No diesel ‘firesale’ in sight as dealers remain confident over fuel’s future

Monday, April 8, 2019 - 10:18
Comments off

Rachael Prasher, managing director of What Car?

Diesel car prices are holding firm despite the dramatic drop in demand for new cars powered by the fuel, according to research by Britain’s leading consumer champion and new car buying platform What Car?.

Analysis of the UK car market by What Car?’s Target Price mystery shoppers found the average discount on a new diesel car in the beginning of March was 7.82% off the list price, or £2731. Discounts on diesel were only marginally higher than for petrol models, which stood at 7.11% or £2101. Alternative fuel vehicles were discounted on average by 4.42% and £1725.

Rachael Prasher, managing director of What Car?, said: “Despite the negative press in recent times, diesel remains an optimal choice for many drivers and our research suggests the industry has adjusted its supply to meet the lower demand, and that many buyers know buying diesel can still make sense.

“Our mystery shoppers analyse data from across the country, and we back our research by having all new cars available to buy from retailers with at least the Target Price discount saving applied through What Car?’s website,”

According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), March saw a 21.4% drop in new diesel registrations, while petrol was up by 5.1%. Diesel’s overall market stood at 27.4%.

Across all makes, models and fuel types from January to March, Citroen offered the biggest percentage discounts – with buyers saving on average 11.41% off the list price. Volkswagen vehicles came with the second largest percentage discounts, while Vauxhall and Seat offered the third and fourth largest savings to new car buyers.

Average discounts across all brands dropped from 7.14% in January to 6.95% in March, with new car buyers receiving on average £2652 off the list price at the beginning of March.

Ocean Freight Market Updates

American Toymakers Reeling Following Tariff Announcements Following the latest round of tariff announcements, many toy companies — including Hasbro — are looking for ways to reduce Chinese imports. Hasbro currently imports two-thirds of its toys from China but hopes to drop that to half by the end of 2020.

Additive Manufacturing on the Rise Otherwise known as 3D printing, additive manufacturing is becoming a feasible option for businesses looking to lower supply chain costs for manufactured parts. Companies like BMW and Adidas have invested in the technology despite the fact that it accounts for only 0.1% of the $12.7 trillion global manufacturing market.

Air Freight Market Update

Customs and Trade Updates

Changes Coming to Importer-Broker Verifications CBP for years has said they want customs brokers to verify more information on the importers they are working with. Typically brokers have collected more of the importer's information than is required to protect themselves. CBP posted a proposed rule on the Federal Register which would require brokers to collect and verify more information on their importers during the validation of the POA than has been asked in the past. The information would also need to be re-verified on an annual basis on every data point, and also be able to produce a record of those re-verifications and whether anything has changed. There would be a 2-3 year grace period for existing customers so brokers can have time to adapt to a final rule. Comments are due on October 14th for the changes. Some of the suggestions that appear they will receive the most comments are; getting a signors date of birth, copy of a government-issued ID, a recent credit report, in-person meeting, and visiting a client's place of business.

CBP Modifies Post-Summary Corrections CBP has posted a change to its rules regarding PSC's on entries where liquidation has been extended. The rule currently was a PSC must be transmitted up to 15 days before the scheduled liquidation date. Typically entries liquidate 314 days after the entry date, however many of the Section 301 product exclusions that have been granted were done so after the 300-day time frame. Now when it's close to liquidation the importer can request that CBP extend liquidation for that entry, and a PSC would be accepted beyond the 300-day limit.

ADD on Refillable Stainless Steel Kegs From Mexico The Department of Commerce issued a final determination in regards to the antidumping duty investigation (A-201-849). A final injury determination is currently scheduled for September 26th. Commerce is also looking at dumping orders for refillable stainless steel kegs from China and Germany. They have also declared critical circumstances after determining that there has been a surge of the refillable kegs being imported from Mexico. There was a surge of imports during the months before the preliminary determination of the investigation. This suspends the liquidation of subject merchandise to 90 days prior to the preliminary determination or March 6, 2019.

Customs Fees Increasing CBP published a Federal Register notice stating the fees will increase starting October 1st, 2019. Notably, MPF's new maximum is now at $519.76.

Prostate Artery Emblisation for the treatment of BPH – new literature

In the last weeks two really remarkable papers were published dealing with the Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) for the treatment of BPH (=Benign Prostate Hyperplasia).

The vast majority of previous publications regarding PAE were published in Interventional Radiology journals since this treatment is performed by Interventional Radiologist – hopefully in close cooperation with urologists. For that reason these two publications are a real milestone in the acceptance of PAE as a treatment alternative to the current goldstandard TURP (=transurethral resection of the prostate) in BPH patients.

The first paper was published in the journal Current Opinion in Urology (Young S, Golzarian J. Prostatic artery embolization for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a review. Current opinion in urology 2018; 28:284-287). This very important urological journal delivers a broad-based perspective on the most recent and most exciting developments in urology from across the world. I am very happy that one of the two managing editors of the journal is Prof. Dr. Shahrokh Shariat, the chair of the Department of Urology at the Medical University of Vienna. I definitely hope and think that this fact will have a positive influence on the acceptance of the PAE in Austria. The authors of the present review-paper conclude the following: “Initial data on PAE shows it can provide excellent clinical outcomes with patients experiencing minimal complications. However, more high-quality, high-level data are needed particularly in regards to long-term outcomes to determine durability.”. These conclusions are very important and positive for the future of PAE: 1.) The method works. 2.) The method is save and shows only minimal and rare complications.

curr op nur

Another milestone dealing PAE was published a few days ago by the „National Institute for Health and Care Excellence“ (NICE). This independent institution is a one of the pioneers in quality assessment in healthcare. NICE carries out assessments of the most appropriate treatment regimes for different diseases. This must take into account both desired medical outcomes (i.e. the best possible result for the patient) and also economic arguments regarding differing treatments. The present NICE publication deals with the PAE in all details and presents this method as a minimal invasive and safe treatment alternative in BPH-patients to the current gold-standard TURP (=transurethral resection of the prostate).

A few days after this publication the “Austrian Society of Urology” published a very negative statement regarding PAE in BPH treatment – to sum up: “this method is invasive, not save and can harm the patients”. I will not comment on this article but I really can recommend the reading of it ( It is just amazing and funny – and every reader easily can assess the real motivation of the publication of this article.

Sweet Caroline! Marks, Geiselman win Florida Pro

Sue DeWerff

The lyrics of Neil Diamonds’ “Sweet Caroline,” could not have served as a more appropriate encore after 15 year-old Melbourne Beach native Caroline Marks paddled to the beach after winning her first WSL women’s QS 6000 Tuesday afternoon at the Florida Pro.

Marks, who won every heat en route to her first QS victory during the 6-day contest at Sebastian Inlet, “Where it all began for her just seven short years ago,” put on a final round performance that not only brought her parents to tears, but the hometown crowd to their feet.

This win will not only now put her in a solid point position for the women’s QS ranking, but ultimately proved that she will be a threat as the WSL’s newest 2018 rookie on the women’s championship tour.

Melbourne Beach's Caroline Marks celebrates after capturing the Ron Jon Florida Pro presented by Sunshine State Florida Lager surf contest at Sebastian Inlet on Tuesday.

“This is definitely the best moment of my life,” said Marks. “I am so happy and stoked to start off the year this way.”

“My brothers used to tease me when they heard this song, but now I think I have a greater appreciation for it,” she laughed.

Marks, was able to hold off Western Australia’s Bronte Macualay, 12.67 to 6.20, using her knowledge of her hometown break combined with her deadly backhand maneuvers. In the semis, she ousted number one QS women’s seed, Hawaiian Tatiana Weston-Webb. Macaulay and Marks respectively put up the best two- wave combined heat totals of the event during earlier rounds, over 17 points.

Melbourne Beach's Caroline Marks carves up a wave during Tuesday's final rounds of the Ron Jon Florida Pro presented by Sunshine State Florida Lager. Marks, 15, claimed the title at hometown break, Sebastian Inlet.

On the men’s side, New Smyrna Beach’s Evan Geiselman, the current number one ranked North American top ranked QS seed, won the QS1500 contest. It was his third QS win.

“I am thrilled to have won this, and happy to be back home in Florida again.”

Knowing that he needed a 7.76 score with just under three minutes left in the heat to gain the lead,

Geiselman found a right that earned him the needed score; an 8.87.

Though Marshall, who had priority, opted to take the left on the split peak situation to solidify his lead, he fell just short, earning a 7.10.

New Smyrna Beach's Evan Geiselman is carried off the beach Tuesday after winning the men's portion of the Florida Pro at Sebastian Inlet. He also won the Beach 'N Boards contest in Cocoa Beach last spring.

“Though I surfed well throughout the event, I felt I was making a lot of errors during this heat on my strategy, so I am really fortunate to have pulled off this win,” added Geiselman.”

“Surfing can be like chess, and I am lucky. Jake surfed awesome and really made me work for this one.”

Geiselman and Marks earned $10k and $11k respectively for their wins.

The final day of the event Wednesday will feature an exhibition surfing contest entitled “Champions and Icons,” including event director Matt Kechle, Todd Holland, Corey and Shea Lopez and twins, CJ and Damien Hobgood and more. For details visit

Questions & Answers

Q: Is the Flycraft Stealth boat stable?
A: It’s extremely stable. In fact it was designed to allow two people to stand and fish safely. We kept the perfect amount of width to keep it stable but got a tremendous amount of performance out of the narrower design. Pair this with our high pressure drop stitched floor and you have an extremely stable watercraft.

Q: Is it self bailing
A: We tested this boat as a self bailer and found the performance of the sealed floor far outweighed the benefits of a self bailer due to the tracking, maneuverability and shallower draft. With a self bailer you always have water in the bottom of your boat, which makes it heavier and not ride as high. The advantage is if you take water on it will drain automatically. We take a little hand bilge, and we find that does the trick for us. The real secret is letting your feet drip off while climbing in the boat. Having the floor sealed helps you motor much fast and efficiently as well

Q: Is it a two-man raft or solo raft?
A: All of the above. You can use the Stealth as a two-man raft and with swivel seats, you can switch off rowing. Or a solo-raft. With the 2:1 anchor system, it's super slick to drop anchor and fish solo or with two people. The anchor will keep you pointing straight down river. It's also very easy to transport solo.

Q: What about bringing a kid along too?
We offer a 3rd seat that attaches to our rear rack for anyone under 100 lbs.

Q: How durable is this boat/ what’s the bottom made of?
A: It was designed with an extra layer of armor protecting the tubes as well as skid plates on the four corners which are the highest wear areas. It was designed to be dragged when needed.

Q: How much draft?
A: About 3-4” depending on how heavy it's loaded.

Q: Does is pack up?
A: The frame breaks into 7 pieces and the raft deflates and roll up. You can store it in a closet, put it in your truck, or even fly with it.

Q: How heavy/long/wide is it?

Q: Does it balance well with 1 person?
A: Yes it does. This is as much a one person boat as it is a 2, but now when you’re fishing alone you’re in a boat that you can stand up and fish from, anchor, and transport easily..

Q: Can I fit another person?
A: The back cargo rack can be converted into a seat for children.

Q: Does it come with a lean bar?
A: It has a built in reverse lean bar. Instead of having something in front of you that you have to cast around and can tangle your line, we’ve incorporated it behind your legs. If you position your legs on each side of the boat pressing against the tubes with your calves against the frame you’ll find you are extremely stable. Plus it keeps the area clear around you for better fishability and no line tangles.

Q: Can I take my dog with me?
A: Our rafts our rugged enough to withstand the shallow streams and rocky put ins we fish, so dogs are no problem whatsoever. The rigid and flat bottom of the boat provide a much more stable platform for dogs than any other small vessel so your dog can move around without rocking the boat. The rear cargo rack can also be converted into a comfortable and out of the way dog platform.

Q: How long will this boat last me?
A: Depends on how hard you use it. But a lifetime of 10-20 years should be expected.

Q: What happens if I get a hole?
A: We’ve designed this watercraft to withstand what the river can throw at it, however with hard use things can happen. If this happens, simply patch the leak or we can do it for you. Any manufacturer’s defects are covered under our 3 year warranty.

Q: Can you put a motor on it?
A: Yes, any gas or electric up to 30 pounds (so if you have a 5 horse that weighs 50 lbs, it's too heavy but we sell a great motor that works great.)

Q: Is the Stealth susceptible to being punctured by a hook?
A: The Stealth is very hook-resistant. Due to the tube diameter it is hard for a hook to even hook onto the tube and puncture it. We know of two punctures from a hook in 5 years. Both were quickly and easily patched up. Every boat comes with an easy-to-use patch kit.

Q: How do I prevent idle deterioration (storing it between seasons)?
A: Store the Stealth out of weather and sun. The recommended way to store it is to leave it inflated with a little less air pressure. But if you need to keep it loosely rolled up in a closet or garage, that'll work too.

Q: What size rapids does the Stealth handle?
A: The Stealth is rated for class II rapids. We've seen it handle higher class ratings, no problem. But it depends on the skill level of the oars-person. We default to our class II rating to error on the side of caution.

Q: I need a custom package that is not listed as an option on your site. What should I do?
A: You can do one of two things: You can easily build out a custom order on our site by adding to cart the Stealth package that is closest to your needs, then simple add on any extra gear you need … or give us a call and we’ll gladly build it out for you.

Q: Can I put your rack on my Stealth and a motor
A: You can. The motor package does not come with a rack but you can easily add it to your order. And the rack and motor can be attached at the same time, no problem. Just be aware, you may have to do a little smart packing with your gear, you don’t want to stack your gear too high, so it’s in the way of moving the tiller. We also sell two great tiller extension handles, to make things more comfortable for you. Just click HERE to add a rack.

Q: How long will it take for a newbie to have the Stealth put together and floating?
A: If you use an electric pump and you've put the boat together a few times (with tool free hardware and quick releases), 10 minutes for one person is very realistic. With a hand pump, two people could set it up in that time. Most people can easily set it up in 10-20 minutes. You may find that you also do not need to break it down all the way for transport or storage - this saves time too.

Q: How does the Stealth handle in the ocean with salt water and surf?
A: The Stealth handles salt water, no problem. The boat’s frame is super durable powder coated 6063 T5 aluminum. If you want to be extra good to your boat, just hose it off after taking it out on the sea. And the Stealth is great for calm surf days and protected bays. It’s rated for class II rapids.

Q: Can you give me ALL the boat specs?
A: Yep. Here they come ...

FRAME: 7 piece, 6063 T5 aluminum

I see it as being kind of thoughtful. If he knew he was going to break up with you in a year anyway, maybe he was trying to spare your feelings. Usually the longer a couple is together, the closer they are. It's possible he just didn't want you to become more attached then you already are.

I don't really understand why he would break up with you just because he was going to college.

It seems like you will be better off without him. You'll find the right guy soon.

  farfulz  |  6

people are known to change their minds. if he wasn't going away to college for another year he still has that time to consider his choice and determine if it's the best program for him.

  Iamnotmyself  |  17

The thing is that the OP is crying now, but wont cry (possibly) harder when she is broken up with later as she would be more attached to her boyfriends humongous dick....ness

  chaps93  |  6

I was recently in the same situation as her boyfriend and I tried staying with my girlfriend but the fact that I was moving away soon ruined our relationship and made us resent each other... I hope you two can still be friends after your break up

  Zapzip2013  |  0

No, he's not a jerk. He's only being sensible. he doesn't want to have to go through the break up just before college, would you?That's too much stress. It's inevitable, plus, a lot can happen in a year. after that year, if they were still dating, they would be closer, and the break-up would be even harder.

  DjeePee  |  24

But why should going to college inevitably lead to a break-up? I really don't get that mentality.

If you love eachother and if you're willing to do more effort and also accept the fact you will see eachother less than usual, than there is no reason for a relation to end. Even long term relationships can have a happy ending. Face it, OP's boyfriend just isn't interested in the effort and, probably, wants to have sex without boundaries.

  a_nutritionist  |  10

@46 thats your opinion. just because it works for some doesnt mean other people have any interest in it. people also remain in relationships after someone cheats, should everyone follow that mentality? no. because it doesnt suit them.
oh and even if he doesnt think he can maintain a relationship lacking sex, and thinks he would sleep around, then its his business and his prerogative to make that decision, hes not being deceitful.

  nicko_oz  |  4

well if he is moving away why stay in a relationship. You guys are obviously young and quite frankly relationships are hard to keep in tact in short distances let alone long. Its better he breaks up with you now and you write an FML about it then you go to visit him at his dorm in 18 months time to find him with another girl.

He is being sensible it doesn't mean he doesn't like you it just means he may not like the idea of being in a long distant relationship at all and maybe he wants to just spend this year to concentrate on his studies even more before going.

Stand Strong

Stand strong.
You can't see where the path leads,
but walk it anyway.
Stand strong.
Cloudless sky and hunter squirrels
and repercussions of failed attempts
don't deter us.
Stand strong.
Protect and preserve the liberation stories,
they stand, steadfast and firm.
Stand strong
on the round of millennia of sisters and brothers
buried under our feet.
Stand strong
on their strengths that could not be snuffed,
waiting for this moment of transcendence.
Stand strong
in portals of courage, thresholds between
goodness within and the pain of the world.
Stand strong
in infuriating injustice and holiness.
Stand strong in the pause,
stand strong in your heart.

United States Retail September 2018

United States

United States: Retail sales growth remains subdued in September

October 15, 2018

Retail sales expanded 0.1% on a seasonally-adjusted month-on-month basis in September, matching August’s seven-month low but undershooting market analysts’ expectations of 0.6% for the second consecutive month. This signals that private consumption dynamics are likely starting to soften in the third quarter after recording strong growth in Q2, although near record-high consumer confidence in September indicates that domestic spending should remain robust heading into the holiday season.

The report from the Department of Commerce showed the September print was mostly weighed down by a 0.8% contraction in gasoline station sales (August: +1.1% month-on-month), as well as a 1.8% decline in spending at food services and drinking places. (August: +0.3% mom). Sales also contracted for health and personal care stores. On the other hand, food and beverage stores; furniture stores; motor vehicles and parts dealers; sporting goods, hobby, musical instruments and book stores; and clothing stores all saw their sales rebound from the contractions logged in August. The recoveries in furniture, and motor vehicles and parts sales were particularly strong. Lastly, sales growth accelerated for electronics and appliance stores, general merchandise stores, and non-store retailers—a rapidly-growing category which includes e-commerce businesses such as Amazon.

Excluding automobiles and gas, retail sales were flat in September, down from August’s revised 0.1% increase (previously reported: +0.2% mom) and below market expectations of 0.4% growth.

In annual terms, growth in retail sales slowed notably from a revised 6.5% in August (previously reported: +6.6% year-on-year), to 4.7% in September. Annual average retail sales growth inched down to 5.4% in September from 5.5% in August.

Overall, the September data seems to indicate waning momentum for private consumption growth amid growing, most trade-related, headwinds. Despite the welcomed rebound in September, motor vehicle sales remain a key source of concern, given their status as a major durable consumer goods staple. Indeed, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, motor vehicles and parts sales increased just 0.1% in the third quarter in seasonally-adjusted terms. Although the exceptionally tight labor market will likely continue to support consumer spending in coming months, ongoing rate hikes from the Federal Reserve should significantly dampen the momentum over time, given the elevated level of U.S. consumer debt. In addition, the latest round of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on USD 200 billion of Chinese imports will likely weigh on private spending dynamics in the near- to medium-term—particularly as the tariff rate is set to increase from 10% to 25% on 1 January 2019.

FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect private consumption to grow 2.4% in 2019, which is unchanged from last month’s forecast. For 2020, the panel sees private consumption increasing 2.0%.

Real Betis look to Fenerbahce’s Mauricio Isla

Real Betis are in talks to sign experienced Chilean Mauricio Isla, whose contract at Turkish giants Fenerbahce expires this summer.

As outlined by Estadio Deportivo, the 32-year-old – who has previously been linked with a move to Sevilla – could be on his way to Andalusia this summer but with Betis the favourites to land him.

An intermediary has reportedly offered Isla to a number of clubs including Betis and Boca Juniors, whom he is open to joining but has asked for more time before he gives a definitive answer.

Isla’s versatility is said to be highly valued by Betis – he is primarily a right wing-back but can play in a variety of position across either defence or midfield.

Across over a decade in European football, Isla has played for multiple clubs including Udinese, Juventus, Queen’s Park Rangers, Marseille and Cagliari, while he has spent the past three campaigns in Istanbul, while clocking up 115 international caps for Chile.

Chat room NEW MODEL suggestion - CUT THE NOISE!

  • Chat room NEW MODEL suggestion - CUT THE NOISE!

    I really like the new chat room layout and i have noticed that now it is possible to link myfxbook account, which is great

    And here is the suggestion, which would increase the reputation and trustworthy of the trading ideas and site by itself.
    Only people with at least 3 months of track record on live account and verified myfxbook could be able to share ideas.

    By this we could really cut the noise.... Honestly who trade all these ideas? I personally believe that there is no value to the traders who want to copy these ideas, they just might get confused.
    I believe also that it is better to focus on quality over the quantity. Having for example 10 verified traders who post their ideas is much more appealing to the crowd then ideas from XY unknown "traders".

    This 500$ award encouraged people who just want 500$ and don't care much about the efficency of the setup. The first sign is that no verified or older members is actually participating anymore and sharing ideas, because his signal would be just one of the many ideas from unknown people. I would really love to share end of the day trading signals and deep explanation which i have done it already few times but because of so much noise i believe people don't care about it and it has no value to them, they are confused i believe. Why? Because traders who really trade live, don't waste time with sharing ideas for free with 90% of demo traders, no sense....., but on the other side people who don't trade live, don't have anything smarter to do and post a lot, because they just want that 500$. See the attitude behind?

    Honestly i don't know who have got an idea that anyone can post trading ideas. 90% of the people fail in trading and why would we consciously bring this 90% right into this chat room. Isn't the job of a leader to cut the noise and seperate good trader from rocky demo trader?

    And these 1500$ per month from IC markets could be a little reward which would be spread among these verified traders. I believe that competition and collecting thanks is not appropriate for trading in this case. Because traders subconsciously share more and are looking for opportunities which might not even be in their trading plan if they have it at all. Thanks are great but not as a virtual value...

    So to recap :
    - Minimum track record is 3 months (+ short interview with trader)
    - Live trading account
    - Reward verified traders equaly otherwise they will not be willing to share ideas (waste of time for them)(minimum requirement is 1 trade per week for example, understand swing traders, maybe you can require a little bit in depth analysis on picture from these verified traders. Maybe also VIDEO TRADING IDEAS in a future?, this is a good one ...) (don't make it competition, trading is not like = emotions....competition = emotions/ go no go!

    Benefits of new model :
    - Better reputation of the site and chat room (verified traders)
    - More people would actually copy ideas (cuz of trust) trough your recommended brokers, mean more commissions
    - Traders who are looking for help on site would left site more educated, because of detailed analysis = more value = your goal right?, reduced confusion

    - Many rocky traders could leave because they would not be in game for 500$, but you don't have anything valuable from them Nick, most of them don't trade live at all (so this could be a benefit as well )

    Let me know what do you think guys!

    Marjan Rijavec / FX Protector / Forex Swing Traders

  • #2
    I believe the purpose is to improve the traders skill set of all levels in the room. Those who post ideas will probably become better traders as the months progress while those who hide in the dark will stay where they are. Posting ideas is great for debate if you encourage interaction, a simple thumbs up isn't valuable and doesn't encourage interaction.

    I think simpletrader needs to be integrated into the chatroom somehow so those who want to follow signals can easily see the signal available from that member.

    Right now, we have myfxbook links connected to our chatroom profile, why not add simpletrader too?

    The integration would then show the signals available within the Trading Idea section of the chatroom when a Member shares their trading idea. Then you can have your goal completed of

    "Only people with at least 3 months of track record on live account"

State warns business, government about scam

MADISON (AP) -- The state of Wisconsin is warning business owners and city governments to watch out for a scam involving fake invoices for telecommunications services.

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says businesses and city government offices around the state have recently received $425 invoices for a "telecom maintenance agreement.''

The apparent invoice comes from a company in California, even though no purchases were made from the business. Written complaints have been made by the cities of Eau Claire and Racine and businesses in Waupun, Green Bay and Elkhorn.

The state's Consumer Protection Bureau says it has sent the company an official warning concerning their violations of state and federal laws prohibiting solicitations disguised as bills.

CHANNELING TWIGGY for Salyse Magazine March 2018

This was definitely a big surprise for my team and I. For me not only is this the second time being published, but its the first time having work on a cover! The story behind the is shoot was mainly between the model featured, Jennifer Linke and I.  We first met back in 2014 at the Lizzy London fashion show in Virginia Beach, Virginia,  At that time we were both pretty much starting out. Her with modeling and me with slowly becoming a fashion photographer from doing events and starting to learn the in’s and out’s. After our first shoot we had a conversation from me asking what would be her most inspirational shoot to possibly be in. She named the 60’s Fashion Icon Twiggy! As the years past both of us progressed in our own crafts. Fast forward 2017 and she gave me heads up that she would be visiting the area pretty soon. I figured this would be a great time to put together the Twiggy inspiration shoot.  I first reached out to the Fashion Stylist Brandon Lee a.k.a. Mr. Blee with the concept. I didn’t even have a chance to show him picture inspo before he said “I’ll do it!” A little after he confirmed the clothing was ready I then reached out to the Professional Makeup Artist Victoria Dixon for her expertise. With her excitement of doing a retro look she was intrigued to be apart of the concept. Next up was the Hair Artist and Hair Stylist Hadney Alexander. With her hair mastery I knew she would definitely do and excellent job.  With the assistance of my good friend  and Fashion photographer Lo Garcia we were all able to put together a great shoot!  It goes to show that an editorial being a lot of work can definitely pay off. Feel free to enjoy the work and Let’s see what the rest of 2018 brings.

Where’s the Wildlife? – January

January and the new year usher in typically dry weather and blistering cold. This creates a lot of great opportunity for frigid portraits of wildlife, as well as landscapes in a deep freeze.

Moose and Calf in Blizzard

January was cold. We were in the heart of a historically cold and precipitous winter. The sun by this point had become a legend, forgotten behind the clouds that never seemed to lift from the valley, constantly dropping more and more snow as they had done since late November. Despite the Vitamin D deficiency the area was experiencing, along with the psychological aspects of not seeing direct sunlight for three months, I still made attempts to get out and shoot the remarkably unique landscapes.… Keep reading...

Game action the Cosmos’ 1-0 win over North Carolina FC. (Photo courtesy of the Cosmos)

CARY, N.C. – The Cosmos moved into a tie for second place in the North American Soccer League as they extended their unbeaten streak to seven games by besting North Carolina FC, 1-0, at Sahlen’s Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park Sunday afternoon.

They also pushed their road unbeaten streak to nine games, dating back to last season.

Juan Guerra tallied the lone goal of the match in the 52nd minute as goalkeeper Brian Holt recorded his second successive shutout.

The Cosmos (4-1-4, 16) points), who trail first-place Miami FC (6-1-3, 21) by five points, are tied with Jacksonville Armada FC (4-2-4, 16), but have a game in hand.

“It was a good game for people to come and watch,” Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese said. “I thought that most of the game, we had the ball. We were able to find space and created a lot of chances, so I feel that we deserved this victory. The guys were able to battle and get a very important win.”

His North Carolina counterpart, Colin Clarke, gave credit where it was due.

“I think the Cosmos, if you look back over the game, deserved the result,” he said. “They were the better team on the day, which is disappointing.”

The match started at a quick pace with the Cosmos controlling most of the attacking play. NCFC’s high press and the Cosmos wide play created chances on goal for both teams throughout the match.

Neither team could find the elusive goal in the opening 45 minute.

The Cosmos resumed their attacking play following the break, forcing goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre to make three strong saves within the opening five minutes of the half.

New York took the lead in the 52nd minute. Walter Restrepo’s cross found Guerra in the box, who chested down the ball and sent a strike past Sylvestre for his second goal this season.

NCFC’s attack sparked to life and created chances in the 62nd and the 63rd minutes. Holt saved a strong shot from Matt Fondy and the Cosmos’ defense cleared a threat from Tiyi Shipalane a minute later.

The hosts’ offense continued to make a push towards the NYC goal after the addition of Billy Schuler in the 61st minute. Schuler’s presence nearly paid off immediately, as the forward had a shot blocked inside the box in the 68th minute.

The introduction of New York’s Eugene Starikov in the 67th had an immediate impact. The forward set up a chance for Flores that went off the crossbar, before trying a right-footed shot from the center of the box off a pass from Ayoze.

North Carolina continued to push for a goal as Nazmi Albadawi ripped a shot just wide of the target in the 78th minute and Fondy nearly found the end of several chances in the final 15 minutes.

“I think it was three games in eight days, including mid-week games and afternoon games,” Clarke said. “We had an Open Cup game, which was a big game emotionally and physically, but those are excuses. We didn’t start well. We talked long and hard all week that we needed to set the tempo. We didn’t connect enough passes early on or keep the ball. We were the ones doing the chasing and that’s hard under tough conditions. I think that caught up with us and we looked tired and sluggish.”

The Cosmos host FC Edmonton at MCU Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. They will welcome NCFC at MCU Park Saturday night.

Huawei P20 Pro & P20 Review – 1 Month Later!

Matthew Moniz review of the Huawei P20 Pro and Huawei P20 one month later. There’s a lot of great things going for this smartphone but there’s a few bugs that need to be fixed. Watch for the full review!

  1. Thor of Asgard

    Comparing an superior android based phone with an iOS junk ?! WTF. I were expected to compare between both phones.
    "Better software experience" ?! WTF ?! Please compare the "software experiences" LOL !

  2. Paul Tasker

    Even if they were the same price i would still pick the p20 pro for it's more compact size. Had a mate 10 pro and it was simply too big. Kept nearly falling out my pocket. P20 is much more manageable. Just about acceptable in terms of size though 5.5 inches would be nicer still. In low light this is my best camera. I compared it to my proper cameras hand held and it won hands down. In good light it isn't far behind. Brilliant considering lens size. Battery is superb. Notification I had to enable some apps for manual battery management and fixed it. Vibration motor a bit week and call quality slightly muffled. Reception great. Overall great value at 400

  3. Kevin Rabie

    My tab was less then $100 so I upgraded to the p20 TBA with the 128 gig of storage the fact that it has no SD card slot isn't a complete deal-breaker for me the no headphone jack is something I will have to get used to but at least mine came with a USB to headphone jack adapter

  4. BebéTechManiac 2018

    You didn't mentioned that the night shots of the P20 Pro beats easily the iPhone, any iPhone. It combines 4 pixels into one big pixel, allowing it to capture more light. It even beats the S9+… The variable aperture couldn't help, winner in low light, P20 Pro.

  5. scouse2606

    This sounds amazing, I was sold on them in the store at Vodafone, but they were all reserved for orders so my order wouldn't go through, they use them for their personal store mobiles, looked great, but alas due to that I took the option of the sony Xperia XA2, and believe me it's poor, has it's good points but it's so difficult to use and the snooze on the alarm doesn't work, and silent mode is more awkward as it's built in to the do not disturb feature, very sensitive at times and the proximity sensor doesn't work all the time, great sound etc although not noise cancelling headphones either, but yes, the 4k HD feature is also terrible, bit early for 4K HD on Phones IMO but…these Huwawai' look amazing, gonna try and convince my wife to swap her IPhone 7 for one instead of the really expensive X she want's instead…thanks for the review you've convinced me just like others, that I should have waited for them to deliver me one, My S6 was perfect compared to the Sony…patience is a virtue friends. ?♂

Gautham Karthik’s Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuthu turned out to be a super hit at the box office and the film received a great response from the youngsters for its adult content. The film was directed by Santhosh P Jayakumar and produced by Blue Ghost Pictures. Gautham Karthik played the lead role, alongside actors like Sha Ra, Yaashika Aanand, Vaibhavi Shandilya, Chandrika Ravi, Motta Rajendran, Bala Saravanan, Karunakaran and others. The film's story revolved around a ghost who died as a virgin, wanting to have sex with a virgin boy to rest her soul. Despite getting mixed reviews from the critics, the film satisfied its target audience and was a success at the box office.

The second part of IAMK was officially announced towards the end of last year and it created a good buzz on social media. This second installment will feature director Santhosh P Jayakumar making his debut as an actor and he’d be seen playing the lead actor. This film will have Karishma, Akriti Singh, and Meenal as the female leads. Daniel Annie Pope, Motta Rajendran, Chaams, Ravi Mariya form the supporting cast. The makers have shot the film in ECR, Thailand, and in a few other places in Chennai.

The latest exciting update is that the second part of IAMK has been titled as Irandam Kuththu. When we got in touch with director Santhosh, he confirmed that the film is indeed titled Irandam Kuththu. When we enquired if the film will have a direct OTT release, considering the current trend, he said that they would wait for the theatres to reopen. “No, we are not going for OTT. We have completed all the censor formalities and are ready for release. When the theatres reopen after the pandemic, we will plan accordingly and release the film”, said Santhosh.

Just like the first part, Irandam Kuththu is also expected to be high on adult comedies, double entendres, and glamour. The fans are already looking forward to the film and let us hope that the theatres reopen as soon as possible. Apart from Irandam Kuththu, Santhosh P Jayakumar also has various other interesting projects which are in pre - production stages as of now.

  • Prelude:  Everett, WA* USA - St. Lucia
  • 1st Year (1600 nm):
    St. Lucia - Jacksonville FL, USA
  • 2nd Year (2162 nm):
    FL, USA - Bahamas & back
  • 3rd Year (10,000+ nm)
    Jacksonville FL - Whangarei New Zealand
  • 4th-5th Year (need to calculate nm)
    New Zealand - Australia
  • After: on another boat - Pacific Northwest USA - Canada
  • Coming up: trucking our boat East

*Portland OR is on our transom as Everett's weather inspired us to leave more than feeling like home, though the sailing community, particularly Milltown Sailing Association, was incredibly welcoming and supportive.

Part 1:  Prelude - where in the world was our boat?

World view

Where in the world are Everett WA and Rodney Bay St. Lucia?
Americas view
To give you a little closer look -- from the United States to St. Lucia,
where we bought then later joined our sailboat, Journey. St. Lucia is in the Caribbean,
above Venezuela and below Cuba.
These views were put together using this cool application from Daft Logic, which can also be used to calculate distance in "as the crow flies" miles, nautical miles and more.

Part 2:  1st Year Cruising - St. Lucia to Florida USA

Island -to-Island Overview
This is the overview of our first year's cruising travel, some complete, some intended.
We began in St. Lucia, September 2012, and plan to arrive in Florida in June 2013, then take out for hurricane season.  As of February 14, 2013, we are in
the Virgin Islands, weaving between the US and British Virgins.... St Croix,
St. Johns, Tortola, Peter Island....

Travel Timeline Overview
Journey's cruising (for us) began in St. Lucia.  We sailed
from Rodney Bay, down to St. Lucia's Southern tip, to
Vieux Fort, then back up.  We were there Sept  - Oct 2012.
Getting Started in St. Lucia
Rodney Bay had everything we needed to get our boat ship-shape.  However at prices much higher than in the United States, we held off on many repairs we felt could wait until we return to the U.S.  The Rodney Bay cruisers were wonderful to us.  St. Lucia locally grown produce is among the best we've encountered.

  1. Flew from the United States (U.S.) to St. Lucia, Caribbean, and purchased Journey, our 36.5’ sailboat ketch.  She would set in the Rodney Bay Lagoon for 15 months, before we were able to move aboard. (March 2012)
  2. Sailed from Everett, near Seattle, WA, U.S. to Desolation Sound British Columbia, Canada and back in our 27’ O’Day sailboat. (June 30 – July 20 2012)
  3.  Crewed on a sailboat schooner from Roche Harbor, San Juan Island, WA, U.S., near British Columbia, to Southern California’s Santa Barbara. (July 24 – Aug 2, 2012)
  4. Flew from the U.S. to St. Lucia, to board Journey; she’d waited for us 6 months since purchase (Sept 8, 2012)
  5. Sailed St. Lucia’s Western Coast in Journey (Oct 8-13, 2012)
  6. Sailed to Martinique South to North (with some doubling back) along its West Coast (Oct 21 – Nov 4, 2012)
  7. Sailed to Dominica, South to North along its West Coast (Nov 4-9, 2012)
  8.  Sailed to Ilet Les Saints, Guadaloupe (Nov 9, 2012)
  9. Sailed to Guadaloupe mainland, then from Basse-Terre its West to its Pointe A Pitre on its East side (Nov 14, 2012)
  10. Road trips in Guadaloupe
  11. South West side (Nov 13, 2012)
  12. East side to NorthWest side (Nov 17, 2012)
  13. throughout the East side (Nov 18, 2012)
  14. Sailed from Pointe A Pitre, Guadaloupe to English Harbour, Antigua (Nov 21, 2012)
  15. Sailed in Antigua West from English Harbour, to Falmouth Harbour, Jolly Harbour, Hawksbill Beach, Deep Bay, and East to Nonsuch Bay’s Green / Bird Islands and Hugh’s Bay, across to Barbuda’s Southern tip, Coco Point, then West to Low Bay, then back to Antigua (Nov – Dec , 10, 2012)
Meandering in Martinique
We also enjoyed road trips all around the island with an affordable rental car.  Did you know part of the Thomas Crowne Affair was filmed here?  I recognized St. Pierre in it.  This was our first experience with the charm of a French Territory island and excellent government docks!

In Nov 2012, from Martinique, our next passage was Dominica.
It was about 45 miles.

Disappointed in Dominica
We believe we missed out by not exploring Dominica by car.  We've heard other cruisers say Dominica was their favorite island.  It's great for hiking.  We were put of by the need to get a guide most places and by their more expensive rental cars.  Dominica is a natural wonder though, with lush, tropical rain forests.

In Nov 2012, from from Dominica we sailed into Guadeloupe via
The Saintes first. That passage was 21 miles.
Glorious Guadeloupe & Sweet Saintes
Guadeloupe is one of my favorite islands.  Like the the French Territory island of Martinique, we loved the architecture, town squares, abundant fresh local produce.  Guadeloupe's hiking trails are fabulous, and free, and the island is chock full of natural hot springs and waterfalls.  Rental cars are cheap, driving is easy and the people, friendly.  I especially would love to spend more time at Deshaies, and anchor there.

In Nov 2012 from Guadeloupe, we sailed to
That passage was 48 miles.
Affable Antigua
Part of what made Antigua so fun for us were the other cruisers we hung out with there.  Markedly drier by far than Guadeloupe and island South, we were intrigued by Antigua's century plants.  We enjoyed the snorkeling in English and neighboring Falmouth Harbours, and Nonsuch Bay was incredibly diverse.  Even when opaque, as it was in Jolly Harbour, the water was beautiful.

Been There, Maps & Overviews Coming
These maps will be added soon as they're all places we've already cruised to.  After all, internet access is intermittent and we want to spend more time enjoying where we are than blogging about it!

Part 4: 3rd Year - Florida USA to New Zealand

December 2014 - November 2015
This was a big year for us - over 10,000 miles in less than 12 months.  Roughly 1/3 of our time was spent on passage - way too much!  Overview:
  • December 2014 Jacksonville Florida, USA stop at Stuart to visit Dana's folks, at Key West, then Cuba, for New Year's
  • January 2015 Cuba to Colombia's Providencia, to Panama

  • September 2018—temporarily move to Florida
  • May 2019, return to Pacific Northwest cruising and living aboard again
Part 6 - Moving our boat cross-country
We're in the throes of sorting this out now. This blog will likely become a jump-link to a new blogsite, which will double as the site for my author's page. I am working on a book series of our travels, with the first release targeted for August 2021.

  1. So will you be going through the Panama Canal?

  2. Yes, though not this year. We wil after hurricane season for 2013 is done.

    This year will be our "shakeout" in the Caribbean; 4-6 weeks getting the boat and us ready, then setting sail out of St. Lucia in mid-October. We'll head toward Florida, where we plan to work for the 2013 hurricane season, then set sail from there, South, through the Panama Canal, across to the Galapagos, the Marquesas and beyond.

    One step at a time though!

    We just got back from 3 awesome weeks sailing from Puget Sound through and beyond Desolation Sound in Canada's British Columbia. Not much internet access so lots to catch up on!

    Monday we crew a restored 85' vintage wooden schooner from Roche Harbor to San Diego.

    Then friends and family visits, then off to St. Lucia....

  3. Guys, good blog. If thinking of sailing to Australia and selling the boat be aware of a couple of things (plenty more). You will have an AQIS inspection where they ask if the boat has visited a number of places, including Florida as these places are at high risk of beetle/bug infestation. Chances are you will have to get the boat fumigated.
    If you hauled the boat for a bottom job within 12 months of arrival you will be asked to provide the receipts for the bottom paint. If you happen to use a TBT booster in the antifoul make sure you don't give them that receipt!
    Good luck

    1. Thanks for the tips. Indeed, Australia is very environmentally protective in ways that challenge cruisers. It's one of the reasons we're pet-less, though tentatively plan to adopt a kitty or two before leaving Oz. After that, it's not much of a problem. Meanwhile, we're living vicariously through other's pets (like this cat-sitting adventure

  4. Hello Wayne and Dana, Just curious after reading all about you and the 365, are you in NZ or AUSat this time?? I an an expat from so Cal living in Nelson NZ.

    1. Hi Mike
      Great to hear from you!

      Ohhhh You went to the section I'm worst about keeping up on; the PLACES page. Seems like I update it at the end of cruising season as that's when I finally get decent power and internet.

      Now at the end of each blog post I put something about our current location and often we're we're headed next.

      We are currently in the Marquesas. Our ETA for NZ is cyclone season - November - until May.

      I'll write you separately on you email. We'd love to meet you while in NZ this year.

September Cover Revealed – Destiny: Rise Of Iron

by Matt Miller on Aug 02, 2016 at 06:00 AM

Since its launch in September 2014, Destiny has defied even ambitious estimates regarding its potential reach, blossoming to tens of millions of registered users. Players have embraced the distant future setting, which sees a beleaguered humanity struggling against innumerable alien threats across a solar system that witnessed Earth’s golden age pass long ago. With its upcoming September release, Bungie is shifting focus, exploring the history of legendary heroes who sealed away a deadly threat, and allowing players to join that same order of warriors as the threat reemerges. We traveled to Bungie’s studio to get the full scoop on Rise of Iron, the expansion that launches Destiny’s third and final year before a sequel. We played it, interviewed its creators, and dug deep into everything from the latest PvP game modes to the new raid, and even learned about where Bungie is heading in the months after Rise of Iron launches.

Last year, The Taken King expansion represented a dramatic retrofit of Destiny’s game systems and progression. With many of those core systems now firmly set, Rise of Iron puts the focus squarely on new content to discover, and our time with the game reveals Bungie’s fixation on player choice, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in the way they most prefer, all while still making meaningful progress. Guardians can look forward to a vast array of new weapons and armor sets, a new arena play space called the Archon’s Forge, new ways to enjoy Crucible PvP play, and only a few days after launch, the blistering cooperative challenge of Destiny’s latest raid: Wrath of the Machine. Bungie also pulls the curtain back on the reinvention of the artifact item slot, which now serves to provide a game-changing ability to be combined with your subclass and gear selections. The digital issue is now live for subscribers, and you can read all about those topics in full. We've also pulled out a dedicated look at artifacts, new progression details, and some news about the future of Destiny beyond Rise of Iron.

Our cover story features dozens of new screenshots and as much info as we could squeeze into 16 pages. We also have tons of additional interviews and gameplay footage that wouldn’t fit, and we’ll be rolling out that info as we prepare it throughout the next month, including an in-depth conversation with Destiny’s story writers, a closer look at one of the new exotic weapons, and comprehensive video coverage of new PvP features and modes.

And in thanks to the enthusiastic Destiny community for following our coverage, we’re also proud to announce our first-ever GI cover art contest, in which you have a chance to see your artistic creation featured as Game Informer magazine cover art. Winners receive a Bungie-signed and framed poster version for your wall, a copy of Rise of Iron, and other goodies, along with the acclaim of your fellow Destiny fans. Winning entries will be featured here on the GI website early in September. Check out the complete details by clicking right here.

As you dream up your own cover ideas, take a moment to enjoy the actual cover for this month’s issue, which teases some of the stark and imposing sights awaiting Guardians in the new expansion.

To learn more about our forthcoming online coverage of Destiny: Rise of Iron, and to get a brief glimpse of some of the action, check out our coverage trailer below or on YouTube.

In addition to our blowout coverage of Bungie’s latest release, the September issue takes a look at the wild phenomenon of Pokémon Go, examines race and poverty through the eyes of the game We Are Chicago, and visits with the team remaking System Shock from the ground up. We’ve got previews of Battlefield 1, Halo Wars 2, and Yooka-Laylee, as well as reviews for summer releases like Abzû and Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We also take a fascinating look back at the strange experiment that was the Philips CD-I Nintendo games, as told by the man who made them.

Print subscribers should see their issues arriving in the next week, but if you subscribe digitally, the issue is now live (available on PC/Mac, iPad,  Android, and Google Play).

Official promo artwork for Borderlands 3

[Update #2]: Borderlands 2 has just received a hefty new free DLC to help bridge the gap with Borderlands 2!

[Update]: Gearbox has released a brand new preview showing off two of the new playable characters!

After well over a year of rumors, Borderlands 3 has finally been officially announced last week. While the details are still few and far between, the lengthy gameplay trailer showed off what feels like a natural evolution of Borderlands 2, and perhaps most importantly, guns running around on tiny little legs!

Gearbox has still not spilled the beans on what exactly Borderlands 3 will be about, but on the positive side, they have now announced the release date. According to the latest preview, Borderlands 3 will be coming to PC and consoles on September 13, 2019. The PC version will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for six months, after which it will become available on Steam and other storefronts.

That's pretty much it as far as new information is concerned, but you can get a closer look at some of the new enemies and characters through the recently posted trailer. You'll only be able to catch glimpses as the whole video moves at a breakneck pace, but I suppose that's better than simply spoiling all of the interesting fights five months in advance. But enough babbling from me, here's the video:

You can learn a little bit more about Borderlands 3, as well as follow its development moving forward, over at the official website.
