion no greater than 90 degrees. Ninety-five percent of CTS provide patients education materials on SP.
Despite a relatively poor response rate, consistent survey results identified the top five SP which provides RP with useful information to optimize patient function and decrease secondary impairments after a MS.
Optimal implementation of SP by RP should incorporate the top five SP reported by CTS after a MS.

Gaylan's Dreamcatcher JH WC CCA CGC TT
|Dreamer stayed here at Gaylan with her dam, Gayle, Andy and the other girls. She started her competitive career in the field and came home with two Junior Hunter legs her first weekend out.
Dreamer then tackled the American Temperament Test Society test, which is a standardized all-breed temperament evaluation focused on assessing stability. Dreamer did a great job, handling all aspects of the test well and coming home with a TT title. She thought the friendly stranger and gun shots were very cool and the crazy and aggressive stranger not worth her time. She was startled at the bucket of rocks and umbrella but dove into both of them (and I believe into the lap of the person behind the umbrella) after a second. If you've never participated in an ATTS test with your dog, I highly recommend it.
Dreamer passed the GRCA's Certificate of Conformation Assessment (CCA) in May 2011 under breeder-judges, Cindy Partridge, Cindy Williamson and Janice Provenzano. Dreamer finished her Junior Hunter in style in July 2011 and earned her GRCA Working Certificate in Oct 2011. She's training for Senior hunt tests and getting started in agility and obedience.

This is a bunny that fell dead at my feet, sorry. Had to be done.
Harry gathered his impressive strength and prepared to cast the final spell of his incredibly complicated and draining ritual.
Several hours passed since he started chanting the hundred and one exacting spells needed for the seemingly impossible task.
Several weeks passed since he began carefully carving the thousands of intricate patterns of runes and archaic symbols covering the marbled floor of the enormous, purpose-built chamber.
Several years passed since first he dreamt up the insane idea and began raiding the deepest, darkest basements of the world's myriad of magical storehouses for knowledge nobody ever before assembled into a single coherent whole.
Several decades passed since his wonderful world and perfect life came crashing down around him, taking his not-so-faithful wife and their beloved children onto the next great adventure without him and leaving behind a bitter, destitute warlock, alone in an uncaring reality.
An immeasurable time of agony passed since Harry Potter's mind followed his heart into the black depths of desolate oblivion.
Now he was mere moments from performing the single greatest act of magic ever attempted. Raising the fabled Atlantis or uncovering the lost path to Avalon were silly, childish games in comparison; building massive Pyramids with a single spell, or cracking the moon in twain, unworthy of mention in the same breath.
For Harry was not just going to attempt an incredible feat of skill and power, he was going to challenge the power and control of the fates themselves. He was going to go back in time, back to where it all began for him, back to the day he turned eleven and met one of the few friends to never betray his trust or love.
Poor, old Hagrid.
They said his mind was gone long before the Dementors returned to their posts, but that was no comfort. How anybody ever managed to convict the gentle half-giant was beyond Harry, but his horrible demise still burnt like a newly stoked fire in Harry's heart and soul.
Now Harry would have a chance to set things right. He would return his lifetime of memories and all of his magical skill and power to his younger self, and from that day onward, everything would be different.
There would be no friendship with the pretender Ron, or his potion wielding family. Nor would any stuck-up, know-it-all Mudblood get away with deriding him at every turn and secretly undermining his relationships with others.
Certainly there would be no manipulative old codger twisting and weaving the threads of people's lives with the casual disregard of ancient crones knitting socks.
After a suitably fitting period of excruciating torture and torment, a certain snake-faced bastard and his lackeys would no longer be capable of freely running around slaughtering parents and ruining the lives of innocent children.
And the streets of Surrey would run red with the blood of a certain, absurdly, normal family.
No, this time he would truly be ready. This time he would make sure everybody got their dues, and nothing would stop him from becoming the god of vengeance reborn.
With a final yelled incantation, Harry completed the mammoth task. Magic crackled and burned as he forced it to do his bidding. Rifts in time and space opened up, tearing the very fabric of existence in an effort to follow the unyielding and absolute commands of the complex spell weaving.
Harry himself fell to the floor; pain so great he could not scream for relief lacing through his veins and boiling his life-blood away.
Eye-searingly bright lightning raged in massive tongues of destruction about the warded circle like a curtain of pure might and power. Tidal waves of gilded fire burst from the ancient druidic stones surrounding him, scolding the essence of the all encompassing ether unlike anything ever before.
Then, with a final, unholy cry of anguish, Harry arched his back and turned his face to the sky, thick arterial blood pouring from his mouth and eyes, and died.
Right across the vast expanses of the island universe, a silent, terrifying shudder rocked the foundations of all that is, shaking every atom and iota of energy as an impossible paradox strived for creation.
As his bloody, ravaged corpse fell limply to the burning floor, the glittering jewel that is all of creation flickered once, and then vanished from reality, never to exist again.
Finite Incantatem.

Synopsis for "The Holland Mind"
An aspect of the Holland Mind takes the form of a children's cartoon personality, Willie the Crow. It reaches out to a nine-year-old Alec Holland and attempts to explain everything that has happened to his consciousness ever since his ordeal with Sargon the Sorcerer and the Great Release. Young Alec experiences visions of his own future wherein he first becomes the Swamp Thing. Young Alec recoils from the vision, and a part of his subconscious knows that this incident represents the most defining characteristic of his entire life. The Swamp Thing however is not prepared to reconstitute his full identity and dismisses these fresh perceptions given to him by the Holland Mind.

Lewis: Learning the truth
"Again!" Jonas bellowed, his voice reaching the opposite side of the open field our regiment was using for drills. There were about twenty of us or so, including Luke and myself. About half way across the distance of the field, I stopped running. I bent over, placing my hands on my knees, panting.
"I can't do anymore of these," I said, barely able to speak. Luke stopped and came back to me, grabbing me by my arm, attempting to drag me back into motion. But, I wouldn't allow him. "No, I can't do anymore."
"You know Jonas will make an example of you like he did to that poor fellow last week," Luke reminded me.
"He can try," I uttered, mostly under my breath.
I had joined the army to kill some Handrin soldiers, to do something about my country's predicament besides standing back, hearing my father go on about the sorry affairs of our defense.
My father, Bernard Evans, was on the Iberan War Committee (or IWC for short). The members on the committee often disagreed about what to do with Handrin constantly encroaching upon our territory. My father had always been in favor of more direct action.
Even still, he had been mixed about my decision to join the army, informing me that the army was the last place for a member of the Evans family. Not only had our family been key in the revolution that gave Ibera the level of freedom that we currently were still fighting for, but the importance of our family was evident even in the earliest records of the kingdom of Handrin. In other words, we had always been in the lime light, members of our family helping shape the direction of the region. Common soldiers we were not.
I joined the army despite my father's reasonings. However, his words did not reach deaf ears. I had heard every word, in fact. I didn't see any danger in joining. If things got dangerous, I would simply use my surname to elevate myself to a position of importance once again. That time seemed to be coming sooner than I thought it would.
"Evans. Elliot," Jonas screamed. "Get moving or else."
"Now is not the time to .... " Luke didn't finish his sentence. Instead, he started running again, leaving me behind.
Some friend, I thought, but I couldn't blame him. The Elliots weren't anybody important, so there was nothing he could do to protect himself. When I didn't start running again, Jonas headed in my direction.
He never made it to me, though. A courier came running out of the tree line, heading straight for him. There was a short conversation between the two of them. Then, Jonas yelled, "Elliot, report to the regiment commander."
Jonas tried to prevent me going with Luke, but I placed my hand in his face and left anyway. "I will have your head," Jonas yelled as Luke and I left the field, heading back to camp.
"What do you think this is about?" I asked, still panting. Luke was definitely in better shape than I was. Life on the farm, I thought.
"It must be important to pull us ... me ... off drills," he replied, slowing his pace not one bit. In fact, I had to speed up somewhat to keep up.
"Maybe this war is finally going to get started," I commented, hoping that I would get the chance to use my status to demote Jonas to cook or something.
When we reached the commander's tent, Luke was allowed in, but the guard placed his hand in front of me, preventing me from going in.
"You are not authorized, soldier," he declared in a flat tone.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?"
"I don't care if you are the richest farmer in Ibera. You are not going in."
Sebastian, our regiment commander, popped his head out of the tent and stated, "His father would never forgive me or let me forget it if I didn't include young Lewis here in the discussion. Let him in."
"Yes, sir," the guard said, jerking his body into a formal salute. I sneered at him as I entered the tent.
There were several people standing around the commander's desk, a candle illuminating most of the space. Mr. Elliot, Luke's father, was among them as well as a couple of men I did not recognize. In the corner of the tent stood another man whom I could not see, the candle light not reaching his face.
Pointing in the direction of one of the men I did not recognize, the commander said, "This is Fredrick, one of our couriers and a spy." He paused before saying the word spy, obviously cautious of revealing that detail.
"He has delivered some interesting information," the commander continued. "Mr. Elliot. Luke. It affects you directly."
"Is there something wrong back at the farm?" Luke asked.
"Everything is fine on the home front as far as we know," the commander replied. "I will not beat around bush." He paused, lowering his head in thought. When he raised his head again, his expression had changed somewhat. I couldn't tell if he was mad or sad. Perhaps a little of both, I decided.
"Jon Hanway recruited some women to help him spy on Handrin, including your sister Katrina, my sister Alex, and Eliza, the daughter of Sir Frances." The news was received with silence. Mr. Elliot was breathing hard but remained composed. Luke, however, was not so adult about the situation.
"How dare he!" Luke exclaimed. "We trusted him so much, and he did this to us."
The commander softened his expression somewhat as he spoke up again. "The blame game can happen later, but that is just the first part of recent developments. His plan worked."
"What do you mean?" I asked, glad to find a spot to join the conversation.
"Alex and Eliza infiltrated the court of Handrin and have relayed a message," the commander continued. "There has been a problem, though."
When the commander didn't tell us what the problem was, both Luke and I spoke up at the same time. The commander did not reply to our inquiries. Instead, he looked in the direction of the man standing in the shadows, who stepped out, revealing himself to us.
"Sir Frances," I said with a slight bow. "We could not see who was in the corner."
"That was on purpose, young Mr. Evans," Sir Frances replied.
"If I may be so bold, sir," I said with my head still bowed in a show of respect, "what has happened?"
"Jon has not heard from Alexandra or Eliza in quite some time."
