AOL Autos today announces six finalists for its 2012 Technology of the Year Award, which will be awarded to one Grand Prize winner in January at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
In its first year, the AOL Autos Technology of The Year Award panel is judging emerging automotive-industry technology in the categories of telematics, connectivity and passive safety.
AOL Autos Editor-in-Chief David Kiley says the time is perfect to start judging automotive technology for consumers. "We are seeing automakers putting more and more new and unfamiliar technology into vehicles, and these new systems are making and breaking the reputations of brands," says Kiley. "It used to be that noise, interior designs, fits and finish and engine performance were the big differentiators, but we are seeing headline-grabbing quality scores rise and fall based on how seamlessly consumers' smart-phones connect to the car."
The AOL Autos Technology of the Year judging panel, made up of journalists from AOL Autos, Autoblog and Engadget, received nominations for new or substantially upgraded technology that had to be available in vehicles on sale between September 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012.
AOL Autos received more than 30 nominations of new and updated technology. Starting today, the public will be asked to review articles and videos showing each Technology of the Year finalist on Autos.AOL.com/award, and they will be asked to vote on the technology they find the most compelling. The winner of that consumer vote will have the weight of one judge out of 17 judges on the panel.
AOL Autos is proud to present the following as finalists for our first Technology of the Year Award:
In the category of telematics, the two finalists are:
Cadillac CUE: CUE, offered this year in the all-new XTS and ATS models, as well as the revamped SRX crossover, comprises a glass cockpit with touchscreen, voice control, three USB jacks plus an SD slot. There's an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in the center stack with a capacitive touch panel below with 14 "buttons." There are mechanical buttons for flashers and engine start. The LCD display icons in the instrument panel can be moved around, with favorites promoted to the top row, and non-favorites reduced or removed. The CUE system has been a breakthrough for ease of use, Technology of the Year judges agreed. Even while the system represents a leap for Cadillac and GM in terms of change from previous Cadillacs, GM engineers distinguished themselves by delivering a refined system for controlling the car and integrating a smart-phone that is a leader in simplicity and ease-of use.
Audi connect with Google Maps Street View: Audi connect was not new for 2012, but the addition of Google Earth imaging into the system was, and it is an upgrade that was met with nearly unanimous votes from the Technology of the Year judging panel. The Google Maps integration allows the driver to see high resolution, 3-D terrain and aerial images of routes. The onboard navigation system combines 3-D terrain models with a detailed street network and it seamlessly calculates routes.
In the category of connectivity, the two finalists are:
Chrysler Uconnect Access: When the new generation of Uconnect arrived in the 2013 Ram 1500, Technology of the Year judges began chattering on AOL's instant-messaging system about how easy it was to use, improving on what was already a pretty good system. Uconnect Access offers one-button emergency assistance, voice-controlled texting, the ability to monitor a vehicle's performance, a smartphone app that allows locked doors to be opened when keys are locked inside and headlights to be flashed in a crowded parking place if drivers lose track of where they've parked. There is an on-demand wireless hot-spot. The Bing-powered search app is voice-activated and helps find points of interest, specific destinations, restaurants, gas, etc. And it all worked smoothly for our judges.
MyFord Mobile: Controlling our cars, houses and lives through smartphone apps is becoming more and more common. And one of the best we have seen is MyFord Mobile, which launched with the new Ford Focus Electric. One of the Technology of the Year judges experienced one of the benefits when he locked keys in the car, and was able to unlock the doors with his phone. With the Ford Focus Electric, the app also allows the driver/owner to view the EV's remaining battery charge, control charging (this may be set to charge automatically during the cheapest utility-rate hours), remotely operate and set timers for the climate control, plan trips that get sent to the navigation system, and find charging stations.
Active Safety
In the category of active safety, the two finalists are:
Nissan Tire Pressure Alert & Refill System: Sometimes a car company hits a homerun by swinging soft and easy, and not exactly trying to hit it over the fence. That's what Nissan did in the 2012 Altima redesign when it spent a few dollars to improve something that most companies took for granted. Not only does the system tell drivers specifically which tire on the car is low and in need of air—a breakthrough compared with most vehicles that just indicates one of the four tires is low. But when the tires are being inflated, the car-horn gives off a quick burst when the tire has arrived at the proper air pressure. It was no doubt inspired by the old air pumps of yesteryear in which a driver set the air pressure desired and the pump would give off a "ding" when reached. Simple can be great.
Honda LaneWatch™: Technology of the Year judges said that while we have seen lane-watching systems come out the last few years, Honda really nailed it with its LaneWatch system that debuted on the 2013 Honda Accord sedan. A tiny camera on the passenger –side mirror can be manually or automatically activated when the right indicator is engaged. Live video then displays on the i-MID screen, and it provides a view nearly four times greater than using the passenger-side mirror alone.
Among the Technology of the Year judges are AOL Autos editor-in-chief David Kiley; Autoblog editor-in-chief John Neff; Engadget editor-in-chief Tim Stevens; AOL Autos senior editor Sharon Silke Carty; Autoblog executive editor Chris Paukert; Engadget mobile editor Myriam Joire; AOL Autos contributor Lauren (The Car Coach) Fix; and Nest CEO (and former Apple iPod development chief) Tony Fadell.

That is where I'd be inclined to gesture he pulls over for a chat re left and right lane usage.....
jmurray01 liked a post in a topic: Things I Don't Like
Ye shanks aren't hairy enoof fir the heylands?
Great if you have a spare 10k knocking about.... I'd rather double it and buy a 65 plate ST estate...
I don't like public toilets where you have to pay, I'm not experiencing the inconvenience of this 'convenience' however whilst nipping into a free one it did cross my mind that if I was busting for a s**t the last thing I'd appreciate is having to fumble through my wallet to find out I didn't have the necessary 58 and 4 9ths of a penny in order to proceed. I think I'd probably drop trou right there and face the courts......
It's one of those subjects that is difficult to discuss without sounding like a knob... To me, to pin the entire thing on a person or police is somewhat wrong... For instance there was that crash last year where a car left the road in Scotland, driver died, women was in the car for several days, eventually she died... It's tragic and there were police failings - or call handler failings... however no one seemed to want to question the cause of the accident in the first place... Yes police (I use that as a general term to incorporate call centre etc) didn't hold up their end of the deal, however had the driver not crashed in the first place nothing would have happened... A bit of a combination if you ask me... Hillsborough, ok, maybe police let too many in...but fans surely have a duty to not behave like animals, they appear to have done very little to help the situation... I dunno, as I said, I probably don't know enough about it to really be allowed to have an opinion, but I just get concerned about the money spent on finding a guy to blame for what appears to be a culmination of events leading to a tragic accident....
Ianb started following Husband/Wife main/named driver question
Husband/Wife main/named driver question
Ianb replied to Vendee's topic in Car Insurance DiscussionsIn actual fact, I think (99% sure) you've got both bits wrong - in a good way... If you're a named driver you have just as much 'right' to drive the car as the policy holder, and you can also be the policy holder on a car that is owned by someone else (or if they are the registered keeper)... So, your new car can still be registered in your name... and you can be a named driver on your wifes policy for her car and still drive it as if it's your own.... Main thing is to have two policies, 1 in your name and 1 in wifeys name as you can only use NCB on one policy (if you have 2 policies in your name). On that last point though, if you can prove NCB on another policy most insurers will offer you some sort of unnoficial 'NCB' discount...
Perhaps someone can inform me, or maybe tell me to go inform myself... But is anyone else tired of hearing about Hillsborough Hillsborough Hillsborough? Please don't think I don't care about the victims nor victims families - and perhaps not being a Liverpudlian, nor a football fan, nor aware of the worlds goings on back then, I perhaps have missed the point altogether. Does anyone know any victims or victims families etc? Is this like the whole MH370 missing plane thing to them? From where I stand in my ill informed position, seems to be the police let too many people into the stadium, then those too many people - (trying not to be unkind here), were just ill behaved and pushed to get in..... Everyone seems to be pointing fingers at the police, but like the London underground, or indeed any other tube station (I've been in a few round the world) - if s**t is full... it's full... pushing won't help... I don't know, you'd be right if you stated I wouldn't dare say that to the families.... I'm not one for trying to add to folks pain.. and I am more caring than this post probably lets on... it's just this whole court case side of things - who really won? Is everyone happy?
Hmm that's true Jamie. I was so infuriated with the garage on mine. The initial damage from the truck was actually only superficial, cracked numberplate, bit of paint and a dented bonnet... Came back from the garage with lacquer peel on the rear bumper,... they claimed not to have touched the rear bumper... a claim I disputed as the car went in dirty and came out clean.... Needless to say, it was all assumed that it was nothing to do with the garage and I was left with the problem to deal with. Told Admiral they screwed me over, was told by the guy on the phone that it's an 'old car anyway'... (late 2007, yes it's not new, but it's got some life in it yet!). Not with Admiral anymore. They were brilliant in the whole insurance side of things, such as taking my cash and providing cover... however when it came to needing them, it left a bitter taste. However, I can only assume this is more or less the same with most if not all insurance companies of all varieties...
Just don't have an accident (or have a truck hit you!) Admiral have **** garages they recommend that cause more harm than good!
Might need to ween off haha..
Wonder if that ridgeline company has spun off into paving, or whether this poor unfortunate has picked up their number instead? http://bradstone-paving.ebspages.co.uk/ Also, I noticed in the video it said their company has been established for 15 years..... oops..
Try cutting out booze for a while. You probably won't think it, or agree, but you sleep better when you haven't had any alcohol. You probably need a decent sleep.... Been there, Done that...
That is the exact reason I can never understand why people drive like morons in sign written vehicles, there is no escaping. Bad parking, speeding, undertaking etc etc. The one bunch who are the worst at the speeding and undertaking offences are this company called 'Police'... Seen them run reds, speed, even have the audacity to make people stop and tell them off! Outrageous. :p
Fault, any ideas?
Ianb replied to Ianb's topic in General Ford Related DiscussionsUpdate, at the moment the EGR is blanked, but also unpluggedas the EGR valve appears to be cream crackered... so pending a few more pennies and the exchanging of said pennies for a working valve it's going to remain that way. An engine light came on straight away after I unplugged it, so I'm assuming thats what its all about, I've not plugged in and checked yet though. Took the car for a bit of a run, acceleration is better, smoother, mpg has improved (it won't sound like much) but on a very twisty cornish A road, lots of ups and downs and turns - great drive, I was avg about 50-52mpg...speed was averaging a bit higher than that... Also one thing I'd noticed in the past was that when I reached a hill and was accelerating up it as quick as the card could go, it had this pulsating sort of feeling, like a boost of turbo then a drop, then a boost, then a drop etc. Nothing sharp or juddery, but nothing smooth. That has;as far as I'm aware, gone! Seems to be all smooth! hooray! So, not out of the woods just yet, but things are looking better...
I don't like the breakfast meatball driving a hairdressers car that felt brave enough to cut me off but not brave enough to stick around. He did everything he could (I assume was slightly surprised when I decided to keep up with him)....such as diving in the wrong lanes at traffic lights to try and get away... he even turned off a road and did a U turn.... evidently not brave enough to hear what I had to say to him.

Arlington Street
Angry Florida man with a gun turns Back Bay, cab in the South End into his own personal shooting ranges, police say
Kathleen O'Donnell spotted William Ellery Channing sporting some new shades this morning at his usual perch at the Public Garden entrance at Arlington and Boylston streets.
Shortly before noon at Arlington, now riders between Kenmore and Haymarket get to enjoy above-ground scenery in shuttle buses.
At 8:29 a.m., the MBTA tweeted:
#GreenLine: All branches: Moderate eastbound delays due to power issue.
In response to somebody's query about what exactly "moderate" means when he's been sitting on a trolley that hasn't moved in ten minutes, the T added:
Yes, we describe a "moderate" delay as a major disruption in service.
At 8:54, Andrea reported:
JB Parrett photographed a homeless man on the steps of Arlington Street Church yesterday.
Ryan Ruel looks through the gates of the Public Garden at the lights of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.
Posted under this Creative Commons license and in the Universal Hub pool on Flickr.
Photographynatalia ran across these neon girls at Arlington the other day.
Mike the Mad Biologist explains it was an attempt to cut into the business of the streetwalkers who used to ply their wares at the corner of Marlborough and Arlington in the 1970s:
People would hop off Storrow Drive and drive around the block, find, erm, a 'friend', and drive off. Not exactly the kind of tourism the city was hoping for, so the traffic pattern was changed. Hard to believe today, since the penthouse of Zero Marlborough (the corner of Arlington and Marlborough) recently went for $8.8 million.
Around 8:50 p.m., Boston firefighters and Transit Police rushed to the area of Arlington and Boylston streets after several people reported hearing a loud explosion. Cara Terez, sitting on the Rattlesnake roof deck, tweeted:
Loud LOUD explosion.
As a precaution, the T shut Green Line service as firefighters looked around on the street and in the station for the source of the boom, but they found nothing, an inbound Green Line driver reported the tunnel between Copley and Arlington was fine and service started up about 10 minutes later.
Brian D'Amico tweets police speculate a tour bus may have had an engine backfire or two.
Fire on the inbound tracks between Arlington and Copley around 7:40, Jay Joynes tweets. At first, the T shut Arlington station because of heavy smoke, but shortly after 8 a.m., it shut down all Green Line service downtown. And shortly after 8:30, the T began evacuating trolleys stuck in the tunnel near Hynes and Copley stations.
The T eventually sent in some shuttle buses between stations to the west and downtown, but many commuters didn't wait. As Gracetopia tweets:
I now feel like one of the army of the commute, as I walk from Kenmore to downtown with my fellow MBTA refugees.
Lindsay Douglas, though, was one of the people who stayed behind at Kenmore:
I've never seen chaos like this. Coldest day of the year + the MBTA shuts down the green line. Yelling+angry people.
And because misery loves company, an inbound Red Line train died not long after at Charles/MGH, Rob Grover tweets. Later, another train died at Porter. Around 9:20, another train died, inbound at Andrew.
Matt Karolian looked at a wall display at the Arlington stop on the Green Line. And then he looked closer.
Jesse Haley noticed this hawk perched at Boylston and Arlington this morning, "attracting tourists and scattering squirrels."
Or, at the least, make sure they have a hand free to keep their skirt down, due to a dramatic wind-tunnel effect, the Accidental Fiddler reports.
Police: Good Samaritan chases iPhone thief for several blocks through the Back Bay until officers arrive
MBTA Transit Police report the first arrest of the year for a smartphone theft, off a woman on a Green Line trolley at Arlington Street station yesterday afternoon.
According to a Transit Police report, Emmanuel Castro, 17, of Roxbury, grabbed an iPhone right out of a woman's hands when their inbound trolley stopped at Arlington around 2 p.m. Police say the woman chased after him from the train and then up the stairs to the street, where where she lost him. But an unidentified man, spotting the two running, figured out what was going on and began chasing Castro himself, calling police as they ran all the way to Fairfield and Beacon streets.
Police say they caught up with Castro at Fairfield and Comm. Ave. where, on a pat frisk, an officer felt something hard and pulled an Apple iPhone 4G in Castro's right front pocket. The officer then called one of the numbers on the phone and was, police say, connected to the woman's aunt.
Castro was charged with unarmed robbery.
Innocent, etc.
Pedestrians disappearing into some TriGen steam on Arlington Street this afternoon.
Boston Fire Department is on scene for a trolley fire on the outbound side. Pantograph fire is out, the train is dead, expect delays.
What a pigeon flying high over the Public Garden would see.
Developer Ron Druker has hired a new architect, who's made changes to the exterior design of his proposed nine-story, $120-million building at Boylston and Arlington streets, but the structure still has the same basic dimensions and doesn't really look all that much different, so it doesn't need to go through a new city review process, members of the Boston Civic Design Commission told nearby residents and preservationists tonight.

Carlos Ruiz eyes September return
Updated: August 17, 2012, 6:40 PM ETAssociated Press
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- All-Star catcher Carlos Ruiz expects to return to the Philadelphia Phillies by early September after being sidelined with a left foot injury.
The Phillies put Ruiz on the disabled list two weeks ago because of plantar fasciitis in the foot. Ruiz said Friday that "everything is all right" after meeting with his doctor this week.
The 33-year-old veteran was having a career year when he was injured, hitting .335 with 14 homers and 58 RBIs. Ruiz said the injury ...

Skip to comments.Obama camp tips hand on debate, hints president will attack Romney on Bain
Posted on 10/14/2012 8:17:56 PM PDT by cdchik123
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. As President Obama began to hunker down at a plush resort here for three full days of debate prep, his campaign team signaled the incumbent may steal a page from Vice President Joe Biden and show a more aggressive tone in Tuesday's second face-to-face showdown with Republican Mitt Romney.
"Gov. Romney has been making pitches all of his life and he knows how to say what people want to hear whether that was during his time at Bain or during the dozens of town halls he did during the primary," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday. "His running mate also left him vulnerable on a number of issues -- admitting there was a $5 trillion tax cut, after he denied it, but again failing to explain how they would pay for it, leaving women worried about their ability to make choices about their own health care and failing to articulate their plan for winding down our presence in Afghanistan."
It's significant that Psaki previewed the president's next clash with Romney with an immediate mention of his time at Bain, a word Obama never mentioned during the first presidential debate, in Denver.
Senior campaign adviser David Axelrod said on "Fox News Sunday" that Obama is making adjustments before the debate and plans to be more aggressive.
Axelrod also referred to Romney's investment capital career before entering politics.
We expect Governor Romney will have a great debate too," he said. "He is a great salesman. That is what he did as a professional, he is very good at it.
Later Sunday, Psaki noted women's health-care issues were left out of the first debate, which appeared to suggest Obama would raise the topic this time.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Romney could ask why a tweet came from the state dept in bengazi asserting apology for an offensive video - but there was no video.
Why was such a tweet sent?
See if Romney was smart, he would take a page from Ronald Reagan and simply look into the camera and say to the American People, "My opponent is simply trying to come off in this debate now as something he has not been for the last 4 years and that is a leader!"
I'll wager that the bamster will come off as a snide, arrogant, condescending pr!ck which is exactly what he is. This won't help his "likeability" with normal Americans. Of course, the dhimmocritters will love it.
Romney will counter Bain with the success and employment numbers of Staples and Home Depot, etc. Obama will lose the argument.
The Bain issue did not work in the TV ads and now if obama brings them up, Romney will have an opportunity to fully explain the purpose of Bain and venture capitol as well as answer bogus charges.
I really wish obama wouldn't waste our time talking about a business that Governor Romney left long ago. I want to hear about issues, won't change my mind, but I still want to hear it.
I bet that Obama comes out swinging, but all he's going to connect with is air.
It will make him look petty and ridiculous.
And nobody will buy it, so long as Mitt stays on message. Let Obama look like the unpleasant, incompetent fool he REALLY is.
I hope Mitt's own handlers have prepped him well.If so, this could be the K.O.
Joshua Bekenstein [EO of BAIN] sure loves to give money to Dems
I would imagine Mitt knows this if even I could find in 10 minutes.
I agree but Romney will have to make sure he can condense all the pertinent facts in two minutes. The communists monitor will be sure to cut him off if he is doing a good job.
There are mountains of dirt to dump on Obama. Oh that Romney would do it.
I agree but Romney will have to make sure he can condense all the pertinent facts in two minutes. The communists monitor will be sure to cut him off if he is doing a good job.
Huckabee just said he takes umbrage at hte fact that the msm and htose surrounding obama are willing to do ANYTHING regardless of how dispicable or how dishonest it is in order to protect obama
Bam! Mitt NEEDS to immediately confront obama abotu hte FACT that had it been a republican president i nthe white house who said that they 'were unaweare of the need for more security in Libya' that the left woudl be screamign to have that president thrown out of office for incompetence, and ask obama why it is that he gets to go through his presidency with his head i nthe clouds, unaware of what's goign on around him- and hten ask him how an out of touch president stacks up agaisnt the FACT that Bain did the firing and not him? Years after he left no less?
I really hope mitt hammers obama o nthe FACT that obama is absent durign his presidency and is mroe cocnerned abotu doing talk shows and palying and partying, than he is in runnign htis coutnry
Huckabee hit the nail on the head with his comment tonight- gthe media is beign SEVERELY derilect and is willing to help this president LIE to the american peopel in order to protect him- Newt then follwoede up said it was despicable of biden to LIE to the american peopel abotu what hte white house or didn't know-
Hopefully Mitt can be as direct and blunt as newt and miek were tongiht! People NEED to wake up to the FACT that their president is MIA and has been for 4 years and that the msm has been coverign up ghis incompetence and even helping him to lie to us!
You can definitely see why the democrats have the jackass as there symbol.
Romney will never get two minutes uninterrupted. Lefterator Crowley will make sure of that if Obama doesn't. Mitt better explain it in 30 seconds.
If Mitt can express his willingness to work with the people's representatives to get things done as well as spread American ideals across the planet he will pull in the rest of the independents.
Obama can't get nothing done and everyone knows it.
Ya gotta love the fact they are calling Romney a "salesman"... I'm sure all the sales folks out there appreciate that.
Romney should ask the bomber some questions about the murdering child molester.
Excellent post.
Hey Candy-breath!
That @$$ makes your dress look fat.
So simple to counter. Romney lists all the successful companies and the number of people they employ and how he helped found or save them, and then lists all of the green companies that went bankrupt after Obama funded them.
"Mr. President, I have an established record of picking successful companies, and you have a record of picking losers."
End of Bain attack.
Typing fast I see...
" which appeared to suggest Obama would raise the topic this time."
I thought the moderators picked the topics and questions, not the candidates. Am I being naive? The debates are a fair and open exchange of ideas, right?
Romney should remind Obama that Obama's top bundler ran Bain capital.
Bain would be a losing issue for Obama if the debate primarily stayed on that issue.
Video: Bain vs Solyndra: FACT vs FICTION:
Well, Hillary referred to Herman Cain as a 'pizza guy' to Karzai.
They think that referring to hardworking Americans by their jobs is a bad thing.
So out of touch.
CottShop: You may want to try spell check next time. :-)
Re: 0bama camp tips hand on debate ( see post 10) http://ow.ly/etdbU @ggitcho @andreamsaul @EvanYost2012

Friendly territory or not?
Has TOTUS been briefed? Is TOTUS invited?
Love it.
Howdy Doody aka Obabaa, should do very well against Romney if his ventrilogist can feed Obabaa his lines via hidden mechanism of some sort.
But Obabaa on his own? Probably do as well as he did in "Harvard" or whatever the school he may or may not have attended physically if not mentally.

Axelrod needs to be thoroughly vetted as to his family background and family name change and family roots going back to Russian bolshevik days. Someone was telling communists in Russia in the 1980s that a fellow named Obama of a white mother was being groomed to be POTUSA. What bothers me very much about all this unknown stuff about Obama is that so many persons, 47%?, are willing to sell our Founders' Constitutional government for the proverbial pieces of welfare silver.
Romney could ask Obama how much has 'occupywallstreet' cost cities and states? He could call it Obama's community activism.
Trying to make him spend time preparing for stuff that will not be a part of it.
Romney needs to prepare like last time and what ever comes up handle it and he will be just fine.
My two cents
Nah, no need to needlessly inflame. It would be better to ask Obama if he believes that the 10 Commandments are still applicable, such as, bearing false witness, or that one about coveting, or stealing, or murder.
Toooo bad there is no requirement to have drug tests before presidential debates.
Agreed. But Romney is the kind of guy who goes into these things with every base covered, I think.
I've never been tweeted...or twittered or whatever, before.
WHY? He has NO teleprompter and will be FORCED to think on his feet.
It'll be equivilent to Jethro Bodine ( Beverly Hillbillies ) debating Steven Hawking.
I think it would serve a purpose if Romney were able to draw out the jihadist from Obama.
Besides, They declared war on us, opening themselves up to counter attack, including derision and mockery. Inflame on.
This is a no-brainer.. Romney counters with Solyndra. That in and of itself would've landed Nixon not only impeached, but prosecuted and imprisoned. The details of Solyndra ALONE would shut 0bama down.. If Crowley would let Romney finish explaining it, that is.
Yes, there are mountains of dirt of Omuslim.
Just the tip of the iceberg:
Obamas books:
In a sane world, having the following comments out in print via Obamas racist books would have knocked him out of the running for president of the United States.(they would have crucified a white candidate for far less)
From Dreams from My Father, I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHERS RACE. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams from my Father,The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN, AND APART. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams from My Father:THAT HATE HADNT GONE he wrote, BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams from My Father,There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs, he wrote.It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names Barack Hussein Obama
Dreams From My Father, page 101 (paperback, ISBN 978-1-4000-8277-3)
Dreams From My Father: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feministsDreams From My Father, pages 99-100
Then there is his love of Islam:
Quote from Barack Obamas book, Dreams Of My Father:
THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM.
From Dreams of my Father,IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL..I STUDIED THE KORAN..
From Audacity of Hope:LOLO (Obamas step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE.
From The Audacity Of Hope,I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..
From The Audacity Of Hope,WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.
Dont believe it? Think these comments taken out of context? Here it all here in his own works;
Still need convincing?

P.S. GM's shareholders getting SCREWED is another stand-alone counter punch. Or dealership shutdowns, too.
Have you read this? Now I can give this no credibility, but someone posted this on FR last week. IF this is true, then it tells a story about this unknown video and why Obama advertised it like he did. Doesn't the world think the film maker is a Coptic Christian... well what if he is NOT?
Bush was supposed be thrown off or rendered mute or something. Bush simply glanced at him, nodded, and finished his thought. Suddenly Gore was stuck out there, like a guy peeing in an empty parking lot, who had been hit by headlights with his schvanzstucker in his hand.
I will be looking for a similar moment on Tuesday. Obama isn't intelligent enough to reject some goofing theater by his "Masters." Dims aren't nearly as bright as they think they are.
Word has it, though, that Candy Crowley sees this as her chance to join the Pulitzer Pantheon with her "hard hitting" monopoly of the Townhall forum. She figures, apparently, if she can skewer Romney and pitch softballs to her God, she can get a million an episode from whatever network is smart enough to hire her.
Two Words for Romney for his Defense: Fredrico Pena
He is Obammy's Campaign manager and he is a "Vulture capitalist" too..

Historical Traveler Reviews Albion Manor Bed and Breakfast Victoria
The Perfect B&B
We just returned from a four night stay at Albion Manor. As other posters have said, Don and Fernando are gracious and charming hosts, the breakfasts are amazing and will tide you over until at least mid afternoon, and the location is excellent.
We stayed in a room with a huge canopy bed that was so comfortable. The room was tastefully furnished with antiques and had an interesting selection of books to read (nice touch!). We had our own private little balcony with wisteria growing over the top, which was just beautiful in the mornings. All in all, we found it to be the perfect B&B and if we return to Victoria, we will no doubt stay there again.
Wonderful hosts, gourmet breakfasts, lovely accommodations
Don and Fernando were charming and delightful hosts! Don made exquisite and beautiful breakfasts each morning. I have never had anything so amazingly moist, light and airy as Don's lemon-ricotta pancakes. The heavenly pears were divine and the Spanish peaches were muy delicioso! Fernando entertained and educated us with stories about art, architecture, European history, and travel adventures. We greatly enjoyed talking and laughing together.
We stayed in the carriage house, which gave us more room for two adults and a full grown German Shepherd Dog. It's a charming little house, complete with a kitchenette, dining area, cozy living room, bedroom and private bath. My only disappointment was that we had a shower stall and not a luscious bath tub like many of the rooms in the main house. But the extra space and privacy in the carriage house was very nice for us. We will definitely stay here again!
The location of the b&b is within walking distance of the Coho Ferry and the Victoria Clipper docks, but is in a quiet, residential neighborhood. The Albion Manor has it all -- charming hosts, great food, lovely rooms, and a great location.
Karen, Ivette & Dakota -- April 2007
All I can say is ...Wow !!
What can I say ?? Albion Manor is a class act on all levels. From the wonderful artwork on the walls to the antiques to the to-die-for breakfasts......Oh my !!! Albion is a wonderful mansion in the heart of Vicotria, within a few blocks of downtown and the inner harbor, and surrounded by great restaurants. The owners are first class and truly enjoy the visitors in their home. I have recommended it to my triends and I know you'll love it too !!
Location, food, and hosts ...... wonderful visit
This was the second visit for myself and my friend to Ryan's/Albion Manor. It's location is ideal for visiting Victoria. Just a few blocks away from the Harbor on a quiet tree lined street. Perfect for a nice stroll to anywhere within the downtown area.
Hosts Don and Fernando were friendly and informative, eager to share their art filled home with you.
We enjoyed delicious breakfasts, especially Don's scones yum...... You did not need to eat again till later in the evening! We had a great time meeting people from all over the place and learning about their lives and hometowns. These are the unique experiences we found that you get staying at a B&B. We have no doubt we'll be back again!
So Special!
We have stayed with Don and Fernado three visits. My husband and I love Victoria. The last visit I took my mom. She was fascinated by all the unique art around the house and learned that Fernando made most of it, while Don is quite a collector as well. The B&B is comfortable, clean and cozy. The breakfasts are wonderful as well as the conversations with their unique range of guests.
I couldn't give them a higher recommendation!
Enjoy your stay.
Lauren, Los Angeles
Loved this place
There was beauty and comfort everywhere we looked at Ryan's Bed and Breakfast (renamed: The Albion Manor), hosted by the incredibly gracious Don and Fernando. Don's cooking was elegant and delicious. Fernando, a professional artist, has filled the very comfortable common rooms with his whimsical and beautiful paintings and sculptures, and no detail is spared in every room which is full of period detail, personality and did I mention comfort? Big beds, sumptuous coverings, even good books at the bedside...
Fun and Funky
A charming place with lots of ambience, Victorian-esqu feelings. The group breakfast was fun and delicious, the place settings very elegant and British, the guests you meet inquisitive and world travelers... All combined to give you a great visit. The hosts Don and Fernando are friendly and outgoing. .. The gardens are lovely to sit in and gaze at... The B&B is located close to the wharf for sightseeing and nightlife... The rooms are all decorated and furnished artistically different. There are numerous art pieces throughout the house, most of them done by Fernando himself. He's glad to give you a tour (if you are interested!) and explain what his art represents and what it was that inspired him...
All in all, a fantastic experience. I would definetly stay here again when I visit in the future. Thanks Don and Fernando!
Enjoyable stay at Albion House
Our stay at the Albion House was very enjoyable. Don and Fernando were gracious hosts. The food was fabulous and the art tour was extremely entertaining. The garden was inviting and spacious. Would love to come back!
Fine Art in a Fine Home
This was our second trip to BC and our second stay at Ryans and Darren and myself.
The previous owners did a fine job and the B&B experience was excellent, so much so that we decided to come again! The new owners are however determined not to be outdone and making their own mark on this business.
The house is a wonderful period building with some lovely public areas within which the owners display some wonderful art pieces (if you ask nicely I am sure that they will give you a tour!) and some equally delightful guest rooms. Conveniently located in a quiet street just a short walk from the inner harbour and parliament buildings, Ryans makes an excellent base for visit to Victoria.
What about the Bed and the Breakfast? Well the Bed was very comfortable as was the rest of the room and the breakfast was a very enjoyable affair with nice food and friendly hosts and fellow guests.
If you want a friendly B&B rather than a faceless hotel then I would whole heartedly recommend Ryans.
8 Thumbs Way Up for Ryan's BB at Albion House!
This was our first B & B stay ever and now I can't wait to go back there! We were traveling with our 2 kids ages 5 and 7 and our hosts were extremely accomodating. Don made exquisite breakfasts and Fernando was a wonderful server. They were kind hosts, I just can't say enough good things about them. Our room (#8) had a very comfortable bed. I am amazed at how clean the clear glass shower doors were.
Fernando gave a a tour of the home and all its fascinating history. They recently took over this B&B and are in the process of changing the name to Albion House or Albion Manor. They have added their own unique style of art which must to be seen with Fernando's guided tour to fully appreciate.
The house is in an excellent location- just a couple blocks from the ferries. There is a mini-mart just a block away in case you forgot anything.
When we plan more vacations in other cities, we will consider booking a B and B again; my concern now is that they will have a hard time matching this wonderful time we had at Ryan's B and B at Albion house!

India appeared to have narrowly escaped its Commonwealth Games crisis last night as a number of key nations took a leap of faith and committed themselves to flying to Delhi and participating in the competition.
While intense concerns remained both over security and the conditions inside the athletes' village – images released yesterday from inside the apartments showed filthy bathrooms and stained bedspreads – the English and Welsh teams announced they would be participating.
The Scottish squad said it had been heartened by developments in India over the past 48 hours and is this morning expected to announce it will travel to India. A reported 1,500 workers have been sent to the Games village to clean up the accommodation blocks that that the Scottish team had previously described as "unfit for human habitation".
An advance party of the English team was due to arrive in Delhi last night while Kenya announced its 240-strong squad would start arriving from tomorrow, having received security assurances from the Indian authorities. South African athletes are also coming to India as scheduled.
England's team organisers said in a statement last night that their concerns were being met, meaning that the athletes would travel: "Commonwealth Games England and its 17 member sports today unanimously agreed that they will go to the Delhi Games."
A spokesman for the Scottish team, Jon Doig said: "We are heartened that [Delhi chief minister] Sheila Dikshit has personally taken control of the situation and ensuring that the necessary additional resources are brought in, including support from the Delhi hoteliers association to address standards of cleanliness and hygiene and oversee quality control."
He added: "Things are looking much better. Therefore subject to a number of assurances from the organising committee being realised over the next 24 hours, we feel we will be in a position to confirm [on Friday] that our team will travel as scheduled on Saturday."
The Wales team said: "We are confident in the assurances that have been provided. The advance party will now be moving into our accommodation and we look forward to welcoming our athletes in the coming days."
Ten days before the games are due to start there is lots that could still go wrong. Another accident like the collapsing footbridge this week or an incident like the shooting of two foreign tourists last weekend, could yet persuade many individual athletes, or even entire teams, not to participate.
Security remains a major concern. Bob Nicholls, a South African security specialist who has worked with the Indian Premier League cricket tournament and who will be advising organisers of the cricket world cup in India next year, said the longer work took to complete the facilities the more difficult it was to secure them. "Security is one aspect of the Games that has been a concern all along. You can only create a sterile zone once all the building work is completed and the delays make it very, very difficult to do that.
"It is more difficult to keep it secure when you have large numbers of people coming in and out of the venues," he said. "Because of what the games represent, they are always going to be a potential target. Wherever it is held there will be a certain threat level." Asked about the scale of the security problem, he replied: "It will be a huge challenge."
A number of training areas and reception facilities also remain incomplete and so-called "beautification", the effort to smarten up those parts of Delhi most likely to be seen by visitors, is way off schedule. Yet the fear that the games themselves could be cancelled appears to have eased. Taken collectively, the individual threats raised by various countries that they might cancel their involvement appears to have kicked the very highest levels of the Indian establishment into action.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last night chaired an emergency meeting of his cabinet while Commonwealth Games Federation chairman, Mike Fennell, arrived in the city for meetings.
