Loretta Lynn, what an amazing person


the most awarded female country recording artist and the only female ACM Artist of the Decade, she taught herself to play a $17 guitar, and in by age 34 began making number one hits, 16 in all.

Country music radio stations often refused to play her music, banning nine of her songs, but Lynn pushed on to become one of country music's legendary artists. She and contemporaries like Tammy Wynette provided a template for female artists in country music to follow.

Her best-selling 1976 autobiography, Coal Miner's Daughter, was made into an Academy Award–winning film of the same title in 1980, starring Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones.

Lynn is the most awarded woman in country music (including 4 grammys and 7 AMAs) , has recorded 70 albums, including 54 studio albums, 15 compilation albums, one tribute album to Patsy Cline, and to date Lynn had been inducted into more music Halls Of Fame than any other female recording artist.

Jonathan/Jillian Bearden, pre-op, 36-year-old biological male dominated the women’s division of the Nov 2016 El Tour de Tucson, an annual cycling competition in Arizona that attracts thousands of amateur and professional cyclists, winning the 106-mile race in 4 hours and 36 minutes, 25 minutes behind former Mexican Olympian cyclist Hugo Rangel, who took home first place in the men’s division. That's right, a professional male cyclist who feels like a woman was the winner of a woman's race, and was that close to the time of a Olympic cyclist after 106 miles On the other hand, in June 2016, Alaskan high school girls felt cheated after teenage male Nattaphon Wangyot took home all-state honors in girls’ track and field. Wangyot immigrated from Thailand. Is allowing pre-op men to

2017 Honda Ridgeline Styling - Good Looks Matter

Image
Honda needed only a silhouette to show that the polarizing "flying buttress" profile of the original Ridgeline was gone, replaced on the forthcoming 2017 model with the conventional cab/bed style found on nearly every pickup built in the last 100 years. Honda learned the hard way with the original Ridgeline that you can be innovative with the features and bones of a truck, but not the design. It took that lesson to heart while developing the latest model, going to extraordinary lengths to get the visual details right. The effort started early in the second-generation Ridgeline's design process. Honda held clinics in California and Texas with pickup buyers and showed them a variety of trucks without their brand labels. The research found that buyers made assumptions about toughness and payload based on the gaps in the wheel arches between the tire and the truck body, and the height of the bed. If a pickup had a trailer hitch, people assumed it could tow more. "Those t
