TORONTO, Aug. 3, 2016 /CNW/ - Feeling stressed? Adding water to your summer plans may be one of the best remedies. Boating offers fun on the water and much more. Research by Harris Decima shows that frequent boaters enjoy a better quality of life and enjoy stronger family connections than non-boaters. In fact, 81% of boaters (vs 67% of non-boaters) describe themselves as more energetic, in good physical shape and having a positive frame of mind.
One easy way to relax? Get out on the water and go boating. It not only benefits overall well-being, it's also more accessible than many think. In fact, more than 12 million Canadians went boating last year, according to the National Marine Manufacturers Association.
"Today's technology can make it difficult to fully disconnect and relax, which is why boating offers a unique solution," says Tracey Hart, director of marketing for Discover Boating Canada. "Surrounded by water, fresh air and your favourite people makes a boat one of the rare places where you can focus on each other, forget about daily distractions and enjoy the outdoors."
Whether on vacation or staycation, there are fun, stress free ways to get on the water. Discover Boating's insider tips can help anyone get started in fishing, wakesurfing, sailing, personal watercraft and cruising this summer.
Planning an on-the-water getaway, looking to rent, or considering ownership? Getting on a boat has never been more fun or easier to do. DiscoverBoating.ca offers four simple ways to disconnect from land and get your feet wet this season:

After winning the America East title for the third time in four years in the 2012 season, the Boston University softball team, under the leadership of new head coach Kathryn Gleason, looks to replicate last season's success.
BU is predicted to finish atop the America East with the University at Albany, but will face a new set of challenges as its move to a new league in the 2014 season prevents the team from playing in the conference championship.
Last season the team's place as America East champions guaranteed it a spot in the NCAA tournament, where it went 1–2 in the Regional round. This year, the team will have to fight harder and earn an at-large bid in order to make the tournament, but Gleason is determined to bring the team back there this season.
"We're going to do everything we can, and we've set up the schedule to get us where we need to be … and we just have to go do it on the field," Gleason said.
Despite frustration about not being allowed to participate in the America East tournament, Gleason believes the players will be able to use this setback to push themselves further in her first season as head coach.
"I talk about it a lot with the team. They've been through changes, they've got a new coach," Gleason said. "We've lost some players to injury, we've changed the lineup a little bit. They're getting used to me as a new coach and me implementing my culture."
Although the coaching staff has changed this season, many of the staple players for the team's success last year return to the team this season, including three of the four infielders, all three pitchers and junior catcher Amy Ekart. These players include two of last season's strongest offensive producers, junior infielders Megan Volpano and Brittany Clendenny, as well as junior outfielder Jayme Mask, last year's team leader in batting average and stolen bases.
Also returning to the team is junior pitcher Holli Floetker, whose standout season last year played a significant role in the team's 41–16 final record. She picked up 19 wins and finished the season with a conference-leading 1.54 ERA.
"Sometimes when I ask them to communicate at practice they're communicating in their own way because they already know each other," Gleason said of the team chemistry. "It's great just to look out and they can just turn to each other and know what they're going to do and know what play they're going to call."
Added to the team's veteran lineup are three freshman players, pitcher and first baseman Lauren Hynes, outfielder Haley King and walk-on outfielder Lauren Underhill.
Gleason emphasized that the team expects its freshmen to contribute, especially with the team's smaller roster this year. The veterans on the team, who have experienced success in previous seasons, will lead the team by example.
During the fall off-season, Gleason and assistant coach Susie Rzegocki worked with the players one-on-one on fundamentals before the Terriers came back to practice in January. Despite some inclement weather, the team has been undeterred in its practice.
"I don't think we missed a beat the minute we started practicing in January," Gleason said.
Despite injuries and graduating seniors, Gleason believes the lineup will remain generally consistent with last season, especially once injuries incurred during the off-season begin to heal. These familiar faces may take comfort in last season's successes.
"They see it as a driving force," Gleason said. "As we've been here before, we know what we need to do, and now we're going to take that next step. They've had success, and once you've had success you don't want to move backwards."
The first step in repeating last season's success is this weekend's Citrus Classic, starting Friday in Orlando, Fla. The Terriers will face the University of Wisconsin and Georgia Southern University. They will play Wisconsin three times and Georgia Southern twice over the course of the weekend.
"If you don't have those teams right away that drive you and challenge you, then you get a soft sense of where you are," Gleason said.
With this challenge, BU hopes to start off the season well and get an early push toward building its RPI ranking and improving its chances of making it to the NCAA tournament. This coming season looks to be one full of both the familiar and the new.
"They're ready to go," Gleason said. "Ready to put on the uniform and represent BU."

You'll be able to identify each instrument -- and you might be surprised at the subtleties and sounds. Regular concertgoers may even find a new favorite in the instrument family.
As we take this tour through the orchestra, we'll come to my instrument, the harp. The harp is one of music's oldest instruments, with origins in ancient Egypt. From Latin America to Africa to Europe, the harp in its many variations is a cornerstone of several musical cultures. Harps have become important symbols for the aristocracy, especially in Ireland, where the harpist was once a powerful political figure. It's also the symbol for Guinness beer!
Great composers such as Mozart, Debussy and Handel have written works for the harp, as have Boieldieu, Rosetti and Ravel. Still, the harp remains a mystery to many concertgoers. When you're in the audience, you can hear its sounds, but you can't see it very well at the side of the orchestra.
Modern harps, such as the one you'll hear this weekend, are quite large, with 47 strings on a triangular frame and seven foot pedals that adjust the tension in the strings. This allows the harpist to play in every key along with the rest of the orchestra. If you watch closely enough, you'll see that the harpist uses only four fingers to pluck. We don't use our pinkies.
With its romantic, angelic sounds, the harp is popular at weddings and special events, but it is also a commanding instrument that can generate strong, dark sounds. It weighs about 85 pounds and is approximately 6 feet tall. That's the source of the power that enables it to soar above other instruments in the orchestra.
We transport these huge instruments on special dollies and in large vehicles such as station wagons. Normally, if we're traveling and need a harp on the mainland, we try to borrow or rent an instrument.
When the orchestra reaches Variation 9 in "The Young Person's Guide," look to the left of the orchestra and listen for the divine strings of the harp.
Our "Exhilarating Glory" concerts on Friday and Sunday star pianist Jon Nakamatsu and the romantic Grieg Piano Concerto, as well as Brahm's powerful masterpiece, Symphony No. 1.
Please join principal timpanist Stuart Chafetz for "Concert Conversations" at 7 p.m. for an in-depth discussion of the night's programs and interesting facts about our guest artists. What better way to begin a fabulous evening of music?

Event: Fox Saturday Baseball
Date: August 2012
In 1977, Earth received a bizarre signal from space that became known as the "Wow!" signal. Thirty-five years later, Joe Buck and nearby weirdo, Tim McCarver, decided to respond. In just over a minute, McCarver tells a dumb story, Joe Buck attempts a pathetic joke, and 72 seconds of your life are completely wasted. If beings from the planet Benzar come across this transmission, they'll send an alien army equipped with laser guns to destroy every American ballpark.

VIDEO: DA: Teen Was 'Instigator' In Disabled Woman's Death
The two views were presented to jurors Monday at the opening of Angela Marinucci's trial. Marinucci, now 18, is charged with first-degree murder and other crimes in the death of Jennifer Daugherty, 30.
Daugherty was bound with Christmas decorations, beaten, forced to drink urine and detergent and then stabbed to death in February 2010, prosecutors said. Her body was found two days later, stuffed into a plastic garbage container and shoved beneath a truck in a snow-covered school parking lot.
Channel 11's Courtney Brennan was in the courtroom when testimony began on Monday. More than 15 family members and friends of Daugherty filled the Westmoreland County courthouse. Brennan reported that many of them cried as the district attorney told the jury detailed information about how Daugherty died.
One witness testified that she was driving to work and saw two men dragging a garbage can in the middle of a snowstorm. She told the judge that she knew something wasn't right and said when she watched the news that evening her fears were confirmed.
"I saw two people dragging a garbage can across the road. It seemed a little odd so it was definitely something to question. Later on when we heard over the news what was going on I immediately called my father and we knew something was wrong," said Rebecca Clark.
Westmoreland County District Attorney John Peck told the jury that Marinucci was present for much of the time Daugherty was tortured and killed in a dingy apartment in Greensburg. Marinucci sometimes stayed there with her boyfriend, Ricky Smyrnes, 25, and four other adults – all of whom are charged in the slaying and awaiting trial.
Peck contends Marinucci was jealous of Daugherty and participated in two "family meetings" called by Smyrnes, both of which he said included unanimous votes by all six defendants to kill Daugherty.
"She did not want anybody else vying for Ricky Smyrnes' attention," Peck said of Marinucci, calling her "the prime instigator of the conspiracy."
Daugherty had taken a bus from her hometown, Mount Pleasant, to visit her friend at the apartment and had a medical appointment scheduled in Greensburg.
Instead, by the night of Feb. 9, 2010, the others began harassing Daugherty, a woman described by her family as having the mental capacity of a young teen.
"Although she was a young woman, in many ways she was still a child," Peck said. "She didn't understand the concept of who do you trust and who you couldn't trust."
While Daugherty took a shower, the apartment residents stole $8 from her purse -- which Peck said was her bus fare for the 12-mile trip back to Mount Pleasant -- and a gift card. The suspects spilled makeup and mouthwash in the purse and when Daugherty found out and asked why they did it, "the harassment became more significant," Peck said.
She was punched in the face, kicked and hit with a bar from a towel rack, Peck said. At some point her hands were tied with Christmas lights and her feet tied with tinsel garland, Peck said.
Apparently realizing the situation had escalated, the suspects voted for the first time to kill Daugherty and proceeded to force feed her human waste and laundry bleach, Peck said. When Daugherty got sick and vomited, they took another death vote, he said.
Peck said Daugherty was then forced to write a "suicide" note. Smyrnes then gave a knife to Melvin Knight, 21, and told him to kill Daugherty saying, "I can't do it. You have to do it," Peck said.
Peck intends to pursue the death penalty against Smyrnes, Knight, and Knight's girlfriend, Amber Meidinger, 21. He doesn't intend to seek the death penalty against the two other defendants -- Peggy Miller, 28, and Robert Masters, 36.
Peck can't pursue the death penalty against Marinucci, because she was a juvenile at the time of the crime. Her age was the cornerstone of her attorney's opening statement.
Attorney Michael DeMatt told the jury Smyrnes was the driving force for the killing. "You're gonna hear evidence that doesn't fit ... the Commonwealth's theory" that Marinucci was jealous of Daugherty and wanted her dead, he said.
Instead, DeMatt painted Smyrnes -- a small-time criminal with a history of violence -- as a "flirt" who approached all the women at the apartment at one time or another and who wanted Daugherty dead so he could focus on Marinucci.
He said Masters told police he didn't know how to stop the torture killing.
"How can you ask a 17-year-old high school student to step up and stop this violence from occurring?" DeMatt asked. He said the prosecution wants the jury to believe "this 17-year-old managed to convince five others, adults, to perform the ultimate act -- taking another person's life."

Flaxseed is a miracle food that is just right
for heart health. It contains nutrients
which can apply a coating to your arteries just like a
nonstick spray thereby allowing your blood to flow
smoothly. It helps reduces high blood pressure,
cholesterol and risk of heart disease.
Lowers High Blood
Flaxseed contains
alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which is a type of
omega-3 fatty acid that can help to decrease
blood pressure. You just need to take 1
tablespoon of ground flaxseed to get 1.8 grams
of ALA and 2.2 grams of fiber, which includes
both insoluble and soluble forms. A diet
rich in fiber has been proven to help lower
blood pressure.
Flaxseed may be a
little seed but its benefits are real powerful.
It can easily sweep away cholesterol that clogs
your arteries right out of your system.
Flaxseed has the
ability to lower total and LDL (bad cholesterol)
without impacting HDL (good cholesterol) levels.
Flaxseed, just
like oatmeal, is high in mucilage, the type of
soluble fiber that is effective in helping to
lower cholesterol. This sticky fiber slows
down food passing through the stomach and small
intestines thus allowing the HDL particles to
have sufficient time to pick up cholesterol and
whisk it to the liver allowing it to convert to
bile then getting rid of it.
Flaxseed also
contains lignans, a estrogen-like chemicals,
that works by affecting enzymes involved in
cholesterol metabolism.
Consuming 2 - 6
tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily for just 4
weeks can lower total cholesterol by 9% and LDL
cholesterol by 18% in young healthy adults,
postmenopausal women or those who has moderately
high cholesterol levels.
Lowers risk of
heart disease
Flaxseed has the
capability to fight inflammation, a key player
in heart disease, by blocking cytokines,
pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and platelet
activating factor.
The ALA in
flaxseed has been proven to help lower the risk
of heart disease and heart attacks as it has the
ability to reduce blood clotting, a contributor
to strokes and heart attacks as well as to
prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
Just consuming 1-2
tablespoons daily can provide you with
incredible heart insurance.
Easy ways
to add flaxseed to your diets
Just sprinkle roasted
ground flaxseed on yoghurt, cereal, salads and
cottage cheese.
Mix flaxseed into
batter for waffles or pancakes.
Use flaxseed to baking
muffins, breads or cookies
Add some flaxseed to
casseroles, meatloaf and burgers.
Replace fat in recipes
with flaxseed.
Substitute 3
tablespoons of ground flax with 1 tablespoon of
butter, shortening, margarine or oil

Joe's No Flats Tubeless Ready Kit - Super Sealant has everything you need to setup tubeless ready rims and tyres.
|Tyre Bead:
One of the quickest and easiest to use on the market, the sealant that comes with this kit contains micro-sealing particles to quickly find and seal any irregularities in the rim or tyre. This sealant also instantly seals punctures in the tread up to 6mm and more permanently than any other sealant on the market.
240ml Joe's Super sealant, with micro-sealing particles
2x tubeless Presta valves with removable cores
1x roll of nylon rim tape for 2 wheels
1x valve key for easy removal of the core
1x spare Presta valve core
1x Presta to Schrader adapter
These tubular tyres are designed for tubular rims, these are glued on using tubular cement or tubular tape. They are the preferred choice for serious riders and professionals when all that matters is performance. A tubular is a sealed unit with an inner tube sewn into the tyres casing, this means the tubular is perfectly round in profile and offers a better feel when cornering. Vittoria have introduced open tubulars which are the same design as their tubular tyres but with a bead for use on a clincher rim, these will offer the closest feel of a tubular but the ease of repair associated with a clincher. Sizing is subtly different to clincher wheels and can be a bit confusing as most manufacturers still quote the old imperial sizes. However there are only 2 real sizes: 26" is the same as 650c, then 27", 28" and 700c are all the same size. We spotted this useful article on Bike Radar which explains briefly the benefits and how to fit tubular tyres.

National Bank (PNB) has frozen on its agencies for the year. The list, which comprises eight agencies, has gone up from last year's four. Along with Interpub, Perfect 10, Basic 4 and Crossway Communication, which have been empanelled for the second time in a row, the list now features Bates 141, Mercantile Advertising, Impact and Indo Aryan as well.
While the creative duties will be handled by the agencies, the media duties will be looked after by their media counterparts. The agencies' performance will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
JWT, Capital, Lowe, O&M, Rediffusion and Percept H worked together on the account in 2005.
The empanelled agencies will pitch in their designs/ concepts for the ads PNB wishes to release from time to time. The job for the release of the ads in the print media will be assigned to the agency whose design/ concept is finally approved.
While the ad industry has been in a huff about pitch fees and costs of artworks produced for a pitch and not being paid for by the client, PNB has clarified that it will not pay any money for the conceptualisation and design of artwork that it does not approve finally.
The roster agencies have been instructed not to undertake any new competitive assignments, excluding those they are already handling, without PNB's prior written consent.
Nationalised banks seem to be cashing in on the lull in private sector banks in the country. Almost all national banks are trying something new to grab consumers, who are distressed with their funds resting in private banks. PNB is no exception.
Looking at the current economic situation, the bank is trying to lure consumers through its revised interest rates - a 0.5 per cent reduction in interest rates for home, car and education loans, and a higher rate of interest on term deposits for a year to less than two years (10.5 per cent) and for senior citizens (11 per cent). Print ads for the same were released recently.
The bank is also mulling a brand makeover. Though it is not looking at a complete makeover with a change in logo and all, it will look at a change in tagline. The current tagline is: 'The Name You Can Bank Upon'.
Sources confirm that apart from a strong brand building campaign, PNB is looking at particularly focusing on IT services, Net banking and ATMs, and tapping the youth, for which it needs to be perceived as a new age bank.
PNB opened first for business in 1895, with an original set of 14 shareholders and seven directors.

Jungle Fever project in Enchanted Adornments10:45 AM
Guest Blogger: Jamie Hogsett
Enchanted Adornments Inspiration Gallery: Jungle Fever
Many months ago, I was honored when Andrew Thornton invited me to make a piece for the gallery section of his sister Cynthia Thornton's book, Enchanted Adornments. The book has been out for a little while now and I just happened to unearth my copy last week when cleaning my office. I finally sat down to look through the book and I haven't been able to put it down since. Cynthia's drawings and stories are beautiful. The entire book is a work of art.
I've been fortunate to see several of Cynthia's jewelry designs over the years, via Stringing magazine, and I must say that the pieces she created for her book are the best yet. She has such an amazing sense of design, probably because she puts a little bit of magic in every piece. I've never with polymer clay and have only limited practice with PMC and resin, but Cynthia's book makes me want to try my hand at all of the techniques. Where will I ever find the time?
My own humble contribution to Cynthia's book is below. The polymer clay beads, made by the lovely Pam Wynn inspired the jungle theme. I used shrink plastic to make dozens of leaves and attached them to sterling silver flower links using natural brass jump rings. I strung the polymer clay beads, plastic leaves, and purple Czech glass beads on heavy Antique Brass Soft Flex wire.
Thank you, Cynthia and Andrew, for letting me be a part of such an amazing book!

The Final Word: Maybe it's time to let boys be boys outside
By Craig Wilson, USA TODAY

We had to entertain ourselves rather than be entertained. We had to fill time rather than have it filled for us. We even battled boredom more than once. And won.
And, we learned the joys of a simple cardboard box. I just made my own kid a 'Race-Car' made from a cardboard box and a little duct tape. He has rooms full of plastic toys but that 'Race Car' has held his attention more than all the plastic, all the computer games and all the TV combined. Now, I show him an empty Quaker Oats container - and his imagination goes wild...

IHS (News - Alert) Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of information and
analytics, today announced that it has established the IHS/Dr. Lawrence
Klein Annual MBA Fellowship Fund at the Wharton School of the University
of Pennsylvania. The fund will provide $25,000 a year to an MBA graduate
student or students with an interest in Finance and/or Analytical
Modeling at the Wharton School.
IHS established this fund to honor the memory and contributions of Dr.
Lawrence Klein, a former Wharton and Penn professor, Nobel (News - Alert) laureate and
pioneer in econometric forecasting, who died in October 2013. Dr. Klein
rose to prominence for his work studying the macro economy and
developing statistical models to predict future economic conditions. Dr.
Klein built the first forecasting model of the United States economy in
1946. Using this model, he correctly predicted the post-World War II
boom at a time when most economists were convinced that the U.S. was
headed for a recession.
In 1963, he founded Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates, which
later joined with DRI, launching the modern economic forecasting
industry more than 50 years ago. That economic forecasting expertise
today is a core capability of IHS, which is the leading source of
information, analytics and expertise in critical areas that shape
today's global landscape, serving businesses and governments in more
than 165 countries.
"IHS is pleased to offer this Fellowship in memory of Dr. Klein and the
significant contributions he made in introducing the important
discipline of macroeconomicforecasting to the world," said Scott Key,
IHS president and chief executive officer. "It is our hope that the
fellowship will open doors for Wharton MBA students who will go on to
meet the global economics challenges of the future and carry on in the
spirit of Dr. Klein."
In 1980, Dr. Klein was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics "for the
creation of econometric models and the application to the analysis of
economic fluctuations and economic policies." Dr. Klein's work
stimulated research on econometric forecasting models that could be used
for the practical analysis of economic policies. The 1980 Nobel press
release read: "Few, if any, research workers in the empirical field of
economic science have had so many successors and such a large impact as
Lawrence Klein." His work inspired models that are still employed by the
Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank,
among others.

McNeil & Pamphilon's Sketch Night, London
It's hard to make a living as a stand-up double-act. For all the great comic chemistry that can result from two perfectly matched performers, the simple economics of splitting a fee between two has spelt the death knell for loads of promising duos, from Lee & Herring downwards. So the best of luck to newcomers McNeil & Pamphilon, whose smart and delightfully stupid sketch comedy has made them a hot property on the circuit. Like many great double acts, they're a study in opposites: Steve McNeil is square, gawky and impossibly uncool, while Sam Pamphilon's an exotically named, floppy-haired potential sex symbol. Their material uses clever spins on all kinds of contemporary laddish concerns, from sexual deviancy to social awkwardness, and delivers hearty (sometimes filthy) laughs in a similar vein to kindred spirits Late Night Gimp Fight.
St James Theatre, SW1, Thu
Wil Anderson: GoodWil, London
We all know Aussie blokes. They're like the ones in the Foster's adverts: blunt, beer-obsessed, cheerfully sexist (except when they play chess with girls in a bizarre, clearly client-mandated bid not to alienate women utterly). Well, Wil Anderson is a different kind of Aussie. Immaculately well-groomed, he's a crusader for gay rights, despite being – in his own words – "mostly heterosexual". Giving the lie to stereotypes about our Australian cousins, he's massively popular in his homeland, and the host of one of the nation's biggest comedy shows The Gruen Transfer. You might think he wouldn't need to bother with coming over here at all, but – like his countryman Adam Hills – Anderson's utterly straightforward, optimistic and comedically satisfying take on the world means he's got a lot to offer UK audiences.
Downstairs, Soho Theatre, W1, Mon to Fri
Arnold Brown, Hove
It's a long time since the first exponents of alternative comedy shambled on to the stage of London's Comedy Store and tried (with various degrees of competence) to entertain a crowd. Many of the acts – including Rik Mayall, French & Saunders and Keith Allen – went on to turn alternative values into mainstream fame. It's rare to find a veteran of those early days still playing the clubs, but softly spoken Scottish great Arnold Brown is still plying his trade in the traditional way, and his deadpan, often surprisingly dark musings still have the power to create hilarity more than 30 years on. Perhaps because he never made it as big as some of his contemporaries, Brown's never allowed his stand-up instincts to go soft. Respected as an icon by many much younger acts, he's a vintage talent well worth sampling.

Department of Labor, the employment of pharmacy technicians increase by 32 percent inside the 2010-20 decade. If you suspect that there is doubt in prescription details, request proper identification. In this short article, we will discuss about some with the benefits from the same and the way it makes medications much easier to use. If you or somebody is thinking about stopping smoking, speak with your pharmacist today. Check the company's Frequently Asked Questions to see whether they charge separately with this service. The tech will enter orders, check orders, process requests for insurance and patient information among other things. Provide your senior high school diploma or it's equivalent along with your transcripts on the school of one's choice. In the situation of pharmacy specialist jobs, giving a bad prescription could be the widespread error that's certainly mostly documented. There are two ways for being a pharmacist technician, getting certified or registered through your state. To find degree programs that train you to get a career as a pharmacy technician, you can check out the Directory of Schools website at directoryofschools. If possible try to use exactly the same pharmacy just as much as possible. I come with an even deeper reaction to this newest pharmacy tragedy. Progression and cancer risk factors can therefore be safely assumed for similar conditions existing in NSCLC. There can be an exception for the pharmacist tech training program. 0 Restauracja Przyjazna Rodzinie polityka prywatności regulamin kontakt Działalność uruchomiona przy współfinansowaniu ze środków Unii Europejskiej w ramach Europejskiego Funduszu Społecznego

Faas #1 in Focuses; Championships to Coons, Kaplan & Skoglund
Irwindale, CA — "The car was absolutely perfect from start to finish," said Dave Darland of Lincoln, Ind. in victory lane Thursday night after winning the 67th "Turkey Night Grand Prix" at Irwindale Speedway. Darland passed pole starter Kody Swanson on lap three and led the final 96 laps of the 98-lap race in his Nine Racing Toyota/Oakley – Performance Racing Industry Beast/Pink Toyota. NASCAR vet Kasey Kahne finished second ahead of Bobby East, Don Basile "Rookie of the Race" winner Mike Murgoitio and Garrett Hansen. "This is a tough race," added Darland. "It's a great feeling to beat the best competition anywhere. The only nervous point came when some cars crashed right in front of me. We might have won this race before if It had been 98 laps a few years back." Darland finished third in 1999 and fourth in 1998. Swanson was the fastest qualifier in a 66-car field, while Ricky Ehrgott and Brad Kuhn won the "qualifying races." Jerry Coons Jr. and Wilke/Pak Motorsports emerged as National Midget Champion driver and car owner, while Johnny Rodriguez and Mitchell Motorsports grabbed the Western Midget driver and owner titles.
Bobby Santos III of Franklin, Mass. gave Toyota a victory in its USAC Sprint car debut, winning the 40-lap Lucas Oil Western Sprint car feature in his Western Speed Racing TRD/K & N Filters Eagle. Santos trailed Cole Whitt fo 31 laps, then led the last nine to beat Whitt, Tony Hunt, fast qualifier Nick Greenand 2007 series champion Ryan Kaplan. The series car owner title went to Michael Swanson.

My name is Leslie Sbrocco and I'm the host of Check, Please! Bay Area. Each week, I will be sharing my tasting notes about the wine the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show.
Wines of the Week: KQED Wine Club
Our guests enjoyed some of these delicious offerings from the KQED Wine Club.
2006 Vinum Cellars "Chard-NO-Way" Chenin Blanc, Clarksburg, California
Not familiar with Chenin Blanc? It's a crisp white grape made famous in France's Loire Valley, but in California it shines in the Clarksburg area. This medium-bodied version is dry and delicate.
2004 Leeuwin Estate "Siblings" Shiraz, Margaret River, Australia
Australia's Leeuwin Estate is one of the country's most famous properties. Their elegant, world-class wines hail from the cool Margaret River area of Western Australia. This peppery, stylish Shiraz is a food wine that can go easily with fleshy fish and hearty meat.
2007 Tudal Family Winery "Clift Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley, California
Though Tudal is classic Napa Valley producer founded in 1974, I consider it a hot discovery. The low-key, family-owned winery located at the north end of Napa Valley has been quietly crafting complex wines for decades. Their vinous voice, however, is being heard loudly these days with Cabernet as the megaphone. Structured yet supple, the Clift Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the quality of a wine twice its $40 price. Intense dark-berry fruit flavors are kissed with toasty oak and spice aromas, all wrapped in a plush texture. It's a wine that will get even better after several years in the cellar, but is so delicious now you'll want to uncork and enjoy.

There are already many futuristic hotels being built around the world, but what kind of hotel designs are to be built in the future? Here are just some of the futuristic hotel projects, that are being built very soon. Check them out!
1. The DIAMOND RING HOTEL:
2. The LUNATIC HOTEL:
Dreaming of space? Soon, you'll be able to live on a satellite. The Lunatic Hotel is set to be build on the Moon!! Designers already have the blueprints ready, so the hotel should be completed in 2050. The hotel will include an engine, that will allow guests to "indulge in low-gravity games with the help of two 160-meters high slanting towers." The 50 cm hull made from Moon Rock layered with water will provide the antidote to the ruthless lunar environment, extreme temperatures, lethal cosmic rays and solar particles.
The Waterworld is a concept, designed by Atkin's Architecture Group. It won the first prize award for an international design competition.The Waterworld is to be built at a water filled quarry in Songjiang, China. The resort hotel will contain 400 beds, and will feature underwater guest rooms and public areas, cafes, restaurants and also some sporting facilities. The Extreme sports center for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping, has been also included in the original design.
4.The APEIRON ISLAND HOTEL:
It's to be a 7-star hotel with a total floor area of 200,000m², and it's still in a conceptual stage. It is being designed by Sybarite and it's $500million project. This island hotel will have over 350 luxury apartment suites and will be accessible by water and air only. There will also be beaches, restaurants, art galleries, retail shopping, cinemas, spas and conference facilities for you to enjoy.
5. The HYDROPOLIS UNDERSEA RESORT
The Hydropolis Undersea Resort is a $500-million project designed by Joachim Hauser. It's proclaimed to be a 10-star underwater hotel, located in Dubai. This underwater hotel has been designed with this base that 60% of our surroundings is water. The area offers you a shopping mall, ballroom, island villas, restaurant, high-tech cinema for your pleasure, and also a missile-defense system for your security. The retracting roof is designed to organize open-sky events. We can expect the hotel to open up very soon, but the project has been delayed a little bit.
The hotel is to be facing the Caspian Sea, and it's named Hotel Full Moon. It's designed as a disc with rounded edges and a hole in one of the top corners. And here's also the Hotel Crescent, a curving arch similar to a crescent moon, that will mark out an area appropriately named Full Moon Bay. The design is made in a way to appear drastically different from different viewing angles. Hotel Full Moon will be a 150 meter-high, 35 story luxury hotel with 382 large rooms.
7. The AEROCRAFT: FLYING LUXURY HOTEL OF TOMORROW:
The Aeroscraft model ML866 is to be built by the Worldwide Aeros Corporation, it's to be a planned 400-ton hybrid airship, a scaled-down prototype was made in 2008. The 'Aeroscraft' is designed to carry passengers in its spacious luxury cosmos onboard. The flying hotel hangs in air with 14 million cubic feet of helium and it has an area equal to two football fields. It's powered by huge electric and hydrogen fuel cell powered propellers and six turbofan jet engines. The hotel can accommodate 250 passengers driving them at a speed of 174 miles per hour up to 6, 000 miles.

Chapter 5 : Draco's Secret
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 3
Background: Font color:
I was slowly getting used to having Nate and Draco under the same room. I avoided Nate as much as I could, and spent every second I could with Draco. Things weren't so bad.
I'd even go as far as to say that Nate being here made mine and Draco's relationship even better. I think we trusted eachother so much more now. And I felt so much better now that Draco knew my big secret, and now there was nothing that hanging over our relationship. No more secrets between us.
Now, if I could just get him to start having sex with me again...
"What are you doing?" Draco asked me pulling away.
"What does it look like?" I asked as I continued unbuttoning his shirt and kissing him.
"Aria, everyone is here, we can't." He said.
"But we haven't done it in forever." I complained.
"It's only been a month." He said.
"A long excruciating sexless month." I said dramatically. Then something occured to me. "Do you not want to have sex with me anymore?" I asked quietly.
"What? No! Of course I want to have sex with you!" Draco said.
"Yeah, that's what I want to come in on." Adam said from behind us. "I love hearing guys saying they want to have sex with my sister."
"Er, sorry about that." Draco said buttoning up his shirt. "Didn't mean for that to be heard"
"Oh it's fine." Adam said. "At least I know you're attracted to her."
"At least one of us knows that." I muttered. Draco gave me a pleading look, asking with his eyes if we could discuss the sex issue later. I gave him a slight nod.
"So have you heard there's gonna be some huge announcement at dinner?" Adam asked.
I looked at him surprised. "No." I answered. "What's the announcement?"
He shrugged. "No idea. Apparently, it's a surprise."
I groaned. "Can we stop with all the surprises? The last one was horrible!"
"Oh, yes. So where is Nate?" Draco asked.
As if on cue, Nate came waltzing in my room. "Someone mention my name?" He asked.
"No." I said. I wasn't sure why I was lying.
"Well, I'll stay anyway." He said.
"You stay?" I asked scornfully. "But you're so good at leaving."
Nate merely smirked. "You know, you're so cute when you're mad."
"Oh, shut up!" I snapped.
"And now, you're beautiful." He said.
Draco put his arm around me as though to remind Nate that I was with him. Usually, I would have liked this, but since I'm kind of pissed about the sex situation, I shrugged his arm off. Draco looked slightly hurt at my gesture. I pretended not to notice.
Nate noticed the interaction and smirked slightly, clearly pleased with what just happened.
"So, Nate," Adam said. "Do you know anything about the surprise announcement?"
"Don't you have to have a brain to know things?" Alana said coldly as she came in. What is this? Party in Aria's room? "Because Nate lacks that."
"Oh, Alana, how I've always loved how you say what's on your mind." Nate said sarcastically. "Even when it makes you sound like a chienne." Makes her sound like a bitch. He's such an asshole.
"Stupide trou du cul!" She said. Stupid asshole. I couldn't agree more.
"Soyez gentile." Adam said. Be nice. Now, didn't agree at all with him.
Draco looked extremely confused with the conversation, but I'm sure he gathered that Nate and Alana hate eachother. They always have. The whole Anya thing didn't help matters at all.
"Anyways, before was so rudely interupted." Nate threw Alana a contemptuous look. "I actually do know what the announcement is. Infact I'm announcing it."
Please let him be moving to America or somewhere far away, where I'd never have to see him again...
At the end of dinner, we're all waiting for the announcement when Nate clears his thoat. "I have some news to share. I will no longer be attending Beauxbatons."
Yes, yes, yes!
"This year, I will start at Hogwarts."
What did he say? He couldn't have said... "No!" I whispered.
No one heard me over their exclamations. I glanced at Draco. He looked as though he was going to be sick, which is exactly how I felt at the moment.
That night, I lay in bed not believing what was happening. Nate's parents thought it would be wonderful for him to experience new things, so they switched him to Hogwarts. How is my luck that bad? What did I do to deserve this?
"Does he have to come?" I asked Maman as Draco and I were getting ready to go to Diagon Alley to get our school things. Maman had insisted Nate come with us.
"Yes." She said firmly.
"Just kill me now." I said. But no one heard me.
Before we started shopping, we decided to have a drink at the Leaky Cauldron. At some point, Nate left to go to the bathroom.
"Draco I know this isn't the time and place for this, but we need to talk about this." I started. "Do you not want to have sex with me anymore?"
"I already told you I do want to have sex with you." He whispered.
"You say that, but everytime I try to make love to you, you come up with some excuse not to." I said.
He sighed. "I know. It's just that I don't want us to get caught,and then have your parents think all I want to do is shag you. I want them to know that I both respect and love you." He explained.
That made perfect sense. Infact, it was kind of sweet.
I smiled. "Why didn't you just tell me? I thought you weren't attracted to me anymore."
"Aria, I will always be attracted to you. You can turn me on with any little thing." Draco smiled back.
"Really?" I asked. I ran my fingers through my hair. "Does that turn you on?"
"Yes." He said.
I placed my hand on his knee, and leaned closer. "Does this?" I asked. He just nodded. I kissed him. "How about that."
"Mhmm." He said weakly, kissing me hungrily. His hand slid up my knee, up my thigh, into my dress...
"You do realize you're in a public place, right?" Nate's voice asked. We pulled away. I sure hoped we could continue this later.
Draco and I were standing in front of Quality Quidditch Supplies, looking through the window as we waited for Nate to get fitted for robes.
"You want to know something?" Draco asked.
"What?" I replied.
"I started playing Quidditch to impress you." He reddened slightly.
"What?" I asked slightly shocked.
"I thought you had a crush on Potter, and he played Quidditch, so I thought it might impress you if I started playing too." He explained.
"I'm the reason you play Quidditch?" I asked, feeling slightly.
"Yeah," he shrugged. "But don't worry, I actually like it, so it's not a problem."
"You did get lucky, though." I said smiling. "I do kind of have a thing for Quidditch players."
We laughed just as we heard from behind us. "Oh my gosh, Draco?!"
We turned around to see a pretty blonde girl with light brown eyes. I didn't recognize her at all. "Camille?!" Draco asked.
"It is you!" She exclaimed, going into kiss him, but Draco turned it into a hug the last moment. Who was this girl and why did she think it was okay to kiss my boyfriend?
She looked at me curiously. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" She asked Draco, who seemed to be in a state of shock.
"Um, right, this is actually my girlfriend, Aria. Aria, this is Camille."
"You're Aria?!" She asked before I could say anything. "Wow, I can't believe I get to meet the famous Aria. Draco has mentioned you like a million times." She didn't sound too happy about that I noticed.
"Really?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah." She answered. If she's heard so much about me, why haven't I heard about her?
"So, um how do you know Draco?" I asked in what I hoped was a casual voice. "Are you family, or...?"
Camille laughed. "No, not family, but I almost was once upon a time."
I forced a laugh. "What does that mean exactly?"
She stops laughing and turns to Draco. "She doesn't know?" She asked him.
"No..." Draco answered quietly.
"Know what?" I asked not liking this.
"Well, I'm Draco's ex fiance�."
"Excuse me?!" I asked. "Wha-how?"
"Well, our parents set us up a few years ago. The plan was for us to get married when we turn eighteen. Draco broke it off last year because of well...you." So that explains why she seems to not really like me. But it doesn't explain why Draco kept this from me.
"Wow." I said absorbing this all. I couldn't believe Draco had been engaged. All that time he was chasing after me he was committed to marry someone. And I'm the reason it's over now. How could he not tell me? And here I was feeling guilty about Nate, when Draco was freakin engaged!
"I know it's insane." Camille said. "But at least things worked out. You guys are together."
Draco is being awfully silent, and looks as though he'd rather be anywhere else right now. I just can't believe him.
I don't even notice Nate walk over to us. "Hey, I'm done." He said. He noticed Camille. He turned to me, giving me a strange look. "A friend of yours?" He asked.
"Actually, she's Draco's ex...fiance�." I said.
Draco's POV
This can't be happening. It just can't. There's no way that standing in front of me is my girlfriend, my girlfriend's ex, and my ex fiance�. There's just no way. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't having a nightmare. Unfortunately, I wasn't.
"Excuse me, did you say 'ex fiance�?" Nate asked Aria.
"I sure did." She forces a smile.
There's no mistaking Aria's anger, and Nate's utter glee at this whole situation. I'm suddenly scared that I could lose Aria to him after this. Why did Camille have to be here?!
Camille stuck out her hand. "I'm Camille." She said.
"I'm Nate." Nate said looking all pleased. "I'm Aria's ex. Boyfriend, though. Not fianc�. We weren't engaged at such a young age."
He was really rubbing this in my face. And making matters worse for me and Aria. But I suppose that's what he was trying to do.
"What is the chance you'd be here too?" Camille smiled.
"Um, not slim. I came here with them." Nate answered. "I'm staying with Aria and her family for the summer."
"Interesting." She said looking at me, wondering how I was okay with that.
"I'm staying there too." I said. I was surprised I found my voice again.
"It's an unsual arrangement, but it works out." Aria said, before Camille could comment again.
"Oh." Camille nodded.
I cleared my throat. "So, what brings you here Camille?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm shopping for school supplies." She answered. "You're not going to believe this, but I'm starting at Hogwarts this year."
She's right. I can't believe it. Me, Aria, Nate and Camille at Hogwarts. That's a recipe for disaster, and probably break up.
How did this happen? I never even intended for Aria to ever find out about Camille. I was hoping I could keep it quiet. I had started to feel a little guilty about not telling her, though. I mean, she told me about Nate, and I was still keeping a secret.
That's the reason I'm avoiding having sex with her. I don't feel I deserve to make love to Aria when I'm keeping something for her. It's been so hard to not have sex with her, though. Especially since she's so insistant on doing it. Every night I laid in the same bed as her, and I had to refrain from touching her. It was torture.
But the way things are looking with Aria finding out about Camille, I wouldn't be getting sex anyways. Unfortunately it wasn't going to be my choice.
I looked at Aria. The shock is clear on her face. I can't help but wonder if this is the end...

John knew he was being absolutely rude to this girl, but he couldn't help himself. She didn't want to leave the room before and he soon realized he didn't want her to leave it either. So when he saw that she had left her purse after she had left so violently, he couldn't help but smile as he planned out what he would do next.
Just giving her purse back to her would be no good, he definitely wanted something in return for… reminding her that her purse was still in Tiffany's bright pink and green room.
When she left he immediately rolled off the bed, grabbed her small purse and smiled when he realized it was made out of used Kool-Aid pouches. He watched as she stalked out into the dark night to her bright yellow Jeep Cherokee. His smile grew wider when he saw her turn around and look up at the window as if all of the happiness had been squeezed out of her. He waved the bag a little and started to chuckle as she started to walk back to the house.
Why should he make it so easy for her to come back and grab her purse back? He laughed when he thought of hiding it on the balcony that was near Tiffany's room. Quickly he walked down the hall and placed the bag on the open balcony and went back and flopped onto Tiffany's bed, waiting for the new girl to come back.
"Oh great," the brunette said as she stalked back to the house. She knew this guy was not one she would want to mess with; she knew he would be exactly the same as any other idiot high school guy. She opened the door to the house and tried to quietly close it, but the heavy wooden doors slammed.
"Girrrrrrl!" A drunken voice slurred from the large table of giggling adults. "Yes?" she replied. "Could joooo get me anotherrrr…. Urrrrrrr." The man fell off his chair causing the other adults to burst into even louder fits of giggles. She decided to just go up the stairs and get her purse back.
She climbed the curved stairs and walked down the hallway, stopping just before Tiffany's room. She looked at the obnoxiously pink and green painted door and sighed before grasping the handle and letting herself in.
She mustered all of the anger she dad and barged into the room. "Okay, you are very funny mister; now give me back my purse. I need to get home." She said and gave him the glare she had been practicing in the mirror for pricks like him. Her glare fell when she saw him laughing at her.
"I don't have it." He said, still laughing. Her jaw dropped and she said, "I just saw you holding it," She said and thrust her finger towards the window overlooking the street, "In that window." He had stopped laughing and had sat up from the bed on which he had been lying on, "You know, alcohol isn't that great for you, you shouldn't have had anything to drink. Even if I had your purse, I couldn't allow you to go out in a state like this, Erin."
If her mouth could have dropped any farther, she might have lost it, but thankfully it did not. She knew how he had found out her name, he had been snooping.
"Let's get this right the first time, because I am not about to repeat myself." He stood up, walked over to her, and stopped right in front of her. "I'm listening," He said, towering over her.
"Number one, you crossed a line at implying that you know me, for your information I have never ever touched a drink in my entire existence on this Earth! Number two, you had absolutely no right to sift through my purse! Number three, I just want to leave this crappy party and go home, so if you would please return my purse, it would be greatly appreciated."
She let go of a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding when he said, "Okay then, have it your way, follow me." Then he turned and walked out of the still open door and down another hallway. She followed him reluctantly, yet obediently.
John felt like cheering, although this girl, Erin, thought he was simply going to lead her to her purse, he knew he was going to get something in return for giving her the purse back.
He reached the launder room door and quickly opened it. "It's in the very back, the room isn't very big, so I figure I would let you go first." Erin gave him a wary glance with her ice blue eyes that told him she wasn't appreciative about this. "Hey, trust me; like I said before, I don't bite."
She rolled her eyes and slowly walked into the room, looking for the light switch. John took his chance and snuck into the room, closing the door behind him. He was momentarily blinded by the sudden presence of light in the small obnoxiously painted yellow room. He saw she did not yet realize that he had come in the room with her; she was too busy looking for her purse.
He almost wanted to chuckle when she found it and squeezed her body through the space between the wall and the rather tall dryer.
She had made her way between the small space of the dryer and the wall to her purse, when she turned around and saw John was blocking her only way out of her small prison between the wall and ridiculously tall dryer.

Andrew Couts: Like … whoa … man …
The Internet has become a vital tool in nearly everything we do, from our work to keeping up with friends. And this will only become more true as connectivity spreads further, into all aspects of life. Despite its promises of better productivity, however, the Web's greatest feature is still its ability to waste time in fantastic ways. Take his incredible whirling doohicky from Web developer Jack Rugile, for example. Or perhaps this mind-melting, mouse-controlled exploding pixel thing is more up your alley. Or the insane Whitney Music Box sound vortex manipulator (I'd turn your sound down before clicking that last one). The point is, once your'e finished updating that Google Doc, adding some to-do reminders to Evernote, and sending out birthday wishes on Facebook, make sure to take a bit of downtime to explore the utterly useless, but totally awesome, time-wasters the Web still has to offer.
Natt Garun: What are you, Japan World Cup 3?!
I don't know how to describe the video, other than to ask: What is this game, where can I get it, and how can I replace my blood with it? Known simply as Japan World Cup 3, the bizarre horse simulation game makes the oddest Japanese thing you've ever seen seem like wholesome Americana. Just when you think you have a handle on what's happening here, something pops up like a … actually, I won't ruin it for you. Just know it will blow your damn mind.
I'm obsessed with finding more JWC3 videos on YouTube because they're all so unexpected and provide the absolute lols. Watch, laugh, share, and be merry. It might be the last time you'll smile before Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping duties take over your life.
Molly McHugh: The best movie opening this week is not Skyfall
I'm beginning to realize that my Staff Picks are generally Star Wars or sports related – and I refuse to branch out or apologize for it. This week, I have to give some love to the documentary The Other Dream Team. The film is about the 1992 Lithuanian Olympic basketball team, which represented a country recently freed by the fall of the Soviet Union and – like every other team in that Olympics – was overshadowed by The Dream Team. That would be the one we put together the first time we had active NBA players in the Olympics; the one with, oh, I don't know, Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, and Larry Bird. NBD.
Lithuanian athletes dealt with years of oppression and terrible treatment at the hands of their governments, and this basketball team became a symbol of democracy – plus, they got a sweet in with the Grateful Dead, who helped fund and outfit the team.
Of course, the fact the Portland's beloved Sabonis is featured doesn't hurt. He's not your 'Vydas, or my 'Vydas – he's Arvydas. The film opens this weekend in Portland and you best believe I've already got my ticket.
Caleb Denison: How to get fired right before the holidays
Whether it's legit or not, this video is almost sure to become a PR nightmare for Walmart – and at the worst possible time. The clip shows what are meant to be three employees of a Walmart in Pikeville, Kentucky launching iPads across the stockroom and intentionally bashing them on the floor (warning: NSFW due to language). It's difficult to tell whether or not the boxes actually contain iPads, but if they do, you can be sure they aren't happy iPads anymore.
Walmart isn't going to be happy either. The company would be insane not to respond in some way to the suggestion that this takes place in its stores. And since one of its hottest Black Friday deals is a 16GB Apple iPad2 with WiFi and a $75 Walmart gift card for $399, it's going to need do some damage control. Brilliantly, the tablet-chucking geniuses included their faces in the video; if these guys actually did work at Walmart, they don't anymore.
Jeff Van Camp: Super zombie stacker: The Movie
This weekend, a friend and I are huddled up to take on legions of the undead in Resident Evil 6. It's a tough job, but the world needs us. How fitting that the coolest zombie trailer on record just hit the Web. Remember those slow Dawn of the Dead zombies? What about the running 28 Days Later zombies or the athletic CGI zombies in I Am Legend? Well, I'm here to tell you that you haven't seen anything until you've witnessed the newest undead innovation: super stackable zombies! World War Z looks to do to zombies what the Megazord did to the Power Rangers: kick things up a notch. It's zombies meets Jenga. Add in Brad Pitt and $125 million in computer generated rag-doll physics and you're in for a ride. Check it out.

Brady powers through Maywood, Med. Valley
The Brady volleyball team hosted a triangular with Maywood and Medicine Valley Oct. 8.
The Eagles beat Maywood in straight sets 25-16, 25-12.
Head coach Lynne Johnson said the girls knew what to expect in the matches because they had already played both teams this season.
"Those were harder matches to get excited for," Johnson said. "We had an opportunity to get some younger girls in those games."
Madison Elliott led the Eagles with eight kills followed by Valerie Most and Tara Callahan with four each.
Alexis Franzen had three kills in the match while three players had one apiece.
Sydney Widick was 14-14 on set attempts with 11 assists in the match.
Brady finished the triangular with a win over Medicine Valley, also in straight sets, 25-18 and 25-10.
The Eagles sat and watched Medicine Valley take on Maywood and that break may have forced them to start slow in the first set, Johnson said.
Brady responded in dominant fashion in the second set, taking it to the Raiders, 25-10 to end the match.
Callahan collected six kills while Most had five and Josie Palmer four.
Franzen and Autumn Hild had three kills each.

Here's all you need to know about the Audi Q3.
The new Audi Q3 is a premium SUV in a compact form. This genuine Audi sets standards in all aspects of engineering from its body through drivetrains and chassis to its state-of-the-art assistance systems and multimedia systems. The Audi Q3 is a versatile companion for everyday life with an urbane character.
The design of the Q3 is classic Audi: its coupe-like styling is one-of-a-kind among SUVs and symbolizes its sporty identity. Distinctive lights add a striking touch and the very flat-set rear window emphasize the sporty nature of the Audi Q3.
Thanks to systematic lightweight design, the basic version of the Audi Q3 weighs less than 1,500 kilograms (3,307 lb). Its engine hood and wraparound tailgate, which houses the taillights, are made of aluminum; the safe and solid passenger compartment features a great many ultra-high-strength steels. Its low drag coefficient of just 0.32 also enhances fuel efficiency considerably.
The interior of Audis latest model is very roomy; its ergonomics and its workmanship are exemplary. Just as for the exterior, customers have many opportunities to express their very own style in the interior: Audi offers a wide selection of materials and colors. The luggage compartment offers 460 to 1,365 liters (16.24 to 48.2 cu ft) of capacity ideal for sports and leisure.
Customers can opt to supplement the standard specification with numerous options straight from the luxury class. Examples include adaptive light technology for the xenon plus headlights, which ideally illuminates the road ahead even around corners. And an enhanced parking assistant alerts the driver to obstacles, even if they are off to the side.
Furthermore, Audi offers an entire set of infotainment components, spearheaded by the large MMI navigation plus a hard drive navigation system and the Bose surround sound system, with handsomely illuminated woofers up front. In the near future, an online Bluetooth car phone will follow, paired with a WLAN hotspot to provide the Q3 with full Internet connectivity.
