Northern Iberians: Life, Death and Ritual on the other side of the Pyrenees • Zagreb
There's nothing quite like a picture of a smashed-up human skull to send you scurrying to an exhibition about some prehistoric culture you've never heard of before. The stark poster advertising 'Northern Iberians: Life, Death and Ritual on the Other Side of the Pyrenees', a travelling exhibition created by the Archeological Museum of Catalonia, certainly does the trick. It focuses our attention on the darker rituals of the ancient Iberians – who lived in north-eastern Spain in the immediate centuries before and after Christ. The poster image refers to some of their odder practices, such as cutting off their enemies' heads and nailing them to poles in the middle of the street. However there was more to Iberian culture than this, as the fine ceramics and jewellery in this exhibition attests. The Iberians also had a written language, although it was supplanted by Latin in the second century AD and has no known descendants. However it's in Iberian sculpture that this shadowy culture comes alive, with figures of goddesses, sphinx-like beasts and armoured horsemen revealing a compelling, part-classical part-primitive beauty. If you've never come across the ancient Iberians before, this is a great opportunity to make their acquaintance.

Festivals happening in Croatia
Croatia festival guide
The Croatia festival scene in 2015 is as exciting as ever. Here's where to make the most of a vintage season at the seaside...
Outlook Festival 2015
Now in its 8th year, Outlook is a firm favourite on the underground dance, garage, dub step, hip hop and reggae scene. Fort Punta Christo is brought alive with resounding bass, lasers, bars and live acts and the party spreads all the way to nearby camps. Set to astound again this year is a prestigious line-up the likes of which fans have come to expect from Outlook: Jurassic 5, Beenie Man, Roni Size and Madlib included. The nearby city of Pula is home also to an ancient Roman amphitheatre as well as numerous clubs, pubs, restaurants and attractions, so take some time off during the day to explore and you won't be disappointed.
Hideout Festival 2015
Hideout Festival is five years old, and has established itself already as one of Croatia's hottest festivals - unsurprising, really, as its set on legendary party beach Zrce, on the Island of Pag. Whether you feel tents are all part of the experience or prefer private accommodation, there are plenty of options already organised and these can be combined with tickets, so there's very little hassle involved if you want to get raving. Set on the beach itself and at a selection of top local clubs, line-ups include mainstream artists and DJs, from drum 'n' base sensation Shy FX to recent chart-topper Sigma to Eats Everything. A generally young crowd revels in the music from 10pm to 6am and there are numerous boat and pool parties, too, and don't worry if you do need to nurse a hangover, as the other end of the beach offers plenty of places to sweat, tan and swim.
Stop Making Sense Festival 2015
With day-time tickets on sale from £30 each, it's easier than ever to attend the landmark Stop Making Sense festival at The Garden Tisno. Overnight ticket options can include travel and on or off-site accommodation, whilst tickets for the glorious boat parties must be purchased seperately. Skream, Jackmaster, Martyn and more make up the line-up released thus far; Anja Schneider returns after a phenomenally successful performance to last year's crowd. The overall atmosphere is intimate, like a group holiday: when you've had enough of dancing in the bars and clubs, take a dip in the sea, sip a cocktail at the beach bar, enjoy a barbecue under the trees or explore the picturesque coast.
Where to stay in Croatia
Recommended Dubrovnik hotels
It's hard to keep track of the ever-rising number of high-end Dubrovnik hotels, but the city also packs some impressive hostel and B&B options. As is common in Dalmatia, high-season prices are significantly higher than in spring or autumn, and some venues close at some point in the winter – though this policy is changing as Dubrovnik becomes a more year-round destination. Read on for your guide to the best hotels in Dubrovnik.
The best Zagreb hotels
The problem with Zagreb hotels in the past was the dearth of venues between the bunk-bed and smoking-jacket ends of the spectrum. This is no longer the case, given attractive range of options available. As Zagreb continues to spread its wings as a destination in its own right – rather than a spot to lay over before the coast – hotel options continue to grow. Here are the best.
Hotel Kornati • Biograd
Inspired by the nearby Kornati National Park, Hotel Kornati actually has a view from some rooms of the southern islands. This hotel has access to both a sandy and pebbly beach, and has its own marina: boats and dinghies are available to rent and can be arranged through the hotel for those wishing to explore the nearby archipelago. The hotel offers entertainment programs, wellness, tennis courts and a buffet restaurant. Wifi and parking are extra.
Hotel Adriatic • Orebić
This handsome stone building on the shoreline path, previously owned by the church and then a school, was transformed into an intimate boutique hotel two years ago. The six rooms feature rich fabrics and exposed stone; the terrace of the hotel's Stari Kapetan restaurant has an enviable position perched right on the shore. Views across the water to Korčula are superb. This hotel is adults only.
Hotel Excelsior • Dubrovnik
A €22-million refit of Dubrovnik's most prestigious hotel was followed by a grand reopening in 2008. Built in 1913 as a private villa, it became the Hotel Excelsior in 1930. Royals, writers, movie stars, they all stayed here. Acquired by Adriatic Luxury Hotels group in 2000, it now features four restaurants, three pools, a piano bar and spa. The adjoining Villa Rustica also contains luxury lodging for six. The Satu sushi bar and the luxuriant wellness centre endow the hotel with additional kudos.

per C.Trent homer will make a start on thursday against the giants. He threw 90 pitches in 6 innings in the simulated game.
Have a drink on me! :beerme:
Excellent. A reason to watch.
It will be good to see if he will be ready for the rotation next year. It could make a big difference if he is.
MILWAUKEE -- The Reds announced Sunday that top pitching prospect Homer Bailey would be called up to start on Thursday against the Giants in San Francisco.
Bailey last pitched for the Reds on July 7 before he was sent back to Triple-A Louisville. He spent July 19-Aug. 23 on the disabled list with a strained right groin.
After he was activated, Bailey made two starts for Class A Sarasota and went 0-1 with a 10.13 ERA before the Minor League season ended. The 21-year-old has been throwing in simulated games at the Reds' spring complex since then.
In the latest simulated game on Saturday, Bailey threw 90 pitches. It put him on track to start on Thursday in San Francisco on regular four days' rest. The right-hander is expected to join the Reds in San Francisco on Wednesday.
"I leaned on our development people. In this case, [Sarasota pitching coach] Tom Brown said he felt enough progress had been made and [Bailey was] well enough to pitch," Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "We're going to see how he does Thursday."
Bailey was 6-3 with a 3.07 ERA in 12 starts this season for Louisville. After he made his big league debut on June 8, he had mix results, going 2-2 with a 6.99 ERA in six starts. He had some trouble with command -- evidenced by his 21 walks allowed compared to 15 strikeouts over 28 1/3 innings.
Kirk Saarloos pitched four innings in a spot start and took the lost in Saturday's 5-3 Reds defeat to Milwaukee. Saarloos, who was not guaranteed another outing, was informed that he wouldn't make Thursday's start by interim manager Pete Mackanin.
Mackanin, who took over as manager on July 3, saw Bailey make just one start before the right-hander was sent down.
"I saw potential," Mackanin said. "It's all about command. A pitcher's best friend is control and command of the fastball."
There appeared to be no pre-determined limit on Bailey's pitch count or innings for the start.
"He's been on a regular program. Pete will make the call," Krivsky said. "It's Pete's decision. As with all of our pitchers, we try to use common sense."
Pretty interesting article on why Bailey was brought up, so I decided to show it on this thread.
If Homer is healthy this is a no brainer. The games against the Giants are some of the few throwaway games the Reds have. Apparently Bailey was going to be throwing 90 or more pitches in a simulated game regardless, so why not bring him up for this oppurtunity.
If nothing else this start can viewed as a reward for the rehab work Homer has done in the last 2+ months. It seems pretty clear that he wasn't at 100% when he was with the big club yet he was optioned down AAA before being disabled which may have cost him suoer two status down the road. So this can help reinforce a postive attitude for him heading into next year.
There is also some sense in not sending Saarloos back out to start again despite him having a passable effort. The same positive ending note applies for him personally plus a better final effort may make it easier to pack him into a deal as a balancer.
It'll be nice to see Homer pitch in a pitcher's park
While the handling of Bailey this year has been questionable at best, I actually like the fact that he will be given another chance this year. If he doesn't pitch well, not much is lost. However, if he can end this year with a couple of solid appearances, then that could lead to more confidence and success next year. Good for them giving Homer a chance to end the year on a high.
I read that Bonds is out 5-7 days so he may not face him.
Hopefully Homer comes back strong. It would be nice to see what we got going into next year.

Seeking places to ride in Bucks County PA area
I am a solo rider and am looking to ride with some guys in the Central Bucks, area. Know of any places to ride? Or riders who make local day trips? Thank you. Mike/KTM 450sxf
I'm not from the area, but I have found Google maps/Google Earth very helpful.
Start by looking at areas that look interesting. Study the maps, and bring the person icon down to the streetview. Often times you can find two tracks and forest roads that are not on the map. Plus if you have any national forests nearby, you can ride you plated dirtbike on the NFS fire roads which is my personal favorite.
Some emaples of NFS fire roads here in Michigan.
Find your way to Van Sant Airport.
516 Cafferty Rd. Erwinna, PA. 18920
You will find lots of local riders there any weekend with decent weather.

The age-old questions of urban boundaries and city walls matter less today in a physical sense, but photographs have suggested that the political overlay of region, cities and neighborhoods still keep visible form, however counterintuitive.
Read Whole Story
A number of high-profile pedestrian deaths has put pedestrian safety on the public's radar and on our new mayor's agenda.
For many, a dramatic contrast in height, bulk and density is the recipe for "incongruity." But, in a larger sense, don't today's urban centerpieces by definition show the latent "incongruities" of city life?
Fire trucks and ambulances responding to emergencies have a higher priority legally and morally than people who choose to drive into Manhattan instead of taking public transit.
As 2013 comes to a close, here are 13 books (and a bonus e-book) you should investigate if you want to know more about why cities and metros matter, about the magnitude of the challenges that they are taking on, and about how they can do better.
In general, our mayor's race has been local in focus, without ample attention to how McGinn reflects, if not leads, the trend lines of changing cities everywhere.
"Over my dead body" is how renowned former Curitiba mayor Jaime Lerner responds to a question about the proposed subway for this Brazilian city, internationally famous for inventing the Bus Rapid Transit system under his leadership in the 1970s.
In London's Russell Square one recent morning, I saw the human-scale "tether" illustrated above. Whether for safety or togetherness, parent and chi...
A greater focus on the sit-able is an invitation to rich discussion and ready illustration based on human tradition.
The silence of Brovès provided a stark and confounding contrast. I found while photographing the townscape that without its people, the urban form along the highway had little voice. Are there practical lessons from these two models of how a place survives?
What often goes unrealized is that Washington, D.C. is so much more than a collection of government offices and historic buildings, it is also an urban city with all of the attendant challenges.
For everyone who is tired of our dysfunctional federal government, this metropolitan revolution offers a path forward. Metropolitan areas are succeeding in spite of grave economic and political challenges at the national level.
With billions headed for urban centers in the decades to come, and with cities already home to a majority of the earth's population, the future of cities and our environment are inextricably connected.
American's plague of violence is clear -- it strikes all communities -- and people cannot make up their own facts. We don't have only a problem of black violence in America -- we have a problem of male violence -- and thus white male violence and Latino male violence.

WASHINGTON -- Less than a week af...
Take a harder look, and see the reasons forests and farms have been elemental to growth management legislation, emulating the naturally evolved agricultural region that has always surrounded the City of Rome.
As public space has become increasingly privatized and commercialized, such green space reminds people that they're citizens and rights-bearers, and not merely consumers and logo-wearers.
At the core of the concern of people in communities across the country is the desire for their children to come home, for their families to heal and for forgiveness to take place.
Unfortunately, when it comes to these far-away urban places, not all of us have real-time access to the inspirational modern projects served by transit, or the historic monuments, streets and squares that illustrate the potential of creative city life.
Across the U.S., mayors, educators, philanthropists, business and community leaders and others who govern the nation's cities and metropolitan areas are taking on the big issues that the federal government won't, or can't, solve.
Data plays a crucial role in any serious effort to reduce urban poverty. It's tough to design initiatives and measure success without a clear understanding of who people are, where they live, and what problems they face.
As urban stakeholders -- residents, pundits, developers, associated professionals, and politicians -- we like to discuss and debate aspects of urb...

Dr. Don Williamson Discussing Ala. Medicaid Budget Cuts
By Ryan Vasquez
Tuscaloosa, AL – It's been one week since cuts to the state's Medicaid budget took effect. A dire budget shortfall prompted state lawmakers to make spending cuts. Dr. Don Williamson is Alabama's public health officer and is also chair of the Medicaid Transition task force. Alabama Public Radio's Ryan Vasquez talked to Wiliamson about the short term and long term impact of the cuts as well as how to fix Medicaid going forward.

This tablet is pure junk. Worked for a while, but is very glitchy and twitchy. I have had to reinstall it twice. And now the touch feature is dead. Save your money and buy a real tablet, not Dell junk...
Overall good tablet, suited for serious work than just games and is a good substitute for a laptop is it uses the same OS and not dumbed-down afaik. Good value for money at the discount pricing.
I wasnt very happy with the product it was very functional ran too much like a computer i wanted a tablette not a computer
This tablet is too cheap. Great performance, nice resolution, and its a great mini pc. Nice one dell.
Great tablet.love display.the size is perfect .better than ipad.
Although works quite well, those huge pixels are painful. In 2014 (or 2013) an 8-inch device with a 1280 x 800 low resolution screen is severely compromised. 1920x1080 is the minimum useful resolution for an 8" device. Try hi-resolution once. You will never go back.
I love my Windows 8 tablet. It has replaced my android and playbook tablets. Only use my laptop for gaming or writing long reports or emails. Everything runs and loads fast! Comes with MS Office. Real multitasking! Can switch to another program instantly and not loose data. Using pc version of Google Chrome as web browser for chromecast plugin. No more mobile websites like on android & ios. Thing i hate most about surfing on tablets and phones. All issues mentioned in previous post have be fixed with bios updates as far as i can tell.. My only complaint is the lack of HDMI out; which were on my playbook and android tablet.
This device is pretty fast. Unfortunately it becomes very hot within 5 minutes of use.
I have an iPad, Samsung Tab 3 and now the Dell Venue Pro 8. I wanted a Windows Tablet and after looking around for the money and for a full Windows 8.1 this tablet can't be beat. The only complain I have is battery life. I'm still enjoying the tablet just have to charge it a bit sooner than my other tablets
this product perfect for me. regular windows and same time small and usefull. BUT problem is touch screen too much sensitive, update driver but problem not solved. i hope this problem will be fix as soon as possible
For its size, it is really a fast computer. I put in virtualization, running linux and XP smoothly at the same time,
let alone other small applications. Next time I will try running CAD and other simulations, too.
In addition, it produces so much heat that is very useful during this cold winter. It would be nice if it were waterproof
so that I can use it when it is snowing.
Every Christmas I knock my head on the wall to buy a gift to my computer husband this year I choose the Dell Venue Pro. It was the best investment I ever did. Let me explain; normally I look at my husband back because he is in front of his computer. Since Christmas, we are in the same room and when he need he just take is Dell and work from the living room. I love it. Thank you Dell for having windows 8.1 which is compatible with his computer. He keep telling me he is very happy.
Had the tablet for about 3 weeks price is reasonable compact. fast took awhile to get use to Windows 8. The biggest issue I have with it is I cannot use it for what I bought it for Unable to use a flash drive with data like Spreadsheets documents letters etc. Works fine for pictures and music but I don't need music and pictures when I'm working.
I bought it. Great price of [price]. Works well.
BUT ...but I also wanted the stylus feature for drawing/teaching ERD and DW diagrams along with notes. No stylus available locally, so I went to DELL and also bought a case. Both were on backorder for a month. Finally after delays beyond the month I called them. The stylus is no longer available. They didn't bothered to let me know before I ordered.
This is a true open system tablet sized computer, fully running Windows 8, and comes with Office 2013 Home, and all under [price]. Unlike an iPad you can add external memory, and I can actually stream movies / TV shows off my home media server right out of the box. Print to my network printer, remote desktop into my work PC. This is a powerful, versatile and inexpensive device.
I am in love with this thing. Reading books in a coffee shop with it or configuring my office server or doing VB programming.
Only negative I find is the best screen resolution, font is incredibly small. Without a stylus or bluetooth mouse, it can be tricky operating in desktop mode with just your fingers for touch. Very minor issue however.
Great value for a Windows 8.1 Tablet. Tough learning curve, 'charm' menu, but just another language to learn. I'm finding it easy to pick up and use. I added the case and keyboard directly from Dell, thinking about adding the stylus. The only issue I'm having so far, I'm finding it tough to update the device. Where is 'Windows Update'.
I can't believe this tablet is under [price]. Not only does it have Windows 8.1, but it comes with MS Office. Great value!
Bought this on the pre Christmas sale, plus a 64GB microSD card, all for just over [price] including tax. I had researched this before buying and also added an OTG microUSB cable for cheap. Booted it up and set up the tablet as per any Windows 8.1 computer. Surprising how fast this is too! A bonus is that Office 2013 Home is part of this so I have Outlook and key office apps included. I have set up a core of my favourite Windows apps including some older XP programs all with no difficulty. Have also connected a host of my Bluetooth devices, a mini keyboard, speakers and ear piece. Through the OTG cable I can connect a mini hub to read flash drives and connect a wireless mouse. These worked just fine. The tablet is very well built, solid, professional looking. Currently waiting for a 3rd party case and an active stylus from Dell which I expect will make this a perfect 8" tablet. The Venue Pro is early to the table and it will not be long till other makers start offering their 8" products. Nonetheless the price I paid for the quality is all excellent. Strong recommend.
I got this for the family for Christmas, on-sale and it included an app card. You also get full Office 2013 applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint & OneNote). The Venue 8 Pro does so much more than my daughter's IPad, as it is a full PC, and it costs significantly less. The Windows 8 Metro apps work beautifully on this device and all the Office 2013 applications work just fine on this small screen. However, some of my older PC applications are too hard to work with on an 8 inch screen but they do install and work . The Venue 8 Pro is first and foremost a tablet and comes with 32GB of storage but that is expandable with microSD. The processor makes this tablet fast and fluid and the screen resolution is very sharp. Great deal for the price
I have always been disappointed in the table computer market. Why? Because they really cant do anything but run apps. For a phone (whether it's Android or IOS) it's fine but for a nice size tablet? Then windows 8 came out in tablet form! WOW!!
This is a FULL WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM WITH A TOUCH SCREEN that runs A DESKTOP OS! Not some down scaled OS that really does nothing productive.
Let me put to you this way, imagine taking your home computer with you but in the form on a tablet!
I've been using this thing for the past 6 hours since I received it and let me say that this thing is powerful for what it is. It runs very smooth, windows 8.1 is wonderful in tablet form!
Wouldn't it be great to have a tablet without the limitations of IOS and Android? Well folks, this is it!! I recommend spending the extra cash on the 64GB version AND investing some cash in a 64 GB card.
I can't speak for the other reviews but this thing is full of positives. I'm running FULL MS office! Can you do that in an Android or iOS? NO! I LOVE Android, I have a Galaxy S4 but for a tablet, full powered PC in tablet form is EXCELLENT!!!
I researched the web and this tablet had very favorable reviews, which prompted me to buy it. As advertised, the tablet is of superior build and functions very well, almost as well as my laptop with an i7 core. Unfortunately Windows 8.1 still needs to mature to handle tablets and other non-PC devices, as there are many quirks when using it on this tablet. Here are the pros and cons thus far:
- Build quality
- Performance
- Price
- Seamless integration to the Windows ecosystem
- Compatibility with Windows 8.1
- Most of the 32 GB memory is used up with OS; requires tweaking to store all files on SD card.
- Default resolution makes text difficult to read
- Single USB port for data transfer and addition of peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.)
- No video output
Great to see microsoft office included with this little productivity machine. Love the tablet for the price.
i bought this tablet during the flash sale, so it didn't come with a gift card. it's a great tablet for school work, comes with the full version of office, i order the stylus and keyboard cover from dell, can't wait to get it. what made me bought it was office, fantastic for taking notes in class, great battery life, ~6 hours on web and light video with office work. however, after 2 days of uses, the tablet would turn off randomly and not connect to wifi. so i contacted dell and they told me to exchange for another one, and it is a well known problem apparently. so i did and it works great, i can feel the heat on the back sometimes while watching a video and taking notes on word. 5/5 for school work, 3/5 for entertainment/games/apps, 5/5 for value and built quality 3.5/5. Great tablet overall, would suggest buying it over ipad or android for work. BTW i am a macbook pro user.
I needed a windows portable device and this is it! very happy with the purchase so far, it looks and feels good, sharp screen, good volume, good responsiveness. for the price, it is amazing! there's only one thing I did not understand, I went to increase the DPI scale on the desktop( to see everything bigger) to 300 % and then I wasn't able to minimize it again, making the desktop unusable. the icons are way too big and you cannot do much with it after that. So do not try that on yours! you may have to return it and exchange it.
still, that wasn't something you want to do on an everyday basis, i was just testing its capabilities when I did that. so I still gave it 5 stars. if this thing lasts for a few years, I could not be more happy. hope this helps.
I got this product on sale, and I find that it was worth every dollar. I love that it runs FULL Windows 8.1 rather than RT, so I can do basically whatever I want on this tablet. You sacrifice screen size for portability, but I'm ok with that. It is super light, and so convenient to bring around with me. I can watch movies just fine, download files with ease, and basically do all my daily computing with this.
I have been surprised to find so much performance in this tablet. The size is really good for Internet and for reading. I recommend this tablet. It comes with a real Intel CPU (Atom), so you can install any 32 bits applications.
Get Windows Tablet. Love the 8 inch display.
it's amazing product!You will be able to use all the Windows desktop apps like built-in mail, Bing aps and Nook or Kindle apps.
This is a great tablet!

Even we vegans sometimes get caught up in eating too many
processed foods, but don't worry, there's a new way to get your
greens in a quick, easy, and great-tasting
Nutra Summa Greens' unique blend can help increase energy and fight
fatigue, protect against free radical damage, support healthy blood
sugar levels, and activate immune response to help your body stay
strong and healthy.
Like fruits and vegetables, green foods contain a wealth of vital
nutrients, including 21 different vitamins and minerals. Unlike
most fruits and veggies, though, green foods like spirulina also
provide essential fatty acids, plus all 8 essential amino acids
needed to form complete proteins. Nutra Summa Greens also delivers
added nutrition from vegetables, fruits, seaweeds, and sprouts,
giving you more nutrition per serving than many comparable greens
powders. Just one tablespoon of Nutra Summa Greens has the same
antioxidant content as 4 cups of broccoli, packing in the most
nutrition possible.
Get your daily greens in this convenient supplement that mixes well
in your favorite beverages. 9.36 oz. (265g) container has 30
servings. $19.99 each.
Great supplement
From Lisa of Colorado Springs, Colorado on 4/13/2013.
I think this is a pretty good deal - 30 servings for $20 - and it's a nutritionally packed supplement that mixes without problem into my smoothies without any taste that I can detect. My little smoothie maker can't handle greens, so on days when I don't make green juice and need to boost my nutrition, I like to add this little tablespoon of goodness.

ROSEMONT, Ill., Jan. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a growing technology providing an increasing number of clinical benefits when used in the evaluation of back pain according to an article in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (http://www.jaaos.org/). It is predicted that over the next several years, additional technical developments will allow MRI to provide even more useful orthopaedic benefits.
Co-author Victor M. Haughton, MD, department of radiology,
Researchers continue to find new ways to apply technologies that were previously used exclusively on other areas of the body. MRI which is considered safe, fast and versatile is now being used in several spinal applications such as:
MRI scans are produced by stimulating the protons in tissues and liquids (such as fat, muscle, spinal cord, and fluid in the spine) using radiofrequency waves in the presence of a magnetic field. MRI detects the amount of energy emitted from these protons. This techno

I can't believe the car actually cleans and fixes itself as you drive. Sad.
"demo mode"?? more from Test Drive Unlimited. I miss TDU.
I would like a code! :P
Please please can i have a code for the EU for the beta! I love you guys and have followed you all the way from Wales in the UK!
Believe it or not, but I'm more excited for this than GTA V coming to PC. The list of reasons go on.
-The whole United States is in the game. Endless free roaming. It is what I have always dreamed of in a racing game for the past two decades I have been alive. Especially sense it has a great recreation of Chicago, which is my home town, and it has many other US land marks I have been to.
-The story missions look like a lot of fun and the story looks very good.
-The game has a crap pile of amazing and iconic cars that I can't wait to drive.
-There is so much customization you can do to your car. I really want to personalize my vehicle.
-The racing is very diverse. That is street racing, track racing, dirt road racing, and completely off road racing.
I sure hope you guys pick me for getting a beta key. It has been bothering me that I don't have one all week. I just can't wait to play this game. I have been following it ever since it was announced at E3 2013 and if I'm chosen, I'm going to spend many hours on it.
id love to win a beta key the game looks amazing
they have my hometown in this game i have to have a beta key
As someone that drove 1300 miles on July 4th just for the hell of it, this game is exactly what I want. I'd love a beta key if there are any left.
Blackmoonx359 is here to say i dont know but i dont want my car all over the road when im driving or trying not to crash into another car when breaking. .. but i hope it plays better then the beta when the full game come out...but i still want the beta code..,,thanks again. Xbox gamer tag BLACKMOONX359
#neverdrivealone. I have been waiting for this game since E3 2013 when they showd that trailer, this game is so awesome ive seen EVERY video involving The Crew. I signed up for the beta but I never got picked :(. It would just be really nice to get a code or (key). once again #neverdrivealone
I have been waiting since E3 2013 when they showed that trailer. This game looks SO awesome I have seen EVERY video anywhere having to do with The Crew. I have all but the last 2 golden plates which is good. I signed up for the beta but I didn't get a code or (key). It would be really nice to get this beta to try. #neverdrivealone.
Ive been waiting for this for a while and I would love to play the beta to ease the pain of waiting until november XD
Oh man. I love these big racing games like this. I'd love to give it a try and help with feedback!
Unless you're talking about the very very beginning... <_<'
In the last of us it was Boston where they started their journey... Not Austin.
The game looks awesome and I'd love to try it out. #neverdrivealone
That game looks really bad compared to Driveclub (and even Forza:H 2) ... I know it's open world and all, still, visually it reminds me of an original xbox game or PS2 game :-/
Anyway, I don't have to buy it!
Another bounce off the walls simulator with no penalty. At the very least it should cause proper damage - smashed glass, doors/bonnet/boot falling off, and preferably make your car drive/shift/turn slower. These things can then be repaired for ingame money (LOTS), thus rewarding the careful driver and giving you a reason to try and actually DRIVE instead of playing car pinball. Does it have any of that?
@mattcake but people love car pinball!
More to the discussion, this is an arcade racer, a descendant of the original Outrun, where people should just concentrate of taking the curves as fast as possible while avoiding the other cars.... This is how I see it, now the original outrun was running on 1986 level hardware (pretty high end for the time).
Now, I think I would prefer actual races as opposed to whatever you are supposed to do in an open world driving game.
Codes? What codes?
key please. I need to drive through Idaho.
shouting about the crue
Can I have a code please?
Does the game have a cockpit view option?
If the Beta was on PS4, I would be all over it.
I need a code
Does it work for European ppl?
good preview
#neverdrivealone because I have nothing else to do
They have my hometown Port Arthur of all the cities to include from Texas!
#neverdrivealone because the carpool lane is much faster
anybody got an extra code, PM me please, what GS did you only have like 10 codes and you said you were giving out many so people would watch, I know of 1 person who got one, 1 person.
Come on guys please hook me up with a beta code for the crew email@example.com I would love to play it
code plzzz
#neverdrivealone I want a beta code because I have followed this game since e3 and I have wanted to own the game and play it since..... but i think the game says it all
I need a beta code
why is the map so weird? They made the USA, look completely inaccurate.
@themc_7 I have no idea what you're talking about, we all know Miami is the only place that exists in the south!
I wanted to like this games since racing sims and games are my favorite genre, but the multiplayer and online only aspect just kills it for me. Having to drive around with other people just doesn't appeal to me. The worst thing is this kind of stuff is all we are going to see with the release of the new consoles.
@lonesamurai1 So do you have an extra key, or did you use one and not like it, should've given it to me :P
I have been waiting from they day it has been announced :) I Want this.
Just got my key :D
Looks really fun. Must admit one day I hope Europe and the UK get a similar treatment since anyone who hasn't been to the US for more than a couple weeks won't really be able to relate to it as much but still that scale says good things about the coming gen.
I want a beta key.. :)
looks massive.. and boring.
@brockelley Kind of like Skyrim all over again. I'm sure if you enter a Crew, and actually do races it will be a lot more fun.
when do the jolly brits get a beta code, it always nice to play a game before you buy, adds to the anticipation. this looks great but i still feel its lacking something, hence why id like a beta please
#neverdrivealone I don't need a reason for my excitement about this game....THE CREW says it all!!!
Something! O.o
#neverdrivealone Game looks really AWESOME!!

Lifes An Adventure!
Most friends and family have told me I have a huge heart, and always ready to drop everything to go and help out if I'm needed. I'm very laid back, and always looking for my next great adventure. I love my life, my family, and my friends. They helped me become the person I am today. I never take myself too seriously, and will on occasion laugh at myself. I would love to find a travel mate, because the world still has many hidden treasures that I would love to discover. I have travelled to London, Belize, and Australia so far, and hoping to make it to Africa soon.

Kathryn Gleason
Under her guidance, the Terriers are coming off a 36-21 season and a trip to the 2014 NCAA Regional. Following a tough defeat against host and then-No. 11 Arizona, BU picked up an 8-3 victory over American Athletic Conference Champion Louisville, the first for a Patriot League program since 2009.
Accepting her first head coaching position at BU, Gleason was already quite familiar with the Terriers, having spent a combined six seasons at the University of Massachusetts, including the last two as associate head coach. Working primarily with the Minutewomen's infielders, she helped lead the team to the 2012 Atlantic 10 Championship and a 38-13 overall record after finishing 29-19 in 2011.
Gleason previously served as an assistant coach with the Minutewomen from 1996-2000, helping lead the team to two Women's College World Series appearances. Before rejoining UMass in 2010, she coached for six years at Michigan State, serving the last five years as associate head coach. She primarily worked with the infield, coaching six All-Big Ten and four All-Region honorees, along with guiding the Spartans to four straight Big Ten Tournament berths. She served as the program's recruiting coordinator and assistant director of all camps and clinics. Gleason was also the Spartans' liaison for the Friends of Jaclyn program.
Joining the Spartans' staff in June of 2004, Gleason moved to State following a three-year stint as an assistant coach at Purdue University (2001-2004) and four years as an assistant coach at UMass (1996-2000).
She is a graduate of the University of Michigan where she played for the Wolverines, while earning a degree in sport management and communications.
She is heavily involved with the NFCA, currently serving as first vice president after previously working as the second vice president and assistant coach representative for the association.

|1 Teaspoon
|Vegetable oil
|1 Teaspoon
|1 Teaspoon

St. Lucie teachers not doing 'extras' as part of protest for higher salaries
In a peaceful protest for higher salaries, many St. Lucie County teachers are only working the hours required by their contract.
St. Lucie teachers have not received a pay increase since 2007. Hoping to send a message to St. Lucie school officials and the community that teachers deserve raises, many teachers are not coming in early, staying after hours, working through lunch and taking papers home to grade.
"There seems to be this misperception that teachers are supposed to spend their own money on treats for the classroom, that they're supposed to give up their weekends to take other people's children on trips at the expense of their own children and families," said Vicki Rodriguez, vice president of the St. Lucie Classroom Teachers Association and Classified Unit. "While we enjoy doing those things there has to be a point where you say, 'I can't continue to do that' and I think our folks have reached that point."
While teachers believe the district has the money to pay teachers more, district officials said they can't afford recurring salary increases.
"The only way you get money is to reduce people and the position of this school board for the last five years has been we don't want to lose people and the union has supported that," Superintendent Michael Lannon said. "The school board has to look at it just like a business decision. If we had any kind of assurance from state leadership that they valued educators, it would put most districts in Florida I think in a different perspective."
Lannon said he's received letters from both the teachers union and the district's other union, the Communications Workers of America, to return to traditional collective bargaining for negotiating salary and benefits.
Since 2003 when Lannon became superintendent here, the district has used less-contentious collaborative bargaining. With this type of bargaining, also called interest-based bargaining, instead of a union negotiating team and district team, both sides are joined as a common team.
"We think in almost all circumstances, a collaboration is better than a fallback to a point of law," Lannon said. "But when you reach disagreement around compensation issues, there are no laws that govern collaborative bargaining so you have to fall back to the legal side of the issue, which gives you a process and procedure that you move forward to try to get to some point of resolution. But it doesn't give us any more resources."
Rodriguez said the district and teachers have been able to work through some difficult issues with the collaboration and that they hope to continue working together for issues not related to pay and benefits.
"Over the last five years, despite the fact that we've had stagnant wages and actually decreasing wages, more work, more hours, the success rate of students in St. Lucie County has increased. The only thing that's not rising is our stagnant wages," Rodriguez said. "I know the district has the money, it's just a question of how they prioritize."
Teachers are paid according to their education levels and their years of service — called steps — and the raises that come with those step increases are normally negotiated each year.
However, because of the economy and funding cuts, Tim Bargeron, the district's assistant superintendent for business services, said the last time teachers received a step was in July 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year.
During the May 8 St. Lucie County School Board meeting, Angela Dietrich, an eighth-grade science teacher at Dan McCarty School, told the board how the years of not moving up on the salary schedule have affected her.
"I'm in my eighth year of teaching and I'm earning step 3 pay," Dietrich said. "I drive a 12-year-old car. If I get a vacation, it's from tax refund money, it's not because I can afford to save for one. I have to withdraw from my retirement from a previous employer just to make my bills. It's getting to the point where I can't afford to be a teacher."
Teaching is Dietrich's second career after 19 years working for an insurance company and she says it's a job she finds very fulfilling.
"I didn't get into teaching to make a lot of money, I knew that wasn't in the plan but I did expect to make a living wage and put money aside to take care of myself in my old age," Dietrich said in an interview last week. "I honestly can't think of anything else that I would rather do. But when it comes down to a survival issue, a choice has to be made."
Dietrich told the board she had decided to "work to the contract" in hopes that the board will show employees the money. This means no after-school tutoring, parent conferences, dances and any activity for which teachers aren't paid and isn't outlined in the contract.
"I can't do what I want to do and that isn't right. In a county where we tell our students that they can do whatever they want to do, we're telling them not to be a teacher," Dietrich said. "I'm going to work to the contract because in the end as we all have learned, you get what you pay for."
Rodriguez said teachers at some schools throughout the district are holding pickets in the morning before classes and she expects teachers to show up in force at future board meetings.
"No one's going in early and everyone's walking out at the same time, no one's staying late," Rodriguez said. "It's all born of the frustration that teachers feel in having no control over their profession."

There is a reason they are not on TV and others are. They had their chance and really didn't get over. It is as simple as that. They are not the money makers they are looking for. I mean you toss D Bryan and Kane together and the PTPs and you have better merchandising with them than you ever had with the USOs
i like the Uso's, they're fun to watch and have good energy, i have to wonder if they are being held back because of Rikishi's run with TNA.. dunno
I'm sure they're a nice couple of guys, but I've found every single aspect of their game to be thoroughly unremarkable. I honestly don't see them going on to accomplish much of anything of value in whatever's left of their WWE run.
A gimmick involving them intentionally packing on more weight as a means of honoring their heritage could be fun, though. I could actually see fans taking delight in them embracing letting themselves go. Like, they could get winded half-way through their battle-dance and just quit to double-fist bacon cheeseburgers instead. Fellow slobs and lard-asses would (here come the puns!) eat that shit up.
