Audi is a latecomer to the luxury crossover game, but the company's engineering and product planning staffs seem to have used their late arrival to good advantage. The second of Audi's three crossover SUV offerings, the Q5 was introduced for the 2009 model year, and has been a popular player amid a steadily growing group dominated by German makes, in particular the BMW X3.
Classified as a compact SUV, the Audi Q5 structure is consistent with contemporary crossover engineering, a unitbody incorporating the frame rails within the body shell. This approach keeps curb weight down while simultaneously yielding higher structural rigidity, which pays dividends in fuel economy and handling response. The old body-on-frame tradition is a better bet for durability in rugged off-road use, but like its contemporaries the Q5 isn't likely to see anything more challenging than a gravel road.
Like the BMW X3, the Audi Q5 offers two rows of seats, and is rated for five passengers. The reality is that four of those passengers will ride in comfort, while the fifth, in the rear center position, will be unhappy. This isn't limited to the Q5; it applies to all the entries in this segment: BMW X3, INFINITI FX, Lincoln MKX, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Range Rover Evoque, Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC 60, and the Acura RDX.
The similarities between BMW X3 and Audi Q5 don't end with seating. The dimensions of the two vehicles are essentially identical, as are their cargo capacities, and pricing structures. We suspect this is not coincidence.
All the vehicles competing in this segment offer all-wheel drive, but for several it's an optional feature. It's standard equipment with the Audi Q5, regardless of engine choice.
There are two of the latter. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder became the standard engine in 2011, and the formerly standard 3.2-liter naturally aspirated V6 is now available as an upgrade option. The 2.0-liter turbo is ubiquitous in Volkswagen/Audi vehicles, a durable engine with years of development on its resume. Now with direct fuel injection, it's rated for 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque in this application.
The V6 raises the horsepower ante to 270 hp, although its torque rating (243 pound-feet) is a bit lower than that of the turbo four, it adds substantially to vehicle mass (about 250 pounds), and the extra power output comes at the expense of fuel economy. The turbocharged four is EPA-rated at 20/27 mpg City/Highway, whereas ratings fall to 18/23 mpg for the V6.
The 2.0-liter engine is paired with Audi's new 8-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, while the V6 delivers power via an older 6-speed automatic.
Audi wants us to perceive the Q5 as the sportiest entry in its segment, which is a bit of a tough sell as far as power is concerned, since the BMW X3's optional 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine delivers 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
Audi Q5 comes in two versions based on powertrains: the Q5 2.0T with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the Q5 3.2 with a V6. Standard Audi Q5 features include leather upholstery, three-zone automatic climate control, wood trim, AM/FM/CD sound system with satellite radio, 40/20/40 rear seating with fore-aft and seatback adjustability, a driver information system and trip computer, cruise control.
Audi Q5 2.0T Premium ($35,600) includes 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, electronic stability control, ABS with electronic brake force distribution, front seat-mounted side airbags, rear seat side airbags, and front and rear curtain airbags. Premium Plus ($4,300) adds a power sunroof, heated front seats with driver pre-set memory, a power rear hatch, auto-dimming and power folding side mirrors, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity. Options include the Audi MMI Navigation-plus Package ($3000), which includes navigation with voice command, color info screen, CD/DVD/HD radio, front and rear parking sensors; a 14-speaker, 505-watt Bang & Olufsen premium audio ($850); and 19-inch alloy wheels ($800).
Audi Q5 3.2 ($43,000) includes the 19-inch wheels, heated seats, heated seats, upgraded audio, sunroof, and a power tailgate. An optional luxury package ($2300) includes leather upper dashboard and armrests, perforated Milano leather upholstery, ventilated seats; S Line trim ($1500) includes 255/45 performance tires, 3-spoke leather steering wheel with shift paddles, brushed aluminum interior trim, black cloth headliner, while S Line plus ($500) upgrades further with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, black exterior accents. Audi Q Drive ($2950) features driver adjustable suspension, adaptable engine and transmission mapping, sport-adaptable steering program. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, which do not include $875 destination charge and may change at any time without notice.)
Safety features standard on all Q5 models include dual stage front airbags, front side airbags, side curtain airbags, rear seat LATCH child seat anchors, front seat belts with automatic tensioning system, electronic stability control, traction control, ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, tire-pressure monitoring system, and quattro all-wheel drive. Optional safety features include rear-seat side-impact airbags, blind zone proximity warning, rearview camera.
The Audi Q5 looks sporty, with a wide stance and tightly wrapped sheetmetal that gives it a lean, action-ready look.
Although Audi's trademark LED accents have been adopted by a number of carmakers, there's no mistaking the big Audi grille for anything else, and a relatively low roofline, plus short front and rear overhangs, contribute to a visual persona that's more sport wagon than sport-utility.
Ground clearance is a factor in this as well. There's enough of it, 7.9 inches, to give drivers confidence on dirt road treks to summer cabins, but this dimension is at the low end of the scale for the class, which can be viewed as a plus in terms of dynamics, since it keeps the Q5's center of gravity a little closer to mother earth.
Inside, the Audi Q5 is a blend of comfort and tasteful style. Audi has established itself as a pace-setter in terms of interior design, and the Q5 is consistent with this tradition. The basic color scheme is black with wood and aluminum trim highlights. The bucket front seats aren't quite as sporty as those in the X3, but lateral support is respectable, power adjustability will satisfy a broad range of body types and driving positions, and the comfort quotient is high.
Cargo capacity is competitive in the context of this class, 29 cubic feet behind the rear seats, just over 57 with the rear seats folded forward. The fold-forward function can be achieved with a single touch, a unique and handy feature that would be even better if the seats folded completely flat.
As vehicles in this class go, the Audi has the look of an athlete, and its outstanding chassis rigidity, firm suspension tuning, excellent path accuracy, brisk responses, and powerful braking system deliver on the implied promise of the styling.
The steering is exceptionally tactile and linear, and the agility index is above average in a class with steadily escalating handling standards. Braking performance is smooth and strong, with firm pedal feel, good stopping distances, and no hint of fade in hard use.
Audi's 3.2 V6 delivers respectable punch, propelling this two-tonner to 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 130 mph.
The 6-speed automatic is about average in terms of shift response time and smooth operation, although it's upstaged by the new 8-speed automatic in the 2.0 T. Still, the 3.2 has a high fun-to-drive index for a vehicle in this class, as well as all-day comfort, with a couple minor asterisks. For one, the suspension tuning can be a bit stiff on choppy pavement or washboard dirt roads, although the Audi Drive Select option can mitigate this phenomenon. In the same vein, a fair amount of noise can find its way into the cabin via the suspension on nasty surfaces, although the Q5 is otherwise a quiet operator.
The Audi Q5 looks good, is quick on its feet, and provides a level of sporty luxury that's at the leading edge for its class. It's a vehicle that's likely to make its owner happy day in, day out, long hauls or short. The Q5 3.2 is considerably more expensive than the Q5 2.0T, and doesn't really deliver a big edge in performance. Also, the 2.0T's lower curb weight pays off in livelier responses and better fuel economy. More power is always attractive in a hefty vehicle, but it doesn't always justify the added expense.
Tony Swan filed this NewCarTestDrive.com report after his test drive of the Audi Q5 near Detroit.

i will take international cricket 100 times over IPL..
No mater how much they try to be competative.. in my opinion IPL could never ever be as competative as
I haven't watched a full game in the WC yet except for the Eng vs Ind which was like a knock out game for Ind .... on the other hand, I tried to watch as many games I could in IPL
Fastest gun in town
the champions league will change everyones opinion, in the end. because that'll make the tournments to compete in that league, more interesting so the epl,ipl and the soon to be launch spl will take on a whole new compitative challenge never seen before in cricket at a fanchise/domestic level...
I enjoyed both the IPL's a lot more than the T20 WC, and the reason behind is it simple, IPL is not just about cricket, its a complete entertainment package, as there is so much else going on beyond cricket, its also fun to follow your favorite cricketers from the past and see them doing well, having said that the level of cricket that has been played in both the IPL's have been top notch, and eventually that has been the prime reason, why IPL has been such big success.
Of course one also feels more involved in the IPL, if you follow one of the teams passionately, and its no surprise that my interest in the IPL season 2 diminished the moment the Royals were knocked out.
To me it is IPL. I enjoyed it much more. Not sure exactly why. I was just totally engrossed even though I'm not an Indian and did not support any of the IPL teams. I'm also enjoying T20 WC but not as much. May be after one month of IPL I got little jaded with T20.
And it's not that long since Pakistan played tests, and it's not long until they will do so again, anyway. Though yes, it would be better if they played more.
For me, IPL is going a bit like the Premiership football, and the WC like the world cup. IPL is about how much money you have, and includes absolutely loads of posturing and oneupmanship. The world cup is about talent and is more about the actual play.
We miss you, Fardin. :(. RIP.

For me there's no comparison. I found the IPL extremely dull this time round. I didn't expect it to make any difference, but the tactical break made it all but unwatchable for me. Difficult to care about any of the teams too. Even putting Ireland aside, it's much easier to identify with countries, especially if you know a lot of people from them. CW is a lot better too because nearly everyone has a team.
That's before even getting on to the actual content. The cricket itself has been a lot more entertaining IMO.

J, you will need to wait until 10 is available on Windows. We are not going to upgrade the emulator version for the BasiliskII emulator. It's quite amazing that we have been able to keep Accordance compatible with Mac 7.5 (an 18 year old system) through version 9, but we had to stop at some point. You will get the free upgrade to 10, sometime in 2013, or earlier if you buy a Mac. Then you will use Easy Install to download everything.

Liberty University DI men rout Mountaineers in road opener
January 18, 2013 | Charleston, W.Va.
Playing without head coach Kirk Handy, whose wife Jannie delivered the couple's fourth child, Porter, on Thursday, Liberty University's Division I men's hockey team pulled together for a 6-1 triumph over West Virginia at the South Charleston Memorial Ice Rink.
Senior forward Brent Boschman netted the first two goals for the Flames (17-9-2), midway through the first period off assists from Rick Turner and Luke Baumgarten, and then again 30 seconds into the second period set up by Baumgarten and Matt Sherry.
Cam Bakker scored a short-handed goal on a two-on-one break as Liberty seized a commanding 3-0 advantage with 9:40 left in the second period.
"He snuck in and put it top shelf, where Grandma keeps the chocolate chip cookies," Flames assistant coach Jeff Boettger said.
Christian Garland made it 4-0 with just under 4:00 left in the second period off nice puck movement on the offensive end.
"We had a great cycle in the corner and he got the puck off of a wall play and he stuck it in five-hole," Boettger said. "That was nice."
The Mountaineers (6-13) tallied their only goal 20 seconds later before Ryley Egan and Scott Morongell converted the only two goals of the third period in the final five minutes of the contest.
"It was an interesting game," Boettger said. "The first two periods, we played well for about 13-16 minutes, then it was like we were running around in circles. The last five minutes, we got to scrambling. Other than those 10 minutes, we played a pretty solid team game, especially in the third period, when we kept it simple."
Overall, Boettger was pleased with the Flames' performance.
"It was decent," he said. "There's some D-zone coverage refinements we definitely have to make yet, but I like the fact that different guys are contributing and we're asking players to play different roles."
With Lindsay LeBlanc out sick and Kyle Garcia sidelined by a disqualification, Boettger moved Andrew McCombe to the middle and put Paul Ingles on the right wing and Egan on the left and they worked well together.
"Everybody responded well," he said. "It's a great testament to the depth that we have and that the guys can accept new roles."
The Flames saved their best for last, and stayed out of the penalty box for most of the night.
"Patience showed for us in the third period, when we played much more solid … with patience and persistence," Boettger said. "Our discipline was good tonight. It was one of our better discipline games."
Liberty outshot West Virginia 48-29 and Blair Bennett made 28 saves in goal for the Flames, who will start Clayton Brown in the cage Saturday night.
The puck drops at 5:30 p.m. for the second game of the series in South Charleston before the Flames return to Liberty's LaHaye Ice Center for a 4 p.m. game Sunday against in-state rival Virginia Tech.

Son's Struggles Ignite Father's Passion
By Robert Schroeder
NLU Alumni Magazine
In 1991, Philip Gattone's life hit a crossroads when his 4-year-old son was diagnosed with epilepsy. Gattone and his wife, Jill, enjoying successful business careers, made the decision to exit the corporate world and devote their working lives to securing resources and opportunities for Americans with epilepsy.
That exit took the Gattones through National Louis University, where the two built their social service credentials as Phil earned a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction and Jill earned a Master of Adult Education in Adult Developmental Studies. The two walked across the stage at the 2000 Commencement one after the other.
Today, Philip, 49, is the CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation of America (EFA), a national volunteer agency dedicated to promoting the welfare of the nearly 3 million Americans with epilepsy and their families. As CEO, he is leading the merger of two of the nation's major epilepsy awareness organizations, as EFA merges with the Epilepsy Therapy Project.
"When our son began having seizures and [my wife and I] started going down this road, trying to find care for him, we both recognized how precious life is, how short life is, and we decided we wanted to spend our lives really doing something that mattered," Philip said.
EFA focuses on education efforts to reduce the sense of stigma that surround epilepsy, runs a "Managing Seizures in the Classroom" program and works to ease access to employment for adults with epilepsy. Crucially, the organization funds medical procedures that lessen or eliminate the risk of seizures for some people with epilepsy. EFA is also working with partner organizations to bring new therapies to the forefont and in 2013 will be part of the roll-out of three new therapies.
"When you see a young man who is seizure free and has been for quite some time, able to move on with his life as a direct result of finding good care and aligning with a program and a foundation, that's probably the most fun part of my job, seeing how when life is tough and this foundation intervenes, life can be better," Philip said.

Pamper yourself with vegan skin care from Lather
Lather has a line of luxurious top-quality skin care products that are paraben-free, sulfate-free and cruelty-free. Not all of Lather's products are vegan so just make sure to read the ingredients beforehand (available on their website). All the products featured on VBR are vegan. 🙂 And if you live in the LA area, feel free to stop by their storefront located in Pasadena. They also have locations in Scottsdale, AZ and Atlanta, GA. Here are a few of my Lather favs…
Cucumber Wasabi Hand Wash ($12): Whaaaa? Did that say wasabi? Hells yeah. It turns out, wasabi has mad antiseptic properties and has a high concentration of potassium, calcium, Vitamin C and phytochemicals. That, combined with cucumber's cooling properties = a non-drying, mild cleanser that is bound to make your bathroom guests feel special. I love the scent of anything cucumber. It smells so fresh and clean – it clears my head. I'm a huge fan of this hand wash. If you're nuts over wasabi, you might want to try their Lemongrass Wasabi hand wash as well. I've yet to try it but I'm sure it's equally fabu.
Bamboo Lemongrass Body Creme ($22): This super emollient and rich body cream is non-greasy and quickly absorbs into the skin. It perfectly complements Lather's Bamboo Lemongrass Foaming Body Scrub (which we're giving away on VBR – don't forget to enter for your chance to win it). It contains bamboo extract, aloe vera, vegetable glycerin, shea butter, jojoba and sweet almond oils, Vitamins A. C & E and precious essential oils. This body creme is the perfect remedy for thirsty skin. This will leave your skin ultra soft and delicate smelling.
Swiss Apple Wrinkle Remedy ($62): You've heard an apple a day keeps the doctor away but did you know it can keep the plastic surgeon away too? 😉 This unique wrinkle remedy is formulated with stem cells from the rare Swiss apple Uttwiler Spatlauber which is rich in phyto-nutrients, proteins and long-living cells. This formula incorporates niacinamide which stimulates microcirculaion and ups the production of ceramides (basically the glue that holds cells together). This combined with hyaluronic acid and phospholipids (which replenish the moisture barrier and plump fine lines) will help knock off some years so you can stay 21 forever. 😉 Although wrinkle treatments aren't magical, you will notice your skin's tone and texture improving and those fine lines will get a little finer. Every bit helps.

Thanks for the info. You also totally remember the negs as well. The best anti aging creams also contains some negatives. This product may cause allergic reactions and some rashes on the skin when sensitive skin people use it. So, the best way to know the compatibility to your skin is to apply this cream on the area which is not exposed and check for any allergic reactions. If no reaction occurs you can use this product on your face without any hesitation.
Lemongrass anything is my absolute FAVORITE scent!!!
Thanks for the tip:)

Delicious Lower-Calorie Cheese Recipes
Love cheese? Cut fat and calories and keep the flavor
Photo by Michael Grayson/Flickr/Getty Images
I grew up mostly eating one kind of cheese. Hoop cheese, they called it; a tangy farmer-style cheese unique to the South. There must have been mozzarella, though I distinctly remember our lasagna recipe calling for cottage cheese as ricotta had yet to make its debut. Parmesan came in foil green cans.
It's not that simple anymore. These days picking the right cheese can be as dizzying as choosing a new paint color. Do you prefer shredded, sliced, crumbled or a chunk? Imported or domestic? Like many of us counting calories and watching our intake of saturated fat, do you want regular or low-fat? There's 50 percent and 75 percent reduced fat cheeses to consider, along with no-fat options as well. For tub cheeses like ricotta and cottage, there's regular, part-skim and fat-free.
To find out what style of cheese offered the best flavor with the fewest calories, I headed for the cheese aisle, and filled my cart. For my tastings, I picked cheddar, the most widely available cheese with the most options.
Factory-shredded cheeses
In general, this category sacrifices flavor for convenience, and the lower the fat, the less satisfying. Full-fat shredded cheddar (110 calories per ounce) melts in the mouth while fat free (at 45 calories per ounce) — hard, odorless and flavorless — just sits on the tongue. Reduced-fat shredded cheddar (80 calories per ounce) naturally falls in between and is a good compromise when every calorie counts.
Factory-sliced cheeses
As a category, these are more flavorful than factory-shredded, but they share the same textural qualities. Full-fat slices (80 calories per ounce) melted slightly better than reduced-fat (60 calories per ounce). Pre-sliced cheeses are ideal for sandwiches.
However, it's worth noting that fat-free sharp cheddar slices are an entirely different breed. Described on the packaging as "nonfat pasteurized prepared cheese product," its calorie count (45 per ounce) is the only thing going for it. Limp and rubbery in its raw state, gluey when melted, this artificial product's ingredient list is well over 20 items long.
Block cheese
For grating and eating, I find block cheese preferable. It's the most flavorful of the styles. It also comes in several varieties — regular, low-fat, 50 percent and 75 percent reduced fat. As with shredded and sliced, the higher the fat, the better the flavor and texture.
Next: Which cheese to choose? And 3 healthier cheese recipes. »
Which cheese to choose?
Bottom line: as a food lover who watches (not obsesses) about her calorie intake, I tend to use smaller quantities of regular or low-fat cheese and heighten flavor with cheese naturally lower in calories. My favorites include:
- Parmesan
- goat
- feta
- buttermilk blue
If you're looking to moisten cheese-laden dishes like macaroni and cheese, or pizza, avoid bulking up with large quantities of grated full-fat cheese or rich sauces. Rather, supplement with low-fat fresh cheeses and dairy like:
- Greek yogurt
- cottage cheese
- ricotta
The three recipes that follow exemplify this approach and prove that it is possible to savor great-tasting cheese dishes without running up the calorie count.
The Three Grilled Cheese
Serves 2
A single slice of cheese — particularly the reduced-fat variety — just isn't enough to make a good grilled cheese. Instead of adding another slice of mild cheese, heighten flavor by sprinkling on naturally low-fat feta, goat, or buttermilk blue. Press a little naturally low-fat shredded Parmesan into the buttered bread slices for even more flavor and great crunch.
- 4 slices good quality white bread
- 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 ounces reduced-fat medium-sharp cheddar cheese slice
- 2 ounces crumbled goat, feta or buttermilk blue cheese
Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Spread butter over one side of each of the bread slices. Evenly sprinkle two of the slices with Parmesan cheese, pressing it into the butter to stick. Place the two cheese-coated bread slices, Parmesan-side down in the skillet. Lay a cheese slice over each bread slice and evenly sprinkle on your choice of crumbled cheese. Top each with remaining bread slice, Parmesan cheese side up. Grill until golden brown on bottom side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn sandwiches and continue to grill until golden brown on remaining side, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Halve each sandwich and serve.
A Better-for-You Mac & Cheese
As with the Three Grilled Cheese, I use a little low-fat sharp cheddar for cheesiness, but I heighten flavor with an equal amount of naturally low-fat goat, feta or blue. Instead of sour cream or a rich white sauce I keep macaroni moist with good-for-you low-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt.
Makes a 13- by 9-inch pan, serving 12
- Salt
- 1 pound (16 ounces) pasta shells or macaroni
- 8 ounces reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 8 ounces crumbled goat, feta or buttermilk blue cheese
- 1 container (16 ounces) low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 container (16 ounces) Greek yogurt
- Ground black pepper
- 2 cups fresh bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 2 quarts of salted water to boil in a large soup kettle over high heat. Using package directions as a guide, and stirring frequently at first to keep it from sticking, boil pasta, partially covered, until just tender. Drain.
Meanwhile, mix cheeses and yogurt in a large bowl. Add hot pasta; toss to coat. Adjust seasonings, including pepper. Turn in to a vegetable spray-coated 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
Mix breadcrumbs, parsley and butter. Sprinkle evenly over shells and cheese. Bake until casserole is bubbly and crumbs are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve.
Tomato-Basil-Mozzarella Pizza
Serves 4
Rather than sprinkle the pizza with lots of grated mozzarella, I spread a little garlic-flavored ricotta over the dough before adding the tomatoes, keeping the pizza moist and flavorful. Sprinkling the mozzarella over the pizzas near the end of baking keeps the cheese moist and gooey.
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- Cornmeal for sprinkling on baking sheet
- 3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 medium tomatoes, sliced thin and lightly salted
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 ounces grated part-skim mozzarella
Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 500 degrees. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces and stretch each quarter into an approximate 12-inch by 4-inch rectangle, laying all 4 crosswise on a large cornmeal-coated baking sheet.
Mix ricotta, milk and garlic in a small bowl; spread a portion of ricotta over each piece of dough and then top with tomatoes. Bake until pizzas are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, toss basil with olive oil. Sprinkle pizzas with a portion of cheese and basil. Return to oven and continue to bake until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes longer. Top bake until pizzas are crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven, cut into portions and serve.

Back to Basics
When it comes to landscaping equipment, few machines have a more demanding life than the tractor loader backhoe. Regardless of the application — anything from digging to hauling rocks around a job site — they are expected to work long days in very tough terrain and extreme temperatures. While the demands placed on these machines make breakdowns inevitable, knowing how to properly check a tractor loader backhoe (TLB) for problems, and knowing how to address these problems, can drastically decrease the time and money spent on TLB repairs.
Perhaps the best way to reduce repairs is to prevent them by implementing and following a regularly scheduled maintenance routine. Because all TLBs come with a variety of different components, a one-size-fits-all maintenance schedule will not work for TLBs. For example, some units are designed with a gasoline engine while others are powered by a diesel engine. Obviously, properly maintaining the diesel unit would require different steps than maintaining a gasoline-powered machine.
With several small differences affecting how each TLB is cared for, you should consult the owner's manual to develop a maintenance regimen that is most effective for your specific model. The owner's manual will list the machine's maintenance needs, including how often you should check, clean and replace various items.
Regardless of the type of TLB, one of the most important things a mechanic, owner or operator can do to prevent large problems is to be aware of how the machine works. An individual who is knowledgeable about how a machine operates will be able to detect problems before they erupt into more extensive and expensive issues.
Hydraulic hoses are among the items that most manufacturers suggest to periodically check. As the machine ages, hoses can degrade or become damaged. When inspecting the machine before or after each use, the mechanic or operator should look for leaks or visible damage and immediately replace any hose that shows signs of wear.
TLB manufacturers usually suggest that you also check the condition of the cooling and fuel system daily for leaks. If you find any leaks, determine the source of the leak and make the necessary adjustment to stop the leak before it gets worse or replace it. Additionally, if any of the fluid levels, such as engine and hydraulic oil, are low, add fluids to meet the specifications outlined in the owner's manual. Investigate further to determine why the levels are low. When fluid levels decrease, the substances have to escape somewhere. Most often the culprit is a damaged or loose component that is leaking.
Any visible signs of damage on the exterior of the TLB are additional indications that you or a mechanic should look further for potential problems. This is particularly important when different crewmembers use the same machine, and one may not know exactly what has happened to the machine while it was on another job. Damage on the outside of the machine is often a sign that an operator hit something. The individual inspecting the machine should check for any damage to internal components that may have resulted from the force of the collision and make the appropriate repairs or before it gets worse.
In addition to being aware of unusual circumstances while performing daily checks of the machine, it is also important that operators are able to detect any sounds, smells or visual signs that are out of the ordinary and may indicate a problem when running a TLB.
Some of the most common indications of trouble include squealing belts, smoke, performance loss and uncommon engine noises such as knocking sounds. If any of these occur while operating a machine, stop the machine and find the cause of the unusual behavior as soon as possible. Quickly addressing the issue prevents larger problems that may take more time and money to fix.
After an operator or mechanic discovers a problem, appropriately addressing it is the next step in keeping the problem from becoming more severe. While operators and general mechanics can repair and replace the majority of parts, issues that involve opening components such as engines or hydraulic motors will most likely require the help of a dealer or manufacturer.
Regardless of what maintenance or repair is required, the most important thing to consider when working on a TLB is operator safety. Using common sense and reading all of the safety warnings in the owner's manual and on machine decals are the easiest ways to ensure that all safety measures are taken.
One special consideration that mechanics need to take when working with a TLB is making sure that all attachments are lowered to the ground and the hydraulic pressure is relieved before beginning maintenance. If the loader, backhoe or other attachment is not lowered and a mechanic removes a hose from the hydraulic system, the attachment can drop to the ground and hydraulic oil will spill out of the hose. This occurrence can cause considerable damage to the machine, the maintenance area and the mechanic or other individuals near the machine.
Making sure that bare skin does not come in contract with high-pressure hydraulic leaks is something else you should consider when working on TLBs. If a mechanic or operator checks for a pinhole leak in the hydraulic system with bare skin, the high level of pressure can inject the oil into the skin, causing injury. Always wear hand and eye protection when checking for hydraulic leaks.
Although manufacturers continue to introduce TLBs with components designed to decrease maintenance intervals and increase equipment durability, appropriate maintenance is still the key to keeping a machine running at top performance levels for several years. Even the best TLB can be destroyed in a short period of time if it is not properly cared for. Implementing a maintenance routine and educating mechanics and operators about a TLB will increase the life and performance of the machine to ensure that you get the most out of your TLB investment.
Doug Dahlgren is a product manager for Allmand Bros. Inc. (Holdrege, Neb.).
So what are the daily maintenance checks you should be performing on a TLB before or after each use? A machine's manual will typically include a schedule of maintenance checkpoints and when you should check them, but here's an example of a daily, or 8-hour, maintenance checklist as suggested by the manufacturer of a diesel TLB:
- Check engine oil level, fill if needed
- Check battery electrolyte level
- Check fan belt for tightness
- Check oil cooler fins, clean as necessary
- Check radiator hoses and clamps for leaks
- Check fuel lines for leaks
- Check electrical wiring for damaged or loose connections
- Check tie-rod ends for wear/tightness
- Tighten lug nuts to 80 feet per pounds
- Check hydraulic oil level, fill if necessary
- Check backhoe bucket teeth, replace if necessary
- Grease all swivel points (loader and backhoe)
- Check hydraulic hoses for damage and loose connections
Now, do manufacturers expect machine mechanics or operators to conduct all of these checks before and after each use? The simple answer is "no." But what manufacturers are trying to do with such substantial daily checklists is remind people what areas need monitoring on a regular basis.
A manufacturer expects that mechanics or operators will do a thorough walk around their machines before and after each use looking for telltale signs of maintenance needs, such as leaks, loose components, etc. And the provided checklist lets them know the most important areas to keep in mind during these daily walkthroughs.

Claire Danes may spend her days crying on the Homeland set, but the Emmy-winning actress has no problems leaving her character's problems behind thanks to her son Cyrus Michael Christopher.
"The material is very dark and it is so nice to come home and be jarred out of that state by this buoyant butterball – this bundle of love," Danes, 34, told reporters Monday at Showtime's Summer Television Critics Association tour in Beverly Hills.
"I have this beautiful little boy to just kind of go 'bing' and just erase it all very quickly."
Danes and husband Hugh Dancy welcomed baby Cyrus in December. And despite telling Elle she "would make a lousy stay-at-home mom," the actress now confesses she was nervous to return to work earlier this year for her hit show's third season.
"I was anxious about returning. I was so in my cozy mommy bubble and I had all sorts of exaggerated fears," she says. "But it has been great."
After she wraps the current season of Homeland, Danes says she will join her husband in Toronto where he is filming his NBC drama Hannibal.
"It will be my turn to be holding down the domestic fort," Danes explains. "We feel so fortunate that we get to work in tandem like this. There is, like, a month overlap but basically it is 'his turn, my turn.'"
For now, Danes is enjoying bringing her son with her to set. "[Our director Lesli Linka Glatter] will hold him and direct," she says. "She's literally bobbing him [in her arms] and says, 'Action.' It's very cool. It's very sweet."

The Central Connecticut softball team swept the Rhode Island Rams (9-28 overall) in a doubleheader on Thursday at the CCSU Softball field by scores of 11-0 and 11-3 in two five-inning games. The Blue Devils improve to 27-12 on the season with the victories.
Sophomore Laura Messina registered her 20th win and 10th shutout of the season and junior Arielle Bruno went 3-for-3 at the plate, scoring three runs and driving in four RBI in game one.
In game two, freshman Eileen Purcell led the Blue Devils with two hits in three at-bats, scoring three runs and driving in three RBI.
"Both our offense and defense were great today, Head Coach Jeff Franquet said. "The defense really backed up Laura and Nicole in the circle and everyone hit well, we are hoping to keep this momentum going through this weekend's match-up with Robert Morris as we battle for the number one spot."
Game 1
The Blue Devils got out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Bruno, who ranks in the top ten in eight categories in the CCSU career record book, led off the first inning with a deep double to right field. Senior Nicole Springer followed and launched her eighth homer of the season over right field to drive in two runs.
In the bottom of the second, CCSU went on a two-out rally to increase their lead to 5-0. Purcell stepped to the plate and launched her seventh double of the season and was followed by another from freshman Brittany Ernst to plate one. Ernst came home on a left-field bomb from Bruno, her fifth of the season.
The Rams threatened in the top of the fourth, putting two on base with only one out, however an unassisted double play by Purcell closed the half inning and ended the threat.
The Blue Devils added the final six runs in the bottom of the fourth on a 2 RBI single from Bruno, a Malcolm single and a homer by CCSU home run record-holder Kelsey Barlow.
CCSU tallied 10 hits in 21 at bats and left only one batter stranded on base.
Game 2
Senior Nicole Springer pitched the full five innings in game two, giving up only seven hits and striking out two batters. Her record improves to 6-2 on the season.
It was the Rams who got the scoring started in game two with a 1-0 lead in the top of the second.
The Blue Devils responded in the bottom of the second when a single to left from Purcell drove in freshman Evie Rentzel for the tying run. Purcell advanced to third on a wild pitch and was plated by freshman Kenya McVey, who flied out to right field.
Rhode Island added two to the board in the top of the third to re-claim the lead 3-2. The lead was short-lived however, by a seven-run rally in the bottom of the third to put CCSU up for good.
The big inning included a single by Springer, Barlow, Rentzel and Purcell as well as two doubles from Malcolm after batting all the way through the order. Malcolm tallied three RBI in the inning and Barlow, Rentzel, Purcell and Bruno each added one.
After holding the Rams scoreless in the top of the fourth, the Blue Devils added two more to make it 11 on a Barlow single, a Rentzel double and an RBI on a fielder's choice from Purcell. Freshman Brittany Ernst also tallied an RBI as she smacked a single to right field to plate McVey, who walked.
CCSU racked up 13 hits in game two compared to seven for URI.
The Blue Devils are on a six-win streak and creep up on the single season win record (31). They look to keep the momentum going as they face the number one ranked team in the NEC, Robert Morris. CCSU will host the Colonials on Saturday in a doubleheader set to begin at 1 p.m.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry earned the "SNL" treatment Saturday in the wake of a recent speech in New Hampshire that led pundits to question whether the GOP presidential contender had been under the influence.
Clips of the speech, which went viral on YouTube, showed Perry talking up New Hampshire's "cool" motto, Live Free Or Die, and giggling over a bottle of maple syrup. He later told the San Francisco Chronicle that, no, he hadn't taken any substances or pain medication before showing up for the event.
On Saturday, Perry's "SNL" doppelgänger, Bill Hader, stopped by "Weekend Update" to discuss what really happened.
U.S. & World
Long story short, blame Herman Cain for doling out Godfather's Pizza, according to Hader's Perry.
"It wasn't until after I ate it that I realized that the pepperonis were Ambiens and the tomato sauce was beer," he told Seth Myers.

Guildford, Surrey, U.K., 21 June 2010 - BOC balloon gas has helped to invent a new mode of transport and with it, a first for an English Channel crossing. The Cluster Balloon, 54 gas-filled balloons tied to a chair, kept US adventurer Jonathan Trappe aloft on a flight from Ashford in Kent, over the white cliffs of Dover, to northern France. It took him just under five hours to complete the 22 mile journey.
Travelling at 25 mph, Trappe ascended to 7,500 ft before cutting some of the balloons loose and crash-landing in a cabbage patch in Les Moeres, 12 miles west of Dunkirk, much to the bemusement of the local Gendarmerie. Fortunately, with the cluster balloon classified as an aircraft, they were satisfied with his flight plan and documentation and sent him on his way.
Said Trappe, a qualified pilot, "It was an exceptional experience – very quiet and very peaceful. With steering very much in the hands of the elements, it was a childhood dream come true…….the fulfilment of a wonderful fantasy of grabbing onto toy balloons and floating away into space."
BOC, a member of The Linde Group, traditionally supplies helium gas for party balloons but this was a new departure. Ian Stewart, BOC account manager, said, "Whilst it is not something we'd recommend you try at home, the idea really caught our imagination. I am delighted that BOC's ability to execute resulted in a seamless launch of a new mode of transport and a new record for the iconic Channel crossing challenge."
Trappe joins an elite group of history-makers. Pierre Blanchard was the first balloonist to cross the Channel in 1785. In 1963 Ed Yost and Don Piccard made it in a newly-invented hot air balloon in just over 3 hours and, 45 years later, jet man, Yves Rossy, made a successful jet-propelled crossing in 2008.
BOC is a member of the Linde Group. An industrial, medical and special gases provider, the company supplies compressed and bulk gases, chemicals and equipment. For more than a century the company's gases and expertise have contributed to advances in everyday life, and industries including steelmaking, refining, chemical processing, environmental protection, wastewater treatment, welding and cutting, food processing and distribution, glass production, electronics and healthcare.

1. Genelia D'Souza as Hasini was fantastic. It is no surprise she won the Best Actress Filmfare award that year for her performance. Reword her name to Haseena (gorgeous) or Hansini (swan), and it would be appropriate. She played a temple-going and superstition-subscribing (excuse me if that is grammatically incorrect) belle...
...who was a bindaas (fearless) college student not afraid to sneak out of class...
...and speak her mind to her concerned father every once in a while (despite contradictions, which only justified the realism in her character -- young, silly woman).
Most importantly, she was sincere and honest, a khuli kitaab (open book). She also appreciated the finer foods in life. :) The paani puri she loved instantly reminded me of its distant cousin sev puri (discussed in this post).
She was fantastic and lovable no matter what she wore (expressions and colors) and when.
She need not act in this. I am convinced this is who she is in real life!
And she liked Siddhu (short for Siddharth). Loved that she would use 'Siddhu' in almost every other sentence during their conversations. Sounded so innocent. Awwww.
She also managed to take over the film in this sequence. On a more serious note, she really does have phenomenal improvisational skills.
2. My introduction to Siddharth came in one of my all-time favorite films, Rang De Basanti (2006), in which he was fantastic as Karan Singhania. Here, he played the son of a rich businessman too. Again, his acting was excellent. He struck a balance between the comedy...
...the romance...
...and the sentimental. Each time he succeeded.
3. Loved how the movie started out. Every guy who has gone shirt-shopping with dad can relate to this:
4. The rest of the actors were extremely well cast. Siddhu's father -- played by Prakash Raj -- was very good.
5. This scene, in which the family was watching a soccer game, reminded me of at least three instances of soccer World Cups during which members from my extended family and I would stay up late to watch games. Each time, there was a wedding for which we had gathered. Each time, the living rooms we were in would be as loud as a sports bar. This was really quite representative of not only South Indian culture, but Indian culture as a whole.
6. What I really liked about the film was that so little looked artificial. The flow was natural, the people looked and acted very natural. And things seemed easy to relate to. The ambiance in some of the sequences was splendid. In addition to that TV room noted above, the dining room was well put together. Heck, Hasini was even made to sit to the right of the host (albeit farther away), perhaps an indication of her special guest status in the house (dining room etiquette experts, be proud!)?
And this scene in the living room was well done too. That lady in the blue saree reminded me of Tabu, which is freaky, given that this is my second consecutive movie review (the other being Kashmir Ki Kali) with honorable mention of the lovely lady :)
7. An important feature of the film was the time spent on the phone. Reminded me of this bit of dialogue in Jaane Tu, "Phone par, beta" (on the phone, child).
8. Oh, did I mention Hasini looked fantastic throughout, time and place notwithstanding?
9. The film has an interesting end. This provides some indication of the source of intrigue.
This might seem exaggerated to those who have not seen Bommarillu, but the film is easily up there with its Bollywood counterparts, films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dilwaale Dulhania Le Jaayenge. It has more soul than at least one of those two blockbusters. And this is not an impulsive reaction either. I watched bits of it again on Saturday, and continue to be amazed at how well everything fit!
I do not speak Telugu (sadly, but Genelia speaks Hindi, so that's okay), but the dialogue, as translated, was fantastic, and so was the music. Enjoy my favorite song below (love the music and choreography). Sita-ji shared it in her review, and I like this even more after having seen the film.
Was waiting to see Genelia in a second lead role before adding her name to my list of favorite actresses, and the film provided that and a whole lot more. Four stars and then some for a beautifully made and entertaining film that delivers because of fine performances by everyone involved. Watch Bommarillu to remind yourself why we all love Indian cinema to begin with!
My rating: 4.25/5 (excellent!)
My classification: G (clean -- great for family viewing)
A wish: When this film is remade in Hindi, please, please, please cast Genelia opposite Siddharth again or opposite Imran Khan. Anybody with me on not wanting Harman Baweja here?

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 19 (UPI) -- It took thousands of years for people in what is now China to go from eating wild plants to growing them, suggesting farming was slow to emerge, scientists say.
The findings show agriculture took almost 12,000 years to emerge from ancient traditions of plant use, Li Liu of Stanford University and colleagues said.
They studied three grinding stones from China's Yellow River region displaying residues showing they were used to process millet and other grains, but the stones date from 23,000 to 19,500 years ago, late in the last ice age, while the earliest archaeological evidence for crop cultivation in China is 11,000 years old, NewScientist.com reported.
Other researchers say the findings support studies that seems to indicate a worldwide pattern of a delay between human consumption of grains and efforts to domesticate and farm them.
In the Middle East there is also "evidence of cereals at that 23,000-year point," Robin Allaby of the University of Warwick in Britain said -- long before people were farming them.
"Although this period is around the late glacial maximum, there is a blip at 23,000 years during which time it was milder."
Millet and the other food plants could have flourished in the warmth, tempting people to start exploiting them as a food source, Allaby said.

Toddler Girl
Speaking of Toddler Girl. Oh man, oh my. She's a thousand miles a minute, and some times I have a hard time keeping up. She talks in complete sentences and carries complete conversations. She knows what she wants and what she does not. She'll be three years old in just two short months, and I'm just now working on filling out her baby book. This task has magnified the fact that time has flown. It's also made clear that there's so much I can't remember -- like who starred in what popular movies of the time and what were the world's most influential political and religious leaders of the time. I can't remember details, but I still remember moments. And right now, I'm trying to hold tightest to the Greta Girl moments and, as to not lose my sanity and affinity for my baby girl, I'm trying my best to kick aside many of the Toddler Girl moments.

Broccoli Grape Salad
I can eat this salad everyday of the week. It all started when I was prego with baby number 3, Miss Raine, who just happens to be 10 going on 11 right now. I craved this salad so often that I knew that I needed a master recipe, instead of buying my deli out of it each week. The hardest part for me was the dressing but once I mastered that, it was smooth sailing. That is until I started craving Gala apples and Havarti cheese. Did I mention that Havarti cheese is not be found anywhere near Beaty's Creek??? That is another story for another day. Give this salad a try at your next potluck. This is What's Cookin on Beaty's Creek today.
1 head cauliflower-broke into small bite size florets
1 pound broccoli crowns-broke into small florets
1 pound red grapes-halved
1 pound bacon-cooked until crisp and drained on a paper towel
1 small red onion-diced
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 1/2 cups mayo
1 cup milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 t garlic powder
1 t salt
1 t black pepper
Mix mayo, sugar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk together until sugar dissolves and set aside. Now mix all of your veggies and grapes together. Pour in dressing and add bacon and stir very well. Place in fridge for 4 hours before serving. When serving I sprinkle sunflower seeds on top.

By Spartacus Thrace
We rightfully expect political candidates and the people around them to be morally upright and of excellent character as a condition precedent to the ability to properly conduct themselves in the affairs of government if and when elected. The fact that a candidate for public office has pornography on his or her computer or subscribes to a pornography feed should be big news in any election, as it says a lot about the morals and character of the candidate. Presidential candidates and their committees are no exception. That is why it is significant and relevant to the election of our next President that the Barack Obama campaign subscribes to the pornography feed, https://twitter.com/ILikeTitsDaily, which features a daily posting of (often gaudy) photographs of the exposed breasts of women. Sometimes the breasts are not completely exposed, often the breasts are framed without showing even the faces of the women, and the sexual organs are exposed in some of the photographs.

An interesting exchange is taking place.
Under Armour, as part of their agreement with the NBA, renovated The Dome at Madison Square Recreation Center basketball courts for use by inner city kids and brought Muggsy Bogues in for the dedication ("Bogues back where he came from," June 12). MayorStephanie Rawlings-Blake declared the courts "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."
Meanwhile, the city is arranging $35 million in tax increment financing for the expansion of the Under Armour campus at Tide Point, part of which will be used to create a park with state of the art playing fields for the use of Under Armor employees. The fields may or may not be accessible to the public and may or may not end up being owned by Under Armour.
I'm all for more recreational facilities, and there may be much good to be said for both of these efforts. But somehow I get the eerie feeling that as "one hand washes the other," it's the taxpayers of Baltimore who are getting cleaned out. Perhaps, if there were more transparency in city government and more openness about who benefits from tax incentives, we could celebrate Under Armour's corporate successes with a whole heart.

Weekly business rail, with standing items and news bits.
Thank you, Jacoby Ellsbury! The Boston Red Sox speedster stole a base Thursday night during the World Series, meaning Taco Bell will have to pony up on its "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" promotion. On Tuesday, head to Taco Bell from 2 to 5 p.m. to claim your free taco. Does anyone think this promotion wasn't a stroke of genius? Taco Bell is receiving tons of free advertising (we're one of the many guilty of it), and the chain is betting most people won't go to a restaurant solely for one small taco – they're likely to buy other products, too. A Dollar Just Doesn't Go As Far These Days Every woman wants her wedding to be special, and if she's got the dough, she can make it REALLY special. For example, she could get a Diamond Wedding Gown, which has 150 carats of diamonds. The price of this one-day dress will set you back about $12 million. - http://most-expensive.net Santa's Workshop Whether you're in the holiday mood or not, the Christmas buying season has begun. Over the next couple of months, we'll highlight some of the hottest toys out there. WowWee Roboraptor Robotic Dinosaur, $79.99: Evidence that the robotic dinosaur revolution is spreading, this Roboraptor comes fully assembled and ready to roam the Earth with his robotic dinosaur cousins. He has movable arms, a swiveling head, a sweeping tail and a chomping jaw full of pointy teeth. Measuring 32 inches from nose to tail, the Roboraptor is a big enough to intimidate any smaller predator that may come along. While this raptor hasn't yet developed his full hunting skills, he's still a lot of fun and comes with over 40 preprogrammed functions, three distinct moods and the ability to detect things in its path with infrared vision. He also comes equipped with automatic shutoff and a demo mode. Roboraptor is steady on his feet but works best on smooth, hard surfaces. – Amazon.com Quote of Note "We're still focusing on how to meet booming demand. We're absolutely not considering a price cut." Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, talking to The Associated Press about possibly lowering the price of the Nintendo Wii.

Paste the headers at the top of the message and address the email to firstname.lastname@example.com. - BBB Dirty Jobs: Concrete Chipper You know those large trucks that carry and spin concrete? Well, it doesn't take long for the concrete to harden, which renders it useless. At the end of a work day, trucks are 50 to 60 percent concrete. Each night, workers crawl into cement trucks with pneumatic jackhammers to chip away the hardened concrete inside he drum. Their tools weigh hundreds of pounds and the sound they make is deafening. By the end of a 10-hour shift, workers are covered in concrete bits and dust. - Forbes GateHouse News Service
