Told you I've been enjoying my "fashion freedom" lately.
I've been skeptical of midi-length dresses (I like my skirts short!), but I actually like how it looked on. It looks sophisticated, if a little conservative, but that's fine--it's so pretty on it's own. I accessorized with ice cream colored accessories to match the colors in the hot air balloon necklace.
I recently discovered Sincerely Sweet Boutique and everything in the shop is so me. They have lots of feminine and vintage-inspired pieces at really great prices, so definitely check it out sometime! Their jewelry is quirky and whimsical too (ferris wheels, cotton candy charms, etc.).
Also, in random music news (because even though I rarely talk about music, I listen to it a lot), Metric's new album Synthetica is out! Gah. Metric is all over my playlists at any given time, and some of their songs are among my most listened to. It's $6.99 to download the album on Amazon. Yay!
My iPod has been happy lately.


The UK economy expanded at a faster-than-expected pace in January, supported by growth in all main sectors such as manufacturing, services and constructions, preliminary figures from the Office for National Statistics showed on Tuesday.
Gross domestic product grew 0.5 percent month-on-month in January after a 0.40 percent decline in December. Economists had expected a 0.20 percent increase.
In November, GDP grew 0.2 percent monthly.
On a 3-month-on-3-month basis, GDP rose 0.20 percent in January, which was in line with economists' expectations.
"Across the latest three months, growth remained weak with falls in manufacture of metal products, cars and construction repair work all dampening economic growth. These were offset by strong performances in wholesale, IT and health services," ONS Head of GDP Rob Kent-Smith said.
"This sluggish growth came despite the economy bouncing back from a weak December."
Industrial production rose 0.6 percent from December, when it fell 0.5 percent. Economists were looking for a 0.20 percent growth.
Manufacturing output grew 0.8 percent after a 0.7 percent decline in December. Economists had expected a 0.20 percent increase. The latest rise was the first since June 2018, and was mainly due to a surge in pharmaceuticals output.
Services output grew 0.3 percent after a 0.2 percent fall in the previous month. Economists had expected a 0.20 percent gain.
Construction rose 2.8 percent, reversing a similar size fall in December. Economists had forecast a 0.80 percent increase.
Separately, the ONS reported that the visible trade deficit in January widened to GBP 13.08 billion from GBP 10.89 billion a year ago. In December, the shortfall was GBP 12.68 billion. Economists had forecast a GBP 12.2 billion deficit.

Oh, so this is the 'Samsung Galaxy S8 Lite'
By Gareth Beavis 2018-05-22T09:02:05.141Z Mobile phones
New / old phone breaks cover as Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury
If you were intrigued by rumors of Samsung making a cheaper version of the Galaxy S8, then good news: it's a real phone. Bad news? It's probably going to be locked away in China as the Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury.
Simple naming aside, the new phone carries a lot of hallmarks from the original device, and should it ever make it to the wider world could be pretty popular.
The 18.5:9 long screen is back, coming in at 5.8-inches, and it's also IP68 dust-resistant. That's pretty similar to the Galaxy S8, and it even retains the irritating Bixby key - showing Samsung isn't letting up on trying to make that a 'thing'.
The iris scanner and poor placement of the fingerprint scanner remain, and we doubt they've been upgraded in any way... so that could be an issue should you somehow manage to buy this phone, as neither worked particularly well in our test with the Galaxy S8.
There are some key differences though: the battery is 3000mAh (and wirelessly chargeable), it's coming with Android 8 right out of the box - and there's a lot less power here too.
The device is powered by the mid-range Snapdragon 660 chipset, clearly to help save the cost. It'll also be less of a drain on the battery (as will the display, which will be capped at Full HD resolution).
There's an 8MP camera on the front, and a 16MP snapper on the back, with f/1.7 aperture for good low light photography. The Galaxy S Light Luxury looks pretty neat stacked up against the original Galaxy S8, and will probably be around 20-30% cheaper too, while coming in black and burgundy colors and packing AKG headphones in the box.
And one final curiosity: in China, the name of the phone is the S Light Luxury... but the URL says S Lite, so clearly there's been some debate over the name. We doubt it would be called the S Light Luxury in other countries anyway, so that should hint at the real name.
Or you could upgrade and go for the much-better Galaxy S9

Boardman and Women's UCI Professional team Podium Ambition have today announced a two-year partnership that will see the team riding bikes from the newly launched Boardman Elite Women's range.
All 14 members of the star studded squad, which includes riders such as Dame Sarah Storey, Joanna Rowsell-Shand and Katie Archibald, will be on bikes from the aerodynamic AIR and SLR Endurance ranges for racing and training. With the World Championship Team Time Trial a goal for the team, the women will also be using the ATT and TTE bikes as designed by Chris Boardman himself.
>>> Lightweight vs aero, which is best?
Andy Smallwood MD of Boardman Bikes spoke of their decision to move into the sponsorship of a UCI Professional Women's team, "We have been looking for a way back into Professional team sponsorship and the professionalism, ambition and rider roster of Podium Ambition made working with Sarah and the team a logical decision, the connection with the team will also give us a valuable resource in our continuous process of product development".
For more information, head over to Boardman.


As you review your health plan options, make sure you are looking to the future as well as today. Next year, you will need to make a change again and you'll need the features of an independent consumer-driven plan to enable you to make those changes without disrupting your workforce. Here are the reasons you should choose an independent provider for the consumer-driven portion of your health plan: Stability By choosing an independent provider, you reduce the amount of change your employees will need to adapt to in the future as you change carriers or networks. Keeping their front-line health benefit resource the same allows for you to create a sense of stability in your workforce in regards to their health care benefit. Flexibility Another benefit of utilizing an independent provider for the administration of your health accounts is flexibility. When accounts are integrated into your insurance plan, you lose the flexibility you need to modify and adjust your plan in the future as you continue to develop options to contain your costs and engage your employees in their health care. Trust Properly designed consumer-driven health care plans inform, motivate and engage consumers in the health care process through an Activation program. Studies show consumers (employees) do not trust or rely on information provided to them by their insurance carrier or their employer regarding their health plan; therefore, an independent provider of information and account administrative services should be sought.

Apparently Pappadum at Crownhill seem to be inaccessible for any type of review. I would NOT recommend them for any type of takeaway. We knew what we'd ordered but apparently we didn't. Jane was unwilling to give her surname as her boss will back her up apparently. As for what they didn't have they just gave us something else without asking. Really? So we really didn't enjoy our curry without rice and our pappadums without mango chutney and the rest of the meal was cold and frankly really disappointing . To be told that she's had 80 orders tonight and I'm the only one moaning really made my Saturday.

Inspired by a vision of "a world where being low-income does not mean having to choose between housing and food, and where everyone can have faith in our system of justice," the $11-million, Washington, DC-based Butler Family Fund is an important advocate in the realms of homelessness and criminal justice reform. It awards $800,000 in grants every year to organizations from California to London.
Spun off from the larger J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation in New York, the Butler Family Fund was created in 1992 with an asset base of $10 million. The seven nieces and nephews of Jack and Zella Butler established two program areas: homelessness and at-risk youth. By 2001, concerned that a lack of focus was hindering the fund's effectiveness, the fund moved away from funding at-risk youth and began a program of criminal justice reform, including death penalty reform, juvenile justice, and drug policy reform.
As the fund's award-winning 2004 report The Butler Family Fund: The First Ten Years notes, "Board members walk a fine line between focusing on the greater community's needs and fostering a constructive working atmosphere among themselves." One way the fund develops that atmosphere is through its program of board development.
In 2007, the fund successfully turned control over to the younger, second-generation family members, who had been serving rotating three-year terms on the board in anticipation of one day taking the reins.
More recently, though, the fund has undertaken an "exchange program" for trustees. Second-generation board members looking to expand on their training within the fund began to seek opportunities to learn from other family foundations.
Trustees found foundations in their own backyards and brought their learning to the Butler Family Fund's twice-a-year meetings. Board President Eve Wildrick, based in Philadelphia, attended meetings of the Philadelphia Foundation, the William Penn Foundation, and the Needmor Fund. Vice President Jennifer Gravin, based in California, met up with the Durfee Foundation in Los Angeles. Trustee Lisa Siegel visited with the staff of the Meadows Foundation in Dallas. Trustee Rebecca Morrison visited the New York Foundation.
"I was surprised at just how valuable the experience was for us, and how very open [the other foundations] were," says Toll. The trustees' visits pushed members to think more broadly about program and strategy.
As a passionate family grantmaker, the Butler Family Fund has gained much from these exchanges with other funders.
For more information about the Butler Family Fund and its work, visit its website.
If you're a family foundation trustee and would like to attend a family foundation board or committee meeting, or if you are interested in hosting a fellow trustee, contact the National Center for Family Philanthropy at 202.293.3424.
In 1999, an affordable housing trust fund was an untested idea, but the risk was one the Washington, DC-based Butler Family Fund was willing to take. The fund awarded a $20,000 grant to the Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing (SCANPH) to help launch Housing L.A., an advocacy campaign to create such a fund in the city of Los Angeles. Leveraging the support of a national funder, SCANPH was able to raise additional funds and grow Housing L.A. into a powerful advocate for affordable housing.
The campaign succeeded in January 2002 when, despite a hiring freeze and budget cutbacks, Mayor James Hahn created the $100 million annual housing trust fund, the nation's largest municipal housing fund. The coalition SCANPH, the Butler Family Fund, and others had helped build was simply too broad to ignore.
Today, the Butler Family Fund's commitment to risk-taking, leveraging small grants, and, above all, advocacy stands as an important example of what an engaged giving family can do amid a new growing housing crisis. The fund's November 2007 slate of grants included grants to New York Legal Aid Society and the Partnership to Preserve Affordable Housing, ACORN's Stop Foreclosures Campaign, and the Center for Community Change and the Housing Trust Fund Project.

NFL Mock Draft 3.0
Need to Know:A third-round quarterback for the Redskins?
By Rich Tandler February 09, 2017 5:00 AM
Here is what you need to know on this Thursday, February 9, 28 days before the March 9 start of NFL free agency.
Days until:
—NFL Franchise tag deadline (3/1) 20
—Redskins offseason workouts start (4/17) 67
—NFL Draft (4/27) 77
—First Sunday of 2017 season (9/10) 213
With the season over, looking ahead
It's too early for mock drafts but that doesn't stop writers and self-styled draft gurus from cranking them out to fill the time between the Super Bowl and the NFL Combine. And, just as the mock drafters hope, I saw something interesting in one of them.
More Redskins: Looking for first-round value
Chris Burke of SI.com did a three-round mock, which is a stretch for this time of year but at least he acknowledges that. In the first two rounds he had the Redskins taking defensive linemen, DE Derek Barnett of Tennessee in the first round and DT Jaleel Johnson of Iowa, with their first two picks. That would be a development that would make most fans very happy.
In the third round, he has the Redskins making a pick that could be more controversial, Miami quarterback Brad Kaaya. The former Hurricane is 6-4 and he has a rifle of an arm from the pocket. He also can't do much when he must move.
But leaving aside the attributes of this particular quarterback, is taking a quarterback in the third a good idea?
Well, it depends. If the Redskins and Kirk Cousins agree on a long-term deal between now and the draft then the third round would be too high to take a quarterback who clearly would be a backup.
RELATED: Position outlook: Looking for playmakers at ILB
But suppose Cousins is on the franchise tag when the draft comes around? Although he could still sign a long-term deal prior to July 15 the Redskins will probably have a good feel for the prospects of getting a deal done. If things aren't looking good, they would have to proceed as if 2017 will be Cousins' last year in a Redskins uniform. If they can get a guy who they can groom for a year to step into the starting job in 2018 they need to seriously consider it.
I don't know if Kaaya would be the right guy or not. But if he can make decisions and get rid of the ball quickly, that's half the battle in succeeding in Jay Gruden's offense.
Let's look at it this way. If they decide the let Cousins walk they must think that it's fairly easy to find someone who can produce in Gruden's offense like Cousins does. If they're right, the proper third-round pick should be able to fill those shoes, no?

Jay Gruden returns to NFL as Jaguars offensive coordinator
By Tyler Byrum January 22, 2020 11:06 AM
Jay Gruden has found a new team in the NFL as he was named the Jacksonville Jaguars' newest offensive coordinator for the 2020 season, the team has announced.
This will be Gruden's return to the league after he was fired as the Washington Redskins head coach earlier this year. He was relieved from his duties after an 0-5 start, the team's worst start under his tenure.
The offensive mind, that was previously an offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals during their playoff runs with Andy Dalton, will now look to rejuvenate the Jaguars' offense. For years Jacksonville has had one of the least productive offenses in the entire league.
Strapped to Blake Bortles for several seasons and then signing Nick Foles has not paid dividends for head coach Doug Marrone and his staff. Aside from their improbable run to the AFC Championship in the 2017 season, the team has finished as one of the bottom seven offenses in the league under his tenure.
Gruden also takes this new job as the Jaguars quarterback position is unsettled.
Nick Foles was signed to a four-year $88 million deal last offseason but struggled after an injury derailed his season. When he returned, he eventually was benched after two straight weeks without a touchdown pass. Rookie Gardner Minshew filled in for Foles' place and put together an admirable 6-6 record as a starter, accounting for all six of the team's wins.
While directing the offense in Cincinnati, Gruden led the Bengals to three straight seasons as one of the top-13 offenses in the league. Their best season they were ranked as high as fourth. However, that did not fully translate to Washington. The last two seasons saw the Redskins offense fall to one of the bottom four in the league. Their record was not much better under his guidance at 35-49-1.
He likely takes this position with a short leash as John DeFilippo was fired from the same position after one year on the job.

New Stadium: Report has Snyder moving forward

Report: Dan Snyder petitions state of Maryland for gambling license for new stadium
By JP Finlay January 22, 2020 7:42 AM
As a return to the old RFK Stadium site for the Redskins seems less likely, Washington owner Dan Snyder appears to be moving forward with a new plan: Staying in Maryland but adding a gambling license.
Snyder met with a number of Maryland lawmakers to discuss sports betting and acquiring a license for a new Redskins stadium, according to The Washington Post. The report contends Snyder wants to use "sports betting as part of an overall plan to build a domed stadium that could include hotels, offices and training facilities."
The story also suggests Snyder could build the stadium with his own money.
The Redskins currently play their games in Maryland at FedEx Field and their lease runs through 2027. The stadium is dated and Snyder has openly talked about wanting a new facility for his team to play.
For years, publicly, Snyder has opined that his team belongs back in D.C. at the RFK site. At various times in the last two years that seemed plausible, but political red tape from the federal government continues to hold things up. The stadium sits on federal land, and while the city has tried to regain control of that site, it hasn't happened. Until the city takes control, which is far from happening, it seems unlikely the Redskins get back to the site.
So if it's time to move forward with Maryland, it requires a bit of a fresh start. The Redskins and the state were holding talks about a land swap to build a new stadium near the MGM National Harbor along the Potomac River, but those talks stalled when it became obvious the team preferred a return to D.C.
Legalized sports betting in Maryland seems likely to hit the ballot this fall, and considering the state already has fully operational casinos, there's little reason to think the vote wouldn't pass.
That's the first step for the Redskins to get a sports betting license for their new stadium. The idea isn't novel; Ted Leonsis has been quite open about adding a sports book to Capital One Arena and already has an agreement with William Hill bookmakers to run the gambling operation. Similar deals are expected at Audi Field and Nationals Park.
It remains a bit of a surprise that Virginia politicians seem willing to sit out the courtship of a new Redskins stadium. Former Governor Terry McAullife actively flirted with the idea of building a new Redskins stadium in the Commonwealth, but current Governor Ralph Northam almost seems disinterested in the idea.
The Redskins practice facility is in Loudon County and the team holds training camp each summer in Richmond. The training camp deal is soon to expire and some believe if and when a new stadium facility gets built, that could also house training camp and practices. Currently, no professional sports teams play in Virginia, and the Commonwealth does not appear as near legalized sports gambling as Maryland or the District.
Like anything with a gigantic project in a region with three different local governing bodies and the omnipresent specter of the federal government looming, a new Redskins stadium will require significant legislative hurdles and deal-making. Stay tuned.

Pine Belt attorney Ferraez settles voter registration case
By DAVID GUSTAFSON,
Hattiesburg attorney Cory Ferraez, 28, has agreed to settle a dispute with the Mississippi Attorney General's Office regarding voting irregularities dating back to 2015.
Under terms of the settlement, Ferraez – who ran unsuccessfully for the state Legislature in 2017 – pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of voting outside his legal residence and was sentenced to six months of probation, a $200 fine, and was ordered to pay $200 to the victim's compensation fund, in addition to court costs.
The issue stems back to October 2015 when Ferraez voted in his hometown of Lowndes County where he had been a registered voter since the age of 18. In 2016, after living in Hattiesburg for more than a year, Ferraez legally changed his voter registration to Forrest County.
Later in 2017, and in order to qualify to run for state representative, Ferraez correctly declared he was a Hattiesburg resident to meet the two-year residency requirement for candidates.
Prior to the special election in 2017, the AG's Office attempted to keep Ferraez off of the ballot based on his Lowndes County vote in 2015. After that attempt failed, the State Board of Elections approved Ferraez' candidacy and Forrest County residency, the AG's Office pushed to convene a special grand jury so it could aggressively prosecute the case before the election took place.
Ferraez and his attorneys have long argued political motivation prompted the charges.
State Attorney General Jim Hood is the only Democrat elected to statewide office in Mississippi and is expected to toss his hat into the governor's race this summer.
At the time, Ferraez, who had hoped to follow in the footsteps of former state Rep. Toby Barker, indicated he would caucus with the Republican party if elected.
"This is the first case of its kind to be indicted by any Attorney General ever in Mississippi. The entire indictment was politically motivated and an abuse of process, which has no place in our judicial system," said Jace Ferraez, one of Cory Ferraez' attorneys. "Further, Cory did not plead guilty to voter fraud. He only pleaded to voting outside his legal domicile or residence because he was legally registered to vote in Lowndes County."


"Thanks to its integrated battery concept, the Nduro has reached a new level of integration, aesthetic beauty and practicality, combined with Haibike's already legendary eMTB ride quality. The new modular rail system makes it easy to attach various items such as a bottle or lock. These bikes give birth to a whole new market segment. An Enduro bike with an electric motor opens up a new world of possibilities and unrivaled terrain access. Why walk up steep inclines when you can ride? This bike can truly climb every mountain."
While this ebike is built for heavy hitting it is capable for all types of riding. Up front you have the Rockshox Yari RC forks with 180mm travel and 35mm stanchions for great stiffness to weight ratio. The forks are adjustable and with a flick of a switch you can change travel from 150mm to 180mm depending on what type of riding you want to do.
On the rear you have the new Rockshox Super Deluxe RC3 rear shock with a full 180mm suspension. This offers rebound damping via the Rapid Recovery System which allows the shock to recover quicker between consecutive bumps.
The Sram NX gearing system offers very smooth and reliable 11-speed and the cassette offers an incredible 11 to 42t setup which is the largest range possible on an electric mountain bike. Haibike have stuck with the Magura MT5 4 piston hydraulic disc brakes and this year the new Carbontecture construction reduces overall weight without losing performance.
David Knight MBE, 4 x world enduro motorbike champion loves riding his Haibike NDuro because it is "exciting to ride", "cuts out the boring bits"and he can "ride so much further". Watch his story in the following video.
Perfect power and integration taken to a new level. The Haibike xDURO NDuro 8.0 is powered by the most powerful of Bosch's mid-drive systems, the Bosch Performance CX. The Bosch CX motors are legendary for their climbing ability and have 75NM of torque delivering continuous, smooth power the whole climb. No shuttling required and you will not hesitate to take the steepest of climbs with this system.
The 500Wh battery delivers excellent range and having the Bosch 4A quick charger means you can top up over lunch and head back out to ride in the afternoon. Haibike's award-wining intube battery concept holds the battery snugly into the frame keeping it free from dust and muck, and its clever design means easy removal if required.
You have five levels of power at your disposal including the new eMTB mode especially designed by Bosch for mountain biking. You control this through the all-in-one thumb operated Bosch Purion display which leaves your handlebars clutter free for mounting your Garmin or night lights.
Haibike is the only manufacturer to mount the motor with the swing arm pivot bolt in a raised position. This ensures a shorter wheelbase for the ultimate control and manoeuvrability off road. They also have the exclusive Haibike S.E.S (Sprocket Equalising System) which raises the chain off the front sprocket up to the same level as the swing arm pivot point.
This means the chain is not affected by the rear end moving up & down over bumps and makes it near impossible for the chain to be dropped. Haibike have spent years perfecting their performance platform and this year they have added to their impressive portfolio with the Intube Battery Concept and Modular Rail System.


"I have received the "Beginner's" shamisen. I put that in quotes because I was quite impressed with the quality of the instrument!
I am a multi-instrumentalist and luthier myself. I contemplated making one for myself, but right now my backlog is such that I wouldn't have been able to get to it until about three years from now, and I'm actually quite glad I went this route instead.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton wants less of a 'rollercoaster' F1 season
June 18, 2017 Denny F1, Sport Leave a comment
Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton hopes that his season becomes less like a "rollercoaster ride" after an inconsistent start to the 2017 Formula 1 season.
Hamilton cut Sebastian Vettel's 25 points lead down to 12 in the drivers' standings after a third victory of the season in the Canadian Grand Prix, helping to close the gap after difficult races at Sochi and Monaco – with a win in the Spanish GP between them.
The three-time world champion says that getting the W08 working at full potential is still a tough task for Mercedes, but that it has learned from previous races this year.
"For us, personally getting the car where we need it every weekend is definitely a challenge," he said.
"But I think we've learned a lot from Monaco and I think we've learned a lot [from Canada].
"If we acquire the same diligence that we did in the past two weeks after every single race, even when we win, I'm pretty sure that we can continue to fight, and maybe not make the rollercoaster ride so up and down."
Hamilton highlighted the team's turnaround from Monaco to Montreal as a sign of the team learning from its mistakes.
"The teamwork, the engineering, was so much better," he added.
"We really understood where we went wrong, we really understood where the car was wrong, why we couldn't activate the tyres.
"We came here with real knowledge, rather than an idea of what potentially might have been the case and 'we'll try a couple of them'. We came here with a real know-how of how to fix it."
CANADA FASTEST LAP WAS FOR DATA
Hamilton added that his surprise fastest lap in the final stages of the Canadian GP was not for "fun", but rather for data purposes.
The lap time was a second faster than his previous best in the race, and came when he was comfortably ahead of his team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
"It was not for fun," he said. "I had not really needed to put the car on the limit during the race.
"When I come back and do my engineering I have to give back information, and I get a lot of that information from doing 70 laps of the track.
"There are several different states you can put the car in, and I was like 'one lap I need to put the car properly on the limit'.
It was firstly to see how the tyres react – do they wake up, do they get better, do they get worse, does the car react differently on the kerbs?
"If I hadn't done that lap, I would have come out of an hour and 45 minutes, or whatever it is, with a little bit less information."

First-Timer Farewell. Bamber's New Team Earns Porsche 911 GT3 R Farewell Win at Bathurst.
It was a half-a-day of firsts and lasts for Porsche Motorsport at the Bathurst 12 Hour in Australia. The opening round of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge (IGTC) saw Porsche adds its name, for the first time, to the list of overall winners at the Mount Panorama Circuit. Earl Bamber Motorsport (EBM), the GT Team fielded by Porsche factory driver Earl Bamber, earned its first victory in Australia's premier GT race. The race win officially closed the door on the Type 991.1 Porsche 911 GT3 R entry, with the next 911 customer racer debuting a week earlier at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Works driver Dirk Werner (Germany) as well as two Porsche Young Professionals Matt Campbell (Australia) and Dennis Olsen (Norway) brought the EBM GT3 car over the start-finish line in first-place. The untried customer team, managed by Porsche works driver Bamber (New Zealand), triumphed at its maiden outing, on an international stage, in the 12-hour contest against experienced teams from eight other manufacturers.
In a breathtaking closing act, local hero Campbell ultimately beat his top-league rivals with a drive befitting his new role as a Porsche Young Professional. In the final 20-minutes of the race that started before dawn, Campbell passed three vehicles, one after the other with perfectly executed maneuvers and swept into the lead with the No. 912 Porsche 911 GT3 R. His teammates, Werner and Olsen, drove strong stints and his EBM team worked flawlessly with a perfect strategy to lay the foundation for this victory.
Lady Luck, however, was not shining on their team colleagues Romain Dumas (France), Sven Müller (Germany) and Mathieu Jaminet (France). From the race's midpoint, the driver trio in the Porsche 911 GT3 R swapped the lead with the sister vehicle over long stretches, however the No. 911 car did not see the finish. With three hours remaining, a power steering issue hampered the charge and led to its retirement.
North American-based Black Swan Racing was forced to withdraw from the event following a practice session accident at the corner known as "The Chase". The No. 540 Porsche 911 GT3 R – which is scheduled to race in the full IGTC season as well as the GTD class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championships Michelin Endurance Cup – suffered heavy damage and was beyond repair. Driver/Team principal Tim Pappas (Boston, Massachusetts) had no choice but to retire the race car he was to share with Jeroen Bleekemolen (The Netherlands) and Marc Lieb (Germany).
For the opening round of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge season, the 2018-spec version of the 500 hp GT3 car was campaigned for the final time, as stipulated by the rules. Beginning with the second race of the IGTC season at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca (Monterey, California), customer teams will race the new version of the vehicle, which celebrated its race debut in the Rolex 24 At Daytona on January 26 – 27. The new Porsche 911 GT3 R features numerous improvements in terms of drivability, aerodynamics, safety and kinematics.

Wright Plans. World Challenge GT Champions Return to GT Series in 2019.
Wright Motorsports will return to Blancpain GT World Challenge America (formally the Pirelli World Challenge, or PWC) competition in 2019 with two new Porsche 911 GT3 R entries. Sharing the seat of the No. 58 PRO-class Porsche will be Patrick Long (Manhattan Beach, California) and Scott Hargrove (Canada). Anthony Imperato (Brooklyn, New York) will lead the PRO/AM-class No. 91 Henry Repeating Arms entry alongside Matt Campbell (Australia) and Romain Dumas (France), with a driver sequence to be announced at a later date.
No stranger to the John Wright-led program and Porsche fans alike, Long will be entering his fourth consecutive season with the championship-winning team. This marks the Porsche factory driver's return to SRO America competition for the first time since claiming the 2017 Overall, Sprint and Team championships while helping Porsche earn the Manufacturer's title . With a wealth of knowledge and experience, the Californian looks to pick up right where he left off in his sixteenth year as a Porsche "works" driver.
Hailing from British Columbia, Hargrove joins Wright Motorsports as the reigning Blancpain GT World Challenge America champion and first rookie to claim the honor. The 23-year-old has quickly worked his way up the Porsche Young Driver pyramid by earning two additional championships in the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge Canada by Yokohama series, and over thirty victories with the marque. Having recently been slotted as the 2019 Porsche Selected Driver, Hargrove has every intention of capitalizing on that success teamed with Long.
Stepping up to his first full season of GT3 competition, Imperato has three seasons of driving Wright Motorsports-prepared Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars. The New Yorker has spent the last year getting to know the Porsche 911 GT3 R, having run the previous model in two SRO America events. With four podiums in the four 2018 races he contested, Imperato looks to keep the momentum rolling, alternating with Porsche "works" aces Dumas and Campbell.
The first of seven newly renamed, Blancpain GT World Challenge America events will kick off March 2-3 with two, 90-minute races at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas.
"Continuity in motorsport is something a driver can only hope for. I am honored to add a fourth chapter to my story with Wright Motorsports and to be back with a team that has the talent and focus to win. GT3 racing in today's landscape is ultra-close and that requires you to squeeze every hundredth of a second out of yourself. It tests your communication and trust as a group, so that's where I find comfort in building on what we've worked on together for the last three seasons."
Scott Hargrove, Driver, No. 58 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R.
"Joining Wright Motorsports in 2019 is an unexpected, but very exciting development. I've been a fan of Patrick Long for a long time and watched him race growing up. It's an honor for me to now be teammates with him and to join Wright Motorsports, with all of the experience they have. They've proven time and time again that they're a team to beat and I have no doubt that we're going to be a strong package. Like Patrick, I was fortunate to have gotten a taste of the new Porsche 911 GT3 R this month [in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona]. The car feels phenomenal and I'm eager to develop on what is already a very strong platform."
Anthony Imperato, Driver, No. 91 Henry Repeating Arms Porsche 911 GT3 R.
Porsche Legend. Walter Röhrl Inducted Into FIA Hall of Fame.
On January 30, German racing legend Walter Röhrl was named the first rally driver and non-Formula 1 world champion to be inducted into the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Motorsport Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place at the FIA headquarters in Paris.
Born in Regensburg, Bavaria, Röhrl (71) began his rally career in 1968, driving private vehicles. He became a factory driver in 1972, and immediately established himself among the world's elite drivers. Röhrl won the Monte Carlo Rally four times, driving four different marques, and was World Rally Champion twice. He drove a Porsche 924 in the 1981 German Rally Championship, and he also drove a Porsche 911 in the World Championship race in San Remo that year.
Röhrl won his class at the 1981 24 Hours of Le Mans co-driving a Porsche 944 LM with Jürgen Barth. As the 1980s continued, the German became more closely tied to Porsche leading to his role in assisting with the development of Porsche sports cars, starting with the Porsche 911 (type 964) Carrera 4 all-wheel drive.
Highlights of Röhrl's involvement with development and fine-tuning include the Porsche 959, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder super cars. In addition, Röhrl has been active around the world as a Porsche brand ambassador since 1993.

Carlsbad makes park ranger program permanent
Mountain bikers ride on a trail above Lake Calavera.
(Union-Tribune file photo by Charlie Neuman)
By Phil Diehl
May 19, 2018 6:52 PM PT
Rangers employed by the Carlsbad Police Department to patrol the city's parks, beaches and open-space preserves earned such high marks in their first nine months that the pilot program became permanent Tuesday.
Trespassing, vandalism, off-leash dogs and illegal campsites are addressed by the two full-time, unarmed, uniformed rangers, who carry handcuffs, a Taser and pepper spray. They patrol individually, working four 10-hour days a week, and are authorized to issue citations for minor violations.
"Job well done," Mayor Matt Hall said before the City Council voted unanimously to make the pilot program permanent. "It's been a real plus all along our open-space areas."
Carlsbad is one of the few cities in San Diego County to hire full-time park rangers, though several city parks have live-in caretakers. Some cities, such as Escondido, employ full- or part-time rangers in their parks and recreation department.
El Cajon's police department created two park ranger positions earlier this year, partly because of recent complaints about animal control and homeless issues. Del Mar, the county's smallest city, has one park ranger to back up lifeguards and sheriff's deputies patrolling the city's beaches. Most of the full-time park rangers in San Diego County are county or state employees.
Carlsbad has 27 parks, nearly 50 miles of trails, and 13 nature preserves, the largest of which is the Lake Calavera preserve in the city's northeastern quadrant. The Lake Calavera trails are popular with hikers and mountain bikers. The summit of a volcanic plug, once a column of molten lava, is a frequent destination at the elevation of 513 feet.
At Batiquitos Lagoon, in Carlsbad's southwestern quadrant near Encinitas, one of the most frequent problems has been people letting their dogs run without a leash on the preserve's two-mile trail, said Deb Mossa, vice president of the lagoon foundation's board.
"Since the inception of the ranger program, that has diminished considerably," Mossa told the City Council. "That has just been wonderful for Batiquitos."
"It really has made a difference," said Fred Sandquist, president of the lagoon foundation.
Mossa and Sandquist both praised the rangers for their friendly and professional way of dealing with the public.
City Council members said they have heard nothing but positive comments from residents about the program.
"This program was based on a philosophy of education first," police Capt. Mickey Williams told the council.
In all cases, the rangers talk to people first and try to gain their cooperation before issuing citations or taking another action, he said.
Statistics presented Tuesday back up that approach.
The two rangers made a total of 4,684 "educational contacts" and issued 1,310 verbal warnings, 109 written warnings, and 10 citations during their first nine months.
Most of their time was spent in the nature preserves, where the rangers made about 90 percent of their educational contacts. They made 477 of the contacts and issued four of the citations at parks, beaches and lagoons.
The ranger program is expected to cost the city a little under $300,000 in the fiscal year ahead.
Nearly half of the cost of the pilot program, or about $98,000, was provided by the San Diego Association of Governments, the region's planning agency. That money is unavailable for the permanent program.
The vehicle used for the program, a Toyota Tacoma truck, was purchased and outfitted using $50,875 in asset forfeiture funds, which are the proceeds from property seized in drug enforcement efforts.

The Leftovers' Characters Are All Too Enigmatic For Us To Care About
Lauren Davis
If the second episode of post-Rapturish drama The Leftovers proved anything, it's that things happen on this show because they happen—with little other explanation. When it comes to the show's more mystical elements, that's all well and good, but when it comes to the characters, it's a huge, glaring problem.
Ostensibly, The Leftovers is a show about coping with both sudden loss and a world whose rules no longer make sense, and each member of the Garvey got their own plot line about this brave new world—with varying degrees of success. The most baffling of the four plots belongs to Tom, who has been working for the horrible guru Wayne. Apparently, the so-called holy man has been sleeping with the underage girls living on his compound (no surprise there), prompting a government raid. Tom ends up shooting an agent who threatens Christine with gun, and serves as her protector as they go on the lam.
Tom's killing of the agent makes sense; Christine is his friend and the scene is a tense, dangerous one. But what isn't clear is why he's following Holy Wayne in the first place. Wayne comes off as both manic and gruesomely disturbed, making out with a dead body one moment and spouting off mystical mumbo-jumbo the next. Supposedly he has some magical ability to unburden people, but it seems that Tom hasn't partaken of this unburdening. We're told that Wayne's followers tend to be stupid college kids, and Tom fits that bill, but there has to be more to him. "You're the one motherfucker I can't figure out," Wayne tells him. Yeah, we can't figure him out, either. I guess now that he's going on a road trip with Christine, we'll have time to get to know him.
Meanwhile, Tom's mother Laurie is being all mysterious herself, hanging out with Liv Tyler in her not-a-cult. The problem isn't really that we don't fully understand the Guilty Remnant—there's obviously something compelling about them, something that draws people to them even though they don't understand why. The problem is that we don't understand the emotional journey of Liv Tyler's character, Meg. There's a nice world building moment when Kevin goes to the GR compound interview Meg, casually telling one of the other initiates that his missing person cases is closed. The police in this world are doing the best they can, but all they have are bureaucratic procedures. They can't re-order a world gone askew. But otherwise, Meg is a bit of a mystery. We know that she was dragging her feet on getting married, but we don't know precisely why. (Perhaps we're just meant to assume that she wasn't ready to move on from the events of October 14th?) Her reasons for joining the GR are as vague as Tom's reasons for following Wayne: "I don't want to feel this way anymore." That and a lot of tree chopping moves her into their circle.
Kevin sits in a sort of funny position in the world, one that's a bit easier to understand, but is piled with mysteries of its own. He accepts that the world has gone funny; he will not apologize for shooting the feral dogs because he understands that the dogs went mad. He isn't exactly thrilled when the dog hunter shows up on his doorstep announcing that he's found another pack, but when his father, who has been hospitalized for apparent mental illness, tells him that the voices who talk to him have sent Kevin someone to help, he's inclined to believe him—and so are we. Much like the cause of the "Rapture" doesn't much matter, I'm not sure that the nature of the voices in the ex-police chief's head needs any sort of explanation or revelation. There's a crack in the world and a lot of potentially supernatural shit has flooded inside. (Or, perhaps the show is telling us that a bagel has gotten stuck in the toaster of the world, and we shouldn't be surprised when we smell smoke.) What does matter is the nature of the relationship between Kevin's father and Mayor Warburton, suggesting that the antagonism between Lucy—who wants Mapleton to move on—and Kevin—who wants to acknowledge that the world has changed—has a familial tenor to it. That's the stuff that we need to understand better, but it's information the show seems determined to hold away from us. Maybe it's supposed to be tantalizing, but the effect is frustrating instead.
The best story of the night by far belongs to Jill, who runs into Nora Durst (the woman whose entire family disappeared in the Sudden Departure) in a coffee shop and spots a gun in her purse. Nora seems to be testing the limits of her martyr status in the town—deliberately breaking a coffee mug and then watching the barista light up in apology when he recognizes her—and it's no wonder that Jill and Aimee would want to spend their day following her around. Jill sense of curiosity and connection to Nora makes sense; they both have experienced loss as a result of Departure Day, even if that loss has taken on different forms. And Nora perfectly embodies what The Leftovers is supposed to be about—how people cope with the inexplicable. Nora's response to Departure Day is to become part of the bureaucracy that is trying to comprehend it; she interviews people whose loved ones have Departed, gathering data in the hopes that it will add up to something that makes the slightest bit of sense. These interviews feel necessary, but they're also incredibly traumatic for some of the interviewees, who won't receive government benefits until they answer questions about the number of sexual partners their loved ones had. Nora's kinship with these people affected by Departure Day is overshadowed by her participation in the system that's meant to provide answers—answers that she probably suspects will never come.
More stories like Nora's, please. In a show that's centered around an unexplained event, we need concrete people to hold onto. We need to understand something of their motivations, of their responses to Departure Day. The responses don't always have to be logical; they don't always have to make complete sense, but The Leftovers is being far too coy with most of its characters when it should be asking us to connect with them.

The internet is aing of information, but sometimes what you're attractive for needs a altered approach. Whether you're attractive for accessible records, ancestors trees, or actually old archives, it's time to do some offline digging like an old-school journalist. Here's how to get started.
Accomplish no mistake: the Internet is a researcher's dream. Whether you're attractive for accurate information, busting controversies, or aloof aggravating to beef up your own arguments, the net is all-inclusive and infinite. However, there are some things that aloof haven't gone agenda yet.
Like we said, the Internet a acceptable starting point, abnormally if all you charge is general, easily-accessible ability on a topic. However, if you actually appetite to apprentice the capacity on a topic, like ed history, how your burghal was founded, who lived area you do today, or alike what your association looked like a decade ago—or alike a aeon ago—you charge added detailed, specific resources.

"If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will permit none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee" (Ex. 15:26).
When Israel crossed the Red Sea and started toward their homeland, the Lord spoke these words to them and revealed Himself as Jehovah-Rapha.
Jehovah-Rapha translated is, "I am the Lord thy Physician," or "I am the Lord that healeth thee." God didn't put diseases upon Israel or upon the Egyptians.
It is Satan, the god of this world, who makes man sick. Jehovah declares that He is the Healer.
Confession: Jehovah-Rapha "I am the Lord that healeth thee," is the name of my Lord.


IN AN attempt to be more inclusive, the Navy has expanded its hair rules for female sailors, now permitting braids, ponytails and lock hairstyles.
Women in the Navy will also be allowed to wear wider hair buns under the new rules that came into effect Wednesday (Jul 11).
The announcement was made during a Facebook Live held Tuesday (Jul 10) with the Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson and Chief of Naval Personnel Adm. Robert Burke.
According to CNN, Richardson said that the move was to make the US Navy "much more inclusive."
- Ponytails, single braids and French braids will be allowed when wearing service, working and physical training uniforms.
- Hair buns can now be the width of the back of the head.
- Lock hairstyles may be worn in short, medium and long hair lengths. The partings must be square or rectangular "in order to maintain a neat and professional appearance."
- Female sailors can wear their hair down, below the lower edge of the collar of their blouse, jacket, or coat when they're in dinner dress uniforms.
Other branches of the military have also updated their hair policies for women in recent years, according to Military.com.
The Marine Corps approved locks for women in in 2015 and the Army did the same earlier this year.
