The AI:Trail is mean, green and the first Audi in the modern era to wear the word Audi on its tail in place of the customary Rings. In spite of its larger-then-life look the AI:Trail (pronounced i-Trail) is actually 335-millimetres shorter than the Q3 — sitting inside it, one would never know as there is space galore! The low beltline and large expanse of glass, including a pane that replaces the traditional grille, gives the cabin a light airy feel and 360-degree views of the road or off-road terrain. There are also large storage areas ahead of the driver (accessed through the lift-up windshield) along with a rear cargo floor that has a compartment for the charging cables.

Don't HIDE, and Don't FOLD! How to GET OVER the HUMP in Jiu-Jitsu

Image
"We've all been there. Your lungs are burning, legs are screaming, and everything in you wants you to give up. Don't! Not only will you develop awful training habits, like turtling and giving up your back, but you'll let your MIND weaken! Quitting in training is a slippery slope, and you'll find yourself giving up sooner and sooner. Instead, dig deep and embrace where you are. Fight through the discomfort and you'll come out stronger." - McHugh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Give Your Yard Back To Nature

Why You Should Let Nature Take Over Your Lawn Most American yards don't reflect their ecological condition. The plants need to be treated with fertilizer because the soil's not right. They want water the weather doesn't provide. Wildlife disappears because they no longer have food to eat. All this creates more labor for homeowners, the humans in this ecosystem, because they're working against nature instead of with it.

An Important Message From Your Sensei

Image
Would you rather be weak with a strong mind, or strong with a weak mind? The answer is simple. Be both. Karate teaches us that training the body is important, but training the mind is only slightly less important. 8 out of 10 students trained in my dojo will defeat an untrained student in a battle of unarmed combat, and the student that combines the lessons of the fist with the lessons of the brain will prove most effective of all. For eons the practitioners of martial arts have held the secrets to the art of self-defense. Grand Master passed these lessons down to me — the same lessons that have, since ancient times, proven essential in conquering weakness and perfecting masculinity. Now you can learn these priceless secrets in a deluxe set of motivational cassettes for only 10 easy payments of $4.99. For less than the cost of a $5 product, you can discover true greatness.  Your journey begins now.   Sensei www.why-karate.com
