Pre-built Form Templates
Building contact forms in WordPress can be time consuming. Why?
Because every other WordPress contact form builder plugin requires you to build your contact form from scratch. The truth is it's often not necessary to create a contact form completely from scratch unless you really want to.
Whether you're looking to create a simple contact form, request a quote form, donation form, payment order form, registration form, or a subscription form, we have a form template for you inside our contact form builder.
WPForms comes with pre-built form templates to help you save time. You can add, remove, or re-arrange fields as necessary.
Mobile Ready, SEO Friendly and Optimized for Speed
WPForms' contact forms are 100% responsive and mobile-friendly by default. We also optimized every query on the front-end and the back-end to ensure maximum speed – Yes, WPForms is one of the fastest WordPress contact form plugin.
You can embed your contact form on any page with optimized title and description. With the speed and proper formatting, WPForms is also one of the most SEO friendly contact form plugin.
All the Fields & Features that You Need to Succeed

You can easily integrate your contact forms with an email marketing service or collect payments for bookings and orders. WPForms allows you to do it all.
The best part is, you can do it all without hiring a developer.
See what one business owner has to say about WPForms' contact form:
As a business owner, time is my most valuable asset. WPForms allow me to create smart contact forms with just a few clicks. With their pre-built form templates and the drag & drop builder, I can create a new form that works in less than 2 minutes without writing a single line of code. Well worth the investment.
David Henzel – Co-founder of MaxCDN
Surveys & Polls
Along with contact form, you can also use WPForms to create surveys and polls.
Our WordPress Survey plugin addon comes with smart survey fields including likert scale, star ratings, multiple choice, Net Promoter Score (NPS), and more.
WPForms offer the best-in class survey reporting. You can use our interactive reports to customize the graphs, export them for your presentations, and even display the aggregate results to your users.
The best part about WPForms survey reports is that it can retroactively work on any old contact form created with WPForms.

Just like the contact form, you can embed your surveys and polls inside any post, page, or widget area in WordPress.
Payment Form, Donation Form, Booking Form, and More
While WPForms started out as a contact form plugin, it has evolved into a powerful forms solution that you can use to create a payment form, donation form, registration form, online booking form, and more.
WPForms integrates with both PayPal and Stripe to make it easy for you to accept credit card payments online. It even comes with a signature field to collect user signature on your WordPress forms.
You can do all of this while still using the same easy-to-use contact form builder that's loved by over 1 million users.

There are times when the best tour is the kind you organize yourself.
Sometimes life places you in the path of a tough decision. Looking at the optional shore excursions offered in Naples, Italy, by the cruise line, we had two choices — we could climb Mount Vesuvius or we could tour Pompeii, but there was no possibility of doing both. It was a dilemma that many cruise passengers face. With only eight hours in most ports of call, it can be difficult to see all the sights you want to see.
Fortunately, there was a solution to our problem and it was waiting for us as we stepped off the ship. After choosing to forgo the pre-packaged shore excursions that didn't really meet our needs, we were making our way to the train station to go see Pompeii on our own when we began talking with a local taxi driver named Alberto.
In a matter of minutes, we negotiated a price to hire him for the day with guaranteed stops to climb Mount Vesuvius, tour Pompeii, visit a cameo factory and stop for a slice of pizza in the city where it was invented. The added bonus came in the fact that the final ticket price was less than either of the pre-packaged shore excursions we had considered.
When travelling by cruise ship, making the most of the limited time you have in a port of call can sometimes mean breaking away from the rest of the pack and planning your own activities. It can be as simple as hiring an independent taxi driver for the day or engaging the services of a local tour company for a private tour. Other times it means figuring out local transit schedules and touring on your own. In every case, it takes a little advance research to determine what you want to see, how to get around and what activities you would like to experience in each place your ship will dock.
As I stood at the top of the towering black volcano that buried Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae, there was no doubt the impromptu taxi tour with Alberto had been the right decision for us. I felt my own smallness as I gazed into the 650-metre-wide smouldering core of Vesuvius and looked down upon the ruins of the great city of Pompeii. Charles Dickens put it best when he said: "It is a strange and melancholy sensation seeing the Destroyed and the Destroyer making this quiet picture in the sun." I was just glad I hadn't missed out on seeing it.
Cruising 101: Making the Most of Your Time on Shore
- Know Thyself: Think about the hobbies and activities you enjoy at home and see if there are any opportunities to enjoy them in the destination you are visiting. Wine tastings, cooking classes, art classes, fishing, hiking, farm visits or adventurous activities can be found in many destinations.
- Do Some Research: Check the tourism websites for each port of call. Be sure to check the tourism calendars for festivals and special events — these are the places the locals will be. Check out an online guidebook for the destination to see what sites are recommended by the experts. An established guidebook website like www.fodors.com has information on virtually every port destination.
- Check Pre-packaged Options: Check out the tours offered by the cruise line and see if any of them appeal to you. Then decide if it could be cheaper or better if you did something similar on your own. Check the websites of local tour operators to see what private tours are on offer. Always check review sites like TripAdvisor to see if past customers have been satisfied with a particular tour operator before you hire them.
When to Go With a Pre-packaged Shore Excursion
- When you want to venture far from the ship, it is typically wisest to use a ship-sponsored shore excursion. If you are docked in Cozumel and you want to see the ruins of Tulum, for example, it requires both ferry and ground transportation. If something goes wrong with your plans and you miss the departure time for your ship, you are on your own to get to the next port. If you are on a ship-sponsored shore excursion, the boat will wait for you — even if you are late.
- When you want to do an adventurous activity like diving, ATV tours, zip lining or rappelling, you can take comfort in knowing that all tour operators are vetted by the cruise line for safety.
- Sometimes the ship-sponsored shore excursion can be a better price and more convenient than going on your own, because they buy in bulk.
- If you want to meet other people, a cruise-sponsored shore excursion allows you to get to know other shipmates on the excursions whose company you can continue to enjoy back on the ship.

Another 10 percent were part-time. And thousands of jobs were fellowships or grants provided by the new lawyers' law schools."

One Piece is not actually #1 in [i]overall[/i] sales?
There's no such thing as the best anime or manga, it's all opinions.............
Please add my other account: J-J3LL08D
well true its an opinion... But best is a word and has its meaning and we can't just ignore it if we did it would be a pointless and wouldn't exist...Since the word best exist and we use it we have to apply to something and I apply it to one piece :)
I'm sure u apply best to something...
I'm up for a NAFTA
Wait.... How is DBZ the best worldwide yet One Piece is the best in Japan?
How is it possible that DBZ is doing better outside of it's home than within it? lol :P
Haha oh wells! Whatever!

Haha oh wells! Whatever! :P
Because to Japan, DB, DBZ, is pretty old, nothing new. It was released in Japan in 1980's. Naruto, Bleach, and OP are a lot more recent + it's still airing. For us, we had DB/DBZ back around 1990's but with it's low ratings it was dropped until the turn of the 21st century is when DB/DBZ first started to become popular. Exactly the same time DB/DBZ became popular here, One Piece started to air in Japan. Considering it started airing around the corner to the start of the 21st century, it's been about 11 years since OP started. We didn't get OP until 2004, then Naruto started at the end of 2002 in Japan, then we got Naruto around 3 years later. Finally Bleach started end of 2004, and we got it about 2 years later.
DB/DBZ: Japan 1980's - America 1990's but canceled, until Aug of 1998 with DBZ.
One Piece: Japan Oct of 1999 - America Sept of 2004
Naruto: Japan Oct of 2002 - America Sept of 2005
Bleach Japan Oct of 2004 - America Sept of 2006
America didn't start to watch until about about end of 1998...so 12th Anniversary year of Anime. Even with Pokemon and Digimon. Although we did have Sailormoon in 1995, I don't think everyone was into Sailormoon. But a lot of people were definitely into DB/DBZ/Pokemon when I was a kid.
Pokemon: Japan April of 1997 - America Sept of 1998
Digimon: Japan March of 1999 - America Aug of 1999
DBZ never gets old i'm even watching dbz kai on tv even though they cut some of the good scenes out...guess u need to wait for the uncut dvd to experience it fully...
I'm up for a NAFTA
haha wow!
That is old! :O
But thanks to you I learned something I never knew! ^^
Let me remind some people that Worldwide/Global does not equal US.
If I'm not mistaken, Dragon Ball is still the #1 manga worldwide with 300million copies sold, but I'd say One Piece come close 2nd because as of now One Piece sold 220million+ copies in Japan alone and One Piece is also fairly popular in most Asian countries and Europe.
Not to mention One Piece still have maybe 10/13 more years of run since the series is just halfway through the story right now and if One Piece keep selling like 3million per volume then One Piece will beat Dragon Ball's wordwide sales in a few years with Japan sales alone.
Think about it.
i hate dragonball and one piece
I have nothing to give,So I can at least not be a burden to others
Naruto is a best seller as well I guess.
It says on the inside of the manga somewhere "world best seller!"
i don't care about the numbers..but ONE PIECE ROCKS!!!
Dragon Ball Z was just release first..but before one piece i love dbz..
but if in the past they were release at the same time...
the world will explode!!
just reading some manga before going to sleep..
well mifune23 is correct, and they are both very well written anime/manga's.
icanrawrtoo dont believe everything you read. Even this message I might be a forum troll or ninja
Otaku enabled
How come crunchy roll does not have one piece in their library?
Never liked One Piece much but when I was told
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
That Ace died I was sad and had to watch that episode
but other than that never touched it again :^)
I Just Wasted A Few Seconds Of Your Lives. xD
I don't even like One Piece
And if you think about it,One Piece is the most popular in Japan
Dragon Ball in time
Naruto worldwide
I could be wrong,but that's what I learned throughout the years of observing,no one even talks about One Piece in America,well,none that I've heard of,there could be people who talks about it though.But almost every school I go you'll always hear guys and some girls talking about Naruto and Dragon Ball.Reading it at class,choosing it as a topic for a project...............
Death Note is pretty big too
Not only in america,but the Phillipines,it's full of narutards,including myself (not meant to be offensive)
One Piece is pretty big in the phillipines too,never liked it though,neither does my classmates,friends and cousins
So One Piece is BIG in the otaku community,but Naruto has more global fans,but most of some of its fans don't even know what anime or manga is,they just like it
Sorry if I offeded anyone,feel free to disagree with me,just don't bash me
Wondering if I should buy it. . . . . . . . .

Prior to the Thanksgiving night clash with the Ravens, the San Francisco 49ers had been tied for 14th in the NFL in sacks allowed with 21.
That ranking will fall dramatically after the Ravens sacked quarterback Alex Smith nine times in a 16-6 victory Thursday night.
The nine sacks, which tied a franchise record set twice previously, were somewhat surprising since the defense had totaled just four sacks in the previous three contests and was playing without 12-time Pro Bowler Ray Lewis.
But according to defensive tackle Haloti Ngata who posted two sacks, Lewis' absence was a factor in the defense's performance.
"I think we understand that up front, we needed to have a huge game just because we are missing Ray Lewis, and we are kind of light on the back," said Ngata, who collected his first two-sack showing since Oct. 17, 2010 against the New England Patriots. "Up front, we definitely had to have a big game, and I think we knew that. We did a great job today."
Defensive end Cory Redding, who enjoyed a career-best 2½ sacks, said the key was containing 49ers running back Frank Gore. Gore, who had entered the game ranked seventh in the league in rushing, could manage just 14 carries for 39 yards – his second-lowest total of the season.
"It's stopping the run," Redding said. "Once you stop Frank Gore, then we could pin our ears back and get up there faster. We knew we had great shots to get some pressure on him, but we didn't think it was going to be like that. So obviously, guys were just feeling the energy, looking at the pass scheme, and really just getting on the edge and rushing the passer tonight."
Smith, who threw for just 140 yards and finished with more interceptions than touchdown passes for the first time this season, said what the Ravens did wasn't shocking.
"We definitely expected some pressure," he said. "There were times I felt they were a step ahead of us. They have a very good defense, and it seemed like we were in third-and-long all night."
Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, who led the defense with three sacks, enjoyed the wide distribution of sacks, which included one sack by safety Tom Zbikowski and a half-sack by cornerback Lardarius Webb.
"It was a collective effort," Suggs said. "When teams are doing it together, they become scary. The Giants, the Vikings, Dallas, those teams are getting a lot of sacks because a lot of guys are doing it, not just one guy. So when you've got a unit that's playing in sync with each other, that's when you get a lot of sacks. They start to become contagious."

Chrono Trigger Review
Chrono Trigger will need no introduction to most of the old-school gamers in our readership. The classic RPG about saving the world through time-travel is a true timeless classic that is regarded to this day as one of the greatest videogames of all time. This port brings iOS gamers same great game we've loved for years, but some port-related drawbacks make it feel rusty like Robo.
The short rundown on Chrono Trigger's story is that Crono, his nerdy friend Lucca, and a mysterious yet joyous girl he runs into at the local fair, Marle, set off on an adventure across multiple eras in time to defeat Lavos, an evil entity that threatens to destroy the world as they know it. We don't want to spoil anything for newcomers, but some of the twists, characters and environments will leave a lasting impression. This is not your typical RPG trope-filled quest. Also, this port includes the updated translation from the DS version.
Oh, Marle. If only you know the irony in that request.
Unlike Final Fantasy and its ilk, Chrono Trigger opts for visible enemies in zones instead of random battles. It also offers two modes of battle: wait (enemies only attack after you take your turn) and active (the battle continues while you make choices). Picking a party of three characters out of the seven available to you by the end of the game is extremely important, as certain characters can initiate powerful abilities with others. The overall pacing of the game is fast enough that you feel a constant sense of progression, and grinding is never necessary.
Some of the greatest innovations of Chrono Trigger were the inclusion of New Game+ and multiple endings. After completing the game you can restart the quest, retaining all of your gear, weapons and skills. Defeating Lavos at different periods of time unlocks various endings, some of which are comic relief, while others show the effect of what would happen if you didn't meet a certain character or initiate a certain event that occurred at a later point in the game. Additionally, the two bonus dungeons from the DS version that offer ultimate weapons for all seven characters and story tie-ins with the PSX sequel, Chrono Cross, give the game even further replay value. One unfortunate omission from the game is the animated cutscenes found in the PSX port of Chrono Trigger.
Petrified bat expression: priceless.
Not everything is peachy with this port, though. The floaty and imprecise 'touch anywhere' joystick makes a burden out of simple movements and avoiding enemies, something that worked perfectly in every other version of the game we can remember. Also, the graphics are muddy, half due to the lack of retina support and half due to shoddy porting. Gone are the crisp 16-bit graphics from the SNES days. Simply looking at the screenshots on the App Store in comparison to those of any other platform says it all.
Not everything is bad on the systems side, however. The menus are responsive and the text is clean so you don't have to wrestle with them every time you want to attack an enemy or sell off old gear. The classic soundtrack, regarded as a 16-bit era masterpiece, is encoded in the high-quality Apple Lossless format, the reason the game's file size is so large.
Back to the future, RPG style.
It's unfortunate that Chrono Trigger has port issues holding it back from the perfection we know it can achieve. Those who have already played Chrono Trigger in the past and want to have it with them all the time should pick this up, but newcomers would be better off picking it up in its ultimate version, on the Nintendo DS. We hope Square Enix will update the game with some improvements to make this a port worthy of bearing the Chrono Trigger name. In any case, it feels good to have Chrono Trigger in our pockets.

A third vehicle, heading westbound on Donald Street collided with the semi. That vehicle was driven by Sabrina Lee, age 29, of Waterloo. She was taken to Allen Hospital for her injuries.
Two children, a 7 year-old male and a 5 year-old female, who were passengers in the Lee vehicle, were injured. The female was ejected from the vehicle. They were taken to Allen Hospital. All injuries are non-life threatening.

Diff/Merge Tool
Wing Pro provides single and multi-file difference and merge capabilities that can be used to compare files or directories and to manage differences to a version control repository (see Integrated Version Control).
To initiate a session, use the Diff/Merge toolbar item (click to display a menu of options) or use the Difference and Merge menu item in the Source menu. You will be prompted for any file or directory names in the status area at the bottom of the IDE window. Additional sessions can be started concurrently but only one session is current at a given time. The same menus can be used to switch among multiple concurrent sessions, when there are two or more.
Once a session is started, the selected files will be displayed side by side, one annotated with A: and the other annotated with B:. Use the newly revealed toolbar items to move to the next or previous difference pair, to merge differences from one file into the other, or to terminate the session. Navigation and merging is also possible with the key bindings listed in the diff/merge menu.
In addition, a summary listing all changes is available from the diff/merge icon displayed at the top right of editors in the active session. This includes line number, change summary, and Python scope name when applicable. Selecting a change from this menu will jump to it.
The following types of difference/merge sessions are available:
- Compare Files -- Compare two selected files.
- Compare Directories -- Compare two selected directories. The Diff/Merge tool, which will be shown while the multi-file session is active, will display a list of files and estimated degree of difference in each file pair. Clicking on the list will display the first difference in the selected file pair. The selection on the list will also update as you move through the difference list.
- Compare Visible Files -- Compare the two visible files. This is only available when two editor splits are shown and two different files are open in them.
- Compare Buffer with Disk -- Compare the current file and its contents on disk. This is only available when the current file has unsaved edits.
- Compare Recent -- This provides a sub-menu for quick access to recently performed comparisons.
- Compare to Repository -- When a file is in checked into one of the version control systems that Wing Pro supports, this item can be used to compare the working copy of the file with the corresponding revision in version control.
Diff/Merge Options
The Difference and Merge menu also contains two items that control the action of the diff/merge sessions:
- Lock Scrolling -- When this is checked, Wing keeps the scrolling position of the two files in the diff/merge session synchronized.
- Ignore Whitespace -- When this is checked, Wing will ignore changes that consist solely of white space (space, tab, line feed, or carriage return characters).
It is also possible to select between side by side or top/bottom orientation of the two files shown during a difference and merge session using the Orientation preference.
The color used in the highlights for differences can be configured with the Diff/Merge Color preference.

Street Address:
A prominent Republican state senator recently asked the state Department of Economic and Community Development to make sure and take the call if the department gets a ring from Molly Mickler Smith, the daughter of FedEx founder Frederick W. Smith.
There is hope more film opportunities such as "Nashville," filming of which takes place in the capital city, will open up in Tennessee as state officials continue analyzing the film incentives available.
(Photo Courtesy of American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.)
She is producing a movie adaptation of the Tony-award winning Broadway smash "Memphis: The Musical."
Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris' request to state officials wasn't because he assumed they'd ignore her call. Instead, his request reflects a continued interest at all levels of government in Tennessee to make sure the state remains competitive in the never-ending arms race to attract entertainment productions of all kinds.
Filmmakers and industry representatives from around the state have for several years lamented more attention going to states like Georgia and Louisiana that have comparatively showered filmmakers and production companies with gobs of money.
Lawmakers and economic development officials, along with film industry representatives, have been slowly working to change that dynamic. When asked point-blank if he felt good about the state's film incentive structure and the state's competitiveness at the moment, Norris did not hesitate.
"Yes, I do feel good about it," he said. "There is some additional funding in the budget that is proposed for next year for this industry, so I think the Department of Economic and Community Development also sees the benefit of it."
He also distinguishes the way the state's film incentives work now with how they did under the prior administration.
A report from auditors in the state comptroller's office released at the end of January, for example, showed that the desire to make Tennessee more competitive in the entertainment world sometimes resulted in exuberance that veered a bit off track.
Vincent Finamore, an auditor in the comptroller's office, sat at a table in front of a joint legislative committee on Jan. 28 and recited many of the key findings in the comptroller's report. At one point during the hearing that lasted for more than an hour, a legislator interrupted him and asked if he believed the state's film incentive program has thus far fulfilled its mission.
Finamore hesitated.
"As I present the findings, I think I'll give a picture … to answer your question," Finamore replied.
With no change in the tone of his voice, he continued reading:
"The Department of Economic and Community Development and the Department of Revenue have disregarded their statutory responsibility and exercised poor management and administrative oversight of the state's headquarters film incentive program," Finamore read.
According to a summary of the report, "Auditors could find little to no evidence the incentives have led to new film-producing facilities or permanent film jobs in Tennessee.
"In 2006, the General Assembly passed laws giving the film commission authority to provide certain financial incentives to attract movie production companies to the state. However, auditors questioned whether the incentives provided have been properly determined and whether certain incentives intended for filmmaking facilities located in Tennessee have been improperly awarded to out-of-state businesses. The auditors found that incentive payments were based on expenditures that did not always meet the program's guidelines or have adequate supporting documentation."
According to the news website TNReport.com, millions of public dollars went into the state's film incentive program in the past to aid productions like "Hannah Montana: The Movie" and "Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Special."
In fact, a review by TNRreport of state records from 2008 to 2012 shows the state will have spent more than $22 million on Hollywood productions made in the state.
There have been varying degrees of success. One of the most recent examples is the ABC drama "Nashville," which state officials say is bringing in millions in economic development – not to mention major brand recognition for the state.
Following the release of the comptroller's report, state officials say changes have been made and the incentives will be more transparent from here on out.
"I don't think it's been made sufficiently clear that these problems in the comptroller's report were problems from the previous administration, which we have now addressed," Norris said. "What we're currently doing is working pretty darn well. This is one of the reasons I wanted to do away with the tax incentive component of it. Because as I looked – I wasn't aware of the audit at first – but as I looked at whether we were competitive or not in our region … it became apparent that the tax credits were gummed up in the department of revenue, and it was just a cumbersome thing that wasn't working very well.
"As we looked into it, we said we need to just do away with that and get that out of there anyway. So that's what we did."

It's nice to have outsiders peep into our cloistered theory community from time to time. At dinner, I was trying to explain some of the business meeting discussion to John Baez, and the increasingly obvious look of incredulity on his face and my ever-more-convoluted attempts to explain myself soon made it apparent that something was seriously wrong.
Pretty much all of the annual handwringing we do over short/long/submissions/acceptance /quality/reviews/PC load and what have you, would just disappear in a "publish in journal/talk in conference" model. I realize that this is far too radical (though not innovative) an idea to ever be implemented any time soon, but you have to wonder why we in algorithms (and in computer science in general) put ourselves through such misery for no good reason. I have yet to hear a convincing reason why our model is superior to the math model1.
Admittedly our business meetings would be a lot shorter (not to mention less beer), but I am willing to pay this price :)
1The only reason I have heard is that our journals take too long to publish papers, but that assumes that this would not change if we had no conference reviewing.

Wild Enter Olympic Break On A High Note
The Minnesota Wild will enter the Olympic break on a high note after beating the Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime Thursday night. Nino Niederreiter scored the game winner with just over two minutes remaining in overtime.
Jonas Brodin's eighth goal of the season gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 4:05 of the first period with an assist credited to Neiderreiter.
After the Predators jammed home a loose puck to tie the game at 1-1 just under two minutes later, Zach Parise connected on the power play for his 19th of the season on a wrist shot just under the crossbar.
The Preds tied the game at two at 7:40 of the second period and neither team scored in the third period.
Niederreiter's goal came at 2:16 of overtime with assists credited to Kyle Brodziak and Jared Spurgeon.
The Wild outshot Nashville 36-18 in the game, including an 18-7 margin in the third period/overtime

In 1938, an upstart horse named Seabiscuit shocked the world when it absolutely destroyed one of the best-bred horses that ever lived, the menacingly-named War Admiral, in a special one-on-one race.
The race only happened because the owner of War Admiral, Samuel Riddle, was baited into the challenge. Had he not responded, War Admiral's record might have remained unblemished.
This tale came to mind this week as I opened a favorite magazine to spot another established champ chomp down hard on the bait of a rival.
Ford Motor Co. -- whose absolute dominance of the profit-producing pickup segment is now measured in geological terms -- threw a hard elbow at the rival Ram 1500 and its claim of best-in-class 25 mpg highway fuel economy.
The Blue Oval's marketing campaign doesn't mention the Chrysler Group offering by name, but delivers a stiff jab to an area where the Ram 1500 lags the F-150.
"Fuel economy without power is like fishin' without bait," Ford's new print ad ironically exclaims next to a whale-sized empty fishhook.
The ad touts what it says in small letters is the F-150s "best combination of towing and fuel economy" at 11,300 lbs. and 22 mpg highway. I'm not sure what the SAE rule is for adding two categories and comparing the sum. Does it mean a competitor has to add these two numbers and come up with more than 11,322 to beat Ford?
The 4x2 Ram 1500, which does best the comparably-equipped V-6 4x2 F-150 in highway fuel economy at 25 mpg, falters in the comparison with a maximum towing capacity of 6,500 lbs. So Ram's print ads tout -- you guessed it -- their pickup's 25 mpg.
The pickup segment is the most important for domestic automakers since it weighs so heavily on profits. Ford, GM, and Chrysler have fought a pickup war for decades, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, because of this fact. GM's new pickups come out next year, and it's also been almost two decades since any of the three changed their respective positions in the segment.
But these ads show me that Ford, like War Admiral, knows well that its competitors want a shot at its dominant position. The only question is whether the Blue Oval will be baited into giving them the opportunity.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Thunder guard DeAndre Liggins was arrested over the weekend after his girlfriend told police he attacked her in front of their 2-year-old son, but his lawyer said Wednesday that the NBA player denies "ever laying a hand on a female."
No charges had been filed as of Wednesday in connection to the Saturday incident. The local district attorney didn't return a message seeking comment.
A probable cause affidavit filed in Oklahoma County District Court said the woman told police that Liggins punched and hit her at their home. When the woman locked herself in a bedroom, Liggins "kicked the door in and pushed her down" before dropping a fan on her, stomping her with his foot and then dropping an Xbox on her head, according to the affidavit.
The officer who wrote the report noted that the woman had physical signs of injury on her body.
Liggins was arrested Saturday on suspicion of domestic assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and domestic abuse in the presence of a minor. He was later released after posting $8,000 bail.
His attorney, Billy Bock, said his 25-year-old client denies the allegations.
"DeAndre certainly denies ever laying a hand on a female," Bock said. "He's hurt by the allegations but knows the truth will come out."
In a statement released by the team, Thunder general manager Sam Presti noted the seriousness of the allegations but declined further comment.
"We reiterate the serious nature of this issue. We are awaiting further information and will have no further comment at this time," Presti said.
Liggins played in 39 games last season for the Thunder, averaging 1.5 points a game. The Chicago native played for Kentucky from 2008 to 2011.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Markel Brown scored a season-high 23 points, Le'Bryan Nash added 20 and No. 20 Oklahoma State cruised to an 81-58 victory over Portland State on Sunday in its first game as a Top 25 team in five years.
Phil Forte chipped in 15 points and Marcus Smart had eight points and nine assists, the third most for a freshman in Cowboys' history.
Already up by 18, Oklahoma State (5-0) put the game away with a 13-2 run to start the second half, giving the Cowboys a 53-24 lead. Brown connected on a runner and a 3-pointer and then punctuated the spurt by driving for a two-handed reverse dunk. Portland State (1-3) was never closer than 20 after that.
Renado Parker and Michael Harthun led the Vikings with 12 points apiece. Top scorer Dre Winston Jr., a transfer from Washington State, missed all five of his shots and was held scoreless.
Winston had been averaging 14.7 points and led the team in scoring in each of the first three games this season. Portland State fell to 0-3 on its four-game road trip.
The Cowboys climbed into the Top 25 this week for the first time since 2007, following a perfect run through the Puerto Rico Tipoff and an upset of then-No. 6 North Carolina State in the tournament championship game. The game marked the first time Oklahoma State has been ranked under fifth-year coach Travis Ford.
Oklahoma State went with a seven-man rotation with Brian Williams and Jean-Paul Olukemi both out for the season and Michael Cobbins (toe) and Marek Soucek (knee) still recovering from injuries. That hardly slowed the Cowboys, who never trailed.
Brown and Philip Jurick came up with blocked shots on two of Portland State's first three possessions and raced to a 14-3 lead, with Smart setting up a right-handed dunk by Brown and a two-handed slam by Kamari Murphy.
The dunks kept coming as Oklahoma State's lead continued to grow, with Kirby Gardner lobbing to Brown for a two-hander coming out of a timeout. Smart then set up three straight baskets - dunks by Brown and Jurick and then a Brown 3-pointer - during a 7-0 stretch that pushed the Cowboys' lead to 31-12 with 6 1/2 minutes left before halftime.
Portland State hadn't faced a ranked opponent since December 2009, when it beat rival Portland, which was No. 25 at the time.

These are the words we all want to hear after a few days off the bike doesn't matter what the reason was...
This time, they came from the physio who is looking after my knee, and doing a great job (it makes me think what a big job it is to look after a whole team). The only restriction was not to do hills as yet.
Easy, I could just load the car and drive to Nundah for a few laps... perhaps many laps. It is amazing how I can get excited by going for a ride around "Nundah" after training and racing on that circuit hundreds of times.
It is an interesting circuit. It is smooth, it is wide and it is reasonably protected from wind. The pace can be fast and the race full of attacks but it can be slow with a fast last lap when crafted sprinters usually get the cash.
Breaks do succeed now and then, usually with four or more riders. Average speed on the circuit can be anything from 38 to 45 km/h, depending on the grade. My best lap in training was 1 min 35 sec (sorry, just checked my 1998 traning log) for the 1.2 km circuit... I would hate to know how fast the Elite guys can do it.
Well, this time I was excited. I even decided to make this little movie to show how good this circuit really is. Here it is, enjoy it!

Dalton's season-long unbeaten run ends in Limited Late Models
ALTAMAHAW � Barry Beggarly rediscovered his winning touch and washed away a season-long drought Friday night at Ace Speedway.
The highly decorated former champion picked up his first victory of the year in the 60-lap Late Models feature.
�It�s been kind of a dry spell,� he said, checkered flag in hand, after the premier division�s eighth race of 2013. �It�s great to get it back up here in Victory Lane.�
Pelham�s Beggarly led from wire to wire and, while cruising at the front of the pack during a long green-flag run of 42 laps, was moments shy of winding down an almost uninterrupted ride to the finish.
But Dean Fogleman�s spin with six laps remaining produced the first caution period since the 12th lap and bunched the field for what became a decisive double-file restart.
And Dustin Rumley, the quickest qualifier earlier in the night, pulled his No. 88 Chevrolet to the outside in an attempt to work the high line past Beggarly.
�Get up on the wheel,� Rumley said of his strategy at that late juncture. �That�s all you can do is just try.�
Beggarly�s No. 82 Chevrolet, hugging the lower line inside of Rumley, proved up to the task on the final restart.
�Stayed on the bottom and just tried to get a good smooth lap,� he said. �We was able to hold them off.�
McLeansville�s Rumley placed second. He was followed by Pelham�s John Moore in third. Burlington�s R.D. Smith came in fourth and Burlington�s Robert Tuner finished fifth among the 13-car field.
An engine change forced Smith, the division points leader, who won the previous two races, to miss qualifying and start at the rear of the field. His No. 16 Ford quickly gained eight positions and was running in the top five by the 20th lap.
Rumley�s runner-up finish marked his best result since his victory May 31 and trimmed his deficit in the division standings to six points.
�It was really good on the short runs, just too free as the race went on,� he said of his car. �The tires would get hot and it would get freer and freer and freer.�
Rumley�s car was fast out of the gate in qualifying. His lap of 15.806 seconds set the pace. Then the top four qualifiers were inverted before the start of the main event.
That shuffled Beggarly to the front with a first-place starting spot, cherished track position for the veteran who had placed fifth and sixth in the last two Late Models races here.
Rotten luck � he has endured finishes of 16th and 10th in recent months � also had hampered Beggarly�s season prior to the breakthrough Friday night.
�The last four of five races, we couldn�t even barely get a top five, so it feels good,� he said. �It�s a long time since I�ve had a car this good. The only thing we could do is just hope it would stay with us.�
-- In the twin 25-lap Limited Late Models races, Jason Payne triumphed in the nightcap, conquering a scintillating green-white-checkered ending and, in the process, snapping Boo Boo Dalton�s season-long winning streak.
Dalton extended his run of perfection to seven straight victories in the division�s opening race. His No. 50 Chevrolet rocketed from the rear of the 17-car field � three cautions and subsequent double-file restarts became timely factors in his rise � and eventually overtook Payne�s No. 9 Ford with four laps remaining.
Dalton, the 17-year-old from Liberty, called it �by far� his most challenging test of the season.
At that juncture of the night, he had improved to a spotless 7-for-7 in the division this season and still was riding the tear that began in April.
Then, in the second 25-lapper, Haw River�s Payne passed early leader Ziggy Zimmerman and seemed destined for a caution-free � smooth, painless and relatively devoid of drama � first victory of the season.
But Justin Taylor and Bethany Stovall wrecked, transforming those notions with less than two laps remaining.
The night�s most exhilarating moments erupted from there on the restart, a green-white-checkered finish.
Payne�s car cleared Dalton�s on the inside line. Contact on the backstretch caused Payne�s car to bobble anxiously. He held on to it, steadied it and ultimately stood his ground through the track�s final set of turns, as Dalton ducked his car way low in a last-gasp move.
Their cars banged side-by-side as they charged out of turn four and down the frontstretch, with Payne emerging as the first driver to deny Dalton this season at Ace.
-- In the 30-lap Modifieds race, Burt Myers, the star from Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, claimed his first Ace victory of the season in his second start of the year here.
The Walnut Cove driver chose the outside line three times and wrestled the lead away from Speedy Faucette with 17 laps remaining, on the last of their three tightly contested double-file restarts.
Faucette pulled out of second position and into the pits soon thereafter, retiring the No. 10 car he was driving due to a mechanical problem.
That allowed Myers� No. 4 car to build a dominating lead at the front of the 11-car field.
-- Friday night�s other winners at Acewere Walkertown�s P-Nut Vernon (25-lap Mini Stocks) and Garner�s Michael Neal and Gibsonville�s Keith Brame (twin 15-lap X-treme Cars).
Vernon, the two-time former champion, picked up his first Mini Stocks victory of the season. Only four cars remained on the track by the end, when Vernon easily handled the green-white-checkered finish.
