In direct opposition to Government guidelines, a new report suggests that babies should be weaned from four months - not six
A new report from leading scientists has caused controversy among experts and left mums baffled.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, directly contradicts current Department of Health guidelines, which clearly states starting weaning at six months.
The new research, carried out by three UK universities, advises that waiting until six months can increase the likelihood of a child developing allergies and having low iron levels.
In 2003, the Government introduced new recommendations (based on WHO guidelines) - that babies should not be weaned before six months. This was a major change to previous advice, which had recommended starting at four months.
Now we face a potential U-turn, which puts mums in the frustrating position of wondering whose advice is right.
So what does the report actually recommend?
Leader of the research, Dr Mary Fewtrell who is a paediatrician from the University of London Institute of Child Health, advises that mums shouldn't feel they have to wait until their baby is six months before introducing solids.
Instead, the advice is to look out for signs that your baby is ready, and as long as you've reached the four month stage, launch in with the solids.
What do they say is wrong with waiting until six months?
The scientists raise two main concerns in their research:
Babies are born with six months' supply of iron, but that after this time they need to absorb iron from their diet and breastmilk alone can not supply enough iron content.
By starting weaning at six months, the risk is that it may take some mums a while to reach the stage where they're giving their baby iron-rich foods (most mums will start with baby rice and simple fruits and vegetables). This could mean a baby isn't getting enough iron, during important developmental growth.
How does this affect breastfeeding?
It doesn't - and no one is saying stop breastfeeding. The scientists are careful to stress that breastfeeding is the healthiest option for feeding your baby, and recommend exclusive breastfeeding until at least four months. There's also no reason to stop breastfeeding after you start weaning.
As you slowly increase the volume of solid food, your baby will naturally cut down the amount of milk he drinks. However, you can supplement the milk he's taking from breastfeeds by adding expressed milk into some of the meals.
What's been the reaction to the reports?
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) has criticised the report, along with the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Janet Fyle, professional policy adviser at the RCM, stated, "I really must challenge the suggestion that the UK should reconsider its current advice on exclusive breastfeeding for six months.
"I believe that this is a retrograde step and plays into the hands of the baby-food industry which has failed to support the six-month exclusive breastfeeding policy in the UK.
The Department of Health is currently sticking to its advice to wait until six months.
"Breast milk provides all the nutrients a baby needs up to six months of age and we recommend exclusive breastfeeding for this time," explained a DoH spokesperson.
"Mothers who wish to introduce solids before six months should always talk to health professionals first."
However, the DoH also announced that it has asked a panel of scientists to consider all the evidence, including these new findings, and a report will be produced later this year.
Still confused?
The main thing is not to feel concerned if you weaned your little one at six months or at four months or somewhere in between. The best message is that mums should trust their own instincts. Don't be influenced by whether your friends are starting to wean their babies. Take it at your baby's pace, introduce new foods slowly and look out for any adverse reactions. Also, whether your baby is four months or six months, make sure you're always with her when she's eating.
Finally, if you're unsure when to start, talk to your GP or health visitor who will be able to advise you.

@ Avan-
While I appreciate your insight (my other alt is a healie priest), I don't see how any of that is my problem. It is not my problem that healing H Nexus for the 4th time this week in full 245 is easy as all getout, and its not my problem that healers go afk when they should be healing.
Usually when I run something below any of the ICC 5 mans, I put a couple pieces of DPS gear on, but to stay capped I'm still going to be running around with enough EH and avoidance to make healing fairly trivial. If you're really hunting for a challenge, heal in ur dps spec or gear, hop out of shadow/chicken to heal then back in to dps, but I don't see how it is my job to make outgeared heroics hard.
In the end, healers signed up to take a random heroic just like the rest of us, and if it happens to be really easy thats part of that whole "random" element. I'm not going out of my way to get a lazy healer to do his job just cause its not that hard.

In our job placement company we interview job applicants every day. Some of the applicants are applying for specific employment while others are being interviewed so that we can place them into our talent inventory for future employment.
We consider ourselves job placement coaches for two reasons – first our employer client often needs assistance defining the type of person they require; and second because our applicants have a difficult time determining what the best employment options are for them.
In order to get the right person for the right job with a person-future fit focus we have developed the following 5 points for conducting a great job interview process. For each of the first three tips the following questions apply:
This one seems obvious, however, let's dig a little deeper. What talents do the job functions require – critical thinking, empathy, initiative, or self-starting ability – to name a few? It's important to understand how those talents determine successful job fulfillment. Once you can understand how the talents relate to the functions you are able to develop interview questions that elicit a candidate's talents in the required talent areas. Understanding a person's talents – and non-talents is the first component in conducting a great interview.
Every company has a set of values that it promotes and embraces – either explicitly or implicitly. We ask our clients a series of questions to help us to understand what their values are, and by extension, what values will be important for potential employees. We have seen quite a few situations where clients have told us that the person they let go "was just not a good fit for the company – their interests were not ours." Understanding a person's motivations and drivers is the second component in conducting a great interview.
Someone asked me recently why this was important. Well, I need to know if there will be a chemistry mix at the company. Usually there is a skills match in most people we interview for the job for which we are recruiting. Understanding a person's behavioral style is the third component in conducting a great interview.
Yes, you certainly should ask questions that verify credentials and experience, and with recent publicity about the validity of these – hire a qualified firm to conduct an educational and credit check. Listen to the words they use, how they look you in the eye (or not), and their body language (smile, slumping shoulders, too rigid, relaxed).
There are three types of questions we use to help identify talents, values and behaviors:
Take some time during the interview to ask the applicant what type of work, what type of company, what type of roles she wants to have. Ask her how she wants to be valued within a company. Try to get a sense that she is going to stay – or not with the company and position you are interviewing for. The answers to these questions will help to also tell you how self-aware the applicant is – and whether you want to hire her for this very important position.

OK I can explain. I attended these two gatherings with days and the players are not the same yet covering co-occurring issues recreating wheels and spinning in circles. After 26 years of observation, there is a vital need for saving lives together outside comfortable silos of duplication. Speaking of trauma, I've had two incidents with same security officer at SAMHSA that crossed sexual boundaries and excessive force. Eileen Z and I can further elaborate. Point being SAMHSA needs to practice trauma informed security at home before rolling out across the country.

She's a vital part of his life and always will be. To say he has 'abandoned' her is a vicious lie. To say it in lurid headlines with a tearful picture of Suri is reprehensible."

It wasn't that she couldn't. She just didn't want to.
That's what Bryke said…
I just wanna cry. This is what this ship does to me.
Damn it you two…you just couldn't compromise? Usually, I get angry and take it all out on Tenzin or Pema. But…..Lin….ugh!
I still understand you more than anyone. We are on the same page after all…for the most part.
I blame this on her father now. If he really did just straight up leave Toph, then this would all make sense. It would be the "I don't want to be hurt and left behind like my mother was" mentality. So she refused to go any further into the relationship, and then Tenzin just left.
Whether or not that was Lin's intentions is up to question.
As much as I want Lin to find another, I just can't imagine her with anyone else but Tenzin.
But you guys don't even understand why exactly this upsets me.
Or maybe I'm just upset because I'm already having a really bad day.
Oh, my Linzin feels.))

Recession takes its emotional toll on cities
The economic downturn could lead to higher rates of crime, divorce, alcohol and drug abuse, depression and suicide.

Leslie Storm, director of an Oregon suicide help line, is scrambling to find shelter for a cash-strapped 52-year-old man who says he will hang himself by the end of the week.
The man, who could not work for a couple of months because of a medical condition, told Storm that he is behind on his rent and his roommate planned to kick him out this week. It is the kind of situation she is dealing with more in these days of rising unemployment and evictions.
"He's telling me that he is slipping through the cracks, and it breaks my heart," says Storm, director of the crisis line program of the Oregon Partnership. "He has medical problems and says he can't go live under a bridge."
The Oregon suicide and drug and alcohol help lines received 71% more calls in January 2009 than it did the previous January, including more calls from people having suicidal thoughts because of severe financial stress, Storm said.
Promoting awareness
The federal government and nonprofit advocacy groups are getting the word out about the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-TALK) and focusing more on other prevention efforts because they are worried that the rising tide of unemployment and foreclosures could lead to more depression, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce and ultimately for the most vulnerable, suicide.
Slide show: America's top 10 unhappiest cities
At the same time, the recession has forced state governments to cut back on social services designed to help people in physical, mental and financial stress at exactly the time when demand for those services is greatest, says Susan Byrne Lee, president and chief executive officer of Mental Health America of Northeast Florida.
- MSN Health & Fitness: Depression symptoms, treatments and causes
The nationwide data on suicide lags by three or four years, so it likely won't be known whether suicides are spiking for a few years, by which point everyone hopes the recession will be over. But even before the crisis, suicide rates were higher in certain parts of the country — especially in the Intermountain West, including Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and Oregon — and lowest in densely populated states such as New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey. It is unclear why this is the case, but researchers believe that people in more rural states might have less access to care, tend to be more isolated and have ready access to guns.
To get a sense of where the pain points are greatest, BusinessWeek.com came up with a list of the 20 unhappiest cities. These are major cities that were ranked based on their rates of suicide, depression, divorce, unemployment, job loss, population loss, crime, amount of green space and cloudy days. BusinessWeek.com gave most emphasis to suicide and depression rates, crime and economic factors. The city with the highest overall score in our index was Portland, the beautiful Oregon city that also has very high depression and suicide rates. St. Louis, New Orleans and Detroit were high on the list, largely because of their rates of crime, unemployment and population loss. Other cities such as Las Vegas and Jacksonville, Fla., ranked high because of their suicide rates and difficult economic conditions.
In Las Vegas, a suicide increase
Mike Murphy, coroner for Clark County, Nev., which includes Las Vegas, said he has noticed an increase in economy-related suicides, but he doesn't have any hard data yet.
He is seeing more suicides involving elderly people, including two recent husband-and-wife suicide pacts. The increase in suicide among seniors could be because of economic conditions. But it could also be because Las Vegas has become a destination for retirees, he said.
He said it is a misconception that Vegas suicides are tied to gambling (though it's impossible to know the precise causes). Murphy said people who take their own lives might have had problems long before they moved to Las Vegas.
"A lot of people will come to communities such as ours to make a new start in life," Murphy said. "But if they bring habits from where they came from, nothing will change except geography."
Las Vegas, it worst than you write. I have lived here for 11 years. I am with a wonderful man that his wife committed suicide for she got into the Gambling really hard. Sad but true. That happened 11 years ago.
There is not a lot to do here that does not have to going to shows or drinking or gambling. You go anywhere there is a slot machine just about. People really can get hooked easy. The water theme part was taken out, the putt putt golf was taken out.
I think that the housing and the economy has made things worse. here I live in a house that was worth about $300.00 a few years ago, now I am lucky to get 65,000 for it and we are upside down. The job market "stinks" and the Schools are the pits and they want to keep taking from our education. I am lucky I do not have SCHOOL AGE children, I Would not put them in the schools here. If we made this state all about education and it being so good, maybe we could draw people to Las Vegas. From Elementary to Colleges. They keep taking away from them... We are loosing out home, and we have no idea where we are going... But it is the worst feeling.... We had great credit up until the big economy went bad. We worked hard for that credit, now we have file bankruptcy, the people in Las Vegas understand it, for you would not believe how many people are having to do it, rolls of houses are boarded up in some places. But if you move to a different state it seems people are not to sure of you if you filed bankruptcy and your credit was excellent 10 years before that. but not anymore . Wonder what will become of Las Vegas, I wish it the best, but about time for us to get out....it is depressing, and I can see why people give up I am sorry to say end it.... If you work for something, your home, the american dream, and one day you loose it, it is not easy...if you have terrible health care that is worse. If you cant find a place for you have file bankruptcy that is sad, it is hard to rent, I have had a pet I have had for 10 years I do not want to give it up either. SO we are moving in a 19 foot travel trailer for now..... People say it is your fault, (meaning our fault) you do not know what happened you do not know what the ECONOMY is like in Vegas so please wear my shoes before you put me down or anyone else from Vegas. Help us with opening arms in your state for we are good people willing to work and willing to pay our way... but it is hard when the economy is as bad as LAS VEGAS!!!!!!!!!
if not pray for me and my family.... God Bless
Scranton, Pennsylvania is a depressing city. Poverty, political corruptness, nepotism has been running ramped for decades, unless you have money, power and/or connections it's almost impossible to get a good job. Almost everything is the area is so corrupt. People in positions of power are corrupt, but they place their unqualified family and friends into jobs that someone else is much more qualified to do. It's a good-old-boys network here, always has been always will be. We have very good colleges here, but a good portion of the students leave because it's hard to get a good job here. A good portion of the people are down right mean, backstabbing, self-centered, bullying and ignorant, but I guess that's almost everywhere. The city buildings are growing more empty everyday. The weather is typical of the Northeast, it usually sucks. People are having children that they shouldn't have and the taxpayers, people with jobs, have to pay for them. This has got to be the "armpit" of Pennsylvania. P.S. -There should be a list of some great places to live. I traveled a lot in the US and in Europe. San Diego, California is by far, in my opinion, the greatest place to live.....to bad California is nearly bankrupt, with 11-12% unemployment.....I was thinking I would eventually move their someday.
My daughter is graduating next year and we are checking out colleges. I sell high end real estate in Sarasota Florida. I use credible data supplied by online resources to determine what agents to target for referrals and where to spend my marketing dollars. On first blush, I looked at the top ten list of miserable cities and printed Jacksonville to give to my 17 year old daughter eliminating the University of North Florida (which is her top pick) because of your article. Then I got smart and read the blogs. I think when someone writes as this author did, picking trigger points to determine a cities value without really looking at the big picture you can change the direction of the city's pulse. It is kind of like calling a chubby girl fat in high school. Maybe she is on a diet and heading in the right direction. You have just completely derailed her progress and changed her path. Each town has it's glory.
I had dinner two nights ago with three couples from Germany. We discussed the rules of baseball, whether you can turn left of a double yellow line into the golf club and the american automobile industry. We discussed Real Estate. Here in Florida 45-50% (as reported by the National Association of Realtors) of our home sales are distressed properties. Our homes are selling at a discounted rate of 30-50%. A beach front property on the north tip of Siesta Key with a boat dock and lift in the back yard just listed two days ago for 899K. (Lowest recorded sale in the last three months has been 1.7M) It has two offers on it already and since it is a short sale will probably receive a dozen or more offers before the bank takes a look at the offers. The reality is that this is a National problem. All of it. The fact that baseball is loosing it's interest by younger generations as our nations favorite past time. That our nations automobile industry is in dire straights. And our real estate market, which affects everyone who prides themselves in owning a home, has been in decline for years. I for one could do without the negative spin on it all. I still love baseball. I still drive a car and I still own my home. (So far.) I have raised five kids who live in different cities across the US. And yes, we are in a transitional time in the history. Maybe we could get our journalists to be held to a different level of reporting. Maybe my daughter will still choose UNF and she won't have to be on anti depressants.
I worked in Portland, Oregon for 14 years , then moved to New Mexico.
I miss Portland so much that I try to get up there at least 5 times a year to visit friends/family and just be around the lush green trees, grass and beautiful flowers in the NW. I also enjoy the shopping there, the fine gourmet restaurants and the night life...
I would move back there in a New York second !!
Portland ,Oregon is one of the BEST cities to live/work if you ask me.
I read this posting with curiosity and all the responses,,,I live in Florida,,,,beautiful,,,,and yes, I am from Tampa,,,,and to the post that said all Floridians are stupid,,,I am not,,,I have a Master's degree and am working further,,,I do agree Tampa is not much fun, but as a single parent raising 2 children,working nights,putting my daughter through college,as a Nurse I work long hours, I am on the disaster team worldwide and sometimes find myself gone for months at a time, I have to say Florida is gorgeous,,,and I reprimand myself often for not taking advantage of such gorgeous beaches that are 15 mins away,,,,I get so busy with what is expected I forget what is around me,,,,,bottom line,,,it is you that makes you happy, I have been miserable here so many times,,,so busy, so stressed,,,wishing I was back in my mountains of Wales, enjoying the serenity,,,,forgetting I have the beach,I only go there when my "problems" overwhelm me,,,,I go to the beach and it puts in perspective how little I am and therefore my problems are minute,,,after a trip to the beach I can handle anything,,,and yes, I grew up in dismal climates,,,I miss the seasons,,,but do not miss the grey of sky,,,the drizzling rain,,,,,I do so miss the green, the mountains,,,and the castles,,, I am grateful, I have a job, a good job,,,,my heart hurts to see the misery in this country,,,I thank God it is not me,,,I help as my schedule allows,,,my children and I work soup kitchens, donate as much as we can,,,I am not a religious person but I am thankful for what I have,,,which is not much,,,but my mantra is and always has been "But for the Grace of God go I",,never been in a church, do not beleive in organized religion,,,,but I do talk to him often,,more ranting and raving than talk,,,but he knows me by now,,,point is,,,you are where you are,,,look hard enough there are redeeming qualities wherever you are,,,it is easy to jump on the negative,,,,just a stupid idiom I learned in school,,,,a frown burns 80calories,,,,a smile burns 60 but does your whole body good,,,,my mantra,,,,happiness is healthier,,,you get more bees with honey than vinegar
I am very surprised that Dallas, Texas is not listed as one of the most unhappy cities. People have lost the Southern Manners around the time of the influx of 'yankees' and other non-southerners invaded Texas. Dislike what I write but it is a fact from someone that has lived in Texas all my 52 years. People are rude in Texas. It was not so bad in small Texas Towns until about 2000 but now it is all over Texas.
And Dallas is nothing more than LA without the perks like nice weather when there is no smog, high wages, movie stars, etc.
All the problems associated with LA are present in Dallas. I may have lived in Texas all my life but I am well traveled.
I would take LA over Dallas any day and would move there but it is like swapping the Devil for the Witch. both stink.
But Protland is supposed to composed of old hippies that fled California, isn't it? Maybe that is the problem. The hippy dream is really a bust for too many.
I don't live in Portland, but have been there many times and do find the Northwest as very depressing...there is a "feeling" that hits a visitor once you leave the airport...hard to put a finger on it, but the houses look "sad"...everything is dark and dank...and then with the miserable cloudy, dreary weather, it is no wonder Portland is #1. Sure those few summer days when the sky is blue and Mount Hood is right there is stunning, but too many other days in the year are just too depressing.
And to the guy who thinks Tampa is exciting? Yuck...stupidest people on earth live there and in Florida in general...and too damn hot...Jack-slum-ville is indeed depressing...houses right near downtown that look like they are from poorest parts of Africa. The list is pretty accurate. I travel a great deal and have been to all of the cities on the list but would add, SEATTLE, it is as bad, if not worse than Portland.

Interview: Jason Statham of 'Parker'
'Shooting a fight scene? It's frustrating, it's difficult ... and at the same time, the reward is always good.'
Combining the capacity for explosive action with no small amount of charm, Jason Statham became an unlikely action star for the new millenium, one with both fast reflexes and a quick wit. In "Parker," Statham plays the title character -- a consummate professional, and professional thief, who has to set things right according to his standards when his partners on a heist rip him off and leave him for dead after an all-cash robbery. Taken from a beloved series of hard-boiled crime novels written by Donald Westlake under the name Richard Stark, there's more Parker novels to be brought to the big screen ... if, as Statham notes, the Box Office is good. We spoke with Statham in Los Angeles.
MSN Movies: This character comes from a long series of books. He's been played by Lee Marvin and Peter Coyote and other luminaries. Did you know about this when you read the script or did you dive into the history of the character as you read it?
Jason Statham: As I finished it, it all became apparent. The script just came to me and it was adapted by John J. McLaughlin, a brilliant writer. And then we looked a little bit deeper and found out he came with such a fantastic pedigree and you start to read about Donald and his fabulous history and realized we were into something really great.
Obviously when you signed onboard a film that makes it very easy for the film to get make, but as the other cast members sort of accrued around you, like Mr. Chiklis, Miss Lopez, Mr. Nolte -- were you really impressed by the caliber of supporting cast that were filling out this movie?
Exactly. That is responsible from the greatness of Taylor Hackford. He has a great history of filmmaking, and he's an Academy Award nominated director -- I think he actually won an Academy Award for a short film, so I must stand corrected there. So he's just tremendous, and he brings a great confidence and actors want to work with people like that.
I watch a lot of action trailers as a professional hazard, and a lot them just look like moments from video games -- you know, just pixels. But when you have that hotel room fight, and it's you and the other actor hurling each other around, how great it is to make that kind of analog mayhem to watch on the big screen?
(Laughs) It's a lot of things. It's frustrating, it's difficult, you never have enough time ... but at the same time, in the same breath, the reward is always good because when it's finished and the sequence is the best it can be, they take all the wires out from the balcony ... it turns out pretty good. But you're always up against the restrictions of time and then trying to get the right sort of things together. But I love that stuff. It's the crowd-pleasing sort of popcorn moments where they think, "Is he dead?" and there's a surprise ... it's great.
And also a lot more fun to watch than just somebody going click, click, click with this little computerized action figure, right?
Filming in Palm Beach, Florida, which had not been done for decades, you're going around one of the wealthiest communities in America with the circus of a film crew. How was that? Was that strange or fun?
I'd never been to Palm Beach, so I was pleased just to see the immense houses around there. We had a great crew of people helping us out. We were very friendly with the locals, and we seemed to get the job done. It was really nice to be down there working.
One final question, there are some 20 odd novels about Parker. If this goes well, will you be looking through the stack of them to find the next one?
(Laughs) Let's see how well this goes first.
It's to be hoped.
Yeah, it's a great privilege to play in one of them, so if we were fortunate enough to have a certain amount of success, that would be great. It's a privilege to make movies these days; so many people want to make movies, and we're in the business, so if we can keep going, that's great.

Tyler Caraway said...
There should be a choice between defensive and offensive utility -- we see this in all classes.
In fact, warlocks make this choice far more often than other players do. Which pet do you use? Some have more offensive based utility, others have more defensive based utility. Which spells do you interrupt? Do you send your Felhunter out after that mage trying to Frost Bolt you, or wait and use it on that paladin's Holy Light? Do you use Demon Armor for additional armor and health regeneration? Or do you use Fel Armor for additional spell power and a smaller health return on single target damage? Should I Life Tap now for additional mana? Should I use Drain Life to heal myself but deal less damage?
All classes make choices between defensive utility and offensive utility from time to time -- it is the basic principle of any game. However, no class has anything remotely similar to Soul Shards and Soulburn.
Soul Shards are the defensive utility for warlocks, but the limit of three per encounter makes the "choice" non-existent. In PvE; do you just not use Soulburn ever on the off-chance that you might need to use a Soul Shard for a Healthstone? In PvP, you are ever only going to the offensive utility if you -know- that the burst it would provide is going to result in a kill, otherwise it doesn't make any sense at all to waste your already limited defensive utility minor burst damage.
The limitation on 3 Soul Shards is the largest issue that faces the entire system, but even that isn't quite the same. You simply cannot compare the utility provided by Soulburn to that of other classes. Even if Soul Shards weren't an issue, there is a 45 second cooldown to contend with. HoPo doesn't take 45 seconds to recharge, nor does Maelstrom Weapon, nor Combo Points.
Warlocks already have these innate defensive mechanics built into their spell and pet choices; they shouldn't have to also content with Soul Shards and Soulburn.

HK unionists protest outside S'pore consulate over bus strike clampdown
®Copyright MediaCorp
Hong Kong's trade union body held a protest at the Singapore Consulate today.
About 20 members of the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions called on the Singapore government to reinstate the 29 drivers who've been repatriated and to drop the charges for the five who were detained.
Scuffles broke out among the protestors, building security personnel and police, when they weren't allowed to go up to the 9th floor Consulate office at Admiralty Centre, to submit their petition letter.
But after a short stand-off, the protestors were finally granted access.
The labour group argued that Singapore didn't respect international labour standards that allow workers to strike and called for equal remuneration for migrant workers.
The mainland drivers had been protesting for pay that was equal to that of their Malaysian counterparts and for better working and housing conditions.
The group also called on the Singapore government to amend the law stipulating that workers providing essential services need to give 14 days advanced notice before striking.

Making its debut on Audi's stand at the Detroit Motor Show, alongside the SQ5, Ingolstadt's latest RS model appears as some well-timed artillery against the also very recently announced BMW M6 Gran Coupe.
It's based on the Audi A7, naturally, but only in body shape doth this RS7 share any sibling genetics. Because underneath rests the same twin-turbocharged, 4.0-litre V8 engine as used in the upcoming RS6 Avant (itself only announced last month). At this rate we'll be getting a new RS-model every few minutes.
So that V8. It's the same one used by Bentley, and Audi in the S8, producing some 552bhp and 516lb ft of torque, which if you're unaware, is a significant amount of firepower. Audi reckons that - mated to a standard eight-speed automatic box and quattro four-wheel-drive - the new RS7 will accelerate from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds and hit a limited top speed of 155mph.
Tick the 'Dynamic Plus' pack and you'll raise that top speed to 189mph. Nice. Incidentally, the M6 Gran Coupe's pub-lording stats are 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds and the possibility of 189mph. Clearly, the battle for pub supremacy is won in tenths.
Take Audi RS5. Remove metal roof. Replace with rag-top that folds in 15 seconds at up to 31mph. Add 200kg of stiffeningy weight. Drive like stole.
Not to undermine Audi's technical achievements here, but that seems to be what's happened to an RS5 coupe here.
The drivechain hasn't changed - it's still a 445bhp 4.2-litre V8 with a seven-speed dual-clutch 'box powering all four wheels. It rides, as per the tin top, on adaptive dampers (albeit 20mm lower) that stiffen up when the going gets sporty, and there's special modes that tighten the steering and throttle response.
The numbers haven't suffered too much from the decapitation; it's 0.4 seconds slower to 62mph, clocking in at 4.9 seconds and carrying on to 155mph (raised to 174mph if you cross Ingolstadt's palm with silver).
First thing's first: it's not coming to us in the US. But like the Pagani that's not showing up in our driveway anytime soon, it doesn't mean we can't admire it from afar:
It gets Audi's hand-built 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine. That means 444bhp and 317lb ft of torque being fed through Audi's quattro system; a system with a self-locking crown-gear centre differential capable of attributing up to 70 per cent of the power up front, or as much as 85 to the rear.
Audi claims a 0-62mph sprint of just 4.7 seconds and a derestricted top speed of 174mph, along with a claimed 25.7mpg. The whole car sits 20mm lower than the standard A4 estate on 19in forged aluminium alloys (20in are optional, naturally), that don't really hide 365mm lightweight, vented 'wave' disc brakes with six-piston calipers. Sufficient stopping power to unsettle items of confectionary you may have stored in the rear.

Ah, the Super Bowl. An epic battle of skill, strength, and creativity where position means everything and 30 seconds can feel like an eternity.
And that's just the advertising.
Last night we asked the followers of @TopGear_BBCA what their favorite Super Bowl car ads were and they responded like Eli Manning on a late fourth quarter drive. Here we give you the play by play:
(if you're viewing this post in the Tumblr dashboard, click through for the video embeds)
Audi was first out the gate with their vampire sendup for the new A7.
It was undoubtedly funny but $3 million seems like a lot to spend on a headlight ad.
Another early fan favorite was Volkswagen's "The Dog Strikes Back" introducing their redesigned Beetle.
Chevy had strong showings with it's "Happy Grad" Camaro and "2012" Silverado commercials…
But it was its Chevy Sonic stunts which we are unofficially calling "Chevy's Unofficial Tribute to Top Gear" which got the most mentions of the three.
Acura's highly touted Jerry Seinfeld commercial starred their new NSX concept, a car that we are excited to see built…
… but it's the fine print at the end that makes us cringe. As we've stated before, the NSX isn't scheduled to debut for another three(!) years
"Concept vehicles shown. Actual models may vary. NSX projected debut in next three years. Dates subject to change."
We feel bad for all of those potential NSX buyers who will have to line up for Acura's new compact sedan instead.
Fiat seemed to come out of nowhere to secure the lonely hetero male non-Italian-speaking vote:
But it was Chrysler's "It's Halftime in America" ad with Clint Eastwood that seemed to knock Top Gear fans on their collective emotional rears.
Strange enough, there was little mention among Top Gear fans of Honda's "Ferris Bueller" spot for the CRV.
But of course, the greatest car ad of all time, Super Bowl or not, is the advert that James and Jeremy came up with for the VW Scirocco.
Yes it was, @Cowabunga. Yes it was.
via TopGear.com:
Expensive, two-seater supercars. OK, so they look cool, go extremely fast, have superb handling based on millions of dollars of research, slip through the air like greased lightning after about a decade in a wind-tunnel, and you can sell them on to someone else for lots of money when you're finished. But you can only take one of your mates for a ride.
And if this is the reason you purchased a Vauxhall Zafira over an Audi R8, we have good news. Limo Brokers in the UK now claim to have an answer: an eight-seater R8 limo with eight gullwing doors.
It's an engineering problem we've noticed and tackled before on Top Gear. But our experience making limos proved that it's a lot harder than it looks…

In the fight against unnecessary use of the capslock key, Audi debuted two allroad (that's right. all lowercase) wagons today but only one is bound for the U.S.
The A4 based allroad (the one on top) is coming to the states, with a 211 horsepower turbocharged 4 with 258 pounds-foot of torque, 8-speed tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive. The A6 allroad is staying in Europe (for now) and is detailed by TopGear.com below:
the new A6 allroad sits six centimetres higher than the standard estate and uses adaptive air suspension, lowering and raising that smart-looking body by 15mm and 35mm respectively when required. Visual indicators come via wider, flared arches, a single-frame grille, roof rails, together with stainless steel covers protecting the front and rear underbody.
It only comes as a 3.0-litre V6; Audi is offering the petrol 310bhp V6 that hits 62mph in 5.9 seconds, and three versions of the V6 diesel, in 204bhp, 245bhp and 313bhp variants. That last unit is a twin-turbo and pushes out 479lb ft of torque, coaxing the allroad to go from 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds.
As the name suggests, you get all-wheel-drive, and Audi has paired the most powerful diesel to an eight-shifter auto, the other three engines using the seven-speed S tronic 'box.
We haven't seen the allroad in the US since 2005. Back then it was the A6-based car.
See more pics of the Audi A6 allroad here
This is faster than a JCW Mini. It's faster than the Corsa VXR Nürburgring. It's also faster than a Ford Focus ST and nudges the VW Golf R for pace. This is the turbocharged, four-wheel-drive Audi A1 Quattro. Merry Christmas.
Like a mini Walter Rohrl-shaped gift to the world, Audi has announced plans to produce 333 left-hand-drive models of this, the fastest production A1 ever built.
It's destined for mainland Europe for now, but Audi tells us positive customer reaction to this bonkers little thing could see it reach our potholed shores. And that's an intriguing prospect, because it packs 252bhp from a turbocharged, 2.0-litre TFSI unit and 258lb ft of torque from between 2,500rpm and 4,500rpm. All the Audi's horses and torques help propel it from 0-62mph in just 5.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 152mph. That's really quick.
Read the details at TopGear.com
It comes after two and a half years of development in conjunction with Audi, and is an open-topped, two seat roadster. That Audi hookup means the GTO - yes, a rather presumptive name - gets the same 2.5-litre turbocharged five-pot as the RS3 and TT RS, producing 340bhp and 331 torques from just 1,600rpm.
Donkervoort has added its own magic to this motor though, lifting an estimated 30kg of weight thanks to a redesigned inlet manifold "that follows a more favourable route through the motor area". Mr Joop hasn't released performance figures, but couple this power to the GTO's weight of around 700kgs and you can estimate what kind of acceleration the car is capable of. Hint: lots.
But there's more. Donkervoort tells us there's a special race module switch on the dashboard that instantly ups the power of that five-pot to 400bhp.
Intrigued? Read the rest at TopGear.com
Did we mention that the Range Rover Evoque is Top Gear's 2011 Car of The Year? Not sure? Well we're mentioning it now:
BBC TopGear Magazine have named the new Range Rover Evoque as their 2011 Car of the Year. The Evoque came top in the SUV category of the annual awards and was also picked by TopGear TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson as his favourite new car this year.
The Evoque beat stiff competition from the BMW 1 Series M, Mclaren MP4 12c, Ferrari FF, VW Up! and Kia Picanto to scoop the coveted Car of the Year title. The awards are officially announced in the December issue of BBC TopGear Magazine.
The judging panel, headed up by BBC TopGear Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Charlie Turner, comprised members of the magazine's editorial and road testing team, together with the three TopGear TV presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
Hard to argue with their choice, however the Audi A7 still looks pretty sweet to us. What would you have picked as your Car of the Year?
First, there was the Mercedes-Benz CLS. And it was good. Then, the Audi A7. That was also good. Now, Internet, meet the third contender for the crown of ultimate luxo-four-door-coupe-thingy: the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.
It's the first four-door coupe BMW has ever built, and its launch next year will kick off a Teutonic three-way tussle so explicit it'd make the Internet's most liberal adult film purveyors blush.
That long, low and wide stance with short overhangs - and driver-focused cockpit - shows us it has BMW's driving DNA etched into its flanks, though whether it can offer up any more joy than the capable-but-anodyne coupe and convertible versions remains to be seen.
We can't wait for the comparison drive. We also just want to hear Jezza pronounce the word 'koo-PAY'.
So what do you think Tumblr? CLS, A7, or Gran Coupe?

The fudge I made definitely reached 235 degrees WAY faster than the directions said. I got a really great taste but not quite the consistency I was hoping for. I am positive that if I had poured the hot fudge right into the foil lined pan and mixed the butter / vanilla in there, it would have been perfect, omitting the 2-pan step. I am going to do that next time and I' sure I'll wind up with both great consistency and great taste.
Dark Chocolate Fudge
Notes: Use a heavy pan to reduce the risks of sticking or burning. Fudge slices best and tastes creamiest if it's allowed to mellow overnight.
Yield: Makes 3 pounds (48 oz.)

- 6. Let stand undisturbed until a thermometer inserted in center of candy registers 115° (pan is warm to touch), 20 to 30 minutes. With a wide metal spatula, scrape mixture back and forth in pan until it becomes smooth and glossy and starts to thicken and mound but is still soft and malleable, 4 to 10 minutes. Add nuts and mix just enough to distribute.
- 7. Scrape fudge into foil-lined pan. Let stand until firm to touch, at least 2 hours. Invert pan to release candy. Peel off foil.
- 8. With a sharp knife, cut fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. Or wrap the uncut fudge airtight and store at room temperature up to 1 week.

Dealing With The Office Dress Code As Piercings And Tattoos Proliferate
The biggest challenges to the practice of podiatry change from time to time. For a long time, it was orthopods. They quieted down when we all faced the new challenges of governmental regulations and insurance companies. None of these issues was as difficult to me as the office dress code.
When I started practice in 1975, most of my staff wore white dresses from nursing uniform shops. I did not need an official dress code. I only asked that the dresses be modest with no plunging necklines. Everybody complied without complaint.

LAWRENCEVILLE - The world's most famous hockey mom is coming to the Gwinnett Arena, but not for a Gladiators game.Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who rose to political stardom this fall as John McCain's vice presidential nominee, will headline a series of rallies for U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss the day before he faces Democrat Jim Martin in a runoff. "Wow, what a treat," said Gwinnett GOP Chairman Gregory Howard. "She was a big part of the excitement in that ticket. ... We feel very lucky to get her out here." Palin is the latest in a long street of national political figures hitting the campaign trail in Georgia for the runoff, which could decide if Democrats have a filibuster-proof 60 seats in the Senate. She is just the second, though, to come to Gwinnett, not only one of the largest county's in the state but a traditional Republican stronghold. While Barack Obama won the presidency, Gwinnettians chose McCain-Palin by a vote spread of 158,746 to 129,025. Howard said supporters could fill the arena at the 4 p.m. Monday rally. "I think it'll be overwhelming, especially being late enough in the day for people to get off work a little early and come," he said. "I expect there to be a banner crowd." Martin's campaign said they have invited Obama to campaign with him, but there is no word yet on whether the president-elect will come to Georgia. He has recorded a radio advertisement and automated phone calls for Martin, a former state senator and human resources commissioner. Earlier this month, McCain traveled to Georgia for a rally, and other GOP presidential hopefuls former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney attended events for Chambliss. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was part of a FairTax rally with Chambliss at the Arena at Gwinnett Center. For Martin, former President Bill Clinton and his Vice President Al Gore have made appearances. The Palin rally is free for the general public, but attendees must RSVP at www.procatalog.com/saxby or by visiting the "Action Center" at www.saxby.org.

purgatorybartender replied to your post: I think you'd look dashing in a cowboy hat and chaps. Yee-haw.
I think I have a hat to match somewhere around here.
I didn't realize you were so into roleplaying, Shae. I wonder what other sorts of fantasies rattle around in that lovely head of yours. Any involving international spies?
