NASA OKs East Coast rocket test launch this week
Tuesday - 4/16/2013, 10:19pm EDT
Associated Press
ATLANTIC, Va. (AP) -- A private company is planning a test launch Wednesday of a rocket intended to help eventual supply runs to the International Space Station, but officials warn weather could delay the effort.
Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles is set to launch its unmanned Antares rocket Wednesday from Wallops Island, Va., and it could be visible in cities from Washington to New York.
But NASA said Tuesday there's only a 45 percent chance weather conditions would allow a launch Wednesday. Orbital would try again Thursday if need be.
If successful in sending a practice payload into orbit, Orbital aims to send its cargo ship to dock with the International Space Station this summer on a test run.
Orbital and California-based SpaceX have contracted to make space station supply runs with NASA, which ended its shuttle program in 2011.

Viva Panama! Read The Love & Hip Hop Cast's Tweets Of The Night
There was a lot of love on Twitter tonight among the cast of Love & Hip Hop — at least among those who chose to tweet, like Yandy, Rich, and Erica Mena. (No action online from Peter Gunz, who always remains suspiciously silent on social media while the show is on.)
Check out the best tweets from the cast as they spread the love, quoted one another, and had each others' backs during the episode.

Erica Mena And Cyn Santana Hit Panama For Erica's Calendar Shoot
Given her various fights on Love & Hip Hop, it's no secret that Erica Mena's personality is an acquired taste. However, a slick mouth can't get in the way of obvious sex appeal. That's why Erica was right when she tells her detractors on the show that no matter what they may think of her singing, she's getting to the money all the same.
Enter her recent trip to Panama to shoot a 2014 calendar.
Based on the many, many pictures Erica snapped during her trip for the shoot, Ms. Mena had quite the time. She scored local press, saw the sights, met members of the area — all while looking so pretty! Please read "so pretty" in Kimbella's voice. Please.
And naturally, Erica brought her boo, Cyn Santana, along for the shoot. Enjoy the pictures, especially those that offer you a preview of Erica's hot new calendar.

Mob Wives: New Blood Episode 2 Sneak Peek: I Might F—ing Break Your Face
On the season premiere of Mob Wives: New Blood, we met Natalie Guercio, who proved that she is one to watch this season for many reasons. (The first being that she's gorgeous and we can't take our eyes off of her, but also, she's feisty and not afraid of ANYone.) Drita thought something was a little off about Natalie after meeting her at a boozy lunch, and now Natalie wants her to answer for her comments. In this sneak peek, Renee's orchestrated a lunch between the two, but before Drita shows up, Natalie starts mouthing off about her. "Natalie needs to calm the f— down and change her tone because Drita's not the chick that she wants to go there with," Renee comments. Read more…

In case you couldn't have guessed it from the place settings they hurled at one another's head last week, Peter Gunz and Erica Mena don't like each other. The two Love & Hip Hop stars share a deep dislike for one another despite their common bond with Rich Dollaz. We asked Peter recently what three words he'd use to describe Erica and his choices were not very kind. Later, he told us that he never wanted anything to do with her, and she's just using him to get screen time on "The Peter Gunz Show." Read more about Peter's thoughts on Erica below!

While discussing a few of his over throws in last week's overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Brandon Weeden frustratingly explained that a few of the routes run in the game hadn't been undertaken by the team during practices.
"There's a couple of routes we ran on Sunday for the first time all week and that's not fair to me," alleged Brandon Weeden, adding that in the later stage of the game the Cleveland Browns offense unexpectedly improvised on a few routes that hurt their odds of winning. "It's not fair to the receivers, it's not fair to any of us, because when you're getting thrown in the fire and the bullets are flying . . ."
Then perhaps realizing that the statement wasn't helping his future chances with the Cleveland Browns (even after the ownership and coaches projected him as the franchise quarterback at the end of training camp), Brandon Weeden changed course and took some self-criticism. The rookie quarterback discussed issues with his elbows that resulted in a few botched throws.
However, Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur had already caught whiff of brewing locker room criticism and reeled-in to set the record straight with his job on the line after the new management took over.
"I disagree with some of that because I do think that we make an effort of the ones we're going to call we practice," expressed Pat Shurmur. "A lot of the plays that we practice, we've been running all year and you run them in training camp."
"It's nearly impossible with the amount of time and then the length of the season to practice every single thing multiple times. You see it going on behind me (after practice) right now," continued Pat Shurmur. "They spend extra time working on the individual routes. That's what you've got to do."
Besides, it's not like Brandon Weeden is in a position to make those assertions given his overall performance this season. Brandon Weeden ranks No.32 among starting quarterbacks in the league with a 55.3 pass completion rate.
Cleveland Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi also found it hard to buy Brandon Weeden's explanation for lack of preparation of the select routes during practices.
"Sometimes you may not be sure if you're going to run a play in a game and then you see a look presents itself," said Mohamed Massaquoi, "and you didn't really put emphasis on it in practice but it's available for the game, so you run it."
Brandon Weeden later reeled-back from his previous statement and acknowledged that the Cleveland Bowns need to improvise on the routes being run according to the situation and keep the freshnes of the offense alive.
"These guys can't run forever. You want to make sure they're fresh throughout the week," said Brandon Weeden before adding that he'd prefer to throw to more than just one target in the end zone. "You try to spread them out and you know what you're throwing… (Otherwise) that's tough on them (with) just limited amount of reps (for the left out receivers)."
While Brandon Weeden's second set of comments were less critiquing of the Cleveland Browns' practice routine, the 28-year-old's statement cloaked the opinion that he still thinks he's right.

Sixties pre-teen Lily (a maturing Dakota Fanning) accidentally shoots her Ma as a child, leaving her with a cruel Southern Pa (a not-that-menacing Paul Bettany) and an aw-shucks voiceover.

Food processor dilemma: Cuisinart vs. KitchenAid
- c
- Carb Lover Jan 24, 2005 08:16 PM
I know this topic has come up before, but am needing some personal feedback at this time. Want to buy a good-sized (11 or 12 cup) food processor for my mom. I envision her using it to make pie dough, grind meat, make desserts (she doesn't have a stand mixer).
After reading positive reports on this board as well as Amazon for the KA over the Cuisinart, I was fairly set on going w/ the KA...until I went to Macy's. They have both models and after poking and prodding at each, I was more impressed w/ the 11-cup Cuisinart's larger blade, more durable work bowl, relative compactness, and overall look than the 12-cup KA model. Looks aren't usually a big factor for me, but the KA top-flared model was an eyesore--downright ugly and cheap-looking.
Re: the Cuisinart--they have the older-style blockish version w/ the two levers as well as the more modern, rounded one w/ buttons. Opinions on differences and which one is better??
Would also be great if you can steer me to the best deals at stores or online. Best prices that I have found: Cuisinart at Costco (per my FIL's report) is $170, while the KA at Macy's is around $200 on sale. Thanks!
Not to be discouraging in any way, but before you spend the money (like I did) make sure it's something she really wants (like I didn't). I got a great Cuisinart for my mom because she is getting elderly (sorry mom) and thought it would make life better for her. I am sorry to say it sits in the cupboard unless she needs to grate a lot of something at once. As she said, I've been making things with my hands for 78 years, and why should I haul that big thing out of the cupboard and get it dirty to do something that takes less time and only one bowl to make with my hands? And that thing makes tough pastry that your father can't chew...and so on and so on.
If she really wants one, I would get the Cuisinart over the KA any day of the week if for no other reason than I currently find KA to be unreliable and have experienced disappointing service from that company.
re: Cyndy
Yes, my mother can be rigid and hard to please/change when it comes to her cooking practices. She's been the one dropping hints here and there about a food processor, so my sibs and I just asked her outright if she wanted one and what features. So she knows it's coming...
Your comment about KA's customer service is interesting--I actually had heard more horror stories about Cuisinart's CS in my search. Well, if they have equally bad service, then I'll go w/ the Cuisinart.
re: Carb Lover
It's sad when we have to pick the lesser of two evils. As a tech support person, I was appalled by my experience with KA and my $550 mixer breaking after 20 uses. They refused to fix it...said it was an 'old model' and wasn't covered any more. Argh. Only cost $40 to fix it, but I had to drive it to another city. I would buy the Cuisinart at Costco if you can...they will take anything back, even after being used for years...I work for HP and we routinely use this as an out for out of warranty customers who bought them there. Gosh that sounds bad...tech support is like that.
Oh Boy -
I would DEFINITELY go with a Cuisinart. They are truly the top-of-the-line when it comes to food processors. Their new food processors are so good (including a "dough" feature) that I have not missed having a stand-mixer AT ALL. Currently in my miniscule (Boston-sized) kitchen, I can only afford one counter-top appliance and it's been the food processor. My hand mixer picks up where that leaves off. If that's not good enough, my mom has had a Cuisinart for YEARS and she's the one who bought me mine. It's been fantastic - I use it as often as possible (which is quite often!!!)
Good luck!
I can't speak from experience as I haven't used it yet, but I went through this same situation recently when I was registering for my wedding. I talked to tons of people and got feedback from this website and other sites and the majority said they preferred Kitchen Aid over Cuisinart, and so that's what I went with. People said it worked better and was more reliable. (Though I see that both people who've written back so far have said the opposite, so who knows!) Like I said, I haven't tried them both yet, but I spent two weeks researching it, and that was the conclusion I came to. Good luck!
The January issue of Cook's Illustrated had a section on food processors- they tested major brands and did a run down of which brand did which task better. You might find the article on the America's Test Kitchen website. If not, and you have specific tasks in mind, I can look up the article and tell you what the recommendations are but I believe that KA came out on top overall but just slightly. I have a KA that I got new on eBay for $90. That's where I would check for the best deals. The only criticism I have for the KA is that I wish the feed tube was wider all around. I got the KA b/c I read that the Cuisinart blades weren't what they used to be, and that KA blades are better. If this is still the case, but you want a Cuisinart, you might be able to find a factory refurbished (like new) older model on eBay. Good luck!
My local Costco has the 11 cup Cuisinart with an extra bowl, extra blades, plus a blade-storage container. $169 if I remember correctly. Worth checking out.
I researched this same question 3 or 4 years ago and bought the KA (in part based on the recommendation of Consumer Reports). i think it's the 12c model, but I'm not sure. I've been quite happy with it, though there are some quirks I'm not thrilled with.
For example, you need to be sure to undo the bowl before the lid (or vice versa--can't remember). It took me a while to realize this was a 'feature' of the KA, not some screw up on my part. Plus, although it doesn't have an unusually large foot print, the 'attachments' take up a lot of space. Now, bear in mind, my guess is that if I had gotten the cuisinart I would have a similar list of small complaints--probably just different ones. I didn't test them side by side or anything.
Bottom line, I would recommend the KA.
I have a newer model Cuisinart with the rounded buttons and dough blade. The motor powers through bread dough and normal tasks just fine, and I didn't have any customer service problems getting a new lid when I cracked the original one during a move. (This was within the one year warranty on accessories. The motor has a longer warranty.)
However, if I were to do it again I would buy an old-style blockish Cuisinart. The new Cuisinart has the annoying safety feature where you have to remove the pusher before you can unlock the lid. Also, the pusher has to be engaged before the motor will turn on. I suppose they do it so people won't shred their fingers, but I find the extra step annoying. I seem to recall the older model doesn't have that extra safety feature. It's been a while since I've used one though, so you should double check in the store.
I've heard good things about the KitchenAid, though I have no idea if it has annoying safety features of its own. Since the older style Cuisinart is much less expensive for the same size workbowl, I probably wouldn't go for the additional cost of the KitchenAid.
I can report one particular problem I had with the KA. I have a hard time removing the lid. It seemed to be suctioned onto the bowl, worse with a liquid. I would twist & twist and I felt like I was going to either crack the bowl or have food AND sharp blade flying through the air.
Now mind you, this was on a friends KA. I don't know if it had been previously damaged or dinged somewhere.
I'm sorry I'm not sure what model it was, I just remember it happened on the several occasions I've used her machine for cooking.

I purchased an original cuisinart (france made) machine in 1978. I use it at least 3 times per week for 25 years . Still works fine It also outlasted 2 wives. I would never buy anything but a cuisinart food processor. Can't say the same for the coffee pots.....
re: Larry
I like the KA better because it is easier to clean (two part feed tube); the two part feed tube gives me a little more size leeway with what fits in it; it came with its own storage box for the blades; and, it has a small work bowl (2 cups or so) with its own mini-blade that's perfect for small jobs. My KA has held up to the jobs I've put it through (mostly slicing); I use the stand mixer for doughs and baking. We bought a Cuisinart about 23 years ago - it did not last, surprisingly. The blades warped out of shape after a while, and the switches eventually became non-operative. I've had good luck with my vintage 1975 KA stand mixer, so I have a lot of faith in KA's products, even though it's no longer owned by Hobart.
I have had the "blockish" Cuisinart for probably near to 20 years - it has been a wonderful workhorse, and when it dies, I'll certainly buy another Cuisinart.
Thanks everyone for your input. Interestingly, seems like the crowd was equally divided on this issue. Seems like both brands have their pros and cons and that quality even varies w/in brand.
Just to let you know, I've decided to go w/ a Cuisinart. I liked the look of that one better, and the parts actually looked sturdier compared to the KA. Leaning towards getting the more modern one at Costco as opposed to the blockish, classic model.
What sealed the deal is that KA only has a one year warranty while Cuisinart offers a 3-year limited warranty and a 10-year full motor warranty. If I'm wrong on this, then please let me know. Significant dif. IMO, and well, if it acts up, then at least mom won't have to pay to fix it. Thanks again.

The Reserve Bank of Australia said the country's currency is held by as many as 23 national central banks from Brasilia to Moscow whose purchases have helped sustain the Aussie dollar's gains, internal documents showed.
The central banks of Brazil, Russia, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland are among 15 that hold the Australian currency, according to a spreadsheet created in July and other papers released today under a Freedom of Information Act request by Bloomberg News. Among eight possible holders are Iceland, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia and Singapore, they showed.
The Aussie is up 3.2 percent this year against the U.S. dollar even as the nation's No. 1 export customer, China, sees a deepening slowdown and as falling prices for iron ore and coking coal erode the nation's terms of trade -- a measure of windfall gains from exports that reached a 140-year high last year. RBA Governor Glenn Stevens last month called the currency's level "a bit on the high side."
"The apparent preference shift and resulting portfolio shift of foreign investors towards Australian dollar government securities has increased Australian dollar demand," Chris Potter of the RBA's international department wrote in an April 5 document that was among those released today. "The increase in demand associated with this shift appears large by historical standards."
Record Lows
Demand from abroad for Australian government bonds helped drive yields on all the securities to record lows in June. Benchmark 10-year rates touched 2.698 percent June 1 after foreign holdings of federal securities reached a record 76.5 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
"There is reason to believe, and theory that agrees, that non-resident purchases of Commonwealth Government Securities have supported the Australian dollar," Potter wrote. "This increased demand for Australian dollar assets has been associated with a shift in investor preference to increasing exposures to Australian dollar assets, probably associated with a reappraisal of the relative risks of such investments."
The central bank included notes that referred to Potter as a junior officer and said his paper was a draft that shouldn't be seen as representing the RBA's views. Even so, in parliamentary testimony Aug. 24, Stevens echoed Potter's assessment.
'High Quality'
"There is more tendency now for some official flows seeking the high quality assets," he said. "I'd have to say that it's most likely that the official investors, they're not usually the most adventurous, they're usually the ones that come along after others have been coming for a while, so I think all those things are at work."
The European Central Bank and Bank of England don't have the currency in their reserves and the U.S. Federal Reserve recorded an "apparently not" under the column on whether it keeps the Australian dollar, the RBA spreadsheet showed. As to the central bank of China the document recorded "???" on whether it held the Aussie.
The net inflow of capital to Australia increased to 4.5 percent of gross domestic product in the first quarter, which "in net terms was directed entirely to the public sector," the documents showed.
Dollar's Strength
The local dollar's strength has propelled it to the widest divergence in more than a decade from Australia's terms of trade, and also left it out of step with a drop in government bond yields.
"The RBA's repeated reference to the disparity between the fall in the terms of trade in the first half and the elevated level of the Australian dollar does suggest some concern," said Callum Henderson, Singapore-based global head of currency research at Standard Chartered Plc. "The fact that so many central banks have added the Aussie to their FX reserves may go a long way to explaining this disparity from a flow perspective."
Among the documents was a May 21 private parliamentary briefing titled "Recent Developments in the Australian Dollar" that was almost entirely redacted. The one paragraph remaining said: "The high level of the Australian dollar continues to be supported by the still high level of the terms of trade. Strong foreign demand for CGS has also been a supporting factor for some time."
AAA Rating
Overseas investors seeking a haven for their funds have directed them at the highest rating countries. Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland are the only nations with stable AAA scores from all three main ratings companies.
The increased demand for Australian government debt may have helped drive down the perceived risk of holding the currency because investors such as central banks are less likely to suddenly sell their assets, Potter wrote. Such buyers also wouldn't be seeking to hedge their investments, increasing the impact of their purchases on demand for Australian dollars, he wrote.
Even after the RBA reduced its key interest-rate by 1.25 percentage points since November to 3.5 percent, it retains the highest benchmark borrowing cost among major developed nations. Policy rates are near zero in the U.S. and Japan, 1 percent in the euro area and Canada, and a record- low 2.5 percent in neighboring New Zealand.
Traders are pricing in a 51 percent chance that the central bank will cut borrowing costs by another 50 basis points by year end to 3 percent, matching the 50-year low the benchmark reached at the height of the global financial crisis.

There is obviously a lot the Detroit Lions like about Chris Greenwood – they wouldn't have drafted him in the fifth round of the 2012 NFL Draft if they didn't. He brings a rare combination of size and speed but the jump from the Division III level to the NFL will be a hurdle for him to overcome.
I can't claim to have seen Greenwood play personally (thanks, Calvin), but those that have and have followed his story seem bullish about his prospects. With over 2,000 votes from Division III football fans in a poll at d3football.com, 45% believe Chris Greenwood will make the Detroit Lions roster with another 32% of the opinion that he'll stick with the team as a member of the practice squad.
Cornerback figures to be one of the most hotly contested position groups in Detroit Lions camp this summer. With a large mix of veterans and young players, no one should feel comfortable of a roster spot. The vets will need to prove their experience is a difference maker over the rookies while the rookies will need to prove that they can step in and perform at a high level.

And she is a pretty decent kid who did a pretty cool thing: last week, when she saw a classmate cutting himself with a snap-off blade segment from a utility knife, she took the blade away from the boy, threw it away, and reported the incident to school administrators the next day. And then she got a gift certificate for a pizza party and a commendation for excellent citizenship, right? Precisely, just as long as you replace "gift certificate for a pizza party" with "10-day suspension" and "commendation for excellent citizenship" with "recommendation for expulsion for violating the school's zero-tolerance of weapons policy." We would make a joke about how you can totally tell that she's a blade-wielding thug just by looking at that rebellious dyed hair, but no, she is obviously a sweetheart who was raised right, with just the small oversight on her parents' part that they didn't get around to explaining just how idiotic institutions can be.

I have a question for you guys. I have some blogs with original content. 3 articles but they are original. An example would be http://mobiledentalhygienists.com/
They are relatively new.
Question: How long would it take for a similar blog with three articles and no links to pick up and get to pr 2?
It's true we need good SEO , but with the current Google changes which keep on attacking even good sites . The best choice is creating a branded, personalized and targeted web presence, mixed with an aggressive internet marketing campaign is the key to success on the Internet today. It is good to build a rich content brand so that search traffic is just an option.

The Dallas, "December curse" has been broken. Thanks of course to the Washington Redskins. Funny, how this one game turns the Cowboy fans almost rabid with playoff hopes. But, that's not what I am here to write about. I am here to give my perspective of the Skins. Did I think they would win?. Of course not. I am no rose colored glasses wearing fan. It doesn't even matter they lost, really. It wasn't for a wild card spot, it wasn't for pride, (they have none apparently), London Fletcher's announcement, couldn't even get these arses to play a good game. No, the Skins have to play because they want to play and play to win because they want to win. I see none of that. This whole year has been one controversary after another. Frankly, I am sick of it. What the team did right or wrong, really I don't care. Stats mean nothing. All that matters is this season will be over in just one more week. I will say Kirk Cousins deserves better. The show and sell is just awful. I am hoping a team will pick him up. I really do think he is a decent QB.
In the final week of the 2013 season, the Skins travel to NY, to take on the other flailing team in the NFC East, the Giants.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Tila Tequila Converts to Judaism; Judaism RUNS AWAY SCREAMING
By Jspace Staff on 1/13/2012 at 5:04 PM
Categories: Religion, Entertainment, Gossip
We guess after you try Myspace, porn, and drugs, only logical step is to become a member of the Tribe.
Yes, Tila Tequila, who made being famous for no reason A VERY HORRIBLE THING before Kim Kardashian had ever seen a video camera, is converting. She told TMZ.com:
"As time passed, I started to become more and more fascinated with Kabbalah, the culture, and the way of life. I just feel like the Jewish people have such a beautiful way about them, and I can't wait to officially be Jewish! Shabbat Shalom."
This raises two questions. First, do you think we can trick Tila Tequila into believing that being Jewish involves flying over the Amazon rainforest, parachuting to the ground, and being eaten alive by various jungle beasts?
Second, why are we writing about this has-been-wanna-be-never-was-worn-out-fool?
In order: Yes, and WE DON'T KNOW. We have issues. Like, Tila Tequila-style issues.
Pray for our souls.
J-Connection: Tila Tequila is converting to Judaism. In other connected events, the end of the world is scheduled for December of this year.

UPDATE: Video of the live reveal added after the jump!
click above image to view 90 high-res shots of the 2008 Subaru Impreza
After running a few executives across the podium at its press intro, Subaru finally got down to business and pulled the sheet from its refreshed Impreza 2.5i.
The four-door sedan version is exclusive to the US, and is about a half-foot longer than the five-door hatch shown here. Both models are 4.5" wider than the outgoing version, and carry the widened grille and new logo that are supposed to pay homage to Subaru's aircraft heritage. It looks better in person than in photos, but we're not yet ready to commit to, you know, actually liking it. Inside, the Impreza has a roomy feel, but the overall quality left us feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Don't look for significant increases in power under the hood; in fact, the naturally-aspirated 2.5L flat-four is actually down a few ponies at the peak, with a bit more torque and improvements in emissions and fuel economy as a consolation prize. It's still backed by a five-speed manual or four-speed auto. Those in the snow belt, take note - Subaru's commitment to safety is followed-through via the inclusion of the new stability control system, and of course Symmetrical All Wheel Drive is standard.
Keep an eye out for our post on the WRX version coming shortly.
Check out the 2008 Impreza in our photo gallery, the official press release after the jump, and of course there's a detailed list of our other coverage available in our New York Auto Show megapost.

SUBARU DEBUTS ALL-NEW 2008 IMPREZA 2.5i AND IMPREZA WRX
2008 Imprezas Boast All-New Styling and Two New Body Styles
New and More Refined Interior Delivers Improved Comfort, Space and Utility
Available Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
New York, NY April 5, 2007 -- Subaru today unveiled the all-new Subaru Impreza 2.5i and its performance icon cousin, the Impreza WRX at the New York International Auto Show. With new, more sophisticated styling and two new body styles, a 4-door sedan and a 5-door model, the Impreza 2.5i and Impreza WRX breathe new life into the compact performance market. The new Impreza models take a giant leap forward in terms of comfort and utility, while delivering the handling, performance and Subaru Symmetrical AWD that made the original Impreza such a success. Also new for 2008, is the availability of Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) on both the Impreza 2.5i and Impreza WRX.
In 2002, Subaru changed the face of the performance market with the introduction of the original WRX, a car that could deliver turbocharged, rally-bred performance in any driving condition. The all-new 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX follows that lead with an all-new breed of AWD performance car. The 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX now rides on a 3.7 inch longer wheelbase (103.1 inches) that improves ride, interior space and utility.
The new WRX is powered by a 2.5-liter flat-four Boxer engine delivering 224 horsepower and 226 Lb.-ft. of torque and is 50 lbs. lighter than its predecessor. The engine has been modified to produce more torque at lower rpm. With its broader and richer torque curve, the 2008 WRX delivers a smooth stream of power, improving drivability and fuel efficiency.
The new Impreza chassis has improved rigidity and ride comfort with the addition of high tension steel at key structural points. The new design results in a lower overall weight for the body while the longer wheelbase allows for improved ride dynamics as well as increasing interior room and lowering levels of Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH).
To further improve handling, the engine is now placed slightly lower in the chassis, lowering the Impreza's center of gravity. In addition, the new chassis improves crash worthiness and provides crisper handling and a stiffer platform. While the new Impreza WRX remains a driver's car, the new WRX represents a better combination of capabilities, maximizing performance, comfort and delivering an advantage over the competition.
In conjunction with the new chassis, the Subaru Impreza and WRX feature an all-new double-wishbone rear suspension. The suspension allows for less intrusion into the cargo area, providing a wider and deeper luggage compartment. The new suspension also delivers improved ride refinement, decreased road noise, and a quieter cabin.
The all-new 2008 Impreza and Impreza WRX are now available in two new body styles, a 4-door and a 5-door. The new 5-door design is clean and elegant, with a sweeping single curve roofline that flows into an aerodynamic rear spoiler. An all-new frontal design features the new spread wing logo design at the top of the widened grille. The new grille creates a connection to the Subaru aircraft heritage and places a focus on the Subaru star cluster logo.
Both exterior designs focus on detail touches such as the new clear rear lenses on the 5-door, distinctive curved fog lamps and an inward sweeping chrome embellishment that flows the grille design into the bumper. An aggressive lower spoiler adds to the sporting character of the design.
The 5-door features a distinctive character line that sweeps upward at the rear, giving the car an agile look. The short rear overhang, new clear rear taillamp lenses and a vertical chrome bar combine to integrate the side character line into tail.
The 4-door Impreza and Impreza WRX are unique to the North American market. The new 4-door is 4.5-inches longer than the previous sedan and 6.5-inches longer than the new 5-door models. The extra space provides for a much larger trunk that can accommodate three Tour-size golf bags. The rear seats feature a 60/40 rear split folding mechanism that further enhances cargo capacity. On new 5-door Impreza models, the wide and flat load floor can accommodate two Tour golf bags with the rear seats in the upright position
The design of the 4-door models creates an improved road presence, with a wider and sharper front design giving way to a crisp side body crease. The rear of the 4-door Impreza is set apart by red lamp lenses and a chrome strip below the trunk line that visually widens the tail.
On WRX models, a new available aero kit denotes the WRX rally car heritage. The 5-door WRX features a rear under body diffuser and single chrome exhaust pipe. The 4-door WRX features dual chrome exhaust tips and a rear trunk spoiler.
The interior design of the 2008 Impreza places a new emphasis on comfort and space. The new sweeping twin cockpit embraces occupants and brushed aluminum look insets flow into the center stack. The center console shape adds to the airiness of the cockpit design, aided by the sculpted door panels and improved headroom. The door panels house molded recesses that can accommodate 24-oz. soft drink bottles, as well as loose items.
Despite retaining the same exterior width as the previous generation Impreza, the new 2008 Impreza features an interior with two inches more front shoulder room than before.
An available navigation and information center is the focal point of the center console. In addition to an input for MP3 players, the center console also includes video jacks that can accommodate portable gaming devices that can be displayed on the navigation screen when the vehicle is parked. The navigation screen is placed at the top of the dashboard for improved visibility and functionality. The interior of the new Impreza was designed to provide a feeling of quality with special emphasis placed on double-stitched fabrics and high-grade interior plastics.
New for 2008 are framed windows that allow for improved body rigidity and provide for a quieter interior with better sealing for the windows. Larger door openings provide improved ingress and egress and the rear doors open 75 degrees to allow for better rear seat access. The rear seatback angles have been reclined for improved rear comfort. Rear seat legroom is also significantly increased.
The 2.5-liter and 2.5-liter turbocharged flat fours have been modified to improve both emissions and fuel efficiency while maintaining the same high performance standards delivered by the current Impreza and Impreza WRX. Modified torque curves on the both engines are tuned for improved low-rpm acceleration and improved drivability.
The new 2.5-liter normally aspirated engine delivers 170 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 170 lb-ft. of torque @ 4,400 rpm. Low end torque and fuel efficiency for the 2.5-liter normally aspirated engine were improved by the addition of a new intake port. Improved emissions were realized by a new catalyst system that optimizes catalyst efficiency.
The 2.5-liter turbocharged flat-four Boxer engine in the WRX delivers its maximum torque and horsepower earlier than the previous model, with 224 horsepower @ 5,200 rpm and 226 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2,800 rpm, a full 800 rpm earlier than the previous generation WRX. Low end torque and fuel efficiency was improved through the addition of a new intake manifold, intercooler and turbocharger.
The 2008 Impreza continues Subaru's legendary safety and crash worthiness record. New for 2008 are standard side-curtain airbags and available Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) . Also standard is the Subaru Advanced Frontal Airbag System (SRS), with front seat head / chest side impact air bags (SRS) and a driver's side front air bag that deploys according to the driver's proximity to the steering wheel, as measured by a sensor on the seat track. In the passenger side front seat, a sensor module detects weight on the passenger seat – first determining if it is occupied, and if so by a child or adult – to control air bag deployment. As part of the system, the dashboard features a new "Airbag" indicator light.
The new 2008 Impreza utilizes the Subaru Ring-Shaped Reinforcement Frame Body Structure with front and rear crumple zones. The new 2008 Subaru Impreza also incorporates 3-point seatbelts for all seats (height-adjustable for outboard positions); front seatbelts with electrically triggered pre-tensioners and force limiters, 4-channel/4-sensor Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) and active front seat head restraints (Not available on WRX Performance Seats) to help reduce whiplash injury in a rear collision.

Why do we waste time on things that we know won't last, things that you know are missing core elements that make any sort of relationship- whether it be a friendship or something more- work, …things that just aren't fulfilling? Why do people settle? Why am I settling for this weird thing that just feels like filler when I could be just as happy, if not leagues happier, alone?
The yearning, that internal yell, to be needed and wanted needs to be silenced. It needs the volume to be turned all the way down, and it needs to be taught how to shut up- period.
