For a succinct snapshot of just how extreme Sony's latest TV range is, you only have to compare the entry-level KDL-37V4000 reviewed a few days ago with today's KDL-55X4500. For these two LCD TVs exist a whole £3,000 apart - a difference that's sure as hell going to take some explaining if you're trying to sell the idea of a 55X4500 to a reluctant other half. Especially as the 37V4000 is actually rather good within the context of its self-imposed limitations.
The key with the 55X4500, though, is that it doesn't really bother with boring stuff like 'limitations'. Its £3,520 price suggests that Sony's engineers have been given room for some true 'blue sky' thinking - with really quite amazing results.
The grandeur begins as soon as you set eyes on the 55X4500. For as well as enjoying the customary high-gloss black bezel, the 55X4500 extends outward beyond the black bezel's outer edge with two transparent glass wings, within which sit a pair of slender 'finger' speakers. You can even choose optional Obsidian Black or Ruby Red speaker grilles if you want to up the glamour even further.
One extra touch of 'bling' comes, too, from the way the Sony logo illuminates when the TV's turned on. Before film purists start moaning about how they don't want their viewing experience ruined by the sight of a brightly lit Sony logo floating under the picture, the illumination can be turned off if you wish!
The only slight bum note in what's otherwise a pretty extraordinary design is the TV's depth. It sticks out 144mm around its rear, making it possibly the fattest 'flat' TV I've ever seen.
Oh well - at least that chubby butt plays host to an exemplary selection of connections. Four HDMIs, two component video inputs, and a PC jack are just the start of its charms, for it's also laden with an outstanding level of multimedia support. A LAN connection enables you to jack the TV into your PC network, for instance, so that you can play back multimedia files stored on your hard drive(s). Plus there's a Digital Media Port through which you can access pictures and audio from attached portable media players via suitable (not included) adaptors. And finally there's a USB port for direct playback of AV files stored on USB storage devices. Maybe this proves Sony has officially given up on Memory Stick? Here's hoping.
It's not the connections that provide the best excuse for the 55X4500's big rear end, though, but rather the screen technology enclosed within it. For rather crucially, the 55X4500 is Sony's very first LCD TV to use LED backlighting. Which is pretty exciting stuff when you consider how excellent other recent LED TVs have been.

Yippee, back on ice after a luverly time on Grand Bahama Island.
Backward: Just me at first, a bit stiff, took me a moment to get my skates under me.
Forward: Everything else--literally! We worked on forward stroking, crossovers, perimeter stroking and outside and inside swing rolls. All went pretty swimmingly, and it was a good way to get back on ice and stretch my skating muscles.
So--How's YOUR skating week going so far?

Fantasy Baseball Morning Update: Two interesting Astros
Here's a recap of Monday night's Cirque du A-Rod in Chicago. Due to other work obligations, I didn't watch a second of it. And for that, I'm grateful.
First pitch: 7:05 p.m. ET in both leagues.
Interleague DH issues: The A's, Rays and Orioles will lose their DHs in NL parks. There's not much to worry about here, as the A's figure to sit Seth Smith, the O's will be without the Henry Urrutia/Steve Pearce combo, and the Rays are already shorthanded with Desmond Jennings on the DL due to a broken finger.
Streaming starters: Jose Quintana had an easy time with the hapless Yankees, raising our record to 71-40. Today's pick is Edwin Jackson (owned in 6.1 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Phillies, while Wednesday's pick is White Sox' lefty Hector Santiago (4.5 percent owned) versus the Phillies.
On to the rest of the news:
- Josh Fields got Monday's save for the Red Sox. Fields faced four batters in the game and whiffed them all; he's got 11 strikeouts in his last four-and-two thirds innings. After the game, manager Bo Porter didn't make any declarations, but Fields - who has struggled with control this season - has been thought of by many as a potential closer. He's an interesting speculative option in many formats.
- Fields' teammate, rookie SP Brett Oberholtzer, has now thrown seven shutout innings in each of his last two starts. Oberholtzer doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he's a decent prospect with good control. Take a look, AL-only owners.
- Angels 2B Howie Kendrick hopes to miss just a couple of days with a hyperextended knee.
- White Sox OF Dayan Viciedo is day-to-day with a jammed left thumb.
- The Dodgers sounded optimistic on Monday about Hanley Ramirez's jammed shoulder, and we should know more specifics after he has an MRI (presumably today).
- Barring a trade, the Rangers will apparently go with an Engel Beltre/Craig Gentry platoon to replace the suspended Nelson Cruz in their lineup. Both guys bring some speed to the table, and as the lefthanded hitter, Beltre figures to play more than Gentry.
- The Padres plan to use Logan Forsythe in place of the suspended Everth Cabrera at shortstop. Forsythe hits and runs enough to be considered in NL-only leagues.
- Jonathan Lucroy will make his second start of the season at first base tonight. It'll be Lucroy's fifth appearance at the position in 2013, so keep tabs on his positional eligibility if you own him.
- In other Brewers' news, an August 16 return is being targeted for SP Yovani Gallardo (hamstring).
- It looks like the Mets are promoting prospect Wilmer Flores to play third base, and sending closer Bobby Parnell (stiff neck) to the DL. Here's a brief look at Flores from Amazin' Avenue; NL-only owners should check him out. As for a short-term Parnell replacement ... um ... David Aardsma, maybe?
- Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong will come off the DL to start Friday night against the Orioles. Vogelsong has been out since May 28 with a broken pinky.
- The Mariners are sending recently-demoted closer Tom Wilhelmsen to Triple A. Ouch.
- Tigers 2B Omar Infante hopes to come off the DL on Thursday.
- Another good start for R.A. Dickey. Can you still buy a little low?
See you back here tomorrow morning.

I've found a fitness gem in the heart of Clapham … how could I possibly not share with you all! Over a year ago I very rarely did sport or any form of exercise. I had a gym membership which I used pretty sporadically – one week I would go every day then I wouldn't go for a month (I'm sure many of you know the feeling!). But in spring last year I decided that was it – I needed to get fit! I decided to try a personal trainer in my gym – wasn't for me, there never seemed to be enough room to work out and I didn't really feel like I had the encouragement I needed. Then I discovered Revolution Personal Training on Abbeville Road and more importantly – training with Tim. He trains his clients in a private studio which is open seven days a week all day, which was perfect for me to fit sessions in around work. I explained exactly what I wanted from my work outs and he devised a brilliant plan, which involved training twice a week. He also advised on nutrition and gave me home work out guides to complement my studio sessions. I can't actually believe how far I've come – not only have I reached my toning and fitness goals, Tim has also given me the confidence to compete in a 5k, 10k, half marathon and last week I did my first triathlon! I'm still training twice a week and love it! Sessions are varied, fun and I would highly recommend it! For more information or to book some sessions visit http://www.itrainwithtim.com/. You can also follow him on Twitter @itrainwithtim. Tim will be giving a FREE consultation and a FREE session to his 100th Twitter follower!!!

Get Loaded review & SW4
The heavens opened over Clapham Common for the majority of Sunday afternoon but that didn't dampen the spirits of the poncho and welly clad crowd. Despite the working week looming just round the corner – beers were flowing and everyone seemed to be on fine form and ready to party. The music was never going to match that of The Isle of Wight or Download festivals which fell on the same weekend however British Sea Power, Patrick Wolf and the Noisettes particularly seemed to get people jumping up and down and enjoying themselves. Singer Shingai Shoniwa, bravely dressed in hot pants and feathers lead the crowd to a sing a long of Don't Upset the Rhythm. One of the many highlights was French group Yelle who began by asking the crowd "Are you ready to shake your ass for real now?" followed by an enthusiastic set and energetic dancing. Golden Touch, In the Morning and America were fired out by headline act Razorlight sending revellers in to frenzied excitement, with Borrell at one point joining the crowd much to the delight of fans. But Get Loaded was just a taster of what is to come music wise to the Common this summer. August bank holiday weekend sees the return of SW4 Electronic Music Festival, with two packed days of bands and DJs such as Pendulum, Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Magnetic Man to name just a few – tickets are selling out fast – for more information and to book click here.

Blind Tiger
The Blind Tiger claims to 'envelop diners in decadence of a by gone era, taking them on a luxurious journey through an enhanced culinary experience' at the hands of its highly regarded Head Chef Marek Novac. Brimming with anticipation and a hint of childlike excitement, my partner and I walked up to the restaurants rather unassuming black gated entrance, where we were greeted and taken back to 1920s prohibition America. The rich red walls, dark wood floors, contrasting crisp white table cloths and candlelight was reminiscent of an upper class speakeasy, which was enhanced by a live jazz singer filling the room with the essence and romanticism of this heart racing era. Along with a generous wine and ales list, we were handed a golden envelope containing 'prescriptions' for forgotten cocktails. We sampled the Blood & Sand cocktail which was whiskey based, infused with cherry brandy and vermouth – it was smooth and went down deliciously well. And we sipped a crisp Sauvignon Blanc Echervveris from large wine glasses, continually topped up by the inconspicuous yet attentive waiting staff. We started with a crispy duck salad and smoked salmon fillet. The duck was extremely flavoursome with a creative accompaniment of walnuts, blueberries and rocket, whist the salmon was delicately seasoned and mouth-wateringly tender. The pork loin wrapped in pancetta main, came neatly arranged with a nest of runner beans and new potatoes. Salty, succulent and definitely one for the meat lovers. My partner described the lamb with warm asparagus salad and a side of spiced new potatoes as 'wowzers!' which can only be a positive nod in the direction of very tasty! Whilst our Strawberry Eton Mess and Lavender Infused Chocolate Fondant amply satisfied our sweet teeth, the desserts didn't offer any real sense of adventure. However there was an exciting list of dessert wines, beers and cocktails for those wanting to sit back, relax and enjoy some more of the enticingly seductive ambiance. The Blind Tiger 's 1920s theme is an charming concept, it offers a varied and hearty a la carte menu with a dazzling choice of drinks, all with the added bonus of live music creating a perfect venue for a romantic date, a celebration dinner or just a quirky and entertaining evening out in the Clapham area.

It tastes like muddy water and liniment, John Key reckons.
Kava is a traditional Pacific drink, and the PM's trip to Vanuatu for the Pacific Islands Forum this week is not the first time he's had it.
He can't be that big a fan, however, as he had only one "rapid-fire" bowl of kava at a New Zealand High Commission BBQ in Port Vila on Wednesday night.
"I tried the kava. I wouldn't have nine kavas, in the same way I wouldn't have nine beers," Mr Key told reporters yesterday.
The Prime Minister was referring to his comments about not trusting himself to drive after nine beers, which a Weekend Herald photographer drank over four hours and was still under the legal blood-alcohol limit.
So how did he find the Vanuatu kava?
"At the risk of offending them, slightly better than the Fijian kava, and on a par with Samoa."

Livelihoods in the urban biomass sector - realities and threats
by Hannah Isaac
Issue: 49
Journal section: General Article
Download article in Pdf format
This article is an output from a project funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) for the
benefit of developing countries. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the DFID.
Whether it be wood, charcoal or simply branches, leaves and twigs, traditional biomass fuel remains the most
important source of household energy for more than two billion people in today's world.
Associated with the mass consumption of these biomass resources are concerns about environment and health, and much research has been carried out to identify and measure impacts such as deforestation from unsustainable wood and charcoal production, and smoke-related illnesses that can occur when biomass fuel is used in poorly ventilated kitchens.
In the last few decades attempts have been made to reduce biomass consumption through a range of interventions
that create the conditions for 'fuel substitution' to occur.
If measures are effective in reducing biomass consumption, what might this mean for the livelihoods of the many people who serve the biomass trade?...

If you were lying in bed reading a book, and your new wife grabbed a boom-box and started gyrating near your bed post, you'd pretend to be turned on, or at least tell her she was sexy. Not Powers Boothe in "A Crime of Passion." He doesn't even lie and say he's tired. He just shrugs and says something like, "C'mon honey, you're a housewife, not some lady I have sex with!" Now, we all know what's gonna happen here. And if Powers Boothe were J. Walter Weatherman, the one-armed man from Arrested Development, he'd say, "And THAT'S why you don't ignore your sexy wife's striptease!"
The wife, Marci (with a i), responds the way any Lifetime woman (variety: bad) would. She storms out of the house and goes to the strip club she used to work at, hits on some guy, then makes out with him in the parking lot. Unfortunately, when you're making out in the parking lot of the only strip club in town, a friend of your husband's is bound to notice and tell him, and Powers Boothe is none too happy when he confronts Marci on the stairs of their house (what is it with Lifetime movies and stairs?). After he tells her she's a ho and he's going to leave her, Marci bursts into the kind of crippling tears only the star of a Lifetime movie can muster, then runs back to the guy she was making out with and fucks his brains out.
As the name of the daylong marathon was "Dial LMN for Murder," the next logical step in this movie was, of course, Powers' stabbing and subsequent death slouch/"And that's why you don't ignore your wife's striiipppp teeeeasssee" moment. (OK, I just imagined that second part. But it really would have been awesome.)
In most Lifetime movies, it's a quick trip to the murderer being discovered just as he's about to kill someone else. But wait! Did you know this movie has TRACEY GOLD in it? And Tracey's kid sister Jessie Gold? They play Powers' kids from his first marriage, and although Jessie hearts her new step-mom, Tracey HATES her, and knows she must be behind the murder. Extra-motivated because the cops suspect her of killing her own father, she does a little investigating of her own and ends up on the side of the road with the stripclub boyfriend.
"Marci DID kill my father, didn't she?!" Tracey asks.
"I don't know. All I know is that she asked me to find someone to kill him." He replies.
Soon, Tracey and her sis are tied up in the guy's basement, and even though he's not even a suspect in the first murder, the guy decides that the best thing to do would be to kill the Golds to "take care of them once and for all." But Tracy has a tennis racquet, and she knows how to use it! She whaps the guy in one of those Lifetime-fu moments that usually leads to a broken neck (I'm surprised there were no stairs for him to fall down). And with a little help from Marci, who has finally gotten over the humiliation of an ignored strip tease, the Golds are freed and the cops show up.
The only way this movie could have been any better is if, at that moment, Marci turned to the camera and said, "And that's why, you don't ignore, your wife's striptease."
In fact, the name of this movie really should have been "A Crime of Ignoring Your Wife's Striptease." Because really, who ignores their hot wife's striptease?
A Crime of Passion

He isn't merely a perfect icon to admire but an example to follow in how to fully engage one's capacity for relationship with God.
Read Whole Story
Jews and Christians have come far enough to now engage in a mature relationship of mutual affection where we both respect the G-dly calling that each faith possesses without engaging in games of one-upmanship.
Thursday I had what was probably the most unpleasant TV interview of my life on Canada's Sun News Network. Interviewed by host Michael Coren about my book Kosher Jesus, I expected to be asked about the book's content. Coren quickly got to a question that seemed to be bursting from within.
To bring anyone's children into a public dispute about ideas is a gross violation. But for religious leaders to suggest that children will pay for a father's actions by not being able to marry is loathsome and grotesque.
Perhaps the swarm of Jewish anti-missionaries who have ganged up to malign my book ought to consider a new approach to combat the problem of assimilation. "Kosher Jesus" is that new approach.
The only times Jewish people mention Jesus are when they stub their toe, miss the bus or tell you about their theater tickets to a certain Andrew Lloyd Webber rock opera. Two new books will change that.
Though we may not admit it, Jews are fascinated by Jesus. Some are now reclaiming him as a devoutly Jewish sage. But old wounds aren't healed by a couple generations of cultural acceptance.
Friends have asked me whether I expected this level of attack in publishing Kosher Jesus. My response has been that while I expected the book to be criticized, I never expected my critics to compromise their own values in going after the book.
Shmuley Boteach is an old friend, but even old friends can go awry sometimes. When they do, it behooves someone who cares enough for them to try and set them straight. Not to do so is to betray that friendship.
I must retain the right to defend myself against the appalling and libelous charge of heresy. America is not Iran and rabbis in the American Jewish community are not the Revolutionary Guard.
Should Rabbi Boteach be offended that certain members of the Orthodox-Jewish community are renouncing a book titled "Kosher Jesus" and not giving him a platform to promote it? Of course not.
"Kosher Jesus" is brilliant because it factually and painstakingly dissects the historical logic that Christianity upholds as its narrative of Jesus.
Why does all this matter? Because a battle is being waged for the soul of Judaism between a lunatic fringe and those who believe Judaism must always be informed, educated, open and loving.
That's the problem with the knee-jerk religious extremism. It dismisses nuance and seeks to create bogeymen.

Mold on new deck?
I have a 1-year old deck, pressure-treated pine, which I stained 3 months after construction. Now I see a lot of areas that are discolored (black) which can only be growths of mold.
Can that be the case, so soon? I think I may have stained it too thin in areas, because where I edged (perhaps thicker), they don't appear. Also, important to note that it only appears in the areas that are exposed to sunlight. The bottom deck that has the top deck as a roof does not have the growth (which I would have thought to be the opposite).
Do you think maybe the thin layer of OIL BASED stain could be the culprit?
I also have applied Mold Armor and scrubbed it with a hard-bristle brush, and now the deck in these areas looks pretty white (almost like I scrubbed the stain off of it).
Any help appreciated. Could it be something other than mold??
is this particular spot under a tree? if yes, falling leaves can stain your wood (speaking from my personal experience).
Thanks, good call but no, it's out in the open.
Always best to include where you live in your profile, so people do not have to keep asking.
In your case it will be to try and see if you let it dry long enough.

Backstage News On When CM Punk Might Return To WWE & Latest Update On His Injuries
Published On 04/21/2013 | News
CM Punk actually has 4 different injuries to his knee at one time. Punk has a lot of pain in his lower leg but not the knee itself, despite the number of injuries. He has a strained ACL and other torn ligaments.
Before the leg injury, Punk was already planning on taking time off after WrestleMania 29 because he was mentally burnt out. Doctors advised him to stay out of the ring at least 6 weeks. He will not be at this Monday's RAW from England and how soon WWE asks him to return will likely depend on how the ratings are over the next few weeks.

I had one dermabrasion procedure done in '05. Since, I have had 7 Fraxel CO2 sessions and 5 Pixel sessions.In all I have spent $10K+ and I STILL have holes on my face! I don't know where to go from here.Would a type of chemical peel or another shot at dermabrasion be better for me achieve smooth(er) skin? I know that my skin may never be perfect, but less noticeable would be awesome.I hate even looking in the mirror to do my makeup. I am a pretty girl, I just have horrible skin
Would Another Dermabrasion Benefit Me? (photo)

Would Another Dermabrasion Benefit Me? (photo)
Looking at your photos, with apparent "ice pick" type acne scarring, I would say you could get perhaps 30-40% improvement with a combination of punch grafting followed by Co2 resurfacing.
Web reference: http://www.mytotalskincare.com
Treatment for deep acne scarring
Without a full examination it is difficult to tell you if another round of dermabrasion is needed. It is possible the an ablative procedure would give you a better chance at lessening the degree of your acne scarring. There is a longer recovery time with this procedure than the non-ablative procedures that you have already had.

The Bad Guys Can't Shake WebPulse
The Bad Guys Can't Shake WebPulse
[A nice post from Dr. Jon in our internal blog a week ago, that deserves a larger audience. -- C.L.]
The Bad Guys are well-known for rapidly changing domain names in an effort to avoid being blocked. They're like bank robbers fleeing the scene of a crime before the police can arrive -- they're betting that speed and recklessness will allow them to get away with the crime. Typically, the Bad Guys change domain names once every few hours to once every few days. However, there are some occassional examples that take me by surprise.
While analyzing recent logs, I found 1,361 different host names in a single day, all on one server. The domain names were cycled so quickly that most only had one request.
Examples of the names included:
- 02xg3xnd470vlg.sl10.me
- 03dzytydpkdjlz.pm6.me
- 03jwrfm0c7khup.ri0.me
- 04hx9w1ejg06oz.ri0.me
- 05xlxndtsg21dn.ri0.me
- 095cbn20ullasv.ri0.me
- 09dem9xwzi8dex.pm6.me
- 0arqtde1lc7wlw.ri0.me
- 0ctge6o87ywhtk.ri0.me
Upon inspection it becomes clear that there are only a few actual domains (such as ri0.me and pm6.me), but there are many, many subdomains. The Bad Guys are attempting to be ultra agile by randomly creating a new subdomain for nearly every phone-home attempt. But were they successful? No, I'm pleased to report that WebPulse successfully protected our customers by flagging every one of these domains. [When you've been logging good and bad Web sites for over a decade, you've got enough data to reject obviously bogus domain names, and that's what Jon's weapon does, very effectively.]
The Bad Guys can't run fast enough to shake WebPulse!

In the center of the terrace sits Bethesda Fountain. Created by artist Emma Stebbins in 1868 and unveiled in 1873, this iconic fountain features the eight-foot-tall Angel of the Waters, who holds a lily, signifying the fresh water system that was brought to New York in 1842. Both the terrace and fountain have been featured in several TV shows and movies, including The Amazing Race and Elf.

The indoor location market is now accelerating into the mainstream, with new contracts and deployments announced on an almost daily basis. The arrival of iBeacons has caught the imagination, but the reality is there are many more location technologies available, all of which have unique benefits.
ABI Research's quarterly indoor location Market Data, Location Technologies, provides forecasts for all handset and infrastructure-based indoor location technologies, and looks at both retail and non-retail markets.
Senior analyst Patrick Connolly commented, "Many companies have focused on one technology or vertical, but it's clear that both the opportunity and competition is much greater. The industry needs to consider the whole ecosystem and which technologies are best suited to each application and vertical."
For the first time, the industry can now see the full playing field, with a number of key trends already emerging:
- BLE beacons will take indoor location into a wide variety of verticals; this is not just for retail.
- Handset-based location will bring indoor into the mainstream, enabling the market to scale rapidly. It will also place control in the hands of Google and Apple.
- Carriers continue to invest in network-based technologies based on small cells and LTE, which can give them a significant edge, especially when combined with beacons (SK Telecom) or Wi-Fi (Verizon).
- The enterprise/corporate market should not be under-estimated. These markets require much larger deployments and can justify the technology based on business streamlining.
- Wi-Fi indoor location is far from dead, with next-gen technologies already entering the market, increasing accuracy and range, while also reducing cost.
- Handset-based technologies like LED, sensor fusion, and LTE Direct will help to bring high accuracy, consistency and social interaction into the mix.
- Indoor location will combine with always-on GNSS location to enable new services such as ambient intelligence, hyperlocal social networking, and the quantified self.
- The number of start-ups in this space continues to grow on a weekly basis. There are some interesting technologies about to come to market driving a new round of acquisition. However, differentiation is difficult and we can expect to see significant attrition over the next 3 years.
These findings are part of ABI Research's Location Technologies Market Research.
ABI Research provides in-depth analysis and quantitative forecasting of trends in global connectivity and other emerging technologies. From offices in North America, Europe and Asia, ABI Research's worldwide team of experts advises thousands of decision makers through 70+ research and advisory services. Est. 1990.

Dita Pepe (Ostrava, 1973), is part of a generation of Czech artists working while under an atmosphere of intense attention from the West to the country's artistic developments, similar to what happens towards other countries from the former Soviet bloc. This attention is in order to consolidate the entrance of art rising from that territory in an artistic circuit from which it was deprived during the forty years preceding the Velvet Revolution.
As well as many of the artists benefiting from the internationalization following the increased planning of shows dedicated to art from the Czech Republic - ( In 2000 Kunstlerhaus Dresden and NBK, Berlin, showed, respectively, Bohemian Birds - Positions of Czech Contemporary Art and Überlebenskunst - Junge Künstler aus Prag. After these two exhibitions an endless list of shows followed, and finally, last year, Going and Coming took place at K&S, Berlin, curated by Karel Cisar) - works from Dita Pepe could also be widely seen outside the Czech Republic. Selfportraits Series (1999-2004) was particularly well shown in the last two years: Last Year took part in the exhibition Wirklich Wahr! Realitätsversprechen von Fotografien, at the Ruhrlandmuseum, Essen; in the festival Encontros da Imagem, Portugal; as well as in the Moskow Photobiennale, Moskovo. In the preceding year the curator Milan Knizak had selected this series for the Prague Biennale.
Selfportraits is, from one perspective, a speculation on Pepe´s personal biography. Through the staging of portraits of people she knows, whose identity she embodies and by whose side she poses, Dita Pepe plays the roles of alternative personalities from her own, or that she almost had."I feel that everything in life is relative, when I look back on my life if things had been just slightly different, I could have ended up being someone completely different from who I am now". The photographs of the Selfportraits Series are linked by the repetition of certain elements: an anonymous person, their familiar surroundings - a living room or bedroom, a street or a car - and the artist herself metamorphosed: dressed up and wearing make up that makes her as similar as possible to that chosen person and posing by her side.
The ghostly presence of the artist emphasizes the details of intimacy, profile and social background of the person and suggests an ambiguity of the identity of the artist herself. Dita Pepe suggests two narratives: one of going in and out of the skin of the people she portraits, and the other of the personal story of each of those people, which can be presumed through their personal objects.
This kind of portraying places her amongst a number of contemporary artistic positions in which the complex issues of identity are a starting and arriving point for considerations enlarged to a social - cultural context that they take part in. Her metamorphosis is, however, used differently from other artistic positions like that of Cindy Sherman, since she includes a theatrical situation which demands the presence of others rather than the artist alone.

This is a discussion on 09 WRX Engine Failures within the Everyday Impreza Talk forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; Originally Posted by elwray No kidding... mine went at 8k. I was happy; got it over with. I wish I ...
Unfortunately, mine just went last night...about 6:30 on a Saturday night...started as just a bit of a knock on my way home and turned into needing to flatbed it about 20 miles to get it to my house. After researching, it seems to be the spun rod bearing. Mine lasted 18,725 miles, but I've actually only owned it for less than a 4 weeks . I guess it's going up to the dealer tomorrow to get fixed under warranty...

sorry to hear that I'd read through (very long unfortunately) the failure thread on nasioc as there is some good info/advice on how to deal with SOA (and the dealer)

Just dropped Rexx off at the dealership...The shop guy told me they were probably gonna end up putting a long block in it, but they would tear into it tonight or early tomorrow and he'd call me and let me know what's going on. As soon as I told him it wouldn't start and that I thought I spun a rod bearing, he asked if it was an '09, and when I said it was he told me that was most likely it. He actually started it up in the parking space, and within the first second he told me the bottom end was gone and shut it off again. I'll know the prognosis tomorrow sometime...

Well seems like I got the same issue with mine. Still waiting on word back from the dealer. But the noise is the same as the vids. Just got 21k miles. I bought it used about 3 weeks ago. Guess the girl that had it before me babied it a lil too much. It bit the bullet on me.
^ sorry to hear that- make sure you read this thread through and another on nasioc to insure your getting the full customer service due
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
I already purchaed the gold warranty when I bought the car. What else would I be entitled too. My car is bone stock.
ahh- that was the biggie, mine was out long enough (there was a turbo shortage at the time) they gave me $ for a car payment
good loaner car at the minimum, maybe they can reimburse some of the gold warranty cost????? accessories????
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
Yeah mines been gone a week already. They didn't wanna give me a loaner car til they could find out what it was and how long it would take to fix. So ill go in there today and pick one up. I could use an exhaust maybe ill ask for that. Haha or my first months payment as I haven't even had to male one yet and its already back to get fixed. Alrighty well thanks for the help.
make sure you call SOA (if you haven't already) and get an incident number- they're usually the ones in the position to make things right- including getting a loaner pronto
be sure to tell the dealership that you've done so as that should smooth things out considerably
"Simplify and add lightness." - Colin Chapman
i hate seeing this thread pop up..
my 09 w. 08/08 build is at 35,000 and still going strong.......for now
*knock on wood*
good luck getting yours fixed..let us know how it went
Wow, 48k that's scary. I am getting up there with mine, almost 45k now. The thing that really frightens me is the powertrain warranty ends at 60k. I was thinking I was mostly in the clear, but a failure at 48 is way too close to 60 for comfort.
Mine as a Sept build date. Have about 24k on it now. So far so good.
Just bought a beautiful 09 WRX, hatch. Had it a week and heard some bad knocking. Turned out the previous owner had the infamous rod bearing issue. The dealership fixed the problem but apparently neglected to secure the fly wheel. The dealer replaced the fly wheel and the clutch assembly. They said they changed the oil, test drove it and changed the oil again and gave the ok. Got it back and it drives great, but little worried about future problems. Is there anything to worry about with the crank or tranny with the fly wheel not being torqued properly??
I bought one with 15k. No issues. I have rev hang-up as well but I believe it's due to my timing during shifts. If I concentrate it's fine.

NSW Supreme Court judge Robert Austin dropped a bombshell in his landmark 3105-page One.Tel judgement: the telco could have survived.
In deciding that the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) had failed to prove its "duty of care" case against One.Tel founder Jodee Rich and finance director Mark Silbermann, Justice Austin appeared convinced by arguments put by Rich and Silbermann that One.Tel would have survived if a $132 million rights issue had gone ahead in 2001. That's cold comfort to shareholders and employees now, but an interesting hypothetical to consider nevertheless.
Justice Austin suggested the funds raised, along with support from shareholders, would probably have been enough to see One.Tel keep ticking along until November 2001. By this time, according to business plans, the company would have likely been generating better cash flows.
The rights issue didn't proceed largely because two major shareholders, Publishing & Broadcasting and News Ltd, decided not to underwrite it, believing the funds raised wouldn't be enough to cover One.Tel's debts. Subsequently, the company was put into liquidation.
"The company that we spent six years building, was so successful, was in one sense so easily put into liquidation by some very strange things that went on," Rich told reporters outside the court.
Justice Austin's findings seem to sit at odds with James Packer and Lachlan Murdoch's belief that they had been misinformed about the telco's financial state - which is precisely the issue at the centre of a potential damages suit against PBL, News Ltd and others to be run by One.Tel's liquidator.
Rich told reporters: "Hopefully, this will put to bed once and for all the ridiculous statements they made about being profoundly misled."
ASIC now faces a whopping $20 million legal bill, not including Rich and Silbermann's costs which are estimated to be about $15 million.
Significantly, ASIC chairman Tony D'Aloisio has commented in a statement that the dismissal of the case "provided important guidance to ASIC on how to run similar matters in the future".
Rich and Silbermann have escaped a corporate ban and having to make compensation payments to creditors of about $92 million.

She's Moving Away
Doc Love: Should You End It If She's Moving Away?
When Aurora sprang on you that she was decamping for a year to work in Europe, that's when you should have said, "Since you're going to be gone for a year, let's put this thing on hold." Think about it, Levi. This woman is going to take off for a year and ice your entire dating life for that same amount of time. Look at what you're giving up, pal. All of a sudden you're supposed to sit home and do nothing? You've been out with this woman only five times. Now she wants to stop your love life for one whole year. Like my cousin Fast Eddie Love from East L.A. says: "What do you get out of it?"
On the other hand, you shouldn't be too hard on Aurora for the way this happened. Maybe she didn't broach the subject of leaving because when you started dating, she didn't know she would like you, and so there was no need to bring it up. Plus it was a heavy subject, so I have to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one.
She's offered to fly back every six weeks to see you. If you had been going with this woman for six or eight months, that would make a difference — in fact, it would make a lot of difference. But you've gone out with Aurora only a few times. You haven't even gotten to 10 or 12 dates, so you basically don't even know her. Getting to 10 or 12 dates with a babe is really the first plateau in a relationship, as you know from reading my book. You're not anywhere near it yet.
What should you do now? You have to tell Aurora "no thank you." Tell her that when she gets back in a year and if you're still available and she's available, you will date. But in the meantime, too many things can happen. Aurora can meet a guy overseas who can get time in with her while you're here twiddling your thumbs waiting for her. No, this isn't a good deal at all for you. Like my cousin Rabbi Love says: "You have to withdraw your offer."
Levi, this is why my program says no long-distance relationships. All the reasons are right here in your predicament. This woman would be tying up your life, and you don't have enough time in with her to commit to this type of arrangement. If she wants to come by and see you every six weeks, that's fine, but you're going to date other women and not be her boyfriend.
Remember, guys: If you don't see her, you'll never own her heart.
To hear my LOVE RADIO SHOW, send me your love questions, or to find out more about "The System," visit me at DocLove.com or call 800-404-2644. For the past 30 years, Doc Love has asked thousands of women, "Why do you stay with one man versus another?"

One way to show our moms of how much she means to us is through her stomach. Yes! You read it right. This time, it's not about catching a man's heart, but catching our mom's heart on Mother's Day. Interesting, right?
As we all know, our mothers are the chief cook in the family and we have seen how they've gone through just to fill our stomach every day. Since May 8 will be Mother's Day, let's celebrate it by making our moms very happy at the same time, will try to reduce the stress they've been experiencing when preparing meals for the family. So during the special day, let's grab the chance to shine out, make use of our hidden skills in our kitchen and let's surprise our mothers through the goodies and treats we can cook for them.
To start with our sweet surprise, here are the homemade healthy organic recipes I've collected and wanted to share with you. Check it out below…
✪ CHICKPEA, QUINOA & TURMERIC CURRY (Serves: 6 | Time: 1 hour)
500g new potatoes, halved
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp chilli flakes or powder
1 tsp ground ginger
400mL tin organic coconut milk
1 Tbsp tomato purée
180g quinoa
400g tin organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
150g spinach
400g tin organic diced tomatoessalt and pepper
salt and pepper
- Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil, then let them cook for about 25 minutes, until you can easily stick a knife through them. Drain them well.
- Place the potatoes in a large pan and add the garlic, turmeric, coriander, chilli, ginger, coconut milk, tomato purée and tomatoes.
- Bring to the boil, season with salt and pepper, then add the quinoa with a mug of just-boiled water (300ml).
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, place the lid on and allow to cook. Over the next 30 minutes, stir every 5 minutes or so to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. (This is quite a long cooking time, but this is how long quinoa takes to cook in all these ingredients, rather than just in water.)
- Halfway through cooking, add the chickpeas. When there are just 5 minutes left, add the spinach and stir it in until it wilts.
- Once the quinoa has cooked and is fluffy, not crunchy, it's ready.

To rehabilitate a drinking water system approaching the halfway mark of its projected 50-year lifespan, the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) is using plastic pipe and its own crews.
Buildup on the 2-inch galvanized steel and cast-iron pipe had reduced the inside diameter on 500 miles of water mains to that of a pencil; and pressure, which should have ranged from 58 to 60 psi, was often in the low double digits.
Surprisingly, no one complained.
"People don't realize they're not getting enough water out of the shower because tuberculation slows it down gradually," says Luis Aguiar, chief of the department's Water Distribution Division. "When we get a call it's usually because the flow is down to 1.5 cubic feet/second and the pressure is below 20 psi. It's like they have no water at all."
Miami is full of driveways decorated with colored and tinted concrete, which lead to alleys and streets that homeowners won't allow the department to rip up — even to provide better service. Most water lines are in alleyways behind the houses, so Aguiar looked for a minimally invasive replacement method. He decided to burst the pipes and slip in 2-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe that's expected to last 50 to 100 years.
The department is one of the nation's largest public utilities, providing service to more than 2.4 million customers. Approximately 330 mgd of water are drawn from the Biscayne aquifer for consumer use. MDWASD has more than 7,000 miles of water lines. The 20-year replacement program began in 1999.
To ensure control over the operation, Aguiar kept the job in-house, preparing the crew of five with on-the-job training on the TT Technologies Grundoburst 30 TX static pipe-bursting machine he bought for the project.
Once an area for reclamation is determined, the smallest trench possible is dug and a bladed cutting wheel, pulled by a hydraulic bursting unit, splits the old pipe. Then an expander spreads and displaces the split pipe into the surrounding soil while pulling in the new pipe.
"Splitting galvanized pipe is different from eliminating the newer cast iron," Aguiar says. "Galvanized pipe reduces our efficiency, but we make it happen. Because we're doing the work in-house, our crews get inventive. We designed our own cutter head in the shop, and it's doing a great job." The crew simply attached the homemade cutter head to the machine in places where the bladed cutting wheel was unable to split the galvanized pipe.
Though the work is considered maintenance, it's funded through the department's capital-improvement program as a "blanket project" that runs between $250,000 to $500,000 a year depending on need. The existing pipe is being "replicated," not replaced, in a new, nearby trench, sparing the department of the surveying, planning, and budgeting required for full-replacement projects.
"Basically, it's just labor and materials," says Dan Mathews, assistant superintendent for the department's Water Transmission and Distribution Division. "Our labor is a fixed cost, and the materials are small change compared to doing an open cut. Restoration is also minimal. And because we do it ourselves, we're experts. This means the crew is quick and efficient.
"Plus, they care. This is a dedicated crew, not only in that they just do this one job, but because they are also responsible professionals."
The crew consists of five employees doing the job from beginning to end, including digging, running the machine to split the old pipe and feed in the new pipe, tying in the new service to the home, and replacing the soil, sod, and any other patching. On a typical day, the crew installs 300 to 500 feet of new pipe.
"Our largest pull was 550 feet," Aguiar says.
When crews run into gas and other utility lines, they bypass the lines as easily as possible without disturbing them. "Because we're not in there with heavy equipment, we can control the path and the speed of the installation," Aguiar says. "That gives us a real advantage."
"Because it's being replaced in 500-foot coils, even long runs can be one, joint-free continuous piece," says Bruce Kuffer, PE, manager of polyethylene market development for the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI). "When connections are made to homes, or pipe sections added, they are literally fused together, which makes the system leak-free. This seamless, jointless system provides a longtime solution."
The average temperature in Miami is in the mid to high 80s. With the coils sitting out in the supply yard exposed to intense sunlight for long periods of time, it's important that the pipe have proper UV protection.
Aguiar chose Endot Industries' Endo-Trace pipe because of its minimum five-year Florida Sunlife Ultraviolet Protection Rating and its tracer wire, which will make it easier for crews above ground to find the buried pipe. The product is supplied by HD Supply Waterworks of Thomasville, Ga.
According to PPI, splitting an old pipe and inserting HDPE pipe costs one-third to two-thirds less than traditional dig and replace, although Miami-Dade declined to disclose local figures. Because of the longevity of the new pipe, savings generally may be as much as 300%.
To fuse sections of the plastic pipe, the ends are inserted into the clamps of a fusion unit and trimmed. Then they're held against a heat plate, which is removed when the proper melting point is reached. The ends are then pushed together and held until the joint is cool.
In Miami-Dade service runs to the property line where the meter is placed. Connecting to the main is done by electrofusing (applying an electrical current that melts and then fuses the connecting tee to the curve of the pipe) side-saddle tees from Central Plastics. Electro-fusion differs from heat fusing in that it uses electricity — not heat — to fuse the pipe ends.
"We make the connection to the meter and water is running typically within a few hours," Mathews says.
"Water pressure is immediately restored," Aguiar says. "For our customers it's like they're seeing sunshine for the first time. And that's a good feeling for us."
