CARACAS -- In life, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez could always draw a crowd — whether dancing in the rain or riding atop a truck through the streets of Caracas. In death, he did not disappoint: Red-clad followers choked streets Wednesday, some hanging over bridges, as they sang and wept behind a hearse carrying his remains.
His brown wooden casket, surrounded by a civilian and military escort, left the Carlos Aveledo Military Hospital about 11 a.m. draped in the Venezuelan flag and topped with a wreath. When it arrived at the Military Academy seven hours later, it was piled high with flowers, hats and T-shirts thrown by the surging crowds.
The emotional procession was a fitting end for Chávez, 58, whose down-to-earth political style and "Bolivarian Revolution" made him a hero to the poor and helped fuel massive political rallies.
Victor Davila, a 33-year-old chef, was planning to follow the funeral hearse all day. He said he had attended dozens of Chávez's rallies over the years and said the massive turnouts proved the nation's love for their fallen leader.
"Look at all these people," he said, gesturing toward the crowds. "They didn't want to miss his final march."
Chávez, a fiery socialist who led the country for 14 years, died Tuesday after an almost two-year battle with cancer. During his tenure, he poured the nation's oil wealth into social programs, including free healthcare, education and subsidized housing that won the gratitude of many and helped build an unassailable political base.
As a brass band played, soldiers marched his casket into the atrium of the Military Academy, where the one-time tank commander got his training and recruited fellow cadets to join a coup in 1992. The coup failed, but it launched his political career and he won the presidency seven years later. Venezuelans have been invited to view his body, which will lay in state until Friday.
Never defeated at the ballot box, Chávez's death gives Venezuela's battered opposition a chance to see if they can do better against his handpicked successor, Vice President Nicolás Maduro.
Under the constitution, new elections should be held within 30 days, and many in Wednesday's crowd said they would back Maduro as a tribute to Chávez.
"For us revolutionaries, Maduro is no longer Maduro, he is Chávez," said Carlos Araujo, a 35-year-old electrical worker.
Maduro, 50, walked in front of the hearse, jostled by the crowds and accompanied by Bolivian President Evo Morales and other cabinet members. The funeral could kick off an intense political race for the one-time union organizer and former foreign minister.
To remain at the helm, he'll likely have to face 40-year-old Henrique Capriles, the energetic governor of Venezuela's most populous state, Miranda. Capriles ran against Chávez in October, and although he failed to win, he attracted a record number of votes. That has made him the perceived frontrunner as the coalition of opposition parties, known as the MUD, tries to choose a single candidate to take on the administration.
A source close to the MUD, who was not authorized to speak to the media, said the eventual contender would not be announced until the government sets the date for new elections.

Neoteny (/niːˈɒtɨni/ /niːˈɒtni/,[1][2][3] or /niːˈɒtəni/[4]) also called juvenilization,[5] is one of the three ways by which paedomorphism can arise. Paedomorphism or paedomorphosis is the retention by adults of traits previously seen only in juveniles, and is a subject studied in the field of developmental biology. In neoteny, the physiological (or somatic) development of an organism (typically an animal) is slowed or delayed. In contrast, in progenesis, sexual development occurs faster. Both processes result in paedomorphism.[6] Ultimately this process results in the retention, in the adults of a species, of juvenile physical characteristics well into maturity and pedogenesis (paedogenesis), the reproduction in a neotenized state.[7]
Neoteny is one of three dimensions of heterochrony, or the change in timing of developmental events: acceleration (faster) vs. neoteny (slower), hypermorphosis (further) vs. progenesis (not as far), and predisplacement (begins earlier) vs. postdisplacement (begins later).[8]
The word neoteny is borrowed from the German Neotenie, the latter constructed from the Greek νέος (neos, young) and τείνειν (teínein, to extend). The adjective form of the word is either "neotenic" or "neotenous".[9] For the opposite of "neotenic", different authorities use either "gerontomorphic"[10] or "peramorphic".[11]
In humans[edit]
Neotenic traits in humans[edit]
These are neotenic traits in humans: flattened face,[5] broadened face,[13] large brain,[5] hairless body,[5] hairless face,[14] small nose,[14] reduction of brow ridge,[5] small teeth,[5] small upper jaw (maxilla),[5] small lower jaw (mandible),[5] thinness of skull bones,[13] limbs proportionately short compared to torso length,[13] longer leg than arm length,[15] larger eyes,[16] and upright stance.[10][17]
Human evolution[edit]
Many prominent evolutionary theorists propose that neoteny has been a key feature in human evolution. Stephen Jay Gould believed that the "evolutionary story" of humans is one where we have been "retaining to adulthood the originally juvenile features of our ancestors".[18] J.B.S. Haldane mirrors Gould's hypothesis by stating a "major evolutionary trend in human beings" is "greater prolongation of childhood and retardation of maturity."[5] Delbert D. Thiessen claimed that "neoteny becomes more apparent as early primates evolved into later forms" and that primates have been "evolving toward flat face."[19] However, in light of some groups using arguments based around neoteny to support racism, Gould also argued "that the whole enterprise of ranking groups by degree of neoteny is fundamentally unjustified" (Gould, 1996, pg. 150).[20]
Stanley Greenspan and Stuart G. Shanker proposed a theory in The First Idea of psychological development in which neoteny is seen as crucial for the "development of species-typical capacities" that depend upon a long period of attachment to caregivers for the opportunities to engage in and develop their capacity for emotional communication. Because of the importance of facial expression in the process of interactive signaling, neotenous features, such as hair loss, allow for more efficient and rapid communication of socially important messages that are based on facially expressive emotional signaling.[21]
Other theorists have argued that neoteny has not been the main cause of human evolution, because humans only retain some juvenile traits, while relinquishing others.[22] For example, the high leg-to-body ratio (long legs) of adult humans as opposed to human infants shows that there is not a holistic trend in humans towards neoteny when compared to the other great apes.[22][23] Andrew Arthur Abbie agrees, citing the gerontomorphic fleshy human nose and long human legs as contradicting the neoteny hominid evolution hypothesis, although he does believe humans are generally neotenous.[10] Brian K. Hall also cites the long legs of humans as a peramorphic trait, which is in sharp contrast to neoteny.[11]
On the balance, an all or nothing approach could be regarded as pointless, with a combination of heterochronic processes being more likely and more reasonable (Vrba, 1996).
Between sexes[edit]
Ashley Montagu notes the following neotenous traits in women relative to men: more delicate skeleton, smoother ligament attachments, smaller mastoid processes, reduced brow ridges, more forward tilt of the head, narrower joints, less hairy, retention of fetal body hair, smaller body size, more backward tilt of pelvis, greater longevity, lower basal metabolism, faster heartbeat, greater extension of development periods, higher pitched voice and larger tear ducts.[5]
Note that Cro-Magnon humans (40,000 to 10,000 years ago) differed from co-existing Neanderthalers in the following ways: "higher forehead, less prominent brow ridges, smaller teeth, less robust bodies, and reduced sexual dimorphism."[24]
Attractive women's faces[edit]
The examples and perspective in this section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (January 2012) |
This section relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (January 2012) |
In a cross-cultural study, more neotenized female faces were the most attractive to men while less neotenized female faces were the least attractive to men, regardless of the females' actual age.[25] Using a panel of "Asian", "Hispanic" and "White" judges, Michael R. Cunningham found that the Asian, Hispanic and White female faces found most attractive were those that had "neonate large eyes, greater distance between eyes, and small noses"[26] and his study led him to conclude that "large eyes" were the most "effective" of the "neonate cues".[26] Cunningham also said that "shiny" hair may be indicative of "neonate vitality".[26]
Cunningham noted a "difference" in the preferences of Asian and White judges with Asian judges preferring women with "less mature faces" and smaller mouths than the White judges.[26] Cunningham hypothesized that this difference in preference may stem from "ethnocentrism" since "Asian faces possess those qualities", so Cunningham re-analyzed the data with "11 Asian targets excluded" and concluded that "ethnocentrism was not a primary determinant of Asian preferences."[26] Using a panel of "Blacks" and "Whites" as judges, Cunningham found more neotenous faces were perceived as having both higher "femininity" and "sociability".[26]
In contrast, Cunningham found that faces that were "low in neoteny" were judged as "intimidating".[26] Upon analyzing the results of his study Cunningham concluded that preference for "neonate features may display the least cross-cultural variability" in terms of "attractiveness ratings".[26] In a study of Italian women who have won beauty competitions, it was found these women had faces characterized by more "babyness" traits compared to the "normal" women used as a reference.[27] In a study of sixty Caucasian female faces, the average facial composite of the fifteen faces found most attractive differed from the facial composite of the whole by having a reduced lower facial region, a thinner jaw, and a higher forehead.[28]
Between races and among primates[edit]
Stephen Jay Gould objected to the ranking of races as more or less neotenous. But Gould argued that if one used the terms set forth by 1920s proponents of racial neoteny, "Asians" are "clearly" the most neotenized human race.[20]
Ashley Montagu mirrored this statement when he stated that the "Mongoloid skull, whether Chinese or Japanese" is the most neotenized human skull.[5] Ashley Montagu further claimed that the "European" skull was less neotenized than the Mongoloid, with the "Australian Aborigine" skull less neotenized than the European and the Neanderthal skull even less neotenized than the Australian Aborigine skull.[5] Ashley Montagu claimed that humans have more neotenized skulls than Australopithecus.[29]
Delbert D. Thiessen claimed that Homo sapiens are more neotenized than Homo erectus, Homo erectus was more neotenized than Australopithecus, Great Apes are more neotenized than Old World monkeys and Old World monkeys are more neotenized than New World monkeys.[19]
Nancy Lynn Barrickman claimed Brian T. Shea found by multivariate analysis that Bonobos are more neotenized than the common chimpanzee, taking into account such features as the proportionately long torso length of the Bonobo.[30] Ashley Montagu believed that part of the differences seen in the morphology of "modernlike types of man" can be attributed to different rates of "neotenous mutations" in their early populations.[31]
According to Ashley Montagu, "The Mongoloid skull has proceeded further than in any other people."[5] "The Mongoloid skull, whether Chinese or Japanese, has been rather more neotenized than the Caucasoid or European."[5] "The female skull, it will be noted, is more pedomorphic in all human populations than the male skull."[5]
In Montagu's list of "[n]eotenous structural traits in which Mongoloids... differ from Caucasoids", Montagu lists "Larger brain, larger braincase, broader skull, broader face, flat roof of the nose, inner eye fold, more protuberant eyes, lack of brow ridges, greater delicacy of bones, shallow mandibular fossa, small mastoid processes, stocky build, persistence of thymus gland into adult life, persistence of juvenile form of zygomatic muscle, persistence of juvenile form of superior lip muscle, later eruption of full dentition (except second and third molars), less hairy, fewer sweat glands, fewer hairs per square centimeter [and] long torso".[5]
An interpretation of a claim by zoologist Clive Bromhall is that "Mongoloid races are explained in terms of being the most extreme pedomorphic humans."[32]
Richard Grossinger claimed, "The intuition that advanced human development was pedomorphic rather than recapitulationary and accelerated was disturbing to many Eurocentric nineteenth century anthropologists."[33] "If juvenilization was the characteristic for advanced status, then it was clear that the Mongoloid races were more deeply fetalized in most respects and thus capable of the greatest development."[33]
Stephen Oppenheimer claimed, "An interesting hypothesis put forward by paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould many years ago was that the package of the Mongoloid anatomical changes could be explained by the phenomenon of neoteny, whereby an infantile or childlike body form is preserved in adult life. Neoteny in hominids is still one of the simplest explanations of how we developed a disproportionately large brain so rapidly over the past few million years. The relatively large brain and the forward rotation of the skull on the spinal column, and body hair loss, both characteristic of humans, are found in foetal chimps. Gould suggested a mild intensification of neoteny in Mongoloids, in whom it has been given the name pedomorphy. Such a mechanism is likely to involve only a few controller genes and could therefore happen over a relatively short evolutionary period. It would also explain how the counterintuitive retrousse [turned up at the end] nose and relative loss of facial hair got into the package."[34] "[D]ecrease unnecessary muscle bulk, less tooth mass, thinner bones and smaller physical size; ...this follows the selective adaptive model of Mongoloid evolution."[34]
According to Ashley Montagu, Bushmen have the following neotenous traits relative to Caucasoids: large brain, light skin pigment, less hairy, round-headed, bulging forehead, small cranial sinuses, flat roof of the nose, small face, small mastoid processes, wide eye separation, median eye fold, short stature and horizontal penis.[5]
According to Ashley Montagu, Negroids have the following neotenous traits relative to Caucasoids: flattish nose, flat roof of the nose, small ears, narrower joints, frontal skull eminences, later closure of the premaxillary sutures, less hairy, longer eyelashes and cruciform pattern of the lower second and third molars.[5]
Humans have been evolving toward greater "psychological-neoteny".[35] Highly educated people and eminent scientists usually demonstrate more neotenous psychological traits,.[36] In fact, the ability of an adult human to learn has long been considered a neotenous trait.[37] Physical neotenization in humans has, likewise, caused psychologically neotenous traits in humans: curiosity, playfulness, affection, sociality and an innate desire to cooperate.[38]
Specific neotenies[edit]
Populations with a history of dairy farming have evolved to be lactose tolerant in adulthood whereas other populations generally lose the ability to break down lactose as they grow into adults.[39]
Down syndrome[edit]
Down syndrome neotenizes the brain and body.[40] Down syndrome is characterized by decelerated maturation (neoteny), incomplete morphogenesis (vestigia) and atavisms.[41] Dr. Weihs considers Down syndrome to be a condition of "neoteny" that makes people "like a baby."[42]
He notes both the physical neoteny of people with Down syndrome: "round in shape," "bowed legs which tend to be short," "slanty eyes," a "long tongue" and "short fingers," and their mental neoteny: "unsexual," "playful," "affectionate," "mischievous" and "imitative".[42]
Anime and manga[edit]
Dr. Thomas LaMarre, professor of East Asian Studies and Art History at McGill University, claimed that after World War II, Japanese people as shown in their manga (漫画 ) and anime (アニメ ) became "fascinated" with neoteny and "cuteness".[43]
Neoteny in Other Species[edit]
Neoteny has been observed in many other species. Neoteny in amphibians seems to be the most widely studied aside from in humans; many examples of neoteny in other species stem from studies done mainly on salamanders. There is also a general prevalence of increased neoteny within domesticated animals like dogs. Neoteny has been noted in species similar to humans, like chimpanzees; the neotenous traits within the species that resemble those within humans may give some insight into the evolutionary history of humans. What can be gathered from many studies on neoteny in various species is that organisms with similar lineages tend to neotenize, retain similar features from the juvenile form into adulthood.
There is a distinct difference between partial and full neoteny in other species. Partial neoteny is the retention of the larval form beyond the usual age of maturation with the possibility of the development of sexual organs, progenesis, but eventually the organism matures into the adult form; this can be seen in Rana Clamata, a species of frog. Full neoteny is seen in Amblystoma tigrinum, the tiger salamander. This species is part of a larger group, perrenobranchiates. The species within this group are considered to be permanent larval forms which means that they are capable of reproducing and they do not evolve into adult forms.[44] A few species of birds show partial neoteny. A couple examples of such species are Chiroxiphia linearis and Chiroxiphia caudata. The males of both species retain their juvenile plumage into adulthood, but eventually lose it once they are fully mature.[45] It is important to note the difference between partial and full neoteny when looking at other species.
Neoteny is seen more in domesticated animals like dogs and mice.[46] This is because there are more resources available, less competition for those resources, and with the lowered competition the animals expend less energy obtaining those resources. This allows them to mature and reproduce more quickly than their wild counterparts.[46] Evolutionary neoteny can arise in a species when those conditions occur, and a species becomes sexually mature ahead of its "normal development". Another explanation for the neoteny in domesticated animals can be the selection for certain behavioral characteristics. Behavior is linked to genetics which therefore means that when a behavioral trait is selected for, a physical trait may also be selected for due to mechanisms like linkage disequilibrium. Some common neotenous physical traits in domesticated animals (mainly dogs, pigs, ferrets, cats, and even foxes) include: floppy ears, changes in reproductive cycle, curly tails, piebald coloration, fewer or shortened vertebra, large eyes, rounded forhead, large ears, and shortened muzzle.[47][48]
It is important to note that neoteny arises from a change in the timing of development; these changes occur at the genetic level, so it stands to reason that similar species will neotenize similar features independently of one another. Gene analysis involving sequences that determine neotenized features in the order Coleoptera, mainly beetles, showed that species with related lineages are likely to neotenize features, like retention of the larval form or features well into the age of sexual maturity, independently because they have similar gene sequences.[49] Neoteny is a way to produce novel features through changes in timing and development as seen in these beetle species.[50] Neoteny is commonly seen in flightless insects like the females in the order Strepsiptera.[51] The flightless trait in insects has evolved many separate times; environments that may have contributed to the separate evolution of this trait are: high altitudes, isolation on islands, and insects that reside in colder climates.[52]
Many species of salamander, and amphibians in general, are known to have neotenized characteristics. The axolotl is a species of salamander that retains its juvenile aquatic form throughout adulthood, which is an excellent example of full neoteny.[44] Gills are a common juvenile characteristic in amphibians that are kept after maturation; a good example of this would be a comparison of the tiger salamander and the rough-skinned newt, both of which retain gills into adulthood.[44]
Pygmy chimpanzees share many physical characteristics with humans. A prime example is their skulls. Pygmy chimpanzees show neoteny in the structure of their skulls.[53] They retain the juvenile shape of the skull which does not change into adulthood, it only increases with size. This is due to sexual dimorphism and an evolutionary change in timing of development.[54] Juveniles became sexually mature before their bodies had fully developed into adulthood, and due to some selective advantage the neotenic structure of the skull remained in later generations.
More examples of neoteny can be seen in these other species:
- The families: Gerridae, Delphacidae, and Carabidae. Many of the insect species within these families have smaller, neotenous wings or no wings at all.[52]
- Some cricket species which shed their wings in adulthood.[52]
- Beetles of the genus Ozopemon; the males are thought to be the first known example of neoteny in the order Coleoptera. They are significantly smaller than the females and it is thought that the neoteny in males is linked to the inbreeding within species.[55]
- Kalotermes flavicollis: a termite that shows neoteny in females during molting.[56]
- The Northwestern Salamander: higher altitude causes greater neotenic tendencies.[57]
- The rook, Corvus frugilegus: the evolution of birds from dinosaurs may be linked to dimorphism through neoteny.[56]
- A few species of the family Ischnomesidae, crustaceans.[58]
Domestication has involved selection for behavioral characteristics that characterize young animals. Because "behavior is rooted in biology", domestication has resulted in an array of similar neotenous physical traits having arisen in various domesticated animals.[59] Neotenous physical traits in domesticated animals (such as dogs, pigs, ferrets, somewhat less in cats and most recently foxes) include floppy ears, changes in reproductive cycle, curly tails, piebald coloration, fewer or shortened vertebra,[59] large eyes, rounded forehead, large ears and shortened muzzle.[47]
In design[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (October 2013) |
Neoteny in design differs from biological neoteny as it refers to the purposeful integration and simulation of neotenous traits in anything that requires technical design from fictional characters, clothing, cartoons, art, food or any other form of artistic expression. By inserting neotenous traits, it can make certain subjects gain a cuter, more innocent or more wholesome appearance. Neoteny in design seeks to appeal to potential consumers in hopes of either increasing sales or improving the reception or approval of the target or potential audience by inciting an adoring reaction to something intended to be "cute". A popular series featuring cute characters is the Pokémon franchise. For more information on cuteness in Japanese popular culture see kawaii. For a specific type of designed cuteness, see moe.
By making their product or artwork display neotenous traits, designers attempt to sway people to enjoy or desire their product because it appears childish, adorable, soft or otherwise desirable. By making a product cute, the nucleus accumbens in the human brain is targeted and elicits a protective or coddling response, which encourages an individual to acquire (purchase) said item. By designing items, characters, food or anything else in this manner, product designers attempt to create the same reaction to a product that a human baby could create. This is one reason that certain cute products become so collectable and sought after, such as stuffed animals, dolls, toys, miniature figurines and models and even pets. Through design, producers can encourage the same protective feeling in people as what would usually be felt when seeing a lost child.
In another sense, neoteny in design can also pertain to making media seem more humorous or carefree. Cartoons marketed to children and their parents will usually not deal with adult problems or use crude language because this makes them non-childlike (or non-neotenous). Crude humor or slapstick comedy often rely on elements that even young children find amusing such as farting, burping, silly faces, minor physical harm. Such comedy is often labeled as crude because it calls upon neotenous habits that are generally seen as being outside of civilized society.

Cashton man dies on the day he was to be married
Family and friends gathered in Cashton to pay respects to a young man who died from injuries he suffered in an accident on the day he was to be married.
Jacob Gronemus, 22, suffered third-degree burns over 75 percent of his body in a welding accident Oct. 1. He died Saturday in Madison at the University Hospital burn unit — the day he was to marry 19-year-old Ashley Kast.
Tears turned to laughter Wednesday as family and friends shared their memories of Jake.
Kast said she met her fiance when she was in high school. It was almost exactly one year ago that he proposed, Kast said.
"He took me squirrel hunting," Kast chuckled through her tears. "I came back with a ring."
Family members said Jake was the oldest of four siblings and was a role model at home, at school and on the football field, where he played fullback for the Cashton Eagles. His brothers, Mark and Nick, carry on his tradition on the team.
"He was always the one giving the hits right back," Mark said. "He was aggressive."
Off the field, he was described as kind, generous and hardworking with a luminous smile and an old fashioned kind of courtesy. Before he proposed to Ashley, he took her father, Gabe Clark, out to dinner and asked for his blessing.
"He was perfect for Ashley," Clark said. "She was a better person for knowing him. We all were."

I was going to call these Grill Fries, but that just doesn't make any sense at all! Right!? After all, they aren't fried.
What they are though, is crispy, and damn tasty! They're actually really easy to make. The trick is to not put too many wedges on the grill at one time, or you WILL burn them. Then the word crispy takes on a whole new meaning. And it ain't good!
- 2 Russet potatoes
- 6 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Spike seasoning
- Clean and wash your potatoes, then cut them into 16 lengthwise wedges. I cut the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half, then each quarter in half. Then cut each of those one more time and you get 16 wedges.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and spice together. Now brush this onto all the surfaces of the wedges and put them into a microwave safe container.
- Microwave on high for approximately 3 1/2 minutes to get them close to being done, but not quite fully cooked. Stir the wedges at every minute interval. Test them with a fork periodically.
- Lay the wedges directly on the grill over a medium hot grill. Only put as many on at a time that you feel you can flip quickly. Too many, and they'll start burning. Each side cooks to a perfect crispiness in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.

Samsung's investment in Sharp could prick Apple
With Apple reportedly trying to reduce its reliance on Samsung, things just got a bit harder with the Korean company investing $111 million for a 3 percent stake in another big Apple supplier: Sharp.
While Samsung says it won't get involved with Sharp's business management in "any way or form," it will be getting a "steady" supply of LCD (liquid crystal display) panels used for smartphone and tablet displays. And it probably will get a line of sight into Sharp's future products and customers, as … Read more

Alright guys- I'm really hurting and have tried everything and seen multiple doctors but still having problems and now it's worsening.
I am 24 tomorrow. Played high school and college football until I was 22. Since I was 21 I've had what started As hip flexor bulging, swelling and tightness and has progressed to piriformis pain and swelling with lower back swelling/bulging of muscle muscles, knee clicking, and swelling that radiates up and down my right side from shoulder blades to ankles.
I am very flexible and stretch regularly, foam roll, ice, heat, naproxen, etc. Nothing seems to alleviate the pain EXCEPT for inactivity. That is not an option. I run hiit 2-3 days a week and lift 4-5. I also wait tables for work and am still in school so I'm either walking or sitting for long periods of time on a given day.
I believed the injury first began from heavy leg presses and back squatting. I stopped those upon ending football and no change. Walking incline seems to irritate it, as well as any hip dominant exercises including ab work where hip flexors r engaged.
I have been to chiropractors, orthopedics, and osteopaths. No one has been able to assist or relieve the pain. I stopped dead lifting and pain got better for a while, then the pain retuned and I felt my Low back was noticeably weaker and in more pain. So, I resumed deads and low back felt stronger but then pain and swelling then returned to the hip flexor region. It seems I cannot do anything without some sort of negative effect.
I am now walking with a slight limp. One shoulder also is hangin slightly lower than the other. One leg is also slightly loneger than the other (determined by a dr.)
Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is this discussion about? Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Sedan, Wagon
Article comments for
First Drive: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX - Now that Subaru has abandoned its flirtation with the big-grille design ethic that has changed the look of so many cars in the last five years, its designers have gone for something more mainstream. (more)
Full Test: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX - Power delivery is improved, as peak power of 224 horsepower comes 400 rpm earlier at 5,200 rpm, while peak torque of 226 pound-feet arrives 800 rpm earlier at 2,800 rpm. Peak boost is 11.9 psi. The five-speed transmission has less aggressive ratios in 1st through 3rd gears, but the final drive is shorter: 3.90:1 instead of the former 3.70:1. (more)

By Kate Hosford and Gabi Swiatkowska Price: $16.95; Ages 7 and up
Infinity can be a confusing but captivating concept for children. Uma, the 8-year-old at the center of this story, explores the idea of infinity in ways that kids can grasp: countless stars in the sky, a figure-eight racetrack, boundless love from a grandparent.

Things I liked:Metal slide and mag.Gun feels good in your hand,good balance.Nice weight.Easy loading with enclosed speed loader. Got the 10 for $10.00 and this pistol rocked the crono at 400+ fps. Accuracy was good at 20 to 30 feet. What others should know:Had this Sig for a week and the double action quit working.Take out mag and double action worked fine.Put a fresh mag in and I had to push trigger back with my finger to fire next round.As usual Pyramyd Air was fantastic and I returned it for a refund.Found a Full Metal Airsoft P229 that I will get instead of this one.I wish that they would come out with a P229 Full Metal in .177 (4.5mm). Comments
"AMEN !!!" on wanting to have a Full Metal P229 in .177 (4.5mm) !! I have the full-metal P229 in airSOFT. It's my favorite air pistol: the weight, feel, design, accuracy, blowback --- BUT, --- it's NOT in .177 (4.5mm)!! The orange barrel tip and having to fill it with gas instead of utilizing a CO2 cartridge just takes some of the fun and continuity of shooting away from the airSOFT P229. Here's hoping SOMEONE in the airgun pistol industry is listening to it's customers. We need more voices of support, though. How 'bout it, airgun pistol aficionados ?!!? David C in California Things I liked:Metal slide and mag.Construction is great,well made.Price is outstanding.100 plus shots on CO2 cartridge.Easy loading of BB's. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Just got this SP 2022 today(Jan 30,2013) put 200 rounds thru it and not a single misfire or jam.Got the 10 for $10.00 with this and the chrono tape has it at 400 plus FPS.Absolutely OUTSTANDING.Accuracey is not to great.Shoots 2 inches low and 2 inches to the left at 20 feet.Seems to get better at 30-35 feet.Right now I figure that after some rounds it should straighten out alittle better.All in all if I was using a man size target I would be shooting a 5 1/2 inch pattern which would be fatal.So nice gun and alot of fun to shoot.GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY AND BE SURE TO GET THE 10 SHOTS FOR $10.00.That way you know when it arrives its not a lemon.This is my 2nd SIG,my first is the P226 X-Five Open and it is also an awesome gun,and really accurate.Shoots a 2 inch pattern at 30 feet.Pyramyd Air is fantastic.Won't buy from anywhere else. Things I liked:Balance, weight and feel is very close to the my SP2022 .40SW. Accuracy is good. Fun to shoot and a CO2 cartridge will last an acceptable time. Rail system below the barrel is nice for practicing witha laser sight. Things I would have changed:Make the sights exactly match the real thing (i.e. add the white dots to the back sight). Offer extra mags for sale and create an auto loader like the Crosman auto loader I have for my Makarov. What others should know:If you want an air gun that lets you keep up your shooting chops between trips to the range, this pistol will do the trick. Great fun to shoot!

any chance that you could throw this into a honmod

When its all fixed, and he holds the saber it right and has custom sounds, i shall use.

Great work though. Please improve <3

Solid-state drives are relatively new technology for anyone of us, and up until now we've heard only good things about them. They are fast, small, they have no moving parts, but what happens after extensive use of the flash memory that is incorporated in them? Yesterday a review was posted over at PC Perspective, entitled "Long-term performance analysis of Intel Mainstream SSDs". According to the information posted, it appears that Intel's X25-M MLC SSD drives may degrade in performance after a period of time when they are put to extensive use. PC Per claims that once an Intel solid-state drive is used, after a period of time it will no longer be as fast as a new one, neither its rated transfer speeds will be the same. In response, Intel stated today: "Our labs currently have not been able to duplicate these results," "In our estimation, the synthetic workloads they use to stress the drive are not reflective of real world use. Similarly, the benchmarks they used to evaluate performance do not represent what a PC user experiences." Intel also said: "In general, when a PC's drive (SSD or HDD) is full, there will be some reduction in system performance, however the performance reduction reported by PC Perspective is higher than we generally expect, which is why we are looking into the methodology." We'll keep you posted if there's new information on the matter. Source: CNET News, PC Perspective
Actually they can according to PC Per, you can't defrag an SSD currently. You can defrag a regular hard drive to reclaim the performance.
You don't need to defrag an SSD because file fragmentation does not affect sequential or random reads. Free space fragmentation, however, is said to degrade SSD random write performance, and free space consolidation is said to help reclaim performance when it deteriorates after a few months/weeks of use (except for the X-25). http://www.diskeeperblog.com/archives/2008/12/hyperfast_is_al.html http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?p=4351675 BTW, the fragmentation you see in the X-25 is unrelated to file fragmentation; instead, I believe, it is a result of the wear-levelling mechanism of the drive which is different from other SSDs.

Absolutely fabulous!! The only change I made was that I used a large can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I didn't have them on hand. I also used grated Parmesan instead of shredded. Will most definitely make again.
This was fantastic!
This recipe was GREAT! I also used grated Parmesan cheese and it tasted fine. Even my husband (who thinks any meal without meat can't be considered dinner) loved this! Thanks for a great Meatless Monday recipe!
I forgot to mention in my first review that I always use grated parmesan instead of shredded. It's cheaper and melts into the meal.
This recipe is excellent! My 7 year old daughter who doesn't like olives clears her plate. And my husband who is a meat eater through and through loves this recipe! It doesn't reheat well so I cut the recipe in half and usually double the artichokes (2 jars in half the recipe) because the artichokes make it a little meatier.

Hello guys !
I'm making a very classic rock band list with 50-60-70-80-90's songs so I search in the 4300 RB songs .
And in all the RBN list there is , for me , an intruder :
Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire:
Why is this song in RBN and not in "regular" section ?
I know it's not an important question but I"m curious
In fact RBN it's most 2000 - 2013 songs no ?

RAF Odiham pop singer wows Oasis star Noel Gallagher
3:00pm Sunday 7th October 2012 in News By Helen Morton
A POP singer based in RAF Odiham recently had the chance to perform in front of Oasis star Noel Gallagher and his band High Flying Birds.
Kelly Peffers was hand-picked to perform at the band's exclusive after-show party, performing alongside acts such as The Rifles and Paul Gallagher – the lesser-known Mancunian Gallagher brother.
Kelly, who is 25 and a trainee tattooist, has also recently opened for acts such as Basement Jaxx, HotChip and LCD Soundsystem.
Kelly, a mum with two young daughters and who is the wife of an RAF serviceman, said it was a combination of determination and "very, very hard work" that was behind her growing success in the music business.
She said: "I've been working for years getting my music out there. I'd love to be a full-time musician but you have to keep your options open.
"It's a very hard business to get in to."
The aftershow-party, at The Old Fire Station, in Bournemouth, followed the High Flying Birds gig in the B.I.C.
Kelly said: "It was amazing to perform there and great to meet the other musicians. I was gutted I didn't get to meet Noel but I met his brother Paul who was lovely."
Kelly performs under the stage name 'kleeba' and is currently trying to recruit band members to join the outfit.
She has been writing music since her school days and started her career as a studio session singer in the South West.

I have Ulcerative Colitis, and an Android phone. Having a 'food & digestion' journal app would be invaluable to me. Is there a good one out there, or should I go about developing one?
