Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Subaru Impreza
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.8
For 2012, Subaru introduces an all-new version of its capable and dependable compact sedan and wagon. The 2012 Subaru Impreza is roomier and better-trimmed inside than many competitors, and continues as the only passenger car under $20K with standard Symmetrical all-wheel drive (AWD). Courtesy of reduced weight, a new, more-efficient 2.0-liter boxer engine and continuously variable automatic transmission, the 2012 Impreza offers the best EPA-estimated fuel economy of any gasoline-powered all-wheel-drive passenger car, better even than the base-engine/automatic-transmission mileage of front-drive compacts like Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Cruze, Volkswagen Jetta and Nissan Sentra.
The 2012 Impreza is the practical choice if you value the no-nonsense reliability, security and all-weather traction benefits of standard all-wheel drive combined with roomy comfort and top-notch fuel economy in its class.
If Subaru's traditionally excellent safety ratings or the Impreza's standard all-wheel drive traction isn't a big factor in your purchase decision, there are compact competitors that offer more features for less money.
Subaru made the Impreza a comfortable, roomy, attractive place for customers downsizing from mid-size cars. The Impreza's safety credentials are bolstered by a standard driver's knee airbag for 2012. Last year's Outback Sport is discontinued, replaced by two range-topping 5-door wagon models: the 2.0i Sport Premium and 2.0i Sport Limited.
Like comfortable sneakers, the 2012 Subaru Impreza offers surefooted all-wheel-drive traction under all road and weather conditions. It may lack the sharp steering response of a Focus or road feel...
... of a Civic, but the Impreza imparts confidence and feels unflappable at all times. The all-new 2.0-liter boxer engine is 13 percent less powerful than last year's 2.5-liter, but acceleration is decent, especially with the available continuously variable transmission (CVT), which replaces 2011's 4-speed automatic. The CVT responds quickly to changing road grades and driver input without shift lag, although with the radio and fan turned off, a slight transmission whine is heard. New front seats offer more comfort and improved support. Outward visibility is among the best in the segment. The wagon's split rear seat folds completely flat and the rolled-up cargo cover stows under the cargo floor – two examples of Subaru's thoughtfulness.
Called "Hill Hold" in popular parlance, this nifty feature keeps your Impreza from rolling back or forward as you release the clutch when starting out on an incline. It's standard on manual-transmission models.
New for 2012, this dash-mounted analog gauge gives Impreza drivers bio-feedback on how fuel-efficient they are driving. It's simple, effective and if you keep the needle to the right, you're saving gas.
Although overall length is unchanged from 2011, the 2012 model is the roomiest Subaru Impreza ever. It has more rear-seat legroom than some mid-size cars thanks to a skillful wheelbase stretch and scalloped front seatbacks. Hip and shoulder room improve courtesy of carefully contoured door panels. Larger door openings make getting in and out easier than in many competitors. Raised seat heights, increased glass area and a lowered dash help give a command-of-the-road feel. Front seats get pressure-distributing bottom cushions, increased lumbar support and new tilt-adjustable headrests. Soft touch coverings adorn the dash, door panels and console.
The 2012 Subaru Impreza gets all-new sheet metal. Both the more-formal 4-door sedan and sporty 5-door wagon feature more sharply sculpted, Legacy-derived styling with prominent wheel arches and hawkeye-shaped headlights. In silhouette, each has a light and airy greenhouse with large windows and slimmer-looking roof pillars for improved visibility, highlighted by a more rakish windshield. With blind spots reduced or eliminated, the new Impreza is one of the easiest cars in its class to maneuver and move through traffic.
The base Impreza 2.0i rolls on smallish 15-inch steel wheels, but otherwise is cheerfully equipped with standard all-wheel drive, A/C, remote keyless entry, 60/40 split folding rear seat, carpeted floormats, wagon cargo tie-downs, auto-off headlights, 4-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo, height-adjust driver's seat and tilt/telescoping steering column. The 2.0i Premium gains 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, wagon cargo cover, sliding center armrest, and a 6-speaker audio with Bluetooth streaming, iPod connectivity, hands-free phone capability, and a USB port. The 2.0i Limited adds leather trim, 17-inch alloy wheels, the CVT (automatic transmission), heated seats and HD radio with 4.3-inch display. Well-trimmed and wagon-only, the 2.0i Sport Premium and Sport Limited models lack only standard navigation and a moonroof.
The only option available on base 2.0i Imprezas is the CVT. With the Impreza 2.0i Premium, the optional CVT comes with shift paddles that allow the driver to manually select six ratios. Also available on 2.0i Premium models are an all-weather package with heated seats and outside mirrors plus wiper de-icers, and a 17-inch alloy-wheel package that adds stainless-steel exhaust tips and a leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel. A power moonroof and 6.1-inch touch-screen navigation system with XM satellite radio is optional on all but the base model. Last year's removable Tom Tom nav unit is no longer offered. Neither are power seats.
The 2012 Subaru Impreza sticks with its unique, compact boxer engine that's known for reliability and a low center of gravity that helps handling and safety. But while the 2011 2.5-liter Impreza had one of the larger, more powerful standard engines among compacts, the all-new 2012 2.0-liter version is among the most advanced and fuel-efficient with a 36-percent boost to its EPA combined city/highway rating. Subaru engineered the new engine for improved low- and mid-range torque, which improves around-town responsiveness. A switch to a new dual-overhead-cam configuration with variable valve control for both intake and exhaust boosts efficiency and performance. Adapted from the Legacy, the 2012 Impreza upgrades its automatic transmission to the Lineartronic CVT, which – unlike earlier CVTs that droned on – gives a more linear response to the gas pedal.
2.0-liter flat-4
148 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm
145 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 25/34 mpg (manual), 27/36 mpg (automatic)

"Our other car is 2013 Mercedes C300 AWD. Instead of taking over the 2012 Ben, I opted for a new Suby. Why pay expensive maintenance and premium gas? I wouldn't had consider this if not a hatchback and the limited edition-both well worth the extra price. Great value for the money. Unlike the Benz when I want any combination of heat/cold/defrost it is instant and I don't have to look at the controls.I easily can change the air and cabin filters. Handling is great. Hatchback hauls lots of stuff. 1 ½ cubic yards of mulch. Also my wife's real estate signs and I don't even have to put the rear seats down. Put on 4 Blizzak snow tires and in spring replaced with Michelins. This is my "common sense" answer to having a Miata.Now I may consider the new platform they are coming out with. Previous cars I have own Lexus, Volvos,Honda Accords."

"First: I got this new 2016 Impreza Sport Limited Hatchback for my girlfriend. I can't comment on the reliability as it's new, but based on her previous Outback I expect good reliability. The pros: I like the XM radio style better than my Ford Truck. I drove it 300 miles the first weekend and it's very comfortable. Reviews suggest the CVT makes the car drag, but it does have paddle shifters, and for a 4 cyl seems plenty powerful. The moon roof is nice. With the back seats down, it has a lot of cargo room. Very nice. The price: I did not have to talk to a car salesman as I requested an e-quote from the dealer. The price was about $700.00 under invoice or nearly $2500 under MSRP. Compared to similar cars I found this to be a very fair bottom line price since 1.49% financing was also available. The cons: If you auto start the car, it turns off when you open the door and you have to restart it once inside. The car is averaging 31.5 mpg on the highway, so not sure about the advertised 37 mpg. Granted, this was mostly at 70 mph. I've noticed the hands free phone is noisier than others when I'm talking to my girlfriend while she's driving. The funky: You would think that a sports limited would have auto electric seats, but not the Impreza. It is not an option in this vehicle (thus the 7 is for convenience), the seats are the old manual adjust. Personally, I think a Sports Limited model should come with mud-flaps, but that is an extra option. The door handle touch lock/unlock seems unnecessary. I'm not into push button starts, but that seems to be the new fad for many cars. All that being said, I still think it's a great purchase and highly recommend it. Still hoping gas mileage will improve a bit with break in."

"I bought a fully loaded wagon 1 year ago. I was torn between it and another Mazda3. Fortunately, Mazda made the decision for me by making the backseat too small for my two car seats and that stupid flimsy gimmicky useless heads up display speedometer. The Impreza isn't as sporty looking, nor does it handle as well as the Mazda3. However, its utilitarian features make it a better fit for me since I need the ability to get around a congested city and still need room for two small children. It was never intended for roadtrips, I have a CX-9 for those, but I had an unexpected emergency situation last week and I was able to fit my family of four plus baggage plus two extra disassembled carseats into the Impreza without even attempting to use the roof racks. It handles Ok. If you need fast acceleration (like when passing on a single lane road) you better floor it but it gets the job done. I've been able to drive on hilly roads in snow that I previously had avoid due to not being able to get up the hills on slick roads with no problem. It's gas mileage is far superior to the Mazda3 despite the AWD. It also handles bumps and rough roads smoothly. Although these factors trade off in the fun to drive category. The interior isn't flashy but it's not overly stark like a Toyota. It's noticeably quieter than the Mazda3 which I appreciate. The eyesight system takes getting used to but now I find myself missing it when I drive my other car. Zero repairs necessary in the first year other than some body work due to a minor fender bender (100% my fault, not the car's)."

"I bought this car in October of 2014. I was reluctant, but it is one of the best purchases I have made in my life. Subaru forever has my heart and respect. This car is fabulous for winter weather. The AWD is amazing. I just recently went ice skating in this car on the Interstate. I could feel this car pull me out of sliding. With about 6 cars along side of the road and a Ford truck going off the road in front of me. My car pulled itself out of sliding and prevented it from going in a ditch. It also practically eats snow for breakfast. I have never had a problem in the winter weather in the mountains of Western Pennsylvania. I've actually helped pull a few small cars out of the snow. This car is very practical. It doesn't have fancy interior or exterior. It's a nice looking car enough. I have gotten many compliments on it, but it's not super flashy. It's very simple and I'm comfortable in it. I have never felt like I was too tall or too big to be in the small sedan. The leg room in the back is also great for adults. I've had people comment on how much leg room they actually have. I wish the standard package came with some specs that I got with the All Weather Package. Like: cruise control, dim rearview mirror, and bluetooth, but that's okay. I know subaru likes to go for more quality and practicality in the car itself than having more specs. I really like the handling in the car as well. I feel like the ride is nice. Sometimes there is some road noise, but it's not too bad. The acceleration is slow, but it's a 4 cylinder so not much to expect there. The MPG is really good for an AWD. I get about 33 MPG with regular driving."

NFL's 10 breakout players: Collins, Patterson poised for big years
Which players are primed to hit star status in 2014? Pats LB Jamie Collins, Vikes WR Cordarrelle Patterson and Cardinals RB Andre Ellington make our list of 10.
Every summer, we speculate on who the breakout stars of an NFL season might be, trying to gauge players ready to make a big jump.
Last summer, few could have expected Cleveland tight end Jordan Cameron or Denver tight end Julius Thomas to make the leaps they did. So as we head into the 2014 season, it's time to try and figure out some of the potential breakout stars for the next six months. Here are 10 players I think are poised to take a big jump forward.
1. Jamie Collins , LB, New England Patriots : He flashed star power late last season as an athletic run-and-chase linebacker. I think his pass-rush skills will show up even more this season. He has all the tools to be a special player.
2. Sio Moore , OLB, Oakland Raiders : He played well for a bad team last season, and few noticed. The Raiders might struggle again, but keep an eye on Moore. He had 50 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks in his first season and should do a lot more in his second.
3. Cordarrelle Patterson , WR, Minnesota Vikings : In his last six games, he had 24 of his 45 catches and three of his four receiving touchdowns. He showed all season he could be an explosive return man. I will be shocked if he doesn't have 70 catches for 1,200 yards -- at least.
4. Desmond Trufant , CB, Atlanta Falcons : The Falcons struggled as a team and as a defense, but Trufant showed why he was a first-round pick. He has great cover skills. And he plays with a swagger. A better pass rush will help.
5. Michael Floyd , WR, Arizona Cardinals : He really came on in his second season in 2013, catching 65 passes for a 16.0 per-catch average and five touchdowns. There are some in the league who think that he might be close to passing Larry Fitzgerald as the top receiver on the roster. This season will tell the story, but I expect even better numbers from him in 2014.
6. Zach Ertz , TE, Philadelphia Eagles : He is a pass-catching tight end who fits in with what the Eagles do on offense. I think we only saw a little of what he can do in 2013. Look for him to catch 65 passes this season.
7. Barkevious Mingo , OLB, Cleveland Browns : He showed off some of his pass-rush skills with five sacks as a rookie in 2013. That number could easily double this season as he gets more time and understands the little tricks of rushing the passer better.
8. Kenny Stills , WR, New Orleans Saints : Take a look at his per-catch average from last season -- 20 yards. That's impressive for a rookie still learning the position. In the Saints' offense, he is the wide receiver who can stretch the field.
9. Andre Ellington , RB, Arizona Cardinals: He can run it. He can catch it. And he has home-run speed. That's the exact type of back you need in this era of wide-open football. Bruce Arians loves his ability. So will Cardinals fans.
10. Jordan Reed , TE, Washington Redskins : He is the new breed of tight end who can create matchup problems in the secondary. He showed some nice pass-catch skills last season before being sidelined with a concussion.

The first European explorer to come to Arizona was a Spanish Franciscan friar named Marcos de Niza. He was looking for the Seven Cities of Gold when he came to the area, which was in 1539. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado was another Spanish explorer, who came to the area in 1540. However, missionaries made up the majority of early Arizona settlers. Fort Tucson was established by the Spanish in 1775. The end of the Mexican War caused a large part of what was known as Arizona Territory to change hands and become part of the United States in 1848. Then, in 1853, the Gadsden Purchase secured the southern part of Arizona Territory for the United States as well.
Arizona Counties
The State of Arizona was organized as a Confederate Territory that existed officially from 1861 to 1863. It was organized as a U.S. Territory on February 24, 1863 and entered the union as a state on February 14, 1912 as the 48th state. It has 15 Counties. The capital is Phoenix and the official state website is http://az.gov/. Select a Arizona county to view information & records pertaining to each County

- Local Records – in addition to a visit to your county clerk's office or website, you will want to visit local genealogical societies, historical societies, small local libraries, and school or college libraries which will provide you with important information for Arizona genealogy.

Arizona Ethnic Group Research
There are many Native Americans living in the state of Arizona. Some of the represented tribes include Pima, Quechan, Tohono, O'odham (Papago, Southern Paiute, and Yavapai. Others include the Cocopah, Chemehuevis, Hopi, Maricopa, Navajo, Mojave, Kaibab-Paiute, Hualapai, Havasupai, and Apache. Several tribes are Inter Tribal Council of Arizona members. Contact information, historical sketches and other tribal information can be found on the website for the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona. However, they are not a facility designated specifically for research purposes.
Many government agencies had jurisdiction over Native American tribes over the years. So, numerous records were kept. The major difficulty that researchers face when looking for information on Arizona Native Americans is that many of those records may be on file in other states. One good example of this is the information on the Navajo tribe. Since the Navajo Nation covers various regions of New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona, agencies in all three of those states may have records pertaining to Arizona Navajos. Regional and national archive branches in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Denver, and other areas must also be consulted for information on the Navajo tribe. Making things even more complicated in some ways, but easier in others, is the fact that Navajo records are generally organized according to Northern, Western, and Eastern Navajo collections.
New Mexico records on Native Americans are often included in Arizona records. The reverse is also true. For example, the Santa Fe Agency records for 1890 to 1935 contain a lot of information on Arizona Native Americans. The same is true for the Leupp Training School records from 1915 to 1935. Records for both agencies are located in Denver at the NARA, along with the 1890 to 1960 records for the Albuquerque School. The National Archives in Washington, D.C. is home to records for Fort Worth and Pueblo Bonito from 1909 to 1926.
The NARA is not the only agency with extensive records on Arizona Native American tribe members. The FHL also has a large microfilmed collection of records from the National Archives Indian Agency and other agencies and collections should also be consulted for the best possible research results.

We booked to stay 4 nights in the Garibaldi Apartment in Milan February 2013. Having booked almost 9 months in advance we secured a very good rate of around 125 Euro per night. We arrived into Milan early morning on day one. From here we took a shuttle bus to Central Station (10 Euro pp) then a taxi to the "Hotel Solutions" office who manage the apartments. As our apartment was not yet vacated they took care of our luggage until 2pm.
We came back at 2pm and someone walked us the 10 minutes to the apartment. This was a bit of a pain with all our luggage, and despite the offer that they would drop the luggage at the apartment for us they didn't, and they didn't even offer to carry a bag on the walk.
None of that mattered as soon as we walked into the apartment. On a quiet street about 5 minutes walk from Moscova station, with a good variety of local restaurants the location is fantastic. About a 10 minute walk and you will be at Duomo. The apartment is a loft style, bright, yet fantastically heated for the winter. The first thing you notice when walking in is the glass floor of the bedroom above the dining/lounge area. Lots of windows provide plenty of natural light.
The apartment has everything you need. Free pay tv. Very fast and free Internet. A fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The bed is very comfy (one suggestion would be a couple more pillows) Plenty of space for two people. Fantastic location, I don't think anywhere would beat it. Lots of supermarkets in the area plus the great little kitchen meant we cooked up a storm each night.
Keep in mind it is not a serviced apartment. That suited us fine. It made it feel even more like a home away from home. Forget a hotel this bets them hands down.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Brera Apartments are located in beautiful areas in the heart of Milan: in the most peaceful part of the historic Brera district, which the artists of the Academy of Fine Arts, since the nineteenth century, have turned into one of the most characteristics of Milan, or in the most glamour part of the city, dotted with shops and showrooms of the most important names in fashion. Brera Apartments are particularly quiet and silent: located in elegant historic buildings, featuring a typical Milanese style. The atmosphere is welcoming and personalized, stylish with "collection design" furnishing, with parquet floors. Each apartment is divided into the large living room, the kitchen area and the bedroom. All Brera Apartments are equipped with Nespresso coffee machine, pods, teas and herbal teas, a 32-inch high-definition TV with free Sky channels, an extensive DVD collection, Hi-Fi stereo system compatible with iPhone and iPOD Apple, and complete with CDs to set the perfect mood.

A way to break the power electricity has over us
Published: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 1, 2003 at 12:00 a.m.
Betcha I can do something you can't do (except for you girls over 50). I can fix my hair, even for the dressiest occasion, without appliances. No blow dryer, no curling iron, no waver, crimper or hot rollers. Pretty good huh?
OK, so it's no big deal that I know how to use plain, old-fashioned rollers and a comb. It would be if I had a job interview or somewhere equally important to go and suddenly the power shut down. Even then I'd be hard pressed. I'd still have to wash my hair first, and that takes a water pump (i.e. electricity).
Not to mention that even if I had water stored for such an emergency, I'd still have to heat it. Can you imagine dunking your head into cold water? Now close your eyes and picture yourself plunging a large chunk of your body into a tub of cold water. Makes you shiver just to think of it, doesn't it?
And that's just water. What does an entire country do when the power grid shuts down? We got a chance to find out last month, when large portions of the northeast found themselves without power in the biggest blackout in U. S. history.
In the New York City area, subways and elevators suddenly stopped working, leaving those inside them not only stranded, but stranded in the dark. Traffic lights blinked out making it necessary for police to man local intersections to keep cars moving. Ten thousand police were on duty overnight.
That's just a small part of the price tag New Yorkers paid. There were people to be evacuated from elevators and subways. Hospitals and other important businesses switched to generators, thus lessening the energy they consumed and further cutting into the electric company's revenues.
Airplanes still in flight had to be rerouted. Other flights had to be canceled. Drinking water became a gold tag item as the four main plants that pump water from the Great Lakes came to a dead stop. Cashiers in markets couldn't ring up sales on electrically run registers. Cell phones stopped working and people stood in lines ten deep waiting to use public pay phones.
On the second day into the blackout, a newscaster announced that New York City alone had already racked up $7 million in losses due to the outage.
One of the benefits of living in Western North Carolina is that we seem to be particularly prone to power outages. I have come to look at it as a blessing because it has forced me to learn some old ways of doing things that most people nowadays don't have to bother learning anymore.
But far more than that, living through several two- to three-day bouts of being completely powerless, in more ways than one, has forced me to rethink my whole view of electricity.
When electricity was discovered, people probably marveled at another new wonder and went quietly on living their lives. After all, they were swimming in a pool of new inventions including gaslights, steamboats, locomotives, transcontinental railroads, the automobile and even the first airplane.
Yet, all in all, life went on much as it always had. It took time for the momentum of the age of industry and invention to alter the way human beings had always done things. The critical junctures passed silently, unnoticed. Novelty became a simple fact, fact became expediency, expediency became dependence and dependence became necessity.
For instance, how many of us could survive comfortably if our electricity were cut off for the next year, beginning right now? Ever thought about it? No water, unless you've had the foresight to install a hand pump, no hot water unless you heat the water you've hauled in from somewhere, no heating water on the stove, unless you have a gas range or a wood cook stove.
No computers. No card catalogues in the library anymore because they've put them all on computers. No banking for the same reason. No television. No radio, except battery powered. No lights. Bedtime is sunset or shortly after the candles burn down. No heat, no air conditioning. Clothes are washed by hand. Bonus: no electricity bill.
Civilization, as we have come to know it, cannot survive without electricity. Now there's a sobering thought. Slender lines, strung from one pole to the next, or buried safely (we hope) underground, literally mean the difference in how we conduct our lives.
It is no accident that one of the first things discussed on news stations within hours of the blackout was the fact that terrorists are still learning how best to attack us. The recent power outage in a mere eight states was instructive not only for us, but for anyone interested in attacking and disabling our nation.
If I were a terrorist, I would not destroy a wealthy nation if I could take it down and harvest its riches another way. It would behoove us to consider that in the light of continued threats of terrorism. Imagine what kind of panic would ensue if the major power arteries of our nation were cut simultaneously.
One unobvious answer would be to do the unthinkable. Learn, as a backup, how to live without electricity. The Amish do it all the time. By sheer necessity, their plain, simple way of life has kept them in touch with the old ways of doing things, before electricity changed the world. In fact, I'm wondering how long it took before the Amish of Ohio and New York even learned there was a power failure. (They're not big on newspapers either.)
Obviously, such a simple idea is not the only answer. But it should be clear by now that it is one of the most obvious answers.

Certainly the reports regarding NBA referee Tim Donaghy are troubling. By the way, he lives near me here in Florida and I met him once. I don't really know him well, though I knew his dad, ACC official Gerry Donaghy.
This is a sad story for the NBA, if there is validity to the reports. You are innocent until proven guilty, though the way commissioner David Stern made his remarks about the situation were very important. He never used the word "alleged" when discussion wrongdoing and breaking of trust.
I want to make it clear that there are so many outstanding referees in the NBA. We should not indict all of them for the actions of one. In any walk of life, be it law, medicine, education, there are going to be bad people who do the wrong things. It will be interesting to see what transpires in the future. We have to wait and see.
Right now, there will be issues of trust and integrity. Fans pay a lot of money to buy tickets and watch these games, and if there is any question of impropriety, that has to be a major concern. Those anti-NBA fans will jump out like crazy.
I feel bad for all of the players and coaches who bust their gut and train so hard. It is a year-round job staying in shape, preparing for the future, going to the weight room. For coaches, they have to scout and get ready for the next season with a very short vacation after summer leagues. They all knock themselves out.
Coaches are trying to survive and win games, and now there is a question over the way a referee handled himself. The guy with the whistle can affect the game.
Years ago, when I was coaching, when I was ticked off at the first team, I would grab a whistle and make them scrimmage against the second team. The loser would run wind sprints. I would come up with some wacky calls to make the first team run and run, baby!
Basketball is the one game where a guy with the whistle could take the star out. A few calls in the post area with hand-checking and all of a sudden the star can be on the bench in foul trouble. My friends, that changes the game dramatically.
I remember at the Final Four talking about Greg Oden in foul trouble. I made the suggestion that maybe it was time to change the rules, allowing big men in foul trouble to play more. At the time I said that instead of five fouls in college or six in the pros, let coaches have the option of keeping these players in the game, but the penalty for fouls over the limit was two shots and the basketball for the opposing squad.
It will never happen. Whistles should not put players on the sidelines. Now you have to wonder if a guy like Donaghy could influence the score of a game to help bookies.
There was one report that Donaghy may cooperate and mention other officials and even players. That is scary to me. This whole scenario has to play out. I hope that the information about other players and referees was not valid and simply a wild statement.
This whole story is so, so sad.

Only one Mario needs to make it to safety in order to pass each level, so if you don't focus on picking up all the extras in each level (like high score awards, coins, and cards), you may find yourself blowing through the entire game in only a few hours. The most satisfying part of the gameplay, however, comes from refining your technique and figuring out ways to attack each puzzle more efficiently to earn the highest score possible. Merely passing each of the game's 72 levels is the easy part. Dominating each of them proves much more difficult, and often takes complex planning and execution.

Talk:Soviet submarine K-219
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Soviet submarine K-219 article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Article policies
|WikiProject Ships
|(Rated C-class)
Some comments dating from 2006[edit]
Am I confused, or are you saying the sub sank in Oct'86 and the captain was imprisoned until May'86? I'm notoriously unreliable about time (and space), but this sounds impossible: released 5 months BEFORE the sub sank?
The author of this page shows a certain lack of care and accuracy in their writing. I suggest that the wording and accuracy needs to be checked. As another example stating as a fact that the USS Augusta interfered with rescue efforts, rather then it is a Soviet charge that the USS Augusta interfered.
Yes, this article does seem to have some bias and (currently) unfounded claims. I've flagged it as biased, so the "interference" from the USS Augusta can be either cleared up or have a citation & explanation added. (Russell Newman 00:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC))
What's in a name?[edit]
What are the Eng translation of Navaga? Trekphiler 19:39, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
19-year old?[edit]
This sort of is in keeping with the other complaints, but it appears that the seaman who sacrificed his life was 20 and not 19-years old according to the article about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkyisdashiznit (talk • contribs) 04:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Say what?[edit]
"Not to be confused with Soviet submarine K-219"? TREKphiler hit me ♠ 04:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- Looking at the page history, it seems Pamporoff mistakenly changed it. I'm not sure a dab to K-19 is really necessary...so I propose deleting. TREKphiler hit me ♠ 04:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Crew roles[edit]
Valery Pshenichny was regarded in the article as a political officer (zampolit) , but he was the security officer, the political officer was a diferent crew member i corrected it . Actually they played very diferent roles in the incident. Several withness described the political officer as short of a coward, while Pshenichny as security officer was well regarded by the crew and worked alongside the rest of them to control the crisis. The movie also incorrectly identifiques Pshenichny as political officer, but that was as dramatic licence since they deleted the character of the zampolit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 00:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Missing nukes?[edit]
No explanation is given as to the nuclear missiles that were apparently missing. This seems a bit strange, surely someone cared that the weapons were gone and made an effort to find out what happened to them? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 10:51, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Robert Ballard went and did recon on it before finding Titanic. It is unknown still who did the work to recover the items. Russia never released any photos that ive been able to find. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 15:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Casualties: specific cause of death[edit]
This edit changed an unsupported assertion re Sergei Preminin's cause of death from "overheating" to "radiation poisoning." AFAICS, any unsupported editorial assertion re specific cause of death is WP:OR. I've changed the assertion at that point so as not to contain an unsupported assertion re cause of death.
FWIW, Hostile Waters, Huchthausen, Kurdin & White 1997 (a novelization cited in a number of places in this article), on p.199 says, speaking of Preminin, ".. he yanked [his OBA] off. He took a small breath, testing. The burning got worse. His nostrils began to gush green foam. It was almost over. ... He looked at the steel hatch, opened his mouth wide, sucked in a tremendous gasp of poison, and let his soul go free"; p.202 says, "The wet tissues of their lungs had been seared by nitric acid. The foam was the body's protective response to those burns. But the protection was drowning the injured sailors. Three had already died and Preminin made four."; p. 203 says, "[Kochergin had] left three dead back in eigh; two of the missilemen from four and Weapons officer Petrachkov. Their bodies had bloated in the heat ..."; p.224 says, re Petrachkov and two other crewman who died in the missile compartment (as if quoting): michman:"They're in the next compartment, Petrachkov and two more. Their bodies, I mean, ..." Kapitulsky:"The heat?" michman:"And the poison. The bodies swelled up like balloons. ...". Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:18, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Assertion re collision with Augusta[edit]
Per WP:BRD, in this edit I had reverted an unsupported bold edit to this article which contradicted cited supporting sources. That was unreverted here. I'm going to re-revert and request that this be discussed here before the changes are reintroduced. The supporting surce cited in the article says, "The Soviet Union claimed that the incident was due to a collision with a U.S. submarine. Captain Britanov says, 'There was no collision.'" and "... I do not tell the story the way my government wants me to tell it. I did not collide with an American sub.", citing further sources named therein. If this is contradicted by other reliable sources, neutrality requires that this article fairly represents all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources. (see WP:DUE). Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:12, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
I cant find the TV programme with the interview with CINC Northern Fleet. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:05, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I haven't seen/heard the documentary myself, and the article says that it was interview recorded in February 2013. Confusingly, there was a 2011 documentary about India titled "The Silent War" (see [1] and [2]), and an episode by that same name in a 2013 series on the Cold War (see [3]). Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 01:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
- Here are the details of the programme containing the piece about K219: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03lnswn. Vladimir Chernavin is listed as a participant. Eckaslike1 (talk) 01:28, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Sony reportedly building Oculus Rift-like VR headset for the PS4
Sony hopes to bring virtual reality mainstream with the release of a headset for the PlayStation 4 sometime in 2014, according to Eurogamer. Sony is said to have planned originally to show off its new technology at Gamescom in late-August, but pulled the product at the last minute in favour of a 2014 launch.
Oculus Rift has been leading the way in the VR gaming space, but it is popular only with a niche gamer set and the development community. A headset release from Sony for the PlayStation 4 could yield some serious attention as it looks to move its Move motion controller out of the way for a serious competitor to Microsoft's Kinect.
A VR headset would be a vastly different experience for gamers. According to Eurogamer, Sony has been showing Evolution Studios' racing title DriveClub internally, and players are able to look around the cockpit of a car - a huge difference from seeing it on your television screen.
Publication CVG adds to the report, saying Sony will show off the new virtual reality headset at the Tokyo Game Show in September, though Eurogamer says we'll have to wait until 2014. Sony is said currently to be considering whether to market the headset as an essential piece to the PlayStation 4 (like Microsoft does with the Kinect) or just as a non-essential add-on.
A developer says the headset will look like Sony's previous 3D efforts and, coincidentally, a new launch on Tuesday may provide just the indication we need.
Sony announced its third-generation head mounted display, the HMZ-T3W, that let's you strap the equivalent of a 750-inch screen to your face. There's nearly zero latency and two OLED panels offer a 3D picture, not to mention 7.1 surround sound wireless beaming into your ears.
Sony has yet to confirm the existence of a virtual reality headset in its plans. But with two sources both confirming its existence, we wouldn't bet against Sony releasing the product sometime in the next year, so we'll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled.

March 12th, 2009
At the end of February, the defense industry received its own special stimulus package -- news of the dollars available for the Pentagon budget in 2010; and at nearly $700 billion (when all the bits and pieces are added in), it's almost as big as the Obama economic package and sure to be a lot less effective.

Inheriting Halliburton's Army: What Will Obama Do With KBR?
by Pratap Chatterjee
February 22nd, 2009
President Obama will almost certainly touch down in Baghdad and Kabul in Air Force One sometime in the coming year to meet his counterparts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and he will just as certainly pay a visit to a U.S. military base or two. Should he stay to eat with the troops, he will no less certainly choose from a menu prepared by migrant Asian workers under contract to Houston-based KBR, the former subsidiary of Halliburton.

I made this cake for work, just for fun. It's the Whipped Cream BC, one layer chocolate fudge cake and one layer vanilla. The inside is filled with crushed Oreos mixed into the BC. I made it tooooo tall, so it got a little bit smooshed in my Wilton cake carrier.

Top Developer
Design a towering mall of mega proportions! Attract droves of customers and elevate yourself to 5-star status in this mall management simulation game!
Add anything from fast food joints to sushi restaurants, stairs and elevators--even a heliport--all with a touch of the finger!
When your establishment's popularity reaches a certain point, a "Fever" is triggered in which customers swamp your mall!
You can then exercise your newfound affluence by investing in the surrounding area--bringing in even more customers and being a good citizen at the same time! Oh yeah!
Keep your eyes on the mega-prize--only you can build the ultimate mall!
Try searching for "Kairosoft" to see all of our games.
Loved it! Works well on Xperia Z3c. This really reminded me of Yoot Tower on desktop. It brings so much memories. This is great and fun! 5 star mall in 10 years whoo
good for killing time pls update this game more actractive
Hate the new layout upgrade
Please add more stores and people
Mega Mall stores Needs more updates needs more levels needs more stores
Usual Kairosoft fun but... This has the usual fun Kairosoft management fun; built, level up, make combos, attract customers, get customers to buy more, make it to the top and have fun! But there are a few things I found dissatisfying with the game. One was as you started to unlock more stores, the list in the build section got extremely long without any immediate organization. It would of been helpful if they had been grouped according to type (food home stores, etc).
