December 19, 2014
In a pre-Christmas media event, Ford president and CEO Mark Fields said while 2014 was a good year for the company, 2015 has the potential to be a "breakthrough year". Fields said that Ford's investments in products, people, plants and technology, combined with industry growth, are not only delivering a year of growth in terms of revenue, pricing power, operating margins and profitability in 2014, but are setting the stage for growth in and beyond 2015.
The global automotive industry is staged to experience $1 trillion of revenue growth over the next five years, Field said: from about $2 trillion today to about $3 trillion by the end of the decade. "That's a tremendous amount of growth. We want to get our fair share of that growth." In moving forward on that, Fields said, Ford will focus on five key areas of innovation: mobility, autonomy, connectivity, customer experience and performance.

Ford will roll out new Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection system in Ford and Lincoln vehicles globally
October 23, 2014
Ford Motor Company is introducing a new driver-assist system that can reduce the severity of or even eliminate some frontal collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians. Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection will debut as available technology on the 2015 Ford Mondeo on sale in Europe this year. (Earlier post.) It will then roll out to other Ford and Lincoln products around the world.
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses radar and camera technology to scan the roadway ahead and, if a collision risk with a vehicle or pedestrian is detected, provides a warning to the driver. If the driver does not respond in time, the system can automatically apply up to full braking force to help reduce the severity of or even eliminate some frontal collisions. Pre-Collision Assist may help drivers avoid rear end collisions with other vehicles at all speeds, while Pedestrian Detection can help the driver avoid pedestrians at lower speeds—both may reduce the severity of forward collisions or even prevent certain forward collisions.

Autonomous Audi RS 7 concept completes Hockenheimring lap at racing speed
October 20, 2014
|System components of the Audi RS 7 piloted driving concept. Click to enlarge.
At the DTM season finale, an autonomous Audi RS 7 piloted driving concept completed a lap on the Grand Prix track in Hockenheim at racing speed—without a driver. It took the Audi RS 7 piloted driving concept just slightly over two minutes to complete a lap on the track, piloted with high precision and accuracy to within centimeters. The five-door coupe is largely identical to the production model, but its electromechanical power steering, the brakes, the throttle valve and the eight-speed tiptronic are controlled automatically.
There are two primary technological considerations during piloted driving at such speeds: precise orientation of the vehicle on the road and absolute control of the vehicle at the handling limits.

Lux Research: self-driving cars will lead to a $87B opportunity in 2030, but fall short of full Level 4 autonomy; software leads
May 12, 2014
|Software will capture the largest segment of the autonomous car market opportunity, according to Lux. Click to enlarge.
In a new report—"Set Autopilot for Profits: Capitalizing on the $87 Billion Self-Driving Car Opportunity"—Lux Research projects that Level 2 self-driving will increase from about 3% of cars sold globally today to 57% in 2020, and 92% in 2030.
However, the firm also concludes, by that same year only 8% of new cars sold will attain the reasonable capabilities of Level 3 autonomy, and no Level 4 fully autonomous cars will be available. By 2030 automakers will be able to capture profits of about $9.3 billion from the emergence of autonomous vehicles, making this new technology an alluring proposition. Level 3 autonomy will be a premium option, opening the door to business model innovation if automakers hope to deploy it beyond some high-end vehicles.

Google focusing autonomous driving development on mastering city street driving; patents piling up
April 29, 2014
Over the past year, Google has shifted the focus of its autonomous vehicle project onto mastering city street driving, according to Chris Urmson, Director, Google Self-Driving Car Project. (Urmson was the technical team leader of the CMU team that won the DARPA 2007 Urban Challenge, an autonomous vehicle race.)
Google's autonomous cars use video cameras; 4 radar sensors (front, back, left, right); a laser range finder (Velodyne HDL-64E LiDAR) to "see" other traffic; and a GPS as well as a wheel encoder and very detailed road maps to determine the precise location of the vehicle. Google says that its autonomous vehicles have logged nearly 700,000 autonomous miles (1.13 million km) over the four years they have been on the road. Since its last pubic update in 2012, Google said that it has logged thousands of miles on the streets of Mountain View, California, Google's home.

Volvo Cars developing systems for Driver State Estimation; driver sensors
March 17, 2014
Volvo Cars is researching systems that can recognize and distinguish whether a driver is tired or inattentive. By placing a sensor on the dashboard to monitor aspects such as in which direction drivers are looking, how open their eyes are, as well as their head position and angle, it is possible to develop precise safety systems that detect a driver's state and are able to adjust the car accordingly.
The analysis of the driver's state, known as Driver State Estimation, in which driver sensors play an important role, is a field that may be key to self-driving cars in the future, Volvo suggests. The car will need to be able to determine for itself whether the driver is capable of taking control when the conditions for driving autonomously are no longer present. A driver sensor could be of assistance in this.

Volvo Car Group tests road-embedded magnets for accurate positioning of self-driving cars
March 11, 2014
Volvo Car Group has completed a research project using magnets embedded in the roadway to help the car determine its position. The research, which has been financed in strategic co-operation with the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), is a potential means of implementing self-driving vehicles.
Reliable and highly accurate positioning is one of the crucial issues in the development of self-driving cars. While established positioning technologies such as GPS and cameras have limitations in certain conditions, road-integrated magnets remain unaffected by physical obstacles and poor weather conditions. Accordingly, the use of road magnets has attracted some academic research, as well as a number of patents filed on different approaches.

TU München team develops new technique for accurate distance measurement by advanced driver assistance systems using cooperative transponders
January 21, 2014
|Basic concept for range detection using cooperative transponders. Click to enlarge.
As part of the "cooperative transponder" research project Ko-TAG (earlier post), researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) developed a new approach to distance measurement to enable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in cars to pinpoint the location of pedestrians and cyclists even in non-line-of-sight situations—i.e., when they are hidden from the driver's view.
In this scheme, pedestrian's and cyclist's cell phones serve as transponders. On-board positioning systems compute the projected trajectory of the transponders and initiate an emergency braking sequence in case a pedestrian or cyclist moves into the path of a car.

So for the first time in 22 years The Replacements played a live show last night at RIOTFEST in Toronto. Yeah...22 years. Like most bands that say they will never play again, The Mats did just that...and from all of the reports and videos I have seen, they KILLED IT!
When I say "The Replacements" it was really just Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson from the original line up. Their original guitarist Bob Stinson died back in 1995 and Slim Dunlap who played with the band until the break up suffered a stroke a little over a year ago (which is why Tommy and Paul got back together to record the benefit EP "Songs For Slim". While Chris Mars their drummer has no interest in playing again. So with the help of drummer Josh Freese (who has played with EVERYONE!) guitarist David Minehan The Mats played a 23 song set which would please the biggest of fans...including me.
This was the first of only 3 gigs the band has booked right now. They will also play the 2 remaining RIOTFEST's in Chicago and Denver. It pains me to know that I won't be at either show, but I have a strong feeling they will do a proper tour...so fingers crossed. Below is the setlist from last night and a little video to go along with it.
Mats Setlist:
Takin' A Ride, I'm In Trouble, Favorite Thing, Hangin' Downtown, Color Me Impressed, Tommy Gets His Tonsils Out, Kiss Me On The Bus, Androgynous, Achin' To Be, I Will Dare, Love you Till Friday, Merry Go Round, Wake Up, Borstal Breakout, Little Mascara, Left Of The Dial, Alex Chilton, Swinging Party, Can't Hardly Wait, Bastards Of Young.

"Sublime" is a word that's used very often to describe the taste of a delicious confection, often involving chocolate, or to express the exquisiteness of a tropical island that looks like a screen saver. It is commonly used to describe a peak experience and in fact it is derived from words that mean "up to the lintel", or up to the top. In the 18 th century, British writers and philosophers often used it to describe their feelings upon seeing the Alps for the first time during the travel ritual known as " The Grand Tour"
But there is a very important element to the sublime that is very often missed today: a deep sense of danger, one that is either entirely obvious, or just chewing around the edges of your subconscious. Edmund Burke, one of the primary thinkers on the sublime, describes the feeling state as all encompassing, a state of astonishment – "the mind is entirely filled with its object" – which happens because "all emotions are suspended in some degree of horror."
The horror – or the terror, if you will – comes from an either conscious or unconscious understanding your own mortality, your insignificance, and the limits of your own understanding and comprehension. But this is also delightful, because at the very moment of contemplation, you are not in any actual danger – so you are physically calm, yet aware of your own mortality.
Contemplating the ocean evokes a sense of the sublime. You know that endless water with its waves and undercurrents can get you, if it wants to, you can't see the boundaries of it, not at the horizon, not down below. But at the moment, on the beach, you're just fine. A pack of lions, seen from a remove in a Land Rover on safari, evokes the sublime. It could kill you, it is unpredictable, but at this very moment you are safe. And, as the Brits discovered in the 18th century, mountains are a reliably source of the sublime, too, with their treacherous avalanches and temperature differences.
If it is bigger than us, stronger than us, and unbendable to our will – if it's something that we have trouble understanding, and especially if we can't see its full boundaries, if the light is growing dim and some of it is obscured from our view, it is a good candidate to evoke the sublime.

This article is an excerpt originally by Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an extremely popular national radio personality and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover.
From engagement parties to bridal showers to wedding dresses to photography and flowers, weddings can quickly spiral out of control when it comes to money. Today the average wedding costs more than $26,000, making it easily one of the costliest milestones a couple will encounter.
Too many couples get caught up with the "dream wedding" concept and end up thousands of dollars in debt. By starting your marriage off on the right financial foot, you will avoid a lot of heartaches and arguments.
If you're one of the thousands of couples planning on getting married in the near future (or if you were recently married), here are a few tips on how to ease some of the financial stresses that a wedding and a marriage can bring…. (continue reading…)

text: Peaceful Touch for Children Celebrating International Day of Peace By Karen M. Rider Peace, I have learned, is not something that just happens by itself. The practice of peace begins with every individual on this planet. For peace to become our global reality, it must be cultivated by each one of us… in our thoughts, our beliefs, and especially in our words and our actions. And, I have learned it must begin at home, in our families and especially in how we interact with and correct our children. More often than I would like, my two young daughters demonstrate warfare tactics that would make a general proud. No matter what I model for them, how I speak (or don't speak) to them, it is a perpetual struggle to cultivate peaceful problem solving between these "darlings." Despite monitoring and changing my own behavior, I am left clueless about how to teach peace to my children. Between the shouting, hitting and stomping off to another room, I have begun to wonder if that is even possible. Teaching Children to Practice Peace in Sweden In Sweden, more than 300,000 children are practicing peace through?a program called Peaceful Touch® (P.T.), developed by Hans Axelson in Stockholm in the early 1990's. The program integrates respectful, healthy touch with a child's daily activities. From reading and storytelling to math, science problems and physical activities such as yoga, these children are learning to use their hands as instruments of peace, instead of warfare. The children calmly and gently use one another's back, or even an arm, to trace numbers or letters, solve simple math problems or draw figures from a story. Sometimes the children form a "massage train" or help each other roll into "cooked spaghetti" while lying in savasana (relaxation) pose. Peaceful Touch® is widely used in the home, in school classrooms, and other curricular settings. Swedish parents and teachers have reported that children partaking in a P.T. program, over time, have lower levels of anxiety and aggressive behavior, improved concentration, greater confidence and enhanced peer relationships including group cohesion and cooperation. The P.T. philosophy is based on three fundamentals. First, touch is necessary for human growth and development. Second, P.T. embraces a permission granting process that helps establish appropriate boundaries between children. The third foundation is the oxytocin factor. Scientific evidence has demonstrated the touch of another human (or even a cuddly pet), triggers the body to produce the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin generates a calming effect throughout the body. Healthy, peaceful touch is necessary for our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well being.

You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for I love you so!

Jane and By Dod were original waterfront homeowners in Huntington Harbour. Jane Dod, a lover of music, decided in 1952 that she wanted to do something special during the holidays to raise some money for the local children's school music programs.
Her husband thought it was a great idea. Together, they rounded up eight couples with little boats and had a small holiday boat parade through the harbour waterways. Each couple donated $6. The group went on to form the Huntington Harbour Philharmonic Committee, and the next December a few additional boats joined the parade.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the boat parade. These days, the boat parade is a thank you to residents for decorating their homes. Why? Because directly after the boat parade, the Philharmonic Committee presents the Cruise of Lights, a 45-minute narrated boat tour to see those lights and decorations.
This year's theme is Golden Memories – 50 Years of Music. The cruise runs Saturday through Dec. 23.
Proceeds from the Cruise of Lights go to help music programs for more than 250,000 Orange County students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The event has raised close to $3 million for children's music programs.
Last year, more than 10,000 guests from as far away as Australia took the Cruise.
Some residents decorate their boats and homes to the theme, others put up string after string of lights, add animation, and have music wafting across the water.
Teresa Nichols, winner of this year's Judges Special Trophy for her home decorations, says she is amazed at the work homeowners put into their decorations.
"For us, it's a way to celebrate the season, and make sure our music programs stay strong," she said.
The Philharmonic Society of Orange County is a classical music presenter that hosts concerts in various venues throughout the county. In addition to bringing concerts to the area, the Society also has a variety of musical education programs that serve about 250,000 children every year.
Programs include the Musical Mobile – a van that visits local schools to give children a hands-on experience with music and various instruments.
A Disneyland concert for 2nd graders is also a popular program from the Society. Children are invited to a concert featuring the Disneyland band and some Disney characters.
Classical concerts and visits from professional musicians are also some of the programs students benefit from, courtesy the Philharmonic Society provides.
Huntington Harbour has its own committee that works to raise funds for these programs every year. The Cruise of Lights raises about $100,000 each year to help with these programs and more.

Sugar Levels in Urine: Should I Be Concerned?
I am almost eight months pregnant. In my fifth month, blood sugar was found in my urine, but the diabetes test came back normal. They are giving me other blood-sugar tests, and sugar keeps showing up in my urine. My doctor thinks it is what I eat and says it is normal to spill sugar in the urine. I am concerned because there are times when my sugar is four-plus. Is this anything to worry about?Question:

Glucose in the urine -- glycosuria -- during pregnancy is not necessarily abnormal. About one-sixth of pregnant women spill sugar in their urine due to changes in the kidney filtration system. Try to avoid intake of concentrated simple sugars in the diet for 24 hours before your next visit to the clinic, (of course, you would want to do this anyway). Things such as sodas, candy, sweetened cereals, pastries, desserts should be avoided.
If you have had the standard tests for gestational diabetes and these are normal, it is unlikely that you have diabetes. However, you may be at increased risk for yeast infections and urinary-tract infections due to the amount of sugar in the blood. Postpartum, it may be a good idea to have a three-hour glucose-tolerance test, if this has not been done during the pregnancy.
Try not to worry.Answer:

Precise Shooter does not accept FFL transfers from several companies.
We will price match their prices, however. Details are here.
Would like to buy something, but it is not on the site? Click here!
Q: How do I buy from you?
A: If you are local to Seattle area, see here. If not, here.
Q: Why do you not accept credit cards?
A: Our overall gross margin is roughly 8%. Credit cards charge 2.5% transaction fees. This is one third of our profit! We understand that not
being able to pay with plastic reduces the level of protection you have as a consumer. Please keep in mind that USPS Money Orders that we take
as payment do offer significant level of protection as well, as engaging in fraudulent activity with them is a federal crime.
Q: I am looking for a rare gun that is out of stock everywhere. If I backorder it from you, when can I get it?
A: Unfortunately our distributors NEVER project ETA dates, and so we can't, either. On some guns backorder time can last for 6 months,
even a year. Some may never be received at all.
Q: I want a military surplus gun that you do not have in stock. Can you order one for me from (Century, SOG, SAMCO, ...)?
I would like a fully matching gun with a nice bore, 95% or better metal, and a decent stock.
A: The quality of military surplus guns is extremely variable. When importers grade it, they almost always grade them based on external
appearance, so very often the bores on guns that sport an "Excellent" grade are rusty and pitted. Matching numbers are almost never ensured, either,
and when they are, they quite often are electro-penciled rather than stamped.
In addition, some distributors of military surplus equipment - Century in particular - often take very long time to ship,
so we can never accurately predict the date when the rifle arrives. More than once we have received merchandize several months after it has been
Because we cannot guarantee the quality of service on military surplus equipment, we do not generally special-order it. There are very
few exceptions - occasionally there will be a great deal at the distributor that would incite us to try and get a few of these into our common
stock; we can then order one or more extra for a customer that asks. But we will almost never special-order a single rifle for one customer.
If we do, we would ask for at least a 20% pre-payment upfront, which would be non-refundable, regardless of the condition of the firearm.
That said, there are many online retailers that ship military surplus guns where you can order a firearm directly, such as AIM surplus,
Centerfire Systems, Classic Firearms, Sarco, and others. Almost all of them have our FFL on file, and we will be more than happy to help you with the
transfer. See here. Of course if you are looking for a collector-grade item, an even better idea would be to
look for it on a collector market. Buying from a seller with an established reputation on http://forums.gunboards.com
gives a very high probability of success. Of course, we can help with FFL transfers from private sellers as well.
Q: Do you take trade-ins?
A: Sometimes, but we are only interested in firearms that are not in current production. We do not take optics, magazines, tactical items (especially
tactical items!), or anything like that. The guns that we take in trade-in must match our personal collection which is focused on extremely accurate
firearms (think Dan Wesson revolvers, competition pistols, bench-rest quality rifles) and communist block military weapons, although a few Enfields
and Mausers have managed to take root there recently as well. We never resell the guns we receive in trade!
Q: Do you take guns for consignment?
A: No. Reselling guns acquired from private citizens is subject to a different, more complicated process (such as having it cleared by police).
We are not set up to do this.
Q: Do you do layaways?
A: Yes, we do. Guns that are very hard to get need to be paid within a month. All the rest will need to be paid within 2 month. We do not
charge extra for this service.
Q: I am out of town and can not pick the gun up right away. Can you hold it for me?
A: Yes, if you are out of town, we will hold your gun for you for up to two weeks. If you are not traveling however, we prefer that the
gun be picked up within a week (excluding the time it takes for the paperwork to clear). If you fail to do this, we may sell it to the
next customer who expresses an interest in it.
Q: Will you ship?
A: We can ship new firearms for the real cost of shipping. We do not ship surplus firearms because the condition varies greatly
and we want to ensure that the buyer has had an opportunity to inspect the gun to avoid costly returns. We also do not ship ammunition
(too expensive) and most other non-firearms items. See here for details.
Q: Will you ship to California?
A: Yes. We have an account with CA DOJ and we are authorized to ship to California. However, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that
the item is legal. If it is not, you will be responsible for all the return shipping charges and 15% restocking fee.

Canelo Alvarez
Good afternoon to everybody. I just want to let you know I'm very happy. I'm happy that the fight's right around the corner, and I want to let you know that I'm ready. I'm ready for that great night.
The question is for Saul, for Canelo Alvarez, you mentioned that you've chosen opponents, more dangerous opponents than both Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather. Do you think that's going to put you even at a higher plateau, at a higher level in the future?
No, the question was asked to me that I was in a position to pick opponents similar to Floyd and Manny, and my response was, look, I pick the most dangerous, the best fights because at the end of the day I fight for the fans and I want to give them the best fights out there. As far as getting further out in my career and reaching new heights, you know, by fighting the toughest fights, by fighting the best fighters out there, that's how I fulfill myself, taking on the biggest challenges. And time will tell.
Canelo, you know how the passion in the Mexican fans are for futbol, soccer, a victory on the 12th for you, will that give us a little bit of satisfaction that Mexico was eliminated and give us that sense of patriotism?
Yes, of course. And when it comes to World Cup Soccer we're all right there with the patriotism following our country, and I'm hoping that July 12th my victory will give all of my countrymen the same satisfaction as well and keep them happy.
The question is for Oscar, Chris, and Canelo. What do you guys think of Mayweather taking over these dates so important to Mexico, like September, like May, dates that have in the past meant dates of Julio Cesar Chavez and Oscar De La Hoya, and do you see in the future these dates once again becoming dates, like Canelo Alvarez or even Abner Mares, who's on the card?
O. De La Hoya
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has given me strict orders, obviously he wants to follow in the footsteps of the great champions hailing from Mexico like Julio Cesar Chavez, fighters that have started the tradition of fighting Cinco de Mayo, started the tradition of fighting in September. Canelo now being a star of his own and a big draw and a person who the fans adore, me, as his promoter, it is my obligation to do what's best for the fighter. So we're obviously focusing 100% on Erislandy Lara and then we will be sitting down with Saul Canelo Alvarez and plan out his future.
I want to retake those dates and bring them back. Those dates are Mexican dates, they're Mexican independence dates, and yes, for next year I will be fighting, I want to be fighting on those dates.
What now do you expect to see in what you learned from Mayweather, building off the momentum from Angulo, what do you expect to show us tactically against Lara that shows your improvement?
Lara and his camp have their strategy and they're working their game plan. But I'm comfortable with mine. I'm working very hard. I'm working for this fight. Every fight is different. You prepare for every opponent differently. And I'm very confident that come July 12th once we're in the ring all the other stuff goes out the window and it's just him and I up in the ring. And that's what I'm preparing for, and that's what's going to take care of business on the 12th.
Oscar, can you weigh in on that? I know you actually stated that you were concerned about him taking this fight and in fact didn't want this fight necessarily for him. What about Canelo, has changed your mind? Do you expect to see a better Canelo than the one you saw against Floyd and Angulo?
O. De La Hoya
Yes, when people say I didn't want this fight for him, obviously it wasn't the first choice. As a promoter you don't want the most difficult fight out there for him. But this is what Canelo's all about, ultimately it's his decision, and his decision is a very calculated decision. He's confident in his abilities, and he wants to fight the very best. That's the bottom line. And me as a promoter and me as an ex-fighter, I look at it in two ways. Here I was as a fighter fighting the very best, just like Canelo's doing, and as a promoter this wasn't my first choice. But you have to go with what the fighter says, with what the fighter feels. And this is what is most admirable of Canelo Alvarez is that he wants to please the fans. He wants to give the fight fans the most difficult fights out there.
Have you talked to Canelo since he decided, and you've all decided, that this is the fight he's going to take and kind of gotten a glimpse of what he thinks he can do in this fight? And if so, I guess not without revealing too many secrets, what do you think you're going to see in terms of improvement?
O. De La Hoya
Well, obviously Canelo's a fighter who continues to improve, who continues to grow. He is a fighter who has tremendous, tremendous abilities inside the ring. We feel that with Austin Trout Canelo saw things in Austin Trout, we saw things in Austin Trout, and the same here with Erislandy Lara, yes, he's very difficult and it's a difficult style, it's a tough test in front of him, but like we saw something with Austin Trout you always see something with Erislandy Lara, you see things that obviously Canelo can do and take advantage of. But only the fighter can tell you. The fighter can tell you exactly what he saw and what makes him believe that he can beat him.
Canelo, Erislandy says that the Angulo that you fought was a lesser Angulo than the one he fought. Tell us, was that an improved Canelo Alvarez, or a lesser Angulo, as Lara said?
It doesn't matter what they say. They can say whatever they want. I'm not going to lose sleep over that. I know what I did. I know I did a very good fight. But that fight's behind us. That fight's in the past. Now I'm preparing for the next fight and for the future.
This is a great matchup, but the fight got made at 154 pounds, I hadn't heard from Canelo, from his own words as to why he was not interested to fight for the title belt that Lara has.
O. De La Hoya
This fight is not about a title. This fight is about honor and glory..
