A novel by Carmen Boullosa, translated by Samantha Schnee
April 14, 2020 • 5.5 x 8.25 • 200 pages • 978-1-56689-577-4
In this continuation of Anna Karenina's legacy, Russia simmers on the brink of change and the stories that have long been kept secret finally come to light.
Saint Petersburg, 1905. Behind the gates of the Karenin Palace, Sergei, son of Anna Karenina, meets Tolstoy in his dreams and finds reminders of his mother everywhere: the vivid portrait that the tsar intends to acquire and the opium-infused manuscripts Anna wrote just before her death, which open a trapdoor to a wild feminist fairy tale. Across the city, Clementine, an anarchist seamstress, and Father Gapon, the charismatic leader of the proletariat, plan protests that embroil the downstairs members of the Karenin household in their plots and tip the country ever closer to revolution. Boullosa tells a polyphonic and subversive tale of the Russian revolution through the lens of Tolstoy's most beloved work.

Praise for The Book of Anna
Words Without Borders, Anticipated 2020 Titles
"The latest novel from one of Mexico's finest experimental writers is a madcap metafictive romp that picks up a few decades after Tolstoy's Anna Karenina leaves off. But it's also an absurdist tour de force account of early revolutionary activity. . . . Reminiscent of Bolaño, Borges, and Pynchon, but Boullosa's utterly original voice is at its best when it's let loose." —Kirkus
"This superb translation from Spanish by Samantha Schnee, founding editor of Words Without Borders, is a book of nimble prose that deftly plays with the boundaries between fiction and history. Drawing together servants, diplomats, anarchists, seamstresses and aristocrats at the eve of the Russian Revolution, Boullosa brings heightened eroticism, feminism, and liberation to Tolstoy's imagined world." —The Observer
"Anna Karenina's children and other fictions of Tolstoy's—who know they aren't exactly human—intertwine with Carmen Boullosa's own fictions, who think they are real, and also with the Russian Revolution. A delightfully original and enjoyable book—Russian literature seen through Latin American eyes, and made into something new." —Salman Rushdie
"What does it mean to say that a fictional character has so infused our collective imagination that she's 'taken on a life of her own'? And what if the very vitality of her fictional portrait is what seems to deny her the possibility of living that life—or telling it as her own story? Carmen Boullosa plants an anarcho-feminist bomb in the afterlife of Tolstoy's novel—and then lovingly collects the scattered pages and bloodied rags that she's let fly, assembling them into a dreamscape where author, character and reader might finally be pressed to recognize one another's autonomous voice, and humanity. Historical and yet uncannily actual, readerly and yet deeply writerly, The Book of Anna is a much-needed reminder of the performative power of fiction in unjust and turbulent times." —Barbara Browning
"A beguiling return to the world created by Tolstoy. This beautiful translation takes Anna Karenina's story a step further, showing how a single tragedy ripples across generations." —Elliot Ackerman, author of Waiting for Eden
"For sheer inventiveness and mischievous brio, few contemporary novelists can match Carmen Boullosa. In this, one of her best novels, a nineteenth-century Russian masterpiece is both updated and turned on its head. Comedy and tragedy, realism and fantasy, are all blended flawlessly. The result is a delicious, spicy literary borscht." —Phillip Lopate
Praise for Carmen Boullosa
"Carmen Boullosa writes with a heart-stopping command of language." —Alma Guillermoprieto
"A cross between Gabriel Garcia Marquez and W. G. Sebald." —El País
"This book occupies a Borgesian tradition in which possible and impossible exist simultaneously in one text." —John Trefry, Full Stop
"[Boullosa] is witty, wacky, iconoclastic, post-modern, and thoroughly original." —The Modern Novel
"Read Boullosa because she is a masterful commander of fantastic language." —Words Without Borders
"Mexico's greatest woman writer." —Roberto Bolaño
"A luminous writer. . . . Boullosa is a masterful spinner of the fantastic." —Miami Herald
"Utterly entertaining—a comic tour de force. I loved the book and think it deserves a very wide readership." —Philip Lopate
"Brutal, poetic, hilarious and humane...a masterly crafted tale." —Sjón
"A lucid translation from the Spanish by Samantha Schnee. . . . [Boullosa's] tale, loosely based on the Mexican invasion of the US known as the 'Cortina troubles', evok[es] a history that couldn't be more relevant to today's immigration battles in the US." —Jane Ciabattari, BBC

Viridor is happy to discuss its proposals for a Resource Recovery centre facility at New England Quarry, Lee Mill and related issues with any interested groups or individuals. We have included some of the most commonly asked questions below.
We've grouped the questions as follows:
- General
- Technology
- Traffic
- Air quality / emissions
- Surface water / ground water
- Visual and noise impact
1. What are the details of the proposed facility?
The proposed New England Resource Recovery Centre facility would include an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility; an on-site bottom ash treatment and recycling facility; a non-hazardous landfill for waste; a visitor and education centre; and a new site access road.
2. Where will the proposed site be developed?
The proposed facility will be constructed on part of the disused New England Quarry, Lee Mill, near Ivybridge.
3. Why was this site chosen?
The site has been subject of mineral extraction development for many years and is allocated for a range of waste management uses in the Devon Waste Local Plan. It is designed to serve business and local authority customers in the South West Devon area. It should be noted that less than half the proposed feedstock arises in Plymouth. Viridor believes that this is the best location taking into account the strategic road network and is central to the source of the projected waste arisings.
4. What happens at an Energy from Waste facility?
Energy from waste is a proven and efficient technology that sees waste burned at high temperature under carefully controlled conditions. This releases energy in the form of heat, which is converted into steam and used to power electricity generators. Following a short start-up procedure, the waste combustion is self-sustaining.
5. What is bottom ash treatment?
Bottom ash is the 'slag' or 'clinker' residue in the bottom of the furnace grate produced from the energy from waste process. This can be recycled and used as an aggregate in the construction industry. The New England facility will produce approximately 62,500 tonnes a year. Bottom ash treatment consists of maturation and cooling, screening and the removal of metals for recycling. The treatment and recycling process takes six to eight weeks.
6. What happens at the non-hazardous landfill?
The landfill will be a fully lined and engineered facility, ensuring safe and controlled disposal and full environmental and amenity protection. The landfill facility will principally be used for the disposal of waste that is unsuitable for recycling or EfW processing, such as bulky or oversize commercial or household waste, road sweepings, etc. The site will also be designed to accommodate unprocessed residual wastes when the EfW facility is undergoing maintenance, although it is not expected that it will accept this material on a regular or frequent basis. In addition, any bottom ash from the EfW facility that cannot be recycled or sold can be disposed at this landfill.
7. What will the visitor and education centre comprise of?
Visitors to the centre will be able to learn about waste prevention, the importance of recycling, best practice and the role and function of EfW and landfill. Interactive and best practice displays and activities will ensure that the education centre will provide teachers and lecturers with high quality environmental education opportunities and a 'close-up' visitor experience. Viridor operates similar facilities at waste and recycling sites across the UK.
8. Where will the new site access road be located?
A new site access road (including improved junction configuration) will be developed leading into the site from the A38, at the Lee Mill junction of the A38.
9. What legislation will Viridor need to comply with on the proposed development?
The development will require planning consent and will need to comply with any planning conditions contained within that consent. It will also require an Environmental Permit issued and regulated by the Environment Agency under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2007. The permit would ensure compliance with stringent EC Waste Incineration Directive standards. (WID) (2007/76/EC). In addition, the permit will ensure that the landfill element of the scheme also complies with the Landfill Directive and the Groundwater Directive.
10. What is the exact tonnage of waste the centre will receive and what this will consist of?
The facility could deal with 300,000 tonnes of residual waste from businesses and households in the South West Devon area, of which about 275,000 tonnes per annum will be processed in the EfW facility. Residual waste is the waste that is left over after all recyclables and reusable materials have been recovered and reused.
11. Will the facility take in hazardous waste or clinical wastes?
No, the facility will not accept any hazardous waste or clinical wastes.
12. What are the minimal levels of waste the facility needs to operate?
The facility is comprised of two identical parallel processing plants, each with an optimum capacity of 137,500 tonnes per annum. Each of these can operate at different throughputs depending upon the nature of the waste. Under normal conditions, if only one of these parallel plants was in use, then the minimum waste required to sustain combustion would be about 70% optimum capacity i.e. around 100,000 tonnes per annum.
13. Will waste from outside South West Devon be treated at the facility?
It is not intended to treat waste from outside the South West Devon Partnership area.
14. How much recycling is likely to be achieved?
The facility is primarily designed for the treatment of residual waste. However, bottom ash will be recycled as secondary aggregate, whilst metals will also be removed for recycling. In addition, some recyclate will be recovered from commercial and industrial waste inputs.
15. How much waste will be sent to the landfill on site?
It is designed to take between 30,000 and 40,000 tonnes per annum.
16. How much 'fly ash' will be produced and how this will be handled/treated?
The facility will produce approximately 10,000 tonnes per annum of Air Pollution Control (APC residues) which includes fly ash. This will be exported from the site in sealed tanker vehicles (approximately two per day). The APC residues will be treated at suitably licensed sites outside Devon.
17. How will the landfill be sealed?
The landfill will be designed to standards imposed by the Environment Agency that will ensure that there are no unacceptable impacts on surrounding groundwater and surface waters and that landfill gases are not allowed to migrate from the site. It is likely that this will involve a lining system composed of an impervious mineral layer as well as an artificial liner.
18.Is the proposal related to the South West Devon Waste Partnership PFI contract? What are the plans for the site if Viridor is not successful in securing the PFI deal? Would waste from outside south west Devon be brought in or would Viridor sell the facility to the successful bidder?
This is a speculative planning application based on Viridor's clear assessment of local market demand. As site owner, Viridor would propose to proceed with its proposals for the development of the site for a range of waste facilities regardless of whether it is successful in the PFI contract procurement. In the circumstances suggested, the exact nature of the development would be determined at a later time taking account of the nature and projected volumes of non-contract waste arising in a similar area as that encompassed by the South West Devon Waste Partnership. If the waste contract is awarded to another company it will have been awarded on the basis of a specific alternative site and so there will be no opportunity to sell the site to another company to service this contract.
19. What are the operating hours of the facility including delivery hours for lorries? How could lorries be prevented from using local roads (especially around Ermington and the lanes to the south of Ivybridge)?
The EfW process will be continuous but waste deliveries and operation of the landfill will be limited to 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, including Bank Holidays, and 8am to 4pm on Sundays. It is probable that deliveries on Saturday afternoons and Sundays will be restricted to those arising from local authorities only. All waste traffic will access the site from the A38 junction as this will be the only entrance to the site.
20. What is the likely impact on property prices?
Experience suggests that potential impacts are small or 'insignificant', and only possibly affect properties immediately local to the site. This is backed up by research undertaken on behalf of the Government. (e.g. DEFRA study to estimate the disamenity costs of landfill in Great Britain, 2003). DEFRA has also published guidance on the quality design of such facilities to further reduce any such impact.
21. How will the local community benefit from the new centre?
The proposal will achieve the cost-effective disposal of residual waste generated by local communities and businesses using a proven and robust technology as an alternative to the present landfill-based disposal. It will achieve local generation of power, a proportion of which is deemed renewable, in a part of the country largely dependent upon electricity imported from elsewhere. The site will provide approximately 40 permanent jobs as well as many temporary jobs during the construction phase. Goods and services during construction and operation will be sourced locally where possible, providing support to local businesses. A dedicated on-site visitor and education facility will provide resource for local schools and residents, supporting on-going waste prevention and environmental education programmes.
22. What kinds of jobs will there be at the site during construction and operation? How can we apply for these positions?
There will be employment for approximately 40 new permanent staff, including skilled process engineers, site supervisors and operatives for all operations, as well as a larger number of temporary jobs during the construction phase. Viridor's human resources department advertises all jobs via the company website.
23. What will be the impact to local wildlife and how will Viridor ensure local species are protected?
Viridor will have to demonstrate that there proposals will have no significant detrimental impact upon local wildlife. This will be assessed as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment submitted with the planning application and if necessary any mitigation of impacts will be included within these submitted proposals. Habitats within the site boundaries will be proactively managed to enhance their biodiversity where appropriate, in partnership with local wildlife and ecology experts.
1. What technology will be used on this facility?
The technology will be the latest 'conventional moving-grate' incineration, with the heat being used to generate steam and produce electricity via steam turbines. This is safe, efficient and proven technology used in Europe and the rest of the world. There are over 20 such facilities operating in the UK and more than 400 across Europe.
2. How safe is the technology and what safeguards will be put in place to ensure the public is protected?
A recently published Health Protection Agency report stated that 'modern, well-managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants' and that any potential health impacts, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable. The facility will require an Environmental Permit in order to operate. This will require compliance with the requirements of all necessary standards protecting health and the environment. Viridor's compliance will be regulated by the Environment Agency on a continual basis.
3. There are alternative technologies that exist, such as gasification, pyrolysis, plasma gasification, etc. Why are these not being considered?
Viridor does not consider that the alternative technologies are either bankable, proven or competitive, for the local market in South West Devon at this time, hence they are not being proposed as part of the development. The company employs a range of treatment and recycling technologies across the UK and assesses the viability of alternative technologies on a regular basis.
4. What about the carbon footprint? Doesn't burning waste produce more carbon dioxide than generating the same power from gas?
Burning waste is a form of re-use and recovery since it consumes previously-used materials as a feedstock and therefore improves resource efficiency. The use of primary fuels does not enable the use of that material more than once and can be seen to be more wasteful.
Compared to conventional landfilling, the EfW plant will result in significantly lower methane emissions. This is important because methane is a greenhouse gas which is 20 times more powerful in its effect than CO2. By using waste as a fuel in a controlled environment under optimum conditions, the amount of greenhouse gas can be dramatically reduced. The generation of electricity also offsets the use of fossil fuel. Utilising additional heat produced could further improve the plants' efficiency.
The carbon footprint is reduced further still by separating out recyclables at source through kerbside collection and similar schemes, as there are clear carbon benefits in recycling many materials such as plastics, metals and glass.
Whether or not we adopt combined heat and power, the fact remains that if every country in Europe could achieve a 60% recycling target and used the remaining 40% residual waste to generate energy, we would prevent 54 million tonnes of CO2 being released to atmosphere by 2020. That's the equivalent of taking 20 million cars of the roads.
This is why energy from waste is acknowledged as a significant means of mitigating climate change by international organisations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
5. How much electricity will be produced?
There will be supply of 20MW electricity to the National Grid. This is enough to power around 34,700 homes.
6. How much heat/steam will be produced?
Large amounts of steam and/or higher temperature hot water (collectively known as high grade heat) can be produced from this facility, but all to the detriment of the electricity production. The viability of this use of energy needs to take account the loss of electricity production.
There will be large amounts of lower-temperature hot water that arise as a by-product of the process. This can be piped to local users with negligible effect on plant electricity output.
Both of these combined heat and power options are being considered by Viridor.
7. Who might purchase/use the heat? Will the developments at/near to Tesco use the heat? Is it viable to provide heat to the proposed development at Sherford?
Viridor is considering a number of potential users, including businesses on Lee Mill Industrial Estate. Discussions are taking place with potential users. Interested business may include those with a cooling use as well as a heating use.
1. What will be the impact on existing highways in Lee Mill from additional traffic?
The projected 'worst-case' traffic figures are around 150 waste collection vehicles per day, of which around 100 would approach from the west. The existing number of vehicle movements through Lee Mill village from the west turning off the A38 is around 7,100 per day.
Viridor has considered a number of highway options and improvements as a result of community consultation. These included options which may remove this traffic from the road through Lee Mill village, along with options to improve the existing routes. These options are still under discussion with land-owners, the Highways Agency and the Highway Authority (Devon CC).
2. Has the Highways Agency been consulted about these plans?
Yes and discussions continue.
3. What route will the lorries take travelling to and from the site?
All access to the site will be from the A38 and there will be none along minor roads previously used to access New England Quarry when it was a working quarry.
We are still working with relevant authorities to review and attempt to alleviate traffic issues.
4. How much of the ancient woodland will be affected by the proposed access road?
We are working up the design to minimise the impact upon the ancient woodland.
5. Will the bus service that passes the Westward Inn be maintained?
We are in discussion with First Bus over this issue and everything will be done to prevent any negative impact on a continued convenient bus service for the village.
6. What will be the impact on traffic levels during the construction phase?
It is anticipated that the new access, including junction improvements, will be constructed at the earliest opportunity during the entire construction programme and it is also anticipated that the vast majority of construction related traffic will come from destinations to the east of the development (i.e. not through the village).
All of these matters will be considered in the traffic impact assessment that forms part of the application
7. What types of lorry/vehicle will be accessing the site?
Waste is likely to be delivered mainly in refuse collection vehicles (dustcarts). A smaller number of bulk waste carrying vehicles (articulated lorries) are also likely to use the site. There will also be a small number of tanker vehicles. Secondary aggregates derived from bottom ash will be removed by tipper style lorries.
8. What will be the impact on local businesses if the existing slip road is closed or access is restricted?
This matter is being assessed and will be discussed directly with the businesses involved.
Air quality/emissions
1. What emissions will be released from the chimneys?
Much of what comes out of the chimney (or stack) is not smoke at all, it's condensed water and it is not really visible except on cold days. Everything that is discharged through the chimney has already been treated to remove potentially harmful substances and all emissions are monitored continuously to make sure the site is operating safely.
The energy from waste process is subject to extremely stringent air quality standards, which are higher than those for 'conventional' power stations or other industrial processes. In the UK, all EfW facilities treating waste must comply with the Waste Incineration Directive (WID). WID's objectives are to minimise the impact from emissions to air, soil, surface and ground water on the environment and human health.
The key requirements in the WID for the operation of a facility are:
- A minimum combustion temperature and residence time of the resulting combustion products. For municipal waste this is a minimum requirement of 850°C for 2 seconds
- WID also sets specific emission limits for the release to atmosphere of other potential pollutants, namely: Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Hydrogen Chloride (HCl), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Particulate (fly ash), Heavy Metals and Dioxins.
In order to meet the stringent emission limits, EfW facilities must therefore consistently burn waste at very high temperatures and be equipped with a sophisticated system for cleaning the flue gases and removing ash particles prior to discharge. Around two thirds of any modern EfW facility is dedicated to emissions control.
The hot gases produced from the boiler, which raises steam for energy generation, contain fine particles of ash. The gases are cleaned by adding an alkaline powder to neutralise any excess acid. Carbon is then added to remove dioxins and heavy metals. Fine particles, together with the spent carbon and powder from the treatment process, are collected by high efficiency filters. This material, known as Air Pollution Control (APC) residue or fly ash, is collected and stored in a sealed container for transportation to a special landfill site for disposal, or to another facility for further treatment.
The chimney is equipped with continuous monitoring equipment (CEMS), which must be in full working order at all times. If any part of the monitoring equipment fails, the EfW facility is not allowed to operate and must shut down immediately.
2. How will emissions be monitored and who by?
All waste facilities, including energy from waste plants, are regulated to prevent or minimise any risks to the environment or health. The Environment Agency regulates all EfW plants burning municipal waste. These plants are subject to the EU Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) regime (as well as WID - see above), which aims to prevent, reduce or eliminate pollution at source. The Environment Agency closely regulates these EfW plants to make sure that the emissions are as low as they can be to protect the environment and human health. The actual sampling will be undertaken by an accredited testing house.
3. Isn't there evidence that incinerators cause health problems?
The Health Protection Agency issued a statement in September 2009 that was based on a review of the available scientific evidence with regard to the safety of EfW facilities. It concluded that modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.
Combusting waste to mandatory EU Waste Incineration Directive standards is therefore an extremely low-risk, environmentally-benign method of post recycling/composting residual waste disposal.
A 2004 UK Government report which considered 23 reputable studies and four review papers into the patterns of disease around EfW facilities concluded that the risk of cancer caused by living near an EfW facility is so remote that it is too low to measure. The Committee on Carcinogenicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment has reviewed recent data and has concluded that there is no need to change its previous advice, namely that any potential risk of cancer due to residency near to municipal waste incinerators is exceedingly low and probably not measurable by the most modern techniques.
To illustrate the comparative safety of the EfW process when compared to many every day activities, an independent report for the Department of the Enivronment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) observed that the Surrey stretch of the M25 produces more than 95 times the amount of carbon monoxide and five times the amount of carbon dioxide than a single EfW facility would produce over the same period of time. It also points out that the amount of sulphur dioxide emitted from an EfW facility is no more than that produced by 100 people using coal fires. (Source: Defra Review of Environmental & Health Effects of Waste Management: MSW and Similar Wastes)
Further information on the Health Protection Agency's Report (published September 2009) can be found at http://www.hpa.org.uk
4. What will happen when the wind is low - how will any emissions disperse? When there are off-shore low winds, how much of any emissions will drift back to Yealmpton down the valley?
The facility will not compromise local air quality standards. The dispersion and dilution of any released pollutants will be complex and is governed not only by the wind speed and direction, but also factors such as building influence, topography and the height of the atmospheric 'mixing layer'. The detailed dispersion modelling undertaken in support of the planning and permitting applications includes incorporation of meteorological and topographical data to most accurately simulate dispersion.
5. There is already poor air quality in Ivybridge how will the emissions affect this?
The pollution associated with traffic which is of concern in the UK is nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. The EfW will not significantly increase levels of these pollutants in Ivybridge.
6. How will the emissions impact on Langage Farm and the Dartmoor National Park?
The detailed dispersion modelling exercise has considered ecological receptors as well as human. All predicted impacts are within acceptable levels and will not have significant adverse affects on the local environment.
7. Where will engineers be conducting surveys / setting up measurement instruments? Don't the engineers need to get the landowner's permission to conduct this work?
Air monitoring has been undertaken over a six month period at 14 locations in the vicinity of the site and further afield (at the Dartmoor SAC, for example). The majority of locations are public access, such as on the highways network or on Dartmoor. In the locations which are privately owned, such as the Totnes real-time air quality monitor, permission was obtained before emplacement. There was only one location where monitoring was undertaken on land owned by individuals and in this case, the consultant approached the landowner and obtained permission.
8. What will be the combined effects of the Langage Power Station?
The EIA scoping process responses included a request to investigate the combined effects on air quality of the EfW and the power station. On this basis, such investigation was competed as an aspect of the detailed dispersion modelling for the site. There are no combined effects which lead to any unacceptable impacts.
Surface water/ground water
1. What is the nature of the water in the quarry and how it will be discharged to the Yealm? What will be the effects on the Yealm and what will be the impact with temperature changes?
This is a matter that will be dealt with fully in the Environmental Impact Assessment. However, in short the surface water within the quarry void is of high-quality and will be discharged in an appropriate manner so as not to discernibly impact upon the River Yealm. Temperature will not be affected.
2. What safeguards would be put in place to prevent spillages/water seeping into the water course? How will surface water runoff on the site be dealt with?
There are various pollution control techniques that will be employed to prevent negative impacts on groundwater and surface waters. These will be described in the Environmental Impact Assessment and the Environmental Permit application. In brief these will consist of:
- A fully lined and engineered landfill site with leachate removal and off-site disposal equipment;
- Active minimisation of leachate generation in the operation of the landfill;
- Surface water run-off control systems for all hardstandings and roads;
- Sustainable drainage systems incorporating living media to minimise runoff.
Any discharges to surface water will be strictly controlled and regulated by the Environment Agency
3. What is the depth of the quarry?
The depth of water in the quarry is approximately 25 metres.
4. Where will Viridor draw its water from for the generating process?
Water usage is minimal as the process incorporates condensing equipment. If export of steam and/or hot water is installed then mains water sources would be utilised.
Visual and noise impact
1. Will there be any smells coming from the facility? What about the smells when deliveries are made or from the chimney stack?
Waste deliveries will be made inside a sealed building operating under negative pressure with fast-operating doors. This will minimise the opportunity for odours to emanate from waste deliveries.
The stack emissions are odourless and comprise mostly steam and carbon dioxide.
Odours from the landfill will be minimised as a consequence of the nature of the waste being accepted. Waste will be covered with inert materials following tipping. Gas extraction equipment will be installed as the waste volume increases and this will further reduce any risk of odour.
2. How high will the stack be and what will it look like? Why does it need to be so high?
The stack will be 90 metres in height, giving a level of 150m above sea level (AOD) at the top of the stack. It will comprise two narrow (c. 1m diameter) smooth grey pipes. This design has been selected to minimise the visual impact. The height has been determined as a result of an extensive air quality and dispersion modelling assessment and is set to ensure that any impacts upon human health and ecological interests (including Dartmoor) are minimised.
The electricity pylons in the vicinity of the site are approximately 45 metres high - the EfW building will be 40m high.
3. Will residents be able to hear the facility operating? Will we hear vehicle reversing bleepers?
Noise emissions from the facility have been assessed as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment. Viridor will have to show that there is no significant increase in noise at residential properties. Lower frequency vehicle reversing 'squawkers' are employed at many Viridor sites as this noise does not travel and is less intrusive than 'bleepers'.
4. Why have background noise levels not been measured at all local properties?
A representative selection of noise-sensitive locations was chosen by Viridor's appointed independent experts in order to collect sufficient data to enable a noise assessment to be undertaken.
5. What noise would quarry operations make if they were re-opened?
Quarry operations would involve blasting, crushing, screening as well as significant open-air plant operations. This would be significantly noisier than the waste activities proposed.
It should be noted that it is not presently intended to re-open the quarry and the current valid planning consent that would enable this will be surrendered as part of this application.
6. Will there be light pollution coming from the facility?
Waste will only be delivered during limited working hours and it will not be necessary to provide external lighting outside these hours. Lighting inside the building will be designed to minimise light emissions in accordance with current standards.
It is likely that it will be necessary to install navigational red lights on the stack owing to the proximity of Plymouth Airport.
7. Can we see visuals of the site development?
Design images have been made available throughout the community consultation. These, along with all of the photomontages submitted with the application will be available on the application web-site once the application is submitted.
8. How will the development impact on views from local residential properties?
A full Landscape and Visual Impact assessment has been prepared to consider the effect of the development on the local landscape. The assessment has considered the views from over 15 locations in the area. The conclusion has been reached that the facility will be visible either wholly or partly from some of these locations, although the landscape, vegetation cover and buildings all play a part towards screening the scheme. The architectural design has also carefully considered this.
9. Will there be the opportunity for the roof to have "living grass", turf or plants to blend with the surrounding countryside?
Yes, the flatter part of the domed roof is designed to have a sedum roof. Sedum is a succulent plant which stores water.

St. Augustine Refused to Surrender
From the Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish Gov. Manuel de Montiano totally rejected James Oglethorpe's ultimatum of the previous day demanding the surrender of St. Augustine and the fortress. Montiano promised to fight to the end if necessary. Upon receipt of Montiano's reply, Oglethorpe directed his artillery on Anastasia Island in the harbor to resume firing at the town and fort. The siege of Florida's capital continued.

My apologies for the break in blog posts. Here's an overview of my summer research. And from here on out, I'll be posting similarly formatted updates quite regularly.
I. Correspondence
From a defense of Shelley's "Defense" to a list of unknown poets for Harriet Monroe to contact, the scattered correspondence of Alfred Kreymborg demonstrates the tension between his position as a radical and a conservative within the Modernist movement. By looking at correspondence from the Special Collections at the University of Virginia, University of Chicago, Newberry Public Library, University of Buffalo, Beinecke Library, and Rosenbach Library, I was able to construct a biographical picture that extends beyond that which Troubadour provides. From the avant-garde to the establishment, Kreymborg was constantly concerned with promoting emerging art, and occupied a number of positions aside from his acknowledged roles as an editor and anthologist. Under the New Deal, he ran the Manhattan and Bronx companies of the Federal Theater Project; he helped to start an artists' colony for experimental theater in Asheville, North Carolina called the Chronicle House; he served on the Executive Committee of the leftist American Writers' Congress; he served as President of the Poetry Society of America; he was a judge for the Pulitzer Prize Jury for multiple years; he wrote reviews for the New York Times and Saturday Review of Literature; and he wrote recommendations for young artists for grants and positions at artist colonies. Fittingly summarizing Kreymborg's extensive activity within the artistic community, Wallace Stevens called him a "long lost explorer," and wrote to Harriet Monroe that he is the "greatest concocter outside of politics. I have never heard so many schemes spoken of in so short a time" (Stevens 215, 232).
Along with a more complete idea of the various positions that he held, the scattered correspondence provided Kreymborg's opinions on his contemporaries' work, reflections on his own work, support and admiration from other literary figures, and the occasional writer's quarrel. One of the more interesting, recurring subjects throughout his correspondence—often in the form of a defense—is his shift toward writing in conventional forms. In describing his shift toward a more conservative poetics, Kreymborg's tone greatly varies depending on the person to whom he is writing, indicating that he recognized the contradiction of being a radical writer composing sonnets. To Williams, he avoids a serious discussion by trying to be comic: "I've been writing sonnets mostly. What-eh-who-why-which? Yes, sonnets." Whereas to Scofield Thayer of The Dial, he writes, "Much of the work I am engaged in at present is determined to express itself in the sonnet form—decidedly a novel experience in my innocent life." From Harriet Monroe to Emmanuel Carnevali, he explained his poetics with a variety of correspondents, and he consistently argued that there is a revolutionary spirit to his work despite its form, writing to Langston Hughes, for example, that No More War "will give Tories a pain in the neck and set their hounds on my trail. But I'm used to such unAmerican [sic] action."
Along with his shift in poetics, Kreymborg began appreciating writers that seem to be at odds with his earlier career. In an undated letter sent to William Carlos Williams sometime after the Others venture, Kreymborg cites Swinburne and Sidney as models for Modernist poets to look toward for values within literary criticism. And later in his life, Kreymborg revealed financial motives for his increasingly conservative position.
Although he had constantly been in difficult economic situations—asking figures like Alfred Stieglitz and William Rose Benet for financial assistance—Kreymborg was able to obtain grants, fellowships at artist colonies, and part-time lecturing positions. Writing to Benet in 1948, Kreymborg revealed that his wife had been carrying the majority of the financial burden for the past five or six years, and he was actively attempting to relieve her of the stress. So, when Jerome Moross to Kreymborg about an idea to "jazz up" Volpone, Kreymborg could only reply, "As to your plan, it is excellent and interests me decidedly…[but] I simply cannot afford, at my age (60), to gamble on experimental stages." Like many other artists of the period, Kreymborg's financial situation probably had a great deal to do with his adopted Marxist ideology—but unlike other Marxists, Kreymborg maintained his support for avant-garde art, and applied his ideology to works that appear at odds with groups like The New Masses (in which he was published).
[For an example, see his introduction to Poetic Drama: An Anthology of Plays in Verse. Marxist ideology applied to Greek drama, etc.]
II. Critical Work
The amount written on Kreymborg is underwhelming; aside from his role with little magazines, he is hardly mentioned in the biographies and critical studies of his contemporaries. Mentions of Kreymborg that I could find provided varying portraits, from Raymond Nelson's assessment that Kreymborg was "widely regarded as the most demanding experimentalist of the new generation" to Conrad Aiken's view that Kreymborg's early poetry is the "poetic paraphrase of the lisp and coo" (Nelson 115,
Lorenz 9). In Gorham Munson's The Awakening Twenties, he challenges Kreymborg's roles as editor an anthologist, claiming, "[Kreymborg] never acquired any skill in literary criticism; in fact, throughout his career he eschewed criticism, being more promoter than editor in the various publishing ventures he planned and sometimes executed" (Munson 34). Yet Conrad Aiken notes the importance of Kreymborg's venturesome editorial decisions, stating that between Kreymborg and Williams' role in Others, he learned "flexibility, new colors and tones, and a new recklessness with form" (145). Critics have noted that in his early experimentalism, Kreymborg was a precursor to more radical writers (Symons), and that in his shift toward more conventional forms, he was more successful than other Modernist poets (Filreis). I have just started reading Craig Monk's Writing the Lost Generation, in which he dedicates a chapter to Kreymborg's Troubadour, calling it one of the "first, tentative steps toward defining modernism as a movement" (21).
III. Kreymborg's Work
Due to the extensive amount of poetry that Kreymborg wrote, I have had trouble narrowing down which poems to focus on, and am unsure how I should approach writing on the various texts—for each book, I have taken notes on what appear to me to be the most representative or the most skillful of the poems. In Mushrooms, Kreymborg's experimentation is largely reliant on the sounds of his poetry, to the extent that in some poems, the sound provides the foundation of the meaning. Like the expressive, flowing rhythm of a Chopin nocturne (a composer that Kreymborg admired), Kreymborg's
"Nocturne" sets the playful image of dancing pantaloons to verse that seems to expressively 'dance' along as well, propelled by the off rhymes and quick alternation between stressed and unstressed syllables. In "Vista," Kreymborg imitates the visual and aural experiences of the snow and the sea with lulling, repetitive phrases and pauses both within and between the lines.
In Blood of Things (in my opinion, the best of Kreymborg's poetry) he extends his attention to sound to longer poems, and he deals with his themes more imaginatively. In "Endings," for example, Kreymborg plays with alliteration and assonance, beginning the poem, "Life, loving to listen/to old folk/arguing the comparative/claims upon glory/of the diseases they've had." The trudging lines somewhat undermine the seriousness of the claims of the 'old folk,' and the speaker ends the poem with an unconventional view of life and death, saying, "Life/likes his to end in adventure,/while Death/likes hers to end at home" (60). There are also Imagistic tendencies within many of the poems, such as "Her Body," in which Kreymborg writes, "Her body gleams/like an altar candle—/white in the dark—/and modulates…" (72).
In the poetry published during and after his sojourn in Europe—beginning with Less Lonely—Kreymborg wrote almost entirely in conventional verse forms. Yet despite the restrictiveness of the form, musical principles were still central to his poetry. In The Lost Sail: A Cape Cod Diary, Kreymborg models his poems after Sonatas, Suites, and Sonatinas—yet the intention and the execution seem at odds in some of the poems. In "Sonata in Blue," the first movement begins with conventional images of nature that culminate in the speaker's recognition that "Just to be able to touch the things I
see/Brings me one step closer to poetry" (37). As the 'Sonata' progresses, its 'exposition' focuses on simple memories with Conrad Aiken on Cape Cod, establishing the theme as composition through common experience. Yet the piece ironically ends with slaves rowing Cleopatra down the Nile—undermining both the theme and musical form (the final movement should be a recapitulation or coda, but instead introduces a new theme). With The Lost Sail, Kreymborg also began writing poems with overt political messages—in "White Blood," he writes, "In Seventy-Six, we broke our chains in two/And clamped them on the black humanity" (59). In the poetry following The Lost Sail—such as Manhattan Men, The Little World, Ten American Ballads, and No More War—politics became a central theme to Kreymborg's work.
In "Edna: Girl of the Streets" and Erna Vitek, Kreymborg's prose is very simplistic, and in terms of both style and narrative, it is fairly conventional. "Edna" was seized by customs and resulted in Bruno being sent to court—which greatly helped with its popularity—but the theme seems to have been misinterpreted, as it is hardly licentious. Like the American realist prose writers before him, Kreymborg was not so much experimenting as merely attempting to write about 'common life.' The plays that Kreymborg wrote (especially the one acts) show far more innovation than his prose. In Plays for Merry Andrews and Plays for Poem Mimes, there is experimentation in both the dramatic form and the poetic dialogue.

An accountant's job entails working to ensure that business firms and individuals are preserving good data and paying taxes correctly and on time. Because of the emergence of accounting software program applications small businesses ought to positively consider buying some accounting software program to finish their basic accounts and yr end experiences. There is a set way that money is recognized within the accounting world of high financed companies, and the ideas of income recognition are followed to verify the popularity is interpreted right. There are many causes for doing this but the principle advantages are that it's a lot cheaper to purchase a software program package than hire an accountant and the completing your individual accounts keeps you near the enterprise. Management accounting helps in making business choices about internal direction and wishes of the business or company.
The software program has considerably reduced the time it takes to finish a professional set of accounts and the method of maintaining accounts is now simple sufficient for anybody to finish. Accounting information methods have diminished the price of accumulating, storing, and reporting managerial accounting information and have made it doable to produce a extra detailed account of all data that is entered into any given system. Our program database, each online and on-campus, overlaying associate degrees, doctorates and all applications in between, gives you a robust sense of how programs, school and prices evaluate at the world's premier schools for accounting. We'll take the time—face-to-face time—to teach you up. Resume help, interview advice , no matter you want.
No longer does an owner of a small enterprise need a PHD in accounting to maintain a well structured set of accounts that could possibly be submitted at 12 months finish. They are certain by the rules and rules that they offer as different international locations even have comparable boards that require a high degree of accounting conduct. With Accounting Principals I have a team devoted to finding my perfect job match. The technology of computer systems and software has modified the way in which during which accounts are stored and maintained considerably.
However, it is much less frequent for administration accountants or internal auditors to move into public accounting. Develop, implement, modify, and document recordkeeping and accounting systems, making use of present computer expertise. Car payments, private budgeting, earnings taxes are all based mostly on data techniques developed from accounting studies and principles. The introduction of accounting software program packages has been liable for a much more radical change within the industry. Finance and business jobs are projected to increase by 9 percent in that timeframe.
The apprehension comes from the truth that most adults, though very fascinated about furthering their profession, merely can not afford the time for a conventional faculty diploma. Many folks discover they're concerned with accounting but become apprehensive when they discover that a college degree is required. Today, much of the bookkeeping processes are being finished by computer software applications. On the other hand, somebody simply wanting to keep observe of the funds of his or her half-time business could handle the accounting with a basic information of accounting ideas and formulation. Another idea that's essential to grasp when understanding debits and credit is the accounting equation. A few universities and faculties provide specialised packages, comparable to a bachelor's diploma in inner auditing. The FASB created the essential accounting ideas code referred to as General Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP).accounting

Past the age of 30, we men start to see a drastic change in our life with respect to our body. Tiredness, sluggish feeling, losing muscles mass, feeling disinterested in sex and not able to feel active and energetic like we used to feel are some of the feelings which all men can relate to once they cross this age bar.
Don't you get jealous of those men who even after crossing the age of 30 do a number of sets and pushups in the gym without any problem? Their sculpted muscles and toned body is enough to make us wonder how they do it. I can't say about others but, ever since I have crossed the age of 30, I try to hit the gym once a week but still I couldn't see any noticeable results on my body. Lately, all I want to do is sleep and just sit for hours.
"I know I am not the only who is going through all that but I want to know what can I do to get my virility and vitality back that will make me look macho once again? I asked my friend who told me that due to the lack of nutrients in my body or in my muscles tissue I am not able to build muscle mass. To make up for it, he suggested me to consume the Testomenix And Nitromenix and I have been doing that ever since. I have to say, only because of these two supplements that I have been able to feel energetic again.
There is more to know about these two supplements that will surely make your skinny self to look muscular one. So let's get down to it and explore my unbiased review on the same.
First, Let Me Know What Testomenix Is All About?
After we cross the age of 30, our body isn't able to perform like it used to do when we were in our 20s. It could be a set of reasons behind that but most probably the key hormone in your body have started to go down. If you are feeling sluggish and tired lately then chances are very high that you might be suffering from the low testosterone. It is the reason why you are able to see noticeable results in the gym even after putting so much efforts. Fret not, with the advancement in science, one doesn't have to go for the testosterone replacement therapy to increase the level of testosterone in the body as Testomenix can do that easily. It is a dietary supplement created to support the low testosterone in the body.
By in taking this supplement, you can expect your performance level in the gym to get increase as this supplement helps to maintain the hormonal balance in the body. This would increase your energy level in the body that helps you to get increased muscle mass.
Make Me Understand The Science Behind This Supplement
Before making a purchase of any supplement, it is important to know how this supplements works. See you should know that the Testosterone is produced in the testicles of a man but after a while, it stops getting stimulated. This is where Testomenix steps in to help us by increasing the production of Leydig cells in our testis that further stimulates the testicles to produce testosterone in the body. Its formulation will spread through your body that will increase your virility and vitality and due to this, your muscle growth will also get stimulated to get increase.
Well, that was about the Testomenix which helps you to give the muscular body with the help of increased testosterone but sometimes, the poor blood circulation doesn't allow the improved testosterone to reach to our muscle tissue. This is why I am going to suggest you the next supplement which is Nitromenix which will work in conjunction of the first supplement. Let's get down to explain you about this supplement
STEP 2:- Nitromenix
In A Nutshell Tell Me What Nitromenix Is All About?
There was a time when gulping down protein shake was enough to let us sustain through our workouts but since our schedule is hectic, some or the other nutrients gets easily skipped from our diet. However, you should know that the body of a regular gym goer needs the extra dosage of vitamins and minerals to get the pumped up muscle mass. This is where Nitromenix steps in to increase the vascularity in our body to let the minerals and vitamins to get circulate in the whole body.
Let's Get Down To Telling You How Nitromenix Works
The low level of energy can kill stamina. This is why the makers of Nitromenix have added ingredients in its composition which when goes into your blood stream helps to trigger nitric oxide. Our body starts to breakdown when the muscle tissue doesn't have oxygen and nutrients in it. The increase in the nitric oxide helps to widen the blood vessels that allows the blood to pass through and reach to the muscle tissue.
This causes the blood circulation level in our body to get improved that affects your endurance, stamina and strength power to get improved. Along with that, it also delays the onset of fatigue from our body that helps us to prolong our workout routine for the longer period of time.
Now, Tell Me How Should I Consume Testomenix And Nitromenix?
Like every other supplement, these two pills too come with the suggested dosage that one has to follow. Take one pill of Testomenix And Nitromenix in the morning and another in the evening. Consume both of them with the lukewarm water.
I Want To Give This Combo A Try, Tell Me From Where Can I Get It?
For our convenience, this combo is exclusively available from the online mode. All you need to do to place your order of Testomenix And Nitromenix is just click the link below.
I haven't been satisfied in terms of result even after trying out so many supplements for building muscle mass in the past. How is this combo different from others?
Well, their formulation is what makes both of them different from others. Since we are working round the clock, it becomes tough to get all the basic nutrients our body needs and if you are into building muscle mass then you need an extra dosage of vitamins and nutrients and this combo will provide you that, that will further help you to take your average performance in the gym to the next level.
Point Out The Benefits That I Can Expect To See Through In Taking This Combo?
Our muscle tissue will continuously start to get the nutrients from the food that will support our muscles to do the lifting without any problem like muscle cramps.
Through this, your endurance and sustaining power will get improved to help you long last your workouts.
Not just that, your stamina and strength to do the heavy intense training will increase
Your body fat will get down which helps you to get the sculpted abdomen.
With the help of above-said benefits, not just your body will get transformed but also your bedroom life too will get improved as both of the supplements are capable of improving your libido and sex drive
For How Much Time Period Do I Need To Take This Combo For To See The Above Said Benefits?
Every individual takes its own time to absorb the formulation and get adjusted to it. To let the composition of Testomenix And Nitromenix to work with your body, I would advise you to consume this combo for minimum 90 days.

This car originally started out as a simple daily driver, and has evolved into my ultimate project car. I didn't want to take anything too far, just subtle touches here and there to compliment the existing look and performance of the car. It is by no means a race car and I won't pretend that it is, but it is definitely not slow and can be hella fun to drive.
Most people know the car for it's unique customized headlights and sequential tail lights that I researched and built on my own, both the first of their kind ever seen on a 7th gen Maxima. The car recently had some finishing touches added in the form of STILLEN's bodykit and a custom fiberglass rear 4 fin diffuser, which I feel like really add to it's aggressive overall look. All that's really in the plans for it now is a quality BBK, coilovers, and looking at new rims next year to change things up.
Overall I love my 7th gen, it is the perfect daily driver that has become the ultimate project car for me.

This Maxima has made significant progress over the course of the past few years. Initially working on a college student budget, the car began life with its current owner as a completely factory spec Anniversary Edition Maxima. Completely stock, with the 3.0L VQ30 engine. Initially, this car was intended to be an everyday car, but soon turned into a performance experiment. Modifications began with an Exedy OEM clutch & Fidanza lightweight flywheel, and a JWT intake.
Afterwards came the v2OBX headers and Cattman exhaust. This was during the time that tuning the ECUs on these cars was a difficult task due to the lack of support. A GReddy e-Manage Ultimate was installed and has been the primary tuning tool for this Maxima. After the basic bolt ons were done, modding got very serious. Coilovers and G35 wheels followed, along with other small touches such as varying stereo equipment and HID setups, and finally the JWT S1 cams. The owner wanted to get the absolute most he could out of the 3.0L platform without swapping to a VQ35, and it was done using the S1 cams, VQ35HR valvetrain and ported heads, along with an 82mm MAF and larger 3″ Cattman exhaust, allowing this engine to make 250whp @ 7500 RPM on a Dyno Dynamics dyno.
The Exedy clutch started to slip, and at that point it was decided to swap to a VQ35. The VQ35 would use the existing 3.0L heads to bump the compression to ~11.8:1, and the bottom end was bored out to 3.6L. It was also beefed up with ARP main & head studs, rod bolts and ACL Race main/rod bearings for sustained high RPM activity. A gutted VQ35 intake plenum and Pathfinder throttle body sit on top of the engine, connected to the same 82mm MAF used previously. On the cosmetics side, the wheels have been changed to a set of XXR 009s, and the factory headlight housings have been switched to retrofitted projectors. A Pioneer touchscreen head unit and Vip'dOut VIP tray resides in the dash (James Church @ vipdout.com was a huge help with this). The car is awaiting a proper dyno tune and some smaller pieces to finish it off. This was an ultimate R&D project and far from an off the shelf setup in its current and previous forms.

You may consider it your enemy, it has definitely been responsible for more than a few oddly shaped pistons and blown head gaskets. The fact of the matter is that heat is simply energy, it works both for us and against us. A tremendous amount of heat is generated from the combustion process and put to work, the more we can harness the more efficient our engine becomes.
Approximately 1/3 of that heat is wasted through exhaust gas ( which can be utilized by turbochargers, but that is another story ) approximately another 1/3 is actually used to drive the piston downward and get the job done. The remainder of this heat energy is radiated outward from the cylinder and your cooling system is designed to transfer that heat to your coolant and pass it through a heat exchanger to keep engine temperatures in check.
This is the cooling circuit diagram for the VQ35 straight from the 03 350Z factory service manual. One look at this diagram will tell you that this aint your granpappy's ol' small block. Shortly after the 350z was released, aftermarket performance parts came pouring out of the woodwork to support enthusiasts.
Before you knew it there were big time turbo kits and high powered engine builds to the tune of 600whp. It was then that these tuners began to see the apparent downfall of the cooling system for the VQ35 used in the Z33. In this diagram you will see the rear cylinders ( #5 and #6 ) circled in red. If you follow the flow chart from the water pump you will see that coolant flows into the engine from that point, up through the heads and into the engine block. Coolant flows from the front of the head to the rear and exits through the water pipe connected to both sides.
The block on the other hand is another story, the coolant flows from the front of the engine to the rear cylinders and has nowhere else to go. I'm not about to call out Nissan engineers (although I've had cause to curse them in the past) because under normal and even spirited driving conditions the factory cooling system will keep engine temps manageable. However, under heavy load conditions such as a long highway pull on a high powered engine or pulling lots of weight uphill, coolant flow to the rear cylinders is insufficient and can lead to troublesome or even catastrophic engine failure in the form of blown head gaskets or over expanded pistons that will have a once smooth cylinder looking more like a funnel.
Enter the Pathfinder. The VQ35 found in the Pathfinder is only slightly different than the Z33 VQ35, but the one major difference worthy of discussion in this particular post is pointed out in red on this cooling circuit diagram.
If you follow the same flow, from the water pump and into the engine block, you'll find that the coolant now has a "back door" out of the block where it will meet the other superheated coolant from the heads and return to the radiator. A thermostat is in place between the block and water pipe (shown on the diagram as an X) simply to let the engine reach operating temperature more quickly and reduce emissions.
Nissan engineers saw this one coming during their road tests for the Pathfinder, though they didn't tune those VQ35′s to unscrupulous amounts of power, they more likely just ran them really hard off road and hauled lots of weight uphill. There's no telling how many engines they scrapped before they decided on this system, but their loss is our gain.
Many fine retailers have put together "Pathfinder cooling mod" kits that will supply you with the rear coolant pipe, thermostat, hose and plate that you can swap right into your Z33 to greatly improve your coolant flow and safeguard your rear cylinders.
Is it something that your momma needs on her sedan to run to the grocery store? No, but you should give the Pathfinder system as well as other "reliability mods" some consideration if you plan to really put your VQ35 through a beating with lots of boost or serious track time.
This is my Porsche powered by a VQ35 engine…Oh wait back to reality, my G35 just got a fresh Porsche 911 GT3 paint job called Atlas Grey Metallic that is. Anyways My G is my daily driver so I tried to keep the look as OEM as possible. So I put a Full Nismo body kit because this kit just looks like it came out of the factory, don't you agree?
To think a couple months ago my G35 was pretty much stock. 2010 was the year for my G35′s transformation and i went all out as you can see but i still have much more to do.
Your probably wondering what's with the Blue wheels? Those aren't just any ordinary blue wheels. The color is called Fzero Blue from Volk Racing and I believe there's only 2 sets in 19″ with +12 offsets ever made. So trust me when I say that you probably wont see any G or Z with these set of wheels at a car shows you attend to. That may sound a bit cocky but take it how you want it. HA!
I think the G35 has one of the most sexiest stock rear ends period!. Everything about a G35 is just perfect in my eyes. Any angle , every corner you look at the G35 lines wont disappoint.
When I first saw this car I was browsing the forums over @ G35NYC.com and I was flat out amazed that someone took the time to be creative and put some ill graphics on their show G. Little did I know then, that it was a DAILY DRIVEN G. Now this VQ35 powered turbo G, has got all the trimmings, including a built engine courtesy of VinnyTenRacing.com. I believe it pushes over 500whp, and I forgot what he ran at the track, but I know it was some impressive numbers, with full interior, system and all. I'm sure a lot of you enthusiasts have seen this vehicle already, but we here @ VQ35.com wanted to make sure it got a spot on our featured cars line up. Alright, enough of the small talk, on with the goods!

The Illinois Attorney General's office filed lawsuits Tuesday against three firms alleging that they committed mortgage rescue or debt settlement fraud.
In one suit, the state charged that Debt Care Financial Group Inc., of Chicago, and its president Malgorzata Baran, charged consumers at least $66,000 for debt settlement and loan modification services in the Polish community that she never performed.
Another suit, filed against Flagship Mortgage Corp. in Deerfield, Starlex Financial Consulting LLC and employees Jeffrey Entratter and Neil Borland, alleges that consumers lost more than $4,800 in upfront fees for loan modification services that were never performed.
The state also filed a suit against E.A.C. Financial LLC, of Chicago, and owners Everett Pope and Colbi Andry, for mortgage rescue fraud.
All of the suits, which were filed in Cook County Circuit Court, seek to have the businesses shut down and restitution paid to consumers, penalties paid to the state and that the parties be prevented from providing mortgage rescue and debt settlement services in Illinois.
Jeffrey Flees, president of Worthington, Ohio-based Flagship said he had no knowledge of the suit but that the company's Deerfield office had been closed and Entratter no longer was employed by the company. The company maintains a local office in Elmhurst.
Entrettar said he was unaware any lawsuits. "We stopped doing any modifications years ago and any clients that I'm aware of that did not get modifications were refunded," he said. "Anyone who is owed money will be compensated."
Borland, reached for comment, said, "I have no comment on it because I don't know anything about it."
Efforts to reach the other companies and individuals named in the suits were unsuccessful.
