Gretchen Parlato
Gretchen Parlato's voice is a thing of wonder. Striking the ideal balance between precision and flexibility, she is never predictable, blurring the lines between singer and instrumentalist as she takes a lyric—and at other times improvised flights of wordless fancy—to places it's never before been. On In a Dream, her debut album for ObliqSound, which releases August 25, Parlato and her intuitive support team reinvent constantly, Parlato impeccably articulating in a voice so ethereal that the listener might very well feel that he or she is "in a dream."
Coming four years after her self-titled debut, In a Dream finds Parlato embarking on a beguiling journey deep into the heart of both her own compositions and classic material by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and others—all of which she instantly makes her own. Each song emerges as a unique world unto itself, yet there's an undeniable thread linking them all together.
Aligning with a virtuosic quartet she describes as "inspiring, creative, sensitive, musical souls"—Lionel Loueke on guitar, Aaron Parks on piano and Fender Rhodes, Derrick Hodge on acoustic and electric bass, and drummer Kendrick Scott—Parlato brings the warmth and compelling command of her much-heralded live performances to 10 exquisite new peeks into her artistic personality. In a Dream firmly places Gretchen Parlato in the upper echelon of today's vocal artists.
Both Hancock and Shorter are already fans. Hancock has said that Parlato has a "deep, almost magical connection to the music," and Shorter has said "in an inconspicuous way, Gretchen plays the same instrument as Frank Sinatra."
Michele Locatelli, the album's producer and co-founder of ObliqSound, notes that Parlato's desire to blend a broad range of musical influences sets her apart. "Even though her means of expression is jazz-based, it goes beyond that. The defining thing about her, however, is her subtle sense of rhythm and timing: she makes a song seem easy when it's not."
From the opening number, her interpretation of Wonder's "I Can't Help It," best known via Michael Jackson's rendition, Parlato's extraordinary vocal calisthenics, immaculate sense of timing and nuanced phrasing are in full bloom. Parlato transforms the song into a breathy neo- bossa nova, joined solely by Loueke's closely intertwined, sweet guitar lines and vocalized percussion and bass accompaniment. "The song just grew organically and has continued to develop every time we play it," Parlato says.
The song list runs the gamut from classic Brazilian— "Doralice," learned from the legendary singer/guitarist João Gilberto—to the flowing "Turning Into Blue," penned by the bassist Alan Hampton, with lyrics by Parlato based on Buddhist teachings. The way in which she stretches out the word "turning," then catches up with "into blue" is indicative of Parlato's innate ability to work miracles with a lyric and hold the listener's attention via her ingenuity. Ellington's "Azure," says Parlato, "taps into that dreamlike state we can be in when we long for someone and feel completely alone. I love to reveal the beauty in the darkness." Performed in a 5/4 rhythm, the track features a stunning bass solo by Hodge.
Hancock's "Butterfly," she says, "is about the beauty of simplicity and space. I arranged it so that we could play around rhythmically, while still allowing the lyrics to shine through." In this arrangement, Parlato stays on top of the groove without deviating, even while exploring every nuance it has to offer. Shorter's "ESP," not surprisingly the purest jazz track on In a Dream, eases in via meditative vocalizations and ultimately gives way to Parks' spellbinding Rhodes solo and intricate drum work from Scott. The title track, with music by the young pianist Robert Glasper and lyrics by Parlato, is appropriately dreamy, a groove-based, harmony-rich rumination on the otherworldly quality of being in love.
Two tracks, "Within Me" and "On the Other Side," arrived via guitarist Francis Jacob. On the first, Parlato's vocal sneaks in with a whisper, then barely rises, yet remains dynamic and alluring. Appropriately introspective, she drills deep inside of the lyric and instinctively delivers it the way it begs to be delivered. The latter song is more rambunctious, a tight weave of precision, melody and heart. "Weak," which closes the album, was originally performed by the R&B trio SWV in 1992. Says Parlato, "I thought it would be cool to sing this song in a new way and have people say, 'Wait, why do I know this?'"
The theme of the album's title, In a Dream, runs throughout each song. "Every song has a purpose, relates to my life in some way, and tells a story," Parlato explains. Her own story begins in Los Angeles, where she was born into a highly artistic and musical family that shaped her ears. In her youth, Parlato soaked up every sound that came her way, from rock and pop to classical, musical theatre, soul and R&B and, especially, African percussion and the sensuous rhythms of Brazil—all of which worked its way into her nascent style. Jazz gained a special foothold in her musical life because, she says, it forces an artist "to figure out who you are and find your own voice."
Her talent became apparent in her early childhood—in fact, In a Dream includes a handful of snippets of Parlato belting out songs in perfect rhythm and remarkable pitch at age 2! "I thought it was fitting to try to work these early recordings in with my current music, because it shows the first steps of my musical path, who I am, where I come from," she says. "It makes me realize that music was in me since the very beginning, I had no choice but to pursue it and share it."
As she grew, Parlato's musical abilities blossomed. She attended the L.A. County High School for the Arts, later graduated from UCLA with a BA in Ethnomusicology/Jazz Studies, then went on to attend the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance, as the Institute's very first vocalist. That was followed by a 2003 move to New York to pursue her dream. A year later, Parlato won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition and, in 2005, self-released her debut.
In the years since, Parlato's star has only risen. She's toured internationally with her own band and as a guest of many A-list artists; notable performances include La Villette in Paris with Wayne Shorter as her guest, the Hollywood Bowl with Oscar Castro-Neves, Gal Costa, Ivan Lins, and Dianne Reeves, and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. Her recording credits include Terence Blanchard's 2005 Grammy-nominated album Flow, Kenny Barron's The Traveler, and Esperanza Spalding's 2008 self-titled album. She was recently featured in The Documentary Channel's 4-part series "Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense," and in a special called "Rising Stars" on Japan's NHK-TV, with a one- hour focus on Parlato. Glowing reviews have followed her around, such as the one from the New York Times' Ben Ratliff that singled out her attention to rhythm and dynamics, and proclaimed, "It's evident that she's an extraordinary singer."
Adds Lionel Loueke, "She is the only singer that I never have to account for or change the way I play; the guitar and the voice are so well balanced that no one is ever out in front." That is in fact true of each of her accompanists. Inherently aware of the leader's ability to find herself within a given song, the musicians instinctively find their place alongside her and serve to accent Parlato's fine-tuned arrangements.
Parlato is understandably proud. "I sing from my heart and soul and hope that people feel that. I just want them to feel something. That could be joy or sadness, as long as it moves them in some way." Anyone who is not moved by In a Dream is quite possibly incapable of moving at all.

Obliqsound Signs Vocalist Gretchen Parlato
"Impassioned singer and bandleader" —Ben Ratliff, NY Times
"The future of jazz is alive and well in the hands of artists such as Gretchen Parlato and Lionel Loueke... Together, they make an irresistibly engaging musical combination... Parlato's voice was a flowing, mobile instrument. At times it blended seamlessly with Loueke's guitar, often in tandem with Loueke's singing. At other times, her warm sound — a persuasive blend of innocence and irony — found the heart of tunes... And everything she sang revealed her capacity to become immersed in the music without losing her own interpretive way." —Don Heckman, LA Times
"...has the musical chops to become a legend." —Elaine Schmidt, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Parlato's sense of subtle rhythmic interplay and understated theatrical nuance takes the ache of Frank and implicates it throughout an improvisational-based esthetic that rests, most often, on Brazilian master- class moments..
"Parlato's sense of subtle rhythmic interplay and understated theatrical nuance takes the ache of Frank and implicates it throughout an improvisational-based esthetic that rests, most often, on Brazilian master- class moments... As simple and restive as she sounds in print, her voice- scatting, cooing, leaning back then soaring-can leap through complex tempo and rhythmic shifts as if riding rapids." -A.D. Amorosi, New York Press
"She enters the music, becoming part of the band, improvising in melody and rhythm, prying open sweet spots in the songs... it's evident that she's an extraordinary singer." -Ben Ratliff, New York Times
"a singer with a deep, almost magical connection to the music." —Herbie Hancock
"In an inconspicuous way, Gretchen Parlato knows how to play the same instrument that Frank Sinatra played... There's no one out there like Gretchen." —Wayne Shorter
"From the beginning we had a real connection, a natural chemistry. She's the only singer that I never have to account for or change the way I play; the guitar and the voice are so well balanced that no one is ever out in front. We complete each other." - Lionel Loueke
"Gretchen Parlato has proven herself to be exactly the type of driven, inspiring, and creative artist that I knew she would be the first time I met her. She came to our school program with a style all her own. I am very proud of her and look forward to working with her someday, and also hearing from her in the future. She is something special." - Terence Blanchard
"Beautiful voice. The pitch, everything is perfect... She sings beautifully...5 stars" - Richard Bona, Blindfold Test, Downbeat July 2007
"Parlato has all the makings of jazz ascendancy. She has held her own with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and her rapport with the acoustic guitarist Lionel Loueke is very nearly profound." - Nate Chinen, Jazz Times
"...has the musical chops to become a legend... intimate & completely engaging. Every sound Parlato makes is part of the musical fabric... scats and sings lyrics with a feathery, breathy voice that is gentle, feminine and full of musical nuance and color... She handles flowing, simple melodies and complex, angular lines with equal ease... -Elaine Schmidt, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"deceptively dreamy but musically sophisticated" - Guardian Unlimited, UK
"If you liked Astrud Gilberto, you'll love Gretchen Parlato." - Don Heckman, LA Times
"Rarely does a jazz singer come along whose voice instantly sweeps you off your feet." - David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal

Zero Defects - Not Exactly You've got to love this. Lennar Homes takes great pride in promoting their Zero Defects policy. In fact, they use this phrase as a Service Mark. But just take a moment to read their official policy on Zero Defects. Below in green you will find the exact copy from their very own Official website.
What you find is that, "Zero DefectsSM" does not mean that Lennar homes are free of defects. So I guess Zero is not the right word to use. In fact, Zero Defects means that. . . in Lennar's sole opinion. Lennar Homes further states that defects depend upon the "materials and labor forces," so I guess when they use inferior materials and incompetent labor, they are off the hook. At least that's what they'd like to think. But read their Zero Defects for yourself . . . you'll be amazed!
Zero Defects - "Zero DefectsSM" does not mean that our homes or services will be without imperfection. It describes our goal of having your home delivered to you without any outstanding items to be completed as of the date of delivery, and as few imperfections, in our sole opinion, as are possible considering the materials and labor forces on which we depend. We urge prospective purchasers to look at our model homes and inquire of our previous purchasers to determine if our measurement of Zero DefectsSM is satisfactory.
So what they are saying is they are "expressly disclaiming" all warranties as to any matter whatsoever if they put it on any of their websites. Then why put it on in the first place?
Well, it's a great way of saying one thing but meaning another. In fact, just try to find the page that these statements appear on. They're just about invisible to anyone visiting the Lennar Official Website. Go ahead, try it yourself. If you can't find the statements we referenced here, try this link . . . http://www.lennar.com/legal.aspx#ZeroDefects Very sneaky!


Today's NY Times discusses the good and the potentially bad when it comes to conducting trials of new drugs outside of the United States. Subjects in developing countries may be rushing to sign up and disregarding their own safety. Populations in some other countries may be so physically different from Americans that results of testing may not apply to us. And some testing is done in Canada and Sweden, with populations similar to Americans physically, and financially.

"I want to use my strength as a communicator to empower and inspire others to access their own healing and peace so we all can add to the collective and achieve world peace." - Chioma Nwosu
Yogi, Massage Therapist, Social Justice Activist, Performing Artist
DOB: 07/31/1978 (39 in ceremony)
Lives in: Los Angeles, CA
Chioma Nwosu is a Nigerian-born, Detroit-raised massage therapist, yoga instructor, preventative health enthusiast and certified pharmacy technician based in Los Angeles. She earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in Health Science from Grand Valley State University in Michigan and continues to study biomedical sciences extensively as she cultivates routes to mindfulness with connection to breath, self-mastery, proper body alignment and connection to the Divine.
"I've got a big heart, holistic approach to body and intuitive hands," Chioma says.
A public speaker since she was 11 years old, Chioma is passionate about dancing and acting and hopes to cultivate a career as a performing artist. She is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, formed her own production company, Grason Pictures, and helped build the African Artists Association to support African actors. "I want to use my strength as a communicator to empower and inspire others to access their own healing and peace so we all can add to the collective and achieve world peace," she says. She wants to explore this work in ceremony.
Chioma, the oldest of six children, moved to Detroit with her family when she was three years old. Her father, a veteran of the BIAFRA War – which Chioma says "resulted in the near genocide of my tribe, the Igbo" – bears the mental and emotional scars of being forced to fight against his own people.
Since her mother died when she was 21, Chioma has struggled to treat debilitating depression through a combination of cannabis-facilitated meditation and yoga. "Without my mother's unconditional love and support, I feel lost and uncertain of my direction," she says. "Because of this, I'm not living up to my potential."
As therapist after therapist prescribed pills to ease her pain, Chioma earned her Pharmacy Technician certificate in hopes of understanding their efficacy. "The more I learned, the less I wanted to introduce those toxins into my body," she says. She is looking into more holistic ways to help people with anxiety and depression "connect with their fractured selves and head toward wholeness."
She intends to address this as well as her fears about getting into a relationship in the medicine space. "I want to be married and have children," Chioma says. "I want my family to be a cohesive group of individuals who support and love each other, unconditionally."
Chioma obtained her yoga teaching certificate in 2016 and has studied a variety of massage techniques from some of the industry's best practitioners and now, as the sole proprietor of Chloe Massage Spa, she provides private massage, therapy, yoga and meditation sessions and advises clients on maintaining healthy lifestyles and wellness. Her mission when she teaches at Green Tree Yoga & Meditation Foundation in Los Angeles is to focus on cultivating a mindful Vinyasa flow with connection to breath, proper body alignment and engagement of the root chakra for grounding.
Chioma enjoys partnering with progressive organizations centered on inclusion and social justice activism through classes, discussions and workshops. After completing training with the Green Tree Yoga Meditation Foundation, a social justice movement bringing access to healing modalities to South LA, she began to teach yoga and meditation within the South LA community, where unhealthy food and liquor stores are easy to come by but yoga studios aren't.
"This demographic does not enjoy the same level of access enjoyed by the stereotypical yoga population in the yoga hub of West LA. Many of these residents are suffering and looking for a way to cope and without our studio would have no place to go," Chioma says. "This inspired me to create workshops and programs with mission to offer more yoga in and around South L.A. and teach for Green Tree as a tool for service and healing in a community that really needs it."
Chioma, who has not returned to Nigeria since her mother died in 2000, dreams of building a commemorative center for holistic health honoring her mother in her native country.
"I am looking into more holistic ways to help people with anxiety and depression, to connect with their fractured selves and head toward wholeness." -- Chioma Nwosu

Homelessness and rubble dominate the Philippines city which suffered the worst devastation in the November 8 typhoon.
A Typhoon Haiyan survivor carrying her clothes looks at a mannequin\(***)s head which was put on a stick as she walks through the ruins of Tacloban City, on November 22, 2013.
Tacloban, Philippines - It has been nearly three weeks since Typhoon Haiyan, the world's biggest-ever storm to make landfall, struck the central Philippines - killing more than 5,200 people, displacing 4.4 million and destroying $547m in crops and infrastructure.
In Leyte Province, 70 to 80 percent of the area was destroyed. Tacloban, the capital of Leyte, where five-metre waves flattened nearly everything in their path, suffered more loss of life than any other Philippine city. Outside the town centre, in a hillside cemetery, city workers have dug a mass gravesite which stretches along 100 metres.
Much of Tacloban has been turned to rubble, leaving many survivors homeless and dependent on aid. Philippine Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla said on November 14 that it may take six weeks before the first typhoon-hit towns get their electric power back.
Visiting the city, it is clear that - despite the help of the international community - it will take a very long time for the town to recover.

HMRC announces digital tax return U-turn ahead of debate
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has confirmed that small businesses will still be able to file their tax returns via telephone after the tax authority found that 40 per cent of self-employed workers struggle to use HMRC's digital self-assessment tools.
Plans to implement a regime where taxpayers must submit quarterly tax returns, as featured in the 'Making Tax Digital' document, will still go ahead but self-employed workers, landlords and small business owners will have the option of filing their tax return online or by telephone.
HMRC's own figures found that two-in-five self-employed workers are either unable to use the internet or require significant assistance to use government services online.
As a result, the Treasury is now seeking to water down the digital proposals ahead of a debate in Parliament later today after more than 100,000 people signed a petition calling on the Government to shelve plans for quarterly self-assessment tax returns.
David Gauke, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, confirms that those really unable to "go digital" will not have to and can file their tax affairs over the phone.
Those registering their self-assessment account over the telephone will be required to answer a series of questions about their tax affairs – from revenues to costs – over the phone.
The exact details that will need to be passed on to the tax authority are not yet known, but there are concerns that HMRC is unable to deliver a system that will enable small business owners to supply such information every quarter over the phone; especially after it emerged HMRC failed to answer 18 million phone calls in one year.
Mr Gauke wrote in the Daily Mail today: "Going digital will not be an option for some people.
"Businesspeople who genuinely can't use digital tools – perhaps because they can't access broadband, or don't own a computer or smartphone – will be offered alternatives, like nominating someone else to update their information for them, or giving information by phone.
"So there's nothing for businesses to fear in this new system."
By 2020 all self-employed professionals and SMEs will have an online tax profile akin to an online bank account. Treasury sources claim 'common sense will prevail' to ensure the changeover is not 'burdensome' for taxpayers.

Onkyo DP-S1 review
There's a lot to like about this compact, versatile player – especially the sound Tested at £400
By What Hi-Fi? 22 September 2017
Compact, versatile, with solid audio performance. There's a lot to like about this player
Good level of insight
Neat design
Fiddly touchscreen
Not the most exciting listen
Onkyo DP-S1 deals
9 Amazon customer reviews
Onkyo DP-S1-B Hi-Resolution...
Looking at the Onkyo DP-S1, we get the feeling we've tested it before - the player's design is incredibly similar to the recently-released Pioneer XDP-30R. Pioneer sold its AV division to Onkyo in 2014, and each company has put its own spin on a similar design theme since.
But just because something looks the same doesn't mean that it will sound the same, and the DP-S1 has a few differences that give this player its own individual flavour.
MORE: Pioneer XDP-30R review
Build and features
On the surface, just a few cosmetic changes set the DP-S1 apart. The lock button, which stops its touchscreen being activated, is circular rather than square; the word 'Balanced' is highlighted, signifying the player's 2.5mm headphone jack.
Those with unbalanced headphones, fear not - there's a conventional 3.5mm socket too.
On the lower half of the fascia are etched some of the specs of the player: 16GB of internal storage (which can be increased to 416GB with a couple of 200GB MicroSD cards), support for 32bit/192kHz music files, and its twin SABRE ES9018C2M digital-to-analogue converters.
Onkyo has fitted two clocks – one for 44.1kHz files, one for 48kHz – which it says ensures superior timing and better sound quality overall. And alongside wi-fi, the DP-S1 also has Bluetooth connectivity so you can stream audio to wireless speakers.
There will also be support for MQA technology, which compresses hi-res files into a lossless format that's easier to stream, in an imminent firmware update.

Using the player is more fiddly than some others we've tested.
The 2.4in, 320 x 240-pixel touchscreen is perfectly fine when hitting the large digital tiles to get to your music library, but it's a little more challenging when typing in email addresses and passwords to log into its streaming services. It offers Tidal and Deezer, as well as TuneIn internet radio.

On the whole the user interface is relatively simple, although we would like a searchbar implemented. While we can understand its omission on players controlled only by physical buttons, no-one wants to be scrolling through an alphabetical list of a few thousand songs just to get to, say, Xanadu.
There is a dedicated app which lets you control the player from your phone - but if both are sitting in your pocket then it's not an inherently faster experience. It is quite useful if you're away from the player for any reason, though.

Onkyo has said the DP-S1 has more refined sound quality than the Pioneer XDP-30R - and while we wouldn't say that its performance is significantly better, there are tangible differences.
It's like sitting down for one of your favourite meals, only to find that someone has switched the seasoning.
The main modification concerns the Onkyo's greater spaciousness, and the greater fluidity to the way it handles dynamics. Loading it up with Mahler's Symphony #2 In C Minor – also known as the Resurrection Symphony – we find dynamics rise and fall with slightly more eloquence than with the Pioneer.
The Austrian composer's earth-moving strings are whipped into short, controlled bursts at the beginning of the track, and there's clear delineation between where the notes begin and end.

Changing to I Like Birds by Eels finds Mark Everett's vocals given a little more space away from background instruments when compared to the tighter-focused Pioneer.
Everything is kept organised, as this player maintains a firm hand on both the main vocals and the backing harmonies - ensuring no one part of the song infringes or clouds another.

In terms of detail, there's plenty of subtlety and insight in this player. The melancholic tones of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' Girl In Amber come across clearly, close attention paid to each strained intake of breath and natural hiss as Cave's sibilant lyrics slip out – and although there is even more fine detail to be eked out of the track, the DP-S1's best is still thoroughly enjoyable.
But unfortunately for this Onkyo, standing in the way of a five star review is Astell & Kern's AK70.
Our 2016 Award-winner is punchier and more dynamic than the Onkyo, and even more detailed – it is entirely worth the extra £100.
MORE: Astell & Kern AK70 review
There's a lot to like about the DP-S1. It's nice to hold, generally easy to use and gives a valiant performance no matter what you're playing or what you're playing it through. But there's still a little way to go before it's going to topple the class-leader.

Read on for several highlights of the November 2010 Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Real Estate Market Report. Or click here to view the PDF.
Despite early gains in 2010 (particularly in April and June) home sales have stagnated over the past several months. July, August, September and October of 2010 have been the slowest such months during the past five years. Despite these low sales figures, however, year-to-date sales are only 4% below last year's sales.
Late 2009 through mid 2010 showed some promise. After several years of declining home sales (pace, not values) it seemed that our local market had finally turned around. Now looking back, that increase in sales pace may have been largely related to the home buyer tax credit, as the pace of sales is now on the decline yet again. What surprises lie in store for us in 2011?
As demand falls, prices should fall --- isn't that what I learned back in my economics class at JMU? Not so in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham housing market!?! Fewer and fewer buyers have been present in the market over the past six years (demand fell) but prices have not fallen in the way that that shift in demand would suggest. Calling all economists....how can we explain this?

To determine if concordance of contraceptive preference and uptake differ between postpartum recipients of emergency versus full scope Medicaid.
We performed a historical cohort study of patients who delivered at a safety-net hospital in Denver, Colorado in 2016. In our public system, all patients had access to immediate postpartum tubal ligation and all forms of reversible contraception in outpatient clinics. We used data from electronic health records to compare contraceptive preferences and uptake between patients with full scope and emergency Medicaid at hospital discharge and by 12 weeks postpartum. We then compared contraceptive concordance (use of the same method as desired during delivery admission) between the groups at time of postpartum discharge and by 12 weeks postpartum.
We examined 693 women; 349 (50.1%) had emergency Medicaid and 344 (49.9%) had full scope Medicaid. The mean age at delivery was 27.9 years, and most patients were Hispanic (74%). Women with emergency Medicaid were less likely to receive their desired method of postpartum contraception before hospital discharge (53.6% vs. 66.9%; p < .01). One-half of the patients with emergency Medicaid who did not receive their desired method of immediate postpartum contraception were unable to obtain it based on insurance ineligibility. By 12 weeks postpartum, the rates of concordance did not differ by insurance status: 52.4% of patients with emergency Medicaid and 55.2% of patients with full scope Medicaid received their desired method of contraception (p = .46).
Emergency Medicaid recipients, largely recent and/or unauthorized immigrants, have high demand for highly effective postpartum contraceptives. Although emergency Medicaid recipients initially had lower rates of receipt of their desired contraceptive during the hospital stay compared with those with full scope Medicaid, they ultimately had similar concordance rates by 12 weeks postpartum. We suspect this finding was in part due to free access to all methods of contraception in our outpatient clinics during the postpartum course. Systemic barriers should be reduced to ensure better access to postpartum contraceptives for all patients, regardless of insurance coverage, to improve reproductive equity.

With the New Year kicking in, it is a very busy period in the Indian Automotive market. Every year this month we see a maximum of new car launches and even updates to the previous models. All automotive enthusiasts like you and me are always eager for the month of January to see these new cars to be launched. Hence we at MyNewCar get to you these new rides that have made their way on the Indian roads.
After much teasing and a long wait, Tata Motors finally launches the Harrier in India. The Tata Harrier has been launched at a starting price of Rs 12.69 lakh (Ex-Showroom, Mumbai). The Harrier SUV comes available in a five-seater model and it comes in four different trim levels- Base variant (XE), Mid-spec variant (XM and XT) and the top of the line trim level (XZ).
Aesthetically, the Harrier is offered with very aggressive styling and it is surely a head turner. If we compare it to the H5X concept which was showcased last year at the 2018 Auto Expo, the design is quite similar. The Harrier is offered with five different paint options for its customers to choose from- Calisto Copper, Thermistor Gold, Ariel Silver, Telesto Grey and Orcus White.
Tata has developed the Harrier on their Omega Arc Platform which is derived from Land Rovers D8 platform which underpins the Discovery Sport. In terms of dimensions, the Harrier SUV measures 4598mm in length, 1894mm in width, 1706mm in height, a ground clearance of 205mm and it gets along wheelbase measuring 2741mm.
Let's step in and have a look at what the top end trim level of the Harrier SUV has to offer us. The Harrier XZ comes equipped with an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment unit which is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, this infotainment unit is connected with sound system sourced from JBL, automatic headlight unit, automatic climate control, automatic wipers and leather upholstery.
The instrument cluster is part digital with a 7.0-inch screen and for the long highway runs it also comes equipped with cruise control. In terms of safety, the Harrier hasn't disappointed us a bit, it comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, corner stability control, hill hold and descent function and rollover mitigation system.
Popping to the hood of the Harrier, we get to know that this five-seater SUV is only powered with a single engine option. This is the 2.0-litre diesel unit which has been sourced from Fiat and it is capable of producing 140 horsepower and 350Nm of twist. This oil burner will be coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox and it will only be available in an FWD system. On a later stage, Tata Motors will be bringing in a petrol engine along with an automatic gearbox that will be sourced from Hyundai Motors. Although the Harrier does get a four-wheel drive system, Tata has offered it with multiple off-road modes.
With the launch of the Harrier in the Indian market, it now locks its horns with the Hyundai Creta and the Jeep Compass and with such aggressive pricing from Tata the competition has surely become intense. From the last couple of months, the booking of the Harrier had been kick-started. If you still haven't booked one, you can now book the Harrier online through MyNewCar and stand a chance to offer with many exciting discounts and offers.
The WagonR is one Maruti's most sold hatchback and from quite some years it hasn't been given a proper update rather just some feature updates. Now, after a long time, the Indian manufacturer has finally launched the facelift of the Wagon R. This is the 2019 Wagon R and Maruti Suzuki has launched it at a starting price of Rs 4.19 lakh (Ex-Showroom, India).
In terms of aesthetics, the 2019 Wagon r follows the tall body design just like its predecessor. But in comparison with the older models, the new Wagon R is now built on a new platform and it also gets a whole new design on the exterior. The platform that the new Wagon r is built on is the Heartect Platform which helps to make this hatchback lighter and this platform also underpins the Ertiga, Baleno, Ignis and the New Swift.
If we compare the new Wagon R to its previous mode it is now larger which a longer wheelbase and increased in width. This helps to provide much better space in the cabin. Upfront the face gets a new look, new design front bumper, new design headlamps and new design grille. While at the rear, it gets a tall tail light unit which reaches up to the top along with a spoiler for a sporty look.

Coming towards the safety package, the base variants get driver side airbags, while the ZXi trim levels get dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors will be available across all the trim levels.
The 2019 WagonR not only gets a facelift but also gets some crucial changes on the mechanical part. Now, Maruti has also added a powerful engine along with the standard 1.0-litre petrol mill. This new engine is a 1.2-litre petrol unit that churns out 83 horsepower and it comes matted with both the five-speed manual gearbox and five-speed AMT unit. On the other hand, the 1.0-litre petrol unit is still unchanged and it generates 68 horsepower and it also comes coupled with a five-speed manual gearbox and five-speed AMT unit.
If we compare the old Wagon r model with a newly launched model, in terms of pricing it has been increased Rs 34,000. But the additional expense also comes with new features and equipment than the older outgoing model. With the launch of the Santro and the competition in the segment just increased and with this the New Wagon R has also scaled up to tackle the competition.

Nissan has finally turned the tables with the launch of the Kicks in the Indian market. Nissan wanted a chance to step on their sales and a new product desperately needed. Nissan has launched the Kicks in India at a starting price of Rs 9.55 lakh (Ex-Showroom, Delhi). With this, the Kicks will be available in two petrol trim levels and four diesel models.
The Indian model Nissan Kicks is based on Renault-Nissan's MO Platform. This platform is also shared with the Terrano and it helps keep the price of the Kicks very competitive in the Indian automotive market. If we compare the Indian model Kicks with the international model, the former is much larger and gets a roomier cabin.
Let's look at what Nissan has to offer in terms of modern features and technology to the Kicks, shall we? All the variants of the Nissan Kicks will be equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL's), all power windows, electrically adjustable wing mirrors, integrated turn indicators on the wing mirrors, rear AC vents and automatic climate control. Right from the XV variant and above, Nissan will be providing 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, while only the XV Pre-Option (Top Trim Level) will get a 360-degree surround camera. The addition of this 360 surround camera will be first in its segment.
Nissan powers the Kicks with both petrol and diesel engine options. The petrol model Kicks is powered with a 1.5-litre unit and it is matted with a five-speed manual gearbox. This powertrain generates 105 bhp of power and 142Nm of torque. On the other hand, the diesel model Kicks is powered with a 1.5-litre pot that is matted with a six-speed manual gearbox and this powerhouse is capable of churning out 108bhp of power and 240Nm of twist.

Last year Toyota had revealed the Camry globally and now after a year, Toyota has brought in the new Camry in the Indian market. The 2019 Toyota Camry retails at a price of Rs 36.95 lakh (Ex-Showroom, Delhi). This is the eighth generation of the Camry and with this, it now moves on to the new global platform making this sedan bigger and thus providing a spacious cabin. In the Indian market, the new Camry will only be available in a single trim level and it is powered with Hybrid technology.
As mentioned above, the New generation Camry is now based on Toyota's versatile TNGA Platform. This is the same platform that underpins the new Lexus ES. in terms of styling and aesthetics, the new Camry is very much aggressive in comparison with the older model Camry. With this, upfront the New Camry now get a new gaping grille pumping up the looks of this sedan. The show stealer is the new imposing front horizontal louvres grille at the lower end of the front bumper. This is what Toyota calls its new "Keen Look" design language.
Upfront the Camry gets swept back, sleekly designed LED headlight unit along with a boomerang-like LED three bar Daytime Running Lights (DRL's). As we move towards the side profile of this sedan, we can notice that it get clean lines and the profile of the car is quite elongated. Moving towards the rear, the 2019 Camry comes equipped with a sleeker pair of the tail light unit that almost extends towards the tailgate giving it a very European look. The New Camry now runs on 17-inch multispoke alloy wheels.
Just like the exterior of the new Camry, even the cabin is very modern. Toyota has offered its interior with the latest equipment and modern technology along with a new plush design. On the dashboard, a brand new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment is housed which dominates the whole centre console.
The cabin is all black but it does get ambient lighting and the infotainment unit powers the nine speakers which have been sourced from JBL. for utmost comfort, Toyota has offered this sedan with memory function for the driver's seat, three-zone climate control, cruise control for a smooth long drive and wireless charging. In addition to this, the new Camry also gets leather-wrapped steering wheel along with multifunctional audio controls on it. In terms of the safety kit, the Toyota Camry is one of the safest sedans as it gets nine airbags and it hosts a number of passive and active safety features.
Toyota powers the Camry with 2.5-litre Hybrid-Petrol motors which were also seen in the previous model Camry. The petrol engine is four-cylinder pot and it is capable of generating 175 bhp of power and 221Nm of twist and this mill is matted to an 88kW electric motor. Together this Hybrid unit is coupled with a six-speed CVT automatic gearbox and it capable of churning out 215 bhp of power and 221Nm of twist which is transferred to the front wheels.

Action: school vouchers, and "free" trade.
Did you know this week was National School Choice Week? Me neither. Well, apparently, the implacable foes of public education not that they want you to think that have been promoting school vouchers all week so they can divert taxpayer money away from public schools -- which makes public schools worse, which in turn amplifies the cries for "reforms" such as school vouchers. Those of us who've given the matter a few seconds of thought know the drill -- school vouchers don't pay for the full cost of a private education; a private school doesn't have to admit you just because you have a voucher in your hand; too many private schools are religious schools and shouldn't get taxpayer money -- but you may not know that too many vouchers don't go to kids who want to get into private schools, but to kids who are already in private schools, which kinda defeats the stated purpose of a school voucher, right? It's almost like that's the idea. We owe ourselves, and our posterity, more dedication to our public schools than that. Americans United for the Separation of Church and State helps you tell your federal elected officials that you oppose school vouchers.
Meanwhile, President Obama delivered yet another well-crafted and well-received speech the other night, but during that speech he spoke about the need for "new trade partnerships with Europe and the Asia-Pacific," by which he means the Trans-Pacific "Partnership" -- not that he could call it by name, since that name is mud to everyone who knows it. Mr. Obama even had the gall to suggest that it would help "small businesses" "create more jobs," which was very Republican of him! Small businesses aren't going to get their cronies in government to shut down websites on the suspicion of copyright infringement, nor are they going to dump poisonous crap in the air and in the water and then try to avoid lawful sanctions by appealing to "investor-state tribunals" to strike down a nation's environmental laws. No, big corporations will do these things, and news flash! They're not going to create jobs, either, not if they can avoid it, which, once they have their "investor-state tribunals" in place, they can. The big corporations don't create jobs unless we make them -- by demand for their good products, preferably, but by strict regulations to bring them to heel, if need be. Public Citizen helps you oppose these nefarious "free" trade deals.

The Dream Theatre
The Dream Theatre by Sarah Ball
Children's Fiction, 8-12
It was a hot, sticky night. Most of the residents of Horam Wood were lying restless in their beds, wishing a charitable breeze would stir the air and freshen their toes. Instead dark clouds brewed overhead until finally, at 11.45pm, a bolt of lightning cut through the night sky. The valley flashed briefly with light and shadow and then, with the trembling thunder, came the first fat drops of rain.
Jamie Ellis turned over in bed, pulled his covers up towards his chin and settled again with a heavy sigh. The rain fell faster and harder. It soaked into the ground, turning loose soil into muddy streams that poured from overhanging rocks like dirty waterfalls into the valley below.
Jamie sank back into the depths of sleep and began to dream. Images filled his mind. At first they were memories of the day before; breaking up from school for the summer, having a water fight in his back garden with his best friend Martha and being told off for soaking his little brother, Ralph.
Then the pictures shifted and the mood of his dream darkened. Fields of dry grass stretched out ahead of him. He was running. The pounding of his feet matching the rhythm of the rain outside. Something was chasing him. He sensed danger and tried to pick up speed but his legs weren't responding. He couldn't run fast enough. The danger was gaining on him. He slipped, feeling a sickening drop in the pit of his stomach as the ground disappeared and he tumbled over a cliff edge. He reached out, just managing to grab hold of a thick tuft of grass, his legs swinging wildly as he stopped himself from falling any further.
Looking up he saw that whatever was pursuing him had gone. Instead he could see his house in the distance, too far for anyone inside to hear him shout for help. There was no sign of life, no car in the drive or toys in the garden and no one behind the unusually gloomy windows. He couldn't hold on much longer...

Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act Grants Necessary Relief
by Morgan Dilks
On the afternoon of Friday, June 5, 2020, new relief was granted to Paycheck Protection Program borrowers by way of the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020. The primary impact of the Act is that it provides millions of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") borrowers additional time to spend PPP funds and eases the use restrictions previously required to qualify for forgiveness.
The Forgiveness Period Is Expanding: Under the CARES Act, which provided for the PPP originally, borrowers had eight (8) weeks from the date the applicant received the funds to spend the PPP loan proceeds on a set percentage dedicated exclusively to payroll and qualifying payroll expenses, with the remainder going to other qualified expenses (such as rent, mortgage, utilities, or interest on prior existing debt obligations). That has been expanded to the earlier of twenty-four (24) weeks or December 31, 2020. If a borrower prefers, the borrower can elect for the covered period to remain as currently structured under the SBA's existing guidance. NOTE: The deadline to file for a PPP loan remains unchanged, so applications must be submitted to a qualified lender by June 30, 2020.
Relaxed Restrictions on Eligible Forgivable Expenses: Under the CARES Act, PPP Loans were forgivable if they were spent within eight weeks of receipt of funds, and spent according to the following formula: 75% had to be spent on payroll and other qualifying payroll expenses, 25% could be spent on rent, utilities, mortgage, or interest on prior existing debt obligations. The new legislation which has taken effect under the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act requires that only 60% of forgivable expenses be used towards payroll costs, as opposed to 75%. Up to 40% of your PPP loan can now be used for the other qualifying expenses outlined above.
Extension of Period for Restoring FTEs and Salary/Wages: This legislation extends the period in which borrowers must restore FTEs or salaries/wages from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020. In essence, combining this extension with the expanded forgiveness period means that if a borrower spends 100% of the PPP proceeds on payroll expenses and other qualifying expenses during the twenty-four week period starting the day the borrower receives the funds, and restores their FTE count by December 31, the entire loan amount will be forgiven.
New Exceptions Based on Employee Availability & Social Distancing/Safety Requirements: This Act includes two new exceptions to the requirement that borrowers restore their FTE count to February 15, 2020 levels by December 31, 2020. The first exception is when a borrower cannot find qualified employees to fill vacated positions. This applies both to when employers cannot restore their FTE count due to specific skillsets that are in high demand, as well as difficulty in filling positions due to COVID-19 risks and concerns. The second exception applies when the borrower cannot restore its operations to comparable pre-COVID-19 levels due to health restrictions (i.e., restaurants that are only allowed to operate at 25% capacity due to social distancing orders). For the second exception to apply, the restrictions must have been established by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Director of the CDC, or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Extending Maturity Date and Deferment Period: The loan maturity date for any loan amounts remaining after forgiveness is now a minimum of five (5) years, a three year increase over the previously required two (2) year maturity. Interest will remain at 1%; however, the deferment period is extended from "not less than six months" to the time a borrower's forgiveness is determined.
Employer Payroll Tax Deferrals for Two Years: This legislation also allows PPP borrowers to take advantage of the existing payroll tax deferrals permitted under the CARES Act for businesses not participating in the PPP. This legislation allows borrowers to defer 50% of the employer's share of payroll taxes until 2021 and the remaining 50% until 2022.
Additionally, the New Interim Final Rules issued by the SBA and the Treasury Department bring a resolution to rules governing payroll expenses to furloughed employees and bonuses/hazard pay to employees during the covered period. "Payroll costs" have been determined to include payments to furloughed employees and bonuses or hazard pay provided during the covered period, as long as the employee's total compensation does not exceed $100,000 on an annualized basis (this does not apply to self-employed individuals and owner-employees, who remain capped at the lesser of 8/52 of their 2019 compensation or $15,385.00 per individual). This provides a definitive answer to the widespread confusion on whether employers could spend PPP money on furloughed employee wages or pay bonuses during the covered period.
Finally, a significant benefit of the Payroll Protection Program Flexibility Act is that it reduces the risk borrowers face in determining how to spend 100% of their PPP proceeds in a short amount of time without running afoul of the rules governing forgiveness. With the extended use window, employers can take more time to spend the PPP proceeds on undoubtedly qualifying expenses without having to guess how the SBA will ultimately view maneuvers such as pre-paying rent/mortgage obligations (an issue on which the SBA has yet to provide clarity) simply to spend through the money in the previously allotted eight weeks. This will allow employers to simplify their forgiveness application, leading to a smoother forgiveness process for borrowers.

I love an engagement shoot!
What a beautiful couple Joanna and Eddie are. We started late afternoon last Saturday on the sand at my favorite beach for photography (The Montage). Then we moved to my 'secret' location in Laguna Beach that has a rural feeling, plus a fabulous urban-vibe graffiti wall. Eddie was a great sport and Joanna was … well, beautiful!
It was extremely difficult to pick my favorites, let alone THE favorite, but this may very well be it.
I can hardly wait to photograph their wedding next month!
Eddie is 6 4″, so I had to work some magic to get them in the frame together!

'Hawaii Five-0' Profile: Lynn Downey
Steve McGarrett (Ex)
Unnamed brother
Episode count
Na Kama Hele
Lynn Downey is a young woman from Honolulu, Hawaii and the Ex girlfriend of Commander Steve McGarrett.
Early life[edit | edit source]
Lynn grew up with her father and brother. Her father was a commercial fisherman, and Lynn says she grew up on boats and always told her dad that he didn't drive the boats fast enough.
When she and her brother were young, they would take turns picking which location their family would go on the weekends. When she was 15 her grandfather took them to the very same place that Steve takes her to on their first date.
Undergraduate in LA, then came back to Hawaii and got her psych degree at UH. Was lucky enough to be hired right out of school and now works at the Department of Human Services. She helps adolescents stay out of jail, specializing in hard cases, repeat offenders, kids the system is ready to give up on.
Season 6[edit | edit source]
In Na Kama Hele, Lynn drives up to Steve's house in a blue jeep, where he is preparing for their first date. In order to get to their date location, Steve has to drive them there by boat. On their way, Lynn tells Steve that he's very ambitious, Steve asks why. Lynn tells him that most guys would go for coffee or Mai Tai's on the beach for a first date. Steve says "go big or go home" with a smile, Lynn says "I guess so."
Steve mentions that they're going snorkeling in a location that he and his dad were going to go, but never got the chance. Lynn says that Ellie mentioned his dad and that he was a good man. There's a bit of an awkward silence before Lynn asks if she can have a go at steering the boat. Steve asks her if she's ever driven one before, Lynn says she has, as her father was a commercial fisherman and she grew up on boats. Lynn then pushes Steve out of the way and takes her place at the steering wheel. Lynn asks if Steve's ready before she speeds up, while saying that her dad always went too slow when he drove.
When they arrive at the snorkeling location, Lynn stripes down to her bikini and puts on her snorkeling gear. Steve asks when was the last time Lynn was out here, she says it was when she was 15 with her grandfather. After Steve puts on his mask and insists that she dives in first, Lynn pushing him into the water and tells him military types are always too polite while laughing. Lynn sits on the edge of the boat to put on her mask and Steve shoves the boat causing her to fall in as well.
The two of them then snorkel together over the reef for a few hours, after they come up Lynn asks Steve if she can show him something. The two of them are then dressed in their day clothes and are on an island. While walking through the jungle, Steve gets to know Lynn a bit better. She brings Steve to a big open field with an awesome backdrop of a mountain range, Steve is in awe of the place as he looks around.
Lynn calls Steve to look back and takes a surprise photo of him, she then tells him they'll need to take another as he took a bad picture. Lynn gets a good shot of Steve with the mountains in the background, she says it's a keeper. Steve then offers to take a photo of her and allows Lynn time to fix her hair and look nice. Steve takes the photo and cuts of Lynn's head in the image, she tells him that he's banned from taking any more photos and then she takes a selfie of her and Steve.
Steve stares at the photo for a little while, causing Lynn to say that she can erase it if he doesn't like it, but Steve says it's perfect. He then says that they should head back now as it is getting late. Lynn smiles and says she now a shortcut, and tells Steve to try and keep up as she runs off ahead. Steve tells her to lead the way and follows after her.
Lynn accidentally gets them lost, she apologizes as it's been along time since she was last here, but Steve says it's fine they'll just turn around and go back the way they came. Steve then notices something hidden in the trees ahead of them, they go closer to it discover it's a plane. Steve notices that the plane is in very good condition, and there's no way that is crash landed on the island.
Before they can have a look inside, they are fired upon by a man, Dennis Logan, Steve grabs Lynn by the arms and tells her to move. They run into the jungle, Steve continually telling Lynn to keep moving, as the man continues to shoot at them. They quickly hide among the trees, Lynn starts to panic a little, while Steve checks both of their phones for a signal, he's out of luck. Steve tells her everything is going to be okay, and helps keep her calm as the man passes by their hiding place.
Steve explains to Lynn that the man is obviously upset that they stumbled upon his location but it's going to be okay. Lynn asks what are the going to do, the man can keep shooting at them all day, no one is going to hear it. Steve tells her she going to do two things, first thing's Lynn is going to do is breathe in for 4 seconds and then breathe out for 4 seconds, it's called combat breathing - it helps with the stress. Lynn asks what's the next thing she's doing, Steve says she going to remain calm. Lynn says she will, as soon as the man stops shooting at them.
Steve smiles and says if she can make a joke, then they're making progress. Steve tells her, he's not going to let anything happen to her and tells her the plan is for them to make it back to their boat as they don't have a gun, Lynn agrees. They both then make a break for it and take off running again through the jungle, with Steve in the lead and Lynn following close behind.
They get to the beach, only to find their boat has been set on fire, Lynn says that boat was their only way off of the island.
Lynn and Steve hide and listen to the man as he talks to a woman on his walkie talkie. Steve then tells Lynn that they need to get back to the plane, as there may be a weapon or a radio or information on the people on the island, something that will give them an advantage. Lynn is shocked that Steve wants to go back to the plane, but Steve points out it'll be the last place these people will look for them, unless she has a better idea. Lynn says she's so terrified she can't think, but yes they will go to the plane. Steve says good and that need to move, Lynn stops him and says she know a better way. Lynn brings Steve to a waterfall and tells him that need to cross the falls to get to the shortcut.
Lynn leads Steve up the waterfall and says it's not so bad and it'll save them a lot of time. As they make it across the man found them again and starts shooting at them. Lynn and Steve run into the bushes. When Steve gets the drop on the man, Lynn watches as the two men fight. She goes for the dropped gun when she can, but is pushed down and hits her head on the rocks, cutting her head open.
After finishing defeating the man, Steve quickly helps Lynn up and helps bandages up her head with part of his shirt. They make it to the plane and enter it. Steve tells Lynn to keep a lookout. They discover that the plane was carrying a prisoner that was released from his cuffs. They find information that says the prisoner was a mob boss, Oliver Zelenko, that was thought to be dead.
They search the plane and Lynn finds an ELT, unfortunately the ELT dies before it can send out an alert. Steve suggests to Lynn, that if they can get to another power source he can get the ELT working again.
Lynn and Steve make their way through the jungle, when Steve notices that Lynn's wound is bleeding again. He stops her and tells it needs more than a bandage this time. Steve sits her down and uses coconut water to disinfect her head wound and wraps a new bandage around her head. They then hear a boat pull up, and Steve tell Lynn that she's going to steal it. Steve distracts the two bad guys as Lynn sneaks into their camp and pulls the boat towards the water.
Lynn almost has the boat in the water, when Dennis shows back up and and grabs her. He tells her the plans almost worked. Denis drags Lynn back to the field her and Steve found at the beginning of the day. He forces her to her knees and calls out Steve, saying he will shoot Lynn if Steve doesn't come out.
Steve has managed to capture the other person, Vicki Kelly, and tell Dennis through her walkie-talkie he's going to take her back to the island. Dennis doesn't believe that Steve would just leave his girlfriend, but Steve tells him that he just meet Lynn so why would he care what happens to her. Lynn can only look around in shock at what Steve just said as he leaves.
Dennis then takes Lynn back through the jungle, telling her that she better hope that Steve didn't take his boat. Lynn angrily tells him that if Steve took his girlfriend, he definitely took this boat. They get to the beach and find Vicki tied up in the boat, but no sign of Steve. Dennis shoves Lynn to the ground and asks Vicki where is Steve.
Steve comes out of the jungle with a shotgun manages to get Dennis to drop his gun and drop to his knees. Lynn picks up the gun ad aims it at Dennis, Steve tells her that if he moves, she should shoot him. She says it'll be her pleasure.
Lynn and Steve make it back home and hand over Dennis and Vicki to the waiting police. Lynn then tells Steve that went really well for a first day. Steve totally agrees, citing that they're both still alive as a really good sign. He then offers to take Lynn home. As they're walking towards Steve's car, Lynn says that Steve was pretty convincing on the walkie-talkie, Steve shrugs and says it worked. Lynn then asks what was Plan B if it didn't work, Steve smiles and he'll tell her next Saturday. Lynn asks if Steve is asking her out on a second date, Steve says they go for coffee and that'll it be safe. Lynn says that coffee sounds like a perfect date.
In Hoa 'Inea, on Valentine's Day morning Lynn, after spending the night with Steve, finds the ring he bought for Catherine. She asks Steve what it means. After Steve explains, Lynn says she doesn't want to be a part of a rebound relationship. She thinks Steve's head is not in the game and leaves, very upset.
That night Steve decides to pull out all the stops and woos Lynn with a great Valentine's Day date. They had a lovely evening and all was forgiven. When they got back to Steve's place, Lynn gets Steve on the couch and decides to make it up to him by doing a little strip tease. She accidentally kicks her heel off and it hits Steve in the eye, giving him a black eye for the rest of the day.
The next day Lynn and Steve enjoy a beer on his little strip of beach. Steve puts the cold beer on his black eye and Lynn just laughs at him.
Steve McGarrett and Lynn were set up on a blind date by Ellie Clayton.
In Makaukau 'ce e Pa'ani, Steve is revealed to be single. No indication of a change of their relationship status has been given (before or after this episode), implying a friends with benefits situation so far.
In No Ke Ali'i' Wahine A Me Ka Aina Steve once again claims to be single. Later shown to have a relationship pending with Alicia Brown in Hu a'e ke ahi lanakila a Kamaile. However, in Ka makuahine a me ke keikikane Lynn believes to be in a relationship with him.

Best known for his summer anthem 'Trap Queen', hip-hop star Fetty Wap's unique, melodic rapping style took him from the New Jersey housing projects to the top of the US charts. Raised in the city of Paterson, Fetty (real name Willie Maxwell) comes from a Haitian family. He suffered a childhood accident that led to him developing glaucoma and losing the vision in his left eye. He dropped out of school in the tenth grade and was turned on to music by rap idols such as Gucci Mane and Young Jeezy, cutting his teeth on street corners and performing on mixtapes with his Remy Boyz crew and Zoo Gangs collective. Influenced more by the woozy, trap style of Southern rap than the local East Coast stars, Fetty Wap's reputation spread through word-of-mouth and critical buzz and he had been rapping for only three years when his single 'Trap Queen' made him one of the breakthrough stars of 2015. Telling the tale of a romance between a drug-dealing couple, the track's recognisable lo-fi, strutting beat grew in popularity on social media and went on to reach number two in the US and became a big global hit. With its mix of modern R&B hooks and club-friendly hip-hop anthems, his debut album 'Fetty Wap' featured close friend Monty and several long-time, neighbourhood collaborators, shooting to number one on the US Billboard Charts and becoming one of only a handful of albums to reach one billion on-demand streams. Follow-up singles '679' and 'My Way' also made the US top ten and Fetty Wap made a string of high profile guest appearances on stage with Taylor Swift and Kanye West as well as producing mixtapes with French Montana and PnB Rock. There were also popular collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and Gwen Stefani before he returned in 2018 with new EP 'For the Fans III' and mixtape 'Bruce Wayne'.

I am quite satisfied with their services and would like to give them 5 stars."
How would you rate LMFX?
