Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, is a military cemetery in the United States of America, established during the American Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Confederate general Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, a great grand-daughter of Martha Washington. The cemetery is situated directly across the Potomac River from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. It is served by the Arlington Cemetery station on the Blue Line of the Washington Metro system.
In an area of 624 acres (253 ha), veterans and military casualties from each of the nation's wars are interred in the cemetery, ranging from the American Civil War through to the military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pre-Civil War dead were reinterred after 1900.
Arlington National Cemetery and United States Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery are administered by the Department of the Army. The other national cemeteries are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or by the National Park Service. Arlington House (Custis-Lee Mansion) and its grounds are administered by the National Park Service as a memorial to Lee.
George Washington Parke Custis, grandson of Martha Washington, acquired the land that now is Arlington National Cemetery in 1802, and began construction of Arlington House. The estate passed to Custis' and his wife's (Mary Lee Fitzhugh Custis) only surviving adult child Mary Anna Custis Lee[not in citation given][2] who was married to Robert E. Lee, a West Point graduate and United States Army officer. When Fort Sumter was forced to surrender at the beginning of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln offered Lee command of the federal army. Lee demurred, waiting to see if his native Virginia would decide to secede.
When Virginia announced its decision, Lee resigned his commission and took command of the armed forces of the Commonwealth of Virginia, later becoming commander of the Army of Northern Virginia.[3] He quickly established himself as an able commander, defeating a series of Union generals, until his final defeat and surrender at the McLean House. Because of this decision and subsequent performance, Lee was regarded as disloyal by most Union officers. The decision was made to appropriate a portion of Arlington as a graveyard primarily for Union dead.[4]
American military cemeteries developed from the duty of commanders on the frontier and in battle to care for their casualties. When Civil War casualties overflowed hospitals and burial grounds near Washington, D.C., Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs proposed in 1864 that 200 acres (81 ha) of the Robert E. Lee family property at Arlington be confiscated for a cemetery.
The government acquired Arlington at tax sale in 1864 for $26,800, equal to $398,237 today.[5] Mrs. Lee had not appeared in person, but rather had sent an agent, attempting to timely pay the $92.07 in property taxes (equal to $1,368.12 today) assessed the estate.[6] The government turned away her agent, refusing to accept the tendered payment. In 1874, Custis Lee, heir under his grandfather's will passing the estate in trust to his mother, sued the United States claiming ownership of Arlington. After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Lee's favor in United States v. Lee, deciding that Arlington had been confiscated without due process,[6] Congress returned the estate to him. The next year, Custis Lee sold it back to the government for $150,000 (equal to $3,174,545 today) at a signing ceremony with Secretary of War Robert Todd Lincoln.[5]
Military burials were previously held at the United States Soldiers' National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., but it was quickly filling.[5] "We pray for those who lost their lives," Meigs wrote, "The grounds about the mansion are admirably adapted to such a use." Burials had, in fact, begun at Arlington before the ink was even blotted on Meigs's proposal.
The southern portion of the land now occupied by the cemetery was used during and after the Civil War as a settlement for freed slaves. More than 1,100 freed slaves were given land at Freedman's Village by the government, where they farmed and lived during and after the Civil War. They were evicted in 1888 when the estate was repurchased by the government and dedicated as a military installation.
President Herbert Hoover conducted the first national Memorial Day ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery, on May 30, 1929.[7]
Arlington National Cemetery is divided into 70 sections, with some sections in the southeast part of the cemetery reserved for future expansion.[8] Section 60, in the southeast part of the cemetery, is the burial ground for military personnel killed in the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan.[9] In 2005, Arlington National Cemetery acquired 12 acres (4.9 ha) of additional land from the National Park Service, along with 17 acres (6.9 ha) from the Department of Defense that was part of Fort Myer and 44 acres (18 ha) that is the site of the Navy Annex.[10]
Section 21, also known as the Nurses Section, is the area of Arlington National Cemetery where many nurses are buried and is the site of the Nurses Memorial.[11] Another section—Chaplains Hill—includes monuments to Jewish, Protestant, and Roman Catholic military chaplains. In 1901, Confederate soldiers buried at the Soldiers' Home and various locations within Arlington were reinterred in a Confederate section that was authorized by Congress in 1900. On June 4, 1914, the United Daughters of the Confederacy dedicated a monument designed by Moses Ezekiel. Upon his death in 1917, Ezekiel was buried at the base of the monument as he was a veteran of the Confederate army.[12] All Confederate headstones in this section are peaked rather than rounded.[13] More than 3,800 former slaves, called "Contrabands" during the Civil War, are buried in Section 27. Their headstones are designated with the word "Civilian" or "Citizen".[14]
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs oversees the National Cemetery Administration's orders[15] for placement of inscriptions and faith emblems at no charge to the estate of the deceased, submitted with information provided by the next of kin[16] that is placed on upright marble headstones or columbarium niche covers. The Department of Veterans Affairs currently offers 39 authorized faith emblems for placement on markers to represent the deceased's faith.[17][18] This number has grown in recent years due to legal challenges to policy.[19]
Prior to 2007, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) did not allow the use of the pentacle as an "emblem of belief" on tombstones in military cemeteries. This policy was changed following an out-of-court settlement on 23 April following a series of lawsuits against the VA.[20][21][22] See Patrick Stewart.
Between 1947 and 2001, privately-purchased markers were permitted in the cemetery. The sections in which the cemetery permitted such markers are nearly filled and the cemetery generally does not allow new burials in these sections.[23] Nevertheless, the older sections of the cemetery have a wide variety of private markers placed prior to 2001, including an artillery piece.
The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery is also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It stands on top of a hill overlooking Washington, D.C.
One of the more popular sites at the Cemetery, the tomb is made from Yule marble quarried in Colorado. It consists of seven pieces, with a total weight of 79 short tons (72 metric tons). The tomb was completed and opened to the public April 9, 1932, at a cost of $48,000.
It was initially named the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier." Other unknown servicemen were later entombed there, and it became known as the "Tomb of the Unknowns", though it has never been officially named. The soldiers entombed there are:
The Tomb of the Unknowns has been perpetually guarded since July 2, 1937, by the U.S. Army. The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment ("The Old Guard") began guarding the Tomb April 6, 1948.
The Tomb of the Unknowns is part of the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater. The Memorial Amphitheater has hosted state funerals and Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies. Ceremonies are also held for Easter. About 5,000 people attend these holiday ceremonies each year. The structure is mostly built of Imperial Danby marble from Vermont. The Memorial Display room, between the amphitheater and the Tomb of the Unknowns, uses Botticino stone, imported from Italy. The amphitheater was the result of a campaign by Ivory Kimball to construct a place to honor America's servicemen/women. Congress authorized the structure March 4, 1913. Woodrow Wilson laid the cornerstone for the building on October 15, 1915. The cornerstone contained 15 items including a Bible and a copy of the Constitution.[24]
Before the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater was completed in 1921, important ceremonies were held at what is now known as the "Old Amphitheater." This structure sits where Robert E. Lee once had his gardens. The amphitheater was built in 1868 under the direction of General John A. Logan. Gen. James A. Garfield was the featured speaker at the Decoration Day dedication ceremony, May 30, 1868. The amphitheater has an encircling colonnade with a latticed roof that once supported a web of vines. The amphitheater has a marble dais, known as "the rostrum", which is inscribed with the U.S. national motto found on the Great Seal of the United States, E pluribus unum ("Out of many, one"). The amphitheater seats 1,500 people and has hosted speakers such as William Jennings Bryan.[25]
Due to the ever-decreasing space at the cemetery, and that the nature of memorials is to take up space that could otherwise be used to bury an eligible servicemember, the army requires a joint or concurrent resolution from Congress before it will place new memorials on cemetery grounds. Still, there are several memorials on cemetery grounds, and groups regularly seek to use the ever-diminishing grounds for new memorials.
Near the Tomb of the Unknowns stands a memorial to the 266 men who lost their lives aboard the USS Maine. The memorial is built around a mast salvaged from the Maine's wreckage. The USS Maine Memorial served as the temporary resting place for foreign heads of state or government, Manuel L. Quezon of the Philippines and Ignacy Jan Paderewski of Poland, who died in exile in the United States during World War II.
The Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial was dedicated on May 20, 1986, in memory of the crew of flight STS-51-L, who died during launch on January 28, 1986. Transcribed on the back of the stone is the text of the John Gillespie Magee, Jr. poem High Flight. Although many remains were identified and returned to the families for private burial, some were not, and were laid to rest under the marker. Two crew members, Scobee and Smith, are buried in Arlington. On February 1, 2004, NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe dedicated a similar memorial to those who died when the Shuttle Columbia broke apart during reentry on February 1, 2003.[26] Astronauts Laurel Clark, David Brown and Michael Anderson, who were killed in the Columbia disaster, are also buried in Arlington.
On a knoll just south of Arlington House, with views of the Washington Monument and Capitol, is a memorial to Pierre Charles L'Enfant, the architect who laid out the city of Washington. His remains lie below a marble memorial incised with his plan for the city. L'Enfant envisioned a grand neoclassical capital city for the young republic that would rival the capitals of European monarchies.
The Cairn, the Lockerbie memorial, is a memorial to the 270 killed in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The memorial is constructed of 270 stones, one for each person killed in the disaster. In section 64, a memorial to the 184 victims of the September 11 attacks on the Pentagon was dedicated September 11, 2002. The memorial takes the shape of a pentagon, and lists the names of all the victims that were killed and unidentified remains of victims.[27]
The noted composer, arranger, trombonist and big band leader Maj. Alton Glenn Miller of the U.S. Army Air Forces has been missing in action since December 15, 1944. Miller was eligible for a memorial headstone in Arlington National Cemetery as a service member who died on active duty whose remains were not recoverable. At his daughter's request, a stone was placed in Memorial Section H, Number 464-A on Wilson Drive in Arlington National Cemetery in April 1992.
Only two mausoleums located within the confines of the cemetery. One holds the family of General Nelson Appleton Miles. The other, in Section 1, belongs to the family of General Thomas Crook Sullivan.
On June 25, 1925, President Calvin Coolidge approved a request to erect a Commonwealth Cross of Sacrifice with the names of all the citizens of the USA who lost their lives fighting in the Canadian forces during World War I. The monument was dedicated November 11, 1927 and after the Korean War and World War II the names of US citizens who died in those conflicts were added.
The Women in Military Service for America Memorial is adjacent to the Ceremonial Entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.
On May 15, 1997, after more than two decades of denying the existence of the "Secret War" in Laos during the Vietnam War conflict, the U.S. government officially acknowledged this once covert war, honoring its U.S. and Laos Hmong veterans with the opening of the Laos Memorial on the Arlington National Cemetery grounds, along a path between the John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame and the Tomb of the Unknowns.
The flags in Arlington National Cemetery are flown at half-staff from a half hour before the first funeral until a half hour after the last funeral each day. Funerals are normally conducted five days a week, excluding weekends.[28][29]
Funerals, including interments and inurnments, average between 27-30 per day. The cemetery conducts approximately 6,900 burials each year.[14]
With more than 400,000 interments,[1] Arlington National Cemetery has the second-largest number of burials of any national cemetery in the United States. The largest of the 130 national cemeteries is the Calverton National Cemetery, on Long Island, near Riverhead, New York, which conducts more than 7,000 burials each year.
In addition to in-ground burial, Arlington National Cemetery also has one of the larger columbaria for cremated remains in the country. Four courts are currently in use, each with 5,000 niches. When construction is complete, there will be nine courts with a total of 50,000 niches; capacity for 100,000 remains. Any honorably discharged veteran is eligible for inurnment in the columbarium, if s/he served on active duty at some point in her/his career (other than for training).[30]
Part 553 of Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations establishes regulations for Arlington National Cemetery, including eligibility for interment (ground burial) and inurnment. Due to limited space, the criteria for ground burial eligibility are more restrictive than at other national cemeteries, as well as more restrictive than for inurnment in the columbarium.
The persons specified below are eligible for ground burial in Arlington National Cemetery, unless otherwise prohibited.[31] The last period of active duty of former members of the armed forces must have ended honorably. Interment may be of casketed or cremated remains.
Due at least partly to the lack of space at the cemetery for ground burial, standards for inurnment (burial of cremated remains) in the columbarium are currently much less restrictive than for ground burial at the Cemetery. In general, any former member of the armed forces who served on active duty (other than for training) and whose last service terminated honorably is eligible for inurnment. Eligibility for inurnment is described fully in 32 C.F.R. § 553.15a.
Congress has from time to time created prohibited categories of persons that, even if otherwise eligible for burial, lose that eligibility. One such prohibition is against certain persons who are convicted of committing certain state or federal capital crimes, as defined in 38 U.S. Code § 2411. Capital crime is a specifically defined term in the statute, and for state offenses can include offenses that are eligible for a life sentence (with or without parole). The reasoning for this provision originally was to prevent Timothy McVeigh from being eligible at Arlington National Cemetery, but it has since been amended to prevent others.[32]
Also prohibited under the same statute are those determined, with clear and convincing evidence, to have avoided such conviction by death or flight.
The first soldier to be buried in Arlington was Private William Henry Christman of Pennsylvania on May 13, 1864.[33] As of May 2006, there were 367 Medal of Honor recipients buried in Arlington National Cemetery,[citation needed] nine of whom are Canadian.
Four state funerals have been held at Arlington: those of Presidents William Howard Taft and John F. Kennedy, that of General John J. Pershing, and that of U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Whether or not they were wartime service members, U.S. presidents are eligible to be buried at Arlington, since they oversaw the armed forces as commanders-in-chief.
Among the most frequently visited sites in the cemetery is the grave of President John F. Kennedy, who is buried with his wife, Jacqueline, and two of their children. His remains were interred there on March 14, 1967, a reinterment from his original Arlington burial site, some 20 feet (6.1 m) away, where he was buried in November 1963. The grave is marked with the "eternal flame". The remains of his brothers, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy, are buried nearby. The latter two graves are marked with simple crosses and footstones. On December 1, 1971, Robert Kennedy's body was reinterred 100 feet (30 m) from its original June 1968 burial site.
Until 2005, the cemetery's administration gave free access, with the family's permission, to the media to cover funerals at the cemetery. According to the Washington Post, over the past several years the cemetery has gradually imposed increasing restrictions on media coverage of funerals.[34]
On June 9, 2010, United States Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh reprimanded Arlington National Cemetery's superintendent, John Metzler, and his deputy, Thurman Higgenbotham, after a United States Department of Defense inspector general's report revealed that cemetery officials had placed the wrong headstones on tombs, buried coffins in shallow graves, and buried bodies on top of one another.[35] Metzler, who had already announced his intention to retire on July 2, 2010, admitted some mistakes had been made but denied allegations of widespread or serious mismanagement.[35] The investigation also found that cemetery employees were burdened in their day-to-day work by "dysfunctional management, lack of established policy and procedures, and an overall unhealthy organizational climate."[36][37] Both Metzler and Higgenbotham retired soon after the investigation commenced.[38]
In March 2011, as a result of the problems discovered, Kathryn Condon, the recently appointed director of the Army Cemeteries Program, announced that the cemetery's staff had been increased from 102 to 159. She added that the cemetery was also acquiring additional equipment because, "They didn't have the proper equipment to do the job really to the standard they needed to do."[39]

I have a good friend who works at a restaurant and he was telling me that they have a "secret menu". He said that some restaurants may have secret menu items.

Although I've been carrying concealed for about 8 months now, I finally got my permit today (permits are not required in Alaska, thus the reason I have been carrying)!!!
It is nice to build some credibility with a LEO, should an encounter occur.
The pain in the butt is that my license number and my permit number are the same, so if, for some odd reason, I'm not carrying, the officer will expect the permit. It's all good though!!
Thank God for the Second Amendment!!

Each week I bring you a craft that is fun and frugal. With Easter coming up FAST and Easter Egg hunts already starting, I thought why not tell you how to create a Milk Jug Easter Baskets? I like keeping our "nice" ones for the Easter Bunny to use but these homemade ones are great for hunts and also can make nice keepsakes!
If you've missed any previous crafts, check out Momondealz's Kids Frugal Fun page.
Just a side note, I laminateas much as I can when doing crafts…it really helps to preserve them.
Remember, if you love any of my crafts, be sure to Pin them on Pinterest!
Easter Basket Craft For Kids
Empty and clean milk gallon container
Exacto knife or sharp knife
Decorations of your choice
1. Cut the milk carton into the shape of a basket.
2. Cut off the spout of the carton and staple together the ends to make a handle.
3. Paint and decorate your basket for your desired theme.
As you can see we chose a pirate theme. We painted the entire gallon red and used sticky felt and foam to create pirate faces and a ship. We also glued some gold coins we had to add to the decor.
Educational Activities:
- Math: You can put math shapes inside of plastic Easter eggs and have your child open them and identify the shapes found. For older children you can use plastic Easter eggs for actual math problems (adding, subtracting, etc).
- Language Arts: Create your Easter Basket based on your child's favorite book character. Talk about how the character is described in the book to help bring him or her to life for your child.
- Science: Grow your own Easter grass by getting some grass seed and putting it in a recycled yogurt or butter container. Discuss with your child the needs of the grass (sun, water) and how all plants need these things to survive

Inquest hear airmen's injuries were 'unsurvivable'
The inquest has been told the injuries of both men in the gun attack were unsurvivable. Nothing could have been done to save their lives .
Corporal Brent McCarthy, aged 25, from Telford, died of a gunshot wound to the chest from a small arms weapon fired at close range.
Welsh Guard Lance Corporal Davies, aged 27, from South Glamorgan, died from at least five shots from different angles. He had gunshot wounds to his head, chest and abdomen.
The inquest was told he would have lost consciousness immediately and it was likely he died very rapidly.
10,000 homes planned for Vale of Glamorgan by 2026
Around 10,000 new homes could be built in the Vale of Glamorgan by 2026.
Key sites identified in to the council's new draft development plan include 1,700 homes at the Barry docks waterfront and 1,300 houses for St Athan.
The latest plan plan follows a decision to scrap work on an earlier plan back in January.
The six-week consultation is now underway.
Police appeal over missing man in Barry area
South Wales Police are appealing for information to help find a 50-year-old man who has been reported missing in Barry.
Stephen Riella previously lived in the Llanrumney area of Cardiff, but has been staying with a relative in Barry.
He was last seen on Tuesday 17th September.
On Friday 20th September police recovered a rucksack belonging to Mr Riella at Friar's Point in Barry.
Officers are concerned for his wellbeing and are appealing to anyone who has seen or heard from Mr Riella over the past week to call 101.
Barry, Llanelli & Bettws admitted to Welsh League
At a meeting today of the Football Association of Wales a decision was made to admit Barry Town United AFC into the Third Division of the Welsh League.
Following Friday's decision at the High Court the Football Association of Wales Council held an emergency meeting in Cardiff.
Barry Town United AFC won a court battle against the FAW over its decision to refuse the club entry to the Welsh League.
Following that decision, the FAW Council considered the position of Llanelli Town AFC and Bettws AFC and also admitted them into the Third Division of the Welsh League.
Potential changes to the fire service in south Wales
Two fire stations could be axed and two more down graded under plans to change the way the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service operates.
Kenfig Hill and Porthcawl fire stations would be the ones to close - replaced by a new station in South Kornelly.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, Barry and Cowbridge would have a reduced service.
Changes in other areas will be announced later this year.
Closure of Barry food factory 'a terrible blow'
Local AM for Barry, Jane Hutt, says she will meet with Premier Foods following its announcement of the closure of its factory with the loss of 43 jobs.
Ms Hutt said it would be a terrible blow, "after a long history of providing jobs for local people at their site in the Docks.
"I will be meeting with the company, Premier Foods and the skilled workforce who are affected, regarding this announcement and will ensure that every avenue of support can be made available to them."
Barry food factory to close with 43 job losses
Hovis bread and Mr Kipling cakes firm Premier Foods today revealed plans to shut a 109-year-old flour mill with the loss of 43 jobs.
The group is set to close the mill at Barry Docks by the end of October, bringing to a close a long history in South Wales.
Its Atlantic Mills site was built in 1904 by the then Hovis-Bread Flour Company - Britain's largest flour miller, which has since been renamed Rank Hovis.
Premier said the closure would be phased over the coming months, impacting the mill's workforce and a number of local contractors.
Vale Council 'furious' at Barry Town decision
The Vale of Glamorgan Council says it is 'furious' that the Football Association of Wales has stood by its decision regarding Barry Town's place in the Welsh League.
We have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the club on this matter from the start, and we want the players and the manager to know they will continue to have our unflinching support.
This is not just about football – it is also about pride in the town, its future and the future of our young people.
No change to FAW's decision over Barry and Llanelli
The FAW says its decision stands regarding the futures of former European Cup entrants Barry Town and Welsh Premier League side AFC Llanelli after a special meeting was held today.
Both clubs had been refused entry into the Welsh Football League following off-field problems last season.
The meeting was called to consider new information in relation to a previous decision of Council concerning Barry Town United and Llanelli Football Club.
Two-thirds of those eligible to vote at the meeting must agree for Standing Orders to be suspended in order to receive the new information and reconsider the decision. Of the 29 Council Members present, 15 voted against and 14 voted for Standing Orders to be suspended.
As such, the information could not be heard and the previous decision of Council, relating to the two clubs, stands.

Skip Maine state header navigation
Skip First Level Navigation | Skip All Navigation
Voter turnout among young people in the United States has declined at a troubling rate during the past 30 years. Studies indicate, however, that voting becomes a life-long habit when it starts early.
With that in mind, Maine's Secretary of State has joined forces with media affiliates and other organizations to organize the second Youth Voting PSA Project.
First implemented in 2004, this initiative is designed to draw students' attention to the importance of voting and overall civic participation.
Using available technology, students will produce Public Service Announcements (PSAs) for TV and/or radio.
The PSAs will explore issues about voting, elections and why it's important for young people to take an interest in our democracy.
Students may enter their PSAs in a statewide competition. Middle school and high school entries will be judged separately.
It is anticipated that selected entries will be aired on television and radio stations throughout Maine and streamed.
All participants will be invited to a statewide PSA showcase and press conference with state officials in Augusta in October.
The showcase will offer an opportunity for students and educators to interact with state officials and media representatives.
Organized through the Secretary of State's Office, this project will reward students and teachers for creativity and achievement, while promoting civic participation and voter turnout.

Don't blame models for eating disorders
Eating disorders existed long before supermodels, says Carrie Arnold in Slate. Anorexia and bulimia are more likely to stem from genetics and environmental factors unrelated to thin models and our cultural obsession with digitally-altered images, she says.

Preferences actually hurt minority youth
Affirmative action often harms those it intends to help, say Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor in The Atlantic. Students who might have thrived in less competitive environments are placed in schools where they can't perform, resulting in lower grades and higher dropout rates, they say.

Smart countries acquire nuclear arms

Abolish laws against 'hate speech'

I decided to try out Blackhawk's QD or Quick Disconnect accessory for their Serpa holsters. I must say it does add some bulk to a Serpa rig even using the paddle so this wouldn't be the most ideal for CC unless you wear a heavy coat. This will probably be used for open carry but it will allow me to remove the holstered gun without un buckling my belt and I can just place the holstered pistol in my vehicle if I absolutely have to enter a "gun free zone." It comes with two "female" ends and one "male" end so you can mount the one of the two female ends on a Serpa paddle, MOLLE adapter, or just bolt it onto the door of your vehicle and keep the other one mounted on the frame of your bed and you can use the same holster and gun.
I can also simply remove the holstered gun to put next to me in my vehicle and when I get out all I have to do is lock it back on my belt! It's a convenient thing to have if you are a Serpa fan like me but not the best for concealed carry.

dabact Posts: 1We all know now that Ford has a program for its future known as "the way forward plan". What surprises me is that a company with so much experience building cars can be so much out of tune as to what consumers really want. In my opinion Ford cars are too family oriented, too sedan-like, too ordinary. There's nothing appealing or trendy about them. In other words, why would someone pay the same amount for a Ford as a Toyota with much better resale value. And what gives a Toyota much better resale value? I don't agree with the "myth" that they last longer because if you look on the roads I see far more older Fords than I do Toyota's with comparable sales volumes. I've had a few Fords that came close to 200k miles so I disagree with the notion that japanese cars are more reliable.
Another problem Ford had was it took them way too long to compete with japanese interior quality. Fords had too much cheap plastic for too long. The newer Fords finally have better interiors.
Some other unappealing Ford traits of the past include: lack of manual transmissions in many models (they are more efficient all around and many people prefer them). Performance is another issue that I think continues today. Fords are not as quick and smooth as the competition. A Nissan Maxima is quicker and smoother than a Ford 500,,why? So is a Honda Accord, why?
If I was Bill Ford I would have my designers build more appealing cars. I would start with a compact car (smaller and cheaper than the Focus)with only a few options to keep the price down. Make the interior look nice and give it a good warranty. I'd also make a more affordable SUV. I think there is a big market for low-cost dependable all-weather vehicles as most SUV's are built to be luxurious and are too expensive for most. Take the original Bronco early 70's model. Its a basic, dependable, good all-weather vehicle that doesn't cost a fortune because there are practically no options. Its versatile with the removable top or ragtop. It can carry 4 people or 2 with the backseat removed. And its good enough to suit the needs of most people.
My point is Ford needs to start rebuilding its reputation and needs to start producing high volume sales vehicles to compete. Keep up the quality as in the Fusion and 500 but also offer cheaper no-frills vehicles that are dependable and affordable. And please do away with the excessive RECALLS!! -

Hybrid tech is the transitional technology to something better, is my opinion.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
rockylee Wyoming, MichiganPosts: 13,989Well Wdmunds had a article stating both Mazda and BMW were going to have a hydrogen car by 08' I believe. It was on here a few weeks ago. I thought it was for production. :surprise:
Maybe I'm wrong eh?
Well shifty it will be interesting to see if car manufactors can make hybrids inexpensive enough to justify the upgrade. At $5 or $6,000 dollars extra, one would have to drive alot to actually econimically save money, right ?
I think currently if one wants to get a economical car and wants a new one, buy a Toyota Carolla. They are inexpensive and pretty nice darn cars and they get in the 40's hwy. Better yet if one wants a great fuel efficient car with decent performance, one should buy a Acura TL w/ a manual.

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,413Hybrids really aren't about gas mileage, they are about superior emissions technology. I think this is something that the marketing people have not really done a good job with, in clarifying this point to the buying public. It's not that the Prius gets 10 mpg more than the GM product, but rather that it is so much cleaner burning on the road.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
stickguy Posts: 16,105not many people actually buy something just because of the emissions it puts out. especially not ones buying a gas hog like an Explorer.
I'll wiegh in with one solution. Make better products that people actually want to buy. There are many people IMO that really would be happy to buy a domestic, if they would only give the buyer a tp quality product. Not something that is attractive only because of the rebate
Chrysler and the 300c and the Mustang come to mind. Of course the FS pick ups continue to chug along.
I would say Chrysler is doing the best with product, assuming the Caliber sells well, and the upcoming Stratus is somewhat of a home run (although I confess I have read no details about it). At least they are pushing the envelope, and adding some style.
Ford is next best on product, although they forgot most of the style/pizzazz/new thinking. Hopefully the 3.5l V6 is worth the wait, and helps revitalize 500 sales, which I happen to think is a great car (or has potential to be).2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.4i Limited Tech (mine), 2013 Acura RDX (wife's) and 2007 Volvo S40 (daughters college car)

viggendrvr Posts: 61-decide what each brand is about and stick to it for 15 year cycles. For the life of me, I can't remember what Buick, Pontiac, Chevy or Saturn represent in the market place. The Asian 3 have a two tier system. I would copy it. Meaning Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus and Nissan/Infiniti split the $35k mark below and above. GM could make Saturn/Cadillac its two tier system. Chevy is unique in that it is able to cross the $35k line with the Corvette. Buick becomes Caddys little brother with cloth and nav as options only. Add two tone paint, chrome 'spear', pillow soft suspension and vague steering. Buick becomes the king of float and boats. Pontiac, and SS (super sport) for Chevy, turns to pure performance a'la AMG, SRT, and M. Saturn is the Zen brand. All soft surfaces, soft touch buttons and silent latches. Even 'slow-mo' hinges and lights that fade on or off (both interior and exterior).
2-What to do with Saab, Hummer, GMC? Saab and turbo. Never sell a car without one, even in a crossover or SUV. Use aircraft terminology in place of automotive ones. Throw away the fake wood and use stainless steel or aluminum. Add gauages with information like yaw, pitch and roll, altimeter, air/fuel ration and or hp/torque. Add a real boost gauge. Call your service garage a hanger. Be the first to allow owners to download 'black box' info. Use military aircraft names for limited addition models, like the old Viggen. Hummer is perfect as a low volume brand. If it gets smaller, take over the Jeep Wranger spot in the market place. GMC should be the luxo brand to Chevy work trucks and SUVs.
3-Advertising and marketing. Fade a GM badge, no sound ot music, before and after every commercial for every brand.
4-Stop designing cars for age groups or gender and instead design with and emotion. Don't give a brand a platform if its not within that brands emotional context. Pontiac never gets a minivan, GMC are pure trucks, Saturn no sports cars.
5-Bring back the strippers. Meaning, no option, low weight cars. Big engines. Something American in flavor. Give it to Chevy as an SS badge and Pontiac.
6-Legacy costs. In print, advertising and pricing, separate the legacy cost. Give the 'true' cost of the vehicle, then state the American worker legacy fund. Let people see how the money is spent and who it is being used for.
7-Small Block Chevy. Make it a proper name and badge. Use it to slap Hemi in the face.
8-Turn GM into a 3 pronged machine: Chevy by itself; Saturn, Pontiac, Buick, GMC; and Cadillac, Hummer, Saab. -
viggendrvr Posts: 69-Offer a idiotically long warranty that covers damn near everything (think: Hyundai but better...)
10-Quality vs Perception. Although the quality (as measured by jd powers and other such lists) record the number of faults a car has, these measurments do not take into account the day to day perception of build quality one encounters each day. For example: a trunk latch may not be broken but if it has huge gaps or is off center, the owner will perceive bad quality yet have a car with no reportable defects. American quality has improved ten fold over the past 10-15 years but is not recognized due to its lack of attention in build quality. Spend a few dollars and double check for fit and finish and this will pay off. -
rockylee Wyoming, MichiganPosts: 13,989Hey Mr. Saab guy, I do hope the Viggen name returns.
I believe Saab should be a AWD, All-Weather, Gadgetology, safety, Turbocharged performance icon, brand for GM. :shades: Think Volvo/Audi.
Cadillac needs to be like BMW/Mercedes AMG
Buick needs to be a high powered cushy cruisers. Think Lexus.
Saturn needs to be Toyota/Honda
Pontiac needs to be a high performance Acura/Infiniti
Chevrolet needs to compete with Ford and Chrysler and make inexpensive well made entry cars.
GMC needs to be just Trucks/SUV's
Hummer is good like it is.
Rocky -
viggendrvr Posts: 6first, i agree w/ your list. But isn't it strange that most of the auto brands are emulating other auto brands?
Saab into Subaru (turbo-AWD)
BMW into Caddy (odd exterior styling)
Caddy into BMW (sweat spot of sportiness and luxury)
Saturn into Hon/Toy (mainstream high quality cars)
Hon/Toy into anyone else (more emotion like sportiness and design)
Hummer into Jeep (taking over the old off road icon)
I could go on and on. Maybe automakers specialize in their own field but they need to keep customers who want soemthing else (think: Porshe and its SUV)
My thought: its a bad idea to tread into areas half hearted. Without total commitment (like Saab going fully AWD) it just looks like pandering to what is popular (like GMs multiple rebadge of all its SUVs, or VW building the Phaeton).
GM/Ford needs to go back to some American basics like HUGE affordable cars with soft rides. Buick and Mercury/Lincoln could dominate this market. Look at the 300c/Magnum/Charger. Its not just for old guys anymore.
ps: thnx for the thumb to the Viggen. Its really just an upscale Neon SRT4!

New Website Highlights The Economic Impact Of Advanced Energy NOW!
These seven segments are divided into 41 subsegments, ranging from Vehicle Design and Materials and Freight Logistics in Transportation to Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Energy Storage in Electricity Delivery and Management. Electricity Generation includes Hydropower, Gas Turbines, Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Marine, Waste, Biomass, Nuclear, and Other Distributed Generation. U.S. and global market data for each segment and subsegment, as well as real life examples of businesses from all seven segments are brought to life on AdvancedEnergyNOW.net.
At AdvancedEnergyNOW.net, each industry segment and subsegment is described in detail and its economic impact assessed – in global market size, U.S. market size, contribution to U.S. GDP, and federal, state, and local taxes generated. In addition, AdvancedEnergyNOW.net tells stories of advanced energy technologies in action, and details the benefits of numerous products and business lines in making energy more secure, clean, and affordable. For each segment and many specific subsegments, there are thumbnail sketches of innovative companies ranging from technology start-ups to major utilities delivering advanced energy products and services.
With global energy consumption projected to rise nearly 40 percent by 2030, future prosperity depends on meeting this growing demand with energy that is secure, clean and affordable. Just as the Internet economy transformed society in unexpected ways, the advanced energy economy has the potential to create dramatic new opportunities for economic growth in the U.S. and around the world.
The report, titled " Economic Impacts of Advanced Energy ," was commissioned by the Advanced Energy Economy Institute, AEE's educational and charitable affiliate, and produced by Pike Research, a part of Navigant's Energy Practice and a leading market analysis team. For a full copy of the report, please visit http://AdvancedEnergyNOW.net.
As the first attempt to document the advanced energy industry, this report and the AdvancedEnergyNOW.net microsite likely understates the size and extent of advanced energy economic activity in the U.S. and around the world. Specifically, the U.S. market figures do not account for revenue from export of advanced energy products, and there was no available data for some industry subsegments. Thus, the findings should be considered a conservative statement of advanced energy market size.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I'm not a big fan of the Dukes playing home and aways with low majors as I don't see any advantage other than saving the money it would take to buy a game in Pittsburgh. While they handled UMass-Lowell on the road last year and took care of business in a festive atmosphere against Abilene Christian in showcase games for those programs, they took thirty - eight minutes to finally control the game NJIT in Newark last season. It simply doesn't make a lot of sense to put yourself into that position. Of course, the road wasn't the only thing they dealt with last year.
Does the Starting 5 Really Matter?
I had a conversation about the optimal lineup for the Dukes yesterday on twitter and I was planning on writing something about whether or not who starts matters for anything when I had a little free time. That time is now, and thankfully, it coincides with a recent topic of conversation. Enjoy some rare original content.

The versatile Tarin is a very popular face in television plays, while she has won many hearts as a model, dancer, singer and occasional appearances on celluloid.
After a hiatus of two years, Tarin recently wrapped up shooting for a TVC for "Cocola Noodles" made by Biplob Rahman. In the project, her elder sister Nahin was assigned as beautician.
Tarin recently released a solo album "Akash Debo Kakey", which was warmly received by her fans.
After this heady success, the multi-talented actress-singer is working on her second solo album where she renders a song on her father, written by Zulfiquar Russel. Her first album featured a song on her mother which became very popular.
Although Tarin has revealed her talents as singer-model, she is mainly viewed as an ideal actress. Her works were critically acclaimed as she is very choosy about her roles. She will be seen acting in some notable TV plays this Eid.
A few plays are likely to be made this Eid from her production house.
She recently played a character named Nusrat in a play "Kalo Mokmol". She also sang the title song of the play "Akash Tulechhe Pal Shada Megher Dal".
Meanwhile, she has acted in two one-hour TV plays--"Bewarish Manush" and "Aparahnno".
Earlier, she sang for a drama serial "Sapnagulo Jonak Pokar Motho" directed by Chayanika Chowdhury.

Purchase Reason
Love the content of photo. Color a little dull on wall. The photo seems to have been glued then it dried under the glass. I don't know if it is glued, that is just the way it appears. The photo is rippled under the glass.

Everton swoop for United midfielder Gibson
Everton are closing in on the signing of Manchester United's Darron Gibson.
The 24-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder is likely to cost Everton around £2m.
Gibson has struggled to force his way in the starting XI at Old Trafford this season and is now set to leave the club in order to ensure he makes Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 squad.
A propsed move to Sunderland in the summer broke down over personal terms but BBC Sport are reporting that a move to Everton could be closer.
He would be Everton's second addition this month following the arrival of Landon Donovan on a short term loan deal.

Folks, we had a great day at the first-ever public Honeynet Project Security Workshop yesterday with many excellent presentations by our members from around the globe. The presentations ranged from deep technical dives around shellcode detection and mobile malware reverse engineering to views on social dynamics of attackers and ethics of computer security research.
Further, we hosted a small capture-the-flag/forensic challenge competition, which received plentiful participation - especially with the younger crowd.
We hope that everybody enjoyed the workshop. If you were not able to make it to the workshop this year, we have attached the slides to this blog post. Hope to see you again in 2012.
Christian Seifert
CEO, The Honeynet Project
23:00 UTC Friday March 11th was the first deadline for Google Summer of Code 2011, and the cut off point for organizations interesting in participating to complete their org application.
Just a reminder, there is still time to register for The 2011 Honeynet Project Security Workshop.
More information: honeynet.org/node/602
Register: regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=929631
About the event:
Not all of you might know it, but The Honeynet Project is well-represented on social media. Apart from this blog, we have:
Has it really been another year already? Having really enjoyed our experience as a successful mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2009 and Google Summer of Code 2010, The Honeynet Project is very pleased to announce that we will once again be applying to be accepted this year as a potential mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2011 (note the changed URL for GSoC 2011).
The plot? As usual:
A Linux server was possibly compromised and a forensic analysis is required in order to understand what really happened. Hard disk dumps and memory snapshots of the machine are provided in order to solve the challenge.
Are you up to the challenge? All details are here
Here are the questions that need your answers:
What service and what account triggered the alert? (1pt)
What kind of system runs on targeted server? (OS, CPU, etc) (1pt)
The following are the Top 5 popular blog posts from The Honeynet Project blog this month.
Here is another tool release from The Honeynet Project: Cuckoo Box by Claudio Guarnieri. Cuckoo is a binary analysis sandbox, designed and developed with the general purpose of automating the analysis of malware. Read more about the tool here, grab the tool here – but please read detailed setup guide here (make sure to read it!). BTW, this tool is really well-documented, so make use of it before deploying it.
Here is another new release from the Project: a release of a new tool called PhoneyC, a virtual client honeypot.
PhoneyC is a virtual client honeypot, meaning it is not a real application (that can be compromised by attackers and then monitored for analysis of attacker behavior), but rather an emulated client, implemented in Python. The main thing it does is scour web pages looking for those that attack the browser.
There is a paper at WOOT 10' described how to use smudges on the touch sceen of a smartphone to get largely decrease the time an attacker need to guess the right password to unlock the screen. For example, by for 4 passcode based iPhone, one just need to try at most P(4,4) = 4! = 24 times before he get the right one.
