ST. LOUIS (AP) — A special legislative committee investigating Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens says it will release its report Wednesday.
A news release from the Missouri House says the House Special Investigative Committee on Oversight is scheduled to release its findings at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The investigation is a potential precursor to impeachment proceedings.
The Republican governor is charged with felony invasion of privacy and awaits trial next month. He's accused of taking and transmitting a nonconsensual photo of a woman with whom he had an affair while she was partially nude.
The woman says Greitens threatened to make the photo public if she ever revealed the affair that happened in 2015, before Greitens was elected.
A judge has issued a partial gag order for attorneys and witnesses in the criminal case against Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens.
St. Louis Circuit Judge Rex Burlison issued the order Tuesday in response to a request from Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner. Gardner expressed concern that Greitens' attorneys were trying the case in the media.
The Republican governor is charged with invasion of privacy for allegedly taking a compromising photo without the consent of a woman he was having an affair with in 2015, before he was elected.
Burlison's order does not prohibit attorneys from speaking about public information in the case, but prohibits comments related to deposition material, opinions about what witnesses might testify to and other speculative issues. The ruling also will require the judge to sign off on certain court filings before they're made public.

Visiting the Forgotten Pyramids of Abu Sir
Egypt / April 8, 2020 December 12, 2020 / Ancient Egypt, Archaeology, Pyramids
The pyramid field of Abu Sir is situated in the desert between Giza and Saqqara, right next to the modern village of the same name. The Abu Sir pyramids are synonymous with the 5th Dynasty – a group of rulers who tried, but couldn't quite recapture the splendor of their predecessors. Be that as it may, the mysterious site has plenty of surprises in store for those who manage to visit.
Several pyramids were initiated at Abu Sir ('Place of Osiris'), but only three remain standing. Despite postdating the pyramids of Giza by several decades, the Abu Sir pyramids look like mounds of rubble in comparison. While these pyramids were much smaller to begin with, the site has also been victim to looting and quarrying since its foundation in the 25th century BC.
Pyramids aside, Abu Sir is home to the most elaborate and unique mastaba ever built for a non-royal in the Old Kingdom. The pharaohs' funerary temples, meanwhile, demonstrate some impressive and highly advanced stoneworking techniques. And fascinatingly, as we'll go over below, the entire site was laid out in careful alignment with the Sun Temple of Heliopolis.
The Origins of the 5th Dynasty
Those familiar with the pyramids of Giza will know that each one is credited to a different king of the 4th Dynasty. And the last and smallest of the pyramids was built by a pharaoh named Menkaure.
Menkaure, however, wasn't quite the last king of his line. A pharaoh named Shepseskaf succeeded him, but he didn't even build a pyramid. Instead, he only constructed a flat mastaba-style tomb for himself in the southern part of Saqqara. And that marked the end of what's arguably Egypt's greatest ever dynasty.
But before moving on, it's worth noting that the numbered dynasty system we use today was first conceived of by priest and historian Manetho in the 3rd century BC. He looked back at Egyptian history and divided it up based on major cultural shifts or technological innovations. Unlike the dynasties of China, for example, most of the Egyptian dynasties were of the same royal bloodline.
Userkaf, the 'founder' of the 5th Dynasty, therefore, was related to the builders of Giza and would've considered himself their direct descendant (he was possibly one of Menkaure's sons). But rather than build at Giza, he founded a brand new site. In addition to his pyramid at Saqqara, he also built a Sun Temple in the empty desert of Abu Sir.
This was likely done to strengthen his link with Egypt's most prominent center of Sun worship at the time, Heliopolis (now situated in the Al Matariyyah district in northern Cairo).
Interestingly, his temple in Abu Sir was at the southernmost point on the Nile's west bank that would've been directly visible from Heliopolis. Furthermore, when viewed from Heliopolis, Abu Sir is where the star Canopus could be seen setting over the horizon.
While Userkaf did not build a pyramid at Abu Sir, his successors would continue to use the site for their various construction projects over the next several generations. It wasn't until the reign of the last 5th Dynasty king, Unas, that focus would shift back to Saqqara.
Userkaf
All that remains of the Sun Temple at Heliopolis
At the time of writing, the Abu Sir pyramids are officially closed to the general public, and have been for many years now. Check below for some suggestions on how to arrange a visit.
The Pyramid of Sahure
The closest pyramid to the entrance of Abu Sir is Pharaoh Sahure's. It's also the first pyramid built here but, as mentioned, Userkaf's Sun Temple to the north preceded it.
As the Sun cult grew increasingly prominent during the 5th Dynasty, all pharaohs who built pyramids at Abu Sir incorporated 'Re' into their names.
And Re's (also spelled Ra) main center of worship was the Sun Temple of Heliopolis, located some 40 km north of Memphis. Over the generations, the builders at Abu Sir would work hard to align their constructions with this temple.
The causeway is currently undergoing excavations
Though largely in ruins today, Sahure's pyramid had a long causeway stretching from its eastern end all the way to Abu Sir Lake – long since dried up.
Back in the 25th century BC, the causeway would've been entirely lined on either side with carved reliefs – possibly up to 10,000 square meters of them!
Much of what survives, however, is now kept at museums in foreign countries. But that may be for the best, as the entire Abu Sir complex was incessantly plundered by local villagers for its limestone for many years. The Tura limestone was burnt and the lime was then used in cement and fertilizer.
The closest likeness to Sahure's causeway would be the Unas Causeway in nearby Saqqara, though not a whole lot remains there, either.
Some surviving reliefs on display at the Cairo Museum
Reaching the end of the causeway, visitors enter Sahure's mortuary temple. By the entrance are two beautiful pillars of rose granite which still stand after thousands of years. In total, there were originally sixteen of them, all carved to resemble palm trees.
Over to the right is a long slab of granite on which you can spot the royal name of Sahure encircled in a cartouche.
The floor, meanwhile, consists of irregularly shaped slabs of basalt. As we can also see at Giza, basalt was commonly used in the floors of these funerary temples. But overall, Sahure used a wide variety of stone at his complex, including granite, limestone and alabaster.
Though today it might just appear as rubble, archaeologists who've reconstructed the original building plans on paper have determined the temple to be an architectural masterpiece.
Not only were the carved reliefs (now missing) stunning, but the harmonic proportions of the temple would've had a profound visual impact. As such, Shaure's mortuary complex set the standard for the remainder of the 5th and 6th Dynasties.
The original temple would've had altars and other areas to place all sorts of ceremonial offerings, in addition to drainage pipes for the holy water.
Also notice the small alabaster stairway, which supposedly led to a room in which statues of the king were placed in niches. There was also a small satellite pyramid placed at the southeast corner, though it's hardly detectable today.
But what about the pyramid itself? Despite the extravagance of the mortuary temple, it's clear at first glance that from the 5th Dynasty onward, the pharaohs had to cut corners when it came to pyramid building. Were they short of material or labor? Or did the engineering techniques of Giza somehow get lost in just a few generations?
Sahure's pyramid consists of limestone blocks significantly smaller than those used at Giza. With the outer casing has been stripped away, we can see that the pyramid's core is a five-tiered step pyramid held together with mud mortar.
The pyramid's entrance is on its north side. While inaccessible today, the interior consists of a straight entrance tunnel leading directly to the burial chamber in the pyramid's center.
The chamber was lined with massive limestone blocks, some weighing as much as 275 tons! Clearly, despite the relatively shoddy construction of the main pyramid, the pharaohs didn't hold back when it came to their burial chambers.
Unfortunately, most of these stones are broken, possibly due to an earthquake. And nothing but a single fragment was found of the original basalt sarcophagus.
Ti, whose tomb can be visited at Saqqara, was overseer of the Abu Sir pyramids
The Mastaba of Ptahshepses
In addition to its pyramids, Abu Sir is also known for having one of the most elaborate and unique mastabas of the Old Kingdom. Notably, it wasn't even constructed for royalty, but for a highly respected vizier of the 5th Dynasty named Ptahshepses.
In addition to being vizier to Nyussere (more on his pyramid below), Ptashepses also married the pharaoh's daughter. Moreover, he was also the barber and manicurist of the king – a highly coveted position because only a trusted few could get so physically close.
In front of the entrance are two large columns resembling lotuses. This may be the very first example of this style of column in ancient Egypt – one that would be used for the next few thousand years. The columns have recently been restored, but the originals were carved from a single piece of limestone.
Inside the door are a series of chapels with various painted reliefs of Ptahshepeses and his family. But this section was inaccessible during my visit, and so my explorations started from the back.
The far western section of the mastaba was once home to a collection of treasuries and granaries. These storerooms were repeatedly plundered long ago, perhaps as early as the New Kingdom era. Today, nothing but some piles of rocks remain.
One of the most peculiar aspects of the mastaba is what's known as the 'Boat Chamber' in the southwestern section. In ancient Egypt, royalty was commonly buried near a boat which was symbolic of the soul's resurrection. The soul of the deceased, it was believed, rode on a barque through the netherworld before (ideally) ascending to the sky.
There are not only a couple of boat pits outside of Ptahshepses' tomb, but the 'Boat Chamber' within the mastaba resembles a boat itself. This is highly unusual considering Ptahshepses' non-royal status.
Though not yet a major issue in the 5th Dynasty, it was the gradual rise in status of non-royals in Old Kingdom Egypt that eventually led to the period's decline.
Next, I walked over to the central courtyard. While the entire mastaba is open to the elements now, this particular area was designed that way from the beginning.
There are twenty limestone pillars in total, with Ptahshepses portrayed on each of them. Supposedly, there would've been an altar in the middle so that relatives could come and make offerings to the deceased.
Around the room, I also noticed some large slabs lying around, entirely covered in hieroglyphs.
One of the most unique aspects of the tomb is its burial chamber. While it's located at a lower level, you can get a clear view of it from the ground floor, almost as if you were looking over a balcony.
Originally, of course, the burial chamber would've been closed to the elements and also separated from the higher levels.
The chamber is accessible by crawling down a steep and narrow tunnel. Once you make it down, you'll encounter two granite sarcophagi. The larger one belongs to Ptahshepses himself and remains in great condition. The smaller one, with its lid destroyed, belongs to his wife.
Oddly, it seems as if there is an additional interior layer of stone within the princess's sarcophagus – made not of granite but limestone.
(It's a real shame, by the way, to find trash in just about every deserted tomb in Egypt. Though after several days you become somewhat desensitized to it.)
The Pyramids of Nyussere & Neferirkare
There are two other major pyramids still standing at Abu Sir that were built after Sahure's. Let's start by looking at that of Neferirkare, Sahure's immediate successor.
We'll cover the mortuary temples of both further down below. They were originally situated just next to each other, and given the temples' ruined state, it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
Pyramid of Neferirkare
Neferirkare ruled for 20 years, from around 2446-2426 BC, and his pyramid is the largest at Abu Sir. It originally stood at 70 meters high, making it slightly taller than Menkaure's pyramid at Giza (65 meters). But today the ruined pyramid only stands at around 52 meters.
The exposed core reveals a six-tiered step pyramid – one higher than that of Sahure's. It bears a striking resemblance to Djoser's Step Pyramid, which is clearly visible across the desert (see below). In any case, the builders eventually filled it in to make a 'true' pyramid.
Neferirkare's pyramid is situated southwest of Sahure's, and for a very deliberate reason. As the southeast corners of the three Giza pyramids align to form a direct line pointing at Heliopolis, the 5th Dynasty rulers attempted something similar.
At Abu Sir, the northwest corners of Sahure and Neferirkare's pyramids also line up to point straight at Heliopolis. The trend would continue with the next ruler, Raneferef, who'd build another pyramid further southwest of Neferirkare's. But his pyramid was never finished and is hardly even discernible today (more below).
For more info on the alignments of the pyramids along with some helpful diagrams, check out this fascinating research by archaeoastronomer Giulio Magli.
Pyramid of Nyussere
What's especially notable about Nyussere's pyramid is that it wasn't built along the 'Abu Sir diagonal' established by his predecessors. Instead, it was constructed southeast of his father's pyramid. But careful study reveals that Nyussere didn't choose this location at random.
Nyussere's pyramid may not be aligned with Heliopolis, but the southeast corner of his pyramid aligns perfectly with the southeast corners his predecessor's pyramids, Neferirkare and Raneferef.
It's also possible that Nyussere compensated for his pyramid's lack of alignment with Heliopolis by building a brand new Sun Temple to the north at Abu Gorab. This temple would've been visible from Heliopolis at the time.
What's more is that the Sun Temple of Abu Gorab, when aligned with the southeast corner of Nyussere's pyramid, forms a straight line which passes right through the original Sun Temple of Userkaf!
Abu Sir provides us with a fascinating glimpse into the sacred geography of the ancient Egyptians. They clearly went to great lengths to link new constructions with already existing ones, even when natural geography got in the way.
The Funerary Complexes
As mentioned, the funerary temples of Neferirkare and Nyussere are situated just next to one another. And as they appear today, one blends seamlessly into the next. There's even evidence that Nyussere took over Neferirkare's unfinished causeway and valley temple.
As with Sahure's mortuary temple, these are fascinating to visit and in spite of their ruined state, reveal a high level of stoneworking technology.
Walking around the area, you'll find floors of both alabaster and basalt. Rather uniquely, the walls of Nyussere's causeway were also lined on either side with basalt.
It's also possible that the large blocks of stone in front of Nyussere's pyramid could be precursors to the pylons of later Egyptian temples. There are also many pits dug into the ground, though it's unclear what their original purpose or function was.
There's really a lot to see here, especially for old stone enthusiasts. Lots of imagination is required, however, to picture how this area might've originally looked.
Interestingly, in contrast to the wide variety of stone used throughout the temples, the court and entrance hall in front of Neferirkare's pyramid are comprised of mudbrick.
Elsewhere Around Abu Sir
The Abu Sir pyramids and Mastaba of Ptahshepses are undoubtedly the highlights of the area. But thousands of years ago, there would've been a lot more standing here. Archaeological excavations are still being carried out regularly, and it's been determined that Abu Sir was once home to quite a few more tombs and even additional pyramids.
The Southern Necropolis
As much of the southern portion of Abu Sir is currently being excavated, I only viewed it from a distance. But numerous important members of the royal household were once buried here.
One of the notable constructions is the former pyramid and mortuary temple of Khentkaus. Not only does she bear the same name as the Khentkaus of Giza, but the official titles were exactly the same as well!
Archaeologists originally thought that it must be the same woman, but the timelines don't match up. This one, now commonly referred to as Khentkaus II, was likely Neferirkare's wife.
The ruined mortuary temple of Queen Khentkaus II
Queen Khentkaus II's pyramid
As mentioned, the Egyptians went to great lengths to align new monuments with older ones. Egyptologist Mark Lehner points out that the Pyramid of Khentkaus II forms a straight line when connected with both the satellite pyramid of Dahshur to the south and with Queens' Pyramids at Giza!
The southern necropolis contains various mastabas and tombs
The unfinished pyramid of Raneferef
A statue of Raneferef
Also around here is the above-mentioned Pyramid of Raneferef, situated southwest of Neferirkare's pyramid. While likely never finished, its northwest corner aligns with Neferirkare and Sahure's pyramids to point straight at Heliopolis.
There's a whole lot more currently being uncovered by the Czech Institute of Egyptology, which you can learn more about in this lecture.
Another highlight of Abu Sir's southern area is the clear view of Djoser's Step Pyramid from across the desert. Likewise, Saqqara, especially the area near the Serapeum, offers great views of Abu Sir from a distance.
Just as Djoser's Step Pyramid can be seen by looking south from Abu Sir, the northern area offers clear views of the Giza pyramids. And from here, one can't help but notice the glaring contrasts between the 4th and 5th Dynasty pyramids.
As discussed, the 5th Dynasty kings were of the same bloodline as Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. But strangely, it seems as if the pyramid construction techniques were not passed down from one era to the next.
Egyptian art and temple architecture, on the other hand, would carry on unhindered throughout the dynasties. So why not pyramid construction? (This topic is discussed at greater length here.)
Exploring the western area in between the pyramids of Neferirkare and Sahure, I came across this construction of limestone and mudbrick. I'm not entirely sure what it is and it doesn't appear on any maps. But it just goes to show how much there is to discover around Abu Sir.
Northeast of Sahure's pyramid, there's supposed to be the ruins of yet another unfinished pyramid, though hardly any stone remains.
The Sun Temple of Userkaf
Even further northeast is a rather unremarkable pile of stones, but this is where it all began: Userkaf's Sun Temple.
And by walking even further north through the desert, one eventually arrives at a site called Abu Gorab, home to the Sun Temple of Nyussere. Thankfully, it remains in a much better state of preservation. But that's a landmark we will save for another time.
Visiting Abu Sir
While we almost always cover locations that are accessible to the general public, this is a rare exception. Despite Abu Sir mysteriously appearing on the government's official price list, the site is officially closed to the public. And it's been that way for quite a few years, apparently.
There are a few ways you can gain entry, however. One would be to apply for official permission through the Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism, but expect to pay a hefty fee.
Recently, more and more group tours are including Abu Sir on their itineraries, so try booking one if you can afford it. Some of these special tours also take attendees to other off-limits sites like Abu Gorab and Abu Rawash.
But if you can't afford a tour, there's also a rumor that you can arrange a visit if you establish a local connection in the nearby village.
Even if you're unable to enter the site, it's worth having your driver stop by on your way to or from Saqqara or Dahshur. You can get a pretty clear view of the three main pyramids from the nearest public road.
Where to Stay in the Greater Cairo Area
The Greater Cairo Area is home to many of Egypt's, and the world's, most impressive sites. The city of Cairo itself, on the other hand, is overwhelming in terms of both traffic and pollution, yet rather underwhelming in regards to tourist attractions. Therefore, I recommend that people stay in Giza and not in Cairo.
I find it puzzling that so many travelers decide to stay in central Cairo and then commute multiple times to reach Giza and Saqqara. For archaeology enthusiasts, it makes much more sense to stay in or near Giza and dedicate 3 or 4 full days to exploring the various pyramid sites. As Saqqara and Dahshur are both south of Giza, which itself is southwest of central Cairo, staying in Giza gives you a big head start for those excursions.
You will want to commute to central Cairo at least once, however, to visit the Egyptian Museum and maybe an additional day for Islamic Cairo.
Staying in Giza, right by the Giza Necropolis, allows you to get there right when the pyramids open at 8:00am. That means you'll get at least 90 minutes or more with the entire complex all to yourself (as long as you don't visit on a Friday or Saturday, that is).
While the modern suburb of Giza has a reputation for being dirty and rundown, it's no worse than the average neighborhood of Cairo. And while there are lots of touts around, they're not nearly as bad as the East Bank of Luxor.
I took things even further and also stayed for a few nights in the small village of Abu Sir, just north of Saqqara. I then switched to accommodation in Giza for a few nights so that I could visit the pyramids right when they opened.
Later, at the end of my trip, I based myself in downtown Cairo for better access to the historic sites in the city center, not to mention the airport.
In Abu Sir/Saqqara I stayed at the Sakkara Inn. Not only is the hotel situated in an authentic local village, but Mohamed the owner can set you up with reliable drivers for an affordable price. (I even continued to have him arrange drivers for me after checking out, as other places were quoting me much higher.)
In Giza I stayed at Abo Stait Pyramid View Homestay. It's literally a one-minute walk from the Sphinx entrance of the Giza Necropolis. The family who runs it was very friendly and helpful. And while the bathroom is shared with a few other guests and family members, it wasn't a big deal.
I'm a budget traveler, but those with more money to spend will find no shortage of accommodation options in the Giza area.


Independent film "Magtiwala Ka: A Super Typhoon Yolanda Story" immortalizes Globe Telecom's disaster relief and recovery efforts during the worst weather disturbance in Philippine history which wreaked havoc in the lives of many Filipinos especially in Eastern Visayas.
Behind the scenes with Direk Joric Raquiza and actress Dhen Banez during the Globe Bangon Pinoy sequence for "Magtiwala Ka".
"The devastation left by Typhoon Haiyan last year called for swift response. This movie, in a way, pays tribute to the dedication of Globe employees who lent time, money, and effort to reach out to those affected by the disaster through distribution of relief goods and provision of telecom services such as Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging, and Libreng Internet. Even up to this time, the company continues to actively aid in the country's relief and rebuilding efforts via its Project Wonderful program," said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications.
"Magtiwala Ka" depicts actual video footages of the typhoon's aftermath especially how relief distribution was conducted amidst the people's struggle to meet their basic needs such as food, water, and shelter.
Starring Keanna Reeves, the movie tackles the travails and hardships of a Yolanda survivor and how she was able to rise above the challenges.
Inspiration for the film stems from the actual experience of Director Joric Raquiza who also lost a home and a resort he saved up for so many years. "For me, it's only a material loss. I am grateful to God that my family is still alive. I would also want to thank the people who endorsed this film and believe in it," he said.
The movie is presented by Globe and will be shown on July 16 at SM Cinemas, Robinson's Movieworld, and Ever Commonwealth and Ortigas theaters. Advanced screening will be held on July 14.

San Bernardino and Los Angeles Encouraged to Improve Connectivity to Ontario Airport
- October 8, 2018
Tags: County of San Bernardino ONT Ontario transportation
Ontario, CA – A new technical study encourages transportation authorities in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties to explore a variety of options to improve transit between the two counties and commuter connections into and out of Ontario International Airport (ONT).
The Los Angeles and San Bernardino Inter-County Transit and Rail Connectivity Study was prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in coordination with LA Metro and the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA). One of the primary purposes of the study was to assess connectivity to ONT, which has experienced healthy growth since its return to local control in November 2016.
Since 2017, Ontario Airport has seen consistent double-digit growth in passenger volumes and with the additions of China Airlines, Frontier Airlines and JetBlue, is on track to handle 5 million passengers this year. Long term, SCAG has projected ONT's demand at 11-19 million passengers per year.
In addition, both LA and San Bernardino counties are among the fastest growing in the United States, representing a significant portion of the 4 million additional residents SCAG projects for its six-county region over the next 25-30 years.
To accommodate that demand and improve access to ONT, several transit alternatives have been floated in recent years, including light rail, hybrid rail, commuter rail and express bus and bus rapid transit service (BRT). The connectivity study did not attempt to choose only one of those options, but concluded that each would help reduce congestion and merit further review by Metro and SBCTA.
"This technical study is a critical step forward. Ontario Airport is in the center of one of the vibrant growth corridors in the U.S. and will continue to expand to meet the region's travel needs. We need to be planning now, and making sure that every alternative is fully vetted," said Alan D. Wapner, Ontario Mayor pro Tem, President of SCAG and President of the Ontario International Airport Authority.
"Our community is extremely supportive of the growth of ONT, but not the congestion and environmental impacts caused by single passenger vehicles. It is imperative that a multi-modal transportation system be an integral element of the airport's future."
The study included input gathered from public open houses, an online survey and meetings with stakeholder groups. It assessed the strengths and weaknesses of each of the alternatives, from potential ridership to commute times to overall cost.
For example, it noted that the least expensive option – expanding bus rapid transit services between the future Montclair Gold Line Station and San Bernardino and several other mobility hubs – would cost less than $300 million but attract fewer commuters and result in limited travel time savings.
A commuter rail option was divided into two phases. The first would expand Metrolink service between the two counties, with a commuter rail shuttle from the Rancho Cucamonga station to ONT. This would require double tracking in some sections, though the overall capital cost would be less than $1.5 billion. Phase 2 would extend service even further, such as rerouting Metrolink's Riverside Line to stop at ONT and connecting the San Bernardino Line directly to the airport with express service. This portion of the plan would result in faster commute times and increase the ridership from Phase 1, but add more than $3.5 billion to the cost.
Extending the Gold Line from the future Montclair station was also assessed. One option would extend service using local streets to reach the airport. This option would have high ridership and shorter travel times, but would cost $2 billion to build, the study said. Option 2 would build the line along Cucamonga Creek, which would have even higher ridership potential but cost more to build ($2.5 billion).
Another alternative would establish low- or zero-emission hybrid rail service – a light rail-type service without overhead electrical propulsion. This alternative would use existing Metrolink lines – double tracking in some sections – and create a spur that connects the San Bernardino line with the airport. This option would cost less than $2.5 billion and result in fast commute times between Los Angeles and ONT, but would not see the ridership increase of the other rail alternatives, the study said.
"We'll be sharing the results of the study next month with the Ontario Airport Roundtable, made up of key stakeholders and business interests from throughout our county. Their input will be critical to determining the best course of action moving forward, as any alignment to the airport would be funded in large part by San Bernardino County taxpayers. We anticipate working closely with LA Metro, to develop a plan for the future that meets our needs as a county and as a region," said Raymond Wolfe, Executive Director of SBCTA.
"Connecting our two counties and supporting the strong growth that is occurring at Ontario Airport are major priorities for us, and we look forward to developing a plan with our colleagues at SBCTA that benefits everyone," said Phillip A. Washington, Chief Executive Officer at LA Metro.

The upcoming Prelude expansion to Terraforming Mars gives the corporation a substantial starting boost, but it also comes with 5 brand new corporations to play! In the early days of Martian colonization, Point Luna had a perfect situation to leverage – the largest space port on Luna. By offering efficient resource relocation from Earth to Mars, they could partner up in a variety of terraforming projects. This is simulated by their ability to draw cards whenever they play an Earth tag. You may not have much control of what you draw, but the variety of cards you'll be sure to get will offer many interesting opportunities for you. In order to do well, though, you'll need to play multiple Earth projects. Many of them are the space events that Point Luna specializes on – shipping resources to Mars, using the titanium from their Lunar mining operations.
Then we have Arklight, a species preservation organization that offers much needed diversification of the emerging Martian ecosystem. With sponsors at their back (MC production), they gain a VP for every pair of animal or plant tags they play. But wait – that is not the Prelude icon on the side of the card! Oops, it seems we just spoiled a card from the upcoming Colonies expansion as well.
Oh well, you deserve it.
The next expansion for Terraforming Mars is Prelude, scheduled for release summer 2018, with a pre-release at Origins.
Prelude is a small expansion that lets you kickstart your terraforming! It focuses on the early stages of Mars colonization and tells the background story of the corporations. When choosing corporation and starting hand, each player also draws 4 Prelude cards, and chooses 2 of them to boost their corporation. The expansion opens up powerful starting combos and increases player asymmetry.


The Steinbach Pistons are proud to congratulate 19 year-old defenseman Connor Martin on being named the Manitoba Pork MJHL Peak Performer of the Month.
The MJHL Manitoba Pork Peak Performer award recognizes the volunteerism of an MJHL player who is making a difference in their community.
Martin was acquired by the Pistons this past summer and made an immediate impact upon his arrival. His interaction with fans at the Pistons annual golf tournament turned a family who wanted a break from billeting, back into billets.
Martin's golf swing may have helped the situation, as he helped lead his future billet's foursome to a win with a score of 20-under.
As soon as the season kicked off Martin began volunteering at Southwood Elementary School on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a couple hours and still is involved at the school to this day. He's also joined teammates when the Pistons go read, solve math problems and play floor hockey with local students.
Martin has been a key part of the Pistons defense this season, helping the team register only 2.87 goals-against-per-game, which is 2nd lowest in the league.

Possible serial rapist has South Side residents on alert after 4 women attacked
By Diane Pathieu and Evelyn Holmes
South Side residents on alert for possible serial rapist, 4 women attacked
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police are searching for a possible serial rapist on the South Side and neighbors in the area are on alert.
Police believe the same suspect may be responsible for sex assaults on four women in the last two months in the city's Chatham and Greater Grand Crossing neighborhoods.
"You can be walking past him every single day and don't even know it, that's very scary," said Rose Martin, resident.
The first attack occurred at about 5 a.m. on July 12 in the 7600-block of South Evans Avenue. On July 25, at about 5:30 a.m., a woman was attacked in the 7400-block of South Vernon Avenue. Then on August 6, at about midnight, a woman was attacked in the 7400-block of South King Drive. Finally, at about 2 p.m. on Friday, August 23, a woman was attacked in the 7700-block of South Langley Avenue.
In each instance, the suspect approached a woman who was alone and lured her into a secluded area, police said. The suspect then pulled out a gun, sexually assaulted the victims, took their property and fled, according to police.
Chicago police are searching for a possible serial rapist on the South Side and neighbors in the area are on alert.
The victims were all young women between the ages of 19 and 25, police said, and all of them were robbed of their cell phones, cash and other personal belongings.
Investigators have not said how the suspect lures the women into a secluded area to victimize them.
"There was some conversation between the victim and offender," said Lt. Ozzie Valdez, acting area central commander.
For neighbors, enough is enough.
"It honestly scares me because I take this route and I will still take this route," one neighbor said. "I don't have a choice, and now it puts fear in, it really scares me because I have my daughter with me and that's just both of our lives."
The attacks hit a little too close to home for 6th Ward Alderman Roderick Sawyer.
"We want to make sure that we capture this person and bring him to justice so that people can continue to feel safe walking the neighborhood," Sawyer said.
Police only have a vague description of the attacker, but say he was last seen near 67th Street and Prairie Avenue.
"You can be walking past him every single day and don't even know it, so that's very scary and very frustrating, so I am hoping they get him and catch him and it stops," said resident Rose Martin.
If you have any information about these attacks, contact Area Central Detectives at 312-747-8380.

Venstrereformpartiet, eller bare kaldet Reformpartiet, var et udbryderparti fra Det forenede Venstre, der blev stiftet i 1895 efter forliget om Københavns befæstning. Partiet var antimilitaristisk og liberalt i sin grundholdning.

J.C. Christensen, Viggo Hørup, Thorvald Poulsen og Carl Theodor Zahle var med i Venstrereformpartiet, som splittedes i 1905 med dannelsen af Det Radikale Venstre. En del af medlemmerne gik over i det nydannede parti, mens resten gik sammen med Det Danske Venstre og dannede det moderne Venstre.

What Hispanic voter record is Abbott trying to break?
September 24, 2014 admin Analysis and Opinions 0
By Peggy Fikac, SA Express-News
Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott is aiming to break a record when it comes to attracting the Latino vote in his race for governor against Democrat Wendy Davis.
The first order of business is figuring out which record.
A 1998 exit poll by Voter News Service put George W. Bush's share of the Hispanic vote at 49.5 percent when he ran for re-election in a blowout against Democrat Garry Mauro.
When asked about Abbott's target before last weekend, his campaign had said that was the record he was trying to break for a Republican seeking Texas statewide office.
But when Abbott campaigned in the Rio Grande Valley on Saturday, the candidate suggested he'd set a record with a smaller percentage of the Latino vote.
"We're aiming for 50 (percent), but I'm telling you, if I get more than 40, it's our understanding that that would set the record," said Abbott.
In his quest, he has declared he has a chance to win even the predominantly Democratic and Hispanic Rio Grande Valley, although experts and Democrats say that's beyond a long shot.
The number to break statewide for a Republican candidate for a Texas statewide office depends on the figure one accepts as accurate.
There were conflicting estimates of Bush's percentage of the Latino vote in that 1998 election. Although Voter News Service put the tally at 49.5 percent, the William C. Velásquez Institute put Bush's share of the Hispanic vote at 39 percent.
The two exit polls surveyed different areas, with the Velásquez Institute looking at predominantly Hispanic precincts and Voter News Service including Hispanics in predominantly Anglo precincts.
That means Hispanics who were more likely to vote Democratic were underrepresented in the Voter News Service exit poll, said Rice University political scientist Mark Jones.
Voter News Service also asked the question about ethnicity two ways, first asking respondents if they considered themselves white, African-American, Asian-American or Hispanic, then giving those who chose "white" another chance to express their ethnicity as Latino or Hispanic in order to take into account those who viewed themselves that way, Jones said.
Including all who considered themselves Latino or Hispanic in either question yielded the 49.5 percent tally, he said.
According to an Associated Press story at the time, the Voter News Service poll surveyed 1,256 voters around Texas, including 208 Hispanics. The margin of error for the Hispanic tally was plus or minus 9 percentage points.
The Velásquez Institute, by contrast, surveyed 380 Hispanics who lived in 24 precincts in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, looking at areas that were heavily Hispanic, according to the AP story. The margin of error for Hispanics was plus or minus 5 percentage points.
An official with Voter News Service said at the time that the Velasquez Institute didn't capture Latinos living in districts that were mostly white and more likely to vote for the Republican candidate.
Jones said he is "reasonably confident" that Bush's support was between 46 percent and 49.5 percent in that election.
The Houston Chronicle did a study of election returns using redistricting data and reported in 1999 that Bush got at least 39 percent of the Hispanic vote and likely exceeded 40 percent "with ease."
Gov. Rick Perry, by contrast, got 38 percent of the Hispanic vote against Democratic nominee Bill White in 2010, Jones said.

2016 Xbox One Backwards compatibility program: Arkanoid Live, Bayonetta, and more
The Xbox One's retrogressive similarity inventory keeps on developing today, as Microsoft has discharged five more Xbox 360 titles into the project.
In case you're moving up to Microsoft's Xbox One from the now stopped Xbox 360, the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility project is the best thing the organization has done in quite a while.
As declared by Microsoft's Larry "Real Nelson" Hryb, these incorporate Bayonetta, de Blob 2, Arkanoid Live, Of Orcs and Men, and QIX++. Hryb noticed that Of Orcs and Men is not accessible in all districts; it would seem that the US is one such area, as it doesn't appear on Xbox.com in the US.
In the event that you effectively own any of these recreations on Xbox 360, they ought to show up consequently in your Xbox One library. On the other hand, you can purchase them new on Xbox.com or through the console itself.
The following are Xbox.com download joins for all the new augmentations aside from Of Orcs and Men:
- Arkanoid Live ($10)
- Bayonetta ($20)
- de Blob 2 ($20)
- QIX++ ($10)
This is the second time this week that Microsoft added new amusements to the Xbox One's retrogressive similarity index. On Monday, Deathspank: Bejeweled 3, Thongs of Virtue, and Gatling Gears arrived.
There are currently more than 230 recreations in the Xbox One's retrogressive similarity lineup, and you can see every one of them here. Elsewhere in the world about in reverse similarity, Square Enix and Amazon have collaborated to offer an arrangement where you can get a free in reverse similarity amusement.
Since Microsoft needs to work straightforwardly with accomplices to make new titles accessible, anticipating what titles are next is confounded. Microsoft is urging clients to show support by voting in favor of their most loved amusements to make it into the project utilizing the Xbox Feedback site.
The Xbox One's regressive similarity highlight touched base in November 2015. From that point forward, the reaction has been "overpowering," Microsoft as of late said. Clients have on the whole burned through 145 million hours playing Xbox 360 amusements on Xbox One.

Hi! This is Rachel Malay, director at the Port Library in Beloit.
The weight loss industry is huge, and seems to grow bigger every year. This is not without with some reason. Americans are on average heavier now than they were 70, 50, or even 30 years ago. The library too has its share of self-help books, weight loss guides, and specialty cookbooks to help people with nearly any diet need. Some of our books focus on activity plans or weight training, some focus on eliminating or reducing salt, sugar, carbohydrates, or fat from the diet, and many have a combination of the two. One popular method in recent years has been to focus on weight loss from a spiritual point of view. There are now many Bible-study based weight loss programs found in and out of churches around the country. For a slightly different point of view the Port Library now has Cravings: a Catholic wrestles with food, self-image, and God by Mary DeJurris Poust. The author focuses on her own weight loss and spiritual journey, guiding the reader through a spiritual journey as they reassess how to eat. This book is not focused on what to eat, or how much, but eating mindfully and looking to God and faith to fill the void many people try to fill with busy activities and mindless eating. Each chapter has discussion questions meant for personal reflection, and a meditation for the section. The author includes several personal anecdotes to help the reader along on their journey. And don't worry about a list of dos and don'ts; with only eight chapters and less than a hundred and fifty pages you won't be reading long. Instead, the book guides the reader through simple, step-by-step ideas of increasing spiritual health as physical health is addressed. This book would be a good addition to other diet books or cookbooks, even if the reader has other medical concerns that limit certain foods. Because of the focus on spirituality over food, this book will be shelved in the library's section of Bible study and religion books, rather than health and wellness.
Cravings: A Catholic Wrestles with Food, Self-Image, and God by Mary DeJurris Proust.
We like books, movies, music, games, and more and would like to tell you what you can get FOR FREE at our library!


Well, from the article I can't see any mention of job losses just speculation.
The workers were informed this morning.
Only 15% of their production remains in the Uk because all the car production jobs have relocated outside of the UK, way before Brexit was even made up.
That's a bit too simplistic.
The British car manufacturing industry got crushed in the 70s and early 80s.
Absolutely crushed, but that left lots of skilled labour looking for work. Some managers knew how to get quality control right and slowly but steadily the industry started to revive.
Then foreign companies like Honda, Nissan, Toyota started to bring back serious volume production, while parts thrived, and today the industry is booming and again a signifiant employer and export force.
Buh-bye says Professor Patrick Minford, however, because to his credit he recognises that a UK outside the single market is not a suitable home for global manufacturers with global supply chains.
This place is turning into a parady of itself. People arguing against statements made by the company itself, all very funny (but not the situation for those involved, obviously).
What do you mean "nope"?
It's the opposite of "yep".
Some of it is staying, some of it is going.
That makes sense, since Britain has not yet finally pulled the lever on the gallows it is standing comfortably noosed upon.
". . .The company's regional chief executive, Juergen Ziegler, added: "A global business needs to regularly review market conditions and strive to optimise its footprint across different regions.
"The proposed measures we have taken for the UK reflect this business reality. However, we remain committed to keeping certain activities in the UK, a country that will continue to be important to us.""
So if it is announced that Brexit is cancelled tomorrow, will this company then stay open in Llanelli?
Large companies typically have shareholders, and make capital budgeting and production planning decisions years in advance.
They can only put things on hold for so long waiting for dishonest infantile power hungry politicians to make basic decisions.
Whilst it would appear the closure is due to a number of factors, some production is being moved to lower cost production centres such as China, however countries like Germany and the US are likely to have higher costs.
Whatever anyone's view on the exact reason, South West Wales can ill afford to lose 220 jobs such as those that are being lost. Several years ago I was at an event where the MD of Ina Bearings gave a talk, he was very passionate about the company and how hard the staff had worked to turn the plants fortunes around and become the "supplier of choice" for one of the major car manufactures. He was very passionate about the company and the manufacturing industry in Wales, he was a really good guy and someone who wanted Wales to succeed.
Probably not. The ship has probably sailed now - plans too far advanced etc.
What it would mean is that all the companies that are currently thinking of doing the same thing for the same reasons may not do so.
I don't see any benefit from Brexit whatsover but blaming this decision on Brexit is not credible.
The company themselves said it was the reason that they had decided to do this at this time. That doesn't of course mean it wouldn't have happened in the future anyway, but surely they know why they have done this?
It's terrible news for the people affected.
Terrible news indeed whatever the reason.
yes, they said it was 'one of the reasons' for the closure but they brought it forward due to uncertainty.
They could have boomed after Brexit, there is no certainty either way.
I used to work at Dura Cables, Bynea, that closed because they wanted to move to the Czech Republic to cut costs, Ford, Nissan and PSA Group didn't want the company to move production there due to quality concerns.
Anyway, they shut the plant and production moved to save money.
within a few years the com many lost the contract and a competitor company in Baglan mopped up the contract.
Dura had fended them off whilst they made the cables in the UK.
Don't blame Brexit for everything, these things are decided well in advance, not aimed at you Major.
Did you not know that Thatcher closed the mines down since she knew Brexit would happen 30 odd years later?
And the utilities,banks,etc would move their call centres abroad years ago for the same reason.
These remoaners are jumping on absolutely anything and blaming Brexit it shows their futile desperation.
Gestamp Llanelli is looking for time served toolmakers; press tool experience would be desirable but is not essential.
You can't blame the company really, the country is run by power crazed loons, I wouldn't risk my company in the hands of these idiots. As for the people of Llanelli, got to feel for the ones that voted remain. I wonder how many jobs have gone already in the uk, and the amount of money wasted on something that is completely pointless.
Down arrowed by mistake - fat fingers! Apologies.
Yes it is entirely the companies fault, it has nothing to do with Westminster or Cardiff who have just given Aston Martin a Zillion to make cars that nobody i know will be able to run and as far as i can fathom don't use tappets.
As for feeling sorry for the people of LLanelli who voted remain even after the money wasted on leaflets trying to convince us all to stay that could have and should have been utilised better elsewhere.
And as for your last sentence what are you talking about employment is at a record high and wages are starting to rise slowly. When we joined it was a Common Market policy not some elite cabal where they can rule over a continent.
So using your logic, looking down the M4 from the Indian owned steelworks to LLanelli the amount of industry that has disappeared is staggering all gone whilst members of the EU power crazed loons.
Stop talking sense and facts it fecks the remoaners up.

North Dakota Oil Pipeline: Company Destroys Native Burial Sites
If true, this is pure barbarism. I blogged earlier this week about protests by Native Americans about the North Dakota Access Pipeline, which is intended to carry oil through the lands of the Standing Rock Sioux people. The tribe are opposing it, as they fear that the pipeline will lead to the pollution of their water supply and the destruction of their lands and its ecosystem. In this piece from Democracy Now!, the anchor Amy Goodson speaks to the tribe's lawyer, Jan Hasselman, from the chambers Earthjustice, and the tribe's chairman Dave Archambault.
The oil company has tried a number of tactics to try to close down and disrupt the protests. They local sheriff and officials have pulled cellphone access over the area, to stop citizens uploading videos of the protests to the internet. They've also attacked the protesters with dogs and pepper spray. There's video footage of the bites some of the protesters received from one of the animals, with blood dripping from the muzzle of a Doberman Pinscher. The oil company has also tried to destroy the ancient burials on the site, which Mr Hasselman was hoping to use as part of his case against the development.
Mr Hasselman and a team of archaeologists surveyed the site to show that there were Native American archaeological remains, some of them very rare, in the area which was scheduled for digging. These included the burials. They submitted these to the court in the hope that the judge would therefore rule that digging could not go ahead under the relevant legislation protecting ancient monuments in America and desecrating burial sites. The reverse happened. The company took the information, and used it as a guide to the location of the remains. They then sent the bulldozers in to destroy them. They did so in front of the protesters, and when they moved to protect the monuments, the security guards set the dogs on them and attacked them with mace.
Here's the report.
This is outrageous on so many levels. It's disgusting when anyone's graves are desecrated. It is particularly outrageous when it's deliberately done by a multimillion, if not multibillion dollar company against an impoverished community in a deliberate attempt to destroy their past for corporate profit. I have a postgraduate qualification in Archaeology from Bristol University. When I was on the course, a number of the other students I met were archaeologists from the other side of the Atlantic – America and Canada. Several of them had worked studying ancient First Nation American and Canadian remains. One young woman had designed a heritage park for one of the local peoples in southeast America. Another young man had also worked in Canada, prospecting ahead of the oil companies on the Canadian prairie for palaeoindian remains. And another young woman had been part of an expedition to the Canadian arctic to study Inuit monuments.
There is a wealth of fascinating archaeology from the indigenous American and Canadian cultures, which archaeologists have recovered and from which they are still learning. This archaeology is often not fully appreciated, even by the local people, to whom it really belongs, as for years the American and Canadian governments and some religious organisations, Such as the Roman Catholic missions in the American South West, did their level best to destroy the indigenous culture. In Canada, this was most notoriously through the government boarding schools, which were designed to isolate Native children from their ancestral culture and inculcate in them the culture, including clothing and language, of the White majority. The same policy was adopted in Australia against the Aboriginal people. As a result, some First Nation peoples tragically have only a very hazy idea of their traditional culture and the meaning of the monuments their ancestors created and left behind. I believe such a policy today of trying to destroy the Native people's ancestral way of life would count as genocide under international human rights legislation.
Because of the historic injustice against these communities, excavation of these sites is extremely sensitive and, in Canada, they're very strongly protected. The lad, who worked on the prairie informed me that he was working to make sure that there were no ancient Indian artifacts around before the oil companies moved in to extract oil from the shale geology of the area. If just one flint arrowhead was found, the area was a protected site and no development could go ahead. He also told me of some of the ceremonies that had to be carried out, and in which the archaeologists conducting the excavation, had to take part according to tribal religion. The archaeologists exploring ancient Sioux burial grounds, for example, had to be 'smudged' by the tribe's shaman. 'Smudging' is something like Christian exorcism, but also rather different. The excavators and investigators, including those just handling the remains and writing up the notes, had to be anointed on their wrists and neck with buffalo grease by the local shaman for as long as the excavation lasted. This obviously made washing and personal cleanliness difficult, but it had to be done. The archaeologists were after all investigating another people's culture, and so had to respect it.
Because archaeological remains are scarcer in America and Canada, because of the sparser population before the European conquest, excavations are carried out with a greater thoroughness than in Britain and Europe. They may take longer, and are done in finer detail than is frequently possible across the Atlantic.
Now it seems remains of immense cultural, spiritual and personal value to Sioux people, as well as of inestimable scientific value to archaeologists, has been destroyed for no reason other than to spite the protesters and their supporters, and prevent proper investigation by the courts. Several of the faculty at Bristol uni were members of, or had personal connections to, the World Heritage Organisation. Archaeologists, like other academics, travel all over the world to excavate and teach. So you can bet that scholars across the world have heard of this attack through their organisations, colleagues and students. And they aren't going to be impressed.

Sarasota Probation Violation Attorney | Accused of a Parole Violation?
Following the conditions of your probation to the letter is vital to retaining your freedom, yet this can be more difficult than it sounds. If you are convicted for violating the terms of your probation, the judge could sentence you to the maximum penalty for the crime on which you were originally convicted. If you sit in jail for very long without a bond you could lose your employment no matter how innocent you actually may be.
Under these circumstances it is crucial that you be represented by a Sarasota criminal lawyer experienced in fighting a probation violation charge.
The two kinds of violations which a person might be charged with are the commission of a new offense whether a misdemeanor or a felony and a technical violation. Each of these can be successfully defended depending upon the circumstances. If the violation charge stems from a new offense, an acquittal or dismissal of the charge for this offense would be grounds to have the violation charge dropped. In the case of a technical violation such as missing a probation meeting, the prosecution must prove that you willfully and materially committed this violation.
Some examples of technical violations are, changing your address without permission, being late to a probation meeting and not completing court-order classes. An experienced probation violation lawyer with the firm is very knowledgeable in the effective defense strategies which can result in a positive outcome.
Your future, your freedom and retaining your livelihood is important. It is worth fighting for. Your case could be successfully defended on the basis of the prosecutor's inability to prove the violation, actual innocence or you were in full compliance or other effective defenses. A skilled criminal defense lawyer at the firm is aggressive in fighting for a client. Call The Miller Law Firm to discuss your case.
Contact a Sarasota probation violation attorney at the firm for sound advice and a vigorous defense.

Triple H Wants To Do A Women's Tournament, Reveals Target Time Frame
Alex Pawlowski
After the success of both the Cruiserweight Classic and the United Kingdom Championship Tournament, it looks like the women might be next to get in on the action.
Triple H recently appeared on the Wrestling Compadres Slamcast, and when asked about the rumored women's tournament, he not only said they have plans for one, he even gave a timeframe. Summer 2017.
Related Article Big Show: It's Not About Wins And Losses, It's About Quality Of Work And Moments
"That's another of my big passions (a women's tournament) but things are always changing. Raw and Smackdown split, NXT Takeovers are attached to big four PPVs. We have to find the right time and space. The UK tournament worked out in the small break before the Rumble. The women, we're hoping to do this summer. That's the plan. Like the Cruisers, we want to search all over and expose talent to our audience."
The Cruiserweight Classic consisted of 32 competitors from all over the world, and was filmed at Full Sail University, the same venue that hosts NXT. The episodes were broadcast weekly over two months, and only the semi-finals and finals were seen Live on the WWE Network. By contrast, the UK Title Tournament featured sixteen contestants and was broadcast Live over a single weekend. No indication yet which format the WWE would prefer for a potential Women's Tournament.

Driving home tonight in my beloved RX300, the amber engine management light came on and the VSC light.
Stopping and starting made no difference.
Once home I did undo the petrol cap - - no whoosh. I'm not sure if that's significant or not.
Happy to take it to the garage but are there any obvious checks an incompetent DIY'er can do?
Unfortunately the first step with warning lamps is normally to check the logged fault codes and go from there so without an OBD reader it's a bit of a guess for the average DIY'er.
In some cases I think the VSC is tripped if the engine throws a fault so it should just be one initial fault rather than two separate issues.
Having 'researched' on the internet, I tried a 'reset' by disconnecting the Battery for a few minutes.
Reconnected the Battery ( found the Battery strap that secures it very loose. ).
No amber warning lights. Driving normally.
On its first re-start I need to hold the throttle pedal down as it idled, but having now driven about 30 miles, it's all back to normal.
Why? I DID go through a large flooded puddle too fast. Water ingress?
Don't know. So fingers crossed. Limpness gone.
Hope it's not because of the puddle because that means a likely exposed wire. I think the knock sensors are pretty hard to access on your engine so not easy to check connectors.
I'd still do a bit more with the fuel filler cap. A clean around the filler neck can help too. Do check the rubber seal ring inside the cap as well. You never know.. Just be extra careful not to drop any dirt down the filler pipe.
Hope it stays away. Gave me a scare when the dash lights lit up on my first real motorway run after buying the RX.
All reset at the garage.
All of a sudden going through that puddle becomes more relevant. You can upset a speed sensor with even a high speed car wash spray. This sensor will also cause a limp mode (which the fuel cap/o2 sensor et al faults won't).
I hope the garage did look at the sensor for any broken insulation etc. Also a quick visual of the wheel hub.
Do you have the full list of codes they got from the car?
The garage took a quick look when I took my wife to collect her car.
There were 2 in total, the P0330 and the C1201.
They cleared them and the plan is hat it goes back in if the issue occurs again.
If it does go back in I'll mention your points.
Car back to me tomorrow.
New knock sensors and wiring loom.

Windjammers 2 (Switch) Hands-on Preview
by Daan Koopman - September 2, 2019, 8:07 am EDT
Discuss in talkback!
Variety is the keyboard as the art of throwing discs is constantly evolving!
DOTEMU are hard at work bringing back a game I truly love, Windjammers. Last year, I got my first look at the wonders of Windjammers 2. The game dialed up everything I loved about the first: smoother gameplay, character variety, and of course disc throwing. Now a new year is upon us and a lot of work has been done to experience a full featured one. Let me give you the lowdown.
The gameplay is as you would expect. You will dash and throw the disc, lob it straight back and use special moves when the timing is right. The goal is to toss the disc behind your opponent and score points depending on which colored wall you hit. Depending on your actions, you can score anything from two to five points on average. It is very much a momentum game, as timing every move can decide a victor fast.
The keyword of the 2019 build is variety. The demo had a whopping six characters with the final roster being ten in total. For the majority of the time, I gravitated towards speedy characters like the new S. De Lys. While she won't throw discs all too hard, the character has grand defensive options that can be used in a pinch. One of the developers mostly used H-Max, a Canadian powerhouse that was completely new to the demo. He would hit back with powerful moves that you will have a hard time ignoring. His Power Move, a new feature in Windjammers 2, is nothing to sneeze at.
When it comes to stages, Windjammers 2 is shaping up nicely as well. One of the stadiums, taking place in a construction zone, shortens the time you have to react. Unlike other maps, they only have a teensy bit past you to let your opponent score points. There is also one that resembles a tennis stadium. It is that the middle portion is smaller, giving you less time to react against attacks. Every locale has been spruced well with a lively environment and beautifully animated supporters to boot.
Windjammers 2 is coming along extremely well. The game has seen some clear improvements over last year, and is certainly heading in the direction of a full game. What will be in that full game remains to be seen, but the balance is currently at a right place. Hopefully we will learn a whole lot more in the near future!
