what's new
For 2018, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review gets just minor changes to gear availability. Two USB slots and hot top chairs are now normal on all 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review, and blind-spot tracking is standard on the Premium Plus cut levels.
cut levels & features
The 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review emerges in four-door sedan and two-door convertible (Cabriolet) body styles. Both are available with front-wheel get or all-wheel drive. The cut degrees are named Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige in audi talk, which are outlined in order of increasing content.
Front-wheel-drive 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review versions have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (186 horsepower, 221 lb-ft) and a seven-speed, dual-clutch intelligent transmission. These versions have a gas economy side over their all-wheel-drive friends to the melody of 2 mpg (EPA combined). All-wheel-drive variants (Quattro) have an identical engine, but several improvements raise its gumption to a better quality 220 hp and 258 lb-ft. Probably paradoxically, Quattro options have one fewer equipment in their dual-clutch automated transmissions than do front-wheel-drive models. Not surprisingly and their inevitably heavier weights (160 pounds for sedans; 200 pounds for convertibles), Quattro types handily out-accelerate their front-wheel-drive counterparts. No guide gearbox can be obtained on any flavor of 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review.
The base Premium is well-equipped, sporting characteristics such as for instance leather upholstery, a copy camera, dual-zone climate control, a breathtaking sunroof, forward collision caution and automatic emergency braking, a 10-speaker audio system, heated top chairs and an eight-way power driver chair with power lumbar adjustment. Cabriolet designs are related but have a power-folding delicate prime, a nine-speaker audio system and six-way energy top chairs with lumbar.
For an acceptable sum, Premium Plus adds a mix of cosmetics and useful ease characteristics such as 18-inch wheels, an eight-way energy passenger chair with back, blind-spot tracking with back cross-traffic attentive, keyless ignition and entry, parking sensors, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. These models also obtain a dose of outer look items such as for instance revised bumpers, side sill extensions and illuminated aluminum entry way sills.
The Prestige goes all out with power-folding mirrors, LED headlights, an extended Virtual Cockpit instrument chaos, navigation, a Beat & Olufsen advanced audio system and a host of driver guidance characteristics (including lane departure caution, versatile cruise, automatic high beams).
A few of the functions found on the Advanced Plus and Prestige can be put into the low trims as options.
With 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review offers a lot of capacity to accelerate with purpose though earnings great fuel economy figures. Handling is significant, with a primary feel and cornering that's equally amusing and reassuring.
There is some doubt from the standstill, but once under way drive from the turbocharged four-cylinder is remarkable, achieving 60 mph in an remarkably rapid 5.8 seconds. The all-wheel-drive system allows lots of grip.
About area the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review has natural-feeling brake weighting and responses. An easy task to modulate. In panic braking, there is little nosedive and the vehicle songs straight. It required 118 feet to stop from 60 mph, which is better than average for the school and remained regular after several runs.
Steering effort is light, creating parking lot maneuvers easy, but nonetheless conveys direct feedback to the driver. On turning roads, it's incredibly specific and further instills confidence.
The 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review thinks mild and running in curves. The AWD process makes probably the most of accessible grip, and the well-tuned suspension allows it a healthy, encouraging feel.
The 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review is simple to maneuver in tight spots as a result of their gentle steering. It tackles the everyday drive with ease.
This really is the sort of front-seat ease we've come to expect from greater and higher priced sedans. More over, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review handles this without sacrificing performance. The trunk chairs are cramped, but a maximum of these of different vehicles in this class.
seat comfort
Leading seats are roomy and comfortable even after several hours of touring. They do lack some part bolstering, though. Rear-seat place is restrictive and suited to smaller individuals only.
experience comfort
The 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review features a agreeable ride that smooths around many path imperfections. Greater undulations may cause some jostling, though.
sound & shake
Path and breeze noise is detectable on the road, but it's never uncomfortable, even on hard pavement. There is some clattering engine sound at start-up, nevertheless the lazy quickly smooths out.
Like all audi, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review activities an austere interior design, and that is a great thing. Stylish metal accents, exceptional products quality and a large characteristics record get this car sense such a thing but entry-level.
ease of use
The controls are put wherever you'd assume them, specially the MMI controller with handwriting recognition. The key screen increases from the dash for easy seeing, with sharp artwork and user-friendly menus.
finding in/getting out
Front-seat access is easy even yet in tight areas because of a high starting and opportunities that aren't too long. Rear entry is distinctly less easy, requiring some turning and stooping to have in.
operating place
Leading chairs are large enough for older individuals, but the trunk chairs absence the head- and legroom necessary for the common adult. Just small persons will soon be comfortable straight back there.
Forward presence is great because of narrow top pillars — a scarcity in contemporary cars. Back awareness is sufficient that you could get by without the recommended copy camera.
All inside areas in the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro Review are properly distinctive for an upscale search and feel. Every knob and move has a definite heft and click, and the car only thinks sturdy.

CALAIS, France (Reuters) – In thick fog, Nasir helped load his young family's scant possessions into a van and turned his back on the beaten-up caravan that has been home for the past nine months in a migrant camp known as the "Jungle" in northern France.
In a few days, the French government will begin dismantling the filthy, ramshackle camp outside Calais that has become a searing symbol of Europe's struggle to respond to an influx of migrants fleeing war and poverty.
Nasir, a 23-year-old Afghan, doesn't want to wait for the bulldozers to move in and raze the camp as winter approaches. Instead, he, his wife Nabila and their 7-month old infant are joining one of the last voluntary resettlement convoys bound for reception centres across France.
"We just want a life, nothing more," Nasir told Reuters in broken English.
A Union Jack flag painted on his caravan is a poignant reminder of Nasir's now-dashed dreams of a better life in Britain, barely 21 miles (33 km) away across the English Channel and the preferred destination of almost all migrants in Calais.
No one knows for sure how many have made the perilous crossing from France to Britain, sometimes stowed away in the back of lorries or clinging to the undersides of trains.
Thousands have however failed, including Nasir, thwarted by barbed wire-topped fencing lining the highway between the camp and the Calais ferry port, by police patrols as well as a battery of security cameras. Now a wall is being built on the port's approach road to serve as a further deterrent.
President Francois Hollande said last month that France would completely shut down "the Jungle" by the end of the year. The plan is to relocate migrants in small groups around the country, largely removing the option of forging a new life in Britain. Nasir now hopes France will grant him asylum.
"On the one hand, closing the Jungle is good. There is nothing, no future here," Nasir said. "The Jungle is not fit for humans, it's for animals."
A new census on Tuesday showed there are about 6,500 migrants holed up in the camp, though aid workers say the number is closer to 10,000. Most are from countries like Afghanistan, Sudan and Eritrea, and increasingly Syria.
A small crowd encircled Nasir and exchanged farewells before a state worker drove the family to the bus waiting to transfer them to a reception centre in Merignac on the outskirts of Bordeaux in distant southwestern France.
The migrants cannot choose where they end up and even as France prepares to shut the "Jungle", many still target Britain.
"England, England!" shouted one Afghan teenager as Nasir bid his goodbyes.
Ahead of a presidential election next April, Hollande has faced mounting public pressure to dismantle the camp and relocate its inhabitants. Conservative opponents have raised the heat, accusing the Socialist president of mismanaging a problem they say is ultimately a British one.
Hollande reminded Britain two weeks ago that it had a role to play in managing the flow of migrants. He said that were France to stop preventing the migrants from leaving French soil, Britain would find itself obliged to deal with them when they landed on its shores.
Vincent Berton, a senior official in the Calais town hall, described the camp closure as a "humanitarian operation", and said that more than 6,000 Jungle migrants had been moved to reception centres in the past 12 months. An average of three bus-loads were leaving each week, he said.
Yet Hollande's plans are meeting stiff local resistance in some towns where the 160 reception centres have been set up.
Last week shots were fired at two planned migrant centres, one in the western seaside resort town of Saint Brevin and the other in Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier in southeastern France, a conservative stronghold.
In the southern village of Allex, the mayor sought to hold a local referendum on whether to accept its quota of 50 migrants before regional officials blocked the vote in court.
Such resistance highlights the balancing act the government faces upholding humanitarian obligations and pleasing voters as Europe searches for a coherent response to the migration crisis.
"I want to stay in France, if France wants me," said Rawaz Rawchy, 33, an Iraqi Kurd, as he boarded the bus. "We have to leave now. My children can no longer sleep because of the cold."

BERLIN (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has canceled a trip to Germany planned for Thursday, German government sources told Reuters, as tensions rise between Palestinians and Israelis after about 10 days of violence.
An Israeli official confirmed the cancellation, citing the security situation.
Four Israelis have been killed since Thursday in a stabbing and a drive-by shooting blamed on Palestinian militants. Police shot dead the Palestinian knife-wielder and the military arrested five members of the Islamist Hamas group for the shooting.
Two Palestinians, one of them a 13-year-old, have been killed and about 170 injured in clashes with Israeli soldiers in the West Bank since Sunday. Another Palestinian man, suspected of having stabbed and wounded an Israeli teen, was shot dead by police in Jerusalem.

Yeah, that's what you're getting from now on. At least for as long as I have to ride a recumbent.
Rode 20 miles today. Key learnings:
- Recumbents, even nice ones like mine, are jury-rigged POSes. One clear reason why they are not more popular is that they require a full-time mechanic to fix all the bits. Today on a single ride my shifting went to shit, an accessory mount almost ended up in my spokes, and my taillight rattled off its mount.
- Recumbents can climb hills pretty easily. I didn't end up climbing any slower except on the steepest of hills.
- Wow do cars ever avoid you! Any fears of being squashed as a result of being so low to the ground were alleviated. Oh, and nobody dares the "three-fold pass" — you know, when there's an oncoming car and the asshole behind you decides he doesn't want to wait 3 seconds to pass you, so you have three vehicles occupying two lanes. Or someone ends up in a ditch.
Definitely need to work on the recumbolegs.

It's that time of year again! Thanks to Rachel @ Fiktshun, Jaime @ Two Chicks on Books, Nancy @ Tales of a Ravenous Reader & Bridget @ Dark Faerie Tales for hosting the TOP TEN OF 2016!
So today's topic is Anticipated Books of 2016! A new year means a ton of new books! Definitely excited! So in no particular order, here's a bunch of books I can't wait for!
(01) Hunted by Megan Spooner
Beauty and the Beast retelling? Sign me up!
Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bones—and in her blood. Though she grew up with the city's highest aristocrats, far from her father's old lodge, she knows that the forest holds secrets and that her father is the only hunter who's ever come close to discovering them.
So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there's no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva's father's misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he'd been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance.
Deaf to her sisters' protests, Yeva hunts this strange Beast back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of creatures that Yeva's only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?
(02) Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popović
I would read this for the beautiful cover alone, but man, this fantasy read sounds amazing!
All the women in Iris and Malina's family are born with a gleam—a unique way of manipulating beauty through magic. Seventeen-year-old Iris sees flowers as fractals and turns her kaleidoscope visions into glasswork, her twin sister Malina interprets moods as music, and their cold, distant mother Jasmina bakes scenery into decadent treats at her confectionery in Old Town Cattaro, Montenegro.
Jasmina forbids Iris and Malina to share their gleams with anyone, and above all, she forbids them to fall in love—being discovered could shatter the quiet lives they've built in their tucked-away, seaside town. But Iris and Malina are tired of abiding by their mother's rules and rebel in secret whenever they can.
Yet when a mysterious, white-haired woman attacks their mother and leaves her hovering between life and death, the sisters unearth an ancient curse that haunts their line—a wicked bargain that masquerades as a blessing, and binds the twins' fates—and hearts—to a force larger than life. To save each other, they must untangle a thousand years of lies and reveal their own hurtful secrets. But even the deepest sacrifice might not be enough.
(03) Pitch Dark by Courtney Alameda
How badass and cool is this book looking and sounding? Bring me all the sci-fi, muahahaha!
Tuck Durante is a shipraider, combing space for Earth artifacts from a war that ended 500 years ago. When his parents' ship crashes in the dead zone and the crew goes missing, Tuck hires a ragtag rescue team.
Meanwhile, curator Lana Gray is fighting to keep the US PANAM John Muir—and the remnants of its crew—alive. Their space capsule housing Yosemite National Park was hijacked. The hijacking turned ninety-five percent of her crew into nightmarish creatures called mourners who flay, dismember, or decapitate with nothing more than sharp-pitched shrieks.
Now, despite their differences, Lana, Tuck, and their crews must work together to save the John Muir. In space, nobody can hear you scream…but on the John Muir, the screams are the last thing you'll hear.
(!04) Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza
Space! Vengeance! Diversity!
Rhee, also known as Crown Princess Rhiannon Ta'an, is the sole surviving heir to a powerful dynasty. She'll stop at nothing to avenge her family and claim her throne.
Aly has risen above his war refugee origins to find fame as the dashing star of a DroneVision show. But when he's falsely accused of killing Rhee, he's forced to prove his innocence to save his reputation – and his life.
With planets on the brink of war, Rhee and Aly are thrown together to confront a ruthless evil that threatens the fate of the entire galaxy.
A saga of vengeance, warfare, and the true meaning of legacy.
(05) A Conjuring of Light by V.E Schwab:
It's the finale!! I'm beyond excited. Everyone always need more Kell, Lila, Rhys.
The battle between four magical Londons comes to a head in this stunning finale to the New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic trilogy by rising star V. E. Schwab
London's fall and kingdoms rise while darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire—and the fraught balance of magic blossoms into dangerous territory while heroes and foes struggle alike.

(06) The Last Magician by Lisa Maxwell
Ergmahgawd, look how amazingly cool this cover is? Plus there's a magicians and a thief! You just know it's going to be awesome!
Stop the Magician.
Steal the book.
Save the future.
In modern day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives.
Esta is a talented thief, and she's been raised to steal magical artifacts from the sinister Order that created the Brink. With her innate ability to manipulate time, Esta can pilfer from the past, collecting these artifacts before the Order even realizes she's there. And all of Esta's training has been for one final job: traveling back to 1901 to steal an ancient book containing the secrets of the Order—and the Brink—before the Magician can destroy it and doom the Mageus to a hopeless future.
But Old New York is a dangerous world ruled by ruthless gangs and secret societies, a world where the very air crackles with magic. Nothing is as it seems, including the Magician himself. And for Esta to save her future, she may have to betray everyone in the past.
(07) Wires and Nerve by Marissa Meyer
I love that there's going to more Lunar Chronicles universe, and not only that, but in comic form with Iko as the lead!!
In her first graphic novel, #1 New York Times and USA Today bestseller Marissa Meyer follows Iko, the beloved android from the Lunar Chronicles, on a dangerous and romantic new adventure — with a little help from Cinder and the Lunar team.
In her first graphic novel, bestselling author Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with a brand-new, action-packed story about Iko, the android with a heart of (mechanized) gold. When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. She is soon working with a handsome royal guard who forces her to question everything she knows about love, loyalty, and her own humanity. With appearances by Cinder and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling series.
(08) The Dark Days Pact by Alison Goodman
A little disappointed with the cover change, but still super excited for more adventures with Helen!
June 1812. Just weeks after her catastrophic coming-out ball, Lady Helen Wrexhall—now disowned by her uncle—is a full member of the demon-hunting Dark Days Club. Her mentor, Lord Carlston, has arranged for Helen to spend the summer season in Brighton so that he can train her new Reclaimer powers. However, the long-term effects of Carlston's Reclaimer work have taken hold, and his sanity is beginning to slip. At the same time, Carlston's Dark Days Club colleague and nemesis will stop at nothing to bring Helen over to his side—and the Duke of Selburn is determined to marry her. The stakes are even higher for Helen as she struggles to become the warrior that everyone expects her to be.
(09) Devil in Spring by Lisa Kleypas:
My heart. I can't wait for Pandora's & Gabriel's story and also Evie and St. Vincent cameo! Plus how pretty is this cover!
An eccentric wallflower…
Most debutantes dream of finding a husband. Lady Pandora Ravenel has different plans. The ambitious young beauty would much rather stay at home and plot out her new board game business than take part in the London Season. But one night at a glittering society ball, she's ensnared in a scandal with a wickedly handsome stranger.
A cynical rake…
After years of evading marital traps with ease, Gabriel, Lord St. Vincent, has finally been caught-by a rebellious girl who couldn't be less suitable. In fact, she wants nothing to do with him. But Gabriel finds the high-spirited Pandora irresistible. He'll do whatever it takes to possess her, even if their marriage of convenience turns out to be the devil's own bargain.
A perilous plot…
After succumbing to Gabriel's skilled and sensuous persuasion, Pandora agrees to become his bride. But soon she discovers that her entrepreneurial endeavors have accidentally involved her in a dangerous conspiracy-and only her husband can keep her safe. As Gabriel protects her from their unknown adversaries, they realize their devil's bargain may just turn out to be a match made in heaven…
(10) Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton
Another one with a slightly disappointing change in the cover (though she does look badass on the cover), but so hella excited for more of this series!
The sizzling, un-put-downable sequel to the bestselling Rebel of the Sands!
Mere months ago, gunslinger Amani al'Hiza fled her dead-end hometown on the back of a mythical horse with the mysterious foreigner Jin, seeking only her own freedom. Now she's fighting to liberate the entire desert nation of Miraji from a bloodthirsty sultan who slew his own father to capture the throne.
When Amani finds herself thrust into the epicenter of the regime—the Sultan's palace—she's determined to bring the tyrant down. Desperate to uncover the Sultan's secrets by spying on his court, she tries to forget that Jin disappeared just as she was getting closest to him, and that she's a prisoner of the enemy. But the longer she remains, the more she questions whether the Sultan is really the villain she's been told he is, and who's the real traitor to her sun-bleached, magic-filled homeland.
Forget everything you thought you knew about Miraji, about the rebellion, about djinni and Jin and the Blue-Eyed Bandit. In Traitor to the Throne, the only certainty is that everything will change
Honourable Mentions;

One of the most common criticisms of digital content delivery systems like Steam or Xbox Live Arcade is that it effectively destroys the used video-game market. Sign in for digital delivery and you get convenience, but your games no longer have resale value. That's bad new for consumers, but great news for publishers, who can continue to sell older titles at full price without worrying that used game sales are undercutting them.
So it's interesting that a new digital distribution portal called Green Man Gaming is planning on monetizing the digital pre-owned market. The idea is that, through Green Man Gaming, gamers can trade-in their digitally purchased and downloaded games.
Gian Luzio, COO for Green Man Gaming said, "Previously the minute you had paid and downloaded your game it had no resale value. This is extremely expensive for the gamer and does not encourage the consumer to try new genres or franchises. Our leading edge technology gives downloaded games a value that gamers can trade-in at any time."
They apparently mean to put their money where their mouth is: "We will pay significant royalties to the publisher each time the game is traded in perpetuity." commented Luzio.
This is interesting, but still not very good for consumers. Basically, what's happening is you'll never be able to buy a pre-owned game through Green Man Gaming: you just tell them you never want to play a game again, they give you some credit you can use for other purchases, and then that credit is used to pay royalties to the developers of the next game you buy.
Still, it's at least something, and I imagine this is a model that will be adopted by the likes of Steam in very short order.
Green Man Gaming will launch with 400 titles at the end of March, with 2000 titles available by the end of the year.

Why Hummus is a Lunchtime Savior
As a defiant response to sad desk lunches, the Food52 team works to keep our midday meals both interesting and pretty.
Today: Kathryn Leahy of Remain Simple explains why you should stop buying lunch and start using hummus.
Pita chips are great with hummus, but that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to lunch.
As a frugal person who will go to great lengths to avoid spending money—particularly on store-bought lunches—I'm constantly searching for ways I can squeeze five midday meals out of my weekend groceries without sacrificing quality. One of my favorite ways to do this is with hummus. You may recognize hummus in its most ubiquitous form—as a dip—but I'm here to tell you that this delicious chickpea mash can be so much more than an accompaniment to vegetables and pita chips.
More: Skip the line—here's how to make smooth, addictive hummus at home.
I'd like to challenge the system and relieve hummus of its singular role. It's time to expand hummus' horizons! Hummus is inexpensive, easily transportable, and can be used in just about any savory meal. Just leave a container in your work fridge—with your name on it, of course. Here are a few of my favorite ways to use it:
- Use it on salads: Thin out your hummus with a little bit of olive oil, then dollop it into your greens. It's heartier than most dressings so it won't make your greens soggy like lighter, liquidy vinaigrettes can. But because it's heavier than most dressings, pair it with substantial greens like kale that can hold their structure under its weight. And while you're at it, swap out mayonnaise for hummus in your chicken or tuna salad. It's a one-to-one swap that's a quick way to give even more substance to your already protein-packed salad.
- Pair it with your summer barbecue leftovers: Hummus is really an any-condiment replacement when it comes to grilled meat. Swap out mustard and ketchup with hummus on a hot dog or hamburger to give a garlicky twist to the all-American classics.
- Pull together a deconstructed lunch: Bring tortillas, cheese, hummus, and other fillings of your choice (meat, tofu, and beans are all welcome!) in separate containers and do all the hands-on work in your office kitchen (or at your desk). Spread some hummus onto the tortillas, toss in the other fillings, stick it in the microwave for a couple minutes, and voilà: a warm, healthy, hummus-filled meal.
- Take a hint from the gyro: The traditional Mediterranean wrap is usually packed with shaved meats, vegetables, tzatziki, and hummus. While this is a fantastic combination, hummus can work on any sandwich—use it in place of mayonnaise in a Turkey and Cheese or use it as a vegan condiment to hold together your favorite vegetables, like in my Hummus and Sweet Potato Sandwich. To make it, simply pile roasted sweet potatoes, hummus, kale, and feta cheese onto whole-grain bread—or add your own toppings. When it comes to homemade lunches, there's no wrong answer.
Hummus and Sweet Potato Sandwich
Makes 1 sandwich
2/3 sweet potato
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 slices whole-grain bread
2 tablespoons hummus
1 handful kale
1 ounce feta cheese
View the whole recipe (and save and print it) here.
How do you use hummus for lunch? Tell us in the comments below!

[Reprint from April 2011… but still useful information during this windy season.].
Late Thursday evening a sound came blasting through dreams and memory to my sleeping brain. It's been years—decades even—since I lived in Tornado Alley, where March meant The Wizard of Oz on television and being hustled into the basement at all hours of the day and night while my dad watched the sky and listened to the radio until the National Weather Service ended the Warning or Watch period.
I still have a vivid memory of my first tornado warning after moving to West Texas as a young adult. I heard the siren blast and… froze. Standing in the middle of my kitchen, I had no idea where one is supposed to go when your house doesn't have a basement. Turning on the radio, a pre-recorded emergency announcement instructed listeners to head for the bathroom. This didn't make any sense to me at all but I scurried obediently down the hall, imagining myself flying through the air in a bathtub like Calvin and Hobbes hurdling through space in their wagon, or like Slim Pickens riding a nuclear bomb in Dr. Strangelove.
My parents and my personal history have taught me to take tornados seriously. And I do.
All these years later, when the wind started howling loud enough to make the vent over my stove wail, my eyes flew open. I leapt up, threw back the covers, hustled into the living room and out onto the patio. My turn to keep the night-watch vigil, looking for the bruised, greenish-gray, flat-light sky I still associate with twisters. All I saw were clouds high above, scuttling quickly past, and the flags on a nearby municipal building snapping out a furious beat. Damaging wind speeds, to be sure, but no tornado.
When I ran a wildlife rehabilitation center in Houston, Texas, springtime storms always brought a deluge of baby animals into our shelter. Nests cradling baby birds and squirrels were blown out of branches, and even cavity-nesters weren't safe when the storm was strong enough to uproot entire trees. Permitted wildlife rehabbers are trained to provide the care wildlings need to grow up healthy and return to the wild, but it's always best to reunite offspring with their parents… if possible. As a result, rehabilitators have come up with a variety of creative reunion methods and techniques. After a tornado or hurricane churns through a neighborhood, though, the wild adults, if they survived, may be too disoriented to find their babies.
If you come across a wild baby on the ground, for whatever reason, and you're not sure if it needs help or what to do, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator for advice. State and provincial wildlife agencies that require a permit to rehabilitate wildlife legally will usually post a list of individuals on their website. Additionally, readers in North America may find the following links helpful:
Wildlife Rehabilitation Information Directory
International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC)
National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (NWRA)
You may be offered instructions for how to help bring mother and child back together, or be asked to transport the animal to an individual or a center for care. Just as important, you'll be told how to protect your own health and safety while being a good Samaritan.

What's the difference between the Only Hearts and the Listen to Your Heart?
They are very similar necklaces. But the techniques and settings are different.
The Only Hearts are soldered to the chain. They require a little more workmanship, are more sturdy in a sense, although still very delicate. They are also all one color metal.
The Listen to Your Heart can be two-toned! The Silver Heart is lashed by a Rose Gold Vermeil or Yellow Gold Vermeil chain. Due to this feature, we do not solder the chains, because the soldering would burn the finish on the chain!

This is probably a question more for people who developed asthma as adults. Although I could be wrong, I'd imagine people who have had asthma all their lives have learned to cope with it better than those who develop it later.
I developed EIA (Exercised-Induced Asthma) after a bad chest cold and bronchitis several years ago. Before that I'd never had asthma in my life. I used to be very active and adventurous. I used to go camping, hiking, horse-back riding, biking, and play racquetball. I used to like to push myself to the limits. I'd hike 10 miles at 10,000 feet even though I wasn't in shape for that just because I knew I could push myself and survive. I even once took a wilderness survival course where I slept under a rock without a sleep bag and lived on 500 calories a day. Now, since I developed EIA, I hesitate to even take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood.
I think my fear is more debilitating than the disease itself. I'm told EIA is not a dangerous form of asthma. It can be miserable, but it's not life-threatening. But it still prevents me from living my life. I still want to hike, play racquetball, etc. I want to travel too. I see a show on Machu Picchu and think, I've always wanted to go there! I need to go! But then they say it's a tough hike to the top and I immediately think, oh, I couldn't make it!
Before I just did things. If I wanted to hike the waterfalls in Jamaica I just did it. If I wanted to go photograph wildlife in Yellowstone I just did it. Now I'm too scared to do anything and it's kind of depressing. I know in my head that all I have to do is take a couple puffs of albuterol before I go and I'll be fine. But it's that dependency that causes the fear. What if I forget my inhaler? What if I get a mile up the trail and realize I forgot to use it and it's in my coat pocket in the car? What if I travel to Peru and lose my luggage with my inhaler it?!
So my question is, do you still do the things you used to and want to? How do you deal with the fear, and this feeling of being handicapped and fragile when you were once rugged and fearless?

I'm a respiratory therapist & asthma educator. So many people are surprised to learn about
adult onset asthma. A person can develop AOA by having polyps, sinus problems, GERD, etc. The first step is for you to begin asthma education. The more you know, the more control you have over this disease. My son (now 19) is an asthmatic and was considered severe when he was younger. He was hospitalized numerous time, but this did not stop him from being the normal little boy. He played on a baseball team, rode bikes, speed skated (I was more nervous when he did the jumps than an asthma attack occuring). He ALWAYS carried a rescue inhaler w/him (in his pocket). You didn't state if you were female/male. If female, always carry one in your purse. Also note that each MDI holds 200 sprays (most MDIs, check insert for certain numbers), so learn to keep a check on how many times you use it a day. When the medication is used out of the MDI, it will still sound as if there is med in the meter ... this is the propellent which propels the med into your mouth. So many people come to the ER because their MDI is not giving them relief ... only to find that it's empty. Cold air and high altitudes can also affect asthma. I would recommend not climbing any high mountains... there are beautiful areas all over the world still waiting to be explored w/o having to go into high altitudes. When you go out in the cold, make certain your mouth, throat, & head are covered. Breathing cold air can set off an attack. When you are jogging, make sure to breathe through your nose & not your mouth. The nares naturally warm inhaled air whereas the mouth does not. Do you have asthma symptoms any other occasions than exercise induced? If so, you can ask your MD to be placed on a long acting bronchodilator (Spiriva is the only one that is currently available and works for 24 hrs) and a corticosteroid (will keep the inflammation in the airways down). Contact the American Lung Association for info and begin your new life. Please don't let this stop you ... life is too short. I check this site about
2 - 3 times a week, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. This week I plan on posting medication education. Maybe some of this might help you. Good luck and just because you have one bad day, don't let the next day stop you from enjoying every moment!

I know how you feel. I was only recently diagnosed the asthma. My symptoms started over a little over 2 years ago and it took nearly a year and a half to find out what was wrong. My single biggest trigger seems to perfumes, strong fragrances and smells and cigarette smoke. I am afraid that I will have problems every time I step out my front door. And some times just staying home is scary. (I live in an apartment and many of my neighbors smoke and it comes through the vents.) I hate the fact that I can't even go to the movies without praying that no one will sit any where near me wearing any perfume. I always have an inhaler with me. One in my purse, one at home, one at work, one in my bookbag. This way I'm never far from one.
I take Advair 250/50 2x a day, Spriva once in the morning, Singulair occasionally, Claritin sometimes, and use my albuterol inhaler as needed. (I've made the switch to Proventil HFA but haven't used it yet and I am waiting to see if it works for me or if I have problems like others have been reporting.)

My situation is also similar to yours. I'm in my early 50's and never had asthma until about
15 months ago when I was exposed to a lot (and I mean a lot) of paper shredding fibers over a period of several days. Right after that I developed symptoms of asthma that I'm still dealing with over a year later, although it is mostly controlled with medication now. But despite all the meds, sometimes I still get severe exacerbations and also have EIA now and it is always very distressing and depressing when the asthma symptoms recur.
I get some comfort from having done a lot of research and learned as much as possible about
this disease and the meds available to treat it. I also get comfort from having ample supplies of all the meds I might need around. For example, just for emergencies, I always keep a supply of oral Prednisone on hand, especially when traveling. Fortunately I haven't had to use it often but it has kept me out of the emergency room on more than one occasion over the past year and it is a great comfort to know it is there and available should I need it.
It still amazes me though that one day I can be feeling completely healthy and normal and then when symptoms return be feeling completely miserable. When I'm feeling good though, I feel pretty comfortable about
traveling as long as I have all the meds I might need with me and I always carry them in my carry on luggage to avoid the risk of losing them. Recently I spent 4 months in S.E. Asia and that went pretty well, asthma wise.
It definitely sucks to be dependent on so much medication, but what choice do we have? I'm very thankful though that these medications that are allowing me to lead an almost normal life exist. Imo, it's helpful to focus on and be thankful for what we still have rather than on what MIGHT happen and what we don't have. Things could be a lot worse.

'American Idol': 9 Things You Didn't See on Season 13's Penultimate Episode
The Nokia Theatre's 7,000 seats were filled, but only three by past Idols.
If you watched Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene battle it out on American Idol's top 2 performance show Tuesday night, you saw an epic showdown. What was happening off-camera at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre? Read on for 9 things you didn't see on TV.
1. In a venue that holds 7,000 people, there were only three Idol finalists from past seasons (though many more are expected at Wednesday's finale). Season eight's Scott MacIntyre and his wife Christina flew in from Nashville to attend and were seated in the front row. Seated further back were Erika Van Pelt and Jeremy Rosado from season 11.
2. The number of Idols goes up if you count the current crop of finalists. The season 13 eliminated contestants from the top 13 were seated together in the second row, right across the aisle from the MacIntyres. That required a whole lot of seat fillers to come running when this year's Idols were called to the stage to join Johnson and Irene in singing Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway."
3. One new thing we learned on Tuesday night: old Idol sets aren't discarded, they're stored. Returning to the stage were the gyroscope-looking towers with the revolving American Idol logos. They haven't been seen on the CBS stages for at least a couple of years. For the performance finale, the oval Idol logos weren't spinning around, they were stationary.

4. Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez have doled out their share of standing ovations during the season. They gave another one Tuesday night to Johnson when he sang "Dream On," the Aerosmith song chosen for him by Idol creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. The two judges didn't wait for the end of the song, they were on their feet about three-quarters through. Harry Connick Jr. remained seated.
5. A new addition to the American Idol set on stage 36 at CBS this season was a collection of large, lighted photos of the top 13. As contestants were eliminated, their photos were dimmed. Only two photos had to be transported to the Nokia, and they were hung high above the stage. Johnson and Irene were thus smiling down on everyone.
6. The Idol finale was a hot ticket but just a few minutes before the live broadcast was about to begin, there were hundreds of empty seats. Ticketholders had been asked to be seated by 4:30 p.m., so they were either late, or an extraordinary number of seat-fillers were pressed into service.
STORY: 'American Idol' Recap: Top Two Duke it Out in Season 13 Finale
7. Just before round three of the competition was to begin, director Louis J. Horvitz gave an audio shout-out to the audience, praising them for being so great. It sounds like something you'd expect a director to say to every audience, but this was rare praise, so we suspect Horvitz really meant it.
8. When the one-hour show was over, it wasn't over. The audience was asked to stay, both by Horvitz and warm-up maestro Cory Almeida. The reason? Two numbers for Wednesday night's show were going to be pre-taped -- one by the three judges and Randy Jackson, the other by Lopez in a solo turn. A majority of audience members did stay, despite a 40-minute wait for the judges' performance.
9. Following the first take of the judges and Jackson singing a medley of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" and Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" came the clue that there would be a second take as a large entourage suddenly made its way to the stage. While hairdressers and make-up artists did their thing, Horvitz announced on the p.a. that there would be another take. That second run-through was interrupted and the talent started over, so the total number of performances was 2.5.

Charles Biname's biopic of Maurice "The Rocket" Richard, "the Babe Ruth of hockey," could not be squarer even if it were made during the 1937-1955 era it portrays. Every bit as single-minded as its French-Canadian protagonist, pic drowns a potentially interesting story in careful literalism and elaborate period detail. Looking suspiciously like George Reeves' Superman and about as emotive, Roy Dupuis' humorless hero overcomes physical frailty and social injustice to conquer in the name of francophone equality. Pic, which opened Dec. 1 at Gotham's Cinema Village, boasts dazzling hockey action, but its off-ice piousness makes for tough sledding for non-Canucks.
Ken Scott's overdetermined script permits no event, no emotion, no moment not absolutely essential to his straight-ahead narrative, as every character displays one trait that will slot him or her into a preordained role.
Against a backdrop of changing times as World War II begins, escalates and ends — Biname often uses black-and-white or color-leached exteriors to allow for generous chunks of documentary footage — the grown-up Richard (Dupuis) faces two major challenges: to prove himself as a hockey player, and to stand up for himself as a French-Canadian.
This dual focus could have granted depth and richness to the characters. Instead, each obstacle is grimly set up and heroically knocked down. When everyone but gruff, hardline Montreal Canadiens coach Dick Irvin (an excellent Stephen McHattie) doubts Richard's stamina, Richard spectacularly proves them wrong.
Meanwhile, in his private life, Richard's father-in-law (Michel Barrette) mirrors society's skepticism, opposing his daughter's marriage to a potential loser, while steadfast wife Lucille (Julie LeBreton) alternates between two stereotypical emotions: pride for Richard's accomplishments and fear for his safety.
Swallowing the injustices he and his Francophone teammates daily confront as second-class citizens even after he becomes a superstar, Richard at first pridefully refuses to ask anything of anyone. He is finally driven to speak out through a newspaper column (though never clearly enough to elucidate the political situation for non-Quebecois auds), and takes to the airwaves to quiet the populace when his suspension by a bigoted Anglo commissioner sets off ethnic rioting.
Pic partly compensates for its lame predictability on land with its precision and excitement on the ice. With a wealth of pro hockey players in the cast, Richard's speed, agility and ability to maneuver over, under, around and through opponents resonates vividly even to the uninitiated. Helmer Biname excels at presenting the brutal physicality of the sport in its pre-armor days as an experiential rush, going well beyond any mere validation or condemnation of violence.
Tech credits are pro, though Michel Cusson's swelling score skirts parody.

Gentlemen we salute you and your can-do spirit. Would that a few others follow your cue.
While some of our invited politicans and royals - with all the advantages of rank and privilege and four days advanced warning - still failed to attend Sunday's funeral of President Lech Kaczynski in Poland, GB's Ice Hockey players made considerably more effort to fly the flag and represent their country in an international arena.
After finishing a training camp in Coventry on Thursday they travelled to Gatwick for a 4pm flight to Ljubiana only to discover, along with the rest of the travelling world, that things were going from bad to worse.
Hurriedly, they checked into a local hotel while manage Andy Buxton and others hit the phones trying to make alternative arrangements, making hundreds of calls.
Hiring a coach was proving nigh on impossible until they struck gold when somebody unexpectedly picked up the phone at B&N Starsleeper back in Coventry, a company specialising in bussing pop bands around.
No, they didn't have anything available, really, but they had just taken delivery of a double decker coach which was going in for a conversion the very next day. If it was an emergency, and national honour was at stake, they were willing to delay the conversion by a few days.
The deal was done and, although GB still hoped to catch a plane on the Friday, they soon realised after a late breakfast that that simply wasn't going to happen. Taking delivery of the coach, they drove to Dover where P&O performed another minor miracle and got them on the 4pm sailing to Calais.
Buxton picks up the story after that: "We drove off at Calais and just headed due south straight for Slovenia. The only time we stopped was for a drivers' comfort break. The lads had the upstairs and a double seat each, although I think it would be exaggerating to claim they got any sleep. Officials, trainers and the like were downstairs.
"We pulled over by the Austrian/Slovenia border about 11am the next day, and we insisted the players sit down for a proper pre-match meal, and eventually got to the Ice Rink just before 3pm.
"Obviously we had been in constant touch with the organisers, and they had managed to switch our scheduled 1pm start against Croatia to 4.30pm, so we had just over an hour to get ourselves together. Given the circumstances, I thought our 4-1 win was absolutely outstanding and to be honest almost defied belief.
"The lads were operating on adrenalin and our big worry was that the reaction and fatigue would kick in in for our second game against South Kroea but no, we maintained momentum and managed another fine win.
"Everybody is now sleeping soundly, and resting up, before we really start the difficult part of the week with games against Slovenia and Hungary, who are both ranked well above us and are the tournament favourites.
"We will give it everything as always and after another rest day we finish against Poland - our last three games against the Poles have gone to overtime so we are very closely matched.
"Looking back on the journey you would never wish it on anybody but my goodness it was a good bonding exercise.
"Players from opposing teams in our doemstic season who don't get to spend much time with each other but suddenly everybody was mucking in together and, dare I say it, enjoying the experience."

Not Jorge Castañeda. In his Big Think interview, the country's former Secretary of Foreign Affairs—now a Global Distinguished Professor of Politics at NYU—argues that Mexico's destiny is to become part of a "North American community" similar to the European Union.
In principle, Castañeda says, this community "probably should include some type of monetary union along European lines." Getting there won't be easy, however: in order for Mexico to develop its way out of its longstanding economic rut, it will have to convince its northern neighbor to look south and see economic opportunities, not drug and immigration controversies.
About those controversies: Castañeda views illegal immigration as a potential "solution" rather than a problem, and the U.S.-Mexico border fence as a "terrible" (but so far, ineffectual) idea. As for the war on drugs, he believes it's "unwinnable" and suggests that the two countries "sit back for a second" and rethink the whole policy, which currently requires Mexicans to die combating the smuggling of marijuana that can now be sold legally in California dispensaries.

I captured these photos as if I was looking through Olin's eyes. They make me feel so calm, it's no wonder why leaving the beach was an all-out tantrum... but who could blame him?
I often ponder what my son must be thinking at any given moment. Does he notice the stares that come from grown adults and children alike? Does he notice the rude comments from people who think that speaking loudly under their breath makes them look like a superhero in the checkout line at the grocery store?
|Can you feel the longing he has for the water?

Hi All,
We are in the beginning planning stages for holding an Independent Country Music Festival in Ohio on September 27th. It is a bit of a short notice I know but if there is enough interest shown we plan to go for it as the Indie artists need their own festival to promote their talents to the people.
I sincerely believe that the best artists in The World are not the ones on the major labels that you are hearing on your radio everyday. Sadly country music has reached a state when the one with the most marketing, promotion and of course MONEY behind them wins and talent has very little to do with it.
I and my friends & business partners are wanting to do what we can to change that but it will take some time as it has taken 18-20 years for the music business to reach its present state.
So if you are an artist on an Indie label or no label at all that is interested in performing please send me an email. Just be forewarned that at least for this year it will not be a paying gig. In fact we may have to even charge a small fee to perform just to cover our expenses.
We have to pay rental on the facilities, hire security, purchase liability insurance and pay for the production costs such as sound, lights & staff members. Not to mention that we need to advertise and promote the show.
We will also be video taping if you are interested in having a video of your live performance. We are not looking to make money from this as it is for the artists but we have to cover our costs.
If you are a fan please show your support and make plans to attend on Saturday September 27th from around 11 AM until 10 PM.
More info & directions are listed on the website, which I am still in the process of building. It is at http://www.indiecountryfest.com

Hello and welcome!
I remember growing up as an Indian Christian and feeling very alone in many regards. My thoughts on organized religion, careers and even clothing felt contrary to my Indian roots but also different from other Americans. At the risk of sounding cliche, I was a round peg trying to fit into a triangle or square hole.
I would look in magazines and see no-one like myself. Then I would sit at church meetings and felt unengaged by the same things that excited parents. As a I grew up I learned that despite what I thought, I was never alone in my struggle. More people than I imagined felt the same way as me but just didn't share how they felt outright.
This blog is a safe space for me, and anyone else who ever wants to share their thoughts and ideas.
P.S- I always welcome guest blog posts.

Use buttons below to view more information about Amelia -Fontaine/Hood Design Group.
One of the scariest things to deal with on a boat is a fire. AMELIA went through this a couple years ago and was fortunate to be on a dock so that the firefighters were able to access the boat in an timely manner. Even though they were able to put out the fire well before it spread outside the engine room, the real damage was done by all the smoke spreading throughout the cabins. The engine room was completely gutted and the majority of the cabins received extensive varnish and paint to try and remove the smoke odor. But the major work was done in the salon where we redid the forward bulkhead to make the boat a little stiffer while sailing. As is Jeff and Nancy Hughes style the boat was fitted with an extensive and state-of-the-art electronics package that had much more integrated systems than just chart plotters and radars. Finishing off with a new paint job, the boat is looking better then ever and as is the case with Lyman-Morse boats, when she arrives in port there are always heads that turn.
Jeff and Karen Hughes commissioned LM to build their new Hood designed 63 footer based on the WINDWALKER type of hull, and also drawing on their experiences from sailing their Little Harbor 50. She was to accommodate their family in safety and comfort for extended cruising and also to be a competitive coastal and offshore racer. The Hughes chose a comfortable center cockpit layout with a low-profile, roomy pilothouse enclosure for ease of maneuverability. With her large master cabin aft, a well thought out main salon, an accommodating galley, and two double cabins forward, each with private head and shower combinations, she provides comfort afloat for a family of six. The Hughes plan to cruise Labrador and later Chile, after their initial Newport-Bermuda Race shakedown in June. The hull was constructed using the SCRIMP system over a male mold and vinylester resin. The elegant interior is the classic Herreshoff style of painted bulkheads and varnished mahogany trim with intricate beading along the perimeters of all doors and drawers. The deep hydro-dynamically shaped centerboard extends her 6.5' shallow-draft to over 12' enabling excellent upwind performance while minimizing wetted surface area when off the wind. A retractable hydraulic bow thruster provides ease of maneuverability in tight quarters. Her 84' carbon fiber stowaway mast from GMT is fitted with a mainsail with vertical battens providing extra roach for better performance and ease in handling. All in all, AMELIA is one of the most sophisticated and beautiful yachts we built to date and it shows.

Multimedia projects are a great way for students to demonstrate learning in a creative way. Creating multimedia projects like videos also provides opportunities for students to build collaboration and communication skills. With 1:1 devices, making multimedia projects has never been easier. But having such easy access to images, videos, and songs also adds copyright complications that consumers need to be aware of. We all need to know how to find, use, and cite appropriate resources.
We teach about plagiarism in many different subject areas. We know that it's not okay to use others' ideas or written works and claim them as our own. And yet when it comes to images, music, or videos, students - and often teachers - don't adhere to the same standard. We get it! Finding high quality, royalty-free media resources is time consuming. This blog post will (a) address common misconceptions about copyright and (b) provide great resources for royalty-free photos, video, and music that students (and teachers!) can incorporate into projects and presentations.
Students also need to know how to (legally) share original content. In order for learning to be authentic and transformative, students need to share their learning with the world!
FAQ/Common Misconceptions
Because we are using this (song, video, image) for educational use, it's perfectly legal to use it.
Educational use, or fair use, is probably the most confusing aspect of copyright law. It allows for teachers to use limited selections of works. Typically fair use is related to using a copyrighted work sparingly in a review, commentary, research, or instruction. Because images, songs, and videos are creative and not factual information, they are less likely to meet the requirements of using it for fair use.
Can't I just use 30 seconds of this song?
The 30 second rule is a complete myth. It doesn't exist. Seriously. Here's more details.
My student really wants to use this copyrighted song. It just fits the video so well! Can't I use it if it's for educational use only?
Unfortunately, no. Educational use does not extend to using music in media projects or other original creations. I would recommend checking out the links above. There is a ton of royalty-free music out that that fits every occasion.
Well it's on YouTube, so can't I use it for my project?
Not exactly and we've got to be pretty careful here. While a ton of the content on YouTube is copyrighted and posted illegally, we shouldn't be encouraging students to use this content. Saving MP3s off YouTube or downloading the video files is definitely not legal unless you get permission from the owner of the video. The way videos earn money for an artist is based on how many times that video is viewed so taking it off YouTube will not earn the artist views. There are some YouTube channels that offer free stock footage and provide you a link to download the content, but these types of videos can be difficult to find.
Doesn't this take more instructional time?
Yes, it definitely can take more time especially when kids are just learning how to cite sources. But having kids practice digital citizenship will be very important when they get out into the workforce. They need to be able to create media without stealing just like we need to be able to write without plagiarizing.
My student wrote a parody of a copyrighted song. Can they put it on YouTube?
Not to be a killjoy, but that also violates YouTube's terms of service. While it might not get flagged right away and some artists don't care, it may get flagged and taken down. That would be a great project to showcase to your classroom or in front of the school.
