text: This profile thread takes a look back at Michelle Kwan's competitive career (1991-2005) Born, 7th July 1980, in Torrance, California, Michelle started skating when she was 5 years old (inspired by her older sister, Karen Kwan, who was also a figure skater). Her family struggled to finance Michelle's skating, but they were offered financial assistance by a member of the Los Angeles Figure Skating Club, which enabled Michelle to train at the Ice Castle International Training Centre. In 1991, Frank Carroll became Michelle's coach. 1991/92 During the 1991/92 season (LP: Concerto in F - George Gershwin), Kwan competed at U.S. Nationals for the first time as a junior, where she finished 9th. U.S. Nationals (Junior) 1992 - SP, U.S. Nationals (Junior) 1992 - FS 1992/93 Kwan passed her Gold Test and moved up to seniors for the 1992/93 season (LP: Miss Saigon - Claude-Michel Schönberg). Her coach, Frank Carroll, had wanted her to remain in Juniors. Michelle finished 6th in her first senior U.S. Nationals, where she was the youngest (age 12) to compete as a senior since 1973. Practice, U.S. Nationals 1993 -SP, U.S. Nationals 1993 - FS, Profile Kwan finished the season by winning a junior level competition, the Gardena Spring Trophy (beating Jenna Pittman) 1993/94 Michelle began the 1993/94 season (SP: Song of India - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, LP: East of Eden - Lee Holdridge) by competing at the U.S. Olympic Festival, where she won the Gold Medal. U.S. Olympic Festival 1993 - SP, U.S. Olympic Festival 1993 - FS Kwan's next competition was Skate America, where she finished 7th (winner: Oksana Baiul). Skate America 1993 - FS Michelle followed this up by winning the 1994 World Junior Championships (which took place in December 1993), beating Krisztina Czakó and Irina Slutskaya World Junior Championships 1994 - FS Kwan then finished 2nd behind Tonya Harding at the 1994 U.S. Nationals, one of the most controversial championships in figure skating history, which involved the infamous attack on Nancy Kerrigan. Ordinarily, as Kwan had finished 2nd at the Championships, this would have qualified her for a place on the U.S. team for the 1994 Olympics. However, as Kerrigan had been unable to compete, and would have been favourite along with Harding to win had she been able to, Kerrigan was ultimately selected in place of Kwan. Michelle then went to the Olympics as an alternate, but did not ultimately compete. 1994 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1994 U.S. Nationals - FS With the retirement of both Kerrigan and Harding following the Olympics, Michelle was selected to compete at the 1994 senior World Championships, where she finished 8th (winner: Yuka Sato). She was in 11th after falling on the 3Z of her 3Z+2T combination in the SP. However, a better FS moved her up to 8th overall. 1994 World Championships - SP, 1994 World Championships - FS + Profile 1994/95 Michelle began the 1994/95 season (SP: Yellow River Piano Concerto - Xian Xinghai, LP: Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso - Camille Saint-Saëns) by performing an exhibition program at the U.S. Olympic Festival at the beginning of July 1994. U.S. Olympic Festival - Exhibition Later in July 1994, Kwan competed at the Goodwill Games, where she finished 2nd to Surya Bonaly. 1994 Goodwill Games - SP, 1994 Goodwill Games - FS Next, Kwan competed at Skate America where she again finished 2nd to Surya Bonaly. 1994 Skate America - FS Michelle then competed at the Trophée de France (now known as the Trophée Eric Bompard), where she finished 3rd (winner: Surya Bonaly, second: Tonia Kwiatkowski). 1994 Trophée de France - FS At the beginning of 1995, Michelle finished 2nd for the second year running at U.S. Nationals (winner: Nicole Bobek). This loss was caused primarily by a poor landing on the 3Z part of her 3Z+2T combination in her SP, which left her 3rd after the SP. 1995 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1995 U.S. Nationals - FS Nevertheless, her 2nd placed finish at Nationals qualified Kwan to compete at the World Championships, where she finished just outside the medals in 4th place (winner: Chen Lu). 1995 World Championships - SP, 1995 World Championships - FS 1995/96 Kwan began the 1995/96 season (SP: Romanza, LP: Salome) by winning Skate America where she beat World Champion, Chen Lu, into 2nd place. This performance highlighted that Kwan had moved up several levels, displaying greater artistry and maturity in her skating, more complex choreography, and greater speed and jumping ability. 1995 Skate America - FS, 1995 Skate America - Exhibition Next, Michelle competed at Skate Canada, which she also won. 1995 Skate Canada - SP, 1995 Skate Canada - FS Michelle then won the Nations Cup, beating Maria Butyrskaya and Nicole Bobek 1995 Nations Cup - FS, 1995 Nations Cup - Exhibition Next, Michelle won her first U.S. Nationals title (second: Tonia Kwiatkowski, third: Tara Lipinski) 1996 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1996 U.S. Nationals - FS, Profile Michelle's Champions Series victories qualified her for the Final (this was the first ever Champions Series, a series which later became known as the Grand Prix), which took place in February 1996, and which she also won (beating Irina Slutskaya into 2nd, with Chen Lu 4th). Kwan had been in 4th place after the SP after falling on a 3T. However, a strong FS (in conjunction with a disastrous LP by Chen Lu, who had been in 1st place after the SP) moved her up into 1st place overall. 1996 Champions Series Final - SP, 1996 Champions Series Final - FS Following on from this win, Kwan next won her first World title, beating Chen Lu into 2nd in a very close finish. Michelle won both the SP and LP 1996 World Championships - SP, 1996 World Championships - FS, 1996 World Championships - Exhibition 1996/97 Kwan first started performing the Change-of-Edge spiral, which would become her signature move, during the 1996/97 season (SP: Dream of Desdemona, LP: Taj Mahal). However, a growth spurt and boot problems, led to a dip in form and jumping problems. Michelle started the season by competing at Skate America, which she won (beating the skater who was about to become her nemesis, Tara Lipinski) 1996 Skate America - SP, 1996 Skate America - FS Next, Kwan competed at Trophée Lalique, which she also won (second: Maria Butyrskaya, third: Tara Lipinski) 1996 Trophée Lalique - SP, 1996 Trophée Lalique - FS, 1996 Trophée Lalique - Exhibition At the 1997 U.S. Nationals, however, Kwan was beaten into 2nd place by Tara Lipinski. Michelle was in first place after the SP, but 2 falls (the first on the 2nd part of an intended 3T+3T combination, and the 2nd on a 3R) and a stumble out of a 3F in her LP, dropped her to 2nd place overall (she finished 3rd in the FS) 1997 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1997 U.S. Nationals - FS Tara Lipinski again beat Michelle into 2nd place in the Champions Series final, with Michelle making mistakes in both programs. 1997 Champions Series Final - SP, 1997 Champions Series Final Lipinski made it a hat-trick of wins over Kwan at the World Championships, with Michelle again finishing 2nd to her. Kwan was in 4th place after the SP after stepping out of the first part of her 3Z+2T combination. However, she won the FS with a strong LP, but that was only enough to move her up to 2nd place overall. 1997 World Championships - SP, 1997 World Championships - FS, Profile 1997/98 Putting her growth spurt problems behind her, Kwan started the 1997/98 season (SP: Piano Concerto No. 3/Piano Trio No. 2 - Sergei Rachmaninoff, LP: Lyra Angelica - William Alwyn) confidently, by winning Skate America (beating Lipinski into second place). 1997 Skate America - SP, 1997 Skate America - FS Michelle followed this up by winning Skate Canada (second: Maria Butyrskaya) 1997 Skate Canada - SP, 1997 Skate Canada - FS However, shortly afterwards, Michelle sustained a stress fracture to her left foot, which forced her to withdraw from the Champions Series Final (which Lipinski went on to win). Michelle had recovered sufficiently from the stress fracture by the beginning of 1998 to compete in and win U.S. Nationals (although she was still having problems with her toe, and was not 100%), where she beat Lipinski into 2nd place. Michelle's performance in her Lyra Angelica FS, in my view, was her greatest ever performance, which earned her eight 6.0's for presentation and left 1 judge in tears. Her Rachmaninoff SP was almost as good. 1998 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1998 U.S. Nationals - FS (with commentary), 1998 U.S. Nationals - FS (without commentary) Next was the 1998 Olympics. Kwan led after an excellent SP (with 8 out of 9 Judges placing her first), with Lipinski 2nd. However, Lipinski would go on to win both the FS and the Olympic title, despite Michelle performing a clean 7-triple jump program which left her in 2nd place in the FS and overall. The greater technical difficulty which Lipinski injected into her own clean 7-triple jump LP (which included a 3R+3R combination, and a 3T+half R+ 3S sequence) won her title. Who should have won? This remains the subject of debate. Some prefer the greater artistry of Kwan, whilst others prefer what they consider to be the greater technical ability of Lipinski. 1998 Olympics - SP, 1998 Olympics - FS, 1998 Olympics - Exhibition, Profile - Part 1, Profile - Part 2 With Lipinski retiring after the Olympics, Kwan decided to continue for another quad with a view to winning Gold at the 2002 Olympics. She next won the world title for a second time (second: Irina Slutskaya) 1998 World Championships - SP, 1998 World Championships - FS, 1998 World Championships - Exhibition Kwan finished the season by winning the Goodwill Games 1998 Goodwill Games - SP, 1998 Goodwill Games - FS 1998/99 Kwan skipped the Grand Prix Series in order to compete in some made for TV Pro-Am events. Hence, her first event of the 1998/99 season (SP: Fate of Carmen, LP: Lamento D'Ariane) was U.S. Nationals, which she won (second: Naomi Nari Nam) 1999 U.S. Nationals - SP, 1999 U.S. Nationals - FS Nevertheless, a truncated season meant that Kwan was well below her best and she went on to finish 2nd behind Maria Butyrskaya at the World Championships 1999 World Championships - Qualifying Round, 1999 World Championships - SP, 1999 World Championships - FS 1999/00 Kwan began the 1999/00 season (SP: A Day In The Life, LP: The Red Violin) by winning Skate America (second: Julia Soldatova, fourth: Sarah Hughes)) 1999 Skate America - SP, 1999 Skate America - FS, 1999 Skate America - Exhibition Next, Michelle won Skate Canada (second: Julia Soldatova) 1999 Skate Canada - SP, 1999 Skate Canada - FS However, Michelle went on to place second to Irina Slutskaya in the Grand Prix final 2000 GPF - SP, 2000 GPF - 1st LP, 2000 GPF - 2nd LP Kwan retained her U.S. Nationals title (second: Sasha Cohen, third: Sarah Hughes). Michelle was 3rd after the short program after falling on a 3T. However, a better LP mean't that she won the FS and the title. 2000 U.S. Nationals - SP, 2000 U.S. Nationals - FS Kwan next won her 3rd World title, beating Irina Slutskaya into 2nd, and avenging her defeat to Slutskaya in the GPF.

Theater Foundations III
Course Preface
Printable Version (pdf)
Course Introduction
Description of Foundations III
There are two basic goals in theatre education: finding meaning in works of theatre art through the study and appreciation of theatre as an art form, and constructing meaning in works of theatre art through the study and skill development of theatre techniques in the creation of that theatre art. To these concepts this course adds depth as well as breadth through the study of production unity, character conflict, character motivation through movement and voice, projecting mood and feelings, trust, the design concepts of visualization and technology, researching a script, variety in art forms, assessing performance effectiveness, and famous theatre professionals. The prerequisite for this course is Foundations I or II (1800 or 1810).
Explanation of Standards
The Utah State Theatre Arts Core divides each of the goals of theatre education into standards which organize the curriculum into manageable and related units representing the artistry and craft of theatre as well as the critical thinking skills essential to the theatre process. Each standard is broken into objectives, each objective into indicators. A scoring box is placed to the left of each objective. The student scores his or her achievement within each objective using a number ranging from 0 to 10. A legend is provided wherein the student and teacher tally both the average score from the objective boxes and the total number of indicators the class has studied.
Technology requirements for this class include existing school theatre equipment such as fly systems, lighting/sound systems and equipment, and stage craft equipment.

With the development οf clean рower sоurces as one of the beѕt challеnges of the twenty-first century, the uѕage of sυnshine to driνe cаtalytic responѕеs, and pаrticularly hуdrogen productіоn frοm water splitting, has emergеd аs a promisіng course. This project takes advаntаge οf the big collectіon οf nanomaterials to prοdυce brand nеw hybrids wіth еnhanced properties that hаpрen in greater photocatalytic efficiency.
Utilising the sυn's light in artіfiсial рhοtоsynthetіc deviceѕ to рroduce mοlecular hуdrogen (H2) for uѕe in H2 fuel cеlls is thе sυbjeсt of mυch research. Photocatalytic systems split water particles into H2 and oxygen. Novel materials with greater efficiency and security at reduced costs are needed. To attain this, sciеntiѕtѕ are сheckіng out hybrid nanomaterials made of nano-struсturеd cаrbоn and inorganic semicοnductors.
A key aspect of the task is the fоcus on іntеrfacіal engineering as a mechanism to contrоl charge transfer processeѕ betweеn the hybrids, thus bοost сharge lifetime and photocatalytic performance. The project has made progress in οptimisіng synthеtic channels to aсhіeve. Cutting-еdge spectroscopy strategies hаve actually provided a unique inѕight into thе electronic prореrties at the nanοcarbon/inorganic semicondυctor junctіon, providing elements tо adјυst the artificial routes apрropriately.
In the short-term, production of this task is contributing to the logical design and synthesis of new nanostructured hybrids with enhanced catalytic performance in sustainable power programs, such as water splitting, water purification, photoelectrochemistry and photovoltaic products. In the lengthy term, these nanostructured hybrid systems will add to solve energy challenges of the future.

.... They were all over to one corner and over about 3 frames. .
I had 4 deep supers on my hive with at least one full of honey and the top one was starting to be capped agan after I extracted it last Oct. .
The middle super had alot of honey left in it as heavy as it was. .
What would have caused my bees to die off in the last couple weeks. What do I do with my hive ? Clean off the frames of dead bees and take the frames inside to warm up and extract the remaining honey?.
I am really bummed up and wonder what I should have done differant.
My strong colony died out in the last two weeks, I think it was the moisture. :D Al
Moisture does not kill hives. The reason is nosema, which arise when ventilation is poor.
I dissagree that moisture does not kill bees. I agree that good ventilation is key, but if enough moisture builds up inside the hive, condensation droplets form on the inside of the inner cover. They then become very cold, and when they drip down on the cluster, that ice cold water hits the bees and kills them.
Speaking of hive moisture, here is an interesting article.http://wind.prohosting.com/tbhguy/bee/plex.htmSome good pictures of plexiglass tops so you can see the condensation.
Some good pictures of plexiglass tops so you can see the condensation.
Finman, what do you do to prevent nosema?.
Ashame you could not view the site. It was done as an experiment and showed the condesation/ice at different temperatures down to -20F throughout the winter. It also showed the bees using the condensation as a source of water to drink. Provided a good visualization of the lack of cndensation above the cluster. As the winter went on the condensation ring grew wider and wider, but the area above the cluster had little to none.
But he should keep insulation on the plex that moisture does not condensate to ceiling.

Among the most ignored stories related to the war in Iraq is its impact on the lives of those who serve abroad while being screwed at home. Rep. Bob Finer, Dem. Calif, has become interested in the impact of the housing crisis upon members of the military. The American dream is owning one's home, but at a time of war, this can be a terrible burden. "We all know this dream can become a nightmare," Finer recently told a group,"especially for our veterans who are on deployment." San Diego Country is home to 110,000 active duty military members and since January of this year it has witnessed a doubling of mortgage defaults. Pamela Beard of the Housing Opportunities Board repeatedly encounters situations like the National Guardsman who experienced an income drop from $60,000 a year to $20,000 a year when ordered into active duty. His mortgage payment rose from $1,200 a month to $2,500.
The US government must begin to address issues being faced by those on deployment. It is necessary for the VA to become a major source of refinancing funds for those who have been called to active duty. WWII veterans received low cost housing loans, something which should be brought back during this current crisis.

Amazing Body Wash
I bought this after reading a review on here and I was not disappointed! This wash lathers wonderfully and you only need a bit. I've noticed that while the fragrance is wonderful and you can definitely smell it- it is not overpowering in any way.
Fabulous, feminine fragrance
I feel so feminine wearing Kimona Rose as if I'm floating thru a perfumed mist.
Serenity in a bottle!!!
I first tried this product when I was at in a hotel in Los Angeles for 4 days for an audition. Even though the accommodations were very nice, it's still stressful when you're in a hotel for almost a week and you're not permitted to leave the premises. Well, it wasn't anymore once I got my hands on this stuff. O. M. G.!!!! When I first smelled it in the gift shop it blew me away, I used all the money I had on me to buy all of it! I kid you not. You don't mind being locked down in a hotel for a few days after you take a whiff of Kimono Rose, at least I didn't. I was almost late for my audition because I was so relaxed and happy, it's just the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled. Thank you for making a product that makes me feel so serene.

To convince legislators, she spent hours staking out illicit "spa-brothels," creating a meticulous database that demonstrated the immense human cost of the earlier status quo. "When you legalize something, you legitimize it," Melanie says. "And I could never stand behind legitimizing something so inherently dangerous to women and children. Rhode Island was part of an international legislative debate about prostitution. The whole world was watching, and this change will have policy implications throughout the world."

Concerned about crime prevention in your residence or place of work? Want to learn how to protect yourself from harassment or theft? Want to learn more personal security tips? Read below.
Harassing, obscene or threatening telephone calls or e-mails are illegal and are punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. If you are subjected to annoying telephone calls or e-mails you should report them to Public Safety immediately. Lesley Public Safety will investigate the incident, notify the local Police Department (to open a case file) and contact the Verizon Annoyance Department to set a trace, if the situation warrants such action.
Abuse is defined by law as the occurrence of one of the following acts between members of a family, household, or substantive dating relationship
The city of Boston and the city of Cambridge take all incidents of domestic/date violence very seriously. Any member of the Lesley community who has been subjected to violence as described above should seek help through Public Safety. Our Office has resources and contacts within both cities that will help stop the violence. Further, we can assist you with executing an Abuse Prevention Order and help develop a personal safety plan.
Date rape drugs are given to unsuspecting individuals to induce sleep and memory loss so a perpetrator can sexually assault them. The following are safety precautions you can use to avoid becoming a victim of date rape drugs:
If you feel you have been drugged or have been a victim of a sexual assault contact the Public Safety Office for assistance. We will notify the local Police Department.
Almost on a daily basis we hear or read about unsuspecting individuals who have become victims of undesirables who prey on unsuspecting people using the Internet. Many children have been abducted and others have placed themselves in compromising positions with total strangers. Individuals, had they met face to face, they would normally avoid. People you meet in cyberspace might not be who they seem to be.
Remember, it is a crime to harass anyone by phone, email, fax, or via the internet. If you feel you are being harassed or cyber-stalked:
Each year more innocent people become victims of Identity Theft. Most aren't even aware they are victims until they receive enormous credit card bills, debt collectors begin calling or when they are denied credit.
Lesley community members can protect themselves from Identity Theft by understanding how and when you use your personal information. Keeping a close watch on your personal information will help reduce your chances of becoming an identity theft victim. Some precautions that will help you protect your personal information are:

A standard form contract drafted by one party (usually a business with stronger bargaining power) and signed by the weaker party (usually a consumer in need of goods or services), who must adhere to the contract and therefore does not have the power to negotiate or modify the terms of the contract. Adhesion contracts are commonly used for matters involving insurance, leases, deeds, mortgages, automobile purchases, and other forms of consumer credit. Also known as adhesive contract; adhesory contract; adhesionary contract; take-it-or-leave-it contract; leonine contract.
Courts carefully scrutinize adhesion contracts and sometimes void certain provisions because of the possibility of unequal bargaining power, unfairness, and unconscionability. Factoring into such decisions include the nature of the assent, the possibility of unfair surprise, lack of notice, unequal bargaining power, and substantive unfairness. Courts often use the "doctrine of reasonable expectations" as a justification for invalidating parts or all of an adhesion contract: the weaker party will not be held to adhere to contract terms that are beyond what the weaker party would have reasonably expected from the contract, even if what he or she reasonably expected was outside the strict letter of agreement.

The Audi A4 is a compact luxury sedan with a sporting cousin in the S4. Both aim to bring a high-quality all-around driving experience to buyers looking for a bit of practicality and luxury in the mid-$30,000 range. With more personality than a similarly priced mid-sized sedan, the A4 gives up a little bit of size, but offers additional sport and luxury in equal helpings. A turbocharged engine and advanced chassis make the A4 feel lively, while it's finely crafted interior is practically dripping with quality. A supercharged V6 in the S4 brings an impressive level of performance to a practical 4-door.
Compare the 2016 Audi A4 against similar models
The 2016 Audi A4 and S4 see only minor changes this year. A new set of 19" wheels are available on A4s with the S Line Competition Plus Package, while Audi Connect has been added to the Navigation Plus Package. Premium models get a new steering wheel while a new smart key is also available on Premium models.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Audi A4. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Audi A4. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The Audi A4 is a sportier alternative to a traditional luxury sedan and is in the same class as the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Cadillac ATS.
For 2016, Audi A4 receives several enhancements. The 2016 A4 Premium model comes with a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Also new for 2016: The Navigation plus package includes Advanced Key and Audi connect. A Bang & Olufsen Sound System has been added to the Technology package on 2016 A4 Premium Plus models. New for 2016, A4 Premium models with the S line competition plus package feature 19-inch five-spoke wheels. Last redesigned for 2009, it is mechanically unchanged since the 2011 model year. A redesigned A4 is expected soon.
Audi A4 uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 220 horsepower. Quattro all-wheel-drive versions come with either with a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic; front-wheel-drive models use a continuously variable transmission. The quattro system sends 60 percent of the power to the rear tires during normal driving, and up to 85 percent as needed for traction.
A4 quattro models get an EPA-estimated 22/31 mpg City/Highway with the 8-speed automatic; Premium gasoline is required.
The A4 doesn't earn an IIHS Top Safety Pick, as it scores a Poor rating in the insurance industry agency's new small overlap frontal test. The good news is that rear-seat side-impact airbags are available. A rearview camera is not standard but available, along with a blind spot warning system and adaptive cruise control that can bring the car to a stop if the system detects an imminent crash.
The 2016 Audi A4 2.0T Premium starts at $35,900 MSRP with 2.0-liter engine, S tronic transmission and front-wheel drive; with 6-speed manual gearbox and quattro all-wheel drive it's $37,000, or $38,000 with 8-speed Tiptronic and quattro. Leather upholstery is standard on all models. Premium Plus and Prestige packages upgrade further.
Audi A4 is sleek and rakish, with headlamps and a subtle grille with an expert touch at the chamfered corners. Foglamps low across the spoiler give it muscle at ground level. It's handsome and understated, a sharp car with a relaxed profile and aggressive stance.
There are three exterior trim packages that change its visual character. Black Optic gives the A4 a black grille, black window trim, and 19-inch wheels.
Leather is standard, and the cabin, dominated by a deep dark dashboard, is trimmed in aluminum or wood. There's some plastic but it's handsome and well finished. We like the thick steering wheel, both trims, and especially the starter button, beefier than those in the BMW and Mercedes.
The A4 is good for tall drivers, with comfortable and supportive seats that are superb; sport seats are available. Rear seating is tight, on a bench that's low. The Audi's trunk is smaller than the BMW's.
With available Audi Connect, you can make the A4 a mobile hotspot. The navigation system uses Google Earth and Google Street View displayed on a gorgeous LCD screen, making for an excellent GPS experience.
Audi's 2.0-liter turbo used to be the fastest kid on the black, but now it feels underwhelming. Both the Cadillac ATS and BMW 3 Series are quicker and more nimble.
We strongly recommend getting quattro. First, Audi excels at all-wheel drive so it would a shame not to get it. Second, quattro comes with an 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual, both of which are superb, and either a much better choice than the slow CVT. The 8-speed Tiptronic automatic works extremely well, blipping the throttle to match revs when downshifting and performing quickly when upshifting. The 6-speed manual is another great option because it turns the A4 into more of a sports sedan. The manual shifts precisely and is fun, with an easy clutch pedal. A hill-hold feature prevents rolling back when taking off on a steep hill.
The A4 is taut and stable, with a slightly firm ride and a decent feel to the electric power steering; with available adaptive steering, the steering effort is varied. The A4's electric power steering does not have the natural feel of a sports sedan. The optional sports suspension has a firmer ride quality but it isn't harsh and it sharpens handling response.
A4 handles good with front-wheel drive, great with quattro. Quattro is outstanding in snow and rain, and it performs better than BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus all-wheel-drive systems. Audi gained vast experience with all-wheel drive while competing in the World Rally Championship; the others do not have that experience. Quattro improves handling on dry asphalt, also. In terms of two-wheel drive models, BMW's rear-wheel drive is superior to Audi's front-wheel drive.
Also available is Drive Select, with settings for the suspension, steering, throttle and transmission. We like the stock setup, with its broad range and its predictability. We think it's easy to live without different settings for driving.
There is a sport package available that stiffens the suspension, different dampers along with wheels and tires.
We liked the way the brake pedal felt and they work well at higher speeds.
Buying a car that hasn't been redesigned in seven years, when there's a redesign coming soon, only makes sense if the deal is a steal.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

So I've been in a "bust A$$ and get it done mode" recently. I took to sewing up my jumpsuit and dying it. So now I'm onto the vest.
If you would believe it, here in Santa Barbara, CA we have not 1 fabric store. I'm not positive on our local population numbers, but odds are that I'm not the only one in need of fabric...Moving on.
I'm looking at throwing a vest together and I have a pattern so no problem there but I wanted to know what has been most commonly used to give the vest that "puffy" look. Batting, foam, plaster of paris, employment applications? I was thinking of using a towel. I'm really really bummed about the fabric issue right now.... I'm using sheets. Yup, sheets to scratch this thing together. Beggers can't be choosers right?
On a side note, if anyone has a resource for somewhat screen accurate fabric, I'm looking so let me know. The current incarnation is really more of a test of my sewing ability anyway, and on the bright side, I don't have more than a few bucks invested right now sooo....
Thanks in advance,

Artisanal Sausages and Pancetta 5-Pack
$32.99 $̶4̶8̶.̶0̶0̶ 31% off List Price
Fennel Salami approx. 6 oz.
Sopressata approx. 6 oz.
Hot Sopressata approx. 6 oz.
Chorizo approx. 6 oz.
Herbs Pancetta approx. 6 oz.
Remember, that's "Pancetta" and not "Placenta" ... and they got my hopes up all for nothing! =(
Do these really not have Sodium Nitrate as an ingredient?
16 dollars a pound. Rip off.
Too bad the meat is uncured. I refuse to buy into the myth that it is better for you. It can actually be much worse. The "celery extract" can add more nitrates than sodium nitrite. I'll stick to the cured stiff where nitrate levels can be controlled and botulism can be prevented.
Cagny wrote:Do these really not have Sodium Nitrate as an ingredient?
Correct. Read more about the hoax here: http://ruhlman.com/2011/05/the-no-nitrites-added-hoax/
Why use Celery Extract and not the real thing in the Sopressata Sausage?
You could grind the Celery then add it to the mix but Extract what a BIG turn off! I'm passing on this sausage. Go NATURAL! LESS PROCESSING in the FOODS!
I want my food processed and my meats cured! Im an american G#d D##mit!
Alfredenigma wrote:I want my food processed and my meats cured! Im an american G#d D##mit!
I actually bought this before, and uncured meat just wasn't my thing; neither for the taste nor for the health.
On the other hand, the Pancetta was very good.
I might buy this if it was Prosciutto instead of Pancetta.
And even then, I only purchase imported from Italy.
If you eat celery or spinach you eat natural nitrates. Now I have been told by friends that they have reactions to nitrates/nitrites in wines. If you put the proper levels in, you should not have problems. My research on the FDA website years ago, they stated there was no medically documented reactions to sulfites ( not sure if sulfates were included in this statement ). Now don't beat me, this is what I found when I was making wine. I have also discovered that with my wines hitting 9+ years of age, that the recommended levels of metabisulphites are sufficient, and no extras are needed for extended aging like I was taught back then. Besides, they make things taste like sh*t. Just a few comments. I wouldn't pay this price for someone who cant show through lab controls that there is enough stability in a product using organic means, but Woot is selling it, and should prove it is safe to us. Right?

nohomo, but I first read this as "Arti's anal sausages"...
You're going to give me a moderation headache today, aren't ya?
If you guys read the comments at the bottom of that Ruhlman article, you'd see that not all nitrates/nitrites are created equal. The celery salt doesn't trigger bad reactions or inflammation in people susceptible to that, nearly as much.
I'll wait for the next time I see Volpe's... and buy twice as much then.

Some years ago, I met a writer who forcefully said that if she was going to eat chocolate, she was going to eat imported chocolate, dammit! She loved her Lindt.
It turned out she lived in San Francisco, home of Scharffen Berger. At that point I wandered off.
So anyway, there are some pretty fine domestic prosciuttos being produced. And some of them might even be more expensive than the imported stuff, if that bragging right is that important to you...
Cured tubular meats!
That's the only way to go!
Add good microbrew as needed.
Are these as good as Creminelli?
I got this full set of five one of the last times it was offered. I think it's been a year or so. Used the Pancetta in some breakfasty cooking and the Sopressata & Chorizo were awesome diced up into chili. I think the uncured salami was the only one I didn't care for. I don't like the price either, but I'm tempted to buy again just because of how good the other three tasted.
I wonder how many "Artisans" are actually employed at the meat packing facility?
wendy98765 wrote:Are these as good as Creminelli?
I love Creminelli. I almost bought the max because I thought that's what this was.
MobileMikey wrote:If you eat celery or spinach you eat natural nitrates.
Like - natural H2O vs artificial H2O?
Well, your choice of course... you are free to believe that likely higher levels of a chemical coming from a plant source are better than possibly lower levels being added in a purified form.
I was all set to pull the trigger on this until I read the description of the Pancetta (spunky flavors). My wife doesn't seem to enjoy that particular flavor, and I generally trust her judgement, so I'll pass.
Really! There is nothing artificial about celery, which is a natural nitrate.
Shoot some hoops, for one. But rarely does anyone have a bad day; they get to choose the background music.
billypuppy wrote:I wonder how many "Artisans" are actually employed at the meat packing facility?
Fewer than you think. And why call it artisanal? We've been using that term because it's the French way of describing a hand-crafted product. But we welcome suggestions for an updated term.
Hey Woot!, when are you guys going to run this again? This stuff was great! I had the pancetta in my fridge for a few months, finally thought to cut it into small pieces and mix it into hamburgers...DELICIOUS! And the rest of the sausages were good, too.

We stand behind our academic quality.Try our classes before you owe any tuition. That's the Kaplan Commitment.
At Kaplan University, we are committed to your education, your goals—you. That's why we've introduced the Kaplan Commitment℠. We believe you should have the opportunity to experience Kaplan University for an introductory period with no tuition obligation. It's part of our core principles that ground us, guide us, and ensure our dedication to helping you succeed.
We believe in your talent.
Kaplan University was founded on the belief that every person with talent, regardless of age or circumstance, deserves the chance to develop it. We recognize the value of real-world experience and previously earned credits to ensure no eligible student wastes time or money on courses and skills already attained.
We believe if we're not right for you then you shouldn't be financially obligated to us.
The Kaplan Commitment is a new way for you to get to know us and for us to get to know you. There's no financial obligation beyond the application fee. It's available to new students, online or on campus. It's simple. Here's how it works:
Additional terms may apply to international students and non-U.S. citizens. International students are defined as individuals who live outside the United States, excluding members of the U.S. military, and who are not eligible for Title IV funding or are eligible for Title IV funding but choose not to use that funding.
We believe in support that begins before you enroll and prepares you for success after you graduate.
You'll get personalized support from a network of financial, education, and admissions advisors. They take into account the individual demands of your life. Whether it's explaining your financial aid options or helping you select the right courses for you, you won't be on your own. Once enrolled, you'll learn from professors who bring valuable, real-world experience. Along the way, you can take advantage of career services including resume workshops and interviewing, networking webinars, and our alumni network.
We believe a university should adapt to its students—not the other way around.
We understand nontraditional students—working parents, late bloomers, career changers—have obligations beyond school. As a university that's student driven for driven students, you'll attend classes in a flexible learning environment with schedules designed to fit your life. With the freedom to take classes on campus, or online, on your terms, you have the opportunity meet academic requirements without sacrificing personal or professional duties.
We believe in surrounding you with faculty and advisors dedicated to your success.
Our online math, science, technology, and writing centers offer support whenever, wherever you have an Internet connection. Our professors are just a click away. You can email them directly from the classroom or contact them during online office hours. Campus students have access in person through regular office hours.
* Classes count toward a degree if satisfactorily completed. No credits are earned if the student withdraws during the introductory period (3 weeks for undergraduate students), which begins day one of the first term. Students who choose to continue their studies at the University will need to meet specific requirements. Graduate programs not included. Additional terms may apply to international and non-U.S. citizen students. For further information, see the University Catalog and the Kaplan Commitment Statement. Application fee waived for campus and learning center students through December 31, 2017.

This is my rant thread about expectations.
I'll try and keep it short
Chime in if you'd like.
1. If you are my friend, I expect you to answer the phone occasionally when I call you and I expect you to reply back when I text. I know that everyone is busy, but if you are too busy for your friend, then either they are not your friend OR you are in fact TOO BUSY and you should re-evaluate your priorities
2. If you contact me for pricing, I expect you tell me if you are still interested or not. Either way I am ok with your decision
3. If we made a deal then I expect you to follow through and keep your end of the bargain. This is very important in the "trading" business. If you are trading your item for some paintwork, don't drag it out for 2 years and keep telling me that "your item is the next one out the door". Don't BS me.
4. If you have asked me to paint something for you (and we agree on a price), I expect you to have me paint your item at that price. Do not low-ball me after the fact or change your mind and have someone else do it cheaper and not tell me.
more to follow I'm sure.

City school tours: Proceed with caution
School board member John Avard and Alderman Patrick Arnold organized tours of Gossler Park Elementary, Northwest Elementary and Parker-Varney Elementary. They are to take place on Thursday, Nov. 29. Mayor Ted Gatsas and four other school board members objected to these politician-led tours.
Though parents ought to have access to the schools, Gatsas said, he was concerned about classroom disruptions and child safety. Having politicians lead groups of parents through the schools while they are in session was a bad idea, he said. The school board voted 7-5 to approve the tours anyway.
Avard and Arnold might have the kernel of a good idea, but Gatsas' concerns are valid. A better way to get parents involved would be to schedule more open houses.
It is much more informative for parents and school staff members if parents can tour facilities while teachers and administrators are available to answer questions.
That also would prevent the tours from becoming distractions for students and teachers.
The public schools belong to the people, and they ought to be accessible. But for obvious reasons, trotting large groups through the schools while they are in session is problematic. The board ought to work with the district to add another open house or two to the calendar. And if school board members want to bring parents through the schools, they ought to be able to do that, but only in small groups that won't disrupt classes or pose safety concerns for students.

Depending on which county you move to, it's easy to moderately difficult in NYS. Unfortunately, you will need to show "need" to carry concealed, NY is a "may issue" state. Many permits are issued "for hunting and target practice only". There are many reasons that are valid though. Niagara county (North of Buffalo) is a bit easier than Erie County. Either way, be prepared to wait. Mine took 8 months, 6 is average, and I believe there is a minimum residency period.
Good luck.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Your GSD puppy is a tiny BABY and NORMAL!
More importantly, no matter how much it hurts and how much you bleed what you are seeing is PLAY. Puppies bite, puppies growl and it's all PLAY.
That's why it's so important for us all to do the research BEFORE getting any new puppy of any breed so we are better prepared for the NORMAL !
David Winners posted a great link about the biting but there are more 'GSD' things to come for you so make sure you also look thru ---> Welcome to the GSD/FAQ's for the first time owner - German Shepherd Dog Forums
Also want to get a good start on ---> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html
|Yeah I would hardly say your 8 week old puppy is aggressive.. just a landshark! Read the thread that David Winners posted and take note.. It will not last.. as with the "growling" I'm not there so I don't know, but I'm gonna guess he's a vocal little guy and that is he way of playing.. I have friend with dogs that get excited and make all kinds of noises that, if you didn't know better, you'd think they were fighting.
|Does the trainer have experience with very young GSD's? Sounds like pretty normal German Shepherd puppy behavior to me.
|David Winners
GSD puppies are landsharks. But luckily, there are things you can do to curb this behavior. Here is a good thread that is a sticky in the puppy behavior section.
Puppy BITING!!! Teaching Bite Inhibition
And a good video.
|andrew allen
Puppy Biting and Growling
I have an issue with my 8 week old puppy German Shepard. He keeps biting me and my wife really hard and breaking through our skin. We got him from a pet store in Okinawa, Japan when he was 7 weeks so we only had him for a week. We tried the Yelp method and leaving the room and yet he still continues to bite really hard. I know the puppy is going through teething. Now we did try give him is toy instead of biting us hes plays with it but when he gets bored of it and sees me and my wife walk around hes goes right back on biting us.
We went to an obedience instructor to take a look at our puppy and he told us that it is a bad puppy because hes never seen and puppy with that much aggression. Mind this instructor been training for over 30 years and also on the judging panel for JKC agility competion here is his website («ê Æë¢ AWeB x@¢ PûwZ@| Okinwa Dog Training School(«êhbOg[jOXN[) |) . The puppy tried to bite the instructor and he immediately pulled his ear to the ground to calm him down and the puppy continues to fight back and would growl. He told us to take the puppy back because the dog is way to aggressive and that when he gets older the dog would hurt me, my wife and my daughter.
I want to keep the dog and give him time but my wife is taking his word on taking the dog back to the pet store. Assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys, First off a massive thank you to everyone on here - without this site there is no way my costume would be coming out how it has so far. WOF you are a legend for your templates, and there is just so much good advice in these threads i thought id add my 2 pence worth in in the hope that it might help someone.
First off, iv made some mistakes, and this isn't perfect. but for a first try i'm suitably happy so far. Things you will probably notice is the shape in the center of my jet pack is wrong, that was due to a mistake when i was building the frame and to save from scrapping the whole thing i adapted it using a contact lens box i had lying around. second is the base isn't at the right angle, this again is down to the same mistake.
A few bits i thought might interest people -
Removable Rocket on Jet pack; I used an oasis bottle lid and top as it fitted inside the cones perfectly to able me to remove the rocket from the top of my pack - works great and providing you secure the cap well you wont have any problems.
Attaching the Jetpack This costume is to be worn behind a bar at Halloween, so i wanted to be able to shed some bits if it gets busy, and i came up with a simple way of making your jetpack removable and with no visible signs of attachment - Hard drive rare earth magnets. Fit a few at the top of your back plate and a few more at the bottom, with corresponding magnets on your jet pack they should be strong enough to keep it attached until you want to remove it - a quick pull from a friend and your free.
the balls for the boosters; iv used kids toy vending balls from my local pub - max of 2 quid and are the right size and don't look bad (see one of the pics below) and the use of a oasis lid and bottle top that fits perfectly into the rocket to allow it to be removed (again see below).
My Boots; i will confess iv copped out on, i wasn't spending 90 quid on a pair and didn't have the time to latex a pair so i got some grey snow boots from eBay for 6 quid and intend to use them. there not perfect but i am hoping in future to adapt them so they look closer to the real thing, or play with a pair of converse to make my own.
My Ammo Belt; i am proud of this - all 8 pouches have cost me £2.79 for the leatherette, some card and a bit of glue. they all work and are pretty sturdy, and iv just threaded them onto a leather belt i had just lying round the house.
Gauntlets are mid build at the moment but i made the mistake of using foam board for them - if anyone out there is thinking of this for a first time like me - use card as you don't have to fanny about cutting sections out so it can fold.
The Armour; iv used 1.5mm thick Upvc that i got from a friend - its sturdy and lightweight enough to work, but can be cut with scissors and heated in hot water o bend - or a hairdryer. I intend to use press studs to clip it onto the jumpsuit/flak vest and ill upload some pictures of that once i get closer to finishing.
Hope this helps anyone thinking of jumping onto this for the first time like me -
Cheers, Chris.

This was unfinished but I threw it together to Trick or Treat with my son
Formerly from the TDH main page rotation...
in progress
These suits are great. Seeing them here makes me wish for a neighborhood of Fetts. I think Fetts make good neighbors.
I've posted mine plenty before but here's a few reminders:
From ANH Special Edition when they had the shoulder armor reversed:
And the more standard ROTJ Special Edition:
These are all great. Bob those are beautiful shots of an incredibly impressive costume. Makes me want to build an SE Fett and I never thought that would happen!
