UK Travel Deals & Discounts Hand Picked for you Daily FREE on App StoreOpen
Travelling to Paris has become so easy, it feels almost like a sister city. Transportation options include the Eurostar, ferry and travel by air. All are comparable in costs, but air travel is by far, the most convenient and comfortable. You will also arrive faster at your destination. Since it's conceivable to fly to Paris and return to London within a day, it's a practical destination for a weekend holiday, as well as the beginning point for an extended European vacation. This is a sister who speaks a foreign language however, and has a distinct and separate culture. Your holiday in Paris will be more enjoyable and tempt your return if you understand a little about what makes Parisians different as well as what makes the two cities similar.
London leads the world scene for the fashionable statement that is edgy and increasingly progressive. The eclectic tastes run from diverse definitions of casual wear to radical interpretations of the informally and formally dressed. Paris fashion is interpreted along more classical lines. Many of its establishments require slightly more formal attire than you might find at similar public places in London. You may feel the atmosphere is even a bit pretentious. Dress for both style and comfort and you will blend in, which will help you feel less like a tourist and more like regular visitor to Paris.
Paris has four seasons with temperatures very similar to London, but nearly always a least a few degrees warmer. Prepare your wardrobe accordingly. In the summer, prepare for very sticky heat. In the winter, pack all your normal winter gear, including hats, gloves, boots and coats. Always prepare for rain. It doesn't rain for extended periods, as it does in London, but Paris expects an average of eleven days of rain out of each month. Most of the rain comes suddenly, is delivered in torrents, than leaves quickly.
Most urban dwellers are used to a clock-driven world, with scheduled appointments, prompt service and deadlines for projects a part of our normal expectancies. Parisians tend to take the break-neck stride more calmly and do not seem to find waiting for services stressful.
Waiting for services is something you must accustom yourself to quickly. Parisians value their thirty-five hour work week as a statement of their values. They state they work to live not the other way around. You'll find them completely unperturbed while waiting for buses, food service or even for official business, which are all slow. The bureaucracy in Paris is famous for its slow pace, so factor in extra waiting time for all official procedures.
Parisians enjoy dawdling over their food. They also prefer their food is made from scratch. A luncheon with a Parisian may take a full hour before you are even finished with the appetisers. This slow unwinding throughout the day may be the reason you don't find many Parisians at the pubs. Most of Paris nightlife is tourist oriented, with Parisians frequently only some of the liveliest clubs, and finding most of their entertainment in theatres, cinema and private settings.
The costs of all public transportation lines are comparable with those in London, although the trains tend to be somewhat cheaper. The transit lines are very efficient, allowing you to explore any part of Paris easily, as well as access outlaying towns and villages. Marseilles is accessible through the Paris transit lines.
Most of the French are able to speak fluent English, and this is especially so in Paris. However, if you've learned to speak French, or know a few words, don't hesitate to practice the language. Even if you spoke the words incorrectly, the Parisian will at least appreciate your efforts. There is a general opinion that only the French can speak perfect French, so they will expect you to make mistakes.
Overall, Paris has somewhat a somewhat lower cost for living expenses. This includes foods, internet services, alcoholic beverages, cosmetics and cinema tickets, but the differences will not be noticed within the tourist areas. Hotels will be cheaper in the suburbs than in Central Paris, and parking spaces easier to find. Finding a parking space in Central Paris can be very difficult. You'll save both time and money by buying Metro tickets, and leaving your car parked at your hotel while you visit the attractions.
A two-day Paris Visite Transport Pass plus Paris Museum pass, at 56.65 euros (2014 prices) is cheaper than a Paris Pass, although the Paris Pass option includes other attractions, such as a sight-seeing bus, and is advantageous if you wish to see as much of Paris as possible in a very short time. Another option is the "Cityrama", a two-day hop on, hop off open tour that covers four different routes for 36 £. There is also the "Batobus", which is a river bus that will take you up and down the Seine, from the Eiffel Tower to the the quai de Montebello. The price is 18 £ per adult and has eight stops.
Be careful of web sites offering Paris tour passes as many of them will charge much more than if you wait until you arrive in Paris and purchase your passes directly from the source. Many of the Paris attractions have free entrance, including Norte Dame, the Louvre, and various other museums. There are also free concerts, especially in summer, so keep a good eye on Paris events.
Make your mid-day meal your largest meal of the day. While you can find many restaurants that offer meals for an average of twelve Euros, evening meals are more expensive, and may not be as generous in proportions.
If you would visit the local pubs, your drinks will be cheaper if you stand up at the bar than they will be if you order them from a table.
There are many ways to save money on your Paris holiday. By choosing a hotel in the suburbs and using public transportation for travelling into the Central, you'll cut your costs considerably. There are also a number of hostels for those on a strict budget, which appeal to students and veteran travellers. If you're hardy and enjoy the great outdoors, you can even go camping in Paris.
Paris is camper-friendly. Campsites are available at International de Maisons Laffitte, on an island on the Seine, at the Huttopia Versaille, located in the forest, just five minutes from Versailles, and on the outskirts of Paris.
Average costs range from 18- 20 £ for a tent site and 150 £ for a mobile home. Cabins are also available for around the same price as mobile home accommodations. Amenities usually include nearby shopping centres and restaurants, game rooms, play areas, Internet access and laundry facilities. Campgrounds are close to the Metro lines, making transportation easy, and the service providers are friendly. Campgrounds are not open year round, so research your targeted area well before bringing along your tent.

When we launched Dakota Rising "once a fellow – always a fellow" was a principle we hoped would evolve into an axiom and it has. The generosity and commitment of the Alumni to the Dakota Rising community speaks volumes for the power of the Fellowship. Many of the alumni have engaged more fully in the civic life of their communities. These Fellows volunteer their time to mentor the incoming class of Fellows and they are committed to sponsoring one of the $10,000 Fellowships. Dakota Rising is a community that depends on leadership. The Fellowship alumni are playing an active role in moving entrepreneurship forward in South Dakota.

Jim Meyer

Jim has always been a hands-on sort of guy. He spent his teen years building stuff and wrenched in a bike shop. In college, he joined the solar car race team and spent far more effort designing and building solar cars than he did on classes.

While there, he worked a bit on hybrid car technology and did his thesis on race car data acquisition. In 2006, he quit his real job and moved to Australia with his wife to train more and find inspiration. He was only there a few weeks before he really wanted a power meter, but didn't like the options. Jim realized that his background in bicycles, engineering and data was … Read More »

The Takeaway
Computers Play 'War Games' on Wall Street
In the 1983 film, "War Games," a military supercomputer with a personality brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Today, we're looking at last week's "Flash Crash," during which the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped just under 1,000 points in under an hour and then bounced nearly all the way back.
We pose a question to two financial experts: is it possible to protect our economy from a financial version of a War Games scenario? Joining us is Bill Brown, Law professor at Duke University and formerly the global co-head of listed derivatives at Morgan Stanley. We also turn to our friend Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for The New York Times.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Empire salesman visited our house and provided a quote. Price was a little higher than others but not enough to make a difference. We decided to just have carpet installed but changed our order to not replace the carpet on the steps. When installers arrived they had a different order to only install bedrooms and not our loft and hall. They did not have enough carpet and had to schedule another install the following Saturday. They called the following monday and said they would have to change to Sunday and I agreed. Received several emails confirming Saturday but I didnt care because if they happen to show on Saturday we would be fine. No show on Saturday, so I expected them to show on Sunday. I got up Sunday and broke the bed down as they asked and moved it out of the room. 10am comes around and so I call Empire myself and they tell me they are not installing because they did not recieve the carpet. They claim they tried to call but there are no missed calls. I am not happy with the service. Trust me when I tell you not to let them in your home. Home Depot or Lowes can do a better job.

Well besides what I described for the configuring prefetch on the client side, the broker side can be configured as well. By default, ActiveMQ will start to slow down producers when memory limits are being reached, as described here: http://activemq.apache.org/my-producer-blocks.html ActiveMQ limits itself to consuming 20mb of memory by default, not much if you're dealing with large messages or large amounts of messages. You should probably consider increasing this to more appropriately address your situation. This can be achieved in the activemq.xml configuration file using the memoryUsage element. See the default activemq.xml for some examples. Also bear in mind that this has a direct impact on the JVM memory, so you may need to tune that as well.

Hunted - Chapter ThreeMature
Chapter Three – Rachel
"I'm Bored" Seth whined from behind me, I just rolled my eyes and kept walking.
Twenty-Four hours of listening to Seth's supposed wit takes a lot out of a person. And I was still struggling to adjust to his new appearance, I'm guessing its what he looked like before he died, how he died is still a mystery to us. I think it was different from how the others zombies died. From the looks of the approaching road sign we were getting closer to a small town, which should prove fun.
Seth cocked his head to the side and looked behind us.
"What is it?" I asked, switching from looking at him to looking at the road. Then I began to hear a faint rumbling and soon enough a huge land-rover came towards us and stopped. The drivers door opened and out jumped a guy with messy blond hair and brown eyes. And round his waist he had two magnums and round his back was a classic barrel shotgun.
"You two need a quick ride through the town, should beat walking" He said with a easy grin. One that told me he hadn't seen a girl in a while. Sadly he was definitely not my type. And yes I am aware that with so few survivors I'm not in much of a position to be picky, but I can't help it. I've never been able to find a guy I really liked.
"Well, looks like if we join you, zombies won't be getting close" I said, gesturing to the gun on his back. Which caused his grin to widen to a worryingly manic one. Something told me this guy loved guns too much, and I could already sense Seth bristling at the sight of them. A lot of people must've tried to shoot him since he turned. I let out a small uncomfortable laugh to break the mini silence and jumped in the passenger seat. Seth hesitated then opened the back door and let out an annoyed grunt. I turned around to see what bothered him and saw a very big pile of guns on the floor of the car. Ranging from snipers to AK 47's. It even had a huge machine gun.
Wow, this guy was odd, Or well-prepared.
"So, you two got a name, or shall I just refer to you as hot girl and quiet guy?" He asked, reeving the engine to life. I forced a smile and caught Seth's expression which summed up what he thought of the joke – his middle finger directed at the guy helped too-.
"I'm Rachel, he's Seth, you?" I replied
"Name's Eddie, your friend back there isn't a big fan of people I guess?" Eddie said, having seen what Seth did in the rear-view mirror.
"You get used to him" I said, glaring at Seth in the mirror and mouthing "Be nice" to him.
It wasn't long till we reached the town, driving through the empty streets, we were all looking around, it was obvious from the smoke and glass littered floor that this town had suffered riots. Rubbish lay about the concrete, moving slightly in the wind, only a few shops and houses were untouched. Eddie stopped the car and we all climbed out.
"I'll go see if there's any supplies that can be salvaged" Eddie said, he waved towards a nearby shop.
"Okay, I guess we'll go-" I was interrupted by a high-pitched scream in the shop Eddie had motioned too. We all looked at each other for a split second before racing inside – well Eddie grabbed yet another gun before following -.
His hand covered mine and he dragged me out of the shops back door as I heard people rushing into the entrance, a female voice called out, but I couldn't do anything.
I knew him, he was one of the smart zombies that kept a close watch on every town entrance, they let people in, but try to leave and they try to eat you. My dad learnt that the hard way, but at least me and mum are still alive. And those people who heard my scream are the first I've seen of other survivors. I mean there were others in the town who had survived, but the smart ones got them.
I raised a foot and slammed down hard on his, he let out a harsh yell and I managed to break free, but it wasn't long until I heard him catching up. He yanked me backwards by my arm painfully, then let go. I didn't understand until I saw another guy pulling him away from me. The new guy easily knocked the zombie out. I heard yells and turned to see two others, the women from earlier and a guy who quickly rammed a bullet in the zombies skull.
"Erm, thanks" I said, looking at them each in turn.
"No problem, are you on your own or are there others?" The guy with the gun asked
"Just me and my mum are left, anyone else who was from this town are either dead, or undead" I said, looking down at the guy that used to teach little kids at the primary school. I wish I at least knew his name.
"Do you two wanna join us and get outta this place then?" he said, putting a new round in his shotgun.
"ha, your kidding right? The smart zombies have this place locked down, you can get in, but if you try and leave they all jump on you" I explained
"Wait, smart zombies?" gun guy said, confused.
"They exist" The women said with discomfort, one I noticed she shared with the guy that saved me.
"Look, my name's Case, you guys are welcome to stay with me and my mum till you figure your stuff out, we kinda took over the biggest house in town that wasn't completely destroyed" I said
"Guess we haven't got much choice, lets go" The women said, "By the way, I'm Rachel, the guy with the gun is Eddie and the guy you thanked is Seth" I nodded and led the way. Maybe these people will stay alive.

Almost done, Steve thinks, at least for version 2010, Tweaks definitely will be needed, but not a big deal, I don't think, Biggest tweak is how to append and save data, Integration with Google Spreadsheet would be pretty cool
Automation seems to be working fine. Load 2-d raw data added to mother program as well as the ability to look at the paths of any .dat file in a folder
Possible Tweaks to Convolution Program
Test on real data (doing this with Andy already)
Test on simulated data--using Larry's slick MT image generator -- this is exciting and probably very powerful for the paper
Comparing tracking data to known information from convolution program, Faux microtubules going in different paths (horizontal, vertical, sloped line, circle, some combo) at different speeds and different brightness and different sizes and background noise
Show actual data from Andy's videos
Microtubules and tracks from automation
I learned from the Hand et al. reference that ImageJ has a tracking plug-in called (MTrack2)
Write paper
Submit paper, Most likely PLoS ONE for refereed pub, Nature Precedings, UNM Institutional Repository
Code must be relatively clean but doesn't have to be too clean, As an example, The cleaning that Larry did for the tracking subVI helped a bunch and is sufficient
Compiled version will require a license to run, Can talk with Malloy to see if his brother (brother in law) can get us some special NI deal so people can run our code for free? Perhaps a license that expires?, 2/2/2010 Steve sent email to Malloy, Malloy told me whom to contact. Will contact once we have a camstudio thing to use as context, 3/7/2010, Composed email, but realized I don't have his address. Asked Kevin for address, Virtual machine possiblity (Deepak advice at #scio10), Also possibility of remotely logging in to our own server
Data posted on IR?, Test data (real and simulated), Meeting with Amy next week and will discuss this possibility
Create screen cast to demonstrate how to use, Storyboarding would help
Code to Possibly Make Pulbic, Mother Tracking Program, Automation Tracking, Convolution Program (?), This is no where near cleaned up
only take up part of the poster
Pictures, automated path picture is pretty sweet, diagram of code, data, frames with ROI around microtubule that is being tracked
If this was taking up more of the poster i would think about testing it with the convolution program but that might take some time to get running and I might not have it before San Fran

2010 Ford Focus Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value

Reliability Value
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
Go kart handling, go kart fit and finish.
By mitsu3kgto on
Vehicle2010 Ford Focus SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewI bought this car for a cheap fuel savvy commuter and it was just that.
I've had the car from new and now have 70,000 miles on it.
It has never broken down and I have averaged 30mpg during my ownership.
I drive this car extremely rough and demand a lot more out of it than it can really put up with, so for that it wins some points.
I bought this car knowing I wouldn't have it for life, I changed the oil every 10,000 miles.
The original brakes were terrible and vibrated from the beginning so I swapped them out, as with the tires that wore out at 20k and were god awful in the rain.
I slapped some expensive tires on and it made the car much better overall.
Best FeaturesThe premium sound with sync in this car is amazing. Sync can be glitchy at times but nothing unbearable. The handling in this car is so much fun. It's light weight and I have the manual so with some gear work it can be peppy. 30mpg no matter how hard I drove it. I did spend a tank being extremely cautious and pulled 38mpg highway, and that was closely drafting semi's at 65mph.
Worst FeaturesFactory brakes are awful. Factory tires are awful. Car squeaks and makes all kinds of noises over bumps. Poor fit and finish. My biggest gripe from day one in this car is the manual transmission. It was stiff when I first bought it and thought it would loosen up as I drove it. If you shift too quick it grinds, struggles finding the gears and after 70,000 miles I think it honestly comes down to a terrible clutch and master cylinder. When I start the car up in the cold I have to pump to clutch several times to get it into gear. And I have heard the throw out bearing on the clutch rattle at idle since 2000 miles on it. Low quality but you get what you pay for.

Drafting makes such a big difference it's a bit like cheating; not really indicative of real MPG. I do it and can see the pronounced difference in the MPG reading from the Ultragauge I have installed.Report it

Haha, I just thought all this time I was bad at driving stick! I'm not ruling that out, but I grind the gears all the time in mine, and I've had to pump the clutch in cold weather. Nice to see someone else have the same issues I do!Report it

Canna-Pet® Products
Canna-Pet® is NOT a pharmaceutical. It is a benign, organic hemp product that you can feed with confidence.
You do NOT have to make any adjustments to your current medications or supplements.
Canna-Pet® operates along completely separate biochemical pathways (the endocannabinoid system) from any products you currently use. Simply add Canna-Pet® alongside your existing regimen of products, and we expect your pet to feel the cumulative benefits quickly.
Canna-Pet® Capsules for Dogs
For dogs, Canna-Pet® Advanced and MaxCBD capsules should be given twice per day, with meals.
Canna-Pet® Capsules for Cats
Most cats can be maintained on one serving of Canna-Pet® Advanced or MaxCBD per day.
Advanced Capsules
Feeding Instructions
Open capsule and mix directly into your pet's regular food. Or, place the capsule into a pill pocket or treat. The goal is to get the entire content of each capsule to your pet – whatever works best.
If your pet isn't eating, and you are not comfortable feeding capsules directly, we suggest you use our MaxCBD Liquid product.
MaxCBD Liquid
How do liquid products compare to our existing Canna-Pet® products:
- Liquid products have more rapid effect. They are also metabolized rapidly, and should be fed 3-4X daily.
- If your pet is not eating reliably, and you are not comfortable feeding capsules, liquid is a terrific option.
MaxCBD Liquid Serving Details:
A 10ml container should last 15-30 days depending on the frequency used.
Start with 2-3 drops (0.1ml) at a time, 3-4 times per day
Increase as desired.
Put drops directly into your pet's mouth, ideally under the tongue.
Organic Canna-Biscuits for Dogs – Advanced Formula
Biscuits can be given anytime as an organic treat.
Recommended serving sizes:
- under 20lbs (9kg): 1 biscuit every 12 hours
- 21-95lbs (9.5-43kg): 2-3 biscuits every 12 hours
- over 95lbs (43kg): 4 biscuits every 12 hours
Organic Canna-Biscuits for Dogs – MaxCBD Formula
Biscuits can be given anytime as an organic treat.

Despite fielding a host of fancied runners, Martin Pipe never managed to win today's totepool Heroes Handicap Hurdle at Sandown. At the first attempt, son David went close when Whispered Secret ran Taranis to half a length last year and the man now in charge at Pond House can go one better this afternoon with Vodka Bleu.
Both Taranis and Whispered Secret were winning chasers running off lower hurdle marks. Vodka Bleu (2.35) fits the bill this time. Having won off a rating of 138 over fences at Cheltenham last month, he reverts to hurdles 12lb lower despite having to race from 5lb out of the weights.
Vodka Bleu's two wins as a novice hurdler do not compare with his chase form but there is every chance he will transfer the ability he has shown since fitted with blinkers on his last two starts. With just 10st on his back, Vodka Bleu will be at a big advantage in today's testing conditions.
Paul Nicholls, the trainer of Taranis, relies on The Tother One, who came home strongly to win by four lengths over this course and distance to complete a four-timer. He is 23lb higher but is unbeaten and there is no telling how good he is.
Sandown 2.05 With front runner Bywell Beau likely to ensure there is no dawdling, Straw Bear can get a good lead before coming through to step up on his second placing in this race a year ago. He only has Afsoun to worry about on all known form, and in last season's Kingwell Hurdle he was a seven-lengths winner from that rival, who has two ways of running.
Wetherby 2.20 While he keeps climbing the ratings without winning, Mohayer should get his head in front in a race a lot less competitive than at Cheltenham last week when he finished second to totesport Trophy favourite Five Dream.
Wetherby 2.50 Useful staying chaser Character Building is on a much lower mark over hurdles, but his stable is going through a quiet spell. Kealshore Lad was a long way clear of the rest when third at Warwick and looks a safer bet.
Doncaster 3.00 It looks significant that Tom Scudamore partners the novice Helen Wood rather than Pablo Du Charmil for David Pipe. However, conditions should be ideal for Howle Hill, who would have been a lot closer to Master Minded at Sandown but for a bad mistake two out. He has blinkers on to help his concentration.
Sandown 3.10 Lambourn is buzzing with favourable news about The Market Man, but Hobbs Hill sets a high standard, with his accurate jumping and front-running style tailor made for Sandown. He was too good for Silverburn and Lead On at Newbury and should confirm the form, although the latter may get closer.
Wetherby 3.25 Testing ground is clearly no problem for Abstract Art, who can follow up his five-lengths Huntingdon win.
Sandown 3.40 Shoddy jumping has held back Irish Raptor in his chasing career, but he has looked better in that department this season. A convincing winner at Cheltenham last month, he could still be well handicapped.
Ron Cox's tip of the day
Silver Prelude 3.20 Lingfield
While he may be flattered by his close second to Bonus in a conditions race here last time, Silver Prelude has got away with just a 6lb rise in the weights and he had looked progressive when landing handicaps previously. The drop back to five furlongs will suit Dean Ivory's speedy gelding and, from his low draw, he will be hard to peg back under Kirsty Milczarek, who rides this track so well.

Pierre Auguste Renoir: Artworks which are witnesses of a journey
Tags: Events, exhibition, exhibition in rome, Italy
He was one of the 19th century art genius, and now Pierre Auguste Renoir's artworks are in an exhibition in Rome until 29th June at the Complesso of the Vittoriano.
The exhibition is called "La maturità tra classico e moderno" is dedicated to Renoir's artistic production which followed his journey in Italy, by retracing this phase of his work through an itinerary made up of 150 pictures.
The painter arrived to Italy in autumn 1881, going from the North to the South of the country. Renoir's journey initially was just a study and work trip, to search inspiration, a motivating force to take himself out of the Impressionist movement.
Inspiration which swept the artist and which came from the vision and study of Italian classic artworks, proved by notes, sketches and drafts gathered in a sort of travel book which Renoir wrote during his stay in italy.
Therefore the exhibition tries to emphasize the importance of this Italian "awakening" of the artist, but also highlights the absolut variety of the artistic genius of Renoir, who during his long career used different tecniques to paint very different subjects.
The exhibition's artworks which come from prestigious private collections from all over the world, portrait young women in their simple acts and activities but full of sensuality, so…mothers, ladies and children, but also the more recent artworks dedicated to the landscapes.
Therefore the exhibition remarks on this artist's complexity, who gets lost between lights and colours, and who was swept up by inspiration which he had to follow and to adapt to his mood and to every period of his life.
Rome is really proud to host this great artist's artworks at Complesso del Vittoriano until 29th June, so…be numerous!

Jets light up home opener!
East Rutherford, NJ: The NY Jets lit up the Buffalo Bills 48-28 in their home opener at MetLife stadium, yesterday! They broke the franchise record for points scored on an opening day game, and QB Mark Sanchez looked sharp! Sanchez completed 19 of 27 passes for 266 yards; threw for three TDs and one pick! Tim Tebow was a non-factor, but the other team's preparation for the wildcat seems to open it up for Sanchez. Antonio Cromartie caught an interception and ran it back 40 yards for a TD, and Darrelle Revis (caught an interception) was a hot corner as well! Jets' WR Stephen Hill caught two TD passes, and WR Jeremy Kerley (pic above) caught one TD pass, and ran in a 68-yard punt return for a TD! Jets' WR Santonio Holmes had some big catches throughout the game as well. Sanchez showed some strength improvement in his arm, and the Jets stopped the Bills late rally dead in its tracks!
Denver Broncos' QB Peyton Manning became the third quarterback (of all-time) to reach the elite 400 TDs! Manning and the Bronco's rallied in the second half to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-19 last night! He connected with WR Demaryius Thomas on a 71-yard TD pass early in the third quarter for his 400th career TD! Manning threw his 401 career TD in the fourth quarter on a short pass to TE Jacob Tamme, which put away the Steelers late in the game! He became the quickest to reach the 400-TD milestone (209 games) ahead of Dan Marino (227 games) and Brett Favre (228 games)! Check out the 400-TD club chart below!

Bill Simmons expressed interest in the vacant Bucks general manager job in 2008, writing he could take over an NBA team. With the Bucks once again searching for a GM after dismissing John Hammond, Simmons is making his pitch again.
Except this time, it seems like it's fallen on deaf ears.
The "Book of Basketball" author tweeted Wednesday at the owner's daughter, Mallory Edens. She didn't seem impressed.
@BillSimmons . might need to see an updated pitch. A lot has changed since 2008 pic.twitter.com/iHgXYQl6i5
— Mallory Edens (@MedensEdens) May 24, 2017
Ouch. Shockingly, maybe Simmons' idea of trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Celtics for Jae Crowder and cash isn't the direction Milwaukee wants to go in.
LaVar Ball caught a lot of flak last week for his apparent sexist remarks to a female reporter. Now he's trying to make a buck off of them.
The patriarch of the Ball family got into a heated debate with FS1 host and former WEEI.com contributor Kristine Leahy, who asked him how many pairs he's sold of his Big Baller Brand shoes, which cost $495. In response, Ball told Leahy to "stay in yo lane." He also said he doesn't want to market to females, because Big Baller Brand "isn't for women."
"I don't look over there because she scares me. Leave me alone," he exclaimed.
Lavar Ball goes in on reporter part 1 pic.twitter.com/fA1SC7gN1O
— Frankie Vision (@Frankie_Vision) May 17, 2017
On Twitter Wednesday, Ball announced he was selling "Stay in Yo Lane" t-shirts. They sell for $50, whereas the shirts and tank-tops with gold lettering are priced at $60.
"STAY IN YO LANE!" Go to https://t.co/hqvuv4wISG to purchase pic.twitter.com/kmEEG3eTwd
— Lavar Ball (@Lavarbigballer) May 25, 2017
While Ball often comes across as a bombastic nincompoop, this is a business savvy decision. Unvarnished machismo appeals to a large swath of consumers. It only makes sense for Big Baller Brand to corner the market, given who's in charge of the company.
When David Price sped away from McCoy Stadium Wednesday in order to avoid the media following an atrocious rehab start, he didn't do it discretely. The left-handed hurler raced through the parking lot in a tank-like vehicle, turning heads along the way.
The truck in question hit the market in 2014, debuting at the Beijing Auto Show. Manufactured by U.S. Speciality Vehicles of Chino, Calif., the Rhino GX is modeled after the Ford 350 or Ford 450. In overseas markets, it's referred to as the "General Patton."
"I hear customers say, 'This is a man's car. You want to be a man? Get this car,'" Tim Tang, the owner of U.S. Speciality Vehicles, told the Wall Street Journal.
Here's David Price driving out of McCoy in his big tank pic.twitter.com/0Ls4dD6eJE
— Yianni Kourakis (@YianniKourakis) May 25, 2017
The 9,000-pound urban assault vehicle costs between $194,000 and $250,000 –– a pittance for Price, who makes $30 million per season. The Los Angeles Times gave the truck a favorable review in 2016, saying it's perfect for off-roading.
David Price's car is $229k. https://t.co/5hOOjVk79U
— Kirk and Callahan (@KirkAndCallahan) May 25, 2017
Autoweek, however, was less kind. The industry publication said nobody can "make a logical argument in favor of owning" the vehicle.
But Price may have use for it. According to Autoweek, the "General Patton" can "destroy enemies." If Price continues to struggle on the mound, Red Sox beat writers should watch their step.

I don't have an issue with recoil per se. What I do see is the pistol twisting to the left in my hands after a few rounds and I have to readjust my grip. I don't have overly large hands, but to be fair my usual carry is a Para 12.45, Nitehawg or on rare occasions my 14.45 The thicker grip just feels better, and I really don't care about the weight, just concealability.

Re: Idea:PSASBR Game of the Year Edition
Re: Idea:PSASBR Game of the Year Edition
I get the idea behind stacking everthing onto a disk but imo that should be quite some time after the game releases w maybe something extra for long time players. seriously, now i'm just seeing these as rewards for holding off on the game. mostly everything should be paid dlc or stuff you unlock. not just given because you waited for price to go down.
Re: Idea:PSASBR Game of the Year Edition[ Edited ]
If it does get there, it will probably be like the other game of the year edition games, just have all or some of the dlc. Nothing new

A FAST-PACED but friendly-spirited touch football match between police and members of Toowoomba's Indigenous community typified the positive atmosphere of the Carbal Family Fun Day.
The Indigenous Community team took out this year's Queensland Health Community Cup, receiving the winning trophy from Gold Coast Titans NRL stars Brad Tighe, Maurice Blair and Albert Kelly.
Carbal Medical Centre CEO Dr Harry Randhawa said holding the annual touch football match as part of the family fun day was a great way to celebrate Toowoomba's Indigenous community.
It was also an opportunity to pass on important health messages such as the negative effects of smoking tobacco.
"The big message is not smoking," Dr Randhawa said.
"It is a big contributor to chronic disease."
Good nutrition and exercise were also encouraged throughout the day.
Activities included art classes and face painting as well as hip hop dance workshops.
Ben Porter from dance workshop group Lyrical Equations said plenty of kids were eager to learn new skills.
"We've had some really good results with our young people being really enthused and engaged with our workshops," Mr Porter said.
Toowoomba mother-of-four Jasmin Lenane said her children had enjoyed all of the activities.
She watched on as they reached the front of a long queue to have their faces painted.
"It is just a good family day out," Miss Lenane said.

New Mexico is at cutting edge of change—climate change
New Mexico In Depth, October 14, 2015
As anyone can attest who survived the 1950s drought – or whose ancestors weathered long, dry spells in centuries past—drought is not unusual in New Mexico.
But unlike in the past, when changes in long-term, large-scale precipitation patterns drove drought in the Southwest, changes in temperature will drive drought in the future.
That's according to Dr. David Gutzler, a professor in the University of New Mexico Earth and Planetary Studies Department and one of the lead authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2013 Assessment Report.
As the region continues to warm, snowpack will continue to decrease, the snow line will move higher in elevation and farther north, and winter snows will start later and end earlier in the season. Evaporation from reservoirs will increase; water storage in reservoirs will decrease.
Under the current projections, according to Gutzler, the Rio Grande basin will see a 4 to 14 percent reduction in the amount of water in the Rio Grande and its tributaries in the 2030s, and an 8 to 29 percent reduction by the 2080s. There will be less water to go around for agriculture, for cities—for you and me; and more importantly, for our descendants.
The declines will be even greater in the Colorado River basin, which sits to our immediate west, and from which Albuquerque and Santa Fe receive some of their drinking water.
As the southwestern United States continues to warm, soil moisture will also decrease—on croplands, as well as in forests and grasslands.
Based on one of the more conservative models, Gutzler found that by the mid-21st century, summers in New Mexico will be much warmer than humans have ever experienced in the area.
But already, we can see the impacts of climate change across New Mexico.
In the Rio Grande Valley, more days of the year are frost free due to warmer weather; consequently, the growing season has lengthened by about a week since the 1960s. But that doesn't mean it's a better growing season or a boon to farmers and ranchers. That's because drought and uncertain water supplies limit crop and rangeland production.
Across the west, the fire season is longer than it was 30 years ago.
And scientists have determined that about 20 percent of the forests in New Mexico and Arizona have already "reset." That is, drought, high-intensity fires and insect infestations have eliminated large swaths of conifer forests—landscapes that are now repopulating with grasses and shrubs.
If that's not enough, consider how different our state may someday smell. Our mountains are infused with the warm vanilla of ponderosa pines and cedar has long burned within our hearths.
Climate change is obviously an issue that New Mexicans need to better understand. That's in large part because it isn't just an environmental issue. The warming climate affects the economy, public health, traditional cultures, education, hunting and recreation, infrastructure, demographics, wildlife, and even how resources may be allocated to cities and rural areas. It will change where we build our homes, when we plant our gardens, and how we construct our public buildings and prisons.
For more than a decade, I've reported on the science of climate change, the physical impacts of warming and state and federal policies. During that time, the science has solidified. Yet, both Congress and the New Mexico State Legislature—under the leadership of Democrats and Republicans—have neglected to take substantive action on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions or adapting to changes in the planet's climatic conditions. And with extraordinarily few exceptions, businesses are not talking about or planning for New Mexico's warmer, drier future.
With this new project at New Mexico In Depth, I'll be sorting through the science and the policy. And trying to figure out what is—and what is not—happening on the ground right here in New Mexico.
I know how difficult it is to change habits, alter trends and revamp the policies and practices that have led to increased greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. I drive a gas-guzzling truck, my house is heated with natural gas and my electricity comes from a coal-fired power plant. Water pours out of my tap after being pumped from an aquifer or pulled from the Rio Grande. I travel on airplanes.
This project will be a journey. And I want all of you along with me. In fact, I need all of you along with me, asking questions, sharing your observations, and initiating new conversations.
Because, fellow New Mexicans, we're all in this together.

We all enjoy a good stretch, but why? I was watching my baby daughter the other day and she was busy stretching her arms too. Dogs do the same. So I wonder how this is wired up in the nervous system?Chris
You Are very welcome How are you enjoying the forum ? Have you found everything satisfactory??sorry for the late reply karen,I am actually very much enjoying the forum, to be honest with exams coming up, in college, we dotn get a good chance of sitting down and discussing scientific issues and having the forum easily accessible is just what I need to make my brain think throughout the day
