MimiCof & Junichi Akagawa

& VV Residents:
Vodor L. Zeck
NUMBER 7!! We bring together a rich mix of audio and visual delights from Kyoto to Dublin and tap into the Berlin flow of digital experimentation. Prepare for a slamming electro delicious in the basement dancefloor and a sensual A/V show in the upstairs ambeint floor.
We are Various Vegetables and we approve of the unrelenting pursuit of musical vitaminz.
MIDORI HIRANO is a musician, composer, sound artist and producer born in Kyoto, Japan. She has been playing music since the age of 5 when she used the piano to flesh out her earliest compositions. While this led her to specialise in classical piano at university, it was the less traditional aspects of electronica that would ultimately prove her major inspiration. Making the creative pilgrimage to Berlin in 2008, her productions are based around the use of traditional instrumentation; piano, strings and voice augmented with often subtle electronic processing and digital samples creating a rich, rolling sound that is at once warm and melodic while tracing unexpected musical trajectories.
Her first album, LushRush, was released on Noble records in 2006 and was primarily a collaborative affair, seeing her work with a number of guest musicians to create one of those beautiful, sprawling debuts that radiates a hazy blissfulness upon first listen. Her second, Klo:Yuri, saw her further develop her sound, garnering critical acclaim from various magazines in the world including TIME magazine. She is also in demand as a composer of soundtracks for European and Asian films. In addition, she had released "RundSkipper" under the moniker MimiCof on the PROGRESSIVE FOrM label in 2011.
JUNICHI AKAGAWA was born 1985 in Japan and is living in Berlin since 2010. After a lengthy venture in various musical activities, Junichi started a solo-career in 2008 in electronic music and visual arts . Since then he has been involved in the planning and implementation of numerous events in Tokyo and Berlin and had composed pieces for compilations, compositions for other artists as well as creating music videos.
With real-time generated images and sound, he combines acoustic and visual elements in an effort to engage all the senses, not simply sight & hearing.
On the laptop Akagawa mainly produces rhythmic electronic music and his dynamic but sensitive works resound in the hearts of the audience.
He is currently working on his debut album and also making a collaborative dance Programme.
HURON is a very human-looking life form. It lives in the narrow wilderness of Berlin where it creates it's own spheres and beats. The autonomous scientists of the Crazy Language Music Association are researching the Huron's way of communicating since 2006. In several releases they elaborated that the Huron seems to speak in spheres to cut it's victims off their primitive surroundings and lift them to a crazy abstract world.
AXIOM is the creative head behind Berlin-based Netlabel Crazy Language which focuses on progressive new electronic music and from this position he follows the golden rule of electronica: No posing - It's all about music! So all we know is that he started playing electronic music in the 90's under a heavy Influence of Hip Hop, Techno and Electro. The rest is history written in some Crazy Language.
ALEXANDER BUCHHOLZ is an old friend of the Various Vegetable Crew. He joined the pilgrims of Rock Paper Scissor and stayed to become the master of the spinning tune. He's a walking, funking electronic music machine and there's no way to be sure what styles he'll bust out of his oxygen chamber with. The only thing you can be sure of is that he will teach you a lesson.

A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size images at the minimum and maximum ISO settings have been reduced for bandwidth purposes to let you see the full image, and a series of crops taken from original full resolution images at a range of ISO settings have been included in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.
This is the full frame at 100 ISO.
At 100 ISO the image is clean and free from noise.
Quality is still excellent at 200 ISO.
Some signs of noise reduction at 400 ISO, but overall quality is still excellent.
Still no noise problems at 800 ISO.
Visible noise reduction effects at 1600 ISO, with reduced detail.
3200 ISO is the highest full-resolution setting.
6400 ISO is available at 6 megapixels, but the quality is pretty lousy.
10,000 ISO is available at 3 megapixels, but it's really just a gimmick, the picture quality is terrible.
This is the full frame at 10,000 ISO.
I purchased the S100fs in early May, 2008. To say I am impressed is an understatement. If you would like to see - straight out of the camera images, have a look at : http://www.pixplanet.biz/Po...
Very nice pictures Dave, they certainly look very impressive to me and are much better than Cliffs for evaluation. I really don't know why Cliff uses those model cars at all. I agree with Cliff though that this camera seems overpriced, I couldn't bring myself to pay over 𧷸 for it when I could buy a DSLR. I'll keep waiting for something radical to happen before giving up on my Fuji S7000 and Canon A560. Cheers, Ian
I usually check all sites before purchasing in order not to be sorry after purchasing!By reading almost more than ten reviews I came to conclusion that this camera is realy a sophesticated great job of technology especially by implementing as the Fujifilm's Super CCD 's
In order to be more acquaited with the photos taken with this camera please have look at the galery of http://www.pbase.com/camera....
I was really satisfied, what about you?
Shapour Vaezi Tehran Iran
I've just purchased an S100fs from Fuji's own website.It's Refurbished and on sale at 𧷷.99,less 10%,via myfuji,of which I an a member(membership free).I'll keep you posted as to how the pics turn out.
Agree with Cliff - a brilliant camera but a touch expensive. BUT, Ian Dalgliesh is spot on - I too have just bought a "refurbished" one from Fuji UK" for under 𧷚 and at this price it makes much more sense. Simply cannot tell it from new, it's absolutely perfect and unmarked, and suspect it might be Fuji moving on stock while trying to avoid upsetting its retailers. This was at 10% off (use code P24OCTOBER) which expires 2nd November so you'll have to be quick!
I actually bought a Sony a350 and was so dissapointed with the images I was getting, I took it back to the (indipendant) camera shop. Even with the Zeiss lense, it wasn't much better. The assistant suggested the s100fs and I have found it to be excellent. The only niggle is the maximum 'bulb' exposure of 30 seconds which is a bit limiting for night / movement photographs.
can you explain how you got the 10% discount from Fuji guys? I have joined myfuji and can find no sort of discount scheme... cheers
Update:2/4/09:Look up homepage of www.fujifilm.co.uk.,there see photos on front page.The golden river with two swans is mine,taken with S100fs.
I currently have a lumix fz 28 and am already looking for an upgrade. I do mountain climbing and love landscape and wildlife photography. The thing is that I don't find myself ready (or wealthy enough) to upgrade to a dslr with a such a great zoom. The reason for the upgrade is that even though fz 28 is a great camera and has received great scores on the net, it somehow does not really satisfy me, especially when it comes to night photography.
I can get a Fujifilm FinePix S100FS for about 480$ here in Iran And could also get the new lumix fz38 for the same price (panasonic cameras cost a lot over here, don't know why). Which one do you guys think (especially those who have had this camera) would serve me better? would you call switching from fz 28 to s100 even an upgrade in image quality? note that I can get rid of my fz 28 for a good price (around 350$).
I would appreciate your help.
Still considered a great bridge camera? looking to buy a used one for £150 as this is my budget and new bridges for this price dont seem to come close.

Clayton, you got him down good. If he says terrorist, I will likely crap my pants.Obama on deck to make a statement. Remember, take a drink every time he says "I" or "me." A double if he says, "Michele and I." Bonus round if he says "Don't jump to conclusions" or refers to the marathon casualties as "sports injuries." Smelling salts if he says "Muslim" or "Islamic" terrorism.
Where IS President Obama during all of this ???

That's right what a horrible person he is. Let's make him guilty until proven innocent this is a country ruled by mob not some liberal judicial system catering to criminals just because they are caught they need to be trialed and prosecuted at once. Dual process is for wussies!

FBI interview the terrorist, nothing happened.
He could have been deported, nothing happened.
And Steve King hung it out to dry.

Sure, we need more "for profit" companies bleeding us dry.... Ever wonder why the war machine costs so much, while US soldiers are paid so little... Private contractors.
Again, under many monikers, you're a mor-on.
#454 Apr 20, 2013
This is still a Nation of Law Karl.
The reason he was never deported is most likely because there was never any evidence that he posed a threat. While a DV arrest or conviction surely can be used a s pretense to deport someone, it really isn't sufficient grounds for most judges to support it absent other evidence.
If you're going to looks through the lens of hindsight in order to politicize this and look for someone to blame, at least tell the other side of the story, and look at the deportation numbers over the past twelve years. They have not gone down. They've gone up.
#455 Apr 20, 2013
Only in the tiny mind of a person like you can the American system of justice be considered treasonous.
#456 Apr 20, 2013
Law enforcement and defense should not be privatized. However, just about everything else should. Here are examples of government involvement where the government made the results worse or caused costs to skyrocket:
1. Education: Student loans
2. Education: Declining student achievement scores despite record spending.
3. Healthcare: Medicare/Medicaid
4. Home loans: Lessening of credit standards caused both the housing bubble and burst.
Government is the problem.

I have to admit, the ability to spell is up there towards the top. I just vented to someone about this. Some people gripe about how foreigners come to this country and don't know English (which, albeit true and I do think people who want to live here should know the language, many Americans go to foreign countries with no clue how to speak the native language there because we often take advantage of the fact that many other countries place an emphasis on learning English...I digress). And while it's all good to get all up in arms about this fact, it amuses me to no end that many of these idiots who are screaming "Learn to speak English!" often don't speak or spell their own language grammatically correct. Nothing irks me more than someone raising their concern with this issue then following it up with, "I seen this foreigner the other day..." or "We was talking to this foreigner..."

I'm not sure why some of these people have any issue with whom I choose to date or not date. Especially since I know damn well that they feel the same, only opposite. Choosing a mate is an important decision, especially if you plan to have children. Typically you want to raise your child with certain ideals and beliefs. If those are in conflict with your mate, it could make for some unpleasant years.

I am glad the kid was caught and even happier than he was caught alive. He should pay dearly for the pain and suffering he and his brother have caused.
I'm amused by the rants of certain members of his family who are claiming the boys were set up and this is the fault of the police. The aunt especially made herself look like a lunatic.

#462 Apr 20, 2013
That's certainly your right to do so.
It has nothing to do with feeling superior to anyone. It has to do with being able to respect a person for certain characteristics and for having someone in my life who has the same ideals and beliefs. As I stated in a post above, this is especially important if you plan to have children.
You may not think that political affiliations are not important in a relationship, but they are to many people. Some choose not to talk about it, even to their spouses. Some, like myself, are much more open and enjoy engaging in discussions. If I thought the majority of those discussions are going to end in an argument, that would be bad. As I said before, I spent 7 years with a social liberal but fiscal conservative. It made for some interesting conversations, but I found myself sometimes disapproving of things he would say to his daughter and things he was teaching her. I don't want that to be a long-term issue in my life.

In the 17 years of dating, I've only been single for one year. You find the discussion of politics boring, I do not. I like to hear what people think. I like talking about intellectual things. If you do not, that's your problem, not mine.
As for my date, it was perfect. Democrat, engineer, non-religious, wants children and enjoys craft beer. Quite the success.

Realy that a good question because Obama has chimed and got his face on every news out let's from everything that goes on around the country from local news about a cop bust a black collage teacher. He has to chime in on everything. But on the Boston bombing he has Been silent about the whole ordeal maybe because he has said the war or terror is over and he and the liberal news media is hoping and saying its a right wing person or a member of the tea party but they are complete wrong its Muslims again killing Americans ! The liberals are fun to watch its free intertament.
#466 Apr 21, 2013
Yup, if it doesn't interest Obama he generally stays silent. If this was a mass killing using a gun, he'd be leading the charge.
Or if this involved immigration, or entitlements.
But if it involved the economy, jobs or terror he's doesn't know what to do.
This country has a serious void of leadership.

Can Lyonnais Make Mgm Roar Again?By
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.'s headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., bears the unmistakable marks of faded glory. The 12 Oscar statuettes that adorn its lobby are from many years ago. And one of them is a fake, standing in for a statue that MGM's embattled former owner, Giancarlo Parretti, gave away to a friend in 1990. MGM probably won't expand this collection soon. After being sapped of cash and creativity for years, the once-proud studio is still hurting.
But MGM's owner, Credit Lyonnais, faced with a three-year legal deadline to sell it, is mounting a valiant effort to regain its lost greatness. Lyonnais Chairman Jean Peyrelevade is rubbing his hands at the advent of the multimedia revolution and watching as buyers pay fat prices for Paramount Pictures Corp. and other studios. "If we can organize a studio that produces good films," says Peyrelevade, "MGM will be worth a lot." He says investment bankers tell him it should fetch $2 billion or "maybe more."
HAPPY ENDING? Most film industry sources think that getting MGM to break even will be an epic struggle. The studio has lost $1 billion over the past three years. Since foreclosing on borrower Parretti and taking over MGM in 1991, the bank has also forgiven nearly $1 billion in debt and added a new $400 million line of credit. That means Credit Lyonnais has invested or committed $2.3 billion so far. The studio will need still more money this year to boost its annual output from 8 films to 20. Studio executives are negotiating with other banks for an additional $300 million in loans.
Complicating the studio's problems, Carolco Pictures Inc., which had been counted on to produce big-budget films for distribution by MGM, has also run into some financial trouble. And MGM's previous owners have sold off the rights to a chunk of its 2,000-film library.
The job of producing a happy ending for MGM has been dumped into the lap of Frank G. Mancuso, 61-year-old ex-chairman of Paramount. The film veteran has reassembled large pieces of his Paramount management team plus respected outsiders. Insiders are saying MGM's prospects could brighten this summer, when it releases Blown Away, a Tommy Lee Jones thriller, and Getting Even with Dad, a comedy starring Macaulay Culkin and Ted Danson. Blown Away is already booked into an impressive 1,800 theaters for its July 1 opening.
In fact, Peyrelevade argues that MGM's cash flow should turn positive next year. In five years, he says, the studio will have recovered all the rights of its film library, boosting the studio's value to a multimedia buyer. Peyrelevade is counting on MGM's new cast of executives to turn those hopes into reality and remove a huge burden from his troubled bank.

A.R. Rahman Concerts Postponed After Stage Collapse
Tour organizers and local promoters are trying to reschedule a pair of weekend concerts by Indian film composer A.R. Rahman that had to be called off after a part of his stage collapsed during set-up Saturday (June 19) afternoon in Pontiac, Mich.
Several workers were treated for minor injuries after "structural complications" caused some of the rigging to collapse and damage part of the stage set of Rahman's Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour, according to Chris Kelly, who was co-promoting the show at the Pontiac Silverdome. The Pontiac Fire Department was called to the scene to assist in the clean-up and begin an investigation of what went wrong.
The concert was quickly called off, and patrons learned of the news via the venue's web site and Twitter or were greeted at the parking lot by security guards who told them the news. About 7,000 fans were expected at Saturday's show, according to Kelly. Rahman also pulled his Sunday stop scheduled for Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
Rahman himself tweeted about the cancellation, promising that the shows "will be rescheduled" and adding that, "I regret any inconvenience this causes my fans and am deeply grateful no one from my team or the local Detroit stage crew was seriously injured." He subsequently tweeted after visiting the injured workers, noting that, "It's a miracle that my team escaped with minor injuries The lighting rig came apart Thanks to the almighty that everyone's safe."
Pontiac promoter Kelly said that they hoped to have news about rescheduling his concert "within the next couple of weeks." Rahman's tour, a theatrical spectacle featuring a company of singers and dancers as well as extensive visuals, resumes June 26 in San Francisco and is playing mostly weekend shows in North America through July 11, then heads to Europe for six shows starting July 16 in Zurich.

Judge Second-Guesses the Settlement in Silicon Valley Hiring ConspiracyPaul M. Barrett
Apple and Google got off cheap in reaching a $324.5 million deal to settle allegations of conspiring with Intel and Adobe Systems not to recruit each other's workers. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose ruled on Friday that the multibillion-dollar risk the companies faced at a potential trial means they need to pay more to make the case go away.
This unusual assertion of judicial oversight brings to mind another rejection by another woman judge on the opposite side of the country and in a very different mass lawsuit. In January, U.S. District Judge Anita Brody of Philadelphia inserted a monkey wrench into negotiations over the National Football League concussion litigation. Brody said a $914 million pact might not provide enough money for thousands of retired athletes who could come down with brain disease as a result of head injuries suffered on the field. Her skepticism forced the NFL back to the bargaining table, and in June the league agreed to uncap the settlement—meaning that the NFL's ultimate liability could expand significantly, depending on the cost of treating ailing gridiron veterans.
Writing about Brody's getting the NFL to sweeten the pot, I included this parenthetical: "(Memo to other federal jurists: You always have this authority to second-guess settlements, and you should probably use the power more often.)" Perhaps Judge Koh got the memo.

Financial Software
Financial Software Questions? Ask IT Support for Answers ASAP
Hi, I'm Robert and I'll be helping you with your financial software question.
Quicken does that every so often. Usually it is because of some minor change at your bank and quicken doesn't believe it is the same account anymore so it creates a new one.
Your best bet is to keep the new account as that is what it will continue downloading to.
for the old account you can either zero it by transferring the ending balance to the new account with a simple transfer transaction and that should get you the correct balance in the new account. Then just keep it around for historical searches. Any report except the register report defaults to using all accounts so you wont notice a problem there.
The other option you have is to move the transactions from the old account to the new account.
open the old account. Highlight all of the transactions with the mouse or by clicking on the bottom one and holding the shift key down while pushing the up arrow until they are all highlighted. then right click or command click and select MOVE TRANSACTIONS. Select the new account as the account to move them to. Then you can delete the old now empty account.
I strongly suggest that you create a backup before you try that. It is pretty straightforward but also easy to make a mistake and its nice to be able to go back and try it again if you do.
I'm between medical apptmnts this AM. Thus don't have time to work out option 1 above which seems the most logical. Will work this PM and submit a rating. RSM

#The100DayProject with Elle Luna and The Great Discontent.The 100 day project encourages everyone to join in on 100 days of making. I chose to explore 100 days of hand lettering. Showing up every day is the goal - it isn't about the finished product, but more about the process.It was a valuable lesson in letting go - as someone who is a perfectionist, creating and posting something everyday that wouldn't normally live up to my standard was tough! So here you will find pieces that were quick, sometimes done late at night, with bad instagram shots. The important thing is that I completed the project!!
I LOVE patterns!When I doodle I always gravitate towards drawing patterns. During the 100 day project, I found myself taking my brush and ink and also creating patterns. I love the different colours you get with the ink.Some of the patterns are screen prints that I created a while back. Screen printing is another process that I enjoy playing around with.
Ink on wood canvas. I've been loving the wood canvases lately - usually, I get intimidated by canvases. It's like i don't want to ruin them! Or make a mistake! But with the wood ones, I just get down and dirty right away. If I don't like it? No biggie, I just paint over it! (I have no idea why I don't have this outlook with normal canvases!)
This came about as I was playing around with the dregs of ink in my brush pen. There wasn't enough ink for my hand lettering, but just enough to create patterns.

When I first started working on it I thought it was kind of funny and kind of interesting but I never sensed that other people cared for it much. It showed at one festival in Brooklyn to a decent-sized audience of about 15 (including other filmakers and two of my pigeon men) and one of my subjects, a man who rescues pigeons and lets them live with him, talked to a woman at AM New York, the free subway paper. They eventually published a story about pigeons in the city that included a brief quote from me:
"Young people aren't carrying on the tradition of their fathers and grandfathers," Levy said.
After I showed the film and the article was published, I realized that so many people are totally into pigeons (or they're against them to the same degree). I've been getting emails from pigeon advocates curious about my work. Pigeons are a hot-button issue, a lightning rod, a petri dish. And then tonight I found this: Pigeon Blog. It is narrated by a British pigeon. It offers great insight into the lives of this hatefully persecuted group.

Among Alfred Mercier's novels, Johnelle
stands apart. Released in 1891, three years before the author's
death, this novel was the final book by the great Creole writer.
Should the modern reader consider this to be a work of old age or
a profound and sharp meditation on the self-destruction of New Orleans'
Creole culture? In this pointed text, Mercier unleashes all of his
bitterness, all of his pessimism, attacking without pity Creole
mothers who would abort their children in order to protect their
waistlines, their money, and their free time, so that they could
more easily assimilate into American culture. And yet, for Mercier,
the tragedy was not just that these women exterminated the fruit
of their own bodies, but that Creole society itself renounced its
entire French heritage as it aborted its very future. Johnelle
represents more than a bold text in which Mercier dares to approach
a forbidden subject – infanticide; it's a desperate
and hopeless meditation on the last days of the Louisiana Creole
into which Mercier pours all of the pathos and poetry of a culture
on the verge of disappearing.

Momma says I am ill, she took me to the vet lady, and then when she came home, Momma cried and cried. The Vet lady told Momma I have anal sack cancer, that was three months ago, but I feel fine, I play and eat, and don't show any signs of discomfort. Momma ordered some pills from Florida, where ever that is, and they are a natural pain reliever, I take them everyday, so does my brother Jackson, he has sore hips. Momma says they are a wonderful product, my brother was avoiding the stairs and was kinda grummpy, he didnt want to play with me, I am getting on in years, he is only 5.Since we have been taking them we are doing really well. Momma takes very good care of us, Daddy has been sick again, but he is home and doing better too. Momma worries all the time, about us and Daddy. We still take our walks everyday, and Momma puts Pumpkin in our food for our anal sacks, and also to make it easier for me to go to the bathroom.Momma says one day at a time for me, she says as long as my quality of life is good, that I will stay with her and Daddy, Momma says she wishes I could stay forever, but knows it isnt possible,I love her , and I know she loves me too. I was her first Bassethound, she says I am the one who got her hooked on our breed.Well later. Emma
On today's walk I found something really stinky,I dropped on my back so quickly and rolled in it,before Momma knew what was happening.Momma gets upset with me when I do this,but I just want to perfume myself up,just in case I see another handsome Basset boy in the area.One never knows who you might meet on a walk.
We have a squirrel that keeps coming into our back yard,my brother Jackson and I are trying to kill him,he thinks he is so smart,he was running on our fence and almost fell down.He will make a mistake,and we will get him.Daddy gets a big kick out of Us,cause we run really fast and chase him.Only a matter of time,and he will be mine,AROOOOOOOOOOO

Congress proposes new drug legislation
WASHINGTON - Athletes in the four major U.S. professional leagues would be subject to two-year bans for a first positive drug test under legislation proposed Tuesday that would put the sports' steroid policies under the White House drug czar.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., joined House Government Reform Committee chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., and ranking Democrat Henry Waxman of California in introducing the Clean Sports Act of 2005.
It's the second recent bill that would establish minimum, standardized steroids policies across the spectrum of American sports.
Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican who chairs a House Commerce and Energy subcommittee, proposed the Drug Free Sports Act of 2005 last month, and his panel will write the formal legislation Wednesday.
Magic bring back former coach Hill
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Magic reached back to their successful past Tuesday and hired Brian Hill as their new coach.
Hill, an assistant with the New Jersey Nets the last two seasons, took the Magic to their only NBA Finals appearance in 1995. In three-plus seasons with Orlando, he won a franchise-leading 191 games against 104 losses, and his .647 winning percentage also is the best in team history.
Introduced at a news conference to the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme song, the 57-year-old Hill said he often thought of returning to Orlando despite an ugly parting in 1997.

Discussion in 'January 2009' started by Dlev59, Jan 25, 2009.
Thank You. In one respect he's right. Since Rip has moved to the bench, we've been getting off to slow starts and having to wait for Rip to come in for the offense to actually resemble the offense. Floor spacing is a problem, but not because we don't have two jump-shooting bigs. If you're looking to spread the floor, you don't do it with BOTH of your big guys. You either stop playing Tay 40 min, or start a guard that can actually do something about it. It's beginning to look like it. I don't understand why he's so stubborn. Doesn't he realize that match-ups can dictate a line-up. Sheed's offense suffers tremendously having to spend a majority of time on a big O threat, and not everyone plays MIN D. Not going to start KB? Fine. Not playing him at all? Idiotic. Z is back for CLE. Watching Sheed and Dice on him for a majority of the time should be super fun! Also i'm the biggest Amir fan but starting him only to bench him 5 min later or never play him in the 2nd and 4th negates what he brings in the first place.
So many great posts Also running the offense through Sheed in the post seems to be one of our better options and he doesn't even have to put up a shot. He's a great passer and it draws enough attention to open it up for our penetrating guards. The amount of things we do wrong is staggering at this point. Makes me yearn for Jeff Van Gundy.
I like it when Stuckey dunks on Garnot.

Gulf kingdom to implement crackdown on Thursday in bid to create more jobs for locals
adan Sunday, 13 January 2013 11:01 AM - phil_qatar
I think Saudi's demand on every level of work will be realized, I think also that there workforce is on the way and will be highly professionalized. But demands will surely hire expats today and on the way. A working Saudi will be a good habit. Resources both natural and manpower is busy partnership.
Kaj RISSLER Saturday, 24 November 2012 1:27 AM - sWITZERLAND AND SWEDEN ( SWEDISH BORN)
I like this discussion! I can only contribute a personal view.
Whatever anyone thinks from his personal experiance, the Saudies care correct to promote integration and foreign skills. Howerever like all countries They are tied with history and change is not easy- look at Iran ( and what the Shah did with the blessing of US) and all turmoil in the world. Sweden were I was born had a narrow escape from communism, other countries not. Absolute rule, normally absolutely corrupts-with few exceptions. Change comes - sometimes by Nature - and this cannot be disputed, but change imposed by rulers is a different thing . Very tricky-
I salute Saudi, if they can bring about a change and an adaption without too much bloodshed and misery. The world through history is filed with this.
Who is right and WHO IS WRONG-gives a good true example of this. It is only possible to try and not cause to much suffering in the process. No one is right - and as the English say You try to muddle through./ K
Elham Friday, 23 November 2012 4:20 PM - UAE
Every country must take care of the interests of its own citizens, not its guests. Kudos to Saudis and hopefully the same will soon be implemented throughout the Arabian Gulf. Happy UAE National Day.
Nirsly Thursday, 22 November 2012 2:47 PM - Uae
My friend, that applies to every claim.
I travel to Saudi every month, and every firm I meet has a very high percentage of Saudis, in addition to the numerous international firms outside Saudi which have hired Saudis.
What international standards are you referring to? The ones that bankrupted your financial system, and showed all the frauds in your banks? The ones that have caused 25% unemployment in Spain and Greece? The ones where the most senior members of your government have affairs and disclose national security information?
Please tell us which international standards to follow.
Wildwine Wednesday, 21 November 2012 3:00 PM - UAE
May be you are correct; but why doesn't the government bring in harsher penalties; e.g. restrict visas to expats, strict rules on qualifications, higher penalties, increased visa fees etc.etc.
Because the government wants to promote a free market. With a highly mobile global workforce, private sector will simply go for best value for money, you can not blame them because the private sector is essentially profit driven. You can not blame the expats either; because their intention when they take a job in the Gulf is not to undermine local population, but to make a better living themselves. It is all demand supply forces in a globalized labour market.
It is a difficult situation for you guys, only time will tell how things will work out.
Nirsly Wednesday, 21 November 2012 1:10 PM - UAE
The burden of proof is on the accuser, isn't that the western rule of law? If anyone has clear proof of the weakness of the Saudi work ethic let them prove it. Otherwise be silent, we're bored of the usual expat mythologies.
Saudi Arabia has moved from a country on the verge of starvation in the 1940s to a G20 nation.
I rest my case.YouMustBeJoking Wednesday, 21 November 2012 2:59 PM - UAE
Do you mean besides the fact that Saudi companies do not seem to be keen on hiring them?
Or the very limited presence of Saudis in MNCs?
BTW Nirsly that applies only in penal processes. I think that is this different in this region, really nice to see that you for once are not sticking to the law of the land. Maybe it is a signal that you are getting closer to accept international standards.
However in the workplace usually it is up to each person to proof their worthiness.
Nirsly Tuesday, 20 November 2012 10:43 AM - UAE
Usual bigoted dribble, most expat commentators have not even worked in Saudi with Saudis to judge.
Just keep the usual expat stereotype of Saudis alive to keep themselves in employment. Can't go home anymore back to Europe, no work there.
Who works in Europe? Who cleans streets, runs transport, immigration, banks? Not Europeans. What European work ethic, Greece? Spain?leo50 Tuesday, 20 November 2012 4:41 PM - UAE
must be wonderful Nirsly to have the gift of knowing things with such certainty and having the self-confidence to pontificate in public without a shred of evidence to support your stance.Dubai resident Tuesday, 20 November 2012 4:33 PM - UAE
I think you'll find the vast majority of those positions are filled by Europeans.
You've likely confused the figures, i.e. percentage of a job that are a racial group/vs percentage of a racial group that do that job.
For example, (and these are made up figure to demonstrate what I mean, rather than state a fact), take cleaners. While 40 per cent of non-Europeans might work as cleaners, they might only make up 5 per cent of the total workforce.
Either way, I think there are valid points on both sides.
Saudi's shouldn't be forced into blue collar jobs (any more than companies should be forced to give them white collar jobs). But there does have to be a realisation amongst the less academically adept Saudis (and there will be many; just as there will be main academically talented Saudis), that their careers lie in blue collar roles.
That's just a fact of a modern economy, be it Saudi or a European country.
Mehdi Monday, 19 November 2012 1:48 PM - Lahore,Pakistan
While sumeet's opinions though probably non-genuine, hit one accurate point, i.e. "work ethic", if Saudi government just address this single point about the saudi work force they will God willing replace most expats in no time.
Saudia has large scale oil and non petroleum based sectors thier potential is truely massive if explioted fully.. they can create huge solar farms to power thier industry or alternatively to have more oil for export... , they produce manufactured items at a relaltively low cost thanks to thier low cost of energy, clear weather, and security.
but i do think Mr Sumeet is jealous his "shining India" cant even provide stable electricity or toliets for the vast majority of indians... but of course the indians prefer going to the moon.... :)
Saudi Engineer Sunday, 18 November 2012 4:27 PM - Saudi Arabia
I think one main point all the commenters have failed to see is that the fine is relatively low at 2400 SR/year. This is not meant to deter companies from bringing in foreign executives, or even Westerners in general. Because when his/her salary is 30,000/month 2400 for a year is less than 1%. This fine is most likely intended to prevent firms from hiring low-paid workers, and trying to replace them with Saudis - whether low or high paid. Considering the fine is very low (200 SR/month) this will probably not result in the hiring of many Saudis, but will deter the small business owners of bringing in a low-paid foreigner to work in a small market or car wash etc.ScotsExpat Monday, 19 November 2012 9:43 AM - Thailand
I wonder how long it will be before we see Saudi nationals working at the corner store or taking a chamois to someone else's car to dry it off.....
Sumeet Sunday, 18 November 2012 10:17 AM - India
cSaudis being competitive is a dream for them, lucky for us neither saudi government is doing the right thing nor the saudi people.
Saudi governments blames the private sector when reality the real problem is a highly uncompetitive saudi workforce, which lacks education, experince and most important a good work ethic. Saudis are deluded in thinking they can "handle" jobs ..
Great IndiaRAJU Wednesday, 21 November 2012 3:11 PM - UAE
The fact that you sitting in UAE and commenting on a topic that doesn't concearn you, is actually proof that you are jealous. "It may make you feel all warm and cozy to think that people are so jealous of you, but truth is most people are not." LoooooL at your comment. Go home bro, you are obviously overstaying your welcome in the middle east. The fact that the Govt needs to implement a rule like this, means that it is needed and neither you or me have any say in this. When in Rome do as the ........, you get the point i'm guessing...NotAgainWithJealousy Monday, 19 November 2012 11:24 AM - UAE
@Raju, I think there is some kind of misunderstanding here, I will try to explain it: When most people talk about "hiring" they are thinking of someone able to deliver a certain added value, when you talk of companies being forced to hire you are just thinking of collecting a check and (maybe) showing up.
There are far too few competent Saudis, that is a real problem. In fact most competent Saudis realize that. Unfortunately it seems that majority, or at least a large chunk of the population does not realize that.
A problem that is not unique to KSA, for sure. The west, specially southern european countries have been struggling for some time with degrees of little or none value.
It may make you feel all warm and cozy to think that people are so jealous of you, but truth is most people are not. Not that you will change your views, and honestly not that I care either.
Also, I am not sure you want to start a discussion about poverty in KSA, you know those with glass roofs and all thatRaju Monday, 19 November 2012 9:43 AM - UAE
Saudis being competetive is not the solution, but forcing companies to hire is a very big step. Yes you are jealous, it shows clearly that you are. Either you are working in Saudi, and are upset with the new rule, or the fact that you are sitting in India and making a comment on this site, which is obviously not your concearn anyway, shows us that you are jealous. Congradulation on making a toaster and going to the moon, but what good did that bring you, did you make sure that every house in India owns one?sumeet Sunday, 18 November 2012 7:37 PM - India
You didnt even understand what is being discussed.
Critisim of saudi stems for what you do and what people see.....
jealously? for what?.. what is it you have done that makes us jealous?.... did you go to the moon?,.. heck i will would be jealous if you guys could figure how to make a toaster.
you need whether u like it or not.
Thamir Ghaslan Sunday, 18 November 2012 6:32 PM - Saudi Arabia
Stop deluding yourself with India.
I suggest you Google a zillion reasons to escape from India.
Not very flattering numbers of poverty, education, corruption, human rights abuses, human trafficking, armed conflict in every state, and on and on and on. India is worst than Africa combined.
Critics of Saudi stems from 3 reasons, jealousy, ignorance, or spite.

Howdy From Long Island
Just popping in to say hello and looking forward to picking some brains.
I bought a 97 TJ 2 days ago, has some small issues but some nice upgrades, and the price was right, here are some stats on the new Rig
4 cyl. 5 speed , just under 101k miles. Black with gray interior. Nice beefy BFG 31" all terrains on upgraded grand cherokee rims. Came with the Kargo Master rack, and husky floor liners, and a decent JVC radio.
Now for what I need to do:
Needs a soft top BAAADDDLY (good frame at least), seats are torn up, and small dent in the drivers fender now getting rusted, some sun fading on hood cowl area and fender tops. Needs a battery ground cable wire, had it home for a half hour and wouldn't start lol.
Its a good starting point for a nice jeep, Looking to fix it up tastefully. Let me know what you think
Welcome to the forum! Looks like a nice Jeep to start with. Keep a check on your local craigslist for seats and a used top, if you don't want to buy new ones right away. Fender flares will look good as new with a couple cans of Krylon Fusion Satin Black. Good luck!
Welcome to the Forum
Welcome to WF. :cool:
Welcome! :)
Welcome! Looks like a nice jeep. :dance:

In the years following his departure from the position of mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani has pursued the dream of every red-blooded American boy– make money and lots of it. He speeds around the nation and world spouting his endless story about how he single-handedly saved New York City from terrorists and at $200,00 a pop, businessmen can listen to his pitch on how to be successful at making money. Rudy G. was very upset when President Obama blasted the actions of Wall Street fat cats in awarding themselves $18.4 billion in bonuses even as they asked for money to cover their incompetence as financial leaders. "If you somehow take that bonus out of the economy, "said the man of money, "it will create unemployment. It means less spending in restaurants, less spending in department stores so everything has an impact."
Let me get this straight. A financial wizard who ran his company into the ground with bad investments awards himself a $100,00,000 which is then spent eating in restaurants and buying clothes. He either has a mighty big stomach or his clothes closet could be as tall as the Empire State building. I suspect Rudy G. never saw an opportunity to make money that he turned down. On which planet is this man living!! He wants to reward greed and incompetence, is this an exercise in looking in the mirror and seeing a man of incompetence?
President Obama put it clearly and put it well in commenting about the bonus fiasco: "this is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful."

Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
Teens reported him, but theatre slow to act
Don Bauder 2 p.m., June 25
The guttural rumble of an un-muffled city bus. An electric sunrise crowning mountains beyond dense urban sprawl. The strangely-comforting coalesce of Fabuloso and sewage on a humid summer breeze.
Tijuana careens in from every angle with an ever-changing onslaught of sensory information that is at once dizzying, overwhelming, and intoxicating.
Enchanted by these whirlwind impressions, filmmaker Saulo Cisneros will be debuting Suena at Cineteca Carlos Monsiváis (CECUT) on Monday, July 22.
"[Suena] is an audiovisual cultural remix of the border region that starts with what I know and love: music, food, art, party, the streets and friends," Cisneros says.
The feature-length documentary follows eight Tijuana artists and musicians as they explore collaborations, production, live shows, and notable locales throughout the city, making use of the unique visual and audio textures of each location so that the city itself acts as a recording studio.
Free showing - 7 p.m.

Originally published in Sierra Magazine in 2007
By Reed McManus
IN FEBRUARY 1977, JIMMY CARTER donned a cardigan to encourage Americans, still reeling from the effects of the Arab oil embargo, to turn down their thermostats as a way of immediately reducing the country's dependence on imported oil. The former nuclear engineer was parodied for what looked like a Mr. Rogers moment, and since then few politicians have dared suggest that we tighten our collective belts.
But the need for energy conservation has only accelerated. As in the 1970s, the country is wrestling with air-quality problems and a foreign policy and an economy beholden to oil-exporting nations. Global warming has added urgency.
The great come-to-conservation moment for many people, however, follows a slap to the wallet rather than to the head. Last summer, gasoline in the United States rose to more than $3 per gallon, its highest price in 25 years (adjusted for inflation). When Carter first called on Americans to conserve, gas cost just $1.50 per gallon (adjusted for inflation). Suddenly, a fuel-efficient hybrid is cooler than an SUV, and the fuel-oil savings gained from installing insulation, sealing drafty doors and windows, and, yes, putting on a sweater become obvious.
According to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), steps to increase efficiency can reduce U.S. energy use–and related greenhouse-gas emissions–by at least 30 percent. And that's being … conservative. The "2,000-Watt Society" program promoted by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology claims it's feasible to reduce average continuous per-capita power use in industrialized countries to 2,000 watts per day–that's a two-thirds reduction in energy use for Europeans and a five-sixths decrease for spendthrift Americans–without crimping anyone's standard of living.
More than 320 U.S. cities have begun to do their part through the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, an effort supported by the Sierra Club's Cool Cities Campaign (coolcities.us). Many utilities and manufacturers have turned to conservation as well: A utility that helps customers reduce energy demand can avoid the cost of new power plants; a manufacturer that performs life-cycle assessments on its products can reduce energy consumption and the cost of raw materials.
In the past, some of the biggest efficiency gains followed new federal standards, regulations, tax incentives, and research funding. For example, today's typical refrigerator (which accounts for 20 percent of a household's utility costs) uses about one-fourth the energy of a 1972 model. Efficiency standards for appliances generally save consumers $2 to $3 in utility costs for every dollar increase in purchase price.
Despite the benefits, the Bush administration has failed to adopt congressionally mandated energy-saving standards for nearly two dozen appliances, prompting a lawsuit by 15 state attorneys general and New York City. Last August, the administration proposed federal standards for the 40 million electrical-distribution transformers in the United States. After assessing six possible levels of efficiency, the Department of Energy chose the second-weakest standard–one that will squander 12 billion kilowatt-hours per year and cost more over the transformers' 30- to 50-year life span than would a more efficient standard. The good news: Even the weak Bush proposal will eliminate the need to build 15 new carbon-dioxide-spewing power plants.
According to the ACEEE, more-aggressive national policies that emphasize renewable energy sources and efficiency could save a typical American family at least $650 a year. That would buy plenty of cardigans–and the benefits to national security and the environment would be priceless.

Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) and Bachelor of Laws
The information on this page applies to future students. Current students should refer to their faculty handbooks for course information.
Prepare to test yourself and get career ready for either the legal profession or the media industry with this comprehensive double-degree combination. With Media Law shaping to be one of the most innovative and changing areas of specialisation within the law, this combined degree will equip you for the challenges ahead.
Course outline
Unit of Study information on faculty page
Study plan
In this six year degree, candidates spend the first three years undertaking a combination of media and communications and law units of study to the value of 48 credit points each year. In the fourth year, you will undertake units of study in media and communications only, completing an internship placement and project, and a major in an arts and social sciences subject area of your choice. It is important to plan a major in first year because most second year units of study, which allow students to specialise in an area of interest, have junior unit of study pre-requisites. In the fifth year, you will study a fixed curriculum, comprising units of study in a range of areas of law including administrative law, federal constitutional law, and property and commercial law. The sixth year will allow you to choose elective units of study from the Sydney Law School so that you can sample specialisations in a particular area of the law.
What is a major?
A major is usually a two year defined sequence of study, generally comprising specified units of study in a particular subject area. Majors are included on students' testamurs. The Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) requires that students complete specified units of study in media and communications and at least one major from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Table A subject areas. In most cases, a major consists of at least 36 credit points (cp) in senior (2000/3000-level) units of study (6cp each) from a single subject area of study. Senior units of study can only be used to meet the requirements for one major. Units cannot be 'double counted' or 'counted twice'. The exact requirements for majors may differ between subject areas. Most majors require the completion of at least two junior (1000-level) prerequisite units of study (6cp each). These junior units may be prerequisites for the major itself and/or for senior units within the major's subject area. Junior units may be used as prerequisites for majors or senior elective units in more than one subject area.There is no major area of study within the Bachelor of Laws (LLB).

Progression rules
Candidates in a Combined Law program must successfully complete LAWS1006 Foundations of Law before enrolling in any other Bachelor of Laws (LLB) units of study. Candidates are required to complete the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) units of study in the order listed in the Sydney Law School Undergraduate Table. Except with the permission of the Dean of the Sydney Law School candidates must complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts (Media & Communications) before proceeding to Year Five of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB). Students who wish to complete an Honours year as part of the Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) should be aware of the prerequsiites for honours, usually completion of 48 senior credit points in the chosen subject area with a Credit average. Candidates who qualify to undertake Honours may elect to enrol in the honours program by suspending candidature from the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree for one year, with the permission of the Sydney Law School; or by undertaking the honours course after completion of both degrees in the combined program. Candidates are required to attend all lectures, tutorials and other activities prescribed for their units of study.
What is an elective?
An elective is a unit of study within a degree, usually an option within a course. Electives allow more detailed study of a particular subject. Electives can be selected from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Sydney Law School. Sydney Law School offers one of Australia's most diverse undergraduate elective programs in law. Students must complete seven elective units of study in their final year. A maximum of 36 credit points are taken from Table 1, and a minimum of 6 credit points are taken from Table 2 electives.
Course opportunities
Eligible students may apply to take part in an international exchange program for one semester in each degree. Study undertaken at a partner institution is counted towards the award of the degree. Exchange study in the Sydney LLB is undertaken in final year. Students can also enrol in offshore units of study as part of the Sydney LLB.
Course outcomes and further study

Candidates have the opportunity to engage in cross-institutional study in their final year of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) if they so wish, pending Faculty approval.
Admission requirements
Admission to this course is on the basis of a secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents), tertiary study or an approved preparation program. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English. Applicants are guaranteed entry if they obtain an ATAR, or equivalent, of 99.5. Special admission pathways are open for educationally disadvantaged applicants and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
If you do not obtain the ATAR into Combined Law at Sydney you may like to consider the transfer option. You can enrol in another degree at any University, including Sydney.
You will be assessed according to either your tertiary grades or your secondary qualifications, whichever is higher. If you have not studied at tertiary level for at least one year full-time in the same degree, you will be assessed according to your secondary qualifications only. Entry into Combined Law is competitive and places are limited.
Applications open in August each year for courses commencing in March the following year. If you are unsuccessful in a transfer application at the end of first year you can reapply after second year. The credit transfer policies of the Law School and its partner faculties are used when determining the amount of credit for previous studies. However, it may be difficult to complete Combined Law within the five years and you may wish to consider completing your first degree and then apply for the Juris Doctor.
The academic requirements that are displayed are applicable to currently available courses only, and are updated annually in October and may be changed without notice.

WVU defense adjusting to Big 12's fast tempo
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — After Baylor's explosive offense gave his defense a reality check, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen delivered a similar message to reporters Tuesday.
"I've been telling you how it is," Holgorsen said after the Mountaineers survived, 70-63, behind Geno Smith's eight touchdown passes despite yielding nine touchdowns and 700 total yards. "It's going to be fast-paced. It's the culture of the Big 12.
"Especially compared to last week, when (Maryland) would get over the ball and sit there and stare at the sideline for 30 seconds (before snapping the ball). It's not going to be like that. It's a very uptempo league. We've got to get better defensively at playing at a very high tempo level."
Defensive coordinator Joe DeForest called the Baylor game a defining teaching moment for his unit.
Like Holgorsen, DeForest — who spent 11 years at Oklahoma State — warned his players about preparing for Big 12 offenses. He explained the no-huddle attacks and multiple-receiver formations would be like nothing they had ever seen.
Even having to face their own dangerous offense every day in practice wouldn't prepare them for what to expect in their league opener, DeForest cautioned.
One of DeForest's players, safety Darwin Cook, went so far as to tell reporters after the game that WVU's defenders — despite their coaches' repeated warnings — didn't expect a shootout against Baylor.
"I don't think they understand the big picture of what's happening in this league," DeForest said. "You can talk about it all day, but they don't get it until you go against it."
"(DeForest) felt worse than anybody," Holgorsen said. "He didn't have a very good day. I didn't have a very good day either."
DeForest believes his players will pay much closer attention during this week's preparations for Texas, which ranks No. 4 nationally in passing efficiency and third-down conversions, No. 5 in time of possession and No. 9 in scoring offense.
"I thought coming out in the second half, they sat on the bench like, 'Now we get what you were telling us,' " DeForest said.
"Look at the (top) offenses in the country. It's Baylor. It's West Virginia. It's Oklahoma State. What do they do? The exact same thing. You've got to measure success differently in this league. It's not how many yards you give up, it's not how many points. Ultimately, you have to make one more stop than they do, make one more turnover, and you win the game."
Oklahoma State, Baylor and West Virginia are ranked 1-2-3 in total offense and scoring offense in the nation. Texas is ranked No. 40 in passing offense.
"I felt a lot better about it Sunday than I did Saturday night," Holgorsen said. "We played pretty good defense probably 75 percent of the time. We've got to keep improving up front and either get new guys in the secondary that make plays or we've got to get those guys more confident to be able to make the plays."
Note: Holgorsen said West Virginia's repeated use of five-receiver sets against Baylor was a result of injuries to running back Shawne Alston and running back Dustin Garrison's gradual return from knee surgery, Andrew Buie received the majority of carries. "We just didn't have any running backs," Holgorsen said. "They were pretty beat up. If we don't have any running backs, we will make it work with receivers."

CANADA STOCKS-Gold miners help TSX eke out gain, energy stocks weigh
(Adds portfolio manager comment, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends up 16.13 points, or 0.11 percent, to 14,493.80
* Six of the TSX's 10 main groups finish higher
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, July 13 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index made a small gain on Wednesday as gold miners advanced on a bullion price recovery while energy stocks weighed with a fall in oil prices as U.S. inventory data renewed concerns over a global glut.
"Energy's got a little more pressure on it given declines in WTI (West Texas Intermediate) and concerns over the storage levels, however gold has found a bid to put the TSX in the black today," said Chris King, vice president and portfolio manager at Morgan Meighen & Associates.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended up 16.13 points, or 0.11 percent, to 14,493.80. That added to Tuesday's close, the highest since August. Six of the index's 10 main groups ended in positive territory.
Gold recovered from its lowest in nearly two weeks, as prospects for further economic stimulus helped to bolster investor appetite.
The most influential gainers on the index included Agnico Eagle Mining, up 4 percent to C$73.73, and Barrick Gold Corp, which advanced 1.8 percent to C$27.36. Continued...

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
The stopped-to-start engine transition can pretty rough, especially when the hybrid battery is depleted and the XV can't hide the ignition behind a bit of an electrical push.
The power train is inherently more complex than the non-hybrid, which could make it more complex to maintain and repair years down the line. Fortunately, the Subie is covered under a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty for our California/PZEV model. (Models that meet the "federal specifications" for emissions should carry an eight-year/80,000-mile limited warranty.)
It's definitely not the dashboard tech
Beneath the small, color multifunction display at the top of the dashboard that displays fuel economy, hybrid state, and all-wheel drive information, you'll find the Subaru's very basic stereo.
It's got a monochromatic two-line display that can output very basic audio source data. It outputs to a six-speaker audio system and features a single-CD slot and AM/FM radio tuning. Other audio sources include a USB port with iPod control, Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free phone connectivity, and a 3.5mm auxiliary jack. There's no satellite or HD Radio available at this trim level.
The setup is similar to the system that I complained about on the Subaru WRX STI . However the XV Hybrid has a much quieter cabin, so the stereo doesn't have to work nearly as hard as it did in the cacophonous STI. Still, at highway speeds, I found that I had to crank up the volume pretty high lest the middle and high audio ranges (where you'll find vocals, guitars, and many other instruments) get lost under road and wind noise.
One place that the Subaru's stereo overachieves is bass response. However, even that sounds a bit odd and artificially boosted with a very rapid volume trail-off at the lowest frequencies. I suppose I should be grateful that distortion is kept to a minimum at the default, flat audio settings. And while the Subaru audio system is simple, it's also very easy to use and offers minimal distraction opportunities.
Other amenities standard on the XV Crosstrek Hybrid include automatic climate controls, heated front seats, and keyless entry and start. I was amused to see that, although Toyota had no hand in designing the Subaru's hybrid power train, the XV Crosstrek Hybrid has the same "Engine Start Stop" button as the Prius.
There's also a standard rear camera that takes over the color multifunction display when reversing, but no other safety tech is available.
Step up one trim level to the Hybrid Touring model and the XV gains a 6.1-inch touchscreen with GPS navigation and voice command. In the process, the dashboard tech is upgraded with HD Radio with iTunes tagging, SMS text-messaging capability, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and NavTraffic, and Aha app integration, but it looks like you'll be stuck with the same six-speaker audio rig. The Touring model also adds a power sunroof and leather seats, if you're into such things.
The odd duck
Pricing is simple. You'll either pay $25,995 for the standard XV Crosstrek Hybrid model or $29,295 for the Hybrid Touring, gaining navigation, leather, and a sunroof in the process. We drove the former. Add $825 in destination fees to reach our as-tested price of $26,820.
Finding comparisons in the close-to-$27,000 price range is tricky because the 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid is a bit of an odd duck. Direct comparisons are few and far between because the crossover sort of tucks in between two classes: small, efficient crossovers and hybrid wagons.
If you're looking for a tall wagon with great fuel efficiency in this price range, the 2014 Ford C-Max nearly matches the XV's interior volume while boasting 40 combined mpg. The slightly larger Toyota Prius V has significantly more interior volume and, at 42 mpg, even better fuel efficiency. Both are better deals for eco-conscious drivers who'll only be driving on paved roads...which, frankly, is most of you.
But neither the Prius nor the C-Max features Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and neither matches the Subaru's 8.7 inches of ground clearance, making them not exactly apples-to-apples comparisons.
Still, when you think about it, the XV Hybrid's most dangerous competitor is itself. It has to sit on the same lot as the non-hybrid XV Crosstrek and compete with the Mazda CX-5 and Nissan Rogue CVT, all of which get nearly the same fuel efficiency, have nearly the same amount of power, and don't complicate things more than they need to, which makes it very hard to justify the additional expense for the electrification and the chrome hybrid badges.

Everything is a Remix Part III
Everything is a Remix is a fascinating video series made by New York-based filmmaker Kirby Ferguson. In the series, Ferguson shares a persuasive case that connects our ephemeral notion of creativity with something far more concrete a.k.a copying. Whether you feel this posit is bollocks or not, we certainly
