Personally I never used NZBMatrix ever in my life so I wasn't hurt much other then newbies flocking to where I usually hang out in.
Anyways I actually keep an old copy of newleecher around just so I can pull headers when I want to, old habit but useful sometimes to just browse a group but now a days they're using so many different groups it's becoming a lost art.
I actually just jumped into the SabNZB ship last month and still getting used to it, I still miss a separate program but there is no better software out now as newsreaders are dying off slowly!
I also know that a lot of these questions about vpn providers "logging" are kind of pointless. There are two kinds of vpn providers. Those who log the IP address used to access their servers and those who lie and say they do not log anything. ALL vpn providers who want to stay in business will log the IP address you use to access their system. If they do not, they can not act on take down notices and they have no rights under DMCA type laws. If they are not worried about their DMCA rights, then they are likely going to take your money for as long as you give it to them and then when they get shut down, they will run away with your money. I would NOT trust any vpn provider who claims to not log anything.
To my knowledge, no vpn actually logs WHAT and WHERE you visit. Just the IP address you use to connect to their network. It allows them to turn your account off when they get a take down notice.
Most VPN providers do not want to "rat out" their customers, its not in their best interest. They will protect their customers as long as possible. You are best off finding a good cheap VPN provider with a server relatively close to where you are located.

The Battle of Khyber
Valley of Khyber is located near Medina. It is the valley full of flowers and dates. It was located 96 miles far away from Medina. It was the first ever Ghazwa in Islamic history in which Muslim do jihad after announcing, and a large number of Jews were killed and break the backbone of Jews. Mohammad (SAWW) gave religious independence to every tribe of Jews and every member of Mesaak E Medina.
Khyber is a central point of Jews where they built many strong castles; nine is the figure regarding number of castles. Some famous castles names are Salalim, Al-Qamos, Al-Wateh, Naham, Zubair and nataat. Al-Qamors is famous because of its power and strength and strongest of all castles. Protection of this castle was under a wrestler known as Marhab. Some of the people of Banu Nazeer Tribe also lived in Khyber along with Jews. Their three leaders were succeeded in establishing their leadership. Hai bin Aktab was the leader who made problems in way of Prophet (SAWW) until he was murdered in Gazwa Bnu Kareza. Jews of Khyber mixed up with FADAK Jews, they also persuaded Ghatafan tribe to join them. On the other hand Prophet's (SAWW) army was not so strong to face upcoming battle. When the battle begins Muslims prevent Ghatafan allies. Some mysterious voice came towards Ghatafan and warned about the danger. So they return to their homes and Muslims succeeded.
Muslims set out for the battle of Khyber at Muharram 7 in 628 AH. Strength of Muslims army was approximately 1400 to 1800 & 100 to 200 horses. Muslim women also took part in battle, to take care of wounded persons. While people from Khyber were 10,000 in strength but this gave advantage to Muslims. Because it made Khybarian overconfident so, it gave a chance to Muslims to quietly march towards Khyber and surprisingly capture the city. The Prophet (SAWW) conquers each house with relative ease, weapons, food and land. There is a bloody skirmish in front one of the fortresses. Jews not Muslims were prepared and suffered lack of provisions. Jews were overconfident and failed because of fewer water supplies. Muslims got hungry so they slaughter some asses. At the point where scarcity leaves no option then meat of mule, ass and horse could be eaten but not in normal life, they are forbidden.
Several tries done by Muslims to capture citadel but failed every time, even Abu Bakar R.A and Umar Farooq R.A also tried but failed. Then Prophet (SAWW) called Ali R.A and gave him banner. Ali R.A set out toward citadel and meet enemy Marhab on the gate. In second blow Ali R.A split his head into pieces. After that Muslims pass through citadel and fought final threshold.
The Jews met Mohammad (SAWW) to discuss terms of surrender. Jews surrendered to Muslims and Mohammad (SAWW) agreed on these conditions. Jews evacuate area and surrender wealth. Victory of Khyber raised the status of Mohammad (SAWW) in His followers and in local tribes. Many people converted to Islam. Captured wealth and, booty and weapons strengthened Muslims and just after 18 months of Khyber Muslims conquered Mecca.

Google Releases Fresh Code, Tells the Community 'Don't Copy This Code'
'Jarlsberg' has more holes than the cheese it's named after.
Google's Open Source Blog announced new freely available source code for Jarlsberg, a feature-rich microblogging Web app and then asked the community not to download it. What gives?
Jarlsberg is designed to show a developer what do by showing a developer what not to do. The Web app is built from the ground up be vulnerable, showcasing every known security exploit facing a Web app.
The software component of the "Web Application Exploits and Defenses" codelab, was released today and can be downloaded here. Just don't copy it.
You can see the source but it's not open sourceThe Jarlsberg code is licensed under CC-BY-ND, which is not an OSI-recognized open source license and allows no derivative works. So when they say "don't use our code", they don't just mean be careful because it's bad code, they mean you're not legally allowed to use it. The source is available but it's not "open source".

Adding color details to candies makes them more realistic and much more fun! For large areas of color, it's best to paint the melted candy right in the mold before the whole candy is molded using a decorator brush.

- - How far down is the Burton AK 2l stagger supposed to go? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/outerwear-accessories/52728-how-far-down-burton-ak-2l.html)
How far down is the Burton AK 2l stagger supposed to go?
I got the burton ak jacket for christmas and its in a medium which is my usual size and when i have it on the sleeves fit ok when i velcro them but the jacket itself when i pull the strings and tighten it still goes down past my ass. Is that how this jacket is supposed to fit or is it too large?
That's normal. I'm 5'10" 170ish with 40 inch chest, and can fit inside a small ak hover jacket. With two layers inside. Stagger is even bigger
ok thanks maybe ill just exchange it for a small
also how far down are the pants supposed to go? I got the ak stagger pants in medium but they get probably halfeay along my foot or more after hitting the floor if im not wearing pants under them. I know its normal for this stuff to be baggy but is this too much?
Sounds fine to me. You want the jacket to come well down over your ass, otherwise you'll get snow down your pants all the time.
The pants wont be an issue when you have boots on.
What feels like a normal fit when you initially try outerwear on, is in practice generally too small. When you have all the gear on and some layers and stuff in your pockets you really want plenty of room to move and so you don't overheat.
I would wear medium for a good fit if I was wearing the jacket with everyday clothes but large or xl is by far the better feeling and looking fit for on the slopes. You actually have to go quite extreme before it looks too big.

Thank you for visiting my home away from home, where romance struggles to survive in the midst of danger and death. You're welcome here. Stop by my Books page and read the excerpts. If you've never read a romantic suspense novel, maybe I can convince you to give it a try.
His past is better left forgotten…
"I'm back in the adrenaline pumping world of Lost and Found, Inc! What a
way to immerse yourself back with the Wolfe Pack. I love this series. It's
gritty without being too dark and the characters are important to the
story. The most fear inducing scene was in Suzanne's apartment (no
spoilers). My heart was in my throat and I almost cried in relief by the
time the scene was over." – Nicola Brooks
A man determined not to lose again. A Woman who's lost everything.
"Absolutely LOVED this book. Jerrie Alexander left nothing out, the heat, the romance and the suspense from one minute to the next you'll be in whirlwind of emotions! Ms. Alexander knows how to keep the pages turning and this series has only gotten better with each book." – Guilty Pleasures
"I highly recommend this series. It features hunky alpha males who share an unbreakable bond forged back in their college years. The former military heroes put their resources and skills to good use, helping those who have run out of other options. It's well-written, sexy and a great way to spend the day—with a thrill and a chill." – Ms Romantic Reads
Blow up a drug compound. Rescue a woman. Get out alive.
"This fast-paced, action-packed novel grabs the reader's attention from the first page and doesn't let go until the last!" – InD'Tale magazine
"I really enjoyed the amount of action in this story. Danger both on and off home turf, seemingly insurmountable obstacles in the form of conflicting interests and the usual nasty villains made Cold Day in Hell a thrilling, sweaty read from start to finish. It can be read as a stand alone and there is no cliffhanger ending." – Ms Romantic Reads
A woman in danger. A man she loves but can't trust.
"These characters will pull you into an action packed story and into the complicated emotions that stir within them. Hell or High Water is a fast moving, suspenseful, and romantic read that grips you from the first page and keeps entrenched until the very end. Jerrie Alexander has written a great read and I look forward to reading more of her stories. Enjoy!" – Night Owl Reviews

Peat Bog Soldiers
"Peat Bog Soldiers" (German: Die Moorsoldaten) is one of Europe's best-known protest songs. It exists in countless European languages and became a Republican anthem during the Spanish Civil War. It was a symbol of resistance during the Second World War and is popular with the Peace movement today. It was written, composed and first performed in a Nazi concentration camp by prisoners.
This song was written by prisoners[1] in Nazi moorland labour camps in Lower Saxony, Germany. The Emslandlager[2] ("Emsland camps") – as they were known – were for political opponents of the Third Reich, located outside of Börgermoor, now part of the commune Surwold, not far from Papenburg. A memorial of these camps, the Dokumentations- und Informationszentrum (DIZ) Emslandlager, is located at Papenburg.
In 1933, one camp, Börgermoor, held about 1,000 Socialist and Communist internees. They were banned from singing existing political songs so they wrote and composed their own. The words were written by Johann Esser (a miner) and Wolfgang Langhoff (an actor); the music was composed by Rudi Goguel and was later adapted by Hanns Eisler and Ernst Busch.[3]
It was first performed at a Zircus Konzentrazani ("concentration camp circus") on 28 August 1933 at Börgermoor camp. Here is Rudi Goguel's description of it:[4]
The sixteen singers, mostly members of the Solinger workers choir, marched in holding spades over the shoulders of their green police uniforms (our prison uniforms at the time). I led the march, in blue overalls, with the handle of a broken spade for a conductor's baton. We sang and by the end of the second verse nearly all of the thousands of prisoners present gave voice to the chorus. With each verse, the chorus became more powerful and, by the end, the SS – who had turned up with their officers – were also singing, apparently because they too thought themselves "peat bog soldiers".
The song has a slow simple melody, reflecting a soldier's march, and is deliberately repetitive, echoing and telling of the daily grind of hard labour in harsh conditions. It was popular with German refugees in London in the Thirties and was used as a marching song by the German volunteers of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. It was soon picked up by other nationalities and it appears in almost all the collected anthologies of Spanish Civil War songs.
The French Foreign Legion use the French version of the song, "Le Chant Des Marais", as one of its marching songs, the sombre tone and timing matching the 88 paces per minute distinctive of the Legion.[citation needed]
The "short" (three-verse) lyrics[edit]
Langhoff and Esser's original song[5] runs to six verses, plus refrains (see below). For performance – and, therefore, for most translation – shorter lyrics are used. These omit verses two, three and four of the original.
Die Moorsoldaten
Wohin auch das Auge blicket.
Auf und nieder geh'n die Posten,
Doch für uns gibt es kein Klagen,
Peat Bog Soldiers
Far and wide as the eye can wander,
Up and down the guards are marching,
But for us there is no complaining,
The full version[edit]
This is the full six-verse German version, together with a literal English translation.
|Die Moorsoldaten
|Literal translation
Wohin auch das Auge blicket.
Wherever the eye watches
Hier in dieser öden Heide
Here inside this barren marshland
Morgens ziehen die Kolonnen
In the morning, all of us
Heimwärts, heimwärts jeder sehnet,
Homeward, homeward everyone yearns
Auf und nieder geh'n die Posten,
Up and down the guards are walking
Doch für uns gibt es kein Klagen,
But for us there is no complaining,

About Gettysburg Area Dollars For Scholars®
Gettysburg Area Dollars for Scholars is a Dollars for Scholars chapter of the national Scholarship America® organization. Gettysburg Area Dollars for Scholars (GA Dollars for Scholars) is a community-based volunteer organization, the purpose of which is to raise local money and distribute post-secondary scholarship funds to high school seniors living in the Gettysburg Area School District. Because of GA Dollars for Scholars' 501(c)(3) status, gifts to the organization are federally tax deductible.
Organized in May 2004, GA Dollars for Scholars continues working to energize the Gettysburg community to provide at least part of an answer to the concerns and needs of our families, many of which will be struggling to pay the costs of higher education. GA Dollars for Scholars money will go directly to where it is needed, paying a portion of those educational costs so that more students can afford an education beyond high school. It is our hope that these students will remember that their community helped them and remain here-or come back--as productive members.
In May 2015, Gettysburg Area Dollars for Scholars awarded over $89,000 to 44 students who entered technical and academic and two- and four-year programs. We are thankful for the strong Community support which enabled us to surpass the $589,000 mark in total scholarship giving during that eleventh anniversary year! Please consider being a contributor to our cause and supporting the youth of the Gettysburg Community on into the future!
And, if you are graduating in the Class of 2016 and you or your parents live in the Gettysburg Area School District, PLEASE APPLY for our many scholarships! We will be offering at least $90,000 in scholarships this year.

My recent column about The Moreno Valley, home of Eagle Nest town and lake, generated questions about The Big Ditch Project constructed in 1868 to furnish water to the new gold mines.
In 1867, gold had been discovered in the deep placer gravels on the sides of Baldy Mountain near Elizabethtown. Vast amounts of water were needed to successfully recover the gold deposits.
Sadly, the only water available for this purpose lay over the mountains to the northwest in the Red River Basin above today's town of Red River.
An engineer was hired to survey and assess the situation to see if the Red River water could be transported to the gold-discovery sites. This study spawned The Big Ditch Project which used ditches, flumes and trestles to carry the water over the mountains to the gold fields.
At the time, the project was considered the most astonishing engineering feat in the early West. Completed in six months time, it required approximately 420 men and cost $280,000, a fortune at the time.
All work was done by hand including building three miles of wooden flumes, one was 79 feet high and 2,376 feet in length. More than five miles of ditch had to be blasted from solid rock, one section was dug more than 10 feet deep.
Measuring as the crow flies, The Big Ditch crossed only eleven miles. But to keep the grades right and keep the water flowing, the ditch traveled 41 miles, 660 feet before reaching the gold-strike site.
Interestingly, The Big Ditch Project was owned by a water company, not the mining companies. Originally designed to provide 7.65 million gallons of water each 24 hours, the water was sold and recycled three times to various mining interests before being released.
The project was continually beset with serious problems. Floods and winter freeze damage kept the ditch in bad repair. Loss of water to leaks, evaporation and seepage cut the production to where the water company went broke.
Matthew Lynch of Trinidad, Colo., who owned a rich gold claim on Baldy, bought the Big Ditch Project, repaired and maintained the operation in order to continue successful mining for many years.
History records that as spring thaws came each year, the miners all gathered in the mountains to clean and repair the many flumes and ditches of The Big Ditch. It became a sort of annual celebration like the old Spanish acequia-cleaning traditions of the past.
Little remains of The Big Ditch today except for the old ditches cut in rock, rotted lumber and rusty nails. But up on the Red River, the source of water for The Big Ditch, three lakes remain. Ditch Lake No. 1 now is Horseshoe Lake, Ditch Lake No. 2 now is Lost Lake and Ditch Lake No. 3 is Middle Fork Lake.
Its hard to believe that a project of this size and scope could be carried out in that early time with just picks, shovels, hand saws and a few sticks of dynamite.
Never underestimate the power of potential profit when man is concerned.

All About Courageby Frank Peretti
Mr. Henry knows that kids can have many different fears. That's why he shares the victories of some of the Bible's bravest characters: David, Esther, and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Forget suits of armor and superhero outfits, Mr. Henry says. Asking God for courage and strength is the slingshot any child can use to defeat life's giants. With perfect aim, Mr. Henry shows what can happen when we stand strong and take our best shot for God.
All About Faithby Frank Peretti
What happens when kids mix a little faith with a big God? They get giant results, as Mr. Henry reveals in his humorous renditions of three Bible classics - Noah and the Ark, Moses and the Israelites, and Daniel and the Lion's Den. From the Moose that licks Noah's nose and the pot of Golden Calf Soup the Israelites drink, to the crazy dreams of crabby King Nebbie and the hungry faces of lions looking for lunchmeat, children won't forget these tales and the truth that there is no other way but to trust and obey.
All About Helping Othersby Frank Peretti
God loves us just the way we are, and He wants us to love each other, too! That's what Mr. Henry wants kids to learn as he retells these stories from the Bible: the Good Samaritan, Jesus and the disciples, and Jesus and the little children. In his own wacky way, Mr. Henry teaches some of the most important principles of helping one another.
All About Obedienceby Frank Peretti
No kid likes to follow all the rules, but Mr. Henry has a funny way of showing that it's totally cool to obey the Lord. Children will come to see that the garden's bananas taste a lot better than the snake's baloney, that it's no fun being fish food at the bottom of the sea, and that red rope licorice goes very well with Jericho crumb cake. It's a smorgasbord of biblical truths about why obeying God always tastes good.
La Casaby Frank Peretti
Un alucinante thriller sobrenatural dónde los personajes se encuentran cara a cara con el pecadoFrank Peretti y Ted Dekker, dos de los escritores más reconocidos en novelas de ficción, han unido sus fuerzas por primera vez para crear una historia como ninguna otra que hayas leído. Entra en La casa, donde te encontrarás en medio del juego mortal de un asesino en el cual la única manera de ganar es perdiendo y la única manera de salir está dentro.

The Deadly Curse Of Toco-Reyby Frank Peretti
Lila and Jay Cooper have joined their dad on a mission to the jungles of Central America, where a group of American treasure hunters have already become the victims of the deadly curse of Toco-Rey. Before Dr. Cooper can solve the mystery, his children are kidnapped and his integrity is put to the test. What price will he pay to get his children back? Is the treasure in the burial tomb of Kachi-Tochetin really worth more than gold? Follow the Coopers as they explore unknown ruins, plunge through dangerous jungles, face hostile natives, and battle ancient evil forces. Will their courage and faith in God bring them through?
Houseby Frank Peretti
A mind-bending supernatural thriller from the creators of This Present Darkness and Saint. Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker--two of the most acclaimed writers of supernatural thrillers--have joined forces for the first time to craft a story unlike any you've ever read. Enter House--where you'll find yourself thrown into a killer's deadly game in which the only way to win is to lose . . . and the only way out is in. The stakes of the game become clear when a tin can is tossed into the house with rules scrawled on it. Rules that only a madman--or worse--could have written. Rules that make no sense yet must be followed. One game. Seven players. Three rules. Game ends at dawn.
Illusionby Frank Peretti
Dane and Mandy, a popular magic act for forty years, are tragically separated by a car wreck that claims Mandy's life--or so everyone thinks. Even as Dane mourns and tries to rebuild his life without her, Mandy, supposedly dead, awakes in the present as the nineteen-year-old she was in 1970. Distraught and disoriented in what to her is the future, she is confined to a mental ward until she discovers a magical ability to pass invisibly through time and space to escape. Alone in a strange world, she uses her mysterious powers to eke out a living, performing magic on the streets and in a quaint coffee shop. Hoping to discover an exciting new talent, Dane ventures into the coffee shop and is transfixed by the magic he sees, illusions that even he, a seasoned professional, cannot explain. But more than anything, he is emotionally devastated by this teenager who has never met him, doesn't know him, is certainly not in love with him, but is in every respect identical to the young beauty he first met and married some forty years earlier. They begin a furtive relationship as mentor and protégée, but even as Dane tries to sort out who she really is and she tries to understand why she is drawn to him, they are watched by secretive interests who not only possess the answers to Mandy's powers and misplacement in time but also the roguish ability to decide what will become of her. Frank Peretti has crafted a rich, rewarding story of love and life, loss and restoration, full of twists and mystery. Exceptionally well written, Illusion will soon prove another Peretti classic.

The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch.

The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that has eternal consequences.
The Wounded Spiritby Frank Peretti
If you've ever been there,you've never forgotten. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smellof a junior high school locker room.It's the feeling of being undersized ... or oversized ... or klutzy ... or less than beautiful. Of being a nerd ... or a geek ... or just, somehow, different.It's knowing you are vulnerable-and someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable.It's the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit.And bestselling novelist Frank Peretti is a member, too. This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It's the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school-especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared-and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors! In Peretti's case, deliverance eventually came-through time, through prayer, through a teacher's caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high food chain. And from the reservoir of those agonizing memories he sends a compelling message to victims, to bullies, and to authorities who have the power to intervene-that it's never OK for the strong to abuse the weak. And that we allow such abuse at the expense of our souls ... and our very civilization.Especially in the wake of the massacre at Columbine High School-perpetuated by two troubled but also tormented outsiders--this message takes on haunting resonance. Frank Peretti believes we cannot afford to overlook the continuing reality of wounded spirits, not only in our schools, but in our homes, churches, and workplaces. His approach is both tender and tough as he issues a ringing call for a change in attitude.It's a call for all of us to stop thinking of abuse as "normal," even among kids.It's a call for the strong to stand up and protect the weak, not prey upon them.It's a call for those in authority to pay attention to the violence being done to the vulnerable in the midst of our everyday lives and to take action to help. Most of all, it's a call for bullies and victims alike (many of us are both) to seek the healing and forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ. For that healing is really the heart of this book-the only reality that can break the natural cycle of victimization and abuse.Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits-but that hope is powerful enough to change everything.

This is the time of the year that teams and players are dealing with a few nagging pains and bruises.
One Mississippi athlete finds him returning to the gridiron last week after spending three weeks off with a sprained ankle.
Senatobia star athlete Quintavius Burdette plays quarterback, wide out, and running back for his team. The standout Northwest Mississippi school is probably very excited about having Burdette back in the lineup.
"I played some last week," Burdette told AStateNation.com. "My ankle was still a little tender."
Burdette committed to Arkansas State over the summer, knowing he would be in good hands with Senatobia native and Red Wolves Head Coach Hugh Freeze.
"Coach Freeze is well known around our town and community," Burdette said. "He is a great guy that coached Michael Oher in high school. He comes from a great family here in my hometown."
While Burdette has been injured, it hasn't kept him from keeping up with his future college team.
"They are doing good," Burdette said. "They whipped Memphis really bad, that was impressive."
Burdette is being recruited by the Red Wolves recruiting coordinator Maurice Harris.
"Coach Harris is a great guy," Burdette said. "I'm very solid on my commitment, we talk quite a bit. I'm excited about going to school there next fall."

DAYS AFTER a packed concert at which some people took liberties with Northern Liberties, including outdoor sex romps and widespread public urination, neighbors are getting results.
The general counsel for Kushner Cos., the firm that owns the Piazza at Schmidt's, confirmed in an email that the licensing agreement between the venue and a promoter for Radio 104.5 has been terminated as of Wednesday, according to Matt Ruben, the president of the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association.
That means the station will no longer be allowed to host events in that space, a turn of events that Ruben welcomed after scores of intoxicated music fans turned the trendy neighborhood's narrow side streets into public toilets Saturday during a Radio 104.5 Summer Block Party.

I have a Subaru Outback 2004 2.5i (168CV) since 2004-may, I by this car new. I drive with it 50.000 Km in a familiar use (I never execed the 4500 rpm, I drive betwen 2.000 and 4.000 rpm). Since the first day, my Subaru burns 1 litre oil (a quarter) every 4.000 Km (2.500 miles). I try use many oil type: CEPSA 5-40, Motul 8100 5-40, Castrol TXT 5-50, but it burns the same oil. It is normal in this engine? What oil did you recomended?
There are somebody with the same problem? I read in a australian forum that in this country Subaru-Australia has replaced engines for this issue, it is true?
The Subaru service says that is normal !!!!, I never had a new car that burns oil, It is Subaru-engine the worst engine in the world?
If you are in southern Europe (you seem to have a Spanish address) don't be afraid to use a 15-40w, 15-50w oil, or even 20-50w. It may help a lot. I have noticed that my car burns a lot more 5-30w oil than 15-50w, and this is 5-30 in winter time, and 15-50 in summer.
I think these 5-40, 5-50, oils were developed for northern Europe type climates and for the convienience of year round use. In southern Europes warmer climate you should be able to use 15-40, 15-50 year round, unless you are somewhere in the mountains. If you are in some place like Southern Spain, S.Italy, or Greece, 20-50 year round should be OK, and should make a difference in oil consumption.
Hello MN,
Yes, I live in Barcelona. The syntetic oil 5-40 is the most used in my region for a new cars, and I use this oil in other cars without oil burning (VW Golf III, VW Passat, Honda HR-V).
Using a mineral oil it must change oil in 7500 Km, instead 15000 Km. I trie to use in my Subaru a Castrol RS 10-50, or a Motul 300V 10-40 or 15-40 in the next oil-change.

I don't think I'd worry about 1 litre per 2,500 miles. I suspect that you've treated the car very gently and it still hasn't broken in completely.
Subaru (or any other car maker) would not replace engines for this level of oil consumption.
Oil is cheap compared to gas and car payments. I would not worry about it.
Joan Masoliver wrote:
Sounds about normal. That's about what mine uses. I change my oil every 3000 miles so I hardly notice it. I have right at 12,000 miles on my Forrester.
Yes, Jim and chip, this isn't a high oil consomation, but it is the first car that I drive burning oil (I drive 750.000 Km):
Seat 600, Peugeot 504 GLD, Peugeot 205 GLD, VW Golf II GTI, VW Golf III GTI, VW Golf IV TDI, VW Passat TDI, Honda HR-V, and nothing burns oil. I test the oil level regulary.
New technology for new cars actually means you need to check your oil more often? , in opposition to the expectation of newer cars being more reliable and requiring less monitoring. I think that if a car need adding oil regulary it is necessary install a oil bootle, like a coolant bootle ..., but the user can't live in a insecurity sensation of leak oil, in front of the sophistication actual tecnology of cars: it has a temperature exterior sensor but it hasn't a exact oil-level sensor and it is necessari check oil manually, like my 1964 SEAT 600.
I think this Outback 2.5i is a "oil-guzzler"
grups de discussi�:dn6gc7$h6r$ email@example.com...
If the oil consumption is typical for the Subie 2.5 it probably indicates the engine was designed for demanding use. An extreme example of that is the old Lotus Super Seven (IIRC), which used an engine that was designed to power water pumps in fire engines. The engine had to endure putting out full power as soon as it was started, so the tolerances were left loose and it burned amazing amounts of oil. The same thing applies to engines that are designed for off-road use, but just not as radically. Loose tolerances make for a much more rugged engine if the engine is likely to be lugged a lot and/or pushed hard (like driving through sand.) Oil-sipping street engines don't last long under those conditions.
Michael Pardee wrote:
I'm not sure the use of the word 'normal' here by Subaru was correct, or should be taken to mean 'average'. I suspect it is within 'allowable limits'. There is likely a bell curve or somthing that represents typical oil usage and a lower limit. I do wonder how bad it would need tobe for Subaru to consider it a problem - perhaps if it were low in conjunction with a singel cylinder with low compression or some other combination of factors. I dunno.
Carl 1 Lucky Texan
That is my other thought. In the Honda forum the last couple years there were a number of posts by owners who saw their oil consumption suddenly jump, mostly with a year or two on the engine. They were nearly all under warranty but there was much gnashing of teeth until one dealer went far enough to determine it was a broken ring in one cylinder that was doing it to that car. Others pushed their dealers and it turned out to be the reason that was happening so much. I never did find out if a careful compression test would show it up (I'd think it would).
Joan Masoliver wrote:
I have put over 60k miles into 93' Legacy L and at that moment 150k miles into 02' Impreza 2.5 TS and Outback together and never have noted oil burning. However me and my wife drive rather hard.
Interestingly enough my Yamaha FZ-1 (bike) burns oil somewhat (which is fine) in case I ride it very gently on longer trips - average speed 75-85 mph at 5000 rpm. Heard that the engine takes less or none oil when pushed harder worth frequent trips over to 8+k RPM zone. It matches my observations.
Andy Leszczynski wrote:
One theory that's been advanced concerning your observation is that pushing the engine a little harder tends to "press" compression rings into the cylinder walls harder, thus creating a tighter seal. I won't say one way or the other whether this occurs, but the OP stated she never takes her engine up much past mid-range. Using your observation, it might help if she'd run her engine out to redline a few times a month. It's possible her rings have never properly seated, and this could help a bit.
While a PCV valve problem would be suspected after some miles have piled up, the fact she's experienced about the same oil consumption since the car was new makes me think that's unlikely. It's rumored many Subie engines DO take longer to seat rings than some others. Again I won't say one way or the other, but driving the car a bit harder might show some change.
As for the car in question being an oil-guzzler, I think the OP needs to redefine that term. In the past, and I'd imagine it's still true, you'd enjoy no success trying to convince a car mfr anything's wrong if oil consumption doesn't exceed 1 qt/1000 miles. Some German engines have "allowed" 1 qt/500 miles as "normal." Their philosophy was pretty similar to what another poster mentioned: the harder an engine's gonna be pushed, the more oil it should use due to looser tolerances--too tight and the engine will wear and/or self-destruct more rapidly. Autobahn use at 125 mph is certainly going to be a bit tougher than cruising around at 50-75 mph.
Now, if my calculator's close, I figure the OP's putting on about 2000 mi/month since buying the car. So once every four or five weeks she needs to add a quart. This is a problem? I don't think so. I check the oil in each of my cars once a week, and keep them topped up to the "full" mark on the stick whenever they're down 1/4 qt or more. It's arguably obsessive, but hardly a chore.

Museum exhibit to honor St. Leo IV altar servers
The first meeting to plan the German Heritage Museum exhibit honoring all altar servers (present and former) who have served at St. Leo IV Church in Roberts Cove was held Sunday, July 14.
Those present were Herb Gossen, Brent Didier, Steve Zaunbrecher, Gilbert Gossen, Cole Zaunbrecher, Dustin Zaunbrecher, Payton Zaunbrecher, Kortney Zaunbrecher, Ray Olinger, Ralph Gossen, Wilton Gary, Anthony Cramer, Nick Benoit, Joseph Ohlenforst Jr., Charlene Reynolds, Mary Ann Leonards, Josie Thevis and Dot Leger.
Some of the altar boys present at the meeting served for the first time when Father J. William Ohlenforst celebrated his first Mass in December, 1945. Others present served through the ensuing years. One started serving for the first time this year. In all, the group represented a span of 68 years of dedicated service to St. Leo IV Church in Roberts Cove.
They were asked to prepare their stories in writing, as well as submit their 4 x 6 pictures, for the next meeting to be held at the Museum on Sunday, August 11, after 9:00 a.m. Mass. Altar servers who were unable to attend the initial meeting are encouraged to attend the August 11 meeting.

THE RELIGION gravy-train is beginning to roll. Vast resources are being made available to study religion from a myriad angles, most notably security. Islamic extremism – 9/11, 7/7 and the nightmare fall-out of America's hapless foreign adventures – sparked a thousand religion research projects, not least being the £340million Global Uncertainties Programme.
Religion is trendy. (Not Christianity of course. Not church. Perish the thought.) But any shaven-headed sociologist with an ear-ring, any hijabbed and articulate 'outreach worker', any multi-faith professional in fact will look oddly at you if you mention the traditional reticence of the British about faith. Good grief. Even the leader of the English Defence League is 'taking religious instruction' from the sheikh - Usama Hasan - who runs Quilliam Foundation.
We are at the end of the secularist era. The New Religious Era is upon us.
This is now so obvious that even to say so in a meeting of religion academics is to invite waspish rebuke to the effect of 'What planet have you been on all your life?' When in fact, it was not only not obvious even ten years ago, but downright subversive to say so.
In 2004 I wrote the following for a learned journal after a decade of wrestling with these things for my doctorate:
'The time may not be far hence, post-September 11, when what is known as secularization will seem an absurdly inadequate and antiquated notion. However, the overt religiousness of immigrants was still so strange a phenomenon to ethnic Europeans in 1998 that a Council of Europe Seminar in Strasbourg on 24 – 26 November produced a resolution that the term 'secular' should be re-examined in light of immigration. The document stated that,
The use of the term 'secular', referring to the relationship between the State and religion should be re-examined and clarified on a pan-European level, with a view to reaching a common understanding. The presence of minority religious communities and the resulting religious pluralism makes it necessary to device [sic] new State policies in this field. A further Seminar would be an excellent occasion to define the element of such policies in cooperation with representatives of the religious communities concerned (EV 1998:4). (Political Theology Journal Volume 5:3.)
Lapido Media, funded by private donation, was one small contribution to the new religious discourse, encouraging colleagues in the media to break the professional taboos on faith. Such taboos included the absolute bar on acknowledging that religion had anything to do with the way things worked or not - with 'the story' in other words. And the refusal to use sources with an overt faith. This was 'bias'. You could quote Medicins sans Frontieres, parachuted into a crisis the week before, but not the indigenous churchmen or women grimly holding the line between chaos and hope year in year out.
It's only the BBC that doesn't seem to get it still, indicating the strength of the ideological grip that has kept it so at odds with British culture over the years. The good old Sunday Programme on Radio 4 keeps using the cliché otherwise heard only in the pulpits of Anglican clergy: '. . . our increasingly secular society …'
It just ain't so. Politically, and in terms of governance, we are de-secularizing, and have been since 1988 when Thatcher set up the Inner City Task Forces to get serious about integrating the religious migrants stranded there in great deprivation and mutual incomprehension.
However, we are not desecularizing along the path we secularized. We are de-secularizing along an Islamic path – a changing Islam of course, but Islam nonetheless.
Two comments we might read as signs of these times:
Majid Nawaz, Pakistani former Hizb-ut-Tahrir recruiting sergeant who did time in a Cairo gaol accused of seeking to overthrow the government, who now chairs the world-famous Quilliam Foundation, is to give 'training in democracy' to English working-class lads from Luton – as he told a press conference in Bloomsbury two weeks ago.
And a former copper, Nick Parke who handled 'domestic terrorism' before taking on the post of Director of INFORM, the think tank on new religious movements (there are currently 1,000 in the UK apparently), tells me 'secularization is just indifference'.
An intern of mine once argued ferociously with me that 'atheism' – for which secularism was the deliberate euphemism of the Marxist left – is the default position of human thought. That's what he'd been taught at school and on his philosophy course at Reading University. When in fact, even a policeman knows we are spiritual at core, and to ignore it is to reap the whirlwind.

Distant Horizon's Anant
Singh and Brian Cox are producers of the Dimension Films production
of Pulse, a remake of the Kiyoshi Kurosawa Japanese
horror film that Jim Sonzer directed, with Kirsten Bell and Ian
Somerhalder starring.
Currently in post-production
is the Arab-American drama American East starring,
Tony Shalhoub, the Emmy-winning star of the hit series Monk, Kais
Nashef, lead actor in the international hit and Oscar-nominated
Palestinian film, Paradise Now and Egyptian-American actor Sayed
Badreya. Badreya co-wrote the script with director Hesham Issawi.
Singh and Distant Horizon's Brian Cox are producers, along
with partners Mohannad Malas and Ahmad Zahra of Tala Corp. American
East examines long-held misunderstandings about Arab culture and
puts a human face on a segment of this American population that
is presently in the spotlight. The story highlights the pressures
under which many Arab-Americans live today.
Distant Horizon recently
acquired the worldwide rights to the gripping docu-feature,
The Journalist And The Jihadi: The Murder Of Daniel Pearl
which tracks the parallel lives of Wall Street Journal reporter
Daniel Pearl and jihadi Omar Sheikh. Both highly educated individuals
from privileged backgrounds, the two men saw the world differently,
but with seemingly similar passion and commitment. One was a humanist,
who spent most of his career reporting from the Islamic world on
a quest to promote cross-cultural understanding; the other was a
militant who ultimately chose a deeply violent path to express his
views. After 9/11, their paths crossed in Pakistan, with tragic
consequences. The film will its world premiere at the Tribeca Film
Festival in New York in April 2006.
Chain of Desire,
which stars Linda Fiorentino, Malcolm McDowell, Grace Zabriskie,
Seymour Cassel and Patrick was shot entirely on location in New
York City. The Film opened theatrically in the United States in
1993 and was distributed by October Films.
Dead Beat, produced by Distant Horizon
in association with actor Christopher Lambert, was shot in Arizona.
The picture, starring Bruce Ramsay, Natasha Wagner and Balthazar
Getty premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1994.
Distant Horizon successfully distributed
Sarafina based on the acclaimed Broadway musical that has
toured the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Europe. The script was written
by award winning writer William Nicholson and starred Oscar winner
Whoopi Goldberg. It was released by Hollywood Pictures in the U.S.
and by Warner Brothers in the U.K.
In 1993, Distant Horizon produced The
Mangler in association with Anant Singh and Allied Film Productions,
starring Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street - parts 1-5) and
Ted Levine (The Silence of the Lambs). The script, based on a short
story by Stephen King, is co-written by, among others, Tobe Hooper
(Poltergeist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), who also directed the film.
The special effects on this film are by an award-winning team of
Hollywood talent whose credits include Super Mario Brothers, Beetlejuice,
Aliens, Predator and The Addams Family.
Distant Horizon acquired the international
distribution rights for "Yankee Zulu", a comedy
made in South Africa. The company re-scored and re-edited the film
to make it more commercial and appealing to international audiences.
"Yankee Zulu" was released by Columbia Tristar in Germany
where it grossed $ 3 million at the box office.
The BBC Films co-production Captives
was directed by Angela Pope, starring Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs,
Pulp Fiction) and Julia Ormond (Legends of the Fall, First Knight
and Sabrina). The picture was selected as the opening film in the
Venetian Nights section of the 1994 Venice Film Festival, in addition
to its selection for Gala Presentation at the 1994 Toronto Film
Festival. Captives was released by Entertainment in the U.K. and
by Miramax Films in the United States.
Cry, The Beloved Country
is Distant Horizons most significant feature film. Seven years
ago they bid aggressively and acquired the coveted film rights to
Alan Patons profound literary classic Cry, The Beloved Country,
but delayed production until South Africa attained democracy. Patons
story was adapted for screen by Oscar nominee Ronald Harwood (The
Dresser, The Browning Version) and directed by Darrell James Roodt.
The film stars Academy Award nominees James Earl Jones (The Great
White Hope) and Richard Harris (This Sporting Life and The Field)
and a stellar local cast including Vusi Kunene (The Line), Leleti
Khumalo (Sarafina!) and Abigail Kubeka. The music is scored by five-time
Academy Award winner, John Barry (Dances With Wolves, Out Of Africa,
Born Free and The Lion In Winter).
Scorpion Spring, produced
by Distant Horizon and shot in Arizona, charts the emotional journey
of an American youth Zac, as he is swept up in an intricate, RASHOMON
- like desert flight involving the Border Patrol and tow Mexican
aliens whom he thoughtlessly tries to assist. The film stars Alfred
Molina, Ruben Blades, Esai Morales and Matthew McConaughey and was
scored by the award-winning Lalo Shifrin.
Face, a co-production with BBC Films
and directed by Antonia Bird (Priest) and stars Robert Carlyle (Priest,
Trainspotting and The Full Monty) as well as Ray Winstone and Damon
Alburn (lead singer of the rock group Blur). Face is about a group
of London thieves who rob an armoured car, but are forced to close
ranks when one member double-crosses them and steals the loot. The
film premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival in August 1997, and
was selected for the Renaissance Section of the Venice Film Festival
and had a special presentation screening at the Toronto Film Festival.
Bravo Two Zero co-produced
with the BBC and based on the multi-million best selling book by
Andy McNab was shot in South Africa. It is the story of a crack
SAS troop, that embarked on a top secret mission, in January 1991,
to infiltrate Iraqi territory and sever strategic communication
lines between Baghdad and North West Iraq and to seek and destroy
mobile SCUD launchers. Bravo Two Zero is an awe-inspiring account
of a troop of Special Forces with exceptional courage and endurance
in the face of overwhelming adversity. Sean Bean (Golden Eye &
Anna Karenina) stars as Sergeant Andy McNab and the film is directed
by multi-award winning director Tom Clegg.
The Theory of Flight
starring Helena Bonham Carter and Kenneth Branagh was shot in Cardiff
and London, is a darkly comic film that charts the outlandish relationship
that grows between a young woman, Jane (Bonham-Carter) afflicted
by Motor Neurone Disease and her reluctant and somewhat eccentric
care-giver, Richard Hopkins (Brannagh). The film was also co-produced
with the BBC and was directed by Paul Greengrass.
In 1998, Distant Horizon co-produced Get
Real with Graphite Films in association with British Screen
and The Arts Council of England. The film follows the fate of a
group of teenagers in Basingstoke as they dance their way through
the minefield of adolescence and their sexual orientation. Sixteen
year old Steven Carter is finding it increasingly difficult to reconcile
life in the Sixth Form with the pressure of his parents aspirations
and his own inner state of hormonal overdrive. The film features
a remarkable line up of young British talent, including Ben Silverstone
(The Browning Version, Lolita) Brad Gorton, Charlotte Brittain,
Tim Harris, Stacy Hart, Kate McEnery and James D. White and marks
the directorial debut of helmer Simon Shore. Get Real won the Standard
Life Audience Award at the 1998 Edinburgh Film Festival and scooped
the main prizes at the Ninth British Film Festival of Dinard, viz.
Trophee Hitchcock dor (The Jury Prize), Trophee Hitchcock
(The Audience Award) and the Trophee Hitchcock Kodak (The Cinematography
