So the big question for Sony's TVs in 2013 is simply this: how do you follow 2012's multi-award winning Sony Bravia HX853 series? One answer is to go 4K, as Sony will in just a couple of months time with the eagerly awaited launch of its new 55-inch and 65-inch X900 models.
Another more mainstream option, though, is to do what the W905A series (as represented here be the 55-inch Sony Bravia KDL-55W905A) does: introduce a new technology that has the potential to take LCD picture quality to places it has never been before.
We'll get onto that new technology in a moment, but first thing you notice when you pop the Sony Bravia KDL-55W905A out of its box is that Sony has finally jumped fully aboard the 'super slim' bandwagon. The frame round the screen is only just more then one centimetre wide - its slimness exaggerated by the set's angular aesthetic. Plus Sony has got its catwalk mojo on by introducing a sliver of quartz crystal in the TV's top edge, angled so that it catches the light with a distinctive bluish hue.
Also notable is the surprisingly small and glinting silver circular desk mount, and an intriguing mirror-finished little rectangle hanging from the centre of the screen's bottom edge. As well as looking hip, it houses some of the TV's key electronics, and also adjusts the colour it emits from its bottom side according to what input or what feature you're using.
In summation, it's a stunning looking TV that would look great in any living room.
But let's back to that new technology. Sony calls this new tech Triluminos - as named by Sony's People Who Come Up With Fancy Names For Stuff team. And despite its 'groovy' name, its aim is simple: to widen the colour gamut beyond ordinary TVs so that colours are richer, more intense and more nuanced than ever before. It doesn't aim low.
Triluminos works by applying colour filters directly to the LEDs ranged around the screen's edge – a procedure that should counter LCD's usual tendency to exaggerate blue tones, as well as expanding the colour gamut along the lines we've already described. The only potential downside to the feature is that, since it's a hardware creation, if you don't like it, you can't turn it off…
Triluminos is the most attention-grabbing of the W9 series' new features, but it's certainly not the only important one. Another is the set's use of Sony's latest X-Reality Pro picture processing system. It reduces the number of processing chips it uses from three to two for enhanced efficiency and cheaper production, and it improves still further the effectiveness of the unique 'database' approach that's served it so well on previous TVs.
This database system lets X-Reality Pro improve the speed, accuracy and overall effectiveness of its video processing. It matches pixels patterns in what you're watching against a huge library of previously identified pixel patterns, providing a shorthand way for the TV to arrive at the optimum settings for any type of source it encounters.
Without X-Reality, Sony's processing would have to try to calculate the best response to incoming content from scratch and on the hoof, making it less likely to deliver such – hopefully! – accurate and satisfying results.
We'll have a full, in-depth review of Sony's smart TV soon, so we'll keep things reasonably brief here.
Mercifully, Sony has dispensed with its increasingly tortuous Xrossbar Media onscreen menus in favour of a combination of a 'Smart Hub' (accessed via the Sony Entertainment Network button on Sony's latest remote controls) and a graphically rich setup menu GUI. We were pleased to note, too, that the menus run appreciably faster than those of last year's smart TVs, making the whole experience feel much slicker.
It's a shame, though, that the Sony Entertainment Network (SEN) lacks structure. It's just a long, 21-row deep, list of icons with no means of filtering apps by type or even changing their running order. Bizarrely, you can establish a vaguely customised running order, but only if you access the SEN via the main TV menu rather than the smart hub! It doesn't scream of clear thinking.
The list of apps is long and varied, and there's a healthy focus on video streaming rather than filler apps you'll never use. Highlights include Sony Video Unlimited (films and TV on-demand), Sony Music Unlimited (Sony's Spotify rival), Sony PlayMemories, the BBC iPlayer, Demand 5, BBC News, Sky News, Love Film, Netflix, BBC Sport, Sony Entertainment Television, Crackle, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa, and Sony's 3D Experience channel.
Despite the rather cumbersome nature of the main SEN menu, the Sony Bravia KDL-55W905A does have a trio of rather cool tricks up its sleeves. First there's a new and decently sophisticated control and content-sharing 'TV SideView' app for iOS and Android; second, a 'Fast Zapp' menu that lets you quickly and simply skim through TV channel, radio station and even video on demand content listings while still watching a reduced version of the TV picture; and third, an extra remote control with NFC (Near Field Communication) enabling simple 'touch and screen mirror' compatibility with NFC-enabled mobile devices.
And should you rather view content stored on a USB flash drive or other device, USB streaming and DLNA network streaming are present, too.
Excellent review. Not to mention its the first review I've found of the 55W905A. X-Reality Pro Engine looks great . Looking forward to demo it. Only thing I'm unsure about is the remote control.
It comes with the standard Sony remote control too, that's just a mini basic one for users who don't want all the functions all the time.
Great review, 7 ms of input lag is just amazing !
Yesterday 9/10, today 10/10 how can you can You explain it? ;)
That is a Great Review, but what is with the Points:
1. DSE ( Dirty Screen Effect)
2. Clouding or Flashlights
And what for settings use for the Review?
( sry for bad english :D )
We've added update to end of this review. I made a mistake when uploading the review from our tester and put the wrong score on. Apologies for the confusion.
Does the 55W905A have a 4oD and ITV player apps? Shame it doesn't have a Spotify app.
Hey TrustedAndy, you should maybe add more insight to the Triluminous technology and how it is powered using quantum technology.
"Triluminos uses blue LEDs, but instead of coating them with a yellow phosphor, the blue light from the LEDs passes through the Color IQ optical element containing red and green quantum dots. So the blue LEDs have two functions: create blue light, but also energize red- and green-emitting quantum dots so they in turn can create red and green light. About two-thirds of the light created by the blue LEDs is used to excite the QDs.
When (if?) the 40 inch version drops under £1000 I am getting this! This may be next year, unfortunately...
mll 0.03 cd/m2?
Just in quality of picture, how does it stack against the Philips 46PFL9707?
gamers rejoice
7 ms input lag? Finally, after all these years a led tv came out that can actually compete with a cheap lcd monitor. If only it would be 60 inch and cheaper.
It must be really impressive to play battlefield 3 on this tv.
what about settings for dark room bd viewing??
gamma is better left on "0" or lower? thx
How can you give a 10/10 score when there are cons?
No product is ever perfect. For us, a 10/10 means the product sets an outstanding reference: as good as you could possibly get within reason.
"there's certainly still room for improvement" and an overall 10/10!!
I guess the perfect products get 11/10.
Hi, thinking of replacing an old 46" Philips with a new set. Here in Singapore, we get the KDL-55W904A and also a KDL-55W954A. Are these the same as the W905A reviewed here? Can anyone tell me what the difference between a W904 and a W954 is?
Also, if the 4K KD55X9004A is within budget, should I go for that or save the cash. My normal use is satellite TV and movies streamed through a NAS. Some occasional gaming of Final Fantasy type games on the PS3. Would appreciate any inputs. Thanks!
This TV is absolutely amazing, it's perfect! I mainly use it for gaming and the input lag being so low really makes a difference, I've been knocking seconds off my lap times on Most Wanted. The quality of the display is mind blowing too. As for the viewing angles, there is no problem at all, you'd have to have an odd shaped room to be sitting wide enough for it to affect the viewing.
let me knew about this screen vessel mount 400x400 or 600x400..???
Had mine for a week now. Did look at the 4K TV's but couldn't justify the £3k+ price tag with no real content to watch. Upgraded from a 42" Panasonic plasma that cost £1,500 6 years ago. The picture is amazing with just a little ghosting sometimes visible. Watched Hugo in 3D last night and bar the fact I hate 3D glasses (and I wear glasses!) was really impressed. Also, unlike the reviewer, got the 3D glasses to work out of the box without any issues. What I do disagree with the review is that the sound quality is appalling. Really tinny even with the bass turned up. With the old Panasonic, you could easily watch TV and not worry too much about the sound unless you were watching a film. With the Sony and I guess all these ultra thin screens, you'll need a sound bar or surround speakers. So am using my old Panasonic DVD £250 surround system which works very well. Just got to save up now for the Sonos sound bar and sub!
I have Xbox One and BF4 and the game looks amazing and plays very naturally on this TV. I cannot get over how good the picture is and how rich all the colors are...
Hi peeps, looking for answers. Bought kdl55w 905a great price may I add..but I seem to be getting a static discharge on the surround (edge) of TV. Eg like a buzzing but only when touched slightly by hand or if you touch your ear to it.. Sounds daft but it's not a noise. And with this it has created a lag effect on tablet,phone and xbox 1. As I'm using my tablet to write this post it's hesitant. Can anyone explain this. I'm not sure if it's a frequency issue or its to do with my broadband. Even electricians are stumped to what it could be. I'm pulling hair out to find an answer..plz plz help..

The Zingle Zingers is a consort of viols brought together by Sarah Groser in 2012.
The name is taken from "A Catch for Three Voices in Commendation of the Viol" by Henry Purcell. In this 'catch' (or 'round' as we might say nowadays) Purcell describes the sound of the viol in various ways, including "zingle zingle zing".
Driven by enthusiasm for playing viol consort music together they are a flexible group, since their repertoire encompasses music of between two and six parts, and they also work with singers in programmes of Consort Songs and Verse Anthems.
Before coming to live in Ireland Sarah played in English groups including Fretwork, The Rose Consort and Sonnerie. Each of the Zingle Zingers has also been active in various chamber and orchestral groups, including The Irish Chamber Orchestra, The Irish Baroque Orchestra, Camerata Kilkenny, The Irish Consort, Dublin Viols and The Crash Ensemble.

Hornets 90, Celtics 78: Al-Farouq Aminu scored 18 points to lead five players in double figures as visiting New Orleans helped Austin Rivers win a family affair in the fourth father-son matchup in NBA history.
Robin Lopez had 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting and Greivis Vasquez chipped in 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets, who overcame the absence of Eric Gordon (sore knee) to post their sixth win in seven outings.
Kevin Garnett had a team-high 15 points and Paul Pierce mustered just 12 on 5-of-16 shooting for the Celtics, who saw their six-game winning streak come to an end.
New Orleans took advantage of Boston's struggles from the field in the fourth quarter (7-of-23) to pull away. The Hornets also excelled at the free-throw line, finishing 26-for-31.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Rivers received a nice round of applause upon entering the contest at the 4:19 mark of the first quarter. Rivers, who entered the game 0-for-9 from the field in his last five contests, finished with eight points on 3-of-6 shooting against the Celtics, who are coached by his father, Doc. ... Garnett (24,824) moved past Patrick Ewing for 16th place on the NBA all-time scoring list. ... Hornets G Brian Roberts rolled his left ankle while driving to the basket in the first quarter. He did not return.

First win puts Bears in title game
First win puts Bears in title game
WESTERLY — Stonington High's boys' basketball team earned a date with Westerly in the WCCU Holiday Basketball Tournament finals with its first victory of the young season.
The Bears took their first lead with 9:40 left in the first half and stayed on top the rest of the way for a 52-45 victory against Chariho in the second game of Friday night's doubleheader at Federico Gym.
Westerly defeated Exeter-West Greenwich 62-59 in the opener. The two old rivals will meet for the title on Monday at 8 p.m.
Chad Barclay got the first win of his Stonington coaching career.
"The first one's always the hardest," he said. "We got that one out of the way now, hopefully things will be a lot smoother. I think it's going to pick us up tremendous. I think our kids really needed that first win."
Stonington lost its first three games decidedly.
Chariho (2-2) had a bad shooting night and committed far too many turnovers.
"I'm at a loss to be honest with you," Chariho coach Corey Downey said. "I think we weren't tough enough in the first half. We were turning the basketball over too many times, had good looks and shots didn't go down. It's one game, but it's disappointing because we didn't play our best effort tonight."
The Chargers went 4 of 27 from behind the 3-point line despite at least a dozen wide- open looks. It was almost as if the Bears were daring the bigger Chargers to shoot them.
"By design to a point. It was a little too much at points," Downey said. "We were trying to get it down low, we just couldn't do it, we were turning the basketball over too much. We played very tentatively offensively tonight.
"We've had some games where we've shot 50 percent from 3, so it's not like we can't do it. It's part of our offense."
Matt Donahue led Stoningon in scoring with 15 points. Jack Dipollino had eight. Divante White and Riley Sorrento each had seven.
White was the biggest force for the Bears for much of the game, hitting the boards, defending and even assisting on one occasion.
But with 5:28 remaining White was slapped with a technical foul after being called for a foul on Chariho's Adam Bemis.
The Chargers trailed 39-33 before the foul but didn't capitalize like they could have.
Robbie Toth made one of the two technical free throws and Bemis (a team-high 10 points) made one of the two for the common foul. The Chargers also got the ball but missed a wide open 3.
Two free throws on a one-and-one by C.J. Dipollino gave the Bears a 42-35 lead with 4:19 left. He duplicated the feat at 3:43 to make it 45-35 — Stonington's biggest lead.
White fouled out with 3:10 to go and Toth made both foul shots bringing Chariho within 45-39.
And when guard Jake Beauregard hit a nice driving layup after a bigger man picked him the Chargers were within 45-41 withh 2:44 left.
Stonington's Ethan Murphy blocked Chariho's next shot.
The Bears kept Charger hopes alive by going 2 of 6 at the foul line between 1:45 and 1:05 and Chariho was within one possession at 48-45 after a putback by Toth with 23.1 seconds left.
Stonington inbounded the ball to Donahue in the corner. He was trapped, but the Chargers fouled him with 21.5 remaining.
Donahue made both attempts. After a missed 3-pointer by the Chargers, Stonington's Riley Sorrento made two more with 4.8 to go to finally put the win in the books.
Asked what he said during the many timeouts down the stretch, Barcaly said: "I just told them to relax, they got to come to us. We got the clock on our side, don't make any bad choices, turnovers, let them foul you, go to the line, deep breath, bend the knees and hit them."
Chariho played virtually the entire game without senior Zach Wallander, the team's best returning player. Wallander, who scored 20 points in the season opener, played about one minute.
"He's sick. I don't know what his deal is. He's been sick for two weeks now. He's missed three games," Downey said.

Brad talks about his win against Kev Donnelly
Brad talks about his win against Kev Donnelly
Mike Clarke - Co-Owner of The Fight Lounge. The artist formerly known as Timecrocop
Kev Donnelly is definitely a fighter to be respected. I must admit I expected him to lose via decision to Sami Berik earlier in the year and was surprised to see him take control over such an experienced fighter. Brad's doing very well and has faced some tough opponents so it will be interesting to see where CW take him over the next year.
Didnt realise Brad is only 21, lots of time to climb the ladder and fighting on CW will give him the opportunities to get to the top.
Brad seems like a decent guy, good interview, wouldn't mind fighting him at some point next year, I recon it could be a good fight!!!

WANDERING ON PRESQUE ISLE – – – "Where am I"April 14, 2013 5:40 am 2 Comments
I call it wandering. Wandering is an art that is always practiced outdoors. It is walking, yet not in the way most people think about walking. When I wander, I have no plan, no exact destination and most times no defined objective to my journey. When I leave for Presque Isle or maybe Erie Bluffs or Asbury Woods, I have no idea of what I am looking for and how long it might take for me to find whatever it is.
To me wandering is exploring new and old places with the goal of seeing nature and the environment in the way it should be experienced in the raw and natural. It is a matter of going into a natural adventure to pay close attention to what I see, feel, hear, touch and smell. The idea is to use all my senses. I might use the toe of my boot to turn over a rock or small log at the edge of the lagoons or a small stream and see what might be hiding. For example, yesterday I wandered on Presque Isle looking for places to photograph for a new feature I will be starting here on the blog.
The new feature will be a picture of a place on Presque Isle and asking you to comment where you THINK the place might be. Some places will be easy, and I guarantee some will stomp most of you.
Nearly all my friends that just wander really think they are actually hiking or walking. Many are not. I can always prove them wrong by having them show me the contents of their pockets. I will find rocks, seeds, buds and other strange things that pure walkers would never have in their pockets. Another dead giveaway of a wanderer is that when you ask him or her their hand span, they can tell you exactly what it is. Mine is exactly 9 inches. Why would this be important? That is how most of us that wander measure things in the field. I have one friend who has the ideal hand span of 12 inches. Life is easy for him.
While wandering yesterday, I tried a trick that was suggested by a former assistant manager of Presque Isle, He suggested it to me when I saw him at a meeting in State College earlier in the week. He said to try something an old codger at his State Park does all the time to "test the waters" for fish. He said simply to spit into a calm pool a couple of times and sees if any fish rise to check it out. Well, it works. I tried it in the lagoons and a very large Northern Pike came up to take a look. Fish are curious, and many times will check the strangest things.
What I have learned from wandering is that it is important that when you do it you have nothing you really planned. For example, I was just quietly standing on the Gull Point Trail yesterday when I heard a bird's cry that to me sounded like a heron, so I slowly began to work my way toward it. As I walked, I saw a whole group of fresh coyote tracks. Off I went in the general direction the tracks were taking. About ten minutes later, I ran into an area where the Phragmites had been recently cut down by the park maintenance staff. This was great; I took about a dozen photographs of the freshly cut areas so that I could follow what would happen over the summer in those particular areas. It going to be interesting to see how quickly this invasive is going to try to make a comeback.
Oops, what happened to that heron? See why I call what I am doing wandering. As I said, you have no goals, no destinations and guess what; you will enjoy your walks more, get great exercise and see more of the park and its sights. It does cause you to slow down and see why you come to the park. One of the strange things about wandering is that my walks are longer in distance and time then my normal walks. I will talk more about wandering in a future blog, but until then give it a try.
The place I am walking this morning is easy to reach. Deer, coyotes and turkeys all roam the area. So if you go there, do it quietly. I love it early in the morning or just before sundown. The area seems to be a magnet for morning fog and mist, so photographs here can have a wonderful mystic look to them. A year ago a hawk chased me down the trail because I must have been close to his nest. He was a big and aggressive fellow.
This trail is a year-round delight. Winter walks here are almost as nice as a summer's stroll. This area of the park is rich in Presque Isle history. If you think you might know where I am, send me a comment and venture your guess.
I'll let you know on my next blog exactly "Where I am," Until then,
. Until then,
See you on the park!!

Looks to me like the B trail.
Never miss your blogs. Always somethng interesting for all of us who enyoy the park.
This looks like Dead Pond Trail—which is my favorite place to ski. I drive in from Ohio 3-4 times a year to ski.

Local pubs bring neighbors together, just like murdering a Frankenstein. Sharpen your forks for this Groupon.
$10 for $20 Worth of Drinks and Pub Food
This Groupon is valid from 7 p.m. to midnight seven nights a week, so it can be used towards the nighttime and bar menus. The nighttime menu has rare-grilled ahi picatta ($16) and a vegetarian lasagna with zucchini, mushrooms, pepper, and spinach ($12). The bar menu introduces waffle fries with melted cheddar ($5) and a croque monsieur with cured ham, béchamel, and seared gruyere ($8). Specialty cocktails include the gin-based Left Bank martini with St. Germain and Bol's Genever ($10), and the blanco limonada ($6.50), fresh house lemonade with tequila and lime.
Rae's Lakeview Lounge
There are plenty of windows throughout Rae's Lakeview Lounge, but not a single one has views of the lake. That's because there is no lake. Not anymore, anyway. The shoreline of Guild's Lake used to run down below where Rae's stands today, but the area was filled in after the Lewis and Clark Exposition in 1905. The lounge's name aligns with Rae's goal for the business; though it's newer, it can make guests feel as though it's been there their whole lives, much like the doll you woke up to staring at you this morning.
The lounge certainly feels like it has an old soul. Inside the rehabbed 1946 building, there are vintage photos on the walls (including one of Guild's Lake, of course) that evoke a bygone Portland. At the dark bar top, pendant lights glint off an impressive lineup of liquors; sip on a Rae's manhattan or a blackberry cosmo. The food menu has many classic, homestyle dishes— including house-recipe meatloaf and potpie du jour—but it also integrates some finer dining selections such as Dungeness crab cakes and pork tenderloin. Many entrees pair well with the wines, which includes local barrel wines on tap as well as internationals available by the bottle, half-carafe, or glass.

The closer we get to a movie's release date, the more we get additional trailers for the movie - some of the footage we've likely seen again, but sometimes they sneak in some additional scenes to whet your whistle.
Such is the case with The Hobbit, which doesn't hit theaters until December 14, but Warner Bros. has released a new TV spot trailer, announcing that advance tickets will be on sale starting November 7. So I guess that's a good time to put out a new trailer. Enjoy, hobbit-heads!
The downside of the additional trailers, of course, is that by the time the movie comes out, it feels like you've seen the entire movie. Sometimes when I'm watching the actual movie, my brain goes, "have I seen that scene from the trailer yet?". But maybe that's just me.

Update: Earlier this month (August 2013) I have learned that 2100 MLK Jr. Ave SE now houses a new government agency --- The Office of Returning Citizen Affairs. No idea if the new office has indoor waiting space, I would hate to see more people being forced to wait outside. FYI - the ground floor offices of 2100 MLK Jr. Ave still remain vacant despite TANF consumers still being forced to wait outside (with a direct line of sight into these vacant offices). There also appears to be no update on the waiting room situation for the homeless shelter (run by Catholic Charities) on the Saint Elizabeths East campus. Loitering continues on the street, in front of local businesses, and in the small "neighborhood" parks. Not the most appealing situation for two neighborhoods desperately trying change the negative perception of their communities.
And so the waiting game continues. :(
| All too familiar: Long lines at the TANF office at 2100 MLK Jr. Ave in Anacostia
The line snakes around the corner down W Street SE
Two weeks ago the Washington Post did a story on the long lines at the Congress Heights Service Center for parents seeking childcare subsidy. The article was disturbing on so many levels, the inefficiency, the lack of resources, and the complete lack of consideration for families struggling on the path to self-sufficiency. As disturbing as the article was it really was only the tip of the iceberg of a scene that plays out in Ward 8 on a daily basis.
Anyone who has driven or walked past 2100 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE in Anacostia around the first of the month has seen the lines snaking down MLK Avenue and around the corner down W Street SE. Some days there are 200 hundred - 300 hundred men, women and children waiting in line trying to get service at the Anacostia TANF office. Many of those people in line will be there for hours if not all day. The building's security guards only allow three people into the building lobby at a time. The line remains outside, regardless of the weather.
People should never be treated this way.
Not only is this treatment a DISGRACE but it totally unnecessary The people who are standing outside in the lines at 2100 MLK are lined up in front of windows of EMPTY offices. Those offices have been empty for years. Why are the offices empty? Why aren't the empty offices being being converted into a waiting room for the people seeking TANF services? Why is it okay for people (many with small children) to be lined up outside on the street like a cattle call or a bread line? Why is okay for the Anacostia business district to be presented in this way when this would not be acceptable in more affluent neighborhoods? This is one of the major buildings in Anacostia. It is home to the Councilmember Marion Barry's constituent services office and the DC Department of Environment (DDOE) office that provides energy assistance for people in need. Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?!
|TANF office at 2100 MLK Jr. Ave SE in Anacostia
Anyone with two eyes and a speck of compassion and good sense can see that the conditions at 2100 MLK Jr. Ave SE are not conducive to the services that they are providing. If the Department of Motor Vehicles made people stand outside in the freezing rain for hours (and sometimes days) just to renew a driver's license there would be hell to pay. Why is it okay for people who are in dire need of city services to be treated as if they don't matter? In Anacostia we ask local business owners to be good neighbors. Perhaps we should be asking the District government to be good neighbors as well?
In Ward 8 the lack of proper waiting areas is all too familiar. As people drive down Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE in Congress Heights, past the Saint Elizabeths East campus, they are often struck by the scores of homeless men lined up along the fence. Sometimes these men are sitting, sometimes they are huddled in groups, and sometimes they are sleeping on the sidewalk. Often transporting their limited possessions in torn trash bags, battered suitcases, and repurposed shopping carts. Visitors unfamiliar with their story and with the Congress Heights neighborhood just assume it is just further proof of the deterioration of Ward 8. They use it as another tragic anecdote, another depressing example that Congress Heights is "the ghetto" and that Ward 8 residents don't want more for themselves.
That could not be further from the truth.
Little do most commuters know that those men lining up along MLK Jr. Ave SE and in the park on MLK and Malcolm X Avenue are the District's homeless -- not just Ward 8's homeless. Many if not most of those men are bussed in from all over the city to spend the night at the homeless shelter on the Saint Elizabeths East campus. Come morning, those men will be pushed out of their beds and out of the door to either ride the buses back downtown or to loiter on Congress Heights' main street or in the residential neighborhood until nightfall. Rain or shine, heat wave or snow storm, we see them outside, waiting. There is no interior space for them to go, no waiting room for them to wait for the shelter to reopen, no place for them to escape from the weather, and definitely no place for them to retain their dignity and respect. With no other alternative those men claim the streets, sidewalks, and parks of Congress Heights as their informal waiting room. As the loitering continues, and the trash piles up and the public drinking goes unchecked the perception of Congress Heights as a "bad" neighborhood persists. This state of disfunction also has a very real and very negative impact on economic development in Ward 8.
|Neighborhood park at the corner of MLK & Malcolm X Avenues has become the city's waiting room for homeless
seeking shelter at 801 East on the Saint Elizabeths East campus
Why is it okay for Ward 8? Because we all look alike?
So it is for that reason (and many more) that my neighbors and I get extremely
|In 2012 Anacostia residents and advocates protested plans to open
a women's shelter in the heart of the Anacostia business district. The shelter opened anyway.
There is a general lack of respect, consideration and dare I say planning. I invite the Mayor, members of the DC Council, and agency directors to go stand in line for one day to see what it is like. To see if this is how they would want to be treated.
But until then, I suppose we will all just wait. We know how well that has turned out.
In case you were wondering I am including a list of District Service Centers that are authorized to accept applications for enrollment and eligibility for social service programs. I pulled this list from the DC government website.

Absolutely love this. The only one in the Derby I'd actually wear.
That being said, goodluck breaking the cycle of cutesy and feminine designs that print week after week.
Re: Inspired By Revenge is Mine
nice, fresh and not cutesy.
Re: Inspired by It's a trap!
The artist clearly used the image as a reference and all artists, need that/do that, from time to time. It appears they redrew everything and made an attempt to make it their own, which I think is fine as the skeletal structure of a horse isn't copyrighted. =P
However, (I hate to bring this up) isn't the trojan horse pop culture? =o
All drama aside I think the shirt is great and I envy the artistic ability. =)

It's ... ummm, food related. ^_^ GMV!
On a more serious note, it reminds me of my sister's "puppy". No cute toys for him ... he'd chew them all up anyways. Not too unexpected when he weighs almost 150#, y'know.
Wasn't the subject of the original a panda as well? Wouldn't that make this a remix or sequel or something? Don't get me wrong, it's well done, I'm just asking.

As a camper, seeing brown stuff come out of a hose is never good. Can't unsee.

I would never let a 7 year old wear a shirt as morbid/bloody as this one. Come on, you gotta be kidding me.
I know I love it when my elementary school age children wear shirts that imply penguins are axe murderers. *sarcasm intended*
Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=52704]Inspired by
i love this idea, but i personally feel there's not enough contrast between the grey and the green. it makes it hard to see the design overall, and especially hard to see the guy jumping.

Remove the box outline & have the wires ends uneven, I'd buy more than one.
I think it's well done, but just fyi A similar shirt was printed a while ago.

Right-hander Kip Wells wants to pitch again in 2013. A baseball source said the Mets are among three interested teams, logical because of ties the Mets' braintrust and Wells both have to San Diego. source MLBlogs
Friday, January 11, 2013
Mets interested on Wells on a MiLB
Evan Drellich of MLB.com is reporting that the Mets are interested in Kip Wells. The 35 y/o right hander made a somewhat successful return to major league baseball last year with the Padres. After a two year hiatus from the majors, Wells made seven starts with a 2-7 record and a 4.58 ERA / 1.63 WHIP. Wells is a long way from his 1998 1st round pick or his 32 wins with a 3.88 ERA in three seasons for the Pirates but on a minor league deal he's only depth.

After listening to a history book such as this one from H. E. Marshall, one has to wonder how the subject ever got such a bad rap. What had started out initially as a way for Marshall to introduce the history of her family's native England to her children, Our Island Story has become one of the most loved children's history books of all time. Veteran narrators Daniel Philpott and Anna Bentinck give an enthusiastic performance, taking kids back through all the great battles and all the famous kings and queens, ensuring that not only will kids be enraptured with the wild stories, but they might just learn a thing or two.
Our Island Story by H. E. Marshall is an Edwardian history book for younger listeners (aged six to 12) that tells the story of England, concluding with the reign of Queen Victoria. Antonia Fraser and many other current historians declare that it was this book that opened the delights of history for them. It fell from fashion in the 1960s, but its recent re-release in hardback has seen it become a publishing surprise in the UK, with sales of some 75,000 copies in a few months.
Now, Naxos AudioBooks releases it unabridged in three volumes, divided into three clear periods of history. Though slightly edited to take account of historical changes and attitudes, it is presented unabridged.

The Army understands the importance of family, and in the 75th Ranger Regiment, family support means a strong unit. Rangers who have spouses and children place strong emphasis on their family life. The regiment enjoys ready access to a multitude of Department of Defense and Army programs that support, guide, and form strong bonds in ranger families.
While the pace of life in the regiment is generally faster than most conventional units, the 75th Ranger Regiment understands that balance and predictability are fundamentals for a quality home life. While no one can predict when rangers might be required to respond to the nation's call, training events are normally planned a year ahead of time, and whenever possible, regular deployments are planned in advance. This allows the ranger to manage his or her personal time and provide his or her family with stability.
Ranger families have access to dedicated doctors for routine care. They also have access to special ranger facilities and enjoy a wide range of special regimental family activities and events.
Professional civilian Family Readiness Advisors work full-time at each regimental unit to ensure families have the skills and support they need to be prepared for the day their ranger is called upon. Dedicated ranger chaplains are always available to provide assistance, counseling and support. Ranger spouses are often surprised to find that the friendships they develop with other ranger spouses follow them throughout their ranger's time in the Army, and ranger spouses find members of the 75th Ranger Regiment truly are an extended family.

Shadow Immigration minister Scott Morrison has predicted he will inherit a portfolio burdened with more than 20,000 asylum seekers on Australian soil and offshore processing centres, saying it would take ''years to fix''.
With just under 15,000 people either in the community on bridging visas or in detention centres or in alternative forms of detention, Mr Morrison said a ''conservative estimate'' of the number of people likely to be in the system after September 14 was 20,000 people.
''A Coalition government will focus single-mindedly on deterrence,'' he said in Canberra on Thursday.
But Mr Morrison would not say whether they would be sent to Nauru or other offshore centres, and said the
Coalition would release policies about how to deal with the sheer numbers of arrivals closer to the election..
''We'll be reserving our judgment as to how we deal with the legacy of Labor's failure,'' he said.
''We still don't know how many people there will be; there could be 20,000, there could be more than that
''The mess that Labor will leave behind will be one thing; that will be 20,000-plus people here, onshore, and there's the mess on the borders as the boats continue to seek to come and we'll have to deal with both of those. The legacy of Labor's failures will last for some years, for some years and at some cost.''
Reports have again begin to emerge of people stitching their lips together on Nauru in protest of their prolonged detention, mirroring protests that took place in detention centres a decade ago.
Asked whether it was possible to minimise the harm associated with long-term detention, Mr Morrison said: ''Well, of course there is. If people aren't coming on boats, there's no-one in detention centres.''
In a statement released on Thursday, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said Australian authorities had come to the aid of a boat north of Christmas Island on Wednesday.
The boat, with 88 passengers and three crew on board, was guided towards Christmas Island, but authorities from the HMAS Parramatta boarded and began to transfer people to the Parramatta after becoming concerned about the seaworthiness of the vessel.
''Towards the completion of the transfer effort, the vessel capsized,'' Mr Clare said.
''A number of people entered the water. HMAS Parramatta is confident all people were recovered from the water with some minor injuries reported.''
In the wake of the deaths of some 100 asylum seekers on a boat bound for Australia or Indonesia on the weekend, Immigration minister Brendan O'Connor urged the Coalition to rethink its opposition to the Malaysian solution.
''We need the breadth of initiatives that's going to stop this type of tragedy happening again,'' Mr O'Connor told Fairfax radio.
''I think it's really now time for ... the Opposition to have a rethink about their opposition to some of those recommendations because I just think we've got to take the politics out of this [and] focus on what we can do to prevent the people dying at sea in this manner.''
The Coalition and Greens joined forces to block the plan to send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia, in exchange for 4000 refugees certified by the UNHCR.
Mr Morrison said on Thursday the government plan would never work because it would take just weeks to reach the 800-people quota.

Product Information
Selvage cotton chambray shirt with 2 front pockets, this is a classic work or casual wear comfortable and functional shirt for almost any condition. The Nickel is a Sitka standard shirt fit, cut for ease of movement, and can be worn on its own or layered over Sitka t-shirts. Medium weight 100% cotton selvage chambray is comfortable, durable and breaks in with washing and wearing. Selvage edge chambray refers to the way the roll of fabric is woven and how the edge of the roll is finished. The edge of the roll has a clean edge with a small red/white stripe that can be utilized for cleanly finishing seams and details without serging or folding. Because the edge of the fabric is utilized in the cutting of the shirt there can be less wastage of fabric if the pattern is arranged correctly in cutting. Selvage usage techniques are often found in vintage garments and add a pragmatic and unique character. The fabric is a higher quality than conventional chambrays and the selvage edge can be found in the details of this shirt.
The Nickel has 2 chest pockets with button closure, a selvage edge used to finish underside of front placket, and flat felled seams for comfort, durability, and quality. The Nickel is 100% cotton chambray with selvage edge detailing throughout. Chambray is comfortable and durable, which increases everytime you wear and wash it. Also comes with a hanger loop so it's easier to find the next day.

Mark Young's low-budget techno-thriller has won a couple awards at smaller film festivals and was picked up last week by Kindred Media. Phreaker is one of the first feature films (see also Rhinoceros Eyes) to be shot with the digital camera developed by the Sony Corporation and used by George Lucas for the last two Star Wars Prequels.
"Nix is a hacker, ripping off the phone and cable companies to make a living. He views himself as a modern day "Robin Hood", stealing from the rich corporations and giving to the poor... and making a few bucks on the side."
Phreaker Trailer (downloadable Quicktime)
What really got me interested after poking around Young's Tastey Pixels website, was his next film, Southern Gothic. A film which involves psycotic preachers, possessed children and undead armies. The site is pretty bare at the moment, but the flash intro has some stills/production design work which is pretty solid.

Concrete producers today find themselves in a climate of moderate but steady growth, tempered with the uncertainties surrounding federal transportation funding, rising interest rates, and cement shortages. Accordingly, cautious optimism prevails among the TCP 100—THE CONCRETE PRODUCER's third annual survey of North America's top producers, ranked by 2003 revenue.
About three-quarters of these leading producers reported revenue increases in 2003, compared to the previous year, and almost as many expect to post similar gains this year. Overall, their sales each rose an average of 7% last year.

We all know the type – black people who are proud to be black until they have enough money to run away. Money can sometimes pay for acceptance among other classes and races, and ESPN's Rob Parker is, again, putting Redskins rookie quarterback RGIII in that category of black people.
Regrettably, Robert Griffin III's future playoffs hopes were dashed when his knee gave out during a first round game with the Seattle Seahawks. The Redskins lost 24-14, and questions were raised as to whether coach Mike Shanahan should've pulled RGIII from the game. That was the talk of football lovers until ESPN's Rob Parker decided to open his mouth and stick another foot in it.
Sunday morning, Rob Parker, who is still suspended from ESPN for calling RGIII a 'cornball brother', spoke with WDIV-TV's Devin Scillian.
Parker said he was 'shocked' that his 'cornball' comments were taken out of context.
"It was never to condemn the young man," Parker told Scillian. "RGIII is a great young man with a bright future. It was more about concerns not condemning."
Parker continued:
"It was just a conversation that's had in the black community when athletes, or famous entertainers or whatever, push away from their people. And that's really what it's about. You saw it with O.J. Simpson, and some other people, where they say, 'Well I'm not black, I'm O.J.' So it's more about that, not about RGIII and what's going on. It's more about this thing that we've battled for years and why people have pushed away from their people. It's more about that."
Do you agree or disagree with Parker?

White Space: Be Gone!
If you're like me, you like to work in MS Word using the Print Layout view.
I simply like to be able to see my whole page, margins and all. I also like to keep an eye on the layout of the document without always jumping to Print Preview.
Now, once in awhile, I find myself working on documents that have a lot of empty space at the bottom of several pages. At times, it would be nice to keep the Print Layout, but yet still see the document without all the white space.
That is, to maximize the amount of text displayed on the screen at one time.
So, I think you'll be happy to know that you can remove the white space from view, without actually deleting the white space, in just a quick click.
Move your mouse pointer between two pages.
It should change to look something like this:
Voila! The pages are put together, with the white space and top/bottom margins no longer visible.
You can clearly see where each page ends. It's now represented by the dark horizontal line across the page.
Want to return to the usual Print Layout?
Once again, a single click does the trick.
Move your pointer to one of the divider lines. See how it changes?
Click on a divider line and poof!
Your pages are separated again, with the white space, margins and all now visible!
~ April

One of Britain's most highly regarded modern sculptors has died at the age of 90.
Scots-born William Turnbull was a key figure in the post-war artworld and his works feature in galleries across the globe.
Turnbull, the son of a Dundee shipyard engineer, was also widely recognised for his paintings and drawings.
His artistic career began in his teens painting film posters and he went on to work in the illustration department at publishers DC Thomson.
The young artist's aspirations were put on hold when he was drafted into the Armed Forces in 1941 and served in Canada, India and Sri Lanka as an RAF pilot.
When the war ended he was accepted into the painting department at the Slade School of Fine Art in London before moving to Paris in 1948 where he was introduced to artists Fernand Leger, Alberto Giacometti and Constantine Brancusi.
His first major exhibition was at London's Hanover Gallery with Eduardo Paolozzi, and Turnbull went on to become a member of the Independent Group of artists who met at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.
His work has been the subject of several exhibitions throughout the decades, notably at Tate Britain and the National Museum Art Gallery, Singapore.
The Chatsworth House Trust is to present a major exhibition of his work next spring.
Public relations firm Bolton & Quinn are involved in the exhibition and confirmed Turnbull's death on Thursday.
He is survived by his sons Alex and Johnny by his late wife, Singapore artist Kim Lim.

text: As some of you know I have had problems with the two surguries that I had 9 and 10 months ago. They resently placed me on a new medication to help with pain till I got to the new surgoen. Well it had the wrong effect. I lit up the area that I had the operations. So they have put me on a strong pain killer till I see the new doctor. They are going to do another surgury to fix the problem. So right now the pain killers make me real goofy. If I forget to say thank you or post something that does not make since I am truly sorry. Please bear with me. Again I am sorry.

If you throw a ball straight upward at a speed of 24 m/s, how long will it take to reach zero speed? How long will it take to return to its starting point? How fast will it be going when it returns to its starting point?
v = v0 - 1/2*g*t^2
where v is speed as a function of time, v0 is the inital speed, and g is the acceleration due to gravity
v = 24 - 4.9*t^2 = 0
Solve for t
When it returns to its starting point, the time will be 2*t, using t from the first question. Calculate v at this time (It should be 24 m/s)

Original posting:
Traded for this last summer. Put ~$3k more in parts alone into the engine/lysholm setup.
Rescued it from the previous owner.
Now it is configured correctly and runs great on Megasquirt standalone.
I did all of the work and I have a lot of receipts.
I've improved a few things that the BBM 16v integration "kit" doesn't address.
Boosts up to ~17 psi, no leaks, no belt slip.
Fueling is spot on and the Megasquirt works great.
No idea about dyno numbers, haven't done it. The car does rip though.
It's a blast to drive but now the project/build is done. I would like to put an oil cooler, water/meth, and a cage in it but, but that's even more money that I'll never get back out of it. I'm trying to get out of VW's and I want a bike.
And no, I'm not parting it out.
For sale
Cash is king.
16v 2.0 9A.
G60 to custom Megasquirt harness
Rebuilt bottom end and head. Holds 20 inHg at idle, 24-26 inHg on hard decel.
Wiseco forged pistons w/ rings and wristpins, 9:1 82.5mm (9/15)
ARP head studs
9:1 head spacer (makes effective CR ~8:1)
*Can confirm the stock head was rebuilt: new valves, guides, and stem seals (9/15)
New water pump and coolant hoses
New timing belt and tensioner
New oil cooler flange gasket
New sealant on distributor block off and crankcase breather
BBM crankcase breather with seal and barbed fitting
New beetle oil cap/valve cover breather
New Moroso catch can w/ custom braided stainless -10 lines, black fittings
Doweled crank gear (2 dowels)
16v distributor and hall sendor
Autotech adjustable timing gear
Bored out G60 throttle w/ dump
Scirocco 16v intake manifold
New 42lb Bosch green top injectors
New injector cups
BBM billet fuel rail
Holly adjustable FPR
Press fit feed line with a/n fitting for rail
Aeromotive fuel pressure gauge. (pressure is set to ~3bar)
CIS fuel pumps
MSD Blaster coil. Direct fired from Megasquirt
Autotech plug wires
BKR6E plugs...7E's were preigniting
New idle screw and seal from BBM. ($80 fricken idle screw. wtf)
New factory ECT sensor
AEM wideband controller/digital gauge w/ new probe
VDO vac/boost gauge
New Autometer digital oil pressure gauge
Idle air valve and cold start injector deleted
NLS cold start plate w/ vac port
A/c a power steering deleted. PS pump is still bolted up, just not running the vbelt between it and the crank. I have the pulleys.
2.5" catback exhaust, borla muffler.
2.0 manifold and ABA downpipe
Runs synthetic 20w50 racing oil (higher Zn and P levels).
Ave. oil pressure at idle, at temperature, is 30-35psi after rebuild.
On an 85 deg day the oil temp after pulling at full boost through the gears was only 217 deg F via the MFA. So it does not run abnormally hot. NA VR's can run hotter than that. Oil temps in cruise are around 200-210 now that it's hot out. Coolant temps are around 200 deg F fully warm validated via TunerStudio. So it operates well within reason.
BBM water flange
Godspeed Corrado radiator
Tig'd return flange
High speed slim fans
Spaced ABA water pump pulley
MkIV crank pulley with custom CNC'd aluminum spacer
6 rib, ~80" serpentine belt. It's a Corvette belt
G60 accessory bracket w/ studs
BBM alternator relocation brackets
BBM tensioner bracket
BBM tensioner pulley bracket
G60 belt tensioner w/ BBM adjustable tensioner cap
Subaru idler pulley mounted to the G60 accessory bracket to provide deflection between the alternator and blower pulley.
Gruvenparts G60 tensioner pulley
Gruvenparts ABA idler pulley. Drilled the center out to m10 1.5 pitch with a grade 8 bolt.
The hole in the G60 bracket matches and has a nut on the inside. Much more stout than the factory m8 bolt.
This is a weak point I've found in the relocated alternator and lysholm setup due to the tension needed in the belt. Not anymore.
SR2-2087 Opcon Lysholm supercharger.
50mm pulley. Extended drive for 16v serpentine belt conversion.
Will come with hardware to integrate the blower onto an ABA as well, extra BBM braided feed line too.
BBM braided oil feed line. Runs off a flange adapter on top of the oil cooler. Stock sensors retained.
Oil return line runs to a barbed fitting welded into the front of the oil pan.
42 Draft Design block and press fit hose for sensor relocation. Oil pressure sender and stock low pressure sensor runs off of it.
I drilled out the m8 holes in the G60 accessory bracket and the BBM mounting flange to m10 allen heads. The previous owner had either cross threaded or rounded all four out.
ABD FMIC with BBM G60 piping and some custom bends
Silicone couplers and reducers w/ t-bolt and some ABA constant tension clamps
Copper plated 3" pipe w/ 50mm flange, off of a friend's old supercharged VR.
HKS ssqv bov, black edition. Mainly a back up for the stock throttle dump.
Megasquirt 2 v3.57 Extra
Self tuned and wired.
3bar MAP sensor
Bosch BIP373 ignition driver
Speed Density fueling
No TPS used. Just running MAP based with MAP based acceleration enrichment as well.
Injectors are wired into 2 banks for better resolution at idle.
Cold and warm idle are actually very good. Vac does not oscillate.
TPS line from Megasquirt is grounded to reduce noise. TPS based accel enrichment is disabled.
Uses MAP based accel enrichment.
New Bosch knock sensor with KnockSense knock conditioner. Wired into Megasquirt to enable fuel/timing cut on knock detection.
Red LED knock indicator mounted in a dash switch blank.
Wideband signal is calibrated and feeds a reference signal to Megasquirt for EGO correction and VE Analyze Live. I rewrote part of the simple algorithm and look up table that came with the MS Tunerstudio application. Now the AEM reference signals are correctly converted for use with the target AFR table...so EGO correction and VE Analyze Live functions correctly.
Comes with serial to USB adapter for tuning.
G60 hydraulic clutch swap and brake master
New mkIII vr flex line
New slave cylinder
O2A swap with 228mm flywheel and clutch
G60 axles
G60 mounts
OE 4 wheel disc brakes
Braided stainless flex lines
Corrado HD speedo cable
14x8 widened A2 steelies. Powder coated. G60 center caps.
Toyo Proxies. Slightly stretched.
FK Silverline coilovers
Poly control arm bushings
Stock front sway bar
28mm Autotech rear sway bar
Front and rear Autotech strut tower braces
1" rear axle spacers.
Big bumpers, tinted turns
Shaved banana lights and rear emblem
Single round badgeless grille, red trim
G60 flares
Green Hella Magics tail lamps
FK smoked cross hair headlamps, 5000K HIDs
OE fogs, 5000K HIDs.
Third brake lamp is deleted
It was resprayed before I got it but there are dings in it, and chips from being low that you'll see in person. It happens. It's a 21 year old shell, but is in really, really good shape I think. I get complements every time I drive it. The paint looks great. It's getting featured on Canibeat soon so there will be more pics. I'll post a link when it happens. (still in progress)
All grey Recaros. No rips, no cig burns - front or rear.
GTI floor mats
Stock GTI dash, 16v glovebox, and cluster
Gauges are in the center console
Grey, black, white, and red plaid headliner and recovered sun roof
Black parcel tray
Momo race steering wheel
Momo pedals
Mkiii stalks
Red LED strip in place of the stock cluster bulbs. Wired into rheostat.
Sony deck, Pioneer dual channel components, 600w Sony amp, 12" Eclipse sub
Price: $8000 obo.
I'm flexible within reason. I don't want any cars in trade. Cash, bike, or both.
I don't think that this is a bad price to start at. I don't care if VR turbo's are faster or cheaper, this is something that not a lot of people have. It was a challenging build, that's why I did it. I could have slapped a turbo on it and tuned it in half the time. Everyone I've seen with a relocated alternator on this application has belt slip and low boost. Not this one. Buy it.
PM me if needed.

Ok guys,
I understand and appreciate the enthusiasm you all have for this project. As a matter of fact, I share it, or I wouldn't be doing this. However, after the 100th person writes me, asking questions that are CLEARLY stated in the first post, it wears on my nerves. So, to reiterate.....
Here's the fine print:
1. There has to be substantial interest for me to do this since my boot guy is in Arizona and I am not. - WE GOT THIS
2. I do not know what the price would be.
3. There is no guarantee the boot guy still even has the mold/bucks for the boots. I haven't talked to him. At worst, I would have to send him a pair from my old run.
4. I do not know what the price would be.
5. Like last time, the boots would only be whole sizes
6. I do not know what the price would be.
7. This is an interest thread only. No commitments, no money.
8. I do not know what the price would be. I've said this many times so that people understand this fact. However, I'm sure someone will ask anyway. (they have)
I am on the phone now and hopefully will have an update in the next little bit. I have indeed gotten everyone's PMs and will be updating the list.
As always with JW boots, hot chicks have priority and will get a substantial discount. Oh yeah, Bob too.

Bomber's panic as plan misfired
Page Tools
London: One of the July 7 bombers made three "panicked" phone calls to his accomplices less than an hour before blowing himself up on a bus after his plans to bomb a train were disrupted, a newspaper has reported.
Hasib Hussain, 18, had planned to detonate his backpack bomb on a London Underground train, but was forced to change plans because the line he wanted to use was closed, the Evening Standard reported on Wednesday, citing security sources.
Police have traced three calls he made with "increasing panic" to his fellow attackers, who had just killed themselves on three Underground trains, the report said.
After failing to get a reply, Hussain wandered the streets of the capital and made a snap decision to bomb a red London bus in Tavistock Square, 57 minutes after his accomplices had detonated their devices.
The four bombers killed themselves and 52 others and injured more than 700.
