Skip to comments.Navy Yard shooting: AR-15, back in the news -- briefly

click here to read article
Even though the America-hating lib-dem idiots and RINO traitors don't have the votes to kill our precious 2nd Amendment, this tragedy will be played for all the can get out of it.
Bad, bad AR-15!
Ping to "Bad AR-15" articles starting to appear...
It would be better to ban crazy ass liberal shooters.
He only had the shotgun when he arrived...he got the pistol and the AR from guards he shot on the way in...
sheesh....the libs will say ANYTHNG...
Whoa there! Now that nice young man could have been the POTUS's son for Crissake! Watch what you're saying...
Guess I'm finally going to have to break down and buy one before it's too late.
Wait! I thought he was found with a shotgun and a handgun? Which one of these is now an AR-15?
Personally, I'm past that point.
Ban libs, too.
Guns kill people, pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk & spoons make you fat.
I guarantee you if others were allowed to carry his death spree would have been ended rather quickly.
The Adam Lanzas of the world are probably lined-up and buying it by the bagloads. Not being a video game player, I don't know what the attraction is.
Do they intend to ban AR-15's in the hands of law enforcement, too?
My local news in Fort Worth is saying he entered the ship yard with a shotgun then stole someone's AR.
They're not even reporting *how* he got it; just that he *had* it. The facts don't matter.
Okay. Ban any Government employee from having an AR issued as a weapon.
My understanding is that he acquired the weapon from someone he had killed with a sawed off shotgun and that someone was a LEO of some sorts which means it was probably an M16, not an AR15. I could be wrong but if I'm not, we need to nip this in the bud. There's a big difference between AR15 and M16 and we shouldn't allow the media to further disparage the AR15 if an AR15 wasn't actually used.
That would probably save a lot of dogs.
Better hurry; my local FFL said yesterday (when he called about my Beowulf .50 cal being "modified" and ready to pick-up), that he expects an upsurge in demand and price.
The government calls them "Personal Defense Weapons" [That's what the government called out in its Fed Biz Ops ad when the DHS wanted to order a few thousand AR M-4s for their jackboots.....]
It was probably an M-4 AR-type Carbine he hooked off the dead guard....yep, much different with auto...
From Fox News:
"Two federal officials told the Associated Press that Alexis had an AR-15 assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun that he took from a police officer at the scene."
The 12ga MKA is on an AR platform:
This needs to be answered. The AR15 has a bad enough reputation, we don't need this adding to it and providing further justification to the leftists to ban it. The media will certainly attempt to confuse the facts just like they said Holmes was wearing a bullet proof vest when he was actually wearing a nylon tactical vest incapable stopping a pellet gun.
was it even an AR15? LEOs are authorized carry M16s especially when guarding sensitive areas.
Agreed; 2 or 3 CCW/CHL holders would have ended that incident much sooner. 10 or 15 would have ended it very quickly.
Any time the media sees a vest equipment carrier, a 'plate' carrier or nearly any type of vest, they call it a bullet proof vest. It is next to impossible to overcome their deliberate, intentional mischaracterizations. They aren't interested in the truth, they are interested in images, icons and feigned remorse/outrage at the violence.
It is their nature because they are ghouls.
They want to turn every facility in America into a gun free, 'killing zone'.
Far be it for CNN to actually delve into the facts....
I guess someone must do it for them.
I still can't find any 2 news stories which agree on what happened. Most don't/won't even say.
The articles that even mention it all cal it an AR-15. I thought the Military all carried M-16s. Big difference.
Sweet cherry pie!
If I were there it would have ended very quickly.
I would have pulled my one of girlfriends, a Kimber Tac II or Kimber Eclipse Target II(twins) and emptied it into him, reloaded , walked over to hs body and he likely would flinch forcing me to empty the New mag in his head.
Liberal anti woman logic. Because a black guy does the shooting we ban weapons for women...
Ear witnesses reported hearing sets of 3 shots in a row "pow, pow,pow", that sounds like a three round burst fired from an M16A2. Bottom line is the guy liberated the weapon from security guard or a cop using a shotgun. Are they gonna ban shotguns now? or just ban M16s in the hands of cops, security agents, and soldiers?
Of the 4 writers listed, usually Jim Miklaszewski and Pete Williams are the most 'accurate', for that lib-rag network.
Nice piece. I'd probably drop it down to regular 2 3/4" .00 buckshot shells, instead of HD 3" loads.
It's my birthday today. If you lived near me I'd have drinks and a cigar with you.
Then we chase chicks.
Or you could sit back and admire my work,since you are in a committed relationship.
I also carry either a full-size Kimber 1911 Eclipse Target II or a Kimber 1911 Stainless Custom TLE II, Wilson Combat mags, 230gr HPs, with 2 dbl extra mag holsters.
That's what I first thought when I heard the initial reports in the morning. If they could get their perverted way, they'd ban all guns. Except for their bodyguards and friends.
So, time to disarm the military?
I use Winchester SPX1 or Hornady JHP 230 grn as well.
* Credit for phrase goes to 'Sonny', a bit character in ST-TNG 115, "The Neutral Zone".
This whole thing, too soon after the Colorado victories, and too soon are we being "informed" about the supposed shooter, that it stinks like 3 day old fish!
A guy, in the Navy Yard, blasting off an AR15?? Really??
By the way that same supposed Navy yard has been portrayed for years on the TV show "NCIS", there WASN'T a camera SOMEWHERE that wasn't being watched? Really??
"The shooter has a security clearance." They have signs stating that your bags you carry WILL be searched upon entry. Yet, SOMEHOW, this shooter secreted a 30 inch long rifle, made of metals that trip detectors, into the complex?? Really??
Mr. Obama, this is another one of your 'hail mohammed' football passes.
You're in Arizona?
One guy with any kind of personal weapon immobilizing 3000 American military personnel for eight hours make Audie Murphy and Alvin York sound like Richard Simmons and Pee Wee Herman. l make no claim to being a tactical genius but it passes my poor understanding how our military prevails in any situation. If we trust the Navy with aircraft carriers, the Air Force with B-1 bombers, the Army with tanks and the Marines with, well with Marines, we should be able to trust at least some of these folks with side arms.
Maybe I'm just ranting.
Is that true?
Yes. In a little town called Atlanta, Georgia.

Knowing that Colorado Northwestern Community College may have one of their best teams in a long time, Eastern Utah wanted to come out of the first meeting with a win. Especially since it would be a road win. They did just that defeating the Spartans 69-46 to open Scenic West Athletic Conference play on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Paur credits his team with playing one of their best overall games so far this year and especially how well their defense put pressure on a pretty good Colorado team. The five starters score 62 of the 69 points on 22/49 shooting (44.9 percent). The Lady Eagles held Colorado Northwestern to just 46 points.
Priscila Santos makes the most of her thirty-three minutes in the game by scoring 27 points, hitting 10/20 from the field. She also made 7/10 free throws. Santos finished the game with 13 rebounds for a double/double. Last year's all-conference player Bruna Deichmann put up 12 points. Point guard Christin Figgins added 10.
With very strong post play Eastern Utah out rebounded Colorado 48 to 25. Daiana Ferreria pulled in nine defensive boards and four offensive boards for 13.
The EU Women's and Men will resume conference action On Jan. 7 and 8 with home conference games against Snow and Salt Lake Community College.

Rawls' Linguistic Analogy: A Study of the 'Generative Grammar' Model of Moral Theory Described by John Rawls in 'A Theory of Justice.' (Phd Dissertation, Cornell University, 2000)
John Mikhail
Georgetown University Law Center
May 1, 2000
Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 766464
The aim of the dissertation is to formulate a research program in moral cognition modeled on aspects of Universal Grammar and organized around three classic problems in moral epistemology: (1) What constitutes moral knowledge? (2) How is moral knowledge acquired? (3) How is moral knowledge put to use? Drawing on the work of Rawls and Chomsky, a framework for investigating (1)-(3) is proposed. The framework is defended against a range of philosophical objections and contrasted with the approach of developmental psychologists like Piaget and Kohlberg.
One chapter consists of an interpretation of the analogy Rawls draws in A Theory of Justice between moral theory and generative linguistics. A second chapter clarifies the empirical significance of Rawls' linguistic analogy by formulating a solution to the problem of descriptive adequacy with respect to a class of commonsense moral intuitions, including those discussed in the trolley problem literature originating in the work of Foot and Thomson. Three remaining chapters defend Rawls' linguistic analogy against its critics. In response to Hare's objection that Rawls' conception of moral theory is too empirical and insufficiently normative, it is argued that Hare fails to acknowledge both the centrality of the problem of empirical adequacy in the history of moral philosophy and the complexity of Rawls' approach to the problem of normative adequacy. In response to Nagel's claim that the analogy between moral theory and linguistics is false because whatever native speakers agree on is English, but whatever ordinary individuals agree in condemning is not necessarily wrong, it is argued that the criticism ignores both Rawls' use of the competence-performance distinction and the theory-dependence of the corresponding distinction in linguistics. In response to Dworkin's claim that Rawls' conception of moral theory is incompatible with naturalism and presupposes constructivism, it is argued that Dworkin's distinction between naturalism and constructivism represents a false antithesis; neither is an accurate interpretation of the model of moral theory Rawls describes in 'A Theory of Justice.' The thesis concludes by situating Rawls' linguistic analogy within the context of broader debates in moral philosophy, metaethics, natural law theory, the theory of moral development, and the cognitive and brain sciences.

FERRON: Robert Lee Mattox, 85 passed away quietly on Tuesday June 21, 2011. Born July 29, 1925 in Independence, Mo. to Marvin and Opal (Newton) McCart.
"Bob" met Geraldine Ann Sundell, the woman of his dreams, on a blind date over Thanksgiving and they were married one month later on Dec. 22, 1945. They were inseparable for the 65 years together, and could be found dancing the night away for many of those years.
As a Navy Veteran of World War II, he worked hanging drywall until he retired. "Pappy" played on pool and bowling leagues in his younger days and loved golfing, fishing, camping and hunting. He was a devoted and loyal husband, father, grandfather, and friend who had a great love for his animals.
Survived by his wife Geraldine "Gerry" of Ferron, sons Gary (Betty) of Ferron, John (Lisa) of Grantsville, Michael (Vickie) of Carlsbad N.M., Robert (Jennie) of Milford, Iowa; daughters Barbara (Don) Petty of Emery, Karen (Sammy) Caldwell of Stansbury Park, Penny (Kevin) Stewart of Stockton; 40 grandkids, 83 great-grandkids, and 12 great-great-grandkids. Preceded in death by his parents, brother Marvin McCart, daughter-in-law Sammie Kay, granddaughters Denise and Diane, and great-granddaughter Paige Cedy.
The family would like to send a special thank you to Diane Tadehara and Melinda Allridge from Rocky Mountain Hospice and the staff at the Emery County Care and Rehab for showing Dad so much love and respect.
Funeral services were at 11 a.m., Saturday, June 25, 2011 at the Ferron Millsite LDS Ward Chapel (35 W. 200 N). A viewing was Friday, June 24, 2011 from 6-8 p.m. at the Ferron Millsite LDS Ward building, and Saturday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to the services, also at the church. Interment was in the Ferron City Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Bob at www.fausettmortuary.com.

One Year On: UNEP Remembers Wangari Maathai
By Amina Mohamed, UNEP Deputy Executive Director
It was during the 1993 Vienna World Conference on Human Rights that I first met Wanagari Maathai. Our paths would cross many times in the following years.
She was a woman of great integrity, who set and achieved high standards in all aspects of her life. Women today are striving to meet these kinds of standards.
She was a trail-blazer in so many ways: becoming the first woman in East and Central Africa to obtain a PhD and, in 2004, becoming the first environmentalist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for, in the words of the Nobel Committee, standing "at the front of the fight to promote ecologically viable social, economic and cultural development".
Throughout her work, she devoted just as much time to her role as a mother, bringing up her children well.
So numerous were her achievements, I often wondered if she had more hours in the day than the rest of us.
Wangari was the first to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty, whether for tree planting or at demonstrations to free political prisoners.
She was an unflinching champion of democracy and was thorough, consistent and unwavering in her beliefs and convictions.
For UNEP, she was an excellent partner who never tired of supporting the organization's ideals, such as her co-patronage of the Billion Tree Campaign. She represented UNEP with grace and conviction when requested.
Yet despite her heavy workload and long string of commitments, you would never hear her complain. Wangari took all the challenges of her work in her stride. For her, nothing was a burden.
Throughout her life, people from all backgrounds would seek her counsel on issues relating to the environment, development or democracy. She always made time for them.
She is one of a small handful of individuals whose legacy will truly be felt on local, national and international scales. In Kenya, the Greenbelt Movement she founded continues her work of championing women's rights and the environment. The 30 million trees the organization has planted to date across Africa will stand tall in her memory.
Elsewhere in Africa, she championed the continent's tropical forests, calling for better government management of natural resources, such as the Congo Basin.
The tributes that continue to be paid to her work by presidents, prime ministers and other leaders are testament to the great impact she made beyond her native Kenya.
Above all, Wangari will be remembered as a great listener, an excellent teacher, a wise counselor and a faithful friend.

Leafs Wanted: Dead or Alive
March 09 2011 12:08PM
Ladies and Gentlemen I come to you today with the rational assertion that the sky is, in fact, falling. The Leafs have now played two games in a row where they haven't won. The reasons for this are straightforward and obvious and so I'll walk you through them as a sign of courtesy as you most likely are already well aware of them. These people are wanted for their crimes against our playoff march.
Last seen: Not scoring last night, what a jerk
If Phil Kessel would just suck it up and score a playoff clinching goal already the Leafs could rest easy making it into the post-season. It's so simple I can't believe this five million dollar slacker hasn't just done it already. What are we paying him for anyways? This guy should have scored this year's playoff clinching goal back in September and started work on his Cup clinching goal in November.
Last Seen: Couldn't be found on Sunday morning, likely out slacking somewhere
The most ridiculous thing about this team is how many people are judging James Reimer on useless stats like save percentage. Has a save percentage ever won a game? No. James Reimer hasn't scored a single goal this year. Aren't great players supposed to rise to the occasion and take games over singlehandedly?
Last seen: Jumbotron, ACC
Unlike hero to the people Leafsman, I've seen Carlton before plenty of games the Leafs lost. He doesn't have Leafsman's mojo, intangibles or sticktuitiveness. Carlton is a bear and should be considered dangerous.
Last seen: Buffalo, NY
Where has this guy been for the past three weeks? Honestly I haven't even heard his name mentioned during a game and looking at his stats he has zero points. If the Leafs want to make the playoffs they'll need the contributions of All Stars like Tomas Kaberle. This invisibility act won't help.
Last seen: bottom of Lake Michigan
We don't have a polarizing scapegoat to blame our problems on now that JFJ has been gone for years. Steve Bartman has been ruining the fortunes of teams with great histories for years and he hasn't done anything for us. I ask, simply, why not? Shouldn't everyone be expected to pull their weight to help the Leafs?
We've got our work cut out Barilkosphere Readers. Let's round up some criminals and get this team back on track.
Those bastards. Carleton, you're a BEAR for chrissakes, public enemy number one! Why isn't the opposition looking over their shoulders everytime they step foot into the ACC? Pull your damned socks up and strike fecalating fear into the hearts of our enemies! Rabble rabble rabble

Cute but not comfy
"The mix of black and gold sandal was perfect with a maxi I have with gold details. However, these shoes are majorly uncomfortable. I'm sure they are all gone by now as they were on sale when I bought them and I used my rewards points. If you are sitting they are perfect but if you try to walk in them for a distance you will make a bigger statement. (Not a good one). 80% of my shoes are heels so I do know how to walk in them."

"They are super sexy and my husband loves them! I wore them with skinny jeans and a cute top. I ordered an 8, which I normally wear, but I probably should have returned them for a 7.5 since I felt like my foot was sliding forward. I wear heels all the time and these take some getting used to walking in, they're pretty high and probably feel that way because most of my other shoes have more of a platform at the toe/ball of foot. I love them and will still wear them as much as I can (they weren't uncomfortable), just maybe get a half size smaller if you like a snugger fit."

Publications Tagged: Progressive Stabilization
- Added August 01, 2005
- Reshaping the Expeditionary Army to Win Decisively: The Case for Greater Stabilization capacity in the Modular Force. Authored by Colonel Bryan G Watson.
- The author makes the case that U.S. strategy demands the U.S. Armed Forces build a force with greater capacity for conducting stabilization operations concurrent with combat operation. He traces the strategic roots of the stabilization requirement, develops a warfighting concept for "progressive stabilization," and makes judgments on whether the Army's current Modular Force effort will generate the right type of force. He concludes by making some recommendations on where the Army should adjust its current modernization effort to make the force more relevant.

Check your PM's I gave you my key
Aww, I saw there were some left and thought yay finnaly i came in time to claim one. Only to discover it is NA only.
Oh well have fun people
Since this is for PS3, I grabbed one for my brother. He started installing this morning before he went to work, so I have some time before he gives me a review.
Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...
I'd love to try it, but I won't buy a PS3 just to beta this. (I have Xbox 360, it would be nice if I could play it there )
If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game.
Bad News for the XBOX player, it will only ever be released on PS3 & Future SONY platforms.
As for the keys, being a EVE player since the BETA we all got keys (Think I ended up with 3 or 5 of them) Problem is like some above I flat refuse to buy a PS3 just to try out a game/Play a game.
Who knows though might see a cheap one some place like a PAWN shop & give it a go.
Am wondering if I would be able to give the keys to other people to use without it causing me problems? Anyone know if the EVE Player Keys are linked to the players EVE account?
Anyway will probably be looking for Merc's to do a few jobs ingame for our corp/alliance/coalition so will see you all in there one way or another
Originally posted by DEXA88

I am pretty sure the CBT is open for anyone around the world that gets a key, You might want to try going to the DUST514 website & applying for Keys through there as it is also possible to apply through the main site (Although I am not sure the keys are handed out instantly)
Also check out the FB pages as there will be keys given out through there also
'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.
When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.
No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

Start with a billion dollars and make an MMO.

Great booties!
"I absolutely love these boots, they're a great price and very comfortable. I've walked all over the city for the past 2 weeks since I got them and they haven't hurt my feet or shown any wear or tear yet. Highly recommend!"

"I love these boots. They are very comfortable and so easy to get on. The only complaint is that the elastic around the top is wearing but I'm sure they will last for another season. The sole could be a bit rougher to prevent slidding but I put a sole gripper on the heels."

"I wanted to love these but the craftmanship is sub par. It arrived to me with some white powder looking stains and the glue along where sole and material meet is obvious. Otherwise comfy if there were a pair that didnt look glued together Id keep em."

What drives people to get into the classic car hobby and lifestyle. Well, for Grant and Kathy Jenkins it just might be a host of memories the cars revive and for certain it's the friendships they have developed along the classic car circuit.
Grant and Kathy were both living in Magna many years ago. Grant had a 1960 Chevy Impala which he drove. He was preparing for a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the time came to sell his car. Not a prospect he was looking forward to, but a necessary step. He sold the car to Kathy's brother.
Grant wanted a picture of Kathy sitting on the car which she sent to him on his mission. Of course, the mission president happened to see the picture and said girl's sitting on cars in their nightgowns wasn't too appropriate for missionaries and requested that Kathy not send any more pictures.
As things turned out, the brother wrecked the car, but Grant got the girl and he and Kathy were later married. "We used to go to the drive-in movie in that car and one time we fell asleep in the car and the people at the movie were knocking on the window trying to wake us up. There are a lot of memories for us centered around that car. Sometimes Grant let me drive the car to school.
"When the opportunity came along for us to get a car just like the one my brother wrecked, we bought it. It was a 30 year retirement present and a 40th anniversary present all in one. Grant worked for Rocky Mountain Power for 30 years. We bought the car from a friend and really had to twist his arm to get it. Grant said, 'if you'll deliver the car to Ferron, I'll take it.'
"We really enjoy the car shows and the rod runs. It's just like family, the friends that we see, it's like a class reunion or a family reunion.
"Grant builds steering wheels for the classic cars. It's the One Off Banjo Steering Wheel Company. He bends the wheels and designs them. He even puts horns in them. He builds the steering wheels to custom fit the car," said Kathy.
Grant said the cars are an investment and the cars become your friends as you work on them. Back after they were first married they had a 57 Nomad and now they have that same car back again. He built the car and then sold it to a friend and then bought it back again. He put original wheels and tires back on it.
Each year the end of April the Jenkins' attend the Moab car show. They attend the Los Angeles Roadster show each year and Grant shows his steering wheels there.
"We have incorporated our car shows and family vacations together," said Kathy.
Grant custom designs each steering wheel and is a certified machinist and welder. Kathy said when people retire they need a hobby and this classic car adventure makes a good hobby for Grant. Grant also shared the interest in classic cars with those he worked with at Rocky Mountain Power. Kurt Killian and Jon Davis both share a love for classic cars. So around the water cooler, they didn't discuss sports, but cars. Jon has a 1929 Ford Sedan delivery vehicle. Jon says that car is his attitude adjustment. Kurt also has a variety of cars he shows.
Grant said, "My grandpa used to put me on his lap in his 1934 Ford and let me turn the steering wheel. I would say go faster grandpa. Those 1932-1934 Fords are very desirable cars now and are hard to find and costly if you do find one. Restoring cars takes a lot of patience and it's not a cheap hobby. I've spent seven years working on just one car. It just takes forever and you have to wait for other people to do what you need, too."
The Jenkins family have come a long way since the days of cruising to the movies in the Impala; they have raised a family, retired from a career, but in a way they are back where they started, still cruising the Impala and enjoying life. One road at a time.

So, every week I write a column in this space, and often I get some interesting feedback. But rarely does the earth move or the entire industry change based on what I write, despite the fact that I work very hard each week for the perfect 1,000 words to inspire my readers.
Well, last week, I wrote my normal column and was subsequently quoted in another story that ran in National Mortgage News. Those two features changed the entire industry for the better. So, for the next couple of weeks, I am here to take credit for my oversized influence and give readers a couple more industry changing tips.
Let's start with the quote heard round the world. Last week, long-time industry editor Mark Fogarty wrote an article about potential changes to Fannie and Freddie. Around paragraph 4, he included a quote from me stating, "Whatever they do, I hope they maintain that strong core of talent at the two agencies." My point, of course, was that the agencies have been major contributors to technology innovation and the creation of product and process standards for our industry. Obviously, this endorsement of the fine folks at Fannie and Freddie so moved their regulator that Mel Watt came out of the cone of silence to issue a series of announcements that would seem to indicate some changes in his approach to regulating them.
Based on his comments, I think we could see expanded credit criteria options from the agencies, a nice high loan limit for the foreseeable future and some clarity around repurchase risks for lenders. All of this likely means expansion of credit options for home buyers and signifies that perhaps the pendulum is beginning to swing back in the other direction�toward easier credit and more options for homeowners. Obviously, this is but a cursory analysis, given the few words I have to work with here, even taking into account the extreme power my writing seems to possess. But let me now focus on some recommendations for mortgage executives intent on growing their market share and, more importantly, managing risk as the industry begins to expand into higher-risk lending.
As we experience this change in credit parameters, the increase in alternate product options and the expansion of what is considered acceptable credit, each company will have to decide whether to be an early adopter or a follower. Early adopters have a chance to not just originate these newly qualified loans, but also to leverage the evolving product set to establish new relationships with Realtors and other referral sources. For the past several years, the typical LO has not had a lot of news to share with Realtors, other than low rates and vanilla products. But now, at the very moment product expansion is coming, Realtors will want to know what it means. The NAR fought hard for some of these changes, but it�s the individual Realtor that needs to know what it means to them.
The strong sales professionals will take this chance to become experts on the new product options and provide specific examples of how much purchasing power has changed, based on the new rules. As the rules change, and LO can give the referral sources examples of the types of borrowers who may now qualify and did not before. Then ask the business�if they can think of any potential home owners who might now qualify�and try to grow your business one referral at a time. Become the expert, and leverage that to grow share in your markets through outreach and education about these new trends.
This brings me to my second observation. In the example above, it may appear that I�m advocating the early adopter strategy, saying it's best to move quickly into these new segments. However, there is risk here, as well. If you are too successful, you could end up being the "low FICO" lender of choice, which may please your sales folks but may not please your regulators or other stakeholders. So, my second piece of advice is to carefully measure changes in your market share at a very discrete level.
A prudent executive needs to know how their market share is changing by measuring this on a regular, even weekly basis. It could be that your super engaged sales force is out there talking it up in the markets and you are suddenly getting a spike in high LTV and lower FICO borrower rate locks. It may be too much, too soon, and you may need to control that flow of volume. But you will not even know how successful your efforts are, or how much additional risk you may be taking on, if you don�t measure it against changes in the market.
This is also likely to reveal which of your salespeople are very effective at gaining share. These should be rewarded and recognized, while others should be encouraged to do more. Of course, it could be that the difference is a difference in market potential not based on the salesperson at all�certain product changes will impact some markets more than others. You can�t possibly benefit from these kinds of insights if you don�t monitor how you are doing in each market�and I mean right down to the MSA, county and city level. And don�t just monitor funded share�after all, that is what happens 45 days after the sale is done. Monitor the leading activity, including prequalifications, rate locks and applications. This is the only way to know your market potential and actual share in each market segment.
You may also find that being a leader in this outreach effort does not necessarily mean you will get all of the risky loans. In fact, I have seen companies that have launched outreach strategies for new innovative products and seen their share of the base products go up. This "halo effect" comes from the fact that salespeople are more successful at engaging in real conversations about solutions and then are top of mind when the next loan is ready to be placed. When you walk into a Realtor's office, they often ask some version of "what�s new?" A salesperson can be very effective by having an answer for this question that is based on real market expertise and actual changes in product options, even when that product is not exactly what the Realtor needs at that moment. It�s the conversation that gives the LO a chance to show their expertise, and earn the right to get referrals no matter what products are being sought. Monitoring share is a big topic, so feel free to send me a note if you want to discuss this in more detail.
By the way, the other thing that I think should be clear is that National Mortgage News should feature my quotes more prominently in their publications. If I can sway Mel Watt with one line buried four paragraphs deep, imagine what could happen if NMN just lead every article with "Garth Graham of Stratmor says�" Maybe I can get the CFPB to reverse course next.
(Disclaimer: Neither I, nor anyone at Stratmor Group, nor most rational folk believe that I actually influenced Mr. Watt in any way. I am not nearly that egocentric. Actually, if you really want to affect change, you should take a page out of the MBA�s playbook. That organization has done a fantastic job of influencing positive change, of which this is a great example. In hindsight, it's possible I've overdone it a bit and made too much of this article about me, and perhaps came across a bit self-centered. It�s not about me. It�s about you and what you think is important. So, please reach out to me directly and let me know what you think of me. Doh! I did it again.)
Garth Graham is a partner with Stratmor Group, and has over 25 years of mortgage experience.

Conference Theme: 'The Impact of Innovation: Technology and You'
Technology is all around us. Long gone are the days when we could just walk into a classroom with a handful of papers and a piece of chalk. Even if we are in an environment that is lacking resources, our students with mobile phones, internet café, and social networking, are exposed to technology daily. And new uses of technology are being introduced daily. These new uses show how innovation and creativity go hand-in-hand. We invite language educators, administrators, policy makers, and others to join us at ACTC2013 as we examine technology's impact upon our classrooms, share what innovations we are currently implementing, and look to the future imagining the role technology will play in education.

Love the look
"This shoe runs a little narrow in the toe area because of the point. I have narrow feet already, so you may need to go up a half size if you don't have narrow feet. I love how these shoes look with jeans, skirts, and dress pants. They work with everything. The first time I wore them, the mesh type material on the inside of the shoe rubbed the toes on the outside of my feet a little, but now that I have worn them a bit, I don't have this problem anymore. Because there insn't a platform in these, they are not the MOST comfortable on the balls of my feet, but I did walk over a mile in them the first time I wore them and really didn't have any problem. No blisters anywhere:) Over all a great shoe."

Very torn about these
"I'm quite torn about these shoes. I thought I would like them, with the mesh cut outs and the pinkish color...but I can't say I love them. I bought the 8.5 (typically a 8.5 to 9), and they are snug...plus the toes are quite narrow, so they do get squeezed, and you feel the mesh. The heel height is fine for me, as I'm used to wearing 4" heels. The color is patent nude blush, so not pink and not true nude..somewhere in between. I love Enzo shoes typically, but I think I might return these."

There are many types of salads, with a vast array of texture, flavor, ethnicity, aroma and on and on. The most common salad in the American culinary scene though is the green leafy salad. Even within this category the varieties seem to be endless.
Much of what you enjoy in a salad comes from your upbringing and the dining adventures you seek as an adult. Many people partake in salads as a method to minimize calories and maximize nutrition.
However, many salads have a great abundance of calories. One source of calories would be the salad dressing. Not only the dressing itself, but the way it is incorporated. My preferred method is tossing the greens with the dressing. This gives you the advantage of maximizing flavor for the least amount of dressing. Therefore the least amount of calories from the fat of the dressing, even if it is good fat, like extra virgin olive oil.
Simply place all of your greens into a large bowl. Add about 1 1/2 Tbl of dressing per person and toss well. Evenly coat the greens with the dressing. As I mentioned, start with 1 1/2 Tbl dressing per person and go up or down from there depending upon your own personal tastes.
Remember, it's easy to spruce this salad up with 3 to 4 ounces of cooked chicken breast per person. You can also buy the bagged salad greens that already have some veggies in them like carrots. It is your choice.
Mandarin Orange Salad
Serves 4
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbl vinegar
1 Tbl sugar
1/2 tsp hot sauce, like Tabasco
1/2 tsp salt
A few turns of fresh ground black pepper
14 to 16 oz bagged salad greens
3 green onions, chopped
1 11oz can mandarin oranges, drained
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Whisk dressing ingredients very well. Place greens in a large bowl and start with 1/3 cup of dressing and toss to coat evenly. Divide onto 4 plates and top with the mandarin oranges, chopped green onion and toasted slivered almonds. Enjoy!

The Division of Oil, Gas and Mining held their collaborative meeting in Castle Dale on Sept. 12. One of the topics was the Environmental Protection Agency's new rules for power plants and their emissions. William K. Lawson is the Director of Environmental Services for PacifiCorp Energy and he presented information on new regulations which the coal fired plants must adhere to in the near future. "There's a lot going on right now. PacifiCorp is headquartered in Portland, Oregon. They employee 6,300 people and have 1.8 million customers and 11,224 net MW generation capacity. The area they serve is 136,000 square miles. The goal is reliable service at a reasonable cost.
Lawson said coal has been a challenge lately. PacifiCorp's power comes from: coal-55 Percent; natural gas 25 percent; hydro-10 percent; renewable-10 percent.
Baseloaded power is available when you need it. The capacity with renewables is unreliable. The power generated in Utah is mostly from coal. Hydropower is more in the Pacific Northwest.
Lawson went over each of the new rules and regulations and gave an idea of what it means for PacifiCorp. He said coal fired power plants at this time are really being scrutinized. "The reality is we can reduce emissions to zero but it may not have any impact on regional haze. Between 2005-12, emissions have been reduced by 50 percent. The installation of a scrubber at Huntington Plant made a significant reduction. PacifiCorp has made significant efforts to reduce emissions. In our existing coal plants emissions have been reduced. The States come up with regulations which are approved by the EPA. Currently, they are not accepting any of the states regulations. Our worst days last year were caused by fires. Low nox burners have been installed on all but Hunter I and that will be installed in 2014. The cost is $10-19 million. All these costs are being stacked on coal. PacifiCorp's main goal is to provide reliable energy at reasonable cost. You would expect as technology gets better that costs would lower, but that's not happening. How do you encourage utilities to get away from coal? Make it more expensive to produce."
All new gas units have been put in with all the catalytic specifications in place. Naughton 3 in Wyoming needs a bag house which isn't cost effective so that plant will be converted to natural gas.
Nox controls for Utah's BART units are still under review. Hunter and Huntington plants are targets. EPA is pushing the state to acquire aggressive Nox controls. The state plan has required the installation of low Nox2 burners.
The EPA has not defined a baseline for pollutants. Everything but steam is listed as a pollutant.
Laren Huntsman, from Hunter Plant commented on one of the slides in the slide show. He said the graph that showed zero pollutants by 2040 indicates that all the coal fired plants will be shut down.
Susan White from DOGM asked how long the Carbon Plant would have kept operating if these new regulations hadn't come into effect. Lawson indicated the power plant would have kept operating.
Any changes at the power plants must be permitted and must meet new standards. The future of coal fire power plants is so uncertain no one is investing in coal fired power plants at this time. It was mentioned that one of the IPP units is also going to convert to natural gas. One question raised is will coal be dead in the near future.
Lawson said one of his greatest concerns is that people are not aware of what's going on with all the new regulations. It may take five or six years for everything to go into effect and by then it may be too late. People need to speak out now against the war on coal and the coal mining industry. If something isn't done to defend coal right away, the industry will be gone and the cost of power will increase dramatically.
In California, regulations prevent any power from coming into the state that is coal power plant produced. This not only limits their options, but drives up the cost of power for industries and households within the state. It also leaves Utah out of the loop in sending power to California. One bright spot might be that other countries want the coal produced in Utah. A problem with this is getting a port to ship the coal overseas.
Other states are taking the same approach to coal as California. As power plants convert to natural gas, this will drive up the cost of natural gas.
White asked if a brand new coal fired power plant were to be built today, could all the environmental regulations be met. Lawson said everything could be met but the carbon dioxide.
If you go to EPA.gov their main focus is on greenhouse gases.
Lawson was asked about nuclear power, he replied the problem with nuclear power is it's a 17 year process through a lot of regulations and a lot of uncertainty.
Lawson was asked about climate change. He said he has his own personal opinions about climate change, but he believes climate change has been occurring for a very long time.
The question was asked isn't it better to use the resources we have now and rebuild as needed because the transmission lines and facilities are in place.
Lawson said, yes, it's a challenge to get new transmission lines in place and the EPA is not properly considering costs with transmission for renewables.
The EPA Regulations impacting coal-fired Units include, regional haze, Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, National Ambient Air Quality Standards, One-hour Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Standard, One-hour Nitrogen Dioxide Standard (NO2) Standard, Particulate Matter less than 2.5 Microns (PM2.5) and Ozone Standard.
The Regional Haze Rules were developed as a long-term program to achieve natural visibility conditions in specific national parks and wilderness areas by 2064. Pollutants impacted include SO2 NOX and Particulate Matter. The Regional Haze Rules are not a health-based standard. The Program is broken into 10-year planning periods.
Initial planning period focuses on application of Best Available Retrofit Technologies (BART) to control sources of haze-causing emissions from units constructed between 1962 and 1977. This includes power plants, smelters, etc.
Coal Combustion Residual Regulations Impact the disposal of fly ash and bottom ash.
Water Effluent Limit Guidelines Impact the disposal of waste water. 316 (b) Regulations Impacts water intake structures to make sure there is no damage to fish at the intake structure.
From 2005-2012, Implementation of the States' plans has reduced PacifiCorp's Utah, Wyoming and Arizona SO2 and NOX emissions by 50 percent. The EPA new regulations are stricter than the States plans. The EPA requires all states to have a plan of their own to address environmental quality issues.
Regional Haze - Changes in Interpretation Key Remaining Period I issue is defining BART NOX controls. With respect to NOX controls, EPA's 2005 Guidelines stated that most coal units would meet BART NOX requirements through the use of current combustion control technology, i.e. the careful control of combustion air and low-NOX burners.
EPA's 2013 plan for PacifiCorp's 10 BART Units in Wyoming requires 8 SCR and 2 SNCR. This adds hundreds of millions of dollars in additional capital costs and operating expenses.
To deal with Regional Haze Impacts, PacifiCorp in Wyoming will convert one coal unit to natural gas. Potentially five other coal units will be converted to gas or retired. The amount of money it would take to bring these other units up to standard is cost prohibitive.
In Utah, the NOX controls for Utah's BART Units are still under review. EPA is pushing the state to require aggressive NOX controls (SCR). The state plan has required the installation of Low NOX burners.
The Final rule was released on December 21, 2011 and the compliance deadline is April 16, 2015.
This Rule requires Reductions in Mercury Emissions Reductions in Hazardous non-mercury metals and Reduction in Acid Gases. It requires significant increases in monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
To meet the MATS requirements in Utah the Carbon Plant will be retired in April 2015. Expenses would be too prohibitive to bring the Carbon Plant into compliance. Good news is the Hunter and Huntington units will meet the emission limits with existing equipment.
In Wyoming, the Naughton Unit 3 will reduce maximum output until converted to natural gas. All units will install mercury controls.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards(NAAQS) One-hour NO2 standard final in January 2010, compliance by 2017. One-hour SO2 standard final in June 2010; state implementation plans to address non-attainment areas due by early 2014, with compliance deadline no later than August 2017. Fine particulate (PM2.5) standard - SIP Due to EPA.
Ozone standard - expect proposal in December 2013 and final standard by September 2014
Greenhouse Gas Regulation-Greenhouse gas New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for new fossil-fueled electric generating units proposed in April 2012 at a level of 1,000 lbs CO2/MWh; to be re-proposed in September 2013 pursuant to President Obama's Climate Action Plan unveiled on June 25, 2013. EPA to publish a new proposed rule regulating CO2 emissions from new power plants by September 20, 2013, and to finalize the rule in a "timely fashion."
The EPA will publish a new proposed rule regulating CO2 emissions from existing power plants by June 2014, and to finalize the rule by June 2015. The final rule for existing sources is to include a requirement that states submit implementation plans to the EPA no later than June 30, 2016. The re-proposed greenhouse gas NSPS for new sources will set the stage for legal reviews and legal action against the proposed rule.
Coal Combustion Residuals Rule proposed by EPA in 2010. EPA action on public comments not expected until 2014. Fleet wide proxy Subtitle D CCR compliance projects are incorporated into system planning, pending final rulemaking.
Effluent Guidelines-Rule proposed by EPA in 2013. Final rule to be issued by May 2014. No proxy compliance projects incorporated into current system planning.
Clean Water Act §316(b) Rule proposed by EPA in 2011. Final rule to be issued by June 2013.
Fleet wide proxy Clean Water Act §316(b) intake compliance projects are incorporated into system planning, pending final rulemaking.
Other environmental regulations include ash storage and water discharge.

Chapter 11
Jesus rides into Jerusalem amid shouts of hosanna—He curses a fig tree, drives the money changers from the temple, and confounds the scribes on the matter of authority.
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna;
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 ¶And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 ¶And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 ¶And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye

26 But if ye do not
27 ¶And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

The first of the 17-year cicadas have emerged from their underground lairs and, after shedding their skins and some brief flying lessons, they're checking their portfolios. There are about 1 million cicadas per 2.5 acres, and their buzzing can be translated, roughly, as "wait … what?"
Back when they were born, in 1996, their parents told them to invest in stocks, which had earned an average annual return of 10.7% since 1926, according to Ibbotson & Associates. And, in fact, that seemed cautious: The parents of the current Brood II cicadas earned 15.9% a year on their investments in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, and 13.7% annually on the Nasdaq 100 index.
Brood II's parents were just magicicada magicians when it came to money. They earned 10.9% a year on their 10-year Treasury notes, and 7.7% from their ultrasafe three-month T-bills. Naturally, they wisely reinvested dividends and interest.
The current crop, however, weren't nearly as lucky. Their 17-year average annual returns:
• Nasdaq 100: 6.2%
• 10-year Treasury notes: 8.5%
• Three-month T-bill: 2.7%
Fortunately for Brood II, their retirement is just a few weeks. And they experienced a bit less inflation over their 17 years than their parents did. Inflation has averaged 2.4% a year for the past 17 years, vs. 4.8% for 1979-1996.
CICADAS: This year's brood of 17-year cicadas will affect states stretching from North Carolina to New York
So, what can we learn from the investing fortunes of our periodic visitors? The first is that many investors base their expected returns on the long-term average, or mean, returns from an asset class — the kind that Ibbotson produces every year. According to theory, above-average returns eventually revert to the mean.
The problem, as our insect friends have discovered, is that it can take a very long time for averages to revert to the mean. As it happens, the current brood of cicadas has been investing for about as long as parents of near-college-age students have been investing — and, by and large, both parents and children are probably feeling a bit cheated, especially given the long-term averages and soaring college costs.
The other problem, of course, is that there's no law saying that returns must return to the mean. If there were Japanese 17-year cicadas, for example, they would have a much different view on the cyclical nature of investing.
The mean also varies according to where you begin and end. As you might suspect, the mean return from stocks has been slowly slipping every year the current brood of cicadas has been underground. The mean return from the S&P 500 has fallen to 10% from 1926 to 2013, vs. 10.7% from 1926 to 1996, according to Ibbotson.

Even more important for investors is the powerful effect on psychology that would affect how one brood made investment choices, says Barry Glassman, a McLean, Va., financial planner. For example, the parents of the current brood would have made darn good money in the stock market. If they had listened to their parents — the grandparents of the current brood — they would have treated stocks like the Orkin man.
The brood that emerged in 1979 would have witnessed one of the worst markets in history, Glassman says. The S&P 500 with reinvested dividends gained just 6.5% a year during Grandma and Grandpa Cicada's life span. Inflation averaged 5.1%. Grandma and Grandpa would probably have pointed their children toward Treasury bonds, which yielded 9.3% in May 1979, or even Treasury bills, which averaged 10% that year.
So perhaps the biggest lesson long-term investors can learn from our 17-year visitors is this: You really don't know what will happen so far in the future, no matter what the long-term averages tell you. Your best defense, Glassman says, is a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, money funds and commodities. If you can lift your head out of the ground every so often and rebalance your portfolio, all the better.

A decision in the summer of 1927 made history, and established a hub for country music. Ralph Peer, talent scout and producer for the Victor Talking Machine Company saw the potential in Bristol, Tennessee, as a home for country music. Auditions were held, and a roadmap for greatness was underway. Artists such as the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers and the Stoneman Family recorded in a makeshift studio on State Street in downtown Bristol's Taylor-Christian Hat Company. Nineteen artists recorded 76 songs in this most significant of field recordings of early country music.
Those recordings, now known as the 1927 Bristol Sessions, distinguished Bristol as The Birthplace of Country Music. The Sessions are recognized internationally as "The Big Bang of Country Music." Songs from the Sessions have staying power: They still serve as influential tracks for both fans and artists. Of the recordings, Johnny Cash said, "These recordings in Bristol in 1927 are the single most important event in the history of country music." The recordings led Congress, in 1998, to recognize Bristol as the official Birthplace of Country Music.
The Birthplace of Country Music Museum, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution, tells a story of musical heritage""from the Bristol Sessions to today. The East Tennessee region continues to influence music around the world. The museum is home to 12,000 square feet of exhibit space and features a rotating exhibit gallery, music mixing and listening stations. Visitors can also appreciate multiple theater experiences and interactive, technology-rich media. Live year-round performances and educational programming make new converts and keep established fans entertained.
Hear traditional Appalachian music and performers from the region in weekly performances. Along with learning and listening in the museum, make plans for the award-winning Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion. More than a music festival, the event is a three-day music experience, chock-full of creative passion, electricity and soul.

About that "index premium" we've been covering — Shares in GPS gadget maker Garmin (GRMN) are ahead by 4.5% today after word that the company will join the S&P 500 (SPY) next week.
Trading in Garmin's shares is at a five-week high today at more than 1.9 million shares, FactSet Research Systems data show, and it's only 1.25 p.m. Look for volume to reach the highest since Aug. 1, when more than four million shares changed hands.
There's a transparency argument for why indexers — though not all of them — announce these moves ahead of time. As today's trading action shows, there's also a cost. Arbitrageurs and hot money pile in after the announcement and drive up the price irrespective of company fundamentals.
If you suspect that it matters for holders of broad-based index trackers like the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (SPY) or the iShares Core S&P 500 (IVV), a few studies suggest you're correct.

"Bills QB Fitzpatrick agrees to new deal"
Is Not Available At This Time.
Source: Bills QB Fitzpatrick agrees to new deal
Please enter your comments below.
Am I missing something?
He hasn't proven or won anything yet but make him very,very rich. Something is wrong with this, where else but sports can you be rewarded for mediocrity? We do not want to overpay cops, fireman,soldiers or teachers but athletes no problem!! Sure he deserves a nice raise but let's get real. Bottom line is we still need a QB if we are to compete with the best...These sports contracts are way out of hand, they should put a cap on them just like they do for rookies. Take it or leave it!! I have a feeling the Bill's paying to much for what they will be getting, oh well..So everyone encourage your children to become pro athletes, the bar is not set that high but the pay is!!!
Heres what your missing..
Until this year Buffalo has not had an offensive line..A great offensive line will make an average player perform great. If our O line remains healthy, we will win many games.

|In response to Re: chronic pressure relief value problem
: I'm in a three year old house that originally had an electric hot water heater. The pressure relief valve would let loose every four months or so - When we finally realized where the water in the basement was coming from, we were in the process of switching to a gas water heater (late last year). The new water heater is playing the same game. Could I be experiencing high line pressure from the county? Or am I just lucky enough to have recieved two defective relief valves. I am considering a PRV and /or new relief valve. BTW, when it blew tonight, the relief valve would resume discharging cold water at full flow a few moments after turning the water back on. Does anybody have some wisdom to share on this? Thanks in advance.

You may love 'em. You may hate 'em. But chances are, you aren't sitting on the fence when it comes to these controversial cars models from the last decade that either draw cheers or jeers.
Our friends at Cars.com compiled the 10 "most polarizing" list, leading with one model that we couldn't agree more as meeting the qualifications. It's the Nissan Juke, which always looked like a billy goat to us. Now that's not necessarily bad, especially if you like goats.
From there, things get dicier. Toyota Prius made the list, but who doesn't like the gas-saving Prius? We always thought if it hadn't been a hybrid, it would have received some of the same snide remarks about its looks that went to the Pontiac Aztek. The long-gone Hummer is also on the list, but mostly, we suspect, because people hated its image -- not so much the way it looked.
Some "most polarizing" made the list because they apparently attempt to blend categories. Honda Ridgeline is somewhere between a truck and a car, but mostly a truck. BMW X6 and Honda Crosstour are both bulbous car-crossovers.
And the BMW 7 Series from 2002 to 2008 was hated for the bulge on top of its trunk, the so-called "Bangle Butt," so named for designer Chris Bangle who came up with it. And what happened as a result? Nearly every brand copied it, despite the love-it-or-hate-it thing going on.
Just goes to show: It may be controversial today -- and loved tomorrow.
Here they are:
1. Nissan Juke, 2011-Present
2. Entire Hummer Lineup, 1998-2009
3. Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2001-2010
4. Toyota Prius, 1997-Present
5. Ford Flex, 2009-Present
6. BMW X6, 2009-Present
7. Jeep Cherokee, Coming 2014
8. Honda Ridgeline, 2006-2014
9. Honda Crosstour, 2010-Present
10. BMW 7 Series, 2002-2008
