It would seem the other shoe has dropped and the Japan auto companies which consumers have always said built bullet proof auto's are now on the receiving end of millions of recalls for poor quality parts. Check out how many auto's affect which manufactures.
Lithium ion battery maker A123 Systems today said it has sold its automotive business to Johnson Controls and is filing for bankruptcy protection.
The moves are a change in strategy for the ailing Waltham, MA-based company, which in August said it will sell an 80 percent share to the auto parts division of Chinese conglomerate Wanxiang for $450 million.
Johnson Controls will acquire a significant set of assets for its $125 million investment, some of which were paid with federal aid. A123 Systems’ auto business includes its technology, two battery factories in Michigan, a cathode powder manufacturing facility in China, and A123’s stake in two auto parts suppliers in China. Johnson Controls also will put up $72.5 million so A123 can maintain operations during the sale.

You said it more economically than I did. -
I believe the orange pieces are indications of high voltage cables, so beware of them. Haha -

I probably need to back up and watch it sometime. Everyone has heard about it, but I've yet to see it. On the "to do" list. -

Amazing musician, if he is a doctor, WOW, he also could have been a Performer, love the song and the movie. Phantom of the Opera is a very soul moving movie imho. His other covers are equally amazing. -

First, I had a little bit of video from violinists on the QM2 playing various pieces of music. I relayed this passage, which sounded familiar, to friends who couldn't peg what it was because the video was a short segment where I was also panning the fairly grandiose Queen's Room. Finally, someone pegged it and said it was something important from "Phantom of the Opera" ... nothing I'd care to sit through. At any rate, I found one musician also covering "All I Ask of You" on a violin. This YouTube can really make a person appreciate this instrument, this instrumental piece, and the precision needed to pull this off. The musician is a young doctor, from what I can glean through the "about" info, and plays the violin to relax. He does incredible work!
