It originated in The Queen's Park Hotel, Trinidad, during the 1920s - basically the grandmother of the mojito. A wonderfully rich rum cocktail that is refreshing, full of spice, and is as delicious as it is beautiful. The Angostura bitters line not only serves as an aromatic garnish, but also acts as a palate-cleansing last sip if left undisturbed while drinking. Very easy to make at home."

Shhh ...reading in progress
Federal information technology officials aren't just reading instruction manuals these days. From Harry Potter to the latest how-to book, they are digging in for summer reading.
At last week's Interagency Resources Management Conference in Cambridge, Md., Federal Computer Week took an informal survey to find out what members of the high-tech community are reading.
Karen Evans, the Office of Management and Budget's administrator for e-government and IT, doesn't stray too far from work even in
her free time. She's busy reading "Managing IT as a Business: A Survival Guide for CEOs" by Mark Lutchen. Ira Hobbs, chief information
officer at the Treasury Department, is deep into the fifth Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," by J.K. Rowling. He is anxiously awaiting the sixth installment, which will be released July 16.
Among the heavy readers:
Got duct tape?
Folks at the Homeland Security Department who are creating Ready.gov have been reading too many science fiction novels. They still have not figured out what qualifies as good advice for people to follow in the event of a catastrophic event, especially a nuclear one.
The Web site offers an intuitive plan of action for responding to a nuclear attack by terrorists: "Find yourself about a block away from the blast? Consider if you can get out of the area." To that, we'll add this advice: "Trust but verify," a motto from the Cold War that may someday come in handy.
Your check is not in the mail
More than 80 percent of federal workers receive their paychecks electronically, which means no payroll paper trail exists. More than 1.4 million workers take advantage of e-payroll services offered by a number of organizations, including the National Business Center, the National Finance Center, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, and GSA.
If your agency is not one of them, don't feel left out. Other agencies and departments will soon be using those e-payroll services, including the Environmental Protection Agency, FBI, Broadcasting Board of Governors, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Thrift Supervision, Federal Aviation Administration and the VA.
Good things come in small packages
Last week, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) outlined the House Republican High-Tech Working Group's priorities for the 109th Congress with a list that includes good things for high-tech companies and bad things for intellectual property theft. Just as the 108th congressional working group encouraged antispam legislation, this working group will go after spyware, phishing and piracy.
Legislation will also focus on research and development tax credits, math and science education to fill high-tech jobs, and fairness in government IT acquisitions. Goodlatte, the working group's chairman, has said he opposes giving every American a computer but wants to forge ahead with health IT and patent reform. And he wants to give everyone broadband access.
"We will work to fulfill the president's goal of access to broadband by working to create economic incentives, to remove regulatory barriers and to promote new technologies to help make broadband affordable for all Americans," Goodlatte said.
Don't we need computers for that?

Cadbury Nigeria Gains Most in Six Months on Valuation Bets
Cadbury Nigeria Plc, a manufacturer of drinks and food products, climbed the most in almost six months after gaining by the daily limit as investors bet its price will rise.
The stock gained 55 kobo, or the daily maximum limit of 5 percent, to 11:55 naira at the close, the biggest gain since Oct. 5 and the highest value since Jan. 20.
"Investors are betting that the value of the stock is currently too low, and that it will rise," David Adonri, chief executive officer of Lambeth Trust and Investment Co. Ltd., said by phone from Lagos. "Investors are optimistic about the future of the company, not necessarily the present." Cadbury may pay a dividend with a yield of about 2 percent, he said.
Cadbury forecast a 60 percent increase in net income to 339.2 million naira ($2.2 million) for the first quarter, it said on Dec. 6. Pretax profit was seen at 470.5 million naira for the period while revenue was estimated at 8.73 billion naira, the Lagos-based company said. The company returned to profit in 2010, after a loss in the preceding year.

By 2050, the world's population is expected to grow to nearly nine billion, that's equivalent of 2 more Chinas, while the ratio of arable land to population continues to decrease. Some of the agricultural lands also were being occupied by massive proliferation of real estate developments.
Modern agriculture is the most promising answer to the question of how to sustainably feed growing world
by using modern agricultural approach on how to maximize even just a narrow space for food production.
The United Nations food and Agriculture Organization predicts that global food production must double by 2050, and 70% of the world's additional food needs can be produced only with new and adapting agricultural technologies.
Intensive scientific research and robust investment in modern agriculture during the past 50 years, has helped farmers double food production while essentially freezing the footprint of total cultivated farmland. Which is the main objective of the project.
Elements for responsible food production:
- New technologies to help farmers use precise applications and fewer inputs
- Increase in productivity and higher yields
- Creates an affordable supply for nutritious foods and produce for communities throughout the world
Modern agriculture techniques and tools rely on the most innovative science to maintain a careful balance of farm inputs that optimize crop production while lessening potential impacts on the environment.
The following techniques focus on precision and sustainability without sacrificing crop yields:
- Conservation tillage
- Integrated pest management
- Crop rotation
More that 90% of farmers today regularly use these practices to protect human, animal and environmental health.
The term "modern agriculture" depicts their commitment to innovation, stewardship and meeting the global food challenge all at once, and there's nothing conventional about that.
On the other hand, crop protection products as a means of practicing modern agriculture increase crop productivity by 20-50%. Making it possible for consumers to choose from an abundant supply of fresh, high-quality food that are affordable and accessible year-round.
Crop protection products comprise a wide range of goods for both professional and home applications. It includes the following:
- Insecticides
- Fungicides
- Herbicides
- Sanitizers
- Growth regulators
- Rodenticides
- Soil fumigants that helps control insects, diseases, weeds, fungi and others
Crop protection also protects biodiversity by controlling noxious, invasive weeds that may choke waterways of overrun natural habitats.
Organic farmers use pesticides too. They apply non-synthetic crop protection, such as sulfur and copper, to protect crops from pests and increase yields.
Currently in the U.S., Two million acres of farmland are devoted to growing rice. Without crop protection products, it would take twice as many acres to provide the same supply.
The unique nature of U.S. agriculture and the role that it has played and can play in addressing climate change are many. Specifically, through the use of agricultural herbicides, crop yields can increase by up to 20% but also enable growers to manage weeds without excessive tillage.
Conservation tillage is a solution to greenhouse gas emission in at least 3 ways:
- Less fossil fuels burned for tillage
- Carbon sequestration increased in lower tilled soils
- Greater productivity per acre of land in production
Therefore, investment in agricultural yields through modern agriculture approach is a prominent step among efforts to reduce future greenhouse gas emissions.

Vilas County DA sues to stop DOJ from giving newspaper records about him
The district attorney for Vilas County has sued the state Department of Justice, and wants a judge to block DOJ's planned release of records it compiled about the prosecutor to a newspaper.
The Lakeland Times (paid access only) sought the records in July, it reported Monday. It requested any records related to any investigation of D.A. Albert Moustakis, his office operations or personal conduct.
In February, the state Department of Justice notified the paper it planned to release 85 censored pages. DOJ noted it had not substantiated any of allegations against Moustakis, the district attorney since 1995. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Mayoral candidate charged with lying to get on ballot won 37% of vote
A candidate forced to drop out of the race for Tomah mayor less than a month before Tuesday's election because of 1991 felony conviction still polled nearly 37% of the vote.
Leroy Kelsey stopped campaigning last month, but it was too late to remove his name from the ballot. He garnered 504 votes, losing to Shannon Hough, who got 806 votes, the La Crosse Tribune reported. Another 29 write-in votes were cast for others.
Kelsey, 67, was charged last month with two counts of false swearing, a felony, for asserting on his declaration of candidacy papers for mayor and alderman that he had never been convicted of a felony. »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Court rules against homeowners damaged in Lake Delton flood
Homeowners whose properties were washed away when Lake Delton dramatically broke through its banks in 2008 have been left and dry by their pursuit of damages from the Village of Lake Delton.
Thirteen residents from the subdivision hardest hit when the lake flooded out to the Wisconsin River sued the village, claiming the event amounted to an uncompensated taking, by inverse condemnation.
A judge threw out their lawsuit and on Thursday, the Court of Appeals for District 4 affirmed that decision. »Read Full Blog Post(7)
Judge cancels Ryan Braun's scheduled deposition in ex-friend's defamation lawsuit
Ryan Braun's sworn deposition in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by a former friend was abruptly canceled Friday by court order.
The Milwaukee Brewers star had been subpoenaed to appear for questioning by plaintiff Ralph Sasson on April 24, but a judge said at a hearing Friday that an unresolved discovery dispute forced postponement.
Sasson sued Braun and his agents last summer over how Sasson said he was treated after being hired to help Braun challenge a failed drug test. »Read Full Blog Post

Plaintiff made to wear prison garb, handcuffs at trial against guards deserves do-over
Inmates often wear orange to court for pretrial hearings and sentencings, but usually get to to wear civilian clothes for trials. If they must wear leg chains, they're usually hidden by a curtain on the defense table.
But at the 2012 trial of one inmate's federal civil rights claim against guards in federal court, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa not only kept the plaintiff dressed like an inmate (state prison green, actually), he kept him in handcuffs too, and had extra law enforcment officers placed near Maus. The defendants wore their guard uniforms.
Maus asked for a new trial, saying he was prejudiced by the appearances. Randa denied the request and Maus appealed and won. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
Group targets UW-Madison, Harvard, UNC over admissions practices
Wisconsin's flagship public university unfairly discriminates by race when deciding whom to admit, according to a group making similar claims against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Virginia-based The Project on Fair Representation announced Monday that it was launching websites seeking potential plaintiffs who were denied admission to the three universities, HARVARDnotFair.org, UNCnotFair.org and UWnotFair.org.
"The purpose of the websites is to educate the public about the unfair and unconstitutional admission policies of the three universities and seek out students who have been recently rejected from these schools," the group said in a news release. »Read Full Blog Post(13)
Man walking with AR-15 rifle in St. Croix Co. convicted of loitering, will appeal
A municipal judge in western Wisconsin has dismissed one citation but upheld a second issued to a man for walking around Somerset last summer with an AR-15 rifle and a holstered handgun, and a statewide gun rights group said it will pay for the man's appeal.
Mark J. Hoffman, 24,, was cited in July for obstructing an officer and loitering after police found him with the weapons and he would not identify himself. Somerset is located in St. Croix County, on the Minnesota border.
The guns rights advocacy group Wisconsin Carry, Inc. paid for Hoffman's defense in the case, which went to trial before Somerset Municipal Judge Brad Nemec last week. »Read Full Blog Post(81)
Policy would encourage more victims to testify remotely at probation revocations
Hearings to revoke probation often take place in small rooms before administrative law judges, without the extra buffer space ans security of a traditional courtroom.
That leaves victims or witnesses who must testify in close proximity with the probations facing possible reincaration. There's an administrative rule in Wisconsin that provides for such witnesses to testify outside the probationers' presence in certain circumstances, but it's rarely used.
On Tuesday, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and Corrections Secretary Edward Wall announced release of a training video to explain the rule and how to use it to allow more victims who must testify at probation revocation hearings to do so without having to face people in small quarters. The announcement was part of National Victims' Rights Week. »Read Full Blog Post
After hung jury, immediate retrial in Family Dollar clerk's slaying
A jury couldn't decide whether Jason Wandick killed a Dollar Store clerk during a robbery last year, and prosecutors wasted no time retrying him for the homicide.
The trial got underway last week. On Monday, the jury found Wandick, 26, guilty of a different armed robbery, and of resisting an officer during his arrest, but could not reach verdicts on charges of first degree reckless homicide and attempted armed robbery at the Family Dollar at 4331 W. Oklahoma Ave. on Aug. 6.
The very next day, the parties were all back in Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Timothy Dugan's court selecting a new jury for Wandick's retrial on the Family Dollar counts. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
WI eases out-of-state rifle buying, expands protection for gun ranges
Amid the legislative sessison- ending rush of bill signings by Gov. Scott Walker were a couple gun related laws that weren't making much mainstream news.
But the NRA noticed, and thanked Walker for signing the NRA-backed measures into law, one of which could buttress a Waukesha County club's efforts to reopen a shooting range in Delafield, as reported at ammoland.com.
One would allow Wisconsin residents to buy and sell rifles and shotguns in all other states. Before the change, Wisconsinites could do so only in the contiguous states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan. »Read Full Blog Post(10)
Tesla responds to Wisconsin lemon law case over $95,000 car, questions lawyer's motivation
Luxury electric car maker Tesla Motors has responded to a Wisconsin lemon law case over one of its popular and lauded Model S sedans.
In a company blog, Tesla questioned the motivations of the plaintiff and his lawyer, who responded sharply in his own blog on Thursday, and his client issued a separate statement of indignation.
Milwaukee attorney Vince Megna, the self-proclaimed king of lemon law, sued Tesla Motors on Monday on behalf of Robert Montgomery, a Franklin physician. Given the company's high-flying status on Wall St. and among the automotive press, the suit quickly became a national story. »Read Full Blog Post(15)
Feds, others, seek to keep pimp's Bentley, cash and jewelry
The props that made convicted Milwaukee pimp Tyrone McMillian's YouTube video engaging -- $100,000 cash, a Bentley GT and over-sized custom jewelry -- are now in the legal sights of the federal government.
McMillian was convicted last year of sex trafficking and sentenced to 30 years In January, he filed a claim to recover the cash, car and bling that was seized from him when he was arrested back in 2011. A day later, his girlfriend claimed the car and a custom wristwatch. Later that month, Milwaukee County Child Support Services called dibs on the $94,600 in cash.
This month, federal prosecutors filed their own civil forfeiture action against the property, claiming it's all proceeds or purchased with proceeds of McMillian's crimes. They're asking the court to order that all the goodies be "condemned and forfeited" to the United States. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Stingley's story will the first in a new series of 25 minute videos called Crime and Punishment on VICE News.com.
Stingley, 16, died after the encounter at VJ's Food Mart, 9206 W. Schlinger Ave., West Allis, on Dec. 14, 2012.

Judge's ruling hasn't stopped all unneeded police report censoring
As reported recently, a Wisconsin judge has declared that cities have been over-censoring police reports over an unnecessary fear that routine information in them would violate a federal law about driver's license data privacy.
But until a few more judges, or more likely, an appellate court, gives the same direction and assurance, count on some cities to keep the black markers busy blotting out names, addresses, ages and genders.
The practice evolved after municipal insurers advised their customers it was easier to be safe -- and in violation of Wisconsin's open records law -- than sorry at the end of a potential class-action suit in federal court. That's what happened to Palatine, Ill,, after a driver claimed a parking ticket left publicly on his windshield violated the Drivers Privacy Protection Act, or DPPA. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Franklin doctor makes public settlement offer to Tesla in lemon law case
The Franklin man whose lemon law case against luxury electric car maker Tesla drew national attention has now made a public offer to settle the case.

His attorney, Vince Megna, made the settlement offer public in response to Tesla's comments about the suit on a company blog last week. »Read Full Blog Post(14)

Man's probation revoked, even after 'discharged absolutely' by Dept. of Corrections
Just because the Department of Corrections formally discharges you from a sentence and says you can vote again doesn't mean you're not still on probation, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Thursday, even if it was DOC's error not to have probation sentence in its records.
And that means you can be revoked and sent back to prison for acts you committed months after you were declared free and clear of DOC oversight.
In a 5-2 ruling, the court rejected the offender's arguments that DOC had lost jurisdiction over him, violated his due process rights by later jailing him on a revocation and that a circuit judge who ruled it was unfair did not have the option to make such a finding in a review of an administrative decision to revoke. »Read Full Blog Post(13)
Disbarred lawyer Randy Wynn pleads guilty
More than two years after telling authorities he had stolen about $780,000 from about 200 clients, disbarred Milwaukee lawyer Randy Wynn pleaded guilty to two counts of embezzlement Friday.
Prosecutors will ask that Wynn, 61, be sentenced to three years in prison, followed by six years of extended supervision, for stealing from clients who hired him to collect debts.
Wynn's lawyer, Steven Kohn, said he was unsure what sentence he will recommend for his client. He noted that Wynn had cooperated with authorities throughout the investigation. »Read Full Blog Post(4)
State Bar tops funding goal for zombie-themed mock trial nationals in Madison
With three weeks to go before 1,000 visitors descend on Madison for the National High School Mock Trial Championship, organizers said Monday they exceeded their fundraising and volunteer goals.
"It's a nice sigh of relief," said Andrea Gage, public relations coordinator with the State Bar of Wisconsin. "But it's going to a massive event and now we have to prepare for the final steps."
The bar raised more than $200,000 and convinced more than 200 people to volunteer at the event, May 8-10. Gage said organizers would nevertheless welcome more lawyer judges for the competition. The mock trials will take place at the Dane County Courthouse and at the Capitol. »Read Full Blog Post

FBI Milwaukee notes 80th anniversary of infamous John Dillinger flub
The new head of the FBI's Milwaukee office on Tuesday noted the 80-year anniversary of the bureau's botched attempt to arrest John Dillinger and his gang at Little Bohemia Lodge in northern Wisconsin.
"The FBI learned a lot from its early years and during the tragic incident of Little Bohemia in northern Wisconsin," said Special Agent in Charge Robert J. Shields Jr.
"The lessons we learned back then would shape how the bureau trained its agents, prepared tactically and even how we developed important partnerships with local law enforcement in the many years that followed." »Read Full Blog Post
Court: Judge can't block 7-time drunken driver from driving for 9 years
A judge can't order a seven-time drunken driver not to drive during nine years of supervised release, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
Jack Hoppe, 55, was sentenced in November 2012 to 4 1/2 years in prison, plus an equal time on extended supervision -- all consecutive to other sentences Hoppe was serving. That meant no driving for up to 9 years after Hoppe gets out of prison.
Outagamie County Circuit Judge Mark McGinns said it was a reasonable condition to protect the public, and said it didn't clash with a state law that limits license revocations to three years; Hoppe could still get a license, he just couldn't drive. »Read Full Blog Post
Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses $1 million punitive damage award
Wisconsin's Supreme Court on Tuesday slashed a $1 million punitive damage award against a title insurance company to $210,000, finding that the original award was unconstitutionally excessive.

She was joined by Justice Ann Walsh Bradley. Justice Annette Ziegler wrote the majority opinion, and Justice David Prosser did not participate. »Read Full Blog Post(32)

Less than three weeks after he left the scene of a single-car drunken driving crash near his home, Racine County District Attorney Rich Chiapete seems to have put the embarrassing affair behind him, at least for now.
Chiapete issued a statement to Racine news media the day after the April 4 crash. He apologized and didn't make excuses for his conduct, and didn't contest several municipal penalties - citations for first offense drunken driving, obstructing an officer and an automatic year's suspension of his driver's license for refusing chemical tests. By Tuesday, a judge had signed off.

Does Wisconsin have an 'upskirt' problem?
Whether or not you can go to prison for taking photos up a woman's skirt in Wisconsin depends on whether she's wearing underwear, a quirk of the law pointedly illustrated in a recent Ozaukee County case.
A Grafton man was caught taking cellphone pictures under the skirt of a woman ahead of him in the checkout line at a grocery store. He was charged with attempting to capture an image of nudity and disorderly conduct. His defense at trial last month? He was really trying to get a photo of the woman's underwear, not nudity.
And she was wearing underwear, which would have made it impossible to capture a nude image, but a jury found Jesse Schmucker guilty of both misdemeanor charges anyway. He was sentenced to nine months in jail. He plans to appeal. »Read Full Blog Post(13)

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Audi TT
By Keith Buglewicz
KBB Expert Rating: 7.5
With an all-new version coming next year, the
2015 Audi TT
Coupe and Roadster is the last chance to buy this generation of this sharp-looking 2-seater.
With impeccable build quality and excellent driving dynamics, and the TT offers year-round driving excitement in an aggressive and luxurious package that's reasonably priced considering the luxury brand. Two 2.0-liter turbocharged engines are available: the TT with 211 horsepower, or the TTS and its 265 horsepower version. Either way, the TT is no slouch, and its quattro all-wheel-drive system helps grip the road in a way competitors like the BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SLK and Porsche Cayman can't match. The Roadster's soft top isn't as convenient as a retractable hardtop, but it weighs less, and takes up less space.
If your driving enthusiasm can't be contained to the summer months, then the 2015 Audi TT and its quattro all-wheel drive opens up your options to year-round fun. Throw in dynamic styling, and Audi's magical touch with interior design, and the TT's hard to beat.
The Audi TT doesn't have the sharp driving feel of the Porsche Boxster/Cayman twins, and the BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK offer a more refined experience thanks to the added quiet of their hard-top convertible designs.
With an all-new Audi TT waiting in the wings, there are no major changes to the 2015 TT. Already well equipped, with standard all-wheel drive, this is no bad thing.
The 2015 Audi TT is an ideal driving companion when it's just you and a winding strip of coastal highway.
While the TT may lack the precise steering response...
... of the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4, we think that all but the most hard-core of drivers will happy to trade a bit of steering precision for the way the TT holds in corners and its stable, smooth ride. No traditional manual transmission is available, but Audi's S tronic dual-clutch automatic left little to complain about. The TT Roadster is quiet with its top up, considering it's not a hardtop like its competitors, but there's no getting around the fact that it'd feel more secure and polished with a retractable hardtop. Regardless, the TT offers a great ride, great power and great fuel economy. It's a shame you can't comfortably fit two more people in it. Then again, maybe not.
Who says you can't have the best of both worlds? This transmission acts just like any smooth-shifting automatic in congested city traffic. But on the track, it's a swift-shifting, pedal-free manual gearbox.
We get that retractable hardtop systems for convertibles are quieter and more secure. But they're also complicated and heavy, and the Audi TT Roadster's triple-layer soft top does a good job suppressing outside wind and road noise.
Whether you choose the 4-passenger Coupe or 2-seat Roadster, the 2015 Audi TT offers a beautifully built and elegantly designed cabin. The flat-bottomed steering wheel and driver-friendly dashboard project a sporty feel. The TT Coupe's rear seat is best suited for very small children or professional contortionists – better to leave it folded flat for extra luggage room, adding an extra layer of practicality. Most of the TT's controls are straightforward and intuitive, though the optional navigation system's dash-mounted control dial is ergonomically off target.
All through its history, the Audi TT's innovative design has been the car's signature feature. Though some might compare its shape to an overturned bathtub, there's no denying it makes a striking visual statement. To help maintain the Roadster's sleek appearance, the multi-layer soft top folds flat into the rear shelf. Generous use of aluminum helps reduce overall weight and increase structural rigidity. The automatically retracting rear spoiler is designed to help with stability at high speeds, but without spoiling the car's lines when it's sitting still.
Setting it apart from most of its competition is the 2015 Audi TT's standard quattro all-wheel-drive system. Last year, Premium Plus and Prestige trims were dropped in favor of a single, well appointed TT. Standard equipment includes a sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel with integrated paddle shifters, 10-way power front seats with pseudo-suede inserts and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. A USB port with iPod connectivity requires the optional MMI Navigation system, a sign of this car's overall age in the marketplace. Passenger protection includes six airbags and Audi's backguard seats, which are designed to reduce the severity of whiplash-related injuries.
Options include Audi's navigation system plus, which comes with rear backup sensors and Audi Music Interface (AMI). If you dread the characteristically harsh ride of traditional sport-tuned suspension setups, we suggest you opt for the TT's available magnetic ride system, which automatically adjusts suspension damping based on road conditions and driving style. A Black Optic package is available on the TTS and includes gloss black grille surround, carbon fiber exterior mirror housings and 15-spoke, 19-inch wheels in Titanium finish.
2015 Audi TT models offer a choice of two turbocharged engines, both powerful, responsive and efficient.
The TT uses a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder making 211 horsepower and the TTS has the same basic engine tuned for 265 horsepower. The only transmission is a 6-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic. All TT's have Audi's quattro all-wheel drive as standard equipment.
2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4
211 horsepower @ 4,300-6,000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,600-4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/31 mpg

"Audi, long known for its design and quality has continued that reputation with the TTS Coupe. I have owned several sport coupes from quite a few different manufacturers, but I have never owned an automobile that comes close to the quality of the Audi TTS. My 2010 TTS has a "Launch Control" feature (rarely found on cars back in 2010) that allows you to keep your foot on the brake and also on the gas pedal and the car revs up to exactly 3600 RPMs until you release the brake pedal- then hold on because all four wheels are going to propel you to 60 miles an hour in 4.8 seconds; while most other are trying to get traction to get their cars moving, you're halfway there! That's just some of the fun part about the car. The more serious side of the car is that it's very stable, due to its ability to brake and power each of the four wheels independently. It design remains constant. It takes a keen eye to tell the difference between a 2010 and a 2015 TTS, which is one of the reasons why they hold their value so well."

"This is a car that begs to be driven hard. The sound as the engine spools and the incredible acceleration from any starting speed are amazing. I've driven S4's and Mustangs for decades, but they simply don't compare. Be prepared to twist a bit getting in and out of the car in SoCal parking lots though."

Pros: "Hard to find a neater car for the money."
Cons: "Those annoying glitches."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8
"I bought this car used to serve as a second car, something to drive mainly for the fun factor. It delivers that in abundance, even for a 75+ geezer. My only hesitation was the car's reputation for electronic "gremlins," and unfortunately have experienced a couple in my first five months of ownership. So far, the emissions light has come on unexplainedly and the top refused to close. In both cases, a simple computer reboot solved the problems, but the cost and inconvenience make such things troubling."

Hi All
As you can see, I haven't dropped this story, it has just been kicking my ass. The huge note book I have filled with nothing but back stories and time lines are testament to that.
Well this is a repost of That Which We Call a Rose. While writing the original chapters more and more ideas were coming to me. Ideas to thicken out the plot and make it a more interesting read. I made a few changes to the original and updated the chapters but it still wasn't enough and in the end the whole plot line changed so I had to start again.
The first few chapters with time jump but not by too much.
Please let me know what you think, I love to hear it.
This is an Edward and Bella HEA and it won't take too long for them to get together - they will meet around chapter 5 or 6.
Chapter 1 - Edward
June 2009
She was glowing, there was no other word for it. Her short, wavy, strawberry blonde hair that framed her beautiful face, shimmered in the last rays of the evening sun as she shook with laughter.
I was the luckiest bastard on the planet!
She was nervous about tonight, not only was she meeting my family for the first time, but we had news to share, and I had been trying to distract her with stories of my childhood antics as we travelled along the I-495, down Sunrise Highway and across to my parents estate in Southampton.
The traffic lights ahead of us changed to red, and I took the opportunity to bury my fingers in her hair and pull her lips to mine. Her laughter stopped short and a small sigh sounded from the back of her throat.
"I love you," I whispered against her soft pink lips.
"I love you, too," she breathed, her sweet breath fanning across my face. I smiled, kissed the tip of her nose, and shifted the car back into first as the lights changed back to green.
"They'll love you too, you know," I reassured her. My parents had been in England for the last twelve months and as we had only been together for ten, this was the first chance for us all to get together.
"I hope. . .EDWARD!" Her piercing scream echoed through the confined space of the car, mere seconds before the sickening crunch of metal crushing against metal.
I shot up in bed, a sheen of cold sweat covering my body, my limbs tangled up in damp sheets and her name dying on my lips.
On instinct I glanced over at her side of the bed, hoping beyond all hope, that it was just a dream. That she would be there, the soft moonlight edging her perfect form.
Breathing out a painful sigh, I swallowed down the lump in my throat and buried my face in my hands. Of course she wasn't there, she hadn't been for over two and a half years. Scrubbing at my tear-streaked face, fighting to get control of my erratic breathing and attempting to stay above the tidal-wave of emotion that was trying to pull me under, I climbed out of bed. There was no point in attempting to get more sleep, despite the fact that it was only three thirty in the morning. An hour or two was all I seemed to be able to manage these days.
Padding into the bathroom, I flicked on the shower but left the lights off. I had no desire to see the scars that marked my face arms and torso. They weren't really visible to the naked eye any more, but I knew they were there. The sounds of her cries, the crushing of metal, the sirens, the horns, the voices. I had enough auditory reminders haunting my every living moment, I didn't need the visual ones too.
Stepping into the steaming water I braced my hands against the wall, hung my head and let the tears out. God I fucking missed her.
From the first moment that I laid eyes on her, she consumed almost every one of my waking thoughts. She was just so young, so carefree. Running through Central Park in her cut off jeans and football jersey, chasing after her wayward puppy. She was so tiny, yet her sun-kissed legs seemed to go on for miles.
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, chin length strawberry blonde hair, big brown eyes and a smile that lit up her whole face.
It was a Sunday morning in March 2006. I was just two miles into my morning run, when the small bundle of yellow fur she called Heath, came bounding my way. She followed not too far behind him, panting and clutching at her chest as she scolded the Labrador puppy that was now in my arms.
"I'm so sorry," she told me when she had breath enough to speak, "He went running after a cat."
I told her it was no problem, gave her my name, got hers in return and asked for a date as payment for my heroic rescue.
Heath was all I had left of her now. Unless you count the platinum and diamond engagement ring that's behind the locked door of my safe, or the hundreds of photographs that were stored on my computer and in frames around my home and in my office, or the beautiful black and white grainy image of our twelve week old child, that was still tucked safely away in it's mothers womb when she was taken from me. When they were taken from me.
I wasn't coping well with the grief, but who fucking does? Two and a half years and I was still stuck somewhere between guilt and anger. Both were eating away at me, slowly taking over, like an incurable cancer that was devouring the man I once was, the man that she had helped me become.
I had no fucking closure, none what-so-ever. Her parents had come and taken her body, they'd had her cremated, her ashes scattered to the wind, along her favourite beach, a week before I had woken from a drug induced coma.
The fucker who was driving the car that hit us, had fled from the scene. His car still embedded in ours, his engine still ticking over. This is were my anger was centred, where the fury and the hatred and the need for revenge burned like acid.
I'd come too fifteen days after the accident, the physical and emotional pain crippling me. I knew she was dead, I just knew. I didn't have to ask, didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to see or hear the tears and the sympathies that were pouring from my parents and my sister, Alice, and I will be forever indebted to Emmett, my head of security, for politely throwing them all out of my room and getting down to business.
"Tell me," I told him quietly, knowing that Emmett McCarty, ex marine, ex secret service, and my best fucking friend, would not have just let this go. He loved her almost as much as I did.
"The car came back unregistered, but blood and hair samples were found on the airbag. Best I can guess is that the fucker broke his nose when it deployed," he gritted out, his barely concealed anger just bubbling below the surface, "Garrett hacked the systems for all surrounding hospitals, and fifteen people were admitted for the same on the night of the accident. Eleven of those were male."
"It was definitely a man," I spat, my own anger taking over.
"We thought as much by the short coarse hair that was found at the scene," he nodded, "We've questioned all but two of the eleven. One is seventeen year old, Tyler Crowley and the other is twenty five year old Alec Santiago. All of the other have a valid alibi. Looking deeper, Crowley is African American, the hair samples aren't, so for now and until we can track him, my money is on Santiago."
"What do we know about him?" I asked, the image of the olive skinned fucker that hit us, that killed them, flashing through my mind.
"Alec Santiago, twenty five year old Italian immigrant. Worked as a security guard at Volturi inc up until three weeks ago," he told me carefully. My teeth snapped together audibly as I fought the wave of nausea that rolled in my stomach.
Volturi Inc had been at war with Cullen Corp for decades. Both held contacts with the government for the production of weaponry but up until six years ago the percentage split was negligible.
After graduating MIT at the age of nineteen with Ph.D's in Physics, Biological Engineering, Aero and Astronautics and Business, I'd joined my Grandfather, Ed Senior, at Cullen Corp. Working with the design and production teams it wasn't long before our products blew Volturi's out of the fucking water.
I was Cullen Copr's secret weapon. With an IQ of 235 I was classed as the most intelligent person in the world. What the world wasn't aware of was my photographic memory, my 20/10 vision or my lightening reflexes. I was a phenomenon.
Within two years of me working there, Cullen Corp held the contract for new fighter jets. Two years later it was bio-weponary and WMD's . Eight months ago we started talks on their surveillance systems and smart robots.
"It was a hit?" I choked out, my whole world turning on it axes.
"It's looks that way to me, that or a warning."
I couldn't hold it in any more. Emmett just had time to push the bin under my nose before I was throwing up what ever crap they had been pumping into my stomach for the last two weeks.
Knowing that she was killed because of me, knowing that our child never had a chance to live because of what I do, tore my fucking heart out. That's where the guilt came in.
Taking a deep ragged breath, I tipped my face up to the water, letting it wash away the tears. I kept my eye's closed as I reached for my body wash, I didn't want to see hers this morning. The one she always used, that still sat on the shelf next to mine. It was there for the mornings when her scent alluded me. I didn't need it this morning, all I could see, hear and smell was her
After being home from the hospital for three weeks, I finally went back into the office. I had taken over as CEO from my Grandfather just over two years ago, but he had been in covering for me while I was in the hospital. I'd tried to come in the day I was discharged but he had my security detail, Emmett, Garrett and Alistair escort me home.
The fucking traitors worked for me!
There I threw myself back into work, letting that, and the need for revenge, take over my every thought, my every action. I was more determined than ever to see the Volturi go under. I was going to take them, and every other motherfucker associated with them, and rip them apart piece by piece. And when I found out who the fucker was that called the hit, I was going to have him screaming for mercy hours before I put a bullet between his fucking eyes.
Trying to shake off the anger that was, once again, taking over, I finished up my shower and after throwing on my shorts and t-shirt I made my way into the kitchen.
"Morning, baby," I whispered, running my finger over the picture of her that still hung on the fridge, right next to the scan picture she'd placed there, just like I had done every morning since she died.
"Heath!" I yelled, he'd not shown his face yet, he was more than likely still asleep in the corner of her empty closet. A place he had taken to sleeping since I got home from the hospital without her. Four fifteen was obviously too early for him. He didn't look too happy with me when he rounded the corner into the kitchen. "Don't look at me like that," I scolded as I poured his biscuits into his bowl. I was almost positive that if he could talk, he'd be asking me every ten minutes when his Mommy was coming home.
I wasn't hungry this morning, I very rarely was any more. But while Heath had his breakfast, I threw down a cup of coffee and grabbed his leash.
"Come on, boy," I whistled from in front of the private elevator. Knowing he was going for his morning run, Heath bounded around the corner just as the doors opened, and I clipped his leash on as we stepped in.
The ground was still covered in dew as we ran to the park. I was trying to keep my head clear. Trying not to remember the day that we met for the first time. My legs still took me down the path though. Just like every morning. Down by the field that she had been running through. I felt my throat closing in on me again and I swallowed repeatedly trying to push the emotion away.
I was also attempting to ignore Garrett as he ran a few pace's behind me. I had no fucking clue how he knew when I was up and about. But without fail he was here every morning, no matter what time I was out. We were just rounding the last bend when my phone vibrated. Without stopping, I pulled it out of my pocket. It was a text from Emmett, a blank text from Emmett. I knew what that meant.
I stopped, pulling back on Heath's leash, and turned to see Garrett putting his own phone away.
"He's got the fucker," I announced quietly, Garrett nodded.
"I'll get the car," he replied as we turned and ran back to the apartment building.
Alec Santiago had signed his own death warrant the day he agreed to get behind the wheel of that car. A blank text was enough to tell us that after all this time, this was his day of reckoning, no trace, no evidence to tie any of us to his disappearance – or murder if his body ever turned up.
I raced back up to my apartment, Heath in tow, and after topping up his water bowl, taking another quick shower and throwing on a black suit, I grabbed my nine millimetre out of the safe and stowed it at the small of my back.
I was going to finish him. Not Emmett, not Garrett, me! Alec Santiago and any other fucker that was responsible for her death was going to meet the fucking devil at my hands.
Garrett was waiting besides the car when I arrived in the garage. Emmett wasn't taking any more chances with my life so this car, unlike the last, was damn near tank proof. The engine was chipped, security cameras were linked and the GPS was trapped within the car's own little black box.
"Ready boss?" Garrett asked as he opened the door for me.
"I'm more than fucking ready," I promised as I slid into the leather seats.
We were both quiet on the fifty minute drive from my Manhattan penthouse to the abandoned warehouse in Port Morris. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins, but my nerves were rock steady. I was ready for this, I had been ready for this for the last six months. And what better day to get rid of the fuckers that killed our baby, than two years to the day it was due to be born.
That date, June 7th 2007, has been stuck in my head from the moment she whispered it to me.
"June 7th 2007, remember that date, it's gonna be the best day ever," she whispered as she climbed into my lap. I was sprawled on the couch watching the Yankees game, the Yankees were up, 3 for 2 in the ninth, Ming Wang was up to pitch.
"Why's that, baby?" I questioned pulling her against me and giving her my undivided attention.
"Because that's the day this little one will make his appearance, Daddy," she whispered again, placing our joint hands on her flat stomach.
"Really?" I asked, pulling my head back to look into her sparkling eyes. We'd only been together six months, we didn't even live together at that point, and in no way were we trying for a baby. She had told me earlier that week that she was worried, her period was late, and that wasn't normal for her. While I was shocked and somewhat apprehensive about becoming a father, I knew she was it for me. So if she was in fact pregnant, then it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Now though, as she sat there in my lap, her eyes shinning and her smile wide, telling me that I was going to be a Daddy. . .well, there were no words.
"God, I love you so much, baby," I told her quietly as I crushed her to me and pressed my lips into her silky hair.
"We're here, boss," Garrett called, pulling me out of the memory. I was too choked up again to speak, so I nodded to him and climbed out of the car. It was still early, only just gone six in the morning, but the sun was already just above the horizon, so it was fortunate for me that stepping out of the sun, and into the dimly lit warehouse, had no impact on my vision.
Emmett and Alistair were stood in the centre of the room, but I ignored them. My eyes were fixed on the fucker that was tied up on the floor, three feet away from them. It was him, despite his swollen right eye and busted nose, I could still recognise the fucker that had ripped my God-damn heart out. It took everything I had in me to stop myself from just pulling out my gun and shooting his fucking brains out.
I didn't even think about stopping though, as I crossed the distance between us and blackening his other fucking eye. He rocked backwards and Emmett stepped forward to stop him from hitting the floor. The last thing we needed was for him to crack his skull before we had any answers. But my fury was uncontrollable as I landed punch after punch and kick after kick.
"You fucking son-of-a-bitch," I yelled, my foot connecting with his ribs, time and again. All the pain, all the hatred and anger and heartbreak, of the last two and a half years came pouring out of me.
"Ed, man, calm down. You can kill the bastard when we've got answers," Emmett told me quietly as he grabbed me at the elbows and pulled me back away from him, "Think about Tiny T," I recoiled at the use of her nickname, but shrugged Emmett off and bent at the waist, my hands resting on my knees and my head hanging low. I needed to regain control, I needed to see this through, get the answers I needed, for her, for them, for me.
Taking a final deep breath, I righted myself and slowly walked back over to him.
"Start talking you fucking piece of shit," I spat, ripping the duct tape from his mouth. He didn't make a sound at first, he just glared at me, and I had to remind myself, once again, that I couldn't just kill the fucker.
"I don't got nothing to say," he choked, spitting blood out onto the floor.
"I'm not gonna ask you nicely again," I told him, my voice now calm, quiet, deadly, as I pulled the nine millimetre out from behind my back and aimed it at his right knee, "Now start fucking talking."
"It was meant to be you, you know. Not that fine piece of ass you were. . ." his words stopped short and an agonising scream left his lips as my gun went of, the bullet going straight through his knee cap. He was screaming and shouting and jerking as he tried to free his hands. Not so cocky now are you shit-face?
"Who called the hit?" I asked just ask calmly. He didn't answer, he was to consumed with pain. I took a sick sense of satisfaction in that, "I'll give you five fucking second to answer me before I take out your other knee cap. After that I'll introduce my box cutters to your fucking fingers, one by motherfucking one."
"I-I don't. . ."
"One. . .two. . .three," I began, aiming the gun at his other knee, "Four. . ."
"DeMarco," he yelled, Felix DeMarco."
"And where will I find Mr DeMarco?"
"He w-works at Voltui," They were his last words. I didn't need anything else. Before he could even draw another breath, I re-aimed and pulled the trigger, hitting him between the eyes.
"Clean that up," I ordered, walking back out of the warehouse and climbing into the back of the car.
I felt no remorse, not additional guilt, no shame in taking his life.
I didn't feel any better either!
I didn't bother going into the office. Instead I spent the day locked away in my apartment, attempting to drown myself in drink. I sank into the chair behind my desk and looked at her smiling face, her innocent face, the guilt washed over me and I found my face once again buried in my hands.
The guilt wasn't for talking his life. No, it was for what she would think of me now. She wouldn't recognise the man I had become. She would hate this person. This cold, heartless monster, consumed with hatred and anger.
"I'm sorry, baby. God, I'm so fucking sorry," I cried, hoping to God that she could hear me from all the way up there. Heaven, a place I would never be welcomed into.
Rosalie, was already at her desk when I entered the office three days later. She had been my assistant since I had taken over Cullen Corp. two years ago. We worked well together – when we weren't trying to kill each other – both of us adopting a no bull-shit attitude, she told me what was what without the usual pointless non-information, provided results and worked her fucking ass off. Most importantly, she was trustworthy.
"Morning, boss," she smiled slightly as she glanced up from her computer screen.
"Morning," I nodded, "When you're ready we can go over today schedule."
"I'll be though in five," she told me, looking at her watch. I'd have asked her to bring coffee in with her, but I knew that I didn't have to. Rosalie was nothing if not efficient.
Nodding again, I walked into my office and closed the door. The five minute time frame that Rosalie had given me, allowed enough time for me to quickly go over a few emails and pull up a copy of todays schedule. I had a meeting with my Grandfather at three but other than that my day looked pretty clear.
Without my permission, my eyes landed on her image, a picture of the two of us that had been taken in Mexico. I had surprised her with a trip for her birthday, right before we found out she was expecting. He was more than likely created while we were there.
Fighting against the threatening tears, I closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. Would this ever get any fucking easier?
Before I could sort myself out, and being the disrespectful bitch she is ninety percent of the time, Rosalie pushed the door to my office door open without knocking. I didn't look up, I knew it was her. Nobody else would have the guts to walk in unannounced.
"Oh, shit, sorry, I'll come back," she gasped, but I shook my head and looked up. I'm sure I looked like shit, but I really didn't care.
"Your here now, so lets just get this over with," I sighed, wiping at my eyes and turning to my computer.
We spent the next thirty minutes going over my day's meetings, messages that had been left over night, and adding new appointments to my diary. There were a couple of reports that I needed completing and contract changes that I needed to have sent over to my lawyer, Jason Jenks, so between taking meeting minutes, it would be enough to keep Rosalie busy for the day.
I was surprised when Emmett turned up at two o'clock. He'd spent the last few days in his home office with Garrett, trying to dig up as much information on Felix DeMarco as he could.
"How you feeling?" He asked as he wondered into my office. I looked away from the Apple contract that I was going over – weapons were not my only line of business – and glanced at him. Emmett was fucking huge. He was a six foot five, 240lb wall of solid muscle. At thirty-eight he still had the face, body and mentality of a twenty five year old.
"Just fucking peachy," I muttered. I wasn't in the mood for small talk, "What did you find?" I asked impatiently, he wouldn't just turn up here for no reason.
Emmett sat down heavily in the seat opposite me, his eyes hardened and his jaw clenched, it wasn't very often that Emmett let his emotions get the better of him, but I could see that what he had to impart was getting the better of him.
"Felix DeMarco," he spat, "Has worked for Volturi since he graduated MIT in 1996. Aside from his employee record and a company credit card, on paper, Felix DeMarco doesn't exist."
"What the fuck does that mean?" I demanded. Emmett didn't even flinch.
"You would know him better as James Hunter."
"What the fuck?" I yelled jumping up from my seat. James Hunter had been two years above me at MIT. I'd dated his sister Kate for most of my Junior year. Kate was beautiful. Long brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin. She had been a few years older than me, but so were all of the other collage girls.
"Felix DeMarco, AKA James Hunter. Born February 2nd 1973, to Laurent Hunter and Jane Hunter," Emmett began, watching me as I paced the room. "Jane Hunter was the daughter of Aro Volturi and Sulpicia Volturi, nee DeMarco,"
"Fucking son-of-a-bitch," I yelled. I grabbed the first thing that my hand could touch, and launched it across the room. Glass shattered against the wall, and the smell of brandy saturated the air as the decanter exploded.
"Jesus, Ed," Emmett jumped up, dusting glass shared from his hair and off his clothing. Ignoring him I resumed my pacing.
"Where is he?" I spat.
"Living in Brooklyn with his wife, Kate Hunter, and his daughter Charlotte. Alistair sent a man in to confirm it's him."
"Kate Hunter?" I asked in disbelief, "His wife?"
"Yeah," he nodded, "Ed?"
"You've had visual on the wife?" I asked, my mind spinning with the possibilities.
"Yeah, Jake's seen her. Petit girl around five two, five three. 110 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes. Why what's going on?"
"Kate Hunter was James' sister. I dated her for a few months back in 97. She was found raped and murdered six months after we separated,"
"I want them watched. I want to know where they go, what they do, who they see," I informed him, "You said they have a daughter?"
"Yeah, Charlotte Hunter, two years old."
"What ever happened, the kid stays out of it!" A kid complicated things. I needed time to work out what the fuck was going on, how it was all connected and how to make James Hunters death look like a fucking accident.
Love it? Hate it? Please let me know. I think I have put more work into this then anything I have ever written. It is mashing my head completely and I'd love to know if it is worth all of the headaches I've been getting.
