The R8 Spyder delivers a holistic exterior design with integrated side air intakes that replace the sideblades in order to accommodate the soft top roof. The soft top opens and closes neatly in 19 seconds at up to speeds of 31 mph. The soft top enables tighter packaging when folded and lowers the center of gravity versus a hard top convertible design. The cover for the top is made of a carbon fiber composite, further reducing weight, while triple layer insulation minimizes cabin noise and insulates against cold and heat. The heated rear glass window is integrated into the bulkhead and can be raised and lowered via a switch. An aluminum optic A-pillar and windshield surround add a unique design element visible primarily when the top is down.
The interior of the R8 fully complements the exterior. Sleek and artful, the most prominent feature of the R8 interior is the monoposto design that features a large archsweeping around the dashboard. With the wheels pushed to far corners of the R8, its maximized wheelbase provides a comparatively generous amount of interior space. Seats are constructed of either leather / Alcantara®for the 4.2 or Nappa leather in the 5.2. Thermal-resistant leather used for seats in the Spyder lowers the surface temperature by up to 68 degrees on hot, sunny days. Available leather options abound, allowing owners to customize the R8 to their personal tastes. Other personalization is available with the selection of carbon fiber Sigma interior inlays, door sills and available illuminated door sill inserts displaying the R8 model insignia.
The R8 features advanced technologies for which Audi has become known, including available Audi MMI®, available Audi MMI Navigation plus, and an available Bang & Olufsen®Sound System. The Bluetooth®microphone of the Spyder is integrated into the seatbelt to minimize wind noise while speaking via the Bluetooth system.
ASF construction increases stability and provides an extremely rigid body shell, plus specially constructed front and rear energy absorbing zones provide protection in the event of a collision. ESC contributes to stability, and vehicle occupants are protected by a full complement of air bags, including front, seat and chest side, and knee airbags. A tire pressure monitoring system ensures that owners are warned if pressure falls below a preset threshold.

This necklace is so cute and the bag it's packaged in is equally adorable! We ordered the pink, and it matches so many items from the fall collection and collections past. My only complaint is that the pom part came very squished and flat. However, after working with it for a bit it looks just fine. I just don't think it will truly ever look as perfect and fluffy as the photos though. All in all, my daughter is in love with it, which is the most important part to me!

WRVO – Family members of people who were imprisoned under New York's harsh Rockefeller-era drug laws are disappointed that the state legislature failed this year to reform the 30-year-old law.
But they're not giving up, according to this report from WRVO's Chris Ulanowski.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Natural Gas Country Notes
Proved recoverable reserves (bcm) |
2 754 |
Production (net bcm, 2005) |
73.8 |
R/P ratio (years) |
33.4 |
The Indonesian WEC Member Committee reports proved recoverable gas reserves as 97.26 tscf (2 754 bcm), 26% higher than those advised for the 2004 Survey of Energy Resources. There has been a noticeable convergence in other published assessments of Indonesia's proved reserves, which at the time of preparation of the 2004 SER varied widely, broadly ranging from 2 100 to 3 800 bcm. End-2005 assessments are all close to the level reported for the present Survey.
Indonesia's gas production is the highest in Asia. The main producing areas are in northern Sumatra, Java and eastern Kalimantan.
Exports of LNG from Arun (Sumatra) and Bontang (Kalimantan) to Japan began in 1977-1978. Indonesia has for many years been the world's leading exporter of LNG. Shipments in 2005 were chiefly to Japan (60%) but also to the Republic of Korea (24%) and Taiwan, China (16%). Indonesia exports about half of its marketed production, including (from early 2001) supplies by pipeline to Singapore (4.8 bcm in 2005).
The principal domestic consumers of natural gas (apart from the oil and gas industry) are power stations and fertiliser plants: the residential and commercial sectors have relatively small shares.

You might see it in your neighborhood right around dusk.
A truck, sometimes an ATV, rolling through the streets and the wooded spaces in between as it sprays a fine mist - a pesticide meant to kill mosquitoes.
"We only spray when it's absolutely necessary," said the man who does the spraying, Matthew Stough, Adams County's West Nile Virus program coordinator.
Spraying is a last resort to control populations of mosquitoes infected with the West Nile virus, he said.
West Nile first was found in Pennsylvania in 2000, and since then, permethrin-based sprays have been used to kill off the mosquitoes to prevent the virus from spreading from infected mosquitoes to humans.
Amanda Witman, spokeswoman with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, said this year is shaping up to be is the worst year the state has seen for West Nile virus, and with more positive mosquito samples being found, comes more spraying. Some residents are concerned about what exactly is being sprayed in their neighborhoods.
Is it safe?
Permethrin is the active ingredient in sprays used in West Nile virus programs around the state, according to the DEP. It is a commonly used pesticide that acts as a neurotoxin, and is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA says permethrin is a likely carcinogen due to two benign tumor types found in mice that was reproducible in testing. But the EPA says the benefits of permethrin's use for public health, like controlling mosquito populations, outweighs any risk it may pose.
Witman of the state DEP said permethrin has a low toxicity level, and is used in low doses to fight mosquitoes. There have been no reported cases of human or pet illnesses or deaths due to permethrin in Pennsylvania's West Nile program, she said.
Permethrin even appears in many common flea and tick treatments for pets, but Dr. Brian Jenkins, veterinarian and co-owner of Aloha Animal Hospital in Hanover, warns that it can be lethal for cats.
"For dogs, it's OK at the right percentage," he said. "But there is no reason it should be used on cats."
Cats are sensitive to it, he said. Permethrin acts as a toxin that attacks a cat's central nervous system, and can cause seizures, shaking, and sometimes death.
Jenkins recommends keeping cats indoors during spraying, and keeping them away from the sprayed area until it dries.
Additionally, warnings on the label of some permethrin-based products state that it is harmful to fish and aquatic life.
Stough says while it has a low toxicity level, it's still a chemical, and people should try to avoid it and stay indoors during spraying. When he conducts spraying activities, Stough said he stops the mist when he sees people or animals, and makes sure not to spray within 500 feet of a body of water.
"We're all biologists; we care about what's out there," Stough said.
Stough's sprays are 10 times safer than caffeine, he said. His permethrin products have a lethal dose, or LD 50, of 2,000, meaning 50-pecent of the test population of mice died when the product was used at a ratio of 2,000 milliliters of the chemical per kilogram of body weight in the subject.
The LD 50 of caffeine is 200 milligrams of chemical per one kilogram of body weight, meaning it takes 10 times less of the substance to be toxic.
Additionally, the amount of the product he uses to kill mosquitoes is sprayed at what the industry calls ultra-low volumes, he said. He sprays about 1.46 ounces per acre - a little more than a shot glass-full, he said.
Why spray?
This year of all years, spraying operations are necessary, and Stough said it's difficult to keep up.
Stough sets mosquito traps in locations of reported mosquito populations, then collects the trapped mosquitoes, and sends them to DEP to be tested.
More positive samples than ever are coming back, he said, and he's worried that someone will get sick soon. So far this year, Pennsylvania has had eight human cases of West Nile virus.
Adams County has had 248 positive samples found in mosquitoes, but no human cases. Adams County has by far the most positive samples found in the state, followed by York County with 210.
Last year, Adams County had 61 positive samples, and York County had 135
Since West Nile came to Pennsylvania a dozen years ago, there have been 25 deaths in the state, with the last coming in 2008. Three of those deaths were in York County, and none were in Adams.
Stough said he sprays only when necessary - when he believes an active population of mosquitoes with the West Nile virus poses a threat, and people will get sick if he does not spray.
"The spray's risk to people is minimal compared to the risk of getting West Nile," Stough said. "When we spray, the virus levels are very high. That's part of the risk assessment we do."
He believes part of the problem with West Nile and its public perception is that most people don't know someone who has had it, as opposed to an illness like Lyme disease. Additionally, about 80 percent of the people who contract West Nile never know it, and show none of the flu-like symptoms.
"But those other 20 percent are miserable," he said.
And a portion of those can be fatal, or have lasting effects.
Stough encourages everyone to report mosquito populations to him by calling 334-0636, ext. 341. He asks people to look around their yards, and get rid of standing water where mosquitoes tend to breed and live.
People can use personal insect repellents, and avoid being out at dusk during peak feeding times.

Anyone who wants to be notified of mosquito spraying in their area can sign-up for e-mail notifications at www.westnile.state.pa.us.
The next rounds of mosquito spraying by Adams County's West Nile Virus program are set for Monday and Tuesday in McSherrystown and Conewago Township.

Illinois State Course System (ISCS)
Webinars and Workshops
Webinar and Presentation Archive
Webinar and Workshop Schedule
District staff will match local course numbers to the corresponding Illinois School Course Codes. The Illinois School Course Codes are based on the Secondary School Course Classification System: School Codes for the Exchange of Data codes, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, which can be located at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007341.
This NCES data handbook outlines a system for assigning standard codes to secondary school courses in 22 major subject areas. It also includes a content description for each course and instructions on how to use the system in coding courses.
After completing a crosswalk between local district course codes and the Illinois Course Codes, districts will upload new course data elements linked to individual student records in the Illinois Student Information System (SIS) by July 31, 2011.
ISBE held an orientation webinar in early October to answer general questions and provide an overview of the process. A final webinar was offered on November 16, 2010 to assist districts with additional questions regarding the Coding Project.
No trainings scheduled |

Where it said "Ambulance" they spray painted "EX" before it, anyway, me and my mate who was with me thought it would be a cool name for our band (that we never really did make) so we called ourselves "Ex Ambulance".

I think the whole idea of race was invented by racist people, we have lighter colour skin cause we are in a colder country, we have adapted to meet our enviroments.
With the exception of africans and aboriginal people, all other people on the planet share the same mix of dna and genes with stuff just turned on or off.
If we have reached a point where our evolution no longer needs to worry about keeping pale skin because its cold or dark skin because its hot then it would be small minded to hold onto those things for some astethic purpose.
Also, its quite likely that darker people will get lighter, white is the colour our skin evolves to when it has no external factors to worry about. Its likely even african will eventually become white skinned as they leave the sun and become indoors people who have chemicals to proetect their skin.

Do you think in the future as in a few hundred years that humans will one day just become one race as in there will be no black, white or Asian?
Yes, unless there are boundaries (either natural or artificial).
There aren't really any natural boundaries any more (i.e. Oceans and deserts that seperated races are no longer an issue). The only real question is artificial boundaries, such as social factors.

No we wouldn't. Lions and Tigers are a different species and can't produce viable offspring.

DIY LEGO Superhero Halloween costumes gallery
Last year, my family took the time to build our own Halloween costumes from scratch. We chose LEGO Superheroes, and It was a daunting task. We put in the time, though, and in the end, we had some amazing costumes when it was time to party. We're working on our full tutorial of how you can build your own LEGO Superhero costume like ours, and you don't even have to be Batman, Spider-Man, or Supergirl--this works for any character you can think of! While we put the finishing touches on that one, why not check out our LEGO Superhero Halloween costume gallery, where we captures each step of the process?

HEAD TO HEAD - TOWN V BOURNEMOUTH: A history of goals
6:00am Friday 21st September 2012 in Sport
SWINDON and Bournemouth share a rich history, dating all the way back to the Cherries' first visit to the County Ground in August 1923.
Then Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, the away side were sent home point-less courtesy of Jack Johnson's hat-trick in a 3-1 Town win.
Since then the south coast club have made the trip to Wiltshire on 52 further occasions in the league.
The Cherries lost on their first four visits to the County Ground, including an 8-2 mauling in January 1926 which remains Bournemouth's biggest ever defeat to the Robins.
After finally breaking their duck with a 4-3 FA Cup win at SN1 in November 1926, Bournemouth went winless in Wiltshire for another eight years.
However, since the Second World War the two teams have been fairly evenly matched when they have met in Swindon.
Don Rogers made a happy habit of scoring against the Cherries at the County Ground, as, to be honest, he did against the majority of clubs at the time, registering in three successive clashes between 1967 and 1969.
If the events of recent years are anything to go by, this particular match can be relied on for goals.
There have been at least three in each of the past five meetings of the sides in Wiltshire, with Town scoring four in consecutive games in 2006 and 2007.

With the improvements of CCTV etc. security is noe much better, hopefully none of us will ever have to see such disgusting behaviour again from any club supporters visiting SN1.

MSU junior Allison Yu, right, serves freshman Monica Dickow at Brody dining hall last week. MSU reports record enrollment this fall. It is expected to top 49,300 this year, an increase of 1 percent from last year. (David Coates / The Detroit News)
As enrollment counts roll in at Michigan public universities this fall, some schools are announcing record figures as out-of-state students boost campus populations.
Schools with all-time highs range from the state�s largest university � Michigan State University � to smaller schools like the University of Michigan-Flint and Eastern Michigan and Grand Valley State universities.
The drivers of this trend are numerous, officials say, but what stands out is the growth of out-of-state and international students as the percentage of in-state students declines.
This shift occurs as multiple issues collide in higher education, especially Michigan�s need for a more educated populace and dramatic reductions in governmental support to universities. Such aid cuts result in students shouldering a greater share of tuition; out-state and international students pay higher rates, which helps schools� bottom line.
Many in higher education believe university enrollment growth and diversification is a positive phenomenon for Michigan.
�A majority of our graduates, whether (they are from) Michigan or out of state, stay here after they complete their degrees,� said Matthew McLogan, vice president of university relations at GVSU, which enrolled a record 4,124 freshmen, plus 1,260 out-of-state and 378 international students. �We like to think we are a net importer of talent, and that helps a state with a declining population.�
Earlier this year, the Detroit Regional Chamber released a survey of graduates at the state�s 15 public universities showing that 63 percent of young mobile talent stayed in Michigan six months after commencement � up from 51 percent in 2007.
Of those graduates who remained in Michigan, 71 percent attended a Michigan high school while nearly 25 percent were from outside the state.
�Michigan residents are staying here more than out-of-state or international students,� said Kurt Metzger, director emeritus of Data Driven Detroit, a data analysis organization.
�It is helpful for the state to bring in out-of-state and international students. Michigan needs to import folks since we are aging. But we have to do a better job of holding on to them.�
The universities are competing for a smaller pool of high school graduates each year. The number of Michigan students receiving high school diplomas peaked at 123,576 in 2008, and is projected to slip below 90,000 in the next 15 years, according to a report issued earlier this year by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education.
At most Michigan universities, the official head counts occurred last month, so some schools haven�t yet released final enrollment figures, and those that have stress the numbers are preliminary. Most schools with record enrollments attribute it to their programs, facilities and brand recognition.
Overall, enrollment is up at the state�s 15 public universities over the past several years, increasing nearly 4 percent between 2007 and 2011, according to a July report by the Senate Fiscal Agency.
During the same time, in-state students decreased 4 percent while outstate and international students each increased about 1 percent.
Out-of-state and international students pay double or even triple the tuition cost of an in-state student.
Tuition is nearly $13,000 for a resident freshman at MSU, where enrollment is expected to be 49,300 this year. Out-of-state and international students pay about $35,000.
The price difference is similar at other universities.
The rise in non-Michigan enrollment is complex, and isn�t attributable simply to a small population of students who pay more, said Jim Cotter, MSU admissions director.
Even if it could, out-of-state students will never make up for the billions lost in state funding over the decades.
�When you look at nonresident tuition, that is part of the equation,� Cotter said. � ... There are so many influences, anything from a program, to retention efforts to graduation rates rates ... there are so many factors.�
At MSU, enrollment is expected to top 49,300 this year, an increase of 1 percent from 48,906 last year.
The boost came from out-of-state students, up 3 percent from 5,748 to 5,928 � and international students, who grew 9 percent � from 6,599 to 7,163. In-state students fell 1 percent, from 36,559 to 36,252.
Nonresident students are not coming to Michigan universities and taking spots from in-state residents, said Mike Boulus, director of the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan. With the exception of MSU and U-M, the state�s other 13 public universities have room to grow.
However, many in-state students aren�t academically ready to attend a four-year university immediately upon graduating, Boulus said. Often, such students start at community colleges and then transfer.
�No one is turning back qualified in-state students,� he said.
EMU is among the schools that can�t point to nonresident students as factors for growth. At the Ypsilanti school, where incoming freshmen reached a record this year of 2,872 students, international enrollment is flat. Meanwhile, EMU has focused on Ohio residents and offered them in-state tuition.
Among the exceptions to the growing enrollment trend are Wayne State and Central Michigan universities and the state�s 28 community colleges.
WSU�s enrollment is down again this year to 27,897, a decrease of 10 percent since 2009, when enrollment was 30,820, and a 4 percent drop in the past year alone.
Wayne State officials attribute the drop this fall to a new admissions policy that tightened academic standards. Even so, the school�s international student population jumped 15 percent since last year.

Recently I noticed a trend with some of my PSN e-fwiends, in which their children play games on their account. You may say "fair enough", I say "maybe there is a scheme going on here".
These games obviously have trophies, maybe this isn't simple, "oh my kid wants to play this game", I say this is obvious trophy boosting, which isn't right. What is worse, if the adult is making the child play easy trophies game and bribing them with sweets & the threat of a sugar withdrawn to stop them from speaking out?
This isn't acceptable and we must do something!
Not only is it not morally right, but easy trophy games are given a bad name

I wish the controllers still had cables so I could use it to whip mine until they had earned at least a silver. If they earn a gold they may take 6 hours leave to get some sleep.

They are given a bad name because they deserve it! I know, ive played them in my trophy hunting days..
I think since trophies came out, more adults than kids.. have played them. We give them to kids to play so they can enjoy them not to get our trophies for us. We can shamefully do that ourselves ! but I guess those who wont admit to playing Hanna Montanna will say it was there daughter who played it ! I have no kids.. I have no excuse

Lol, true
Just wait until no 2 is old enough. It'll be raining plattys

I have the long charging cables, works quite well
@joeboro, I wouldn't stoop so low as to introduce Hana Montana to the kids!!
on 08-05-2012 03:40 PM
What's worse?
Adults that enslave their children to play their games to get easy trophies, against their will, leaving them socially crippled and allergic to sunlight, or...
Adults that pretend it was their child that played an easy game, when it was actually the adult and are just too ashamed to admit it?

"Pesticide makes bees forget the scent for food, new study finds" http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013...ood-neocotinoid |
Mekigal | Posted on Jun 10 2012, 11:34 PM | ||
it is over blown rhetoric. Yeah there is and potential , but over blown to the circle of influence dooms dayers. How do I know ? Melissa my information source . She is a bee keeper and has been for a long long time . I trust her and her new husband . Both bee Keepers . So yeah nasty mites , Nasty tree beetles and worms but part of the evolutionary processes at work in the world . Like the pine bark beetle . I doubt very much this is the first time something like this has happened on the earth . Suspect is they were a lot bigger in the past . Big Pine bark lizard beavers more than likely . Who knows Bugs as big as rats or small dogs . Ones that would carry a baby human off for breakfast. There have been plenty of devastating flash fire events do to global warming i am sure even if more localized . The Nine mile Valley for instant has an ancient fire layer recorded in the soils . Not all that old either. I can't guess the age with any accuracy, But long Long Long after Dinosaur yet long before us humans were running around the area . More than likely most defiantly before modern humans . We dug it up every where in the area . Miles a part from each other . A geologist just happen to look at it while we had an open hole and he talked the whole time he was looking at it so even with my limited understanding my belief is strong that some of the information is spot on . O.K. geologist . The layer was about eight ft deep on average . There was a major flood event 12,000 years ago in the area so maybe my analysis is way off . There are signs of rust in the upper layers of the burn barrier but before that there is a layer of clay. Then there is clay and rock beneath the burn layer . The clay layer is about 1 to 2 ft. Below that first layer of clay . That is the best I can do for a soil profile . Oh there was a gavel layer in there some where close to the burn . Maybe just below the burn . Not always in every area though . More spotty but high percentage you could find pockets in any given area . O.K. my best soil profile from memory |

Can they vaccinate bees? Obviously injections would be out of the question but orally. |
soundhertz | Posted on Jun 10 2012, 10:09 PM | ||
Some very recent findings now suggest it may be almost exclusively the varroa mite - one of the evil three in the devil's brew for CCD - but that the mite itself has a virus that is doing the final step. http://io9.com/5916845/honey-bee-apocalyps...tions-after-all |

Theres a pesticide called Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) that became popular in the early 80s because it was considered to be safe for humans and was used in many cases because of pressure from environmental groups. It has been found to be extremely toxic to insects such as bees. BT was used in the forestry industry to control Gipsy moth out breaks. The other pesticide more commonly used was Seven but was considered dangerous for humans. I remember when they did aerial spraying using (Seven) people were told to stay indoors. Thats why (BT) became popular evan though it is more expensive. I think there evan producing genetically altered plants that contain (BT) There's a lot of info on the web about (BT) |

Sherri, We had the most wonderful time with you in May 2013. You and your staff made our weekend there in Cozemel with your great hospitality. The grounds are beautiful, food was great and the snorkeling ~ well my group just could not get enough and were amazed by the tropical sealife there off your beach. We look so much forward to coming back and seeing you again very soon. Tell the staff thanks again and say hello to the family for us as well. Take care:0) ....Happy Cruise Passenger

Hello Cozumel Insider - Just wanted to thank you very much for organizing the tour to Coba and Tulum and the snorkel at Akumel for our family on December 27th. We had a wonderful day and would like our appreciation for our driver and guide to be noted. We understood our tour was for 8 hours and after spending too much time at the sites of the ruins (they are amazing and, with our daughter who is in her 3rd year of archaeology, spent longer than most visiting Coba) our day was running a bit short of time. We thought we would have to forgo our planned snorkel at Akumel, but both our driver and tour guide agreed to put in an hour and a half extra to allow us to swim.
We truly appreciated this - Mexico is a beautiful country with many diverse treasures and to have people so eager for us to see and enjoy them made them all that more special!!
Thank you!!
Julie Bose Family ~ Salmon Arm, BC Canada
I considered your advice to drop by, and remembered reading that most public beaches get really crowded if there are a lot of cruise ships in port. There were 7 ships in Cozumel on Saturday, and I was prepared, got off the ship first thing at 9 with husband and snorkel gear in tow, and inquired about taxi rates. I was a little apprehensive when the taxi organizer didn't know where Palmar was, but I had your directions and coupon printed out so I told them it was between the two hotels and mentioned the beach name and all was well. I then realized it was a blessing for them not to know where I was going - that had to mean it wouldn't be too popular/crowded!
I believe we met Juan? He was very nice and made us feel very comfortable, showed us to a locker and we were off across the street. Hard to get in the water with all the rocks, but it was beautiful & shallow snorkeling, lots of neat corral - and 2 2 ft. barracudas guarded the shore.
When we came back we ordered guacamole and chips as well as a mango and pina colada daiquiri. It was obvious it was all just prepared and really fresh - best guacamole I've ever had, the chips were fresh, and the shakes were delicious. In summary, your location was beautiful, thank you for opening your home as a beach club so we could get away from the crowds, we felt so special! Juan was as good a host as he was a chef! We'll definitely be recommending Palmar!

Hi Sherri, I'm putting together our scrapbook from our vacation and wanted to thank you again for your hospitality at PalMar Estate Beach Club! We had a great time at your place in Cozumel. It was nice to have such a wonderful place to go while we were in a place that we had never been to before! I have been giving a lot of people at work your info since I know quite a few of them visit that area for vacations. Thanks so much!
The Taylors ~ Portland, OR
We just returned from our 7th visit to Cozumel and we visited the butterfly sancturary with our six year old and we absolutely loved it! We know the island very well and this was our first vist to the beach club and now we have a new favorite to add to our island list. We don't do alot of touristy things when we are on the island, but this place is worth it. Beautiful, educational and relaxing! What more could you ask for! We will return to Cozumel in November and we will definitely head for the butterfly sanctuary and PalMar beach club!

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — The new head of the Environmental Protection Agency has put talks with Dow Chemical Co. on hold over how to clean up dioxin contamination along 50 miles of rivers and floodplains in Michigan.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced the delay last week in a letter to environmental activists who have accused Dow of moving too slowly to restore the polluted stretch of Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay watershed.
Jackson said a team of high-ranking officials from her office would meet shortly with activist groups as well as representatives of Dow and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
In the meantime, a new round of negotiations begun in December as the Bush administration was winding down now is on hold.
A Dow spokeswoman said Monday the company is ready to resume talks any time.

Gas Supercharged V6, 3.0L/183
333 hp @ 5500 rpm
2012 Audi S4 Overview
The A4 is available as a 4-door sedan or as a 5-door station wagon, dubbed the "Avant." Power comes from a 2.0-L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, which delivers 211 horsepower and 258 lb-feet of torque. A new 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and 6-speed manual transmission are available on quattro models, while front-drive models receive a continuously variable transmission as standard equipment.The sporty-stylish S4 comes as a sedan or an Avant wagon, each powered by a 3.0L supercharged V6 that puts out 333 hp, delivered to all four wheels via either a 6-speed manual or the 7-speed S tronic transmission. The S tronic transmission features blisteringly fast shifts via twin clutches and is controlled by paddles on either side of the steering wheel. The quattro sport rear differential routes torque laterally between the rear wheels to help eliminate understeer.
The A4 comes in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Premium trims come nicely equipped with standards such as 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, leather seating, heated power mirrors, power driver's seat, a sunroof, Servotronic speed-sensitive steering and a split-folding rear seat back.
Premium Plus trim adds amenities such as 3-zone climate control, heated front seats, fog lights and dynamic self-adjusting bi-xenon headlights, plus Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a HomeLink universal remote.
Finally, the Prestige trim brings 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless start, aluminum interior inlays, HD radio, voice actuated navigation, Audi acoustic parking system, a Bang & Olufsen premium stereo system and a special lighting package.
In Premium Plus trim the aggressive S4 comes outfitted with special 18-inch wheels, Bluetooth, 4-way electrically adjustable lumbar support in both front sport seats and of course that powerful V6. The S4 Prestige boasts 19-inch alloys, the Audi parking system with rearview camera, HD radio and voice control for navigation.
Popular standalone options on the new A4 include a Navigation Package with rearview camera, walnut or ash wood inlays, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control and Audi Drive Select, which allows drivers to choose a set-up for the chassis and suspension, from comfort to sport, which alters the driving and handling characteristics of the A4. A Titanium Sport Package offers several aesthetic and performance enhancements, including black roof rails on the A4 Avant, black window trim, titanium-finish wheels and the iconic black single-frame grille. Inside, the Titanium Sport Package carries through the performance look with a black headliner, piano black inlays and sport seats. An enhanced sport suspension lowers the car and increases handling performance.
2012 Audi S4 Model Changes
For 2012, the A4 and S4 return mostly unchanged. Most of the updates have to do with the availability of option packages. A revised S-Line package features added adaptive suspension and Drive Select control, giving the driver control over suspension settings at the touch of a button. New standard equipment includes daytime running lights, automatic headlights and rain sensing wipers.
2012 Audi S4 Value
The A4 features an impressive 8-speed automatic transmission, and with the sure-footedness of Audi's world-class quattro all-wheel-drive system, a powerful engine, the availability of a wagon and the always-addictive performance of the S4 model, the lineup has a little something for everyone.
2012 Audi S4 Strengths
Engineering quality; excellent standard feature list; available all-wheel drive; wagon available; S4 model's performance

For all the paper based GTDers
Do you guys keep your action reminders or just trash it, throw it away when the action is finished?
For all the paper based GTDers
Do you guys keep your action reminders or just trash it, throw it away when the action is finished?
Hi, gtdnubcake!
I throw the completed actions list (e.g. a Calls List where all of the calls have been made and checked off...) into my weekly review folder. Then, during the review, I go back over it to catch any follow-ups I missed or remind me of any other related actions I need to do.
THEN I trash it. Quickly and unceremoniously.
constant forward pressure
I use Frixion pens for my lists. If the page is still in good shape, I microwave the paper (the heat erase the Frixion ink) and re-use it. Recycle bin if it's too worn out from rubbing (erasing).
Before I microwave/recycle the pages, those completed actions are recorded elsewhere though -- either in the project support file or my journal. That allows me to backtrack weeks later when I wonder if / when I made that call.
I used a Time/Design system for years and tossed my lists. I can't recall an issue with that strategy. If you need some of that data later I'd suggest using other lists - e.g. "Projects Completed" or filed away in reference.
How did you capture that thought?

very well satisfied with what he had seen, the King returned to his palace, after bestowing on me too many marks of favour to be here recorded. On the following day he sent for me at his dinner-hour. The Cardinal of Ferrara was there at meat with him. When I arrived, the King had reached his second course; he began at once to speak to me, saying, with a pleasant cheer, that having now so fine a basin and jug of my workmanship, he wanted an equally handsome salt-cellar to match them; and begged me to make a design, and to lose no time about it. I replied: Your Majesty shall see a model of the sort even sooner than you have commanded; for while I was making the basin, I thought there ought to be a saltcellar to match it; therefore I have already designed one, and if it is your pleasure, I will at once exhibit my conception. The King turned with a lively movement of surprise and pleasure to the lords in his companythey were the King of Navarre, the Cardinal of Lorraine, and the Cardinal of Ferraraexclaiming as he did so: Upon my word, this is a man to be loved and cherished by every one who knows him. Then he told me that he would very gladly see my model.
I set off, and returned in a few minutes; for I had only to cross the river, that is, the Seine. I carried with me the wax model which I had made in Rome at the Cardinal of Ferraras request. When I appeared again before the King and uncovered my piece, he cried out in astonishment: This is a hundred times more divine a thing that I had ever dreamed of. What a miracle of a man! He ought never to stop working. Then he turned to me with a beaming countenance, and told me that he greatly liked the piece, and wished me to execute it in gold. The Cardinal of Ferrara looked me in the face, and let me understand that he recognised the model as the same which I had made for him in Rome. I replied that I had already told him I should carry it out for one who was worthy of it. The Cardinal, remembering my words, and nettled by the revenge he thought that I was taking on him, remarked to the King: Sire, this is an enormous undertaking; I am only afraid that we shall never see it finished. These able artists who have great conceptions in their brain are ready enough to put the same in execution without duly considering when they are to be accomplished. I therefore, if I gave commission for things of such magnitude, should like to know when I was likely to get them. The King replied that if a man was so scrupulous about the termination of a work, he would never begin anything at all; these words he uttered with a certain look, which implied that such enterprises were not for folk of little spirit. I then began to say my say: Princes who put heart and courage in their servants, as your Majesty does by deed and word, render undertakings of the greatest magnitude quite easy. Now that God has sent me so magnificent a patron, I hope to perform for him a multitude of great and splendid master-pieces. I believe it, said the King, and rose from table. Then he called me into his chamber, and asked me how much gold was wanted for the salt-cellar. A thousand crowns, I answered. He called his treasurer at once, who was the Viscount of Orbec, and ordered him that very day to disburse to me a thousand crowns of good weight and old gold.
When I left his Majesty, I went for the two notaries who had helped me in procuring silver for the Jupiter and many other things. Crossing the Seine, I then took a small hand-basket, which one of my cousins, a nun, had given me on my journey through Florence. It made for my good fortune that I took this basket and not a bag. So then, thinking I could do the business by daylight, for it was still early, and not caring to interrupt my workmen, and being indisposed to take a servant with me, I set off alone. When I reached the house of the treasurer, I found that he had the money laid out before him, and was selecting the best pieces as the King had ordered. It seemed to me, however, that that thief of a treasurer was doing all he could to postpone the payment of the money; nor were the pieces counted out until three hours after nightfall.
I meanwhile was not wanting in despatch, for I sent word to several of my journeymen that they should come and attend me, since the matter was one of serious importance. When I found that they did not arrive, I asked the messenger if he had done my errand. The rascal of a groom whom I had sent replied that he had done so, but that they had answered that they could not come; he, however, would gladly carry the money for me. I answered that I meant to carry the money myself. But this time the contract was drawn up and signed. On the money being counted, I put it all into my little basket, and then thrust my arm through the two handles. Since I did this with some difficulty, the gold was well shut in, and I carried it more conveniently than if the vehicle had been a bag. I was well armed with shirt and sleeves of mail, and having my sword and dagger at my side, made off along the street as quick as my two legs would carry me.
