Canadian Training School in Bexhill
The Film
Running Time
04 min 20 s
Canadian War Records Office
These images were filmed in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex, a camp established in 1917 to train junior officers for the Canadian Corps. The first segment, filmed with a travelling camera, depicts officers in battalion drill manoeuvres on the parade ground. Officer cadets can be identified by their white cap bands. This is followed by a scene of a platoon commander calling out three non-commissioned officers to deliver instructions. The third section shows the camp's gymnastics staff, demonstrating bayonet skills. The fourth sequence, filmed on the town's seafront boardwalk, demonstrates the protocol of paying of military compliments. The final section was filmed on a town street and shows a platoon of officer cadets on parade, observed by a small group of locals.
Although volunteers were plentiful at the outset of the war, the permanent Canadian army was quite small, and there were very few well-trained officers. In Britain, officers traditionally emerged from the country's universities and so-called public schools – which in fact were private establishments where the privileged classes were educated. In Canada there was no equivalent source for "officer material." Early in the war it was deliberately decided that non-commissioned officers, from Canadian units serving at the front, would be selected for training. The system proved to be a success, providing Canada with the best army in its history.
Each battalion would have about 30 officers, and the military hierarchy generally reflected social divisions, with most officers coming from the educated middle classes, and most soldiers from the working class. Almost 10% of all infantry battalion commanders died in the battlefield.
The gymnastics staff, wearing their uniform of white jackets, were tasked with the physical training of officers in training, as well as the teacher-training for gymnastics instructors heading back to their units.
The sequence on saluting protocol – the paying of military compliments – presents five different scenarios and may have been used for instruction purposes. The first shows two officer cadets carrying swagger sticks (short thin canes) as they walk past a commissioned officer carrying an officer's cane. As they pass, the cadets look left while saluting and offering a verbal greeting. The officer responds by turning his head left, saluting and answering their greeting. The second situation shows two cadets giving a "butt salute" – placing their right hand across their rifle butts – as they approach and pass a commissioned officer. The third scenario shows an armed party under the command of a sergeant acknowledging a passing commissioned officer. The sergeant orders an "eyes left" and salutes the officer, who returns the salute. The sergeant would only order "eyes left" (or right) if the passing officer is of field rank – i.e. a major or above.
In the fourth scenario, an officer passes a stationary group of soldiers. Under orders from their senior member, the group stands to attention and salutes. The fifth scenario shows a soldier who cannot salute because his hands are occupied. In this case, he gives an "eyes right" and offers a verbal greeting to the passing officer, who salutes and responds to the greeting.
In the final segment, showing a platoon on parade on a local street, we see a senior officer cadet assume the role of platoon sergeant. He then hands control over to the commissioned officer and falls in behind the troops. Note that the troops are in open order – i.e. they are one pace apart, allowing space for bayonet drills and for inspecting officers to pass between ranks. When the officers issues the order to fix bayonets, the right marker steps forward and the men remove their bayonets from their scabbards. The men follow orders, placing the bayonets on their rifles, and the marker returns to the ranks, who take their timing from the right marker, a custom that is no longer practised. The officer, accompanied by the senior member, now inspects the platoon. Once the inspection is complete, he gives the order to unfix the bayonets.
Notice that the left marker sets the time for this operation. Once the bayonets are back in their scabbards, the officer gives the order to "form fours." The men form four ranks, turn and march off. The practice of forming fours changed just before the Second World War, when troops began to march in three, not four, ranks. Note that one of the cadets in the final shots is wearing a wound stripe – a strip of gold cloth worn on the left sleeve that indicates an injury sustained during battle. All cadets in this clip would have been front-line veterans who had displayed the leadership skills necessary to become commissioned officers.
Pieces of History
Overseas Training in the Canadian Expeditionary Force
Andrew Iarocci
the sole object of training is to prepare our forces for war, success in battle being constantly held as the ultimate aim... It is the function of training to develop the mental, moral, and physical qualities as highly as possible in each individual, and also to inculcate by theory and practice the methods of employing the various arms in co-operation to the best advantage...1
As this passage demonstrates, military instruction consisted of two fundamental aspects: training of the individual soldier and training of formations. When new recruits joined the service, they first needed to learn the basic skills of soldiering—marching, drill and marksmanship. Once these were mastered, the soldier would continue to train for his specialized trade, whether it be infantry, artillery, engineering, signals, medical or supply. Then the individual would join a formation based on his trade, and training continued at the unit level on a regular basis. The ultimate objective was for each component of the army to function cooperatively as part of the whole; this was achieved through exercises at the battalion, brigade and divisional levels.
The first overseas contingent of Canadian troops was formed at Valcartier, Quebec, during August-September 1914. Much of the time at Valcartier was occupied with administrative details, and limited training was accomplished before the contingent—soon to be known as 1st Canadian Division—embarked for England in October. Upon arrival, the division was posted to Salisbury Plain, a large British training area, where it remained until February 1915.
The weather that winter was especially wet, and until recently, scholars have agreed that relatively little training was completed before the division moved to France. Recent research suggests, however, that despite inclement weather and other distractions, most elements of the division engaged in productive training on Salisbury Plain. The infantry learned to manoeuvre in conjunction with artillery and machine guns. Other divisional elements, such as engineers, artillery and signals, as well as mounted and transport troops carried out their own specialized programs. The engineers, for example, learned how to construct field fortifications, while the artillery brigades rehearsed their gun drills. The divisional transport and ammunition columns, meanwhile, discovered the intricacies of moving supplies around the battle zone.
The training of 1st Division did not cease after it crossed the English Channel in February 1915. Upon arrival at the front lines near the Franco-Belgian border, the Canadians were matched up with experienced British troops for orientation tours. The evidence suggests that this formative experience was overwhelmingly positive. As one soldier later recalled, "nothing could surpass the patience of" his British teachers "or their brotherly kindness to us as comrades in arms."2 The Canadians also learned about the costs of war, as they suffered their first casualties and witnessed the damage inflicted on the landscape.
In the summer of 1915, the 2nd Canadian Division arrived in England and began to train at Shorncliffe Camp. The open ground was ideal for company and battalion manoeuvres, and much of the instruction revolved around the challenges of trench warfare. Some of the officers attended British courses, while others went to France for short combat tours with 1st Division.3 With the expansion of the Canadian Corps to four divisions during 1915-16, additional training space was required for the new arrivals in England. A camp was opened at Bramshott in late 1915, and additional camps were added in 1916, including Crowborough, Hastings, New Shoreham, Seaford and Witley.4
As the war progressed, a broad selection of specialized schools was established—both in England and in France—covering everything from hand grenade training to field sanitation. Instructional programs were gradually standardized, while the British Army Printing and Stationery Depot produced a vast selection of training literature on every conceivable subject.
New technology appeared on the battlefield throughout the war and was reflected in training programs. In April 1915, for example, the German Army introduced chemical weapons to the Western Front. All soldiers were issued with respirators for the duration of the conflict and gas drill became an important component of basic training. Later in 1915, the .303 calibre Lewis gun, a portable automatic rifle, was issued to British and Dominion forces. Here again was a new piece of equipment to be mastered. In common with other types of military training, the correct procedure was subdivided into a simple series of component tasks.
Not all military instruction revolved around weapons systems and tactics. Sport and physical exercise were also important; peak fitness was vital if soldiers were to function under the strain of battle. As the British Army Manual of Physical Training explained:
a soldier should be well disciplined, a good marcher, intelligent, smart, active and quick, able to surmount obstacles in the field and capable of withstanding all the strains and hardships of active service...5
Fitness was achieved through physical drills, "Swedish" exercises and regular sporting events. Organized games and competitions not only fostered physical fitness, but also improved morale and encouraged teamwork. During the summer months, battalions, brigades and divisions organized their own sporting events in rear areas. After the war a veteran fondly recalled a sports day from the summer of 1918:
Who lives that does not remember the day of brigade sports at Izel-les-Hameaux? There were races and jumps and hurdles, something for everyone, a ring to box and wrestle in, baseball and football championships. The day was fine... everybody was there. It was a gay scene, the boys of four battalions and the airmen who joined us for the fun, all rollicking together...6
By late 1916 the Canadian Corps was a veteran formation, and had suffered heavy casualties in a series of costly battles, including Second Ypres, Festubert, St. Eloi Craters, Mount Sorrel and the Somme. In addition to formal training routines, this practical and bloody battle experience shaped the capabilities of the Corps. At the same time, the high casualty rates meant that large numbers of new recruits were constantly arriving in France and Belgium. Some Canadian commanders were dissatisfied with the level of basic training displayed by these reinforcements, and decided to establish their own courses at the battalion, brigade or divisional levels. These short refresher courses helped to ensure that new arrivals were familiar with the basics of soldiering before being thrust into the unforgiving front lines.
Training was an ongoing process throughout the First World War, as Canadian units were created, consumed in combat, reformed, and once again committed to battle. Under the challenging tactical and operational circumstances of 1914-18, nothing could have prevented high casualties, but effective training improved the chances that soldiers would succeed on the battlefield.

The Ross Rifle and other Small Arms in World War I
Sir Sam Hughes, the future minister of militia and member of the 1901 militia committee, was a supporter of the Ross rifle. The Mark 1 Ross rifle was not delivered until 1905 and 1000 units were supplied to the RNWMP but various problems plagued this model of rifle and it was eventually recalled in 1906. Changes were made to the production model until 1910 when the various models of the Mark 2 were produced. Great Britain at that time was strongly urging Canada to adopt the Lee-Enfield rifle for its armed forces so as to have consistency within the Empire regarding weaponry, and because Canada refused to halt production of the Ross rifle, strains developed over imperial defence. The Mark 2 rifle was adopted by the Canadian armed forces in 1911, and in that year work was begun on the Mark 3, although few were produced before 1914. In the first years of WWI the Ross rifle received a bad reputation. It was seen as unsuitable for the "trench-and-charge" tactics employed during that war because of its weight, 9 lbs 14 ozs (c 4.5 kg), its overall length, 60˝ inches (c 1.5 m) with bayonet fixed, and the continual jamming problem plus the occasional "blowback." The cause of the jamming was eventually corrected but came too late for the rifle to maintain its use. In the summer of 1916 the rifle was withdrawn from service and by mid-Sept Canadian troops had been rearmed with the British-made Lee-Enfield. The Canadian government expropriated the Ross Rifle Co in March 1917 after paying Ross $2 million. The total production of the Ross rifle was approximately 420,000 with 342,040 units being purchased by the British. During WWII, the Mark 3 Ross rifle was given to the Royal Canadian Navy, the Veteran's Guard of Canada, coastal units, training depôts, the British Home Guard and the Soviets.

Conscription Debate: A Country Divided
Grade Level: Secondary 9-12
Time Allowance: 45 minutes
Films: Canadian Training School in Shorncliffe, Canadian Training School in Bexhill and Borden in Ottawa
Summary: Students debate conscription, focusing on how the issue divided the country.
The debate over conscription during World War I was one of the bitterest disputes in Canadian history. English Canadians tended to support conscription; French Canadians, along with farmers and recent immigrants to Canada, strongly opposed it.
Your Task:
It is 1917. Debate the following with your classmates: "Be it resolved that the Canadian government conscript into battle young men between 18 and 45 years of age." Prepare for the debate by watching the films Canadian Training School in Shorncliffe, Canadian Training School in Bexhill, Borden in Ottawa and researching the lines of argument below. Develop some additional lines of argument to use in the debate.
For the resolution:
1. The majority of Canadians support conscription. We must abide by the democratic decision of the majority.
2. Enacting conscription will upset some Canadians; not enacting conscription will upset others. It is impossible to please everybody. However, all Canadians will benefit if we fight with Britain and protect our economic and political interests.
Against the resolution:
1. Canada was the creation of two founding peoples, the English and the French. That spirit of partnership is being lost as English-speaking Canadians force conscription on French-speaking Canadians. French Canadians should not be forced to fight in a war against their will.
2. We do not treat some of our own men as full citizens. How can we expect men from groups which face discrimination in Canada to shoulder the full responsibilities of citizenship, when they are restricted from sharing all its privileges?

Summary: Students debate conscription, focusing on how it affected Canada's standing in the world.
The debate over conscription during World War I was one of the bitterest disputes in Canadian history.
Your Task:
It is 1917. Debate the following with your classmates: "Be it resolved that the Canadian government conscript into battle young men between 18 and 45 years of age." Prepare for the debate by watching the films Canadian Training School in Shorncliffe, Canadian Training School in Bexhill, Borden in Ottawa and researching the lines of argument below. Develop some additional lines of argument to use in the debate.
For the resolution:
1. Canada is an equal participant in a just war. We have a responsibility to contribute. It is wrong to stay out of this fight against tyranny.
2. Canada's per capita contribution of men to World War I is below that of Britain, as well as other members of the British Empire such as Australia and New Zealand. The Canadian government should conscript men so that our per capita contribution reaches the level of the other colonies.
3. Canada is fighting for its own interests. Our biggest trading partner, Britain, is battling for its survival. If the Germans defeat Britain, the economic consequences for Canada will be horrendous.
Against the resolution:
1. Canada is in this war because Britain is in the war. This is a European civil war and we are not a part of Europe. We are part of the new world. We should not be drawn into Europe's disputes.
2. Canada has a long history of joining Britain's imperialistic adventures, and this must come to an end. Canada must act as an independent nation, not as Britain's servant.

In a letter published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers have announced an association that is sure to please chocolate lovers: a preliminary study has found that people who ate chocolate frequently had a lower BMI (body-mass index) than people who ate chocolate infrequently or not at all.
They collected data about diet, physical activity, and mood from 1,018 healthy adults. They also calculated BMI for each participant using their height and weight. BMI is a measure of weight relative to height and is commonly used to diagnose underweight, overweight, and obesity.
The researchers made the following observations:
The researchers said their findings agree with previous findings, "suggesting that diet composition, as well as calorie number, may influence BMI." They note that chocolate has demonstrated other positive effects such as improving insulin sensitivity, lowering blood pressure, and reducing cholesterol levels, all of which suggests that chocolate may protect against cardiovascular disease.
These current findings about chocolate and weight are preliminary, since they have been published as a letter and have not yet been reviewed by other researchers. Nonetheless, dieters trying to lose weight may feel encouraged that indulging modestly in dark chocolate may still be reasonable. Here are some other things to remember about chocolate:

Sandy • Chris Wingert stepped off the field Friday, smiling after training at Rio Tinto Stadium on a perfect spring afternoon.
The Real Salt Lake back could be in an even better mood Saturday evening.
After rehabbing from preseason surgery on his foot, the veteran defender has worked himself into the RSL 18 two weeks in a row, only to see journeyman Lovel Palmer's name in the starting lineup.
And while Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis is not one to divulge his selections in the run-up to a match, he hinted strongly that Wingert could see his first action of the season this weekend against Vancouver.
"If we had not gotten a shutout at home last weekend, in all likelihood Wingert would have started [last week against the Los Angeles Galaxy]," Kreis said. "But when players do well we want to reward them for doing well. We want to make decisions fairly, so the decision was to keep Wingert out. We're in a different boat this week."
Wingert, who broke a bone in his foot while training during the offseason, has watched from afar as Palmer and Abdoulie Mansally have filled in at left back over the season's first nine weeks. Wingert praised his teammates' performances, but said he is eager to return to the pitch.
"I'm really excited to hopefully get back out there sooner or later," he said. "It feels like it's been a long time coming with such a long time recovering from the injury. But at the same time, I think those guys have done a great job. I just have to be ready when I'm called upon."
If Wingert, who in his seventh season with the club is RSL's longest-tenured field player, is indeed called upon to play against the Whitecaps, he'll have plenty of experience playing with starters Nat Borchers, Chris Schuler and Tony Beltran to call upon. Even after a long absence, the team's back line believes that chemistry will carry over.
"I don't know if we're going to be 100 percent as sharp as we would if we were playing together every week for half the season, but that's part of playing the game," Wingert said. "Hopefully I can get back in there and we won't miss a beat."
Borchers said he looks forward to playing with the man he called "one of the most underrated backs in this league."
"He's just so good positionally and he communicates a lot," the center back said. "You never see him get beat on the outside there. ... If he's going to be back in the lineup, we're excited to have him back."
RSL, which conceded a late penalty kick goal and took a 1-1 draw earlier this season at Vancouver, is braced for the Whitecaps' speedy attacking unit.
And after watching his team fall flat in the early minutes of last weekend's home game against the Galaxy, giving up two goals in the first 20 minutes, Kreis called the matchup against Vancouver "critical."
"I think this is as critical a game as we've faced all year," he said. "To come back from a very disappointing performance last weekend, we need to make a statement to ourself about how good we are, and how willing we are to work, and how much we want things."
Wingert, for one, would welcome the test.
"It's going to be a tough challenge for us," he said, "but we look forward to that."

So, have I mentioned here that I'm becoming less and less confident about my ability to find work in a classroom? If not, well, I am; I've been out of work for more than a year and in all that time – despite having sent resumes to literally every educational institution within a 50 mile radius (some more than once) – I've only had three interviews. There's something not right about that.
As a consequence, I've begun to consider moving outside of education and pursuing something in activism. To that end, I've been sending out this letter to groups and organizations that work for social justice causes (I've only changed identifying details):
I wish that I could make this introduction in person because I fear that I'm not going to come off at all the way I intend. Keeping that in mind, I'm just going to forge ahead and hope for the best. I beg your indulgence.
I am a 44-year-old mother of two teenaged daughters. My husband and I have been together for over 20 years and have lived in Coastal New England for all of them. I graduated from LU in 1996 with a degree in English with a concentration in education and literary criticism, got married that summer, and delivered our first child the following June. Mr. Chili and I did the math and realized that it would be much more financially sound for me to stay home with the baby, so that's what I happily did. Our second daughter was born in March of 1999, and I rocked the stay-at-home-mom gig until she went to kindergarten and I headed back to LU for grad school. I finished my Master's in English teaching in 2006 and worked teaching at the high school, community college, and university level until last year, when I took some time to pursue a post-graduate certificate (again, at LU; I have an all-State education!) in adolescent development.
I'm writing to you because I have discovered, through both casual observation and focused introspection, that I'm deeply passionate about social causes. Just about every class discussion I ever led was grounded in figuring out why things happen to people the way they do, in identifying what forces are in place that cause them (and how we do or do not perpetuate those systems), and in exhorting students to think critically and to find – and use – their voices. My friends have told me that I'm the first person they go to when they need information about an issue, or when they want someone to help them work through their thinking about one thing or another. My whole life has been spent as an outspoken and unapologetic LGBTQ ally and, separately, a strong pro-choice advocate. A significant part of my identity is wrapped up in being socially conscious and energetic, and in teaching others to be so, too.
I wholeheartedly embraced the crazy of this past election cycle (I had time on my hands, after all) and I found myself being frustrated, again and again, by the lack of knowledge that was being utilized by my friends and acquaintances. I posted about a zillion things on my facebook page and tried to direct people to thoughtful, accurate sources for the information they lacked. I spoke to people, I enlisted former students into the voting rolls, and volunteered with the local Obama campaign.
I want to do more of that, but I'm coming quickly to understand that my energy and passion are seen as liabilities in traditional school settings. I guess what I'm asking you is this; is there an opportunity with your organization that would use my passion, my teaching skills (I am an excellent and enthusiastic teacher, particularly of teenagers), and my research, writing, and speaking abilities in a position where I can feel like I'm making a difference? I'm not a naive 20-something; I understand that one person doesn't go out and set the world on fire. I do believe, however, that one person can set off a ripple that reaches farther than that person ever imagined it could, and I feel like I am a significant pebble that could make some really wonderful waves if I could just find the right pond.
So, there you have it. I'm outspoken, energetic, committed, and thoughtful. I've got some significant work experience and I care about the job that I do. I'm personable, easygoing, and eager to learn. I need something to do with all this energy. Got any suggestions?
Thank you so much for taking this time for me. I really, really appreciate it.
Mrs. Chili
I haven't had any luck in getting positive responses to this email until today, when I got this:
Hello Chili,
Thank you for your email and for your passion for justice. I think that I would like to meet with you face to face to talk and see what we could possibly do together.
Is it possible for you to meet sometime next week in *one of our bigger cities*? I will be free Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Or suggest another time/place.
Best wishes,
Sarah Jane
I've written back to let her know that I'm available at her convenience. I'm really excited to see where this goes.
p.s. I'm still working on putting together the post about my experience at Dr. Wong's school (here's a spoiler; once I left, I never heard from them again…).

Page Tools
Q1: I have Windows XP and lately I've been having trouble logging on to certain websites, because as soon as I type in the web address and press enter, Internet Explorer closes down and the desktop reappears. I run Norton 2004 Antivirus weekly, use the Windows firewall and my security setting is on medium. I also run Spybot and Adware on a regular basis.
A: It's possible that Internet Explorer is having trouble displaying web pages that use Java applets. It might be time to update the Java capabilities of your browser anyway (Microsoft has, as of September, ceased support for the Java Virtual Machine it used to provide). You can test your browser at the JavaTester website where there's handy help and installation information for different browsers.
Erratic browser behaviour can also indicate malicious software, so make sure you keep your antivirus and anti-spyware tools updated, to be safe.
Q2: I have a licensing question. If I was to purchase another PC, either a desktop or laptop, can I use my copy of Office from one PC on the other? Or do I have to purchase a second copy? I would only be using the machines for personal use.
A: There are conditions. For retail copies of Office 2003, for example, Office may be installed on a desktop and Microsoft will permit another installation on a laptop, for non-concurrent use by the same person. Usually, if the software arrives preinstalled on a new machine, it is for use on one computer only.
Q3: I am in the process of updating some family history files, which were saved many years ago as .dbf files on floppy discs. When trying to save them as .xls files, all the dates in the 1900s have remained the same but all the dates in the 1800s have changed, for example 10/05/1876 has become 18760510, (no dashes, and yyyymmdd). There are too many entries to change individually, and I can't seem to change this using the 'Replace' option for a whole column. Any suggestions?
A: Excel doesn't realise how old the world really is. The program cannot cope with dates earlier than 1900, so it needs a little help. Try the Extended Date Functions Add-in from spreadsheet guru John Walkenbach.
Q4: Every time I open my desktop a "Dial up Connection" window appears. I have a lot of trouble getting rid of this window; clicking on the cancel does not work. Clicking on the X about a dozen times or more does eventually clear it. I have found that if I do not clear the window it causes a lot of problems. How can I stop it appearing?
A: If you haven't done so already, go to Control Panel, Internet Options, click the Connections tab and ensure that the option "Dial whenever a network connection is not present" is not selected. There may be a legitimate program trying to get online, or more likely, unwanted software such as spyware or a dubious dialler.
A firewall, such as the free Zone Alarm, will tell you when a program tries to use the net. You will need to check your system for parasites. Depending on how they install themselves, such programs can also be difficult to remove.
Anti-spyware products such as AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy can be helpful. TrojanHunter will seek out unwanted programs lurking on your system and Hijack This will help detect those that might try to control your internet settings.

At Work
Tender Spirits: A Conversation with Marie-Helene BertinoBy Jessica Gross
In October, Marie-Helene Bertino published her debut collection of short stories, Safe as Houses. Her writing often involves fantastical elements—an embodied idea of an ex-boyfriend, an alien who faxes observations about human beings to her home planet, a woman who brings Bob Dylan home for Thanksgiving dinner—that advance painful story lines. Her language is spare, direct, and hilarious, which makes the characters' losses that much more deeply felt. Bertino is now at work on a novel centering on a jazz club in Philadelphia called the Cat's Pajamas.
We spoke for two hours in a Brooklyn coffee shop, which was flooded with girls on their lunch break from school.
Reading Safe as Houses, I was struck by the number of characters who aren't really seen by others. By the last few stories, the characters start to become more visible. Does that theme ring true to you?
I would totally agree with that, though I was not conscious of it. I was aware that a lot of characters were on the outskirts of something—of their towns, their groups of friends, their families, their societies. And at the risk of sounding cliché, I think that's a metaphor for being a writer. I mean literally and figuratively—you have to stand on the outside to watch a group of people and then be able to write about them, but in practice, it's also a solitary art, as they say. And I think that those characters definitely are a reflection of that kind of observer quality in me.

Thanks to Dan Burden for this image from the Deep Archives, taken during a 1988 photo session with him in Florida. I'm aboard the Winnebiko II, which used a hacked Radio Shack Model 100 in the console, along with a binary handlebar keyboard processed by a 68HC11. It also carried packet radio, operable while riding, a speech synthesizer, 20 watts of solar panels, 2-meter ham radio, and full touring gear. This was my favorite of the three bike versions.
I vividly remember the images of the Winnebikos and the BEHEMOTH, subscribing to Steve's email newsletters, and learning A LOT about "gonzo engineering" from him.

SLEAZE: Amanda Bynes Hospitalized for Psychotic Behavior
Things are not looking good for Amanda Bynes. Her erratic behavior has graduated to the next level of crazy. She's no longer JUST writing bizare things on Twitter, now she's SETTING FIRES!
Apparently she was wondering around her parent's Thousand Oaks, California neighborhood when she decided to set a "campfire" in a neighbor's driveway.
The neighbor, having no idea who Amanda Bynes is, called the police on her.
When the police showed up they placed Bynes under a 5150 psychiatric hold at a Los Angeles Hospital. They commented that Amanda needs a serious mental evaluation (Uh, Duh).
Bynes can only be kept in custody for 72 hours. If they don't find the cause of her recent behavior they have to release her.
Hopefully Amanda gets the help she obviously needs!
Below is a picture of Amanda's parents leaving the hospital where she is being held.

SNL Hires NEW Female Cast Member, Sasheer Zamata
"Saturday Night Live" has announced comedian Sasheer Zamata as it's newest addition to the cast for the show's return this month!
The recent hire comes after SNL recently received some criticism for lacking diversity with it's female actresses. Zamata will make her debut on the show's first episode of 2014 on January 18th with host and musical guest Drake.
In the past, male comedian Kenan Thompson has portrayed the show's black female roles, but has since declined dressing drag. After an extensive casting call, Zamata fills the opening as the first female black cast member since Maya Rudolph's departure five years ago.
Some of Sasheer's specialty impersonations include Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Michelle Obama.
Check a few of them out below:

This saddle seat helps you replicate an equestrian's healthy posture to reduce back fatigue and discomfort while seated. Its gentle forward slope shifts the pelvis forward and raises the buttocks above the knees, resulting in semi-standing posture that discourages slouching--major causes of back discomfort. The sides of the seat are also sloped, spreading the knees apart (hip abduction) and keeping the pelvis upright to reduce stress on the back, shoulders, and neck. Unlike traditional chairs that can restrict blood circulation in the legs, the saddle seat does not exert contact pressure on the back of the legs, reducing muscle fatigue. The chair swivels 360� and has five casters for optimal mobility and stability, its polyurethane foam seat is soft yet supportive, and it has a durable polished aluminum frame. With tilt- and height-adjustment. Supports up to 280 lbs. 21"-28" H x 17" W x 14" D. (17 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Posture Improving Saddle Seat comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.
Should you have any questions, we are available seven days a week (8:00 am – midnight EST). Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a specialist or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to receive a response within three business hours or less.

Unless you ride
By Melanie the writer
from Washington, DC region
If one isn't experienced with riding a horse, this seat will strike you as quite odd initially. However, it works quite well. Sit back a little further so your tailbone is close to the edge of the back, relax, and you will find you naturally sit quite comfortably. The Posture Improving Saddle Seat is very convenient for small spaces, too, where fitting under a desk or turning is problematic.What could be improved? Perhaps a smidge more padding right over the area where it supports the edges of pelvis, but then I am working to improve my conditioning and may be more aware of that than most.Basically, I'd give it 4.5 stars.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for posture & back pain
By M
from Indianapolis
I sit at my desk for up to 10 hr a day during my busy season. After you sit in any chair for a few hours you will be stiff. I can sit on this chair for a long time without pain. It has improved my posture and lower back pain. I may get one for home too.

Exactly what I was looking for
By Back Surgery Patient
from Illinois
I cannot stand for long periods of time and the adjustable height is perfect for time spent at the stove stirring, etc., and also doing dishes. The sturdy base is what I was looking for and is much better than 3-legged stools with smaller wheels that I had seen prior to this one. It arrived a few days after I had ordered it AND I found a coupon for free shipping!

Almost a Homerun....
By Brian Evans
from Atlanta, GA
Regarding assembly: the provided allen wrench works great in three of the four seat attaching screws. The fourth is so awkwardly positioned that a redesigned wrench with a shorter head would be much appreciated. If you have elevated stress levels I suggest you take your meds before assembly.As a posture chair, this works great. Unfortunately the seat is so firm that numbness is possible in the perineum area. If you have ever taken a cycling class and experienced numbness, it will be the same here.

A little different
By Medical Assistant
from Edmonton Canada
Not like plunking down in a regular chair. I find I have to make sure it is properly under me before I sit.
Back Saver
By Doc P
from Norwalk, CT
I love this chair. I've been using mine for a year now and it is still super comfortable and in great shape. It's been so good for my lower back pain that I get sitting in regular chairs. Really makes you sit upright and is so much more comfortable than it looks. I spend 30-45 hours per week in this chair. Would definitely buy it again.
GREAT! Saved on medical bills!
By Debbie

use daily in my office, has helped TREMENDOUSLY with my plantar faciitis and my low back pain. when I get up after having set for any amount of time I can actually stand up and walk off without pain.

Did not work for me.
By Deb
from Kansas
I would not recommend this to anyone who wants to use it at a task chair at a desk. It is too high even in the lowest position for me and I had it adjusted as low as it would go. The seat was very hard and uncomfortable. Also, the leg portions are so long that your feet get tangled in them when you try to move around. I was really disappointed it didn't work for me and had to return it. Taking it apart was near to impossible.

Kernels' Shibuya silences LumberKings
Twins prospect hurls four-hit shutout in fourth start of season
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | August 31, 2013 8:10 PM ET
In less time than it takes to watch the weekend's highest-grossing movie, Tim Shibuya tossed a complete-game shutout on Saturday. But he admitted his performance felt more like a screening of a foreign art film than a trip to the multiplex.
"It was mentally draining," Shibuya said. "To stay focused the whole time, it was still a long game."
Over an hour and 56 minutes, the Twins prospect pitched a four-hitter as Class A Cedar Rapids beat Clinton, 5-0. He struck out six, recorded 12 ground-ball outs and issued one walk.
"I like to try to keep a good tempo and keep our infielders on their toes," said Shibuya, who improved to 4-0 while lowering his ERA to 0.96. "It's just about trusting myself and trusting the pitch calls and also trusting the catcher and the defense behind me. I've been attacking the zone and letting my catcher and the defense work hard."
Shibuya combined on a no-hitter for Rookie-level Elizabethton on July 16, 2011 and threw a three-hit shutout in the Midwest League last year. He made 15 appearances between the two levels this season, but Saturday's was only his fourth start and third straight. He's won those last three outings, yielding one earned run over 24 innings.
"It's definitely been something I've been building up throughout the year. I would go one or two [innings] in extended spring training and then I'd get stretched out a little," the 25-year-old right-hander said. "I've bounced around as far as the length of my outings. All along, I was always working on my strength and conditioning, so I'd be ready if I needed to get extended."
Shibuya fanned the first two LumberKings but wasn't particularly excited about that.
"You can lose a game in the first inning, but you can't win a game in the first inning," he said. "I'm not really a strikeout pitcher. I was trying to get ground balls in those at-bats, but I was kind of surprised to strike them out."
The only time the UC-San Diego product allowed two baserunners in one inning was the seventh. He surrendered a leadoff single, got a strikeout, then allowed another base hit.
"I hung a slider," after the first single, Shibuya said. "When we got to first and second, I was trying to get a ground ball."
Instead, the runners moved up on a passed ball. Shibuya got the second out with a whiff.
"It was pretty important. With the infield back, I was trying to get weak contact in the air or get a strikeout," he said. "I wanted to avoid a fielder's choice ground ball. Getting the punchout there was big."
Kernels second baseman Tyler Grimes made "a great play" on a hard-hit ball up the middle, Shibuya said, to end the threat.
After facing five batters in the seventh, Shibuya didn't know whether he'd be allowed to go out for the eighth. He was and got three groundouts around a walk.
"I wasn't quite sure what the plan was. I knew I'd been efficient with my pitches," he said. "[Cedar Rapids manager Jake Mauer] came up to me after the eighth and said, 'How do you feel?' I told him I felt good and he said, 'All right, you got this.'"
The California native gave up a leadoff single in the ninth before getting the final three batters in order.
Mike Gonzales hit his third homer in five games for the Kernels and Twins No. 8 prospect Max Kepler lifted a sacrifice fly for his 11th RBI in 10 contests.

At some times in a spider's life it is easy to tell whether it is a male or a female, but at other times it can be impossible. This is because the reproductive organs of a spider do not develop until the spider has reached maturity. Juvenile male and female spiders look almost exactly the same. As a spider grows, it sheds its skin, or moults, several times. The reproductive organs do not develop and become visible until after the final moult.
The most reliable character to use to distinguish male and female spiders is the position of the reproductive openings.
The female reproductive opening is located on the underside of the abdomen, near the front of the spider. It is called an epigynum and is often hardened and dark in colour.

The male reproductive system is a bit more complex. The testes are located on the underneath of the abdomen, and connect to the surface via a small tube. The male spins a small mat of silk and deposits a 'packet' of sperm from the testes onto the silk mat. He then syphons up this sperm packet into a reservoir, called an embolus, located in the last segment of his palps. This is why the palps of a mature male spider resemble tiny boxing gloves.

To fertilise the female spider, the male spider places his embolus into her epigynum, transferring the sperm packet, where it is stored in a pocket to be used by the female at a later date.

Toilet training your cat. They say it can be done, and CitiKitty has put together a complete Cat Toilet Training Kit to help make it incredibly easy. Now, I haven't tried this yet myself, but after reading all about the CitiKitty I think I'm going to give it a shot.
The kit includes a training seat that is placed underneath the toilet seat to transition your cat from the litter box to the toilet. There's also a training guide and a tip sheet, plus a packet of CitiNip catnip for use during the training process. The training guide has explicit instructions on how to first move your cat from using the litter box to using the toilet with litter, and then to using just the toilet with no litter. It's a multi-step process that can be used with any cat that is healthy, at least three months old, and already successfully litter-box trained. It is also possible to train multiple cats at once.
According to CitiKitty, the benefits of toilet training your cat include:
- NO MORE LITTER MESS Toilet trained cats do not use kitty litter, eliminating the mess and smell of a litter box from your home.
- BETTER FOR YOUR CAT Because your cat is toilet trained they will no longer be exposed to chemicals and silica dust found in many litter brands, which has been proven to cause respiratory and other health-related problems in cats.
- SAVE $$$ Toilet trained cat owners have the luxury of not having to purchase kitty litter, saving them thousands of dollars.
- BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Each year more than 4 billion pounds of kitty litter is sent to landfills in the United States. Most of that litter is made from strip mined clay which is a non-renewable resource. By toilet training your cat you help preserve precious resources.
- MORE TIME FOR YOUR CAT Why spend endless hours cleaning up a litter box when you can be spending it playing with your cat!
Now, this may not be for every cat, but there are an awful lot of comments from satisfied customers on the CitiKitty website, and there seem to be quite a few success stories, so it just might work for your cat.
A few words about flushing cat feces
This is a controversial topic, as we found out last year during Litter Week. I uncovered some important information, first read this post about the problems that can be caused by flushing cat feces, then make sure to read the follow-up post about how it can be quite safe to flush in most situations.
Enter to Win a CityKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit PLUS one of Two $100 Shopping Sprees at CitiKitty.com!
CitiKitty not only makes the toilet training kit, but they also offer a wide variety of other cat-related products on their newly re-designed website CitiKitty.com and this is your chance to win a $100 shopping spree! Two winners will be selected in a random drawing and each will receive a CitiKitty Cat Toilet Training Kit plus a $100 credit to spend on any products at CitiKitty.com. To enter, please leave a comment on this post with your thoughts about toilet training your cat. Have you ever tried it before? Are you thinking about making the transition? The drawing will take place on November 18 and the winners will be notified via email. One entry per person. This giveaway is limited to addresses in the US and Canada.

Jefferson City, Tenn. - The Tornados handled Converse Saturday afternoon for their first victory of the season at the Lady Eagle Shootout at Carson-Newman.

By Jerry Cornfield, Herald Columnist
A newly created political committee is attacking the performance of Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine — and he doesn't seem to mind.
In fact, Marine thinks it may even give his re-election campaign a boost in the final days of the primary.
Citizens for a Better Mukilteo registered with the state July 21. That same day it launched joehastogo.com, a website blasting decisions made by Marine in an eight-year reign on a host of issues including budgets, parks and red light cameras. It also is distributing lawn signs on which the universal 'no' symbol is stamped on top of the mayor's name.
Mukilteo Councilman Kevin Stoltz created the PAC, designed the website and bought 100 signs, 30 of which he said were staked in yards as of Tuesday.
He said he's the only donor right now. He anticipates others will chip in if Marine advances out of next week's primary in which he is pitted against two other council members, Jennifer Gregerson and Steve Schmalz. (Stoltz, who is backing Schmalz, denied any coordination with the candidate on the committee's actions.)
"The goal of this PAC is simply to attempt to level the playing field of an incumbent mayor who has been very successful in turning his part time position into a full one and has abused his power (quite effectively) and the people's trust for his own political and financial gain," he writes on the website.
Marine on Tuesday said the undertaking could be "very helpful" because it is awakening his supporters from their political slumber. And it doesn't hurt to see his name clearly visible on all those signs.
He dismissed the attacks as false and is convinced none will gain traction with voters.
"They're all about negative," he said. "Citizens of Mukilteo don't want half-truths and lies. They want leadership. I don't think the people of Mukilteo will buy this brand of hooey."
Lynnwood Mayor Don Gough is looking to win a third term with nobody's money but his own.
He's not received a single contribution this campaign, according to reports filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission. In contrast, his opponents in the primary — Nicola Smith, Mark Smith and Loren Simmonds — are garnering contributions from friends, neighbors and a cross-section of community leaders.
As of Wednesday, Nicola Smith had raised the most money, $12,131 followed by Mark Smith with $8,725, Gough with $8,529 and Simmonds with $6,220
This is kind of a trend for Gough. He put up roughly 90 percent of the money in winning each of his prior mayoral runs. In 2005, only 11 people and one union contributed to him and four years later his donor list totaled just 14, including $100 from then Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick.
Gough may just dislike soliciting donations — most candidates hate it — and keeping track of those he receives. Maybe he feels self-financing buffers him from influences of special interests.
His detractors might argue the mayor has collected no donations this year because no one wants to give the incumbent any money.
Whatever the reason, Tuesday will reveal if the source of Gough's dough makes any difference with voters.

WATCH: Justin Bieber Look-Alike Spent $100,000 On Surgery - Was It Worth It?
Listen to Justin Bieber Radio on iHeartRadio
Toby Sheldon is a 33-year-old songwriter who has spent in excess of $100,000 on plastic surgery to look like Justin Bieber.
"I want to look like Justin Bieber used to look, when he was real young," explains Sheldon. "I just always bring a picture of him from, like, two years ago, to my surgeons and say, 'This is what I want to model myself after.'"
On Sunday's "Botched," you hear him sing.
Maybe $50,000 on cosmetic procedures and $50,000 on vocal training would have been a better use of funds.

Nick Cannon's fake assistant burgles bling
(Yahoo!) - Nick Cannon has found himself at the center of a jewelry heist.
A person pretending to be the TV and radio host's personal assistant made off with a briefcase of bling from upscale retailer Fred Segal.
In what sounds like a bad movie plot, someone called Fred Segal's Santa Monica store identifying himself as part of the "America's Got Talent" host's inner circle. The man asked for an assortment of jewelry to be brought to a designated meeting spot — the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood — where Mariah Carey's husband would be waiting. However, when the store staffer arrived with the glittery gems, a man took the entire briefcase — and took off.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the incident, which occurred last month, to omg! on Monday. The rep said Cannon, 33, was not on the premises when the crime occurred — nor was he aware of it.
The store employee filed a grand theft report with police, meaning the price of the jewelry was in excess of $950. The Hollywood burglary division is currently investigating the case.
While a rep for the store has not yet responded to omg!'s request for comment about the theft, Cannon's publicist tells omg! his camp has "no comment at this time."

A pit bull bit two young children in San Bernardino on Monday evening.
The children, 1 and 2-year-old Rialto residents, were with their parents visiting a family friend in the 800 block of North Garner Avenue at 6:10 p.m.
Police said the children were playing in the back yard when an 8-year-old pit bull bit the older child, causing facial injuries.
When the child was rescued from the dog, the dog then bit the 1-year-old child.
Paramedics took both children to an area hospital for treatment. Their injuries were serious, but not considered to be life threatening.
San Bernardino Animal Control officers have quarantined the animal.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley wanted to be a surprise pick in the NFL draft, but not in the way things developed Friday.
Barkley was the most noteworthy player who went undrafted in the first two days, which again raised questions about his decision to return for his senior season. The day went much better for his teammates, however, with wide receiver Robert Woods selected in the second round by the Buffalo Bills and safety T.J. McDonald going to the St. Louis Rams in the third round.
"I'm ready and willing to go against each and every corner in the league," Woods said. "I feel like with a great scheme you can beat anything with the book. "
Woods probably earned his draft pick by impressing Bills coach Doug Marrone when Marrone coached at Syracuse last season. Woods caught 10 passes for 93 yards, scored two touchdowns, had a 76-yard run that set up a touchdown and a punt return that set up another.
"Hopefully that was the marking point," Woods said. "Hopefully that was something he remembered. I want to thank him for making that selection and coming up and getting me. "
Woods, who was the 41st overall pick, was asked about his statistical dropoff in his junior season while playing in the shadow of Biletnikoff Award winner Marqise Lee. After catching 111 passes in his sophomore year, Woods caught 76 passes last season.
"It's kind of like the scheme of things," Woods said. "(USC coach Lane) Kiffin switched me and Marqise's positions. We played different positions. That added to it and that's part of the game. "
If Woods was pleased, McDonald was ecstatic. Like Barkley, he returned for his senior season but his stock essentially went unchanged. He will play for the Rams, the rival team of his father, former USC and San Francisco 49ers safety Tim McDonald. Rams coach Jeff Fisher also is a former USC safety. "That was a hold your breath pick because we were a bit nervous," Fisher said, He was worried another team would select McDonald before the 71st pick. "I followed T.J. the last couple years. T.J. is a big safety that moves well, covers and can hit. "His dad played a little heavier than T.J. is now, but T.J. is a fine athlete. Long arms. "
McDonald, who led USC with 112 tackles last season, said he was happy to play for a coach who knew his father and attended his alma mater.
"It's a blessing that they picked me," he said.
The draft continues today and Barkley will be the focal point. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who need a quarterback, have the first selection of the fourth round. Other players waiting to be selected are USC cornerback Nickell Robey and USC center Khaled Holmes.

Jessica Simpson Dishes On Wedding Details!
Listen to Jessica Simpson Radio on iHeartRadio
Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson open up about their wedding in the new issue of People, sharing their favorite photos and memories from the big day.
The longtime couple wed last weekend at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, Calif., before 275 guests.
"It's all about family for us," says Simpson, and their nuptials were no different.
The singer's mom Tina and sister Ashlee served as maids of honor (in addition to 12 bridesmaids), while Ashlee's fiancé Evan Ross was among Johnson's 11 groomsmen.
Johnson's father was his best man, while Simpson's dad, Joe, officiated the non-denominational ceremony.
When the couple's kids — 2-year-old Maxwell and 1-year-old Ace — walked down the aisle as the flower girl and ring bearer, "I kept hearing all the applause, so my kids got standing ovations," Simpson gushes to the magazine.
Of course, the main event was the star herself making her grand entrance.
Johnson recalls, "I saw my gorgeous wife coming towards me and she was crying. I think my heart was exploding a little bit."
And with good reason.
"It's so surreal," says Simpson. "This has been something we've wanted ever since we met."
The full interview hits newsstands Friday.
Check out behind-the-scenes video from the wedding below!

The Subaru Impreza is a compact sedan or hatchback that stands as a very strong value, offering standard all-wheel drive in models that are priced competitively with the front-wheel-drive offerings from competitors. The Impreza is also the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive car available in America, and it offers confident handling in part because of that drivetrain. The Impreza is a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.
Compare the 2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon against similar models
Following a 2015 refresh, the 2016 Subaru Impreza carries over largely unchanged.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2016 Subaru Impreza Wagon. Select the color to see a close-up view.
Among compacts, the all-wheel-drive Subaru Impreza is unbeatable for snow and foul weather. Impreza comes in hatchback and sedan versions (plus WRX and Crosstrek versions covered separately). All are able to handle primitive roads, come standard with Subaru's proven all-wheel drive, and get good fuel economy.
The Impreza got a fresh face for the 2015 model year, slimmer pillars for visibility, upgraded infotainment, new safety features, and better fuel economy. For 2016, Impreza carries over with no substantial changes.
The 2016 Subaru Impreza is EPA-rated at 28/37 City/Highway miles per gallon with the CVT, or 3 mpg less with the manual, all excellent for all-wheel drive.
The 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine sends 148 horsepower and 145 foot-pounds of torque to all four wheels. A lovely five-speed manual gearbox is standard, while upper models get Subaru's Lineartronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), which yields better fuel mileage but is sluggish when power is needed quickly.
The 2016 Impreza leads its class in safety. A rearview camera comes standard, while an optional EyeSight system uses cameras and sensors for adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and pre-collision braking. The IIHS rates the system Superior and gives Impreza a mark of Top Safety Pick Plus, with a top score in the tough new small-overlap frontal test (telephone pole). The NHTSA gives the Impreza five stars overall.
The 2016 Subaru Impreza comes in base, Premium, Limited and Sport Limited models, as a sedan or five-door hatchback, with manual gearbox or CVT. A new model for 2016 is the 2.0i Sport Premium five-door, with rocker spoilers, 17-inch alloys, roof rails and unique seat fabric.
The Impreza doesn't have the forward shape of the Ford Focus or the sporty clean lines of the Mazda3, but the proportions of the five-door work well. We like the sporty and cohesive lines of the five-door more than the taller sedan, which looks homely even with a trunk lip spoiler.
The hawkeye headlamps, trapezoidal grille and front bumper look fresh but mature in the sense that they make the Impreza look like the larger Legacy, as intended. Pre-2015 models looked dowdy and awkward. Now the Impreza looks distinctive.
The character lines on the sides of the car are conservative, unlike the contours and creases common in over-achieving small cars nowadays. Big wheel arches make the car look lower, but also make even the 17-inch wheels look too small. You can't see the undertray, but you'll like knowing it's there, as it improves aerodynamics which raises fuel mileage.
Not surprisingly, knowing Subaru's no-nonsense simplicity and utility, the cabin is well designed. There's an abundance of rear legroom, and the rear seats easily fold flat for cargo. There's an abundance of cubbyholes and cupholders, bins and trays, also two 12-volt outlets.
The gauge layout is basic, with a cowl over the speedo and tach, and a small display screen between them. There's a wider display in the center of the dash, with digital info that's easy to read.
The cabin can be a bit loud on rough pavement, even with thicker window glass from 2015.
It might not be fair to compare the Impreza to similar five-door compacts because it's all-wheel drive, but still, we have to say the Impreza isn't as much fun to drive as the Ford Focus or Mazda 3. The Impreza is balanced (its boxer engine helps a lot), responsive and free of drama, but it lacks that edgy and athletic feel. Its 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque is adequate but underwhelming.
The horizontally opposed engine carries its weight low, and is mounted in the Impreza frame as low and far back as possible. This gives a low center of gravity, which enables stability in quick corners and esses. The feedback of electric power steering system is very good, while the brakes are progressive and reassuring.
We like the 5-speed manual transmission. The CVT, even with paddle shifters and programmed steps, makes the engine feel sluggish at times. The CVT still allows quick acceleration, but it's slow to rev when power is quickly needed.
The all-wheel-drive system is different with the CVT. The manual cars get a basic viscous coupling in the center differential, while the CVT is uses an electronically controlled hydraulic clutch to apply torque front to rear. Subaru has for many years used different all-wheel-drive systems with different transmissions. Subaru dominated the World Rally Championship with its all-wheel-drive expertise.
It's hard to find a car that offers more for less money. The utility and versatility of the Impreza fits into many lifestyles.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

The one day event will be comprised of two presentations and an expert panel discussion inviting members of the press and public to ask hard technical questions of the relevant experts. The morning lecture will be from experienced Architect Richard Gage AIA representing Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth presenting 9/11: Blueprint for Truth - The Architecture of Destruction. The afternoon presentation will be from Steven Jones Ph.D., presenting research based on his scientific team's recent published findings asking What is Nanothermite, a high-tech explosive material, doing in the dust from WTC building collapses on 9/11? A late afternoon panel discussion will follow, comprised of highly qualified experts including Structural Engineer Paul Mason, Chemist Dr. Frank Legge and Dr. David Leifer, a senior lecturer in architecture at Sydney University.
Date: Saturday, November 14th 2009.
An international conference featuring some of the world's leading experts and activists in the 9/11 Truth Movement!Sydney Day 1 - The Hard Evidence (Main Event)

WAP4410N - Will these ever work properly?
I have owned one of these for about 2 years now, and have sold many of these to clients. Luckily, none of them get used too much as they require constant rebooting, and it would appear as though all versions of the firmware are unreliable. Some simply don't work, other work for a day or two at a time between reboots.
Does anyone have a solution to getting these to work properly? When I say properly, I mean, you turn it on, configure it and then use it. That's it. No rebooting, not even once a year.
