The automobile industry is huge, as are all the various ancillary services provided to cater to the industry. There are auto traders, car rentals, car repair shops, mechanics, car washes, garages, auto painting, auto glass, body shops, vehicle diagnostics… the list goes on and on. All these enterprises, however big or small, need a web presence – and luckily, there's a pretty impressive range of themes and templates available — all specifically designed for automobile-related businesses.


The FAA says new evidence showed possible similarities between the Ethiopian Airlines crash and a Lion Air crash in October involving the same type plane.
WASHINGTON — The Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order Wednesday grounding all Boeing 737 Max aircraft in the wake of a crash of an Ethiopian airliner that killed 157 people, a reversal for the U.S. after federal aviation regulators had maintained it had no data to show the jets are unsafe.
Daniel Elwell, acting head of the FAA, said enhanced satellite images and new evidence gathered at the crash site led his agency to ground the jets.
The data, he said, linked the behavior and flight path of Ethiopian Airline's Max 8 to data from the crash of a Lion Air jet that plunged into the Java Sea and killed 187 people in October.
Elwell said he couldn't detail what was found on the ground because the investigation is in its early stages and is continuing.
President Donald Trump, who announced the grounding and had received assurances Monday from Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg that the Max aircraft was sound, said the safety of the American people is of "paramount concern."
Trump said any plane currently in the air will go to its destination and then be grounded, adding that pilots and airlines have been notified.
"There are delivery dates that aren't being met, there's usage of the aircraft that's not being met, and all the supply chain things that Boeing so carefully crafted," Cox said. "If they can't deliver the airplanes, where do they put the extra engines and the extra fuselage and the extra electrical components?
"All of those things are going to continue to show up but they're not going to be able to deliver the airplanes, so it has a very far reaching effect to many, many different organizations."
On Wednesday, the company's shares sank to $363.36 after the FAA made its announcement but then recovered to close at $377.14, up 0.5 percent for the day. It rose slightly in after-hours trading to $377.50.
He said the new information indicated that the Ethiopian Airline jet's automatic system kicked in to force the nose of the aircraft down after computer software determined it was too high. He said that in the case of the Lion Air crash off Indonesia, the pilot fought against computer software that wanted to drop the nose of the plane.
Gillies reported from Toronto. AP writers Elias Meseret and Yidnek Kirubel in Hejere, Ethiopia, Tom Krisher in Detroit and Cathy Bussewitz and Alexandra Olson in New York contributed to the story.

Hurricane warning for parts of Florida as Hermine strengthens

Storm bears down on Florida, hurricane threatens Hawaii

Hurricane Earl hits Belize near capital, prompting flooding fears
Disney to post alligator warning signs after boy's death
Hurricane specialist Eric Blake works at the National Hurricane Centre to track the path of Tropical Storm Hermine, which strengthened yesterday and is expected to make landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast.
Reuters/Tampa
Tropical Storm Hermine picked up strength and was expected to be a hurricane when it reaches Florida's north Gulf Coast, bringing heavy rains and high winds that forecasters warned could cause catastrophic flooding.
With as much as 20" (51cm) of rain expected, schools in several Florida coastal counties were closed yesterday and some low-lying areas already have seen floods from Hermine.
After battering the coast, the storm is expected to move across the northern part of the state and then barrel toward southern US coastal regions on the Atlantic.
"Take this storm seriously," said Bryan Koon, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
Governor Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency to free up state resources to battle the storm, with 49 of Florida's 67 counties covered by the declaration.
As of 8am EDT (1200 GMT), the storm was about 195 miles off the Florida coast and packing maximum sustained winds of 65mph (100kph).
In addition to heavy rains, it was expected to cause isolated tornadoes and bring storm surges of up to 6' (1.8m), the National Hurricane Centre in Miami said.
"There is a danger of life-threatening inundation within the next 36 hours along the Gulf coast of Florida," it said.
Large parts of Florida's panhandle coast were under a hurricane warning, while flash flood watches stretched from Florida into South Carolina.
On its current path, the storm also could dump as much as 10" (25cm) of rain on coastal areas of Georgia, which was under a tropical storm watch, and the Carolinas.
Yesterday Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency for 56 counties that extends through midnight tomorrow.
A tropical storm warning also was issued for the US East Coast from Marineland, Florida, to South Santee River, South Carolina, the National Hurricane Centre said.
US oil and gas producers removed workers from 10 offshore platforms in the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico, moved drilling rigs and shut some output because of the storm.
As of yesterday morning, the storm had not caused any major disruption to US air travel, according to tracking service FlightAware.com.
The hurricane centre also said in an advisory that another storm, Hurricane Gaston, will move near the Azores today.
In the Pacific, Hurricane Madeline weakened to a tropical storm as it passed south of Hawaii's Big Island, where officials had opened shelters and shuttered offices and schools on Wednesday.
Before the tropical storm moves westward out of reach of Hawaii, it is expected to dump as much as 15" (40cm) of rain on parts of the Big Island, the National Weather Service said.
Hurricane Lester, currently a major Category 4 storm, could affect Hawaii during the weekend.
Hawaii Governor David Ige has already signed an emergency proclamation freeing up state resources which runs through September 9.

We had too much snow in the yard for Norah to play outside, actually. She had to crawl over the top of the snow piles, rather than walk on them because with every step, she'd sink up to her knees... so she hasn't even asked to go outside in weeks. I guess I should will try and take her to the Jump Zone this week. Now that I consider it, the girl probably really needs some exercise.
I'm using this plan. But, I am very behind schedule. I am almost done with all the reading for the month of January, but that doesn't mean much since it's almost March! So, I am almost a full month behind. But... I am enjoying and benefiting from the reading I have done.
I'm taking this one off the list, officially. Holding hands is too impractical for us at this stage in our lives. If we were twelve, this might be something. I think I will have to find other, more effective ways to express my love to Dwayne on a regular basis. I have some ideas.
I am going to go back to listening to God. I prayed more when I wasn't the one doing all the talking, interestingly enough.
I read "To Kill a Mockingbird" in January. I read "The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" and another, shorter book about spiritual warfare called "Needless Casualties of War." My official book for March was going to be "Dumbing Us Down" by John Taylor Gatto. But, I've already finished that one, too! So, now I am moving on to Oliver Twist.
I started this as an experiment and it has already revolutionized the way I even think about food. I had only two bad-for-me items this month (french fries and cheese steak) and both of them ended up in the toilet... and I mean that they came from my mouth into the toilet. I think my body is beginning to reject food that isn't nutritious.
I am doing really well with this, going to bed earlier helps.
I am daydreaming about planting colorful pansies in my flower basket on the deck. My eyes are so color starved with this barren winter landscape, but I still have to wait a few weeks before I can even do that much "gardening."
Yeah, I'm not doing that well with this one. But, I am doing better than I did before I ever resolved to change.
Also doing better than before. These days, I will often beat Dwayne to bed.

SUNY Cortland's 2020 Football Season Wiped Out as Empire 8 Postpones Fall Sports
Community, Featured, News, Public Safety, Sports
CORTACA 2019. (Photo taken by Ross Cohen/Cortland Voice).
This is a press release from SUNY Cortland Athletics.
The Empire 8 conference's Presidents Council has voted unanimously to postpone all fall competition in nine sports, including football, for the 2020 season due to the continued evolution of the COVID-19 virus and the challenges it provides to safe athletics competition. SUNY Cortland is an affiliate member of the league for football, and as a result of this decision the Red Dragons will not be playing any football games in the fall of 2020.
Cortland was scheduled to play six Empire 8 games this fall, and two of the Red Dragons' scheduled non-league games versus Washington & Lee University and The College of New Jersey had already been eliminated when those schools canceled their seasons earlier this summer. Cortland was also scheduled to play non-league games at Buffalo State and at home versus Ithaca, and both of those games will no longer be played as well.
Individual Empire 8 institutions will continue to have the ability to engage in athletic-related activity this fall to provide beneficial opportunities for their student-athletes and teams in accordance with local health policy.
"Although we all knew this was a scenario that could play out for fall sports and football, and especially with a lot of the recent announcements coming out, it still stings quite a bit to have to officially say and know that there will not be a season," said Cortland Director of Athletics Mike Urtz. "My heart really goes out to the players and the staff. That said, we will focus on what we can do, whatever that ends up being. Ultimately, we will get as ready as we can for the future. We still plan on staying engaged and creating an opportunity for these young men to take part in some form of activity that they love to be a part of."
Cortland finished with an 8-3 overall record and shared the Empire 8 crown with 5-1 league mark in 2019. The Red Dragons hired Curt Fitzpatrick as its head coach this past spring after Dan MacNeill's retirement following 23 seasons. Fitzpatrick was the head coach the last seven seasons at Empire 8 member Morrisville State.
"My heart breaks for our players, especially our seniors," said Fitzpatrick. "When we left for spring break back in March and found out that we would not be returning the rest of the spring semester our focus shifted to making the best out of any opportunities that we were presented with. Our plan was to be ready when we are called upon, and while that won't be this fall like we had hoped, it will be sometime – and we'll be ready. We did not blink in the face of that adversity, and we won't now either."
Decisions are still forthcoming regarding the status of Cortland's other fall sports. Seven of Cortland's nine fall sports are members of the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) and the women's golf team competes in the Northeast Women's Golf Conference.

To protect my work, there is a small watermark on each image. For non-watermarked versions please visit my etsy shop.
The watercolor carrots are very nice, but why are you offering a free download of a design with a watermark on it?
I am trying to find a balance between offering fun images for my readers and supporting my etsy store. It is common practise for bloggers to watermark images. But I am new to this! So perhaps I will only offer the framed images and not the ones with the faded watermark across? Still working out the kinks, thanks for your feedback!

Rodman: Kim Jong Un 'My F***ing Friend, I Love Him'
By Andrew Johnson
About Andrew Johnson
Follow Andrew Johnson on Twitter
Dennis Rodman continued to emphasize his bizarre affection for North Korea's Kim Jong Un, even when pressed about the dictator's atrocities. While in Beijing with seven other former NBA players en route to Pyongyang to take part in an exhibition game for Kim's birthday, Sky News confronted the Worm about why his "friend for life" has locked up 200,000 people in North Korean prison camps.
Rodman asserted that it wasn't his "job" to address those concerns with Kim, but hoped that his involvement arranging the game could "open the doors" to negotiations for those in a better position to handle it. He said bringing the subject of prison camps up would infringe on the nature of their friendship.
"That's not the right thing to do," Rodman said. "He's my friend first — he's my friend, I don't give a s***. I tell the world: he's my f***ing friend, I love him."
At one point, as the reporter continued to challenge the former NBA star about Kim's murderous regime, Rodman tried to deflect pressure off of Kim by claiming that "a lot of people in America locked up like that too."
