Toyota surprises 50 millionth U.S. customer with a new RAV4

Michael Dee, a New York police officer of 20 years, joined tens of thousands of Americans in buying a new Toyota Camry earlier this year. This otherwise unremarkable transaction turned out to be a milestone of sorts — the 50 millionth car Toyota has sold in the United States since it opened its first dealership in Hollywood, Calif., in 1958.
To mark that rollover of its odometer, Toyota executives decided to surprise Dee at his home in suburban New York. With some help from Dee's family, Toyota's U.S. sales chief Bill Fay got some balloons, put on his best suit and strolled into Dee's backyard barbecue with a couple of gifts, including something shiny parked in Dee's driveway. Yes, it's a bit of a marketing ploy, but no company gets 50 million customers without knowing how to make them happy.

What AFK in FFXIV is and why it is a problem.

Empiren Posted 8/26/2013 7:41:53 PM message detail Away from keyboard(AFK). In FFXIV this doesn't mean you take a 30minute break for whatever. No, in FFXIV, you are going to sleep, going to work, doing whatever it is you do for the entire day, while leaving your character inside the server taking up a position. This is a problem because: 1. The servers are population locked and there isn't a que, nor are there afk timers. 2. Therefore any player in there is taking a spot in the population list 1/100000 3. Then the percent of people afk but not playing therefore lock out the people who would naturally get in the game due to them leaving.(logging off). 4. So naturally people adapt and just leave there characters there until they get back. Therefore making the percentage of AFK people grow, locking more and more of the natural player percentage out while the server becomes full of more and more afk players. It will essentially scar or at least annoy this game'

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here.
