The XF likely signals a shift out of the generations-long styling rut the brand has been in with its revered sedan, but it's hard to find fault with an all-aluminum sedan sporting V8 power and serving up old-world cachet. To sweeten the deal, Jaguar has added more standard content to the 2009 XJ, though we still don't get the 2.7-liter diesel that other markets get to enjoy. Settling for the AJ V8 is no chore, and the XJ Super gets the supercharged 4.2-liter engine we know and love from the XJR and others. br /br /Newly designed seats improve leg- and footroom for rear seat passengers, and seat heaters are standard in all models. Soverigns get cooling functionality added to the chairs, as well as 20" wheels, soft grain leather, Jaguar branded sills and the traditional wool rugs in the rear. Navigation is standard in Executive and Soverign trim levels, along with parking radar, and bi-xenon lighting. If these are the last XJs before the model is redone with an all-new look, they may be very well equipped final examples of a classic sedan idiom.em /br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-jaguar-xj/"2009 Jaguar XJ/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-jaguar-xj/1201538/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/xj_2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-jaguar-xj/1201537/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/12/xj_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: Jaguar]pa href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/04/jaguar-updates-the-2009-xj/" rel="bookmark"Continue reading emJaguar updates the 2009 XJ/em/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/04/jaguar-updates-the-2009-xj/"Jaguar updates the 2009 XJ/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:33:00 EST.

Author : Glenn Blakeslee

He became part of the Grand Flyby Mission midway through the third decade of his life, as a junior designer on the Flight Data Subsystem team.

He found himself at the leading edge of spacecraft design, and worked with the members of his team to build a robust device capable of data-handling functions for a long-term project.

He went to the Cape for the liftoff, was amazed to see the spacecraft climb on a column of flame. He met a girl on a Florida beach, and a year later married her.

The next years were heady times, as the spacecraft arrowed its way to the outer planets: Jupiter and her moons were imaged, and Saturn and her rings fell to the instruments aboard the spacecraft. He lived as fast as the data coming in, speeding the crowding freeways of LA in his sports car and drinking more than usual. He had an affair, which his wife did not discover.

The spacecraft’s mission was extended, and he found himself no longer a junior engineer but in charge of a team. The FDS was his baby, he the hands-down expert. The spacecraft was the first to perform a flyby of Uranus, and the first to photograph Neptune.

In the fifth decade of his life, he found himself settling down. His fast car had long ago been traded for a family-style sedan. He spent hours at work designing methods for upgrading the spacecraft, and when he and his team succeeded the job of the spacecraft changed again, to a long-duration interstellar mission. His wife learned of his dalliance a decade earlier and, bored and facing an empty nest, divorced him.

Some of the instruments on the spacecraft â€”those with no use in the sparser stretches of the solar systemâ€” were shut down, and though the incoming data never ceased it did slow. He found his staff reduced, which was expected. He found his life had settled into a slow rhythm â€”collecting data from the far-off spacecraft, sending updates across the expanse, sleeping and eating.

One year after the spacecraft crossed the termination shock â€”the inexorable slowing of the solar windâ€” he suffered a heart attack. He took time off but kept charge of his small team. With doctors orders he was back on the job, but charged with shutting down two more of the spacecraft’s systems. Three years later he retired.

He kept a firm hand on the spacecraft’s systems as a part-time consultant. With only two instruments still collecting data, the mission had collapsed to a terminal phase. They held a party when the spacecraft entered heliopause, and it reminded him of the good old days, when the spacecraft was running fast through the outer planets and the data stream held discovery after discovery. Now past the edge of the solar system, the spacecraft would coast quietly forever.

It became apparent to him that he and the spacecraft had led parallel lives, from a fast and fiery launch to a slow cold end.

Late in his eighth decade he found that his time in the sun had created a defect in his skin which, in the darkness and solitude of his late age, would probably end his life. So, too, the spacecraft: its time in the sun had ended, the reactors that powered it all but discharged. But it sped on, and so might he.

The rapid telemetry of his heart would slow, the data stream of his brain would trickle to a stop â€”but he knew, somehow, that he and the spacecraft would ride together, into the light of lesser suns.

As you can see in the gallery of new high-res pics below, the Mazda3 five-door gets the same swoopy sheetmetal as its four-door brethren, including the super happy smiley front end face. What's new is an extended roofline that drops down at a steep angle to create a wagon-esque profile. With a D-pillar that kinks up at a swept back angle, the look is very similar to that of a Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix that's been stepped on by a giant. The new cargo capacity will no doubt be appreciated by families who can put every extra cubic foot to good use, and if the current generation Mazda3 is any indication, this will also be the basis for the Mazdaspeed model. br /br /At the moment, all the specs for the new Mazda3 five-door hatchback are for the European market, so don't expect its new 2.2L and carryover 1.6L turbo diesel engines to be available in the U.S. Europeans will also have a choice of 1.6L and 2.0L gas engines, though we expect the U.S.-spec model to offer the same 2.0L and new 2.5L four-cylinder engines as the sedan.

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? puts your skills to the test

PSP Updates

- 1 days and 23 hours ago

If challenging 2D games are your thing then you'll love span style="font-style: italic;"/spana style="font-style: italic;" title="More news on the Demon Penguin's hero debut" href="http://pspupdates.qj.net/category/Prinny-Can-I-Really-Be-the-Hero-/cid/5316"Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?/a Get a thick, rubber coating for your PSP 'cause you might end up throwing it straight unto the nearest wall in frustration.brbrFirst of all, Prinny is a terrible jumper. Prinny's bones must be lined with metal plates from all his bone-breaking adventures, and that waist pouch must have a full-size sedan in it. Despite being able to suspend in mid-air when sword-slinging, Prinny feels very heavy, needing good momentum to get some good distance out of a jump. He IS a penguin after all.brbrp style="text-align: center;"a href="http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/126978/Prinnyfull_qjpreviewth.png?328791" rel="lightbox[article126978]" title="Err... 20Now 20what 3F 20- 20Image 201 20 26nbsp 3B 20 20 26nbsp 3B 20 3Ca 20href 3D 22http 3A//img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/126978/Prinnyfull.png 3F328791 22 20target 3D 22_blank 22 3E 3Cimg 20src 3D 22/img/newwindow.png 22 20title 3D 22Open 20in 20new 20window 22 20border 3D 220 22 3E 3C/a 3E"img style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;" alt="Err...

Now what? - Image 1" src="http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/126978/Prinnyfull_qjpreviewth.png?328791" align="" border="0"/abr/pbrJust like X and Zero, getting hit in mid-air means you drop straight down like a used diaper. Lucky for the a href="http://pspupdates.qj.net/tags/maverick/1885" id="tag" title=""Maverick/a Hunters, they've got moves to cover that weakness - Prinny does not. You have to be extra careful that you clear the way before you jump.brbrThe worst part is that Prinny, despite being heavy, is not heavy-armored. The poor thing can only endure three hits - and that's in Normal Mode. You basically have to go through the levels - taking enemies down and jumping like a rock - then you have to take a boss down, all on three points of health.brbrHell Mode is even worse, take ONE hit and you're dead. Fortunately, a href="http://pspupdates.qj.net/tags/nippon-ichi/3234" id="tag" title=""Nippon Ichi/a acknowledges the difficulty with a good amount of checkpoints. Still, Prinny seriously needs to start using those wings, 'cause he can't live on swordplay alone.brbrhr style="width: 100 ; height: 2px;"brspan style="font-weight: bold;"More news on Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?br/spanullia href="http://www.qj.net/Yes-Prinny-you-can-be-the-hero-and-you-ve-got-3-vids-to-show-for-it/pg/49/aid/126659"span title="Prinny's got 3 vids" style="font-style: italic;"Yes Prinny, you can be the hero, and you've got 3 vids to show for it/span/abr/li/ulbrbrdiv class="feedflare" a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?a=56KVz1uW"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?d=41" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?a=QsHwn2wG"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?d=50" border="0"/img/a a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?a=onI4aI54"img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~f/QJ/PSP?d=43" border="0"/img/a /divimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/QJ/PSP/~4/zKzB5aYUqxg" height="1" width="1"/
