Turkey’s leading mobile operator by subscribers, Turkcell, has reported revenues of USD1.28 billion for the first quarter of 2009, an 18.5% year-on-year decline attributed by the cellco to depreciation of the Turkish lira against the US dollar. EBITDA for the three months ended 31 March fell by 18.2% to USD472 million, compared to USD577 million in the same period a year earlier. Net income was down 29.3% to USD344.2 million from USD486.8 million in 1Q 2008. ‘I am very pleased that Turkcell’s technology leadership, improved efficiency and customer focus resulted in solid financial results in the first quarter of 2009 despite the global economic downturn,’ Turkcell CEO Sureyya Ciliv said, ‘We plan to build on our strengths in technology, efficiency, and customer service. We are particularly excited about launching 3G services in Turkey within three months.’ The company added 1.3 million net new customers in the quarter, with 36.4 million users at the end of March.
Turkcell, Turkey’s largest mobile operator in terms of subscribers, has reported that it attracted 650,000 net new customers in the final three months of 2008, taking its total user base to 37 million. Rival operator Avea said on Friday that it had gained 244,000 net new subscribers since the implementation of mobile number portability (MNP) in mid-November, meaning that the country’s other cellco, Vodafone, has been the big loser since MNP was introduced; it saw customer numbers fall from 17.36 million at end-September to 16.72 million three months later.
Comverse announced today that UCell Uzbekistan will begin offering new products and services to derive more revenues from voice calls and also improve the experience of mobile phone users with expanded prepaid billing features and ringback tones.
“Comverse’s solutions provide us with the features we need to handle new growth and enrich the user experience with choice, convenience, control and fun,” says Helge Raitanen, Chief Technical Officer at UCell, which is owned by TeliaSonera and managed by the Fintur Holdings B.V. (a joint venture of TeliaSonera and Turkcell).
UCell subscribers now can find out who tried to call them when they were unreachable, even though a message was not left. In a similar fashion, another Comverse service can notify the calling subscriber as soon as the unreachable party becomes available in the network, eliminating the need for repeat dialing. In both cases, free text messages notify subscribers.
Comverse, the world’s leading supplier of software and systems enabling network-based billing and value-added messaging and content services, developed the two services, aptly known as “Who Called” and “Notify Me,” to address the fact that roughly 30 percent of calls go unanswered. These services comprise a part of the Comverse Total Call Completion Solution, whose goal is to bring each call to a satisfactory and billable conclusion.
The new prepaid billing features offer more account management capabilities to UCell subscribers, such as providing balance notifications at the end of calls and the ability to replenish their balances via various services. Comverse Fun Dial™ Ringback Tone service lets users select music and other content for their callers to hear while waiting for calls to be answered.
Comverse’s real-time billing capabilities support UCell’s expanding portfolio of value-added services. “UCell is a forward-thinking operator that realizes just as value-added services can increase user satisfaction and generate growth, the correct billing approach helps turn billing and customer care into new opportunities for revenue and growth,” said Dror Bin, President of Comverse Products Group. “We look forward to broadening our longstanding relationship with UCell.”
Vodafone Turkey has contracted Chinese vendor Huawei Technologies to provide equipment for its 3G network rollout. ‘We signed a five-year agreement with Huawei, which we believe will offer the best technical solution for 3G,’ Ian Gray, head of Vodafone Turkey, said in a statement which was quoted in a Reuters’ report. Vodafone, plus rivals Turkcell and Avea, won 3G licences in Turkey earlier this month.
Mobile network operator Belarusian Telecommunications Network (BeST), which is now majority-owned by Turkey’s Turkcell, is looking to increase its share of the domestic mobile market to around 33% after 2009, as it looks to close the gap on larger rivals MTS Belarus and Mobile Digital Communications (Velcom). In July this year Turkcell agreed to buy an 80% stake in BeST from the State Committee on Property of the Republic of Belarus for USD500 million, plus a further payment of USD100 million when BeST records its first full-year profit. Turkcell also agreed to invest USD500 million in the company’s development over the next ten years. BeST currently has around 200,000 customers, a market share of less than 5%.

WOULD LOVE TO REVISIT
September 1, 2014
I have just completed my vacation at this cottage and I enjoyed my time there. Communication with Rob was excellent from booking to departure.
THE CAMP...I arrived last Saturday on 8/23. It was just me and my dogs. I did not use most of the cottage. Only walked upstairs once to see it, although, the view of the lake from up there is beautiful. Too difficult for my senior dogs to walk up the stairs.
There is a microwave, coffee maker, teapot, stove, refrigerator, cable TV, VCR, and DVD player...all the amenities of home. The TV works fine unless you are trying to watch a VCR movie. The volume does not come through too loud and there is a high pitch that is disturbing. I did not try the DVD player. I was looking for a radio for music. I did not find one. There is a wood stove in the living room that I did not use. The bathroom is small with a shower. The bedroom on the first floor is where I slept. It was convenient. The bed was a bit hard, however, I did not expect it to be like my mattress at home.
There is a fenced in yard that I LOVED, especially for my dogs. There are horseshoes that I did not use. A tether ball, which my dogs enjoyed (so much that I purchased a new one.) A fire pit with wood available, which I did not use. There are boats available. The dock is nice to sit on and relax as well as the wrap around porch and picnic table. Easy entry into the water, which was great. Not too cold or warm. I had great weather and floated on the water a few days. I was sad when I arrived that there was not a gas grill. I was going to bring my travel grill and decided not to. There is a charcoal grill that I did not utilize.
I like to go running. If you want to do this, I would leave the yard and take a right. There is plenty of room on the road to run this direction. If you go left, there is not any paved area for you to run. Be safe.
If you need any swimming or ski supplies, leave the yard, take a left and approx. 1/2 mile on the left is a store. The staff was great, they inflated my float, had great clothing, and friendly prices.
Shopping is not too far away in Bridgton.
Again, thank you Rob for allowing me to rent your chalet. I had a very nice time.

Move over, Mammogram…There’s a More Reliable Breast Cancer Screening on the Scene
Oct 07, 2015 01:16PM
● By Mary-Elizabeth Schurrer
Since 1985, October has been both nationally and internationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM). This annual campaign raises funds for continued medical research, while advocating the importance of yearly breast examinations. Across the globe, men and women bolster the cause by participating in “Races for the Cure,” sporting pink ribbons to signify their support, and donating time, money and manpower to affiliated charities.
Moreover, they dutifully schedule mammogram screenings, as recommended by the American Cancer Society and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. These organizations initially founded BCAM with the goal of promoting mammography as the most reliable tool for early detection. Over the decades, this platform has only intensified, with mammograms now considered the mainstream standard in fighting breast cancer.
However, despite positive strides toward increasing visibility for victims and survivors alike, a lesser-known screening option calls BCAM’s “Get a mammogram!” message into question. Although the medical industry has labeled it “experimental” and FDA-approved only as an adjunctive with mammography, Breast Thermal Imaging, – or breast thermography – a more revealing alternative to mammography, can accurately spot malignant cell indicators years before they would become noticeable as a tumor.
Whereas a conventional mammogram involves x-raying the breast tissue for evidence of tumors, cysts or calcification, breast thermography “is based on detecting physiological changes in the breast which occur long before a physical mass or tumor develops” (The National Business Review). This technology uses infrared cameras to map “temperature patterns of heat emission from the skin’s surface to a depth of about six millimeters.
“The temperature data is then transmitted to a computer and stored as images [hot is illustrated as red, and cold is illustrated as blue]” (The National Business Review). At this point, a thermologist analyzes these heat images for signs of cancerous or precancerous conditions. If the analysis indicates any abnormality, further testing modalities, such as a biopsy, will subsequently be performed.
Mammography cannot penetrate the dense breast tissue in patients under age 40; however, breast thermography is capable of identifying suspicious growths in those as young as 20. “Breast Thermal Imaging is a non-invasive test. It eliminates the risks of [mammogram related] radiation for younger ages and indicates early risk factors for disease development,” explains Rita Rimmer, Certified Clinical Thermographer and owner of the Sarasota-based Health Imaging laboratory.
When utilized in conjunction with self-examination (i.e. probing for lumps or hardened areas by applying pressure in circular motions, from the armpits to the nipple) and wellness-enhancing lifestyle initiatives, breast thermography helps patients, regardless of age bracket, take preventative measures before a suspicious growth develops into a malignant tumor.
Rimmer, a pioneering practitioner of this safe, painless and remarkably effectual technology, has been making early detection both possible and accessible in Southwest Florida since 2000. She notes that many women who visit her practice “have an innate sense that mammograms are harmful to their bodies and generally not effective in detecting active disease.” Therefore, although breast thermography has yet to receive widespread acceptance within conventional medicine, more patients are becoming educated on its benefits.
“Some women come [to Health Imaging] out of curiosity. Some come because they hate the discomfort or radiation dangers associated with mammograms. Some come because they don’t want to depend on mammograms alone. Some come to get another opinion or because they’ve been told they need to have a biopsy. Some are referred by their physician because all other testing is inconclusive.
“Whatever the reason, I salute them! They are taking a step toward a new awareness, not only about other options in detection, but hopefully, about options to proactively prevent disease. They learn about the importance of nutrition, stress management, hormone balancing, wearing bras, self-exams and [taking advantage of] the information available to them. They also gain insights into how they can practice healthier living overall,” continues Rimmer.
Still, several people continue clinging to mainstream medicine’s preferred, if flawed, screening method – mammography – as a result of limited knowledge or even sheer complacency. The test’s annual time table deludes patients into misguidedly assuming they should concern themselves with breast health just once per calendar year. However, that false security could potentially prove fatal.
Rimmer adds, “The message all women hear during the month of October is that having a mammogram is the only protection we have against breast cancer. Can that be? Can we really be so powerless against this insidious disease? Or, are we complacent and gullible, thinking that having a yearly mammogram can save our lives? The answer is ‘yes.’ We’re complacent, gullible and full of fear. Many women walk away from their yearly mammogram, complacent enough to think they don’t need to worry about breast cancer for another year.”
While reassuring in the short-term, Rimmer urges against this narrow mindset, instead encouraging all women – and men, as male breast cancer rates have increased – to become better informed and, therefore, empowered to take active roles in their own well-being. Rather than relying on invasive mammogram screenings once a malignancy has already entered its final stages, then undergoing aggressive treatments like surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, explore other alternatives and learn defensive strategies.
Avoid eating processed, artificial and chemically-engineered ingredients. Incorporate continual vigorous movement into daily routines. Check for any breast irregularities on, at least, a monthly basis. Celebrate the positive, survival-oriented aspects of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but don’t believe the obsolete paradigm that mammography is the sole weapon in your arsenal. Breast thermography could mean the difference between first stage precautionary measures and a late stage double mastectomy. This choice is available for young and older patients alike, with results no less than life-saving.

University’s U-Boat research featured in Assassins Of The Deep
Survey work carried out by Bangor University’s School of Ocean Science’s research vessel the Prince Madog, led to the discovery of submarine U87 which was damaged and sunk on Christmas Day 1917.
The discovery was part of a joint research project with the Royal Commission on Ancient & Historic Monuments in Wales’s Heritage Lottery funded project: Commemorating the Forgotten U-boat War around the Welsh Coast, 1914-18.
Monday’s programme explores three different German U-Boat wrecks from the First and Second World War with maritime archaeologist Dr Innes McCartney of Bournemouth University.
In the story of U87, Innes and Dr Mike Roberts of Bangor University locate the vessel in the Irish Sea, from the University’s research vessel, the Prince Madog, explaining how it was sunk after being attacked by an Allied warship.
Also in the programme, Innes dives the U480 from the 2nd WW only to find it encased in a mysterious rubber coating. Is this one of the first attempts at stealth technology and if so why has the submarine ended up on the bottom of the English Channel? The programme also locates and identifies UC66 off the Isles of Scilly. It was the first submarine to be sunk from the air.
The programme is part of a ten-part series, a coproduction between National Geographic Channel, More 4, Welt 24 (Germany) and Discovery Science in the US. The showing on Monday on More 4 is the world premiere, broadcasts planned for other channels mean that the film will be shown all around the world.
A team of staff from the School of Ocean Sciences led by Dr Mike Roberts have been using a multibeam sonar system and the latest imaging techniques to reveal underwater wrecks from the Great War.
The sonar system on the Prince Madog generates very high resolution, three-dimensional models of the seafloor as the research vessel moves through the water over it and these models can allow researchers to identify objects at near centimetre scale. In water depths of 100 metres, typically found in the Irish Sea, the team are generating models and images of wrecks that can help marine archaeologists confirm their identity and even provide evidence of their demise.
Dr Mike Roberts explains why the information is so valuable:
“While these wartime relics can provide valuable information to historians and archaeologists, they may also help lead to the birth of a new industry. The data we’re collecting is providing unique insights into how these wrecks influence physical and biological processes in the marine environment. This information is being used to support the ambitions of the marine renewable energy sector.
“These images of wrecks reveal how the tide and currents have removed or deposited sediments and how the presence of these structures on the seabed have influenced these processes over time and what might happen when artificial structures are placed in the same or similar areas of seabed.”
Crispin Sadler of production company Mallinson Sadler Productions said:
“We are proud to have collaborated with the crew of the Prince Madog and the team for the Bangor University led by Dr Michael Roberts. Add the historical and archaeological expertise of Dr Innes McCartney from Bournemouth University and we had the ingredients for a fascinating film.

Sunday brunch with a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Merrill Lynch reported 2Q losses at $4.65 billion, bringing the company’s grand total loss to $19 billion in the past year. Merrill Lynch tells consumers there are always smart places for your money. Wonder if the places include Merrill Lynch.
• Florida took the dubious distinction of being the state to lose the most jobs over the past year, dumping 78,100 positions. Wish someone would up the total to 78,101 by axing CSI: Miami star David Caruso.
• DMX was busted again, this time for giving a fake name to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona to avoid paying a $7,500 bill last April. “He’s back in jail again,” said the local sheriff. “I don’t know why judges keep letting this guy out. Every time he goes in there, he gets out on bond.” Better make sure he signs the right name on his release papers.
• As scheduled, Pope Benedict XVI apologized on Saturday for the sexual crimes committed against children by Australia’s Roman Catholic clergy. “I am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the victims have endured and I assure them as their pastor that I too share in their suffering,” said Benedict. The pope expressed similar regret in the U.S. last April. On Sunday, the pope called on young people to spurn materialism by declaring, “In so many of our societies, side by side with material prosperity, a spiritual desert is spreading: an interior emptiness, an unnamed fear, a quiet sense of despair.” Um, maybe the youth fear and despair has to do with encounters with Roman Catholic clergy.
• Brazil’s foreign minister sparked controversy during WTO meetings by declaring rich countries’ deception in trade talks were reminiscent of tactics employed by Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. Hey, nothing speeds up international negotiations like Nazi references.

Disneyland always has something entertaining and hold special entertainment nightly during the peak season as well as weekend entertainment during the off-season. Disneyland usually saves special entertainment for occasions like the 4th of July and Christmas.At least twice each night during the peak season and on weekends during the off-season Disneyland holds a show called Fantasmic.
It takes place on Tom Sawyer's Island, and features many characters as well as music and fireworks. I would recommend getting tickets for this well in advance so you can get the best seats possible. Bear in mind that free seating is also available and is included in your Disneyland park admission price.A show that should not be missed is the musical Snow White which is held in the Fantasyland Theater. If your a Snow White Fan I highly recommend it. Snow White is held several times throughout the day so reservations should not be necessary.
Disneyland holds a parade twice each day called Parade of Dreams which features large colorful floats holding the Disneyland Characters. The parade stops three times a day to do a choreographed show, and most of the Disney Characters are portrayed in the Parade of Dreams.These are just a few of the shows that are available at Disneyland. Entertainment is always non stop and everyday usually calls for something new.
One entertainment that you know will always be at Disneyland And that is their firework shows. The fireworks take place each night just before the park closes for the evening.If the fireworks are too late for you there is a fairly good chance you will see them from a hotel window or balcony.
The absolute best spot for the greatest effect is right in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. I absolutely recommend the fireworks on Fourth of July as they are like no other I have ever seen, they are out of this world.If you are looking for more information or would like to find something specific about the entertainment at Disneyland, visit the website, ask the travel agent you booked with or even call the park as they are always willing to offer assistance. It is a good idea to ask about special events during specific months, so you can determine which one is more to your liking and will suit your travel plans.Although most the entertainment is provided free of charge and is part of your admission price it is important to make sure there isn't a fee as some events do have special seating, or priority seating that requires a fee.
I would check the website or call the park just to be sure..For more information about planning your Disneyland Vacation visit.http://www.just--believe.

At a time when human environmental disturbance is challenging livability on the planet—for humans and nonhumans alike—it is important to find better methods for engaging with the liveliness of landscapes, the relations with which they hang together, and the various ways they are interrupted. This dissertation explores the practices of tracking and gathering as methods for studying such issues facing Kalahari Desert landscapes in Botswana. These ecologically important landscapes are increasingly encroached upon and fragmented by the growing cattle economy and the proliferation of extractive industries into the desert. These trends have led to dramatic declines in wildlife populations and growing desertification of the already arid region. The Kalahari is home to small communities of people, many of whom are former hunter-gatherers whose rights to land and access to wildlife are increasingly inhibited. The government has banned hunting, largely in response to conservationists’ concerns about wildlife. In addition, gathering is increasingly regulated, and cattle colonize areas that are significant for wildlife and San communities. In this context, rather than treating tracking and gathering as objects of study, I take these practices seriously as methods for noticing and theorizing more-than-human landscapes, their transformations, and contingent histories to address challenges facing people and their environments in the Kalahari and beyond.
By focusing on the relational forms of noticing landscapes with San trackers and gatherers, I describe landscapes as always in motion, emergent more-than-human places where assemblages gather, histories are made, and politics enacted. This is in direct contrast to theoretical moves that treat landscapes as background on which histories and politics occur. My dissertation enacts tracking and gathering as a methodology. Beginning with an extension of the concept of tracks and following their movements out to their relations with other landscape actors in each chapter, I emphasize that landscapes are not merely contexts for politics and histories. Rather, landscapes do histories and politics, in spite of efforts to hold these landscapes still as underutilized expanses of resources.
The dissertation itself unfolds, moving out through the landscape by tracking these emergent relations. I argue that tracking is a relational practice of becoming-familiar-with these multiple entanglements of emergent landscapes. The practice of gathering involves much of the same kinds of attention to landscape movements and their coordinations as with tracking. Here, I employ gathering in its double meaning: the practice of collecting and of coming together. The tracks of gathered truffles then lead to the worlds of grass and termites that, in turn, allow for a reflection on Kalahari rangeland ecology and the political economy of the cattle industry. Finally, the dissertation zooms out to the desert’s geomorphology, tracking the movements of geological processes as they gather with the movements of humans and nonhumans to form lively landscape features over the longue duree. Tracking and gathering are methods that allow for an elaboration of these more-than-human landscapes-in-motion, together with their social, political, and economic histories and speculative futures.

Something Rotten! synopsis
Something Rotten! Synopsis - Broadway musicalIn 1590-ies, William Shakespeare was nicknamed as The Bard. Minstrel told the audience the story of two brothers Bottom, who managed the theater troupe. Their patron Lord Clapham announced that the play ‘Richard II’, which was under the maintenance of Nigel & Nick, would be prepared by Shakespeare. Relatives’ indignation knew no bounds – they knew that the playwright has already created the next part of this story and return to the previous one, according to them, was unacceptable. Lord said that if by tomorrow they would not have a new song, he’ll cease to support the theater of Bottoms.
Returning home, Nick & Nigel met yet another sponsor, who wanted to invest in their production, but according to the law had no right to do so, because he was a Jew. When Nick was trying to take money out of a home piggy bank, he received a comeuppance from his wife. Eventually, the man managed to get to these coins in several days. Bottom was going to go to Nostradamus, to find out what production is required to defeat the hated Shakespeare. Going to the nephew of the famous soothsayer, Nick found out – it is necessary to make a play in which everyone would sing. The idea seemed to choreographer funny, but he decided to follow the advice of Nostradamus. Faced with Nigel, Bottom made him to turn off the puritan girl, with whom he had flirting.
After Portia left, joyful Nick told a sibling to create a musical, omitting that he was advised to do so by Nostradamus. Argue a bit about what kind of performance they would do, the brothers decided on ‘The Black Death’ play as the best option. Their patron was very unhappy with the behavior of the company and the choice of the title song for the musical. Nigel had decided to write a new play, but was distracted by entered Portia. They together went to a party organized by Shakespeare – the young man received an invitation by sending his poems to The Bard. After a while, there came Nick. He pulled out a sonnet of brother off Shakespeare's hands, accusing the latter in plagiarism.
Soon, Nick went to Nostradamus again. The playwright wanted to find out what new hit will Shakespeare prepare for the show. Misinterpreting the name ‘Hamlet’, the prophet said, that it would be called ‘Omelet’. He also said that the histrionics would tell about the Danish dough. In his dreams, Nick saw himself beating a hated rival. At this time, Shakespeare has learned from a spy that the brothers were hunting after his hit. Trying to find an idea for a new play, playwright disguised himself and implemented in the company of competitors. Naming himself Toby Belch, he learned that the brothers would stage a thing about the eggs. Its production covertly was funded by Shylock the Jew.
Nigel did not like about the idea of the omelet, and he began to write a new play about Hamlet. When the playwright told this brother about it, they had a skirmish that was overheard by Shakespeare. During the premiere, The Bard took off his disguise and accused Nick and Nigel in plagiarism – in their musical were many references to other plays. The court sentenced the brothers, Shylock and Nostradamus to exile in America. Along with them went Bea & Portia. In the New World Nick heard that Shakespeare created the play ‘Hamlet’. Nostradamus was glad that his visions were so close to the truth.

"I'm playing football all the time right now," Proctor said. "I feel I'm really getting better and getting a better feel with the quarterback. Whether it's during the season or out of season I'm playing."
That dedication to improving and his already developed skills have led to colleges noticing Proctor more.
"I just got my first offer from Arizona and I'm really excited about it," Proctor said. "Louisville is also showing me a lot of interest. I'm hopeful that it's a sign that I'm getting more attention."
Proctor has started to develop a strong relationship with the Arizona coaching staff, which feels he would fit in well with the offense.
"Coach Lockwood from Arizona is recruiting me," Proctor said. "He seems like a good guy and is trying to inform me about the school.
"They like my quickness and they feel I would be a good fit in the spread offense they're trying to run. They want me to get down there soon and I certainly want to as well."
Arizona is not the only school that Proctor wants to visit, as he is planning to have a busy summer.
"I'm going to take a lot of visits this summer," Proctor said. "I'm going to visit Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Louisville, Arizona and Texas. This summer is going to be one of the most important of my life.
"I've got a really big decision to make and I want to check out as many places as possible just so I can make a decision that at the end of the day I can live with."

WHEN : 7pm, Sunday, November 13
WHERE : 17–19 Pipe Road, Laverton North (Melways map 40, D10)
Striking workers at Baiada Poultry factory have been standing strong in the face of a brutal police assault on their peaceful picket line on Friday night that saw one worker hospitalised. Now they need your support.
The Supreme Court has banned officials from the NUW, the workers’ union, from supporting or organising a picket so union members and supporters have stepped in to organise a community picket.
Join the rally to stand up for decent wages, decent working conditions, and the right to peaceful protest…
Meanwhile in Sydney, Occupy Sydney briefly occupied a Coles supermarket in solidarity with striking workers. (Baiada supplies chickens to Aldi, Coles, KFC, Nando’s, Red Rooster and Woolworths.) On the other hand, from her vantage point on Sydney’s desperately impoverished North Shore, trollumnist Miranda Devine has written in The Daily Telegraph some blah blah blah on the subject of the EVIL! UGLY! union thugs of the NUW.
Note that, in addition to providing low pay and hazardous working conditions, Baiada is one of several companies the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has instituted proceedings against in the Federal Court, alleging misleading or deceptive conduct in relation to the promotion and supply of chicken products, specifically its claim that free-to-roam means two chickens being allocated a space equivalent to an A3 page.

To quote: It's the second day of the show
and both halls are PACKED with excited gamers dying to get their hands on a ton of fantastic games.
We started the second day at the Ubisoft
booth, where fans were playing incredible titles such as Assassin's Creed III and Far Cry 3 for the first time. The title that's got everyone talking though, is Watch Dogs - check out the announcement trailer below.
Elsewhere, we found an exhibition celebrating video game art, with some amazing concepts from various contributors. Atmospheric imagery from The Last of Us, WipEout 2048 and Journey provided the backdrop in a soothing space away from the manic main halls.
Refreshed, we headed over to Activision's
gigantic booth to sneak a look at the mighty Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. First impressions? It was ear-splitting, as we witnessed drone attacks, a frantic freeway escape...

LEESBURG, Virginia, June 1, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A public school teacher has been placed on administrative leave for daring to inform the county school board at a public meeting that its gender affirmation policies damage children, and constitute child abuse.
At a Loudoun County, Virginia, Public School Board (LCPS) hearing last Tuesday, elementary school teacher Byron “Tanner” Cross explained he shared the board’s concern for students who struggle with gender dysphoria, but strongly disagreed with the policies and methods prescribed by the LCPS.
“I am speaking out of love for those who suffer with gender dysphoria,” said Cross. “‘60 Minutes’ this past Sunday interviewed over thirty young people who transitioned, but they felt led astray because of lack of pushback or how easy it was to make physical changes to their bodies in just three months. They are now detransitioning.”
“I love all of my students, but I will never lie to them regardless of the consequences,” continued Ross. “I’m a teacher, but I serve God first, and I will not affirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa because it’s against my religion. It’s lying to a child, it’s abuse to a child, and it’s sinning against our God.”
Two days after his presentation, the LCPS Board sent Cross a letter saying he was being placed on administrative leave “pending an investigation of allegation that [he] engaged in conduct that had a disruptive impact on the operations of Leesburg Elementary School.”
Cross is now restricted from LCPS buildings and grounds and banned from attending school-sponsored activities and extracurricular activities.
Teachers forced to violate their beliefs
Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) shot off a letter to LCPS on Ross’ behalf, explaining that LCPS’ policies “would force teachers to violate their beliefs by requiring them to address students with their chosen pronouns rather than the ones consistent with their biological sex.”
“Public schools have no business compelling teachers to express ideological beliefs that they don’t hold, but it’s beyond the pale to suspend someone simply for respectfully providing their opinion at a public meeting, which is what such meetings are designed for,” said ADF Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, director of the ADF Center for Academic Freedom. “This isn’t just about a pronoun; this is about endorsing an ideology. The school favors certain beliefs, and it wants to force Tanner to cry uncle and endorse them as well. That’s neither legal nor constitutional, and neither was the school’s move to place Tanner on leave.”
“Immediately suspending an employee and launching an investigation for engaging in First Amendment-protected expression, creates an atmosphere of fear and is intended to send a message to Mr. Cross and other teachers that they must toe the line or face the consequences…,” the ADF letter explains. “The First Amendment does not countenance such retaliation. We demand that you immediately (1) rescind the suspension, (2) reinstate Mr. Cross so that he can return to class on Tuesday, June 1, (3) remove the suspension letter from his file, and (4) refrain from any future retaliation against protected speech.”
Local Democrats target Cross’ supportive pastor
After defending the embattled teacher during a sermon on Sunday, Cross’ pastor was targeted by the Loudoun County Democratic Committee, demanding that he recant his “inflammatory remarks.”
“What are we to do?” asked Cornerstone Chapel Pastor Gary Hamrick during a church service on Sunday. Should we “throw our arms up and surrender and retreat and let our country and our county and our kids be taken over by progressive, liberal, Marxist ideology?”
“We need to be prepared,” continued Hamrick.
“There will be people who will attack us, label us, dismiss us, try to cancel us,” warned the pastor, “but to be passive is to be complicit.”
“The school board, some of them, are not doing their duty to protect, let alone educate, our children,” said Hamrick. “They are subjecting them to sexually explicit materials … and they are already talking about introducing [a] racially divisive curriculum. They are emotionally abusing our children by perpetuating the lie about gender confusion when they affirm pronouns that are contrary to biology, reality, and the beautiful design of God.”
“So, they need to be held accountable and it’s time to step up,” he added.
Later in the day on Sunday, the Loudoun County Democratic Committee (LCDC) issued a searing statement condemning Pastor Hamrick.
“The Loudoun County Democratic Committee was extremely disheartened to hear that one of our community’s religious leaders made inflammatory and insidious remarks about several Loudoun elected officials during a service at Cornerstone Chapel this morning,” began the LCDC statement.
“In his Sunday, May 30th sermon, Pastor Gary Hamrick took to the pulpit to accuse six Loudoun County School Board members of ‘emotional child abuse,’ opening his chapel’s atrium to political campaigning, and invoking the name of God to incite political action,” continued the LCDC.
“We are deeply concerned about the consequences of such rhetoric, having witnessed a recent rise in threats to the safety of the Loudoun School Board members. Furthermore, this irresponsible accusation of child abuse minimizes and tarnishes the people and organizations that seek to protect our children,” claimed the local Democrat organization.
“We call on Pastor Gary Hamrick to recant his allegations due to the libelous and inflammatory nature of the remarks,” demanded the LCDC, suggesting that the pastor’s remarks were “unfounded” and that “statements such as these not only hurt our community that he is meant to serve but have dangerous ramifications for the incitement of violence.”


Transformation of Schaeffler GmbH into Schaeffler AG has been finalized
As well as the entire operational business of the Schaeffler Group, all the operational holdings companies affiliated to the Group and the Group's real estate are bundled in Schaeffler AG.

There are no plans to float Schaeffler AG on the stock market.

Early estimates of health coverage finds that 3.9% of CT residents were uninsured last year, well below the US average of 9%, according to the CDC’s National Health Interview Survey. CT’s uninsured rate fell by 7.2% between 2013 and 2016, very close to the national 8.0% drop. Last year 41.6% of state residents had public coverage and 62.2% had private insurance. As in past years, states like CT that elected to expand Medicaid and/or develop a state-based insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act had lower uninsured rates. The survey also found that high deductible health plans are growing nationally from covering 25.3% of Americans under age 65 in 2010 to 39.4% last year.


The father Fernando Isaiah Calero Rodriguez, pastor of the Nuestra Señor de Fátima church, in Rancho Grande, Matagalpa; He denounced that on the morning of this August 14, the Police at the service of the Nicaraguan regime prevented him from leaving the municipality and took the documents from the vehicle, as well as his driver’s license.
The priest pointed out that the new aggression by the police apparatus occurred when he was going with a group of lay people to meet the pilgrim image of Our Lady of Fatima, an activity that took place in Matagalpa; however, he was “detained by police authorities in the municipality of El Tuma, La Dalia. “We have all been screened incorrectly,” he said.
«They checked us as if we were criminals; They have not allowed us to go to Matagalpa to participate in the Holy Eucharist, which would take place today at 10 in the morning”, he denounced.
In addition to returning him, the dictatorship officials took away his circulation and vehicle insurance, as well as his driver’s license. “We are left without any documentation for the vehicle,” the prelate stressed.
“The aggression is not only against me as a priest, but also against many other brothers who have been besieged by the authorities,” added the religious leader, who stated that they were guarded by three police patrols.
The Ortega authorities also told Calero that if he carried out some religious activities outside of Rancho Grande, “it would be better if we went back,” the priest denounced.
Faced with the hostile situation, the parish priest invited the parishioners to continue praying “strongly because the evil one is attacking the Church. The evil one wants to destroy the power of the gospel, that word that is the truth of Jesus himself, that Jesus who wants to announce the truth of the celestial kingdom».
Citing the biblical story of the prophet Jeremiah who was the object of opprobrium, the prelate said that “today we are also being besieged, however we have the strength and presence of God in each of our hearts.”
Just as Monsignor Rolando Álvarez and other priests who are victims of government repression have called, Father Calero insisted that one must pray frequently “to overcome the snares of the enemy who day by day wants to take away our peace, wants to take away our love and wants to take away our gospel of Christ that is in our hearts.

One of the first uses of a graphical throbber was in NCSA Mosaic. Command line versions did exist, but most were a spinning slash. Nowadays, with Ajax, they have become nothing more than variations of spinning gray wheels to indicate loading or buffering. Gone are the more creative ones like, Netscape, whose throbber is a condensed loop of how the dinosaurs became extinct.
Welcome to Mosaic Communications Corporation! It was 1994, and the World Wide Web as we know it today was about to be born. [more inside]
Through a random series of events, Jamie Zawinski (oooh, I'm such a name dropper :) sent me some very old archives of the Mosaic/Netscape sites and their beta browsers. Chuck Lau, the originator of the Netscape Museum has cleaned up some of them and has just put October 1994's entire mcom.com site online. Chuck's working on getting the others online (there's at least 5 or 6 more archives of the site at different points in 1994 and early 1995), and will also be putting up a page linking to an archive of the very oldest of Netscape/Mosaic's browsers. The browsers are currently sitting in dissarray on my workstation here. I tried out Mosaic 0.4 beta on my windows machine, about the only site that worked in it was Yahoo's.
When I got started on the web in '94-95, most pages were somehow related to Star Trek and recognizing William Shatner as the god that he is. It's funny, but the old stuff like the Mosaic's What's New page, Jerry Yang's homepage, and the machine he used to house his search engine on are all still online. Even good old Mosaic Communications' URL: mcom.com points to Netscape. Who says the web is temporary?

Effect of transnasal insufflation on sleep disordered breathing in acute stroke: a preliminary study
- 323 Downloads
Background and Purpose
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is frequent in acute stroke patients and is associated with early neurologic worsening and poor outcome. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) effectively treats SDB, compliance is low. The objective of the present study was to assess the tolerance and the efficacy of a continuous high-flow-rate air administered through an open nasal cannula (transnasal insufflation, TNI), a less-intrusive method, to treat SDB in acute stroke patients.
Ten patients (age, 56.8 ± 10.7 years), with SDB ranging from moderate to severe (apnea–hypopnea index, AHI, >15/h of sleep) and on a standard sleep study at a mean of 4.8 ± 3.7 days after ischemic stroke (range, 1–15 days), were selected. The night after, they underwent a second sleep study while receiving TNI (18 L/min).
TNI was well tolerated by all patients. For the entire group, TNI decreased the AHI from 40.4 ± 25.7 to 30.8 ± 25.7/h (p = 0.001) and the oxygen desaturation index >3% from 40.7 ± 28.4 to 31 ± 22.5/h (p = 0.02). All participants except one showed a decrease in AHI. The percentage of slow-wave sleep significantly increased with TNI from 16.7 ± 8.2% to 22.3 ± 7.4% (p = 0.01). There was also a trend toward a reduction in markers of sleep disruption (number of awakenings, arousal index).
TNI improves SDB indices, and possibly sleep parameters, in stroke patients. Although these changes are modest, our findings suggest that TNI is a viable treatment alternative to CPAP in patients with SDB in the acute phase of ischemic stroke.

8 ReviewsEndorse Dan Trilk
Dan is the man! Excellent musician, very easy to work with, very helpful on song structure, and great producer. I hope to work with Dan again.
Dan Trilk delivers period! Highly recommend for guitar work. Able to keep deadlines, quick turnaround and his tracks were always matched up perfectly to my DAW timeline. Communication is key for me. Listening to what is being asked for and working through a few descriptions and guidelines, Dan's guitar performances worked perfectly to give my song exactly what it needed. Very pleasurable experience!
Dan is SUCH a fun producer to work with!! He took the vision of a song I had written with my co-writer and blasted it into a new realm! It sounded bigger and better than I had envisioned! He is a great listener and communicator, and really knows how to dial in the right sounds and mix it so that everything is sitting in the right place in the track. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a producer that can make a track big and bold and compete in the modern marketplace today! I am SO thrilled with my song and it's thanks to Dan!! Can't wait to work together many more times!! Thanks Dan!
Dan is the MAN. He took a track I wrote and brought it completely to life with his production. I literally was listening to it on a loop for an hour the other day because it was just so damn FUN to listen to. Dan will make your song better than you thought it could be. Can't wait to work with him again!!
Dan is the real deal.
One of those people that does EVERYTHING well. He has produced tracks for me and played guitar/bass on tracks - turnover time is quick and he is a really lovely guy, too.
Will absolutely be working with him again!
Dan is a good man with great skills.
Dan's musicianship, songwriting and production skills are superb. We have written 4 songs together and he has done all instruments, vocals and productions. The songs have all been accepted into the sync agency world.
Dan does what he says he will do when he says he will do it. He's easy to work with, open to ideas and he gets what you mean.
I enjoy our conversations and collaborations.
Dan is AWESOME! I've worked on two songs (co-wrote and sang) with him and am excited to work on more! He's professional, crazy talented, easy to work with, and fun! He's a top notch guitarist and vocalist. He's got an incredible ear for production and the skills to match! I highly recommend Dan!
Dan recorded and engineered two projects for me, These were very stripped down with just vocals and guitar or piano, but the quality has left some of my professional songwriter friends in awe of his precision and detail. His musical intuition also comes from his great skill as an instrumentalist as well as a songwriter. I would recommend Dan for any project!
Interview with Dan Trilk
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The song "Put Your Money On Me" which I co-wrote, produced, and sang has been used in the Netflix show Ultimatum and a Parkview Medical commercial.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I have a latin pop song that is in the infancy stage. Also starting working on a really cool Americana instrumental album with sparse, soulful vocals. Other than that I am writing and recording for film and television as much as I can.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise to do my best to deliver a track you are 100% happy with and to have a good time doing it!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you're going to send me tracks make sure they are recorded so the highest point is no louder than -10db. And turn the fan, airconditioning off ;-)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I decided to be a musician at age 12 when I was in my first band. I have an associate's degree in music composition. At age 20 I took a Greyhound from Iowa to California where I played in numerous original and cover bands for 14 years. One signed to Sony, one to a small Indy. For the last 14 years I've been making my living teaching private music lessons, playing in a few original bands and playing solo acoustic shows. The last 2 1/2 years I have been immersed in production, mostly for film and TV. I have been producing my own stuff all my life but am just loving doing it for others now too. Enter SoundBetter!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Americana, and Pop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Guitar and bass guitar. I love mellow acoustic guitar and shredding on a rock tune. I also love the funk and coming up with prominent bass lines.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: An organic element and feel mixed with vibes and freshness.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to start with a Zoom meeting and get to know my client and make sure we're on the same page. Then build out a simple version of the song and make sure we are headed in the right direction. From there I'll keep a dialog open regarding progress. I want you to be 100% happy with your track so will work with you to get it there.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I am spending most of my time producing rock and pop, often with the idea of using them in film and television. I usually build the songs from the ground up but sometimes work with tracks my clients provide.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: YES! Otabek Salamov is a WIZARD when it comes to production and songwriting. He produced an EP for my Ol' Big Bear project and it was so great working with him.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I love the sound of analog but the ease of digital is hard to deny. A healthy balance is good.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love that I am surrounded by music and that I am able to help others with their musical goals.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are your references? What is your deadline? Are you open to suggestions?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Hmmmm. Definitely my Martin. Is anyone there to jam with? Haha. My nylon string guitar, djembe, harmonica and didgeridoo.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Raw, real, spontaneous, feels.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Beck. I just love his whole aesthetic and was such a fan in the 90's.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: I'm finding music production to be like any other art. The song is already there, you just need to carve away at it until it presents itself.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I'm in my basement. Lighting is everything. I have some cool lamps. Mac Book Pro, Logic Pro X, Universal Audio 710 Twin Finity mic pre, Avantone Pro CV-12 mic
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I listen to everything and absorb it all in one way or another.

It is a spring flowering bulb and one of the plants I found growing in the garden when I bought the house. My mother didn't like how the leaves sprawled around and looked "untidy" and tried to get rid of the plants! I rescued a few bulbs and planted them in the side yard, where they'd get mowed down, every year, along with the rest of the weeds! This is one bulb that still managed to survive and, this year, I dug it up from the side yard and planted it in a flower bed. I like the pretty little white flowers and the tenacity of the bulb! Hopefully, it will grow and multiply! I need to mark the spot where it is, so it doesn't get dug up by accident, when the leaves die off!
The star jasmine vine is flowering, too:
As is the bottle brush tree:
|Bottle Brush Tree
|Bottle Brush Flowers
|Do you see the bee in the upper left corner?
|Close Up of the Bee
I allowed one of the radishes to bolt; I am hoping to collect the pods and the seeds. Actually, I am hoping it will self-seed and I'll get lots of radish plants. Not that I like to eat radishes all that much, but, because they are easy to grow and will provide some green plants for the garden! There is a beetroot ready to bolt, right behind the radish, just out of the photo - I am waiting until it flowers to take a picture!
Both are growing under the shade of the orange tree, where there are still a few oranges:
|The last of the oranges
|The promise of more to come
A bit further down the garden, the pink Bauhinia is flowering, too. My mother grew it from a seed and it almost didn't survive the drought, but, it is picking up, again:
|I've read that parts of this plant are edible, but I haven't tried eating any of it!
At the end of the garden, along the back wall, the pink oleander trees are flowering, too. At one time, I had a whole row of oleander growing along the back wall and the side wall, as well. Some of them had to be cut down when the sewer pipe was replaced, the rest succumbed to a disease known as the Oleander Leaf Scorch or "fire blight". Only these two pink oleander plants survived:
The few rose bushes are also doing their best to brighten the garden:
|Clusters of Red Roses
|But each one is slightly different in how the colors are distributed
The purple flowered Martha Washington geranium is in full bloom, now:
And the clumps of Gazania are everywhere except where they were originally planted!
|Hidden behind the leaves
Lemons are not the only things hiding in my trees:
|Do you see it? Up in the calamondin tree?
|"Snowball" found herself a perch for an afternoon nap!
And, finally, my first photo for the Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt: Prompt #15: A broken chair/bench/stool:
|My Garden Bench
I am grateful for:
- Plants that persist and survive!
- Flowers that provide color, beauty, and food to sustain others
- Having a garden in which to grow what I can
- The bounty of fruits and vegetables (when I grow them) the garden provides
- Being able to provide a safe place for the garden cats
Hope you enjoyed the tour of the back yard. I'll do a tour of the front garden, soon.

The merger of Islamic banking units in Malaysia is crucial as the market is becoming overcrowded with players hungry for growth, Datuk Seri Zukri Samat outgoing BIMB Holdings Bhd group chief executive officer has said.
According to him, the creation of a couple of mega Islamic banks could rival not only other Islamic banks in the country, but also the ‘big boys’ from the conventional side such as Maybank and CIMB. Mega Islamic banks will have huge potential to spread their wings off the Malaysian shores into Indonesia, Cambodia and Singapore to become a regional champion, he said.
“All together, we have 16 banks offering Islamic financial products. For a small country like Malaysia, it’s a bit overcrowded. So long as we are small and fragmented, it is difficult to grow. Probably there could be some form of merger among Islamic banks, just like the conventional banks did during the 1997 financial crisis. The time is right for a merger,” he told Bernama.
Following 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, Bank Negara Malaysia took tighter measures by calling a massive consolidation of 58 financial institutions, comprising 21 domestic commercial banks, 25 finance companies and 12 merchant banks, into 10 anchor banking groups.
Thereof, the intervention helped improve Malaysia’s banking sector in terms of market position, efficiency and capital.
Similarly, Zukri believes that the consolidation of Islamic banks through a merger exercise could boost industry growth and help achieve the country’s aspiration to become a global hub for Islamic banking.

West Kingston Enquiry: JDF officer says 16 people died in his sector
A senior Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) officer this morning testified that one day into the May 2010 operations in Tivoli Gardens there were 16 deaths in his area of responsibility.
Major Kevron Henry, the commanding officer for the JDF's Bravo Company at the time, was testifying before the West Kingston Commission of Enquiry.
He said he and his men were tasked with creating a buffer around Tivoli Gardens, with specific responsibility for the Denham Town area.
Responding to questions from counsel for the commission Symone Mayhew, Henry said the bodies were reportedly found in areas stretching from the Denham Town High School to the Coronation Market.
Major Henry also testified that when the searches began the number of guns which turned up reminded him of an armoury.
He also said a search of the Foxy’s Plaza, where his team was hunkered down led to the discovery of a trap door leading out of the building.
The commission of enquiry is probing the conduct of the operations that were aimed at capturing drug kingpin Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.

TUZLA, September 28 (FENA) – The season of plum exports from the Tuzla Canton to the European Union is over, and producers are satisfied with the achieved results and the export price.
About eight thousand tons of plums were exported, and part of the stock remained in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
As in previous years, the export season lasted three months.
One of the exporters, Esed Hećimović, says that they started at the beginning of July, and his company managed to export 30 trucks, which is about 600 tons.
He believes that the export period could be extended, but that new varieties should be planted. That is exactly what the trade associations are working on.
The secretary of the Association for Agriculture and Food Industry of the Cantonal Chamber of Commerce in Tuzla, Suad Selimović, says that they are working on creating conditions for planting later-bloom varieties.
He complained about phytosanitary inspection and customs clearances, emphasizing that the procedure should be performed in one place. This would be feasible if the inspectorate moved to the state level.
“At the moment, the companies from the Federation of BiH do their inspectio at the level of FBiH, and customs clearance at the state level. Our trucks go to Orašje, and when they get a phytosanitary certificate, they go to Gradiška to cross the border,” Selimović explained, adding that this should be done in one place, for example in Gradiška or at the new border crossing in Svilaj.
The producers point out that they are proud of the fact that they had no objections to the quality of the product, and that in Germany, the Bosnian plum has became a protected BiH brand with a price almost equal to that of organically grown plums.

The brakes of a vehicle are one of its essential safety features, as it allows a driver to slow down or stop suddenly as changes in traffic flow occur. One of the worst things a driver can do is ignore issues with their brake system, as it can prevent them from being able to adjust their speed as necessary. Here are three warning signs that a vehicle may be in need of Brake Repair in Davenport,IA, and a quick look at the work involved with each one.
Odd Sounds While Braking
Brakes are designed to operate without producing audible sounds, and while some minor sounds are expected after a vehicle has been parked for an extended period, they should resolve as the car is driven. Grinding noises are indicators of issues with the braking system. The most common repair required to remedy the problem is a replacement of the brake pads, but the presence of excessive damage may warrant complete replacement of the rotors as well.
Low Brake Fluid
Vehicles utilize a dash warning system to keep a driver informed of the status of its various systems. If a car’s low brake fluid light illuminates, a driver should stop operating the vehicle immediately. The car should be inspected by a qualified mechanic, as they will be able to determine the cause of the brake fluid leak. Most often it is a worn seal, but it can also occur as a result of failed brake lines.
Minimal Pedal Pressure
When the brake pedal is pressed down, there should be some resistance. If the brake pedal no longer has any push back and can be pushed all the way to the floor with minimal effort, it may require Brake Repair in Davenport,IA. The causes are numerous, but most often results from the presence of air in the brake line, a faulty brake pump, or an issue with the integrity of the brake lines running through the vehicle.

A tight chassis, a turbocharged engine and a slick cockpit have transformed the all-wheel-drive Legacy into a serious driver's car. Whether you're an enthusiast in need of four doors or a safety-conscious parent in need of some fun, this one is worth a try.
by whitehe9 on Jun 28, 2011 Vehicle: 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
This is the most performance for the $ you can possibly have on 4 wheels. Read the reviews - said about that. However, the 05 model and possibly others has a major problem with turbo failure, which is not the fault of the turbo but a design failure by Subaru. This is fact and other buyers and independent mechanics agree - read forums. This a $3000 repair by the dealer but you can usually find used or aftermarket turbos for $500 and have a mechanic install it but it is likely to fail again without modificaitons to the oil tubing. Bottom line is change your oil often <3000mi and buy a spare turbocharger. Out of 115,000miles, this is my only complaint (failure just outside 60k warranty period)
by Idawg on Jul 26, 2007 Vehicle: 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
This is my 3rd Subaru, and is by far the best to date. I had a 96 outback, then a 2004 Outback 2.5 limited, but this car blows them away. The turbo kicks in quickly, and will give you the tell-tale neck jerk! The interior is such a beautiful hole poked tan leather, you want it at home. I was never a fan of blue cars, but the regal blue looks great with the 17" wheels and lo-pro tires. Huge sunroof! Buy one!!
by ultimate driver on Nov 17, 2006 Vehicle: 2005 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited AWD 4dr Wagon (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
After driving BMW's, Corvettes and Audis, I needed something that would drive well in all weather conditions, including snow and ice, and yet give me good performance with superior reliability and that was also fun to drive. The Legacy GT wagon with the turbo and 5 speed short throw stick is all of the above and then some. I highly recommend it, and at the price, there simply isn't anything else that comes even close. GREAT car.
An all-new and vastly improved Legacy is introduced in sedan and wagon body styles. Topping the list of upgrades are a 250-horsepower turbocharged engine, a stylish new interior and a full menu of airbags.
