Earthquakes home schedule

There is a new house feeling that cannot be replicated in a home that has had previous owners . Here, the carpet is fluffed, the grout is pure white and the home awaits memories to be made. At 3001 Inwood Drive, the finishes and floor plan are a step above the normal new-build home. After all, the River Oaks mansion designed by Robert Dame has 13,630 square feet waiting for memories—and that's only in the main house. The primary suite is on the first floor, while five guest bedrooms are on the second. A wing of the home contains a guest apartment with an exercise room and game room providing a buffer of privacy between it and the rest of the home. The home's design combines traditionalist elements, such as the wood paneling in the library, with contemporary features such as black-framed windows and wood beams. Whether hosting friends or helping with homework, the spacious kitchen's oversized U-shaped island is ideal for conversation. The slab stone countertops and white oak … [Read more...] about $16.5M Houston mansion still has that new house smell

Charles Leclerc believes a change in his off-track preparation has allowed him to stay a step ahead of Carlos Sainz this season. Sainz pulled off an upset in his first season with Ferrari as, against most expectations, he ended 2021 with 5.5 more points than the established Leclerc but that has not proved to be the case in 2022. Leclerc established himself as the number one driver and went on to finish 60 points ahead of Sainz and in front of all of other drivers expect Championship winner Max Verstappen. Not only did Sainz finish behind Leclerc, he also trailed George Russell and Sergio Perez as the Spaniard seemed unable to extract the maximum performance out of the F1-75. Leclerc meanwhile secured the second highest number of wins from a single driver and was notably quicker in qualifying, earning nine pole positions which was the most of any driver and three times the amount Sainz managed. The Monegasque was asked how he stayed ahead of his team-mate through the … [Read more...] about The theory behind how Charles Leclerc was able to beat Carlos Sainz

Toto Wolff admitted the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix had been a microcosm of Mercedes’ season in some ways, showing it has been “very hard to cope” at certain moments. Having caught up to Red Bull and Ferrari’s pace to a degree where they earned a one-two finish at Brazil at the penultimate race of the season, Mercedes fell away from the pace again at the finale at Yas Marina. Lewis Hamilton had worked his way up to the podium places, but a hydraulic issue ended his race, and season, prematurely, while George Russell came home a distant fifth. Mercedes were the third-fastest car for almost the entire season and given the in-between status they had between the front-runners and the midfield, Russell was in something of a no-man’s land during the race, as had often been the case in the first half of the season – despite his consistent top-five placings. Speaking to the BBC’s Chequered Flag podcast after Hamilton’s retirement and asked if Russell’s points were much consolation, Wolff … [Read more...] about Toto Wolff found F1 2022 season ‘very hard to cope with’ at times

Christian Horner was thrilled to see both championships return to Red Bull in 2022, not least because they were “nowhere” when the last mass regulation change took place in 2014. Red Bull moved into that season off the back of four consecutive ‘doubles’ of Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship victories, but the switch to the turbo hybrid era saw Mercedes fly out of the traps and launch into their own dominant era. Red Bull still finished second in the 2014 season, with Daniel Ricciardo being the only non-Mercedes driver to win a race all year, but they trailed their rivals in the Constructors’ standings by almost 300 points. This time around, the tables have turned again between the two teams – Red Bull taking home both titles and finishing 244 points clear of the Silver Arrows in the Constructors’ chart. The RB18 has also proven to be a record-breaking car, helping Max Verstappen on his way to an all-time record 15 race victories in the year, along with two more for Sergio … [Read more...] about Christian Horner details Red Bull’s journey of comeback from ‘nowhere’ in 2014

(AP) — Deion Sanders is taking over as head coach at Colorado, bringing his charisma and larger-than-life persona to a beleaguered Pac-12 program that’s plunged to the bottom of college football. The deal was announced Saturday night by CU athletic director Rick George. The Pro Football Hall of Famer has been at Jackson State, a historically Black college that plays in the NCAA’s second tier of Division I, since 2020. Sanders has guided the Tigers to consecutive Southwestern Athletic Conference titles. The Tigers beat Southern in the SWAC championship game Saturday in Jackson, Mississippi, and a few hours later Colorado announced he was coming to Boulder.

(AP) — The reception area of a metro Atlanta office suite is a veritable museum of Herschel Walker’s football success for the University of Georgia Bulldogs and the NFL. The office is part of the Atlanta Braves' real estate development in the Major League Baseball franchise's new suburban home. This headquarters for Georgia’s Republican U.S. Senate nominee isn’t officially about athletics, of course. Yet the location and décor help show much professional sports and college loyalties explain political divides in this battleground state, where Walker is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in a Tuesday runoff. “Sports are a cultural identifier, and in the South, college fandom is a big part of that,” said David Mowery, a University of Georgia alumnus, avid Bulldogs supporter and now an Alabama-based political consultant who works with … [Read more...] about In Georgia, how sports explain a political battleground

Listen to this article Over a decade ago, Ford SVT introduced the Raptor, meant to be the top-spec model at the top of the Blue Oval truck food chain. For years the nameplate had been reserved for the F-150 full-size truck, but that changed when Ford debuted the Ranger Raptor in 2019 for markets outside the US. With the F-150 Raptor now on its third generation and the Ranger Raptor on its second iteration , is there a chance for Ford to expand the high-performance Raptor range to include the bigger Super Duty trucks? Ford Super Duty engineering manager Aaron Bresky answered that question in an interview with Ford Authority .

Listen to this article The news of Tambay’s death was communicated by his family to French news agency AFP on Sunday. He had been known to be suffering from Parkinson's disease, a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system, as well as diabetes. Born on June 25, 1949, Tambay went on to spend a decade in F1, racing for some of the biggest teams in grand prix racing including McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. He made his debut at the French Grand Prix in 1977 with Surtees but failed to qualify, before switching to Theodore Racing for the second half of the season.

After claiming a podium finish in only his second race with the Scuderia at Brands Hatch, Tambay notched up his maiden victory at the German … [Read more...] about Ferrari F1 race winner Patrick Tambay dies aged 73
