Christ, but I'm glad I left Michigan.
Widows and orphans are unpopular in Michigan? "Why, I'm against 'em too!"
i though it was "commander in chief"... oh, that just makes it funnier.
Trust me. I've sent this photo to lots of Michiganders, and it leaves us scratching our heads. At first I thought they were being ironic. Or something. But now I think they just haven't mastered the English language. I now have a headache.
First of all, it's commander in chief not commander and chief.
I think they might be trying to say something anti-war, maybe they don't want troops getting killed, leaving their families behind.
We support the Commander. And Chief, we're against widows and orphans.
/got nuthin'
i'm from michigan but i don't that helps understand it. one thing i can tell you - if this picture was taken in jackson, they're *definitely* not being ironic.
i'm thinking the widows and orphans thing is a reference to teh troopz; specifically, they do not want them to die.
so... they support the war [by way of the "commander and chief"] AND the troops at the same time. maybe?
don't *think* that helps understand it.
It's a demand for better typesetting.
There's a reason why half of Michigan has left this century.
And I can't say I miss living on Grosse Isle, MI ...
Okay, here's my theory: there was some anti-war group in town marching that had a name like "Widows and Orphans Against the War". The ice cream shop owner is trying, in his amusingly illiterate way, to express solidarity with the president by noting his disapproval of said group.
(I'm from Ann Arbor, next major city over from Jackson, FWIW... although the two cities have very little in common aside from geography.)
It seems obvious that it's a slam on Bush - e.g., if you support Bush, you hate widows and orphans. Yes, it's ironic. Come on.
I think it's a convoluted way of saying that they are against the creation of widows and orphans (by troops dying.)
So basically they're saying, "We support the president because we don't want the troops to die."
Widows and orphans hate ice cream. The commander in chief LOVES ice cream. Everybody outside Seattle knows this.
Or, maybe it's supposed to be snarky and sarcastic.
The Commander and Chief were against widows and orphans. But, now they are for widows and orphans, and we support that.
Get 'em on the phone and ask for a clarification. Isn't that why you have an intern?
Thank you conium...
My theory was instantly thus:
Bush claims to be a Christian. Maybe the biggest, most appealing thing about Christianity is the social justice called for at the end of the Old Testament and echoed by JC himself (big ups!): Care for the Widows, Orphans, and Aliens.
It's clear W doesn't give a shit about the 'Aliens' so it's assumed Widows and Orphans don't register in his priorities either.
So, to summarize, support of W is like joining a hate club against W, O and A's.
Join up, Christians!!
Bingo #18
So, does this joint sell "French - er, FREEDOM Vanilla"?
They try hard here in Michigan. I'll bet Kelly O has no clue (anymore) what this is all about! But, maybe - her brother said she has to stop and photograph every damn msg. sign from Alpena to Detroit (about 230 miles). He won't pick her up at Detroit anymore.
hey, Jackson rocks! don't be knocking it. you should have also gotten a photo of the "do not pick up hitchhikers" sign next to the state prison.
Jolly Pirate Donuts ftw!
@18 - I read it that way as well.
Book of James, 1:27 - True Religion is to care for widows and orphans and to keep oneself from the world.
Basically, saying that supporting Bush isn't necessarily Christian.
it seems to be a anti-war message. the trick has always been how to seem patriotic when making an anti-war statement. so you say something to cover both sides:
"i support the troops, but i am against the war."
I read it as total sarcasm.
Kinda funny, actually.
i agree with gurldoggie @17. get the manager on the phone, stat. we need answers, dammit!
Sarcasm? In Jackson, Michigan? Not likely.
Another Michigander here who is as confused as the rest of you. (Though I also reside in the People's Republic of Ann Arbor, which isn't really in Michigan.)
I demand you send a Stranger reporter to Michigan to cover this story!
this is like seattle people making fun of tacoma people. elitism is the same world over.
Maybe some trampy teenagers got up there and messed with their sign in the dead of night. I would have found that amusing as a teenager. Even more amusing if it spawned a time-wasting debate on irony vs. bad English.
Okay. I live in the PRAA, too. But I'm not making fun of Jackson. In Ann Arbor we just had the anti-development jihadists threaten violence against new apartment buildings. No joke. So we can't really throw stones. Our crazy is just a different kind of crazy.
At any rate, my friend who took the photo thinks that these folks are Bush supporters who think Bush will keep us safe, thereby keeping innocents from being killed and stopping the needless creation of orphans and widows. I think I'm more in line with 18. And another friend thinks this sign was created under the influence of brain freeze.
Hey, check out the rainbow colored arrow next to the words "DRIVE THRU", and the phallic looking treat on top. Why, that ice cream isn't soft at all!
Maybe they're referring to "widows and orphans" from the 9/11 attacks. This would be a typical hair-brained right wing argument.
@30: Congratulations, and why did it take so long to get the right answer? Rearranging the letters on readerboard signs is a classic teenage prank. By the way, this is a big damn signpost, even if you're climbing on top of a big SUV or van. I suspect the prankster was armed with one of those long poles with an attachment designed specifically to install letters on a readerboard.
I think it is refering to money for our troops. I think it is trying to say if you don't fund the war you are killing the troops.
All I'm saying is, if A Daily Show can send a reporter to Iceland, the Stranger can send a report to Greenland, MI and find out.
Jackson is the birthplace of TED NUGENT. *Now* do you get it?
Hell, The Stranger doesn't even cover the "WAKE UP AMERICA!" vet-for-Kerry scrapyard sign updates off Westlake Ave!
I took this photo over two years ago (Nov. '05), but here's a prime example of the anti-Bush Vet sign off Westlake Ave.:
@11 Well,well Mr. Scarborough; we meet again. Long time since the class of 88' isn't it?
Using the visual information in the posted photo, I determined that the business is Amanati's Frosty Boy.
The first time I called the place a gruff guy answered with a "Hello?" He apparently couldn't hear me and he hung up.
A few minutes later, after verifying that it's the right number, I called back. The business is probably closed during the winter months, so I was prepared for another "Hello?" And indeed he answered with another gruff "Hello?" I asked if this was Frosty Boy and he asked who I was. I gave him my name and told him I wanted to find out the meaning the sign.
I mentioned the "Commander and chief" part and he blurted out "You don't know who the commander in chief is?!" I said I did but that I wasn't sure about the wodows and orphans part. He mumbled something like "you don't get that?!" and then he hung up on me. I did not call back.
Others are, I suppose, free to call him and find out the meaning of the sign. The number is listed on the site linked to above. But be aware you might get a gruff guy who is possibly sitting in his house instead of working in his business.
Also, it's a chilly 18F in Jackson presently.
heh, Red never died. He just moved to Michigan to open an ice cream shop.
"Your FATHA's is in ya, is in yr mutha's arsehole, you fuckin' bum"
meaning's clear as day:
The freedom to hate widows and orphans is one of the things that makes America great.
It's not missing an apostrophe. "We support the commander and chief" "Were against widows and orphans"
Meaning that they were but no longer are against widows and orphans. Seems pretty straight forward.
I agree with elenchos that the Iced Cream parlor demands superior typesetting. I wonder what the owner thinks of kerning and comic sans, too?
While the soft-serve ice cream industry is not known for its thoughtfulness or its incisive writing, I can imagine three potential meanings:
1. Straight: We support Bush though we hope there will be no more widows and orphans who have to suffer.
2. Ironic: We [certainly] support [our brilliant, Christian] commander [in] chief [because we delight in the sorrows of] widows and orphans.
3. Political: We support [Bush] and we're opposed to the widows and orphans [campaigning against the war, in the form of the Michigan chapter of Military Families Against the War http://www.mfsomichigan.org/].
Ice cream induced brain freeze was a good suggestion too.
There are actually TWO gramatical errors in the message: The President is the "Commander IN Chief" [not "and"], I'm surprised the ever-vigilant Dan didn't catch that...
I'm the least sympathetic person I know but give the guy a break.
I live down the street from the place and the guy is a friendly, older man who often talks and posts messages on his sign without a lot of thought.
I think he is trying to say 1, That he supports the president.
2, That he doesn't want soldiers to be killed and leave widows and orphans behind.
Obviously 2 does not folllow a very logical path from 1. But if I wanted to, I'm sure I could shoot holes in the grammar and logic of most of the people posted above.
He makes great ice cream by the way. The old fashioned, labor-intensive way. Get yourself a cone and chillax.

Teena Fine is the main event in this title. She takes on nine dudes in an aggressive gangbang that turns this petite blonde cutie into a tousled, sweaty, cock-hungry animal. The dudes surround her and take turns banging all three of her inputs. They take turns d.p.ing her as well. In the end, the guys all pop into a champagne glass, Teena pours the man batter into her mouth and gargles before swallowing it all down.
Nadia Styles gets it from four dudes who surround her, dick slap her face, throat bang her and deposit four loads into her mouth. She gargles as well.
In the final scene, Staci Thorn gets d.p.'d - though a third gangbang would have seemed more appropriate.

13 Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Products
From creams to serums and powders, these are the anti-aging skin care products our readers say are so worth the investment
Why it's great: "Without a doubt this product erased years off my face in a relatively short time," raves one reader. Others convinced of its anti-aging abilities say once you get past the initial flaking it causes, you'll be left with smooth skin and an even complexion. Since retinol can make skin very sensitive, readers emphasize that wearing extra sunscreen is necessary.

I just picked up another 5670 as you may have noticed in my previous questions. The question is, I have only one PCI-e power connector cable and the other 5670 is using it. If I plug in the other 5670 right now without the power connector, would there be any hardware damage?(no, a molex to power convertor didn't come out of the box.)
The additional PCIe power input is there for a reason, and your GPU probably won't function unless it is connected to your PSU. As soon as you turn it on, you will probably hear an audible beep from the GPU, and notice the PC fail to boot. The motherboard will not compensate by providing double the power through its bus.
A PCI Express x16 slot provides 75W from the motherboard- so this is the most power your GPU can receive until you connect it to the PCIe power connector.
6-pin PCIe power connectors add 75W in addition to the 75W the GPU is getting directly from the motherboard.
Personally, I would be worried about causing damage to the motherboard by trying to draw too much power from it (whether or not that is a valid concern I'm not sure- but I wouldn't risk it).
When it's so cheap to buy an adapter, why cut corners?
It works for now but I'll be sure to pick up one of these molex-to-pci convertors ASAP. Thanks for your help!

"Europe's Third Largest Metropolis" Madrid by gilescorey
Madrid Travel Guide: 5,384 reviews and 10,937 photos
I first heard the above statement in reference to New York and it's seemingly endless blocks of scaffolding. But, it certainly pertains to the bustling, war zone that Madrid has become. Most of the "projects" were preemptive efforts to win the Olympic bid which went to Rio. And, the city is indeed a torn up headache, at present.
While there, the morning news had a correspondent dressed in WWII-era fatigues, helmet and all, leaping over sand piles among sound effects and commanding passing Madrile�os to "get down, get down"!!!
A hilarious, satirical commentary.
But, construction and reconstruction aside, Madrid is a great city. It has the imperialistic architecture and broad boulevards of an Iberian Paris, the sun-baked alleys of a North African ghetto, and the requisite overly-aggressive prostitutes that make Spanish cities so colorful.
Madrid is big, bustling, broad, brutish and hard to define. Barcelonans claim Madrid has an inferiority complex to their port city, but if so, I didn't see it. In fact, I am a Barcelonan, now - and our gorgeous Gothic city is losing it's progressive edge to the Capital - and I'm not the first to say it.
Madrid is a "hot" Euro capital. No doubt about it. But, the city still retains much of it's gritty past. Parts of the central city look downright 70's - like a handheld, grainy Cassavetes film rattling out of an old theatre. In the well-trodden, tourist-filled world of Western Europe, it's refreshing and fascinating, giving the passerby a glimpse into a recent past that is quickly being buried.
- Pros:progressive, energetic, diverse, great restaurants
- Cons:non-stop construction, HOT summers, Barajas Airport
- In a nutshell:A world city on the rise. Difficult to grasp, but worth the effort

text: "Can This Simple Drink Help Reduce Your Daily Stress?*" It's sweet, spicy, rich in antioxidants, and a cinch to prepare* You're continuously barraged by flashy health and wellness promises -- day in and day out. The claims you see on television, on the web, or in print ads -- the ones that seem too good to be true... You're barraged continuously by these claims -- day in and day out. Those flashy health and wellness promises you see on television, on the web, or in print ads -- the ones that seem too good to be true... and most of the time, they are. From miracle diet plans and wonder pills claiming to help you lose double-digit pounds in only days... To those sensational "aches and pains" remedies that promise you'll feel like a teenager again in just 15 minutes... And now scientists are working on a pill that allows you to skip exercising all together... yet gain the same benefits... Sound too good to be true? I'm sure there are many more claims like these you've heard as well. So you can understand why I was somewhat skeptical when I learned about an ancient sacred herb that supposedly: Helps support your respiratory system health* Gives you antioxidant protection against free radicals* Provides you with a calming effect and relief from occasional stress* Helps support your immune system* Balances the health of your digestive system* Helps you maintain blood sugar levels already in the normal range* And more... Pretty astounding... Yet to me, it seemed too good to be true. However, over time spent studying this amazing Tulsi herb, I became thoroughly intrigued by its extraordinary health benefits.* Benefits backed up by scientific research. So I'd like to share with you more of what I uncovered about... Tulsi -- Nature's Gift to YOU* When I first discovered facts about the Tulsi herb, I had a challenging time believing all of the info about its far-reaching benefits. Never before had I uncovered such a single, little-known herb with such wide-ranging health benefits.* I began to really dig deeper when I discovered Tulsi health and wellness applications dating back thousands of years in India.* I really felt there must be something compelling behind all this. And what I discovered is that scientists from around the world (and particularly in India) have been busy researching the Tulsi herb -- and providing strong evidence of its value.* One challenge the scientific community faces when studying herbs is that herbs tend to provide the greatest health benefits over prolonged periods of time.* They are not the "quick-fix" touted by many other health-related products. But before we dive into more details on the incredible benefits, let's take a trip far back in time to better understand... How This Ancient Herb Became Part of India's Spiritual and Wellness Culture Tulsi -- Nature's Gift to YOU In India, the Tulsi herb has been widely known for its health-promoting properties -- for body, mind, and spirit for over 5000 years. Commonly called "sacred" or "holy basil," Tulsi is a principle herb of Ayurveda, India's ancient holistic health system. Ayurveda means "knowledge of life" -- with herbs lying at the very heart of Ayurvedic practice. Ayurvedic knowledge grew out of the wisdom of ancient rishis (sages) and yogis of India, and initially passed by word of mouth. Apparently, this tradition continued for many generations until the earliest known written texts around 5000 BC. The Rigveda became the first documented scientific record of Ayurveda. Rig means "in verses" and veda means "book of infinite knowledge." Herbs like Tulsi are at the heart of India's holistic health system. The Rigveda emphasized the importance of herbs for optimal health and well-being. The ancient rishis ensured the integration of Tulsi into daily life by incorporating it into religious rituals. In this way, people at all levels of Indian society routinely consumed Tulsi for health benefits during worship in their temples and homes.* Today, Indians worship Tulsi as a sacred plant. It is a part of Indian households, typically grown in earthen pots in the family home or garden. You already know about many of this herb's amazing health benefits,* but here's one I feel needs additional emphasis... How Tulsi Can Help You Stay Calm and Relaxed* Certain herbs have been discovered to induce resistance to stress called: State of Non-specific Increased Resistance (SNIR)*. Agents that improve the capability of an organism to adapt to stressors are called adaptogens. According to Dr. Narendra Singh, an adaptogen must fulfill three requirements. It must: Be innocuous in nature Promote normal physiological functions of your body Induce a SNIR in the human organism, so the body copes better with occasional stress And of all the herbs Dr. Singh researched, Tulsi ended up being one of the best adaptogens.* So what does this mean to you? It simply means Tulsi can help support your system against stress... helping you to relax and stay calm in today's frantic world.* And this is only one of the many Tulsi benefits you can take advantage of with the Original Tulsi Tea Mix and products. But why hasn't this herb been better known until now? India's Organic Movement -- What Happened and Why? Just like the rest of the world, but perhaps more so in India, farming methods swayed under constant pressure from corporations for higher and quicker profits. Farming areas of northern India ended up in very bad shape. Soil depletion from over-farming and the use of fertilizers and pesticides was widespread. Many farmers were unable to cultivate their land anymore. Tulsi field in Azamgarth, India, where the organic movement began. In 1997, a movement began to take place in northern India that would change the face of farming in the region. A group of people convinced of the value of organic farming and processing began working with local farmers to help solve the over-farming issue. At first the local farmers were skeptical -- having already gone down the wrong path with large corporations. However one small farmer, Kailash Singh, in the small northern Indian village of Azamgarth, decided to take a chance on his small 3-acre farm and go organic. He started the first organic Tulsi farm. With time, more local farmers joined Singh, eventually expanding the Tulsi organic process to over 10,000 acres. So, it's no wonder Indian culture considers Tulsi at the heart of the organic movement. And now, you can take advantage of all Tulsi has to offer with Original Tulsi Tea Mix, 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules (made with 100% organic ingredients). I'm sure by now you're familiar with the powerful benefits provided to you by antioxidants.* Well, Original Tulsi Tea Mix,100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract and Holy Basil Capsules are no exception. Here's... How Tulsi Delivers You Powerful Antioxidant Nutrients* Antioxidants are important nutrients, as they help you slow down the excess oxidation process and protect your cells from free radicals.* When free radicals attack your cells, excess oxidation can occur, which potentially damages your cells. Antioxidants help counteract this process -- and Tulsi is rich in antioxidants.* Yours today -- superior organic Tulsi, all because of this type of extensive training that ORGANIC INDIA's farmers receive. Discover more here... If you recall, I've mentioned often how antioxidants are your body's #1 way to neutralize free radicals -- those harmful metabolic byproducts that can damage cells and tissues throughout your body. Scientific evidence repeatedly demonstrates antioxidants are key nutrients in helping YOU. Although many foods you eat contain antioxidants, today's poor diets likely don't provide you with the free radical scavengers you need. I firmly believe the Tulsi herb found in Original Tulsi Tea Mix, 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules can help you maintain the antioxidant nutrients you need. However, I suspect you need a few more details, and might be wondering... How Can Tulsi Offer So Many Health Benefits?* Over time, scientists learned that Tulsi's unique chemistry is highly complex. The Tulsi herb contains hundreds of beneficial compounds known as phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are non-nutritive plant compounds containing health-supporting properties.* Working together, these compounds possess potential antioxidant, adaptogenic, and immune-supporting properties that can help support your general health.* The essential oils in Tulsi leaves are a particularly rich source of these phytochemicals. To give you even more of a flavor for Tulsi herb applications, here's a table showing potential uses of Tulsi within Ayurveda, India's holistic health system. Ayurvedic preparation Application for: Ayurpanas Respiratory system and normal body temperature support* Cwasahara Respiratory system health promotion* Surasa Appetite support* Mahajwarankuca Rasa Normal body temperature support* Jwarakunjana -- parindra Rasa Stamina promotion and respiratory support* Bhallataka Lauha Digestive system support, loss of appetite, and stamina* Bhaktavipaka Bati Elimination system promotion* Dakamuladya Ghrita Respiratory system support* Lauha Parppati Maintaining blood sugar/pressure levels already within the normal range* Vrihat Yogaraja Guggulu Skeletal and joint system maintenance* Saurecwara Ghrita Maintaining a normal digestive and elimination system* Rasacekhara Cwitrapanchanana and Durlabha Rasa Promoting healthy skin* Mahanila oil Healthy hair* Vakuladya oil Dental hygiene support* Maktadi Mahanjana Healthy vision promotion* Kumara Kalyana Ghrita Dental hygiene promotion in children* Table adapted from Tulsi, by Dr. Narendra Singh So even though you may not live in India, you can see how Tulsi preparations potentially benefit Indian health and wellness.* And you can see why I'm happy to offer you Original Tulsi Tea Mix, 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules... I believe it's an excellent herb to help you take control of your health.* Yet, just like any product or service available on my website, there must be a solid quality-driven manufacturer behind what I offer. Well, Original Tulsi Tea Mix. 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules pass my stringent manufacturer selection process hands down. Here's... Why This Certified Organic Tulsi Producer Stands a Breed Apart What qualities made our producer of Tulsi win the "2005 Socially Responsible Business Practices Award" -- and become a global leader of such high-quality organic products? Find out now... The key to delivering organic Tulsi rests in the manufacturer's commitment to quality and excellence. The manufacturer of Original Tulsi Tea Mix. 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules achieves the highest quality organic Tulsi by: Helping preserve and enrich the environment -- As a result, this manufacturer received exclusive rights to harvest certified organic crops from central and northern India. Respecting the farmers --By honoring the well-being and dignity of local farmers, a win-win scenario continues to evolve for everyone involved in Tulsi harvesting. Committing to holistic quality and environmentally responsible business practices-- From preservation of seed and enrichment of soil... through cultivation, harvesting, manufacturing, and packaging, all phases of the production cycle reflect the quality commitment. Educating growers and farmers-- All organic farmers are trained and educated in all aspects of sustainable organic farming methods. A 3rd party international agency certifies farmers as "certified organic." Adhering to and setting new standards of certification-- The manufacturer of Original Tulsi Tea Mix, 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules seriously commits to following the highest quality standards for producing organic products. This manufacturer is among the few herbal companies in India to receive the following certifications: Tulsi field in Azamgarth, India, where the organic movement began. SQF -- Safe Quality Food HACCP -- Hazards and Critical Control Points OU Kosher -- Certifies compliance for Kosher observers and followers Organic certifications from: Skal International, Ecocert International, USDA, EU, and NSOP (India) So, you should have a pretty clear picture as to why I chose this manufacturer to provide the Original Tulsi Tea Mix, 100% Organic Tulsi Tea Extract, and Holy Basil Capsules products. In my opinion, they clearly stand a breed apart in organic Tulsi production. I have to admit I'm as surprised as you are with all the extraordinary health benefits of Tulsi.* But believe me, this is one of those times where something that seems too good to be true... really is good for you.

Shiny Things by Orin Drake | Shiny Things Gallery | Fandom | Final Fantasy | Chocobos
So. Many. Chocobos. And all shiny.
CocoJan 21, 2012 12:57
Likes: plums, Miami Vice, dance music
Dislikes: polo shirts, cabana boys
Coco's a big chocobo. Just kinda turned out that way. Like with the rose quartz eyes. And why "Coco"? Why not "Coco"?
CobaltJan 21, 2012 12:57
And finally Onyx has her little brother... who isn't going to be "little" for much longer. That growth spurt is just around the corner.
So yes, another adolescent chocobo! Obviously there was a bit of a redesign between Onyx and Cobalt.
ClancyJan 21, 2012 12:57
Likes: crackers, diving from high up into deep water, staring contests
Dislikes: cicadas, when all of the leaves have fallen off the trees
His eyes are a lot more vibrant green, but adjusting their color made the blue a bit too vibrant. Therefore I declare laziness.
Chocobo Chicks, third waveJan 21, 2012 12:57
Okay, by now they all look adorably hungry.
Chocobo Chicks, second waveJan 21, 2012 12:56
Slightly more refined... and slightly more hungry...
Chocobo Chicks, first waveJan 21, 2012 12:56
My first made-to-sell batch of just-hatched chocobo chicks! ...And they all still look hungry...
ChaunceyJan 21, 2012 12:56
Chauncey's a shy fellow who seems to prefer quiet activities like puzzles. (You don't think chocobos can like puzzles? Shows what you know.)
The product of ten full days of work. There was a moment of panic when the yarn I'd been using for his legs and feet disappeared without a trace and seems to have been discontinued and sold out everywhere, so... I tried another kind for the beak. It actually worked better than expected, plus forced a slightly new method for the toes. Well, different is good.
Another giant chocobo, this guy sits at just short of 18 inches in height to the very top of his crest (while sitting, as he doesn't stand), 10 inches from chest to tail, and 9 inches at his widest point. 10 days. Sheesh.
Cecil and Jean-LucJan 21, 2012 12:56
Cecil (left) is spunky, energetic, and all-around the kind of chocobo you'd want at your side. Until you find out that he will do anything for a tuna sandwich. Long story.
Jean-Luc (right) tends to be, maybe... a little over-serious. It's not that he can't lighten up, it's that it takes time. Or someone falling down, that'll do it.

Toyota, Honda Lose U.S. Edge
For the past three decades, Japanese auto makers Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. HMC 0.26 % have experienced almost uninterrupted success in the U.S., their market share rising as they built plants, expanded their model lines and were held up, usually in tandem, as the industry's benchmarks for quality.
Now, as a result of Toyota's recall crisis earlier this year and the narrowing quality gap by rival auto makers, their long run in the driver's seat appears ready to come to an end.
Barring a surge in sales in the last two months of this year, both Honda and Toyota are likely to suffer drops in their U.S. market share. Through the first 10 months of 2010, Toyota's share is down 1.5 percentage points at 15.2%, according to Autodata Corp. So far this year, Honda's U.S. share is down six-tenths of a point at 10.6%.
The last time Toyota's and Honda's market shares failed to rise was 1998, when Toyota's was flat at 8.7% and Honda's fell just one-tenth of a point, to 6.4%, at the height of the sport- utility vehicle boom, before they resumed their march upward.
Larry Kull, a principal of an auto retailing group in Vineland, N.J., that owns stores selling vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai Motor Corp. and other manufacturers, said Toyota's recalls "obviously" had an impact on its sales.
But "there is no question that some people who would have considered [Toyota models] in the past may not have considered them at the same level," he said by telephone.
Privately, Toyota executives acknowledge they are concerned about Hyundai's fast rise. Hyundai's redesigned mid-sized sedan, the Sonata, has been stealing sales from the Toyota's Camry and Honda's Accord.
Both Toyota and Honda are hoping to generate some much-needed buzz this week at the Los Angeles auto show. Toyota will unveil an electric version of its RAV4 small sport utility vehicle. It uses a battery pack and motor from Tesla Motors Inc., TSLA -0.22 % the California start-up that partnered with Toyota earlier this year. Honda will show off its first battery-powered car, as well. Both are due out in 2012—in time for new California zero-emission-vehicle mandates.
The electric vehicles reflect shifts that have taken place in the U.S. market. Only a few years ago, Toyota was the clear leader in advanced, fuel-saving technology with its Prius hybrid. Honda was seen as one of its only serious challengers in hybrids and had put out a hydrogen fuel cell electric car, the FCX Clarity.
Now both are behind in the currently hip battery-electric vehicles. Japan-based Nissan Motor Co.'s Leaf and Detroit-based General Motors Co.'s Chevrolet Volt will both beat Toyota and Honda to the market in the next month or so.
Across the hall at the Los Angeles show will be a more immediate threat. Hyundai, based in South Korea, will introduce a new Elantra compact car promising to get 40 per gallon—better than the 36 offered by Honda's Civic and the 34 of Toyota's Corolla. It also will be priced about $1,500 less.
In an interview, Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's quality chief in North America, said the company knows it faces a tougher market than in the past. "I don't think we will have the kind of growth we had in the past, but we are still going to grow," he said.
For one thing, Toyota's steady gains in market share in the past 20 years came as the company added models in new segments—sport utility vehicles, luxury cars under its Lexus brand and small cars under its Scion line. Now, few open segments are left for easy growth.
This year, Hyundai, Nissan and a revived Ford Motor Co. F 1.32 % have all increased their U.S. market share. Hyundai's went to 4.7% from 4.3%, Nissan's increased to 7.8% from 7.4% and Ford's rose to 16.7% from 15.2%.
In 2009, Toyota's share reached a record high of 17%. Then it recalled more than eight million vehicles world-wide to correct defects that could cause its vehicles to suddenly accelerate. It also briefly was required to stop making and selling several models in the U.S., and was further humbled when it was fined by U.S. safety regulators and its executives were called before Congress.
Quality had long been Toyota's top selling point, but the crisis gave consumers reasons to look elsewhere. And what some have found is that other auto makers are now only a half a step behind Toyota and Honda in quality, and in some areas are ahead. The most recent Consumer Reports survey found that while Toyota and Honda still ranked high among the most reliable vehicles, Hyundai and Ford were nearly equal.
In the family-car segment, the Ford Fusion beat sales leaders Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, and sales are up 21% this year, while sales of the Toyota and Honda are off.
Honda's stall out is partly the result of a lull in new model launches. Its redesigned Odyssey minivan is out now and sales are just ramping up. At the same time, it is struggling to sell the Crosstour wagon, which went on sale early this year, and the CR-Z, a hybrid sports car. Its Insight hybrid, released last year, hasn't sold as well as the company had hoped.

Profiled By The TSA? There's An App For That.
FlyRights is a smartphone app designed to provide a quick and easy way to report complaints of air travel harassment, profiling, and discrimination. Within the first ten hours of its launch, FlyRights had fielded two complaints of harassment and profiling. By contrast, the DHS's report to Congress on civil rights and civil liberties listed only 11 complaints in the first six months of 2011. FlyRights was designed by the Sikh Coalition, the nation's largest Sikh civil rights organization.
So much inconvenience for so little benefit at such a staggering cost.
"Since 9/11, the U.S. has spent more than $1.1 trillion on homeland security." To walk through an airport with Bruce Schneier is to see how much change a trillion dollars can wreak. So much inconvenience for so little benefit at such a staggering cost. And directed against a threat that, by any objective standard, is quite modest.
Department of Terror and Graft
"Without knowing what they ought to fear, US citizens might otherwise fail to support profitable national security initiatives." - Malcolm P. Stag III, Secretary of Fear [more inside]
Freedom of choice: Molestation or Radiation
Following a widely-reported incident in which TSA agents required a 95-year-old cancer patient to remove her adult diaper for inspection before being allowed to board her flight, TV pundit Keith Olbermann has designated TSA chief John Pistole the "Worst Person in the World" and called for his removal. In other news, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) says it has obtained evidence that "the Department of Homeland Security has failed to properly evaluate the level of risk from airport body scanners." Documents obtained by EPIC via the Freedom of Information Act reveal that "even after TSA employees identified cancer clusters possibly linked to radiation exposure, the agency failed to issue employees dosimeters - safety devices that could assess the level of radiation exposure." (News report with video: TSA workers fear radiation dangers from scanners.) EPIC says the documents also indicate that DHS "mischaracterized the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, stating that NIST 'affirmed the safety' of full body scanners.". In a private email response (PDF link), NIST stated that the institute had not tested the safety of the scanners. And yesterday the Texas legislature approved a watered-down version of its TSA "anti-groping" bill. The Idaho legislature is also considering an anti-TSA-groping bill. [more inside]
Does it start now?
"Better people than I have sacrificed more than their careers, their livelihood, for the cause of freedom. Americans need to wake up and stand up." Michael Roberts, a pilot for ExpressJet, refused to enter the millimeter wave machine. TSA called the police and sent him home. [more inside]
An Unclear Future
Clear, the "security service" that allowed travellers to bypass TSA security lines, offered a Father's Day discount if you purchased a one-year membership by June 21. On June 23, Clear ceased operations. Sorry, no refunds.
TSA busts myths, too!
Last week, a woman at DC's Reagan Airport was detained because of water in her son's sippy cup. In an unusual step, the TSA has posted their own Mythbusters site where they show the security footage and the official incident report. Here is BoingBoing's take on the video. And a security/security technology blogger posts about the larger lesson that people readily side against the TSA "because there's no accountability or transparency in the DHS."
100,000 years is a long time

Cheyenne Dalrymple (Stockton, Calif.) and Tommy Barnes (Cusseta, Ga.) are the Peru State Bobcat Athletes of the Month for March as announced recently by athletic director Steve Schneider.
Dalrymple earned the recognition after being twice named as the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) Player of the Week during the month. Cheyenne won her first honor on March 10 after having hit .444 and having a .611 slugging percentage during a week which saw Peru State win four of five games. The following week, Dalrymple again earned the honor as she continued her torrid hitting batting .514 on the week with four doubles and four home runs. That week was the conclusion of the Tucson Invitational Games as the Bobcats went 9-5.
Presently, Dalrymple has a .485 batting average and a .803 slugging percentage. She has six doubles, five home runs, and 17 RBI.
Barnes was selected for the March honor as he earned the HAAC Baseball Player of the Week on March 17. The prior week, Barnes had helped lead Peru State to a 5-1 mark. During that week, Barnes batted .450, going nine of 20, with one home run, four RBI, and scored six runs.
Currently, Barnes is batting .350 and has a slugging percentage of .583. He has nine doubles, five home runs, and 25 RBI. His five dingers and 25 RBI are team highs. At this time in NAIA Top 50 rankings, Barnes is 30th in home runs per game (0.179), 39th in total bases per game (2.143), and 40th in total home runs (5).
AD Schneider stated, "Cheyenne and Tommy both had excellent performances during the month of March which were noted by the Heart of America Athletic Conference. Both of them have helped their teams to good months."

An undergraduate student may repeat a course an unlimited number of times except in cases where a department has imposed repetition limits. The repetition of a course does not remove the previous grades from the student's official academic record (official transcripts). A "W" will no replace a previous grade. The University is not obligated to offer courses so that a student can repeat them.
The last grade in a course will be used in computing the student's grade-point average (GPA). In order to get the adjusted GPA, you must repeat the course at Ball State University. You cannot transfer in a new grade from another college or university because only passing credits will transfer to Ball State University. The credit hours will count only once toward meeting minimum credit requirements for graduation.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with an advisor.

On March 25, a five-day tactical field exercise began in the Kazlu Rudos Training Area in Lithuania to test the readiness of the 17th rotation of the Lithuanian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team of Ghor province (Afghanistan). This is the last PRT rotation that Lithuania will deploy to Ghor, it will hand over the responsibility for security in the province to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), the Defence Ministry said in a report.
Troops from Ukraine who will be serving with the PRT-17 also train in the exercise along their Lithuanian colleagues.
The Distinguished Visitors and Media Day on March 27 will be attended by Minister of National Defence Juozas Olekas, Chief of Defence of Lithuania Lieutenant General Arvydas Pocius, other representatives of the Ministry of National Defence and the Lithuanian Armed Forces, and other guests.
The exercise is intended to put to test readiness of the PRT-17 to carry out various tasks - patrolling, evacuation, countering an attack, neutralisation of explosive devices, communication with local population, representatives of local administration and various international organisations, etc.
The final PRT shift is planned to be deployed in May.
The Lithuanian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team ensuring security in the province of Ghor of Afghanistan is a joint civilian-military mission, a part of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) that was launched in 2005.

It is really difficult to make a blanket generalization on soccer. Since there are soo many teams and soo many competitions
At the world cup the gulf between the best an worst teams are huge. The large variance between the teams makes it less likely for any inherent randomness to maniest itself in te results. You could even apply this principle to the champions league.
Compare this to the English premier league, where winning half your games in a 38 game season pretty much guarantees you a champions league berth (top 4 out of 20), and winning 60% of your games is outright championship form. The variance between teams here is small, so inherent randomness has a larger effect on the result of any single game.

As for alumni support, there's been a good amount, believe me. For example, one of our electrical engineers came out of solar retirement, took a couple weeks vacation from his day job just to fill a crucial spot on the team when one of the current students fell sick and couldn't go to Australia. But we can/should only do so much. If alumni do everything, nobody learns anything.

Hello, so you probably know that I spent 3 days in Darwin. I hung out with the team a lot but I also spent a good amount of time with Stanford and checking out their car. Okay, they do have better cells, but teams across the atlantic were able to get them just fine. Stanford custom made their their own drivetrain, which they claim is better than the CSIRO that Michigan runs, which IMHO is really cool.
Overall I think their car is well put together, their team has a good blend of talent and experience. They put just as many test miles on their car as we did. I personally think it's a nicer looking car than generation having seen both cars up close. They have a different design philosphy from us, but I think they executed theirs better.
I think give them the same cells, Generation might have a better shot, but I think Stanford will have the edge. Also They will always have the best cells in the race. That's just the way it always has been since the rule change to full silicon. I had no problems accepting that fact when Quantum was designed. I knew we had to make up the gap in aero and weight and by golly we did.
In my book, if Stanford beats us in WSC 2013 then they are the best team in America. Having history on your side is nice, but the bottom line is you're only as good as your last race, man. My heart goes out to the men and women in Yellow, but I'm gonna give credit where credit is due.

Nokia, the company which was once synonymous to mobility and innovation is on the verge of being a bankrupt company. The company launched its mobile commerce gig last December in India dubbed Nokia Money to help the 2nd largest populated country in the world to help transactions from the palm of their hand and now the company is shutting it down.
"The mobile financial services business is not core to Nokia so we plan to exit the business," said a spokesman for the company.
In a strategic partnership with YES Bank and state-run Union Bank of India for the mobile financial services business, NOKIA money would have taken Nokia to the next level of PayPal for mobile.
"They are exploring options with us for a structured exit from the business and the services will continue to operate while planning continues," a YES spokesman told Reuters.
Telecom operators, banks, credit card companies and technology firms like Nokia have been fighting to get a piece of the potentially lucrative business.
"The market is crowded and the role of Nokia in that business was questionable," said John Strand, head of mobile consultancy Strand Consult.
