If you're looking to visit Dallas on a tight budget, timing is everything. Specifically, the Dallas Cowboys rejuvenate the city and bring many visitors – as well as higher hotel prices – through the months of September through December.
If you aren't interested in football, it's easy to avoid in-town game days. Just be sure to consider the weather. June through August brings stifling summer heat waves, as well as a handful of great summer festivals such as the Taste of Dallas, so plan ahead if you want the best prices. January through late March is the rainy season, so hotel prices are lower, making this a good time to visit on tight budgets. Many hotels often have last-minute specials during this season, in the event you're planning a spur-of-the-moment getaway.
Dallas has two major airports that you should be aware of. Love Field is an airport closer to downtown, but with more limited flight options; almost all flights here are on Southwest Airlines, with a few offerings from United and Delta. All other flights route through Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW), a sprawling complex that is now the world's third-busiest airport. DFW is served by most airlines, particularly American Airlines; low-cost carriers Spirit Airlines and Sun Country Airlines also depart for DFW regularly.
Without question, traveling in Dallas requires a car, as the city's rapid transit network (often just referred to as "DART") only runs along major commuter areas. Traffic in Dallas is quite dense; between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., it's best to relax in a café with a coffee or glass of wine, rather than fight your way along the freeways.
Dallas is the ninth-largest city in the U.S. Despite all this urban sprawl, most travelers prefer to stay centrally in downtown or the West End district, and many of the most popular attractions are here. Unfortunately, most of these hotels are more expensive than those in outer neighborhoods; for discount hotels with an easy drive to downtown, look near Love Field. If you want to see how your options compare between neighborhoods, chains like Holiday Inn, La Quinta, and Hawthorn Suites have multiple locations throughout the metro area that make price shopping easy.
For downtown sightseeing, the city has a unique Segway tour. Not everything downtown is expensive; the Dallas Museum of Art is free and has a variety of collections to suit everyone's interest. Before you leave town, you'll want to have an evening cocktail at the observation deck at Reunion Tower; it was recently renovated and features 360-degree views of Dallas's impressive skyline.
Just adjacent to downtown is Dallas's West End neighborhood. Here you'll find the infamous Sixth Floor Museum, which explores the assassination of President Kennedy that took place here. Despite this somber memorial, the rest of the West End is a party; streets are lined with towering hotels, swanky cocktail bars, and many shops and malls.
Many foodies come to Dallas just to eat – the city's restaurants often are as famous as iconic establishments in Las Vegas or New York. Tex-Mex is one of the most popular cuisines and deserves its own mention; do some tasting and see which brand or chain you like the best: Uncle Julio's, Pepe's and Mito's, or one of the smaller independent taco restaurants that can be found in almost every neighborhood across the city. Don't forget to celebrate your Dallas experience with a margarita – it's a must when in the Big D.
Taking time to explore away from downtown Dallas can provide travelers with budget-friendly adventures and highlight the diversity the city has to offer. Deep Ellum is a neighborhood filled with shoppers exploring discount vintage stores and edgy modern boutiques. At happy hour, shoppers head for cocktail bars and lower-key establishments.
Irving/Las Colinas is the suburb where DFW airport is located, but many Dallas locals say this is the place to go for the best shopping on a budget. On a hot or rainy day, you'll also appreciate the many movie theaters in Irving.
Just around the corner in Arlington is a hub of activity. For families and adrenaline-seekers, you'll find the Six Flags over Texas Amusement Park – search online for discount tickets to book ahead. Also in Arlington are Dallas's major sports hubs, the Cowboys Stadium as well as The Ballpark, where the Texas Rangers baseball team plays.
Fort Worth is a city in itself, despite the fact that urban sprawl connects it directly to Dallas. Locals call the many cities that interconnect between Dallas and Fort Worth "the Metroplex." Despite the lack of a formal border, you will not have any trouble knowing when you've reached Forth Worth proper, as cowboy culture is alive and well in this city. It doesn't want to forget its heritage, as opposed to the future-facing Dallas.
The iconic Stockyards area near downtown Fort Worth highlights the history of the Wild West here in Texas and is a free, must-see attraction. Follow up your visit with a tour of the Forth Worth Cultural District, where you'll find the rest of the best of this city-in-a-city: a top-notch botanical garden, zoo, and numerous museums.
Looking for luxury on the cheap? Dallas loves glitz and glam, but that doesn't mean you have to pay full retail. The larger hotels in Dallas – such as the Hyatt Regency, Omni, or Hilton Anole – often have specials and discount rooms available, particularly on nights when there aren't major conventions or sporting events in town. This is where booking ahead plays to your advantage. However, if you're planning a last-minute getaway to Dallas, the opposite is true – the large hotels often put discounts back out when they realize too many rooms are going empty.
Considering a hotel alternative like Airbnb? You can find savings here, but most listings are for shared rooms or spare bedrooms, and you will not be in the downtown area. In many cases, hotels are comparable on price but offer more amenities; it just depends on what kind of experience you are looking for.
The Visit Dallas tourism website has a full listing of every major attraction in Dallas, in addition to themed itineraries to help you plan your trip, such as sports weekends, history adventures, or foodie guides.
For arts and culture events, Arts+Culture Magazine Texas website features comprehensive coverage of almost every music, dance, art, and theater event across North Texas. Much of its content is available online if you can't find a print copy.
D Magazine is another useful publication for catching up on the latest openings and happenings. Focused exclusively on Dallas, the magazine will lead you to all the best fashion houses, housewares boutiques, restaurants, and up-to-date nightlife suggestions.

Brooks Brothers invented the button-down collar shirt. The style was later made famous in Europe by Mr Gianni Agnelli, who insisted on Brooks Brothers shirts, and often wore them with the collar buttons undone. This shirt is another Brooks Brothers innovation: in 1953 the label launched its first wash-and-wear dress shirt
Single-breasted, with two buttons engraved with the Brooks Brothers' emblem, a single rear vent and full lining, this wool blazer is timelessly stylish. The full-canvas construction, with hand-sewn finishing, ensures that the jacket will mould itself to the wearer's body over time and should not wrinkle.
The tie is made in the US with silk woven in England, from a supplier used since 1908. The striped rep tie, originally associated with universities and regiments in the UK, was introduced to the US by Brooks Brothers in the 1920s, with the direction of the stripes reversed. It has since become synonymous with East Coast preppy style
Brooks Brothers is renowned for its timeless style and superior quality, and has made uniforms for senior US military officers since 1846. The firm supports many charities, and in 2007 launched its more fashion-forward range, Black Fleece, designed by Mr Thom Browne, which is also stocked on MR PORTER
Brooks Brothers has been a US style institution since 1818, when Mr Henry Sands Brooks established the venerable outfitters on the junction of Catherine Street and Cherry Street in New York City, not far from where the Brooklyn Bridge now stands. Today, the brand's Manhattan home is on Madison Avenue, but little has changed over the past 190 years by way of the superior quality and innovative spirit which initially made Brooks Brothers famous. The founder's guiding principle, "to make and deal only in merchandise of the finest quality, to sell it at a fair profit and to deal with people who seek and appreciate such merchandise", still rings true today.
American presidents from President Abraham Lincoln through to President Barack Obama, movie stars including Mr Cary Grant and Mr Clark Gable, and countless other men of style and substance have been dressed by Brooks Brothers, while the brand also lays claim to revolutionising men's style twice. The first revolution was in 1845 when Brooks Brothers introduced
ready-to-wear suits in America (which were popular with California gold rush prospectors, unable to wait for a tailor), pioneering the present day "off the rail" retail concept. The second revolution came in 1896, with the invention of the button-down collar shirt. The founder's grandson, Mr John E Brooks, had travelled to England and observed how polo players pinned their collars down to keep them from flapping during matches. Inspired by this, he developed Brooks Brothers' signature Polo shirt, which ushered in the end of the previous practice of men buying their shirts and collars separately. The loyalty of Brooks Brothers' customers is near legendary, with many becoming devoted for life at a young age. Brooks Brothers has dressed five generations of the Morgans, including JP himself, who was served by the same sales assistant from the time he got his first suit in the boys' department until old age. Indeed, it is not uncommon for the brand's staff to remain loyal for many years too: one craftsman in the Massachusetts tailoring workshop has been expertly hand-sewing the armholes of jackets for more than 30 years.

The Clippers maintained NBA bragging rights in Los Angeles by beating their co-tenants, the Lakers, surviving a last quarter comeback to win 107-102 on Friday.
Other teams to suffer disappointing home-court results were Miami, beaten by Chicago, and Memphis, who were defeated by Portland. The NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder kept on rolling though, downing Philadelphia.
The Clippers led all the way against the Lakers, with Chris Paul having 30 points and 13 assists and Blake Griffin adding 24 points, but the Lakers stayed right in it.
Kobe Bryant scored 38 points and carried the Lakers in the fourth quarter when they closed to 99-97 with one minute, 29 seconds left.
However, Paul scored the Clippers' final eight points to seal the victory and move a full 10 games above their more-famous city rivals.
"It's a big win because it's a division game," Paul told reporters after the game.
"That was ugly down the stretch and it was all my fault. We had some terrible possessions [late] and made it interesting for the fans," he said.
The Chicago Bulls became only the third visiting team to win at Miami this season, dominating the boards and beating the Heat 96-89, with Carlos Boozer scoring 27 points.
Chicago outrebounded Miami 48-28. The Bulls had 19 offensive rebounds to four for the Heat.
Miami's LeBron James scored 30 points, extending his streaks of scoring at least 20 points to 31 consecutive games this season, and 52 games in a row overall when including last year's playoffs.
Oklahoma City beat the Philadelphia 76ers 109-85 to keep their nose ahead of the Clippers in percentage terms for overall top spot in the standings.
Russell Westbrook scored 27 points, Kevin Durant added 26 for the Thunder, who made eight of their first 10 3-point attempts in the second half to break open the game.
Nick Young's 21 points led Philadelphia, playing their seventh of eight straight road games.
The Portland Trail Blazers edged the Memphis Grizzlies 86-84 in a contest that saw the scores tied nine times and 21 lead changes.
Wesley Matthews scored 21 points and J.J. Hickson added 19 points and 11 rebounds for Portland, who only hung on when Rudy Gay's jump shot from near the top of the key at the buzzer was off the mark.
Marreese Speights had a season-high 22 points and 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies in place of Zach Randolph, who missed the game with illness.
The Boston Celtics ended a four-game skid by beating the Indiana Pacers 94-75, with Kevin Garnett scoring 18 points before he was ejected for a flagrant foul in the fourth quarter.
Rajon Rondo added 18 points, seven assists and five rebounds for Boston, who took control with a 17-3 run in the second quarter.
Tyler Hansbrough scored 19 points for the Central Division-leading Pacers, who had won six of seven.
The Detroit Pistons won their fourth on the trot, edging the Atlanta Hawks 85-84.
The Hawks, who trailed by as many as 19, had the ball in the final seconds, but Andre Drummond blocked Lou Williams' jumper at the buzzer to preserve Detroit's win.
Austin Daye had a season-best 20 points for the Pistons, who got 41 points from their bench.
Josh Smith had 20 points for Atlanta.
Utah's Al Jefferson scored 21 points and Paul Millsap added 19 to lead the Jazz past the slumping Phoenix Suns 87-80.
The Sacramento Kings won back-to-back road games thanks to a 105-96 victory at the Toronto Raptors, with DeMarcus Cousins scoring a season-high 31 points, matching his career high with 20 rebounds.

The fifth Canadian RV and Camping Convention will take place Nov. 5-8 at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia.
The Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of Canada (RVDA of Canada) and the British Columbia Lodging and Campgrounds Association (BCLCA) sponsor the biennial event.
Approximately 300 people representing Canadian RV dealerships, manufacturers and campgrounds are expected to attend the event, which features workshops, a trade show, campground tours and nightly entertainment.
"We always have fun at these conventions," said Louise Morel, executive director of the convention organizing committee. "Unlike some conventions where attendees 'spread out' after hours, this group stays together. Everybody is there, together, 24/7. It makes it more intimate. You get to meet people and socialize with them. It's a good time to talk with dealers and campground owners from other parts of the country. They really do learn from each other."
Seldom has that need to network been more important than this year, following the economic downturn, which though not as dramatic in Canada as in the U.S., has still been felt by many in the industry.
"It's been a tough economic time for everybody," Morel said. "We are more focused on regrouping and looking toward the future as everybody is."
There are bright spots.
"From what I've heard, campgrounds have done very well," she said, noting that, like in the U.S., many Canadian campers have chosen to stay closer to home. "Most of the campgrounds I've talked to were sold out most of the season, even though the weather didn't cooperate, especially in the East."
Meanwhile, RV manufacturing is down in Canada this year, and dealer sales have been spotty, again, depending upon the economic prosperity of a given province, she said.
Still, as of early October, 80% of the RV dealers who attended the last national convention, in 2007 in Ottawa, Ontario, have registered for this year's convention, Morel said, which she considers to be a good sign for the future.
Organizers have lined up five keynote speakers for the event. They are:
- Jim Carroll, international futurist, trends and innovation expert and author of "Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast" and "What I Learned From Frogs in Texas: Saving Your Skin with Forward Thinking Innovation."
- Michael Campbell, British Columbia's most respected business analyst. He is best known as the host of Canada's top-rated business show — "Money Talks" — heard across the country on the Corus Radio Network. Each week Campbell and his guests track financial trends to help listeners find ways to maximize their investments.
- Peter C. Yesawich, chairman and CEO of Ypartnership, America's leading marketing, advertising and public relations agency serving travel, leisure, hospitality and entertainment clients. The agency represents clients in every category of the travel industry through seven offices across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe. The firm's Research & Brand Strategy Group is regarded as one of the most respected sources of insights into the emerging travel habits, preferences and intentions of North Americans.
- Michael Vickers, popular speaker, entrepreneur, educator and author. His dynamic, humorous and insightful sessions coach thousands of professionals to grow individual and organizational performance. His success is completely built on his personal experience. A consummate entrepreneur, he is a graduate of his own franchised retailing enterprise, a manufacturing and distribution company and a highly successful publishing venture.
- Rick Antonson, president & CEO of Tourism Vancouver, British Columbia, which was very instrumental in procuring the winning bid for the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver. He knows first hand how ideas are born and then how partnerships develop to take a concept from just a dream to reality.
Five Professional Workshops
In addition, professional workshops lined up are:
- On the topic of "Trends, Economic Value and Future Opportunities of the RV and Camping Industry," presenters are Joss Penny, BCLCA executive director; Michelle Carr, manager of Outdoor Sector Development, British Columbia Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts; and Chris Bower, general manager, NK'MIP RV Park, Osoyoos, British Columbia.
- Randy Sobel, Sobel & Associates, a marketing, training and consulting company to the automotive retail sales industry, will present two workshops, "How to Increase your Profits by $1,000.00 per Sale! (Changing times require changing techniques)" and "New Product Selection Techniques: Manage Inventory and Increase Gross Profit!"
- Ted Davis, vice president of product development for DealerTrack Canada, will speak on the topic "Using Technology Solutions to Increase Efficiency and Profitability in Your Dealership."
- Will Slattery will speaker on the topic "IntensiFI'… is all about F&I."
Campground Tours Offered
Conventioneers will have two opportunities to attend campground tours this year.
The first tour begins before the convention. From Nov. 3-4, participants will visit four British Columbia campgrounds — Fort Camping at Fort Langley, Burnaby RV Park in Burnaby, Riverside RV Resort and Campground in Whistler and Living Forest Oceanside RV & Campground in Nanaimo. The fee of $399 plus tax includes travel, lodging and meals.
The second tour is a free, all-day event (8:15 a.m. to 4 p.m.) on Nov. 5 and will be a visit to Oceanside RV Park in Saanichton.
The campground tours have been part of the convention since the inaugural event, in 2001 in Quebec City, Morel said.
Not only campground operators, but also industry suppliers and dealers attend the tours, Morel noted, as it affords everyone a chance to see campground operations in other provinces.
20-plus Vendors at Trade Show
The trade show, featuring more than a score of industry vendors, is scheduled for Nov. 6-7 in the Victoria Conference Center, which adjoins the hotel.
Besides Thursday's all-day campground tour, nightly entertainment includes:
- Thursday, 6 to 8 p.m., opening reception.
- Friday 5 to 10 p.m., cruise in Victoria's inner harbor aboard the 135-foot Queen of Diamonds. Dinner will be served aboard the elegant cruise ship while music and a casino will keep passengers busy as they glide past the sparkling lights of Victoria.
- Saturday, dinner with entertainment by The Timebenders show band.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - James Nunnally scored 24 points, Orlando Johnson added 21 and UC Santa Barbara parlayed an 18-0 run midway through the first half to take control of a close game en route to an 89-56 win over visiting Santa Clara on Tuesday night.
Santa Clara (1-1) took a 17-14 lead on a steal and breakaway slam dunk by Niyi Harrison, but that's when the Gauchos (2-0) took control. A pair of free throws by Kyle Boswell and then a free throw line jumper by Johnson gave them an 18-17 lead and they never trailed again. Nunnally added five points and Alan Williams added four during the game-changing run.
"We turned things around on the offensive end, when we went inside and then when we raised our level defensively," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "We really started attacking them on both ends of the court. I thought we showed great energy."
By the time the dust settled, Santa Barbara had a 32-17 lead. By halftime, the Gauchos expanded the lead to 42-24. The Broncos closed within 12 on two occasions in the second half, but could never get closer.
"When the second half started, we reverted a little bit defensively, but we were able to make shots and that helped us hold our ground," Williams said. "Eventually, we started to pick-it-up again defensively and we were able to build our lead.
It was a lead that expanded to as many as 36 points (85-49) and by the end, the 33-point win was the biggest margin of victory for a Williams-led UCSB team and it equaled the largest since Dec. 19, 1992 when the Gauchos thrashed St. Mary's, 79-37.
Santa Barbara dominated the boards, outrebounding Santa Clara 47-31, and that was a statistic that Williams was very pleased with.
"When you look at the numbers and see that kind of advantage on the glass, you've got to be very happy," he said. "Obviously we rebounded real well and most everyone went hard to the glass.
The Broncos were also held to a dismal 32.8% from the field, while UCSB made 29-of-61 shots, 47.5%. Also, for the second straight game, the Gauchos took good care of the ball, committing just 10 turnovers to go with 17 assists. In the season opening win over Chapman, they had just seven turnovers.
Boswell scored a career-high 12 points and Jaimé Serna added 10 to give UCSB four players in double-figures. Sophomore point guard Nate Garth was also solid as he finished with seven points, five assists and five rebounds. Greg Somogyi added five blocked shots.
The Broncos were led by Harrison who had 15 points while Kevin Foster, one of the best guards on the West Coast, had 12 points, but he made just 3-of-13 shots overall and 1-of-8 from three-point range.
The Gauchos remain at home for their next four games with a crosstown matchup against Westmont College on Friday, Nov. 18. The game will tip-off at 7:00 p.m. in the Thunderdome.

Yes, the above is a "trailer" for Opus, a $100 million "state of the art dream home" currently for sale in Los Angeles. We "wanted to do something really high art," a spokesperson for the home told LAist in reference to the short film. The house has Roberto Cavalli flooring, a 15-seat curved screen theater with JBL Synthesis Audio, two massive bars—one of which has a "Winestation" that preserves and dispenses glasses with the exact amount and temperature desired—a gourmet show kitchen with an iPad-controlled coffee machine, Longhi doors in suede and embossed leather, and a separate catering/event kitchen.
I imagine that "O" would be melted down and re-cast into a "JK", though. Even the writer alluded to it. Given all the half-naked women, I didn't bother to watch the video... the description was enough. But I'm sure Josef has it on a loop.
And just for the record, I really, really, really covet that "winestation" thing. How have I lived so long without one of those?

Nov. 28, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The New England Football Conference released its 2005 postseason awards and MIT cashed in after an energizing campaign. The Engineers boasted four All-Conference selections, while top honors went to Offensive Rookie of the Year, Rick Mancuso, and Hal Chalmers Scholar-Athlete Award winner, Tom Kilpatrick.
Mancuso's first season behind center was the best ever for an MIT quarterback. Despite playing in just seven games, he set Institute records for completions (135) and attempts (282), while tossing for an MIT season-record 1,587 yards. After earning a reputation for a grinding offense, head coach Dwight Smith led one of the league's most explosive offenses and each week provided an opportunity for Tech to display its aerial circus.
As a result, Mancuso's top two wideouts also enjoyed memorable campaigns as the most prolific receiving tandem in MIT lore. Rookie Kevin Vogelsang led the team with 54 catches and 700 yards en route to All-Conference Honorable Mention honors, while Second-Team All-Conference pick, Tom Kilpatrick, closed out a spectacular career with 45 catches and 606 yards en route to program records in both categories (catches - 146; yards - 2,182).
Marking the first time that the Cardinal and Gray ever featured two receivers with at least 40 catches in the same year, Kilpatrick picked up additional accolades as the Hal Chalmers Memorial Award winner, given to the league's top scholar-athlete. Kilpatrick is just the third MIT player to ever win the award, joining defensive standout Nik Cozy (1999) and tight end Keith Battocchi (2002).
David Blau, Brennan Sherry and Matt Ramirez earned spots on the league's Second Team Defense, while linebacker Phil Zakielarz secured All-Conoference Honorable Mention honors.
In addition to the NEFC plaudits, Kilpatrick and Blau were recognized for their outstanding work on the field and in the classroom, and both players have been named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-America All-District Team. Kilpatrick was a First-Team selection on the national ballot in 2003.

I'm sure you have heard this statement from one source or another. I'm debating with a theist who feels that 'knowing in my heart' gives him an accurate view of the universe. I was trying to think of a question that could not be answered that way. I'm trying to avoid complex mathematical equations or very deep scientific problems. Something simple but which could only be answered by evidence, a guess would get it wrong.
Any ideas?
Views: 442
It's not just his heart that matters. What he feels in his heart cannot be shared, yet because he feels it, he thinks that everyone else can. Once again, we run headlong into the difference between objective and subjective ... and your theist friend is in for one hell of a disappointment.
You could explain that "knowing in your heart" is really just simply what is known as a "hunch". Hunches very often turn out false, but that gut feeling is the same, imo, as those that refuse to really think into the whole religion thing. It is no more that a hunch imo.
I would think that a person actually concerned, and in belief, would at least research their belief. Delusion, and fear, stop many religious people in their tracks. You would think that if you "actually" believed in some sort of religious dogma, that it would be your lifes mission to find out all the facts?
You know, to most Atheists this is a common sense, simple fact of life, but you would be amazed at how many "true believers" have not even bothered to even read their bible (or koran, whatever). I have a very intelegent, successful brother in law that goes to baptist church. Over beers on night I asked him how he could believe such as this. His honest reply was "I just don't want to think about it, to be honest, I don't question it. My parents, and my grand parents, everyone I am related to has always had faith, and to be honest?.. That's good enough for me."
An amazingly blind statement from a someone with a PHD. I find it absurd. IF you buy into religion, then you must somewhere in your mind realize that it does imply a longer reality then this life,(eternity) thus making it by default, the most paramount, most important concern in your existence.
Some people, like him, don't want to make waves in their life, or even in their own mind. It is far easier, and they always have the "what do I have to loose" by believing, carefree attitude.
Religion is in fact delusion, imo, and harmful overall. But a lot of religious folks simply do not see that, not because they are stupid, but because the delusion itself is so strong, inherited, that the pain of deviating from it, and the alienation, is simply not worth it. Even if it is only subconscious, it does seem to prevent intelligent people from looking at the obvious.
It may be useful just to ask what they mean by the phrase, just to gain some insight into what they're thinking. Ask them what this 'feeling' really is, and how they distinguish it from regular feelings and intuitions. How do they determine if they should trust it?
Ask him if he believes that people who "know in their hearts" that they are Napoleon are really Napoleon, or who know in their hearts that we didn't land on the moon are right, or iwho know in their hearts that the earth is flat are right, or who know in their hearts that vaccines don't work are right. If he pooh poohs these, then ask him why his knowing in this heart about god is any different.
Excellent tactic!
Thanks for the tip on Zooey Deschanel, never heard of her before.
I guess you heard that old joke about the boy who goes to confession and tells the priest he had illicit relations with a girl.
The priest asks for the girl's name but the boy refuses. The priest begins to ask if it was Judy Smith, the boy says no, he asks if it was Sherry Johnson, again no, then finally the priest asks if the girl was Helen Miller, a final no from the boy. The priest tells him to say 10 hail marys as penance.
When the boy leaves his best friend asks him what he got. The boy answers "10 hail marys and 3 more girls to see".
Yeah Zooey is a little hottie! For the longest time I thought she was Katy Perry lol!
You know that Aristotle also thought that the universe can be understood simply by contemplation. Aristotle can be excused for this because he did not possibly know what all universe. No one today can have the benifit of this ignorance. Secondly, we today know that we do not 'know' in our heart, the thinking and knowing is all in the head.
If he thinks that he can get a view of universe, then let him describe it and then show him what all the universe is about.

Lumiere: A Conversation Between Jean Renoir and Henri Langlois
Excerpted and translated from the French by Bill Krohn
This translation, including a preface by Krohn, originally appeared in the Summer 2006 edition of the online political journal THE NOVEMBER 3RD CLUB. It is presented here with an embedded youtube of the entire film with Spanish subtitles. Note that the date of this dialogue is 1968, when street shots, whether like or unlike Lumiere's, were by historical necessity regaining their primacy [the May/June demonstrations and strikes] and "recreating the period" had many meanings. For Philippe Garrel, whose films Langlois played every year on Christmas day, filming the streets in '68 meant not filming the streets!
The program was assembled by New Wave director Eric Rohmer, who may be one of the two questioners we never see. What follows are quotes pulled or summarized from the program, with some indication of what films Rohmer chose to illustrate the comments. With only one exception, the comments are not laid over the films, which appear to have been shown in their entirety, without music, of course. This three-way conversation (including Rohmer's film selections) is also a reminder of why the French have a special place in the history and present of the art of film. ------- Bill Krohn
Jean Renoir : I don't feel that the cinematograph was just a way of putting the present in a box for the future. There is in these films a recreation of the atmosphere of the period that is exactly what we love today in Godard.
When we look at the very first films, they're almost all extraordinary. You feel like using the word "genius." But these cameramen weren't geniuses — they were helped by the fact that technique was still difficult.
I find more fantasy in certain Lumiere films than in paintings that aspire to fantasy. It's the creation of a world that exists in reality, but also of a world that exists in the imaginations of Theodore Rousseau or the Lumiere cameramen. The angle chosen by the cameraman — a humble servant of reality — is the work of his unconscious talent. Many great works of art are the result of the unconscious. I would even say that when a film we've made works, it's in spite of us.
[After a questioner mentions a comic strip that Lumiere imitated in "L'arroseur arose," adding that it is cut like a film would be today:]
That kind of cutting was easy to do with pen and ink, but not with a camera. That's what I mean when I say that the fact that the technique was difficult worked to their advantage. Because the cameraman can't cut, he has to compose more carefully.
Henri Langois : "As if by chance" a film begins with a tramway passing and ends when another one passes, close to the camera. In between you see the movement of people in the street. The cameraman saw that this set-up would give him a series of shots: You have a close-up, a long-shot and a medium shot and a movement linking them. That's not chance — it's science.
*Film: Liverpool - Church Street*
There was a big difference between Lumiere and the others at this period. There's nothing more boring on film than the inauguration of a monument, kings, queens and so on. The great thing about Lumiere is that he didn't show History — he showed Life. The force of his films is in the atmosphere of life, the ambience of life, the philosophy of the period — everything is there. When you see two little girls playing in the street, on the Champs-Elysee, you think of Proust, of Renoir.
*Film: Champs-Elysee*
Monet had painted the Gare St-Lazare before Lumiere filmed it. What you are seeing in Lumiere's film is the baton being passed from painting to film. The whole history of art from the mid-nineteenth century to the late nineteenth century leads up to Lumiere. Impressionist painting, everything that was greatest, newest in that period was absorbed by Lumiere's films. That's what gives them the quality of life. What Lumiere looked for was what is imponderable in life.
*Films: Le Bassin des Tulleries, Retour d'une promenade en mer*
[HL answering a question about improvisation and preparation in the Lumiere films:] The Lumiere cameramen when they got to a city would look for what would be best to film. They'd pick the spot, choose the angle. After that came improvisation. They didn't do it mathematically - they felt it in their hearts.
*Film: Milan - Place du Dome*
Painting describes society as it sees itself, but with Lumiere's films, for the first time we see it as it is. When I look at these films I'm often appalled. What is out of fashion in them? The bourgeoisie. What is modern? The people. Because of the evolution of society, we are more like them than like the bourgeoisie of the period, we feel closer to them.
*Films: Leaving in a car, Carpenters, Cultivation of the earth*
When a painter paints women wearing the fashions of the era, he paints them as they are supposed to fit and look. When Lumiere films them, we see what they really looked like.
*Films: Debarquement, Wedding party entering a church*
What about New York City in the Lumiere films? It isn't the city we see in fiction films, or period recreations. It's a city of business.
*Films: New York - Broadway and Wall Street, Le grand prix a Paris*
Whereas Paris in these films really is the Paris that Hollywood recreates when it wants to show this period. It really IS elegant. Look at a shot of Germany. The power of Germany shows through in it. You realize that the German empire was already there, whereas we were the flower of the nineteenth century. One observes a thousand little details like that.
*Films: Dresden: Auguste-Bencke Street, London: Westminster Bridge, Moscow: Tverskai Street*
When I see a woman walk past in a Lumiere film I see all of her psychology, all of her history, all of her life, her perspective, her "horizons." It's different in the films that are acted.
*Film: Card players watered *
Jean Renoir: In the little acted scenes it's obvious that it's Lumiere's family and employees "pretending." But it's not really being acted. What matters is not the characters; what matters is that Monsieur Lumiere has gotten them all together and had them do this. Monsieur Lumiere is filming himself. M. Lumiere expresses through their acting a certain wonderful naivete that often enters into French art. Much "good" acting is no less false.
*Films: The fake legless man, Battle of women, Nursemaids and soldier*
Henri Langois: [answering a question about whether a Lumiere cameraman was really the first to move the camera:] He didn't want to "move the camera." He wanted his camera with him in a gondola to show what he saw.
*Film: The Grand Canal in Venice*
If the filmmakers of the 20s had seen these films, people like [Fritz] Lang, they could have saved themselves a lot of time. But no one at the period of the Lumiere films thought that Lumiere's cameramen had invented the moving shot or the pan, because that's not what they saw. They saw "a shot of a tram moving."
*Film: Panorama of arriving in Aix-en-Bains taken from a moving train*
We see the genius of cinema popping up all over the place, but the spectators of that time didn't have the background to see that. [The following is the one time the voice over is overlaid, during the shot entering and leaving the tunnel:] Now, after the whole development of the cinematic language discovered in the 20s, we are approaching an art of cinema that is much closer to Louis Lumiere, who is the absolute of the art of cinema.
*Films: Passing through a tunnel, Liverpool: Panorama taken from an electric train*
[HL is asked to sum up his impression of the films]: What strike me is the lumiere (light), the quality of the light, the sunlit quality of the images, which they were obliged, I believe, to film at certain times of day. And the depth of field. In other French films of the period, [Louis] Feuillade, for example, there's depth, but the shot is composed for a flat surface, like a painting. There's something more scientific in the films of Lumiere that comes, I believe, from the light.
*Films: Goldfish bowl [amazing!], Marechal-ferrant, Disembarking from a ship*
They have to be developed using the procedures of the period for that to be seen, as they first were in Venice when a scientist I knew worked out a system for doing that. Seeing them properly developed, you understand that film is a plastic art.
*Films: Venice - Pigeons in Saint Marks' Square*
[HL answering a question about diagonal compositions:] It's not a diagonal - it's a triangle. All of silent film uses that triangular composition, not just the Lumiere films. There's never anything in the center, until you get to the style built around the plan americain and the close-up.
*Films: Transport d'une tourelle, Attelage d'un camion*
Jean Renoir: [Asked to sum up:] The precision and veracity that Henri Langois sees in these films shows, he says, that cinema is a resume of all the other arts. I see it differently. For me cinema is an art in itself, even though everything is linked. The world, as I never tire of saying, is one. And the world of Louis Lumiere is one.
For me the value of these films is that they are open to interpretation. Seeing one of them, I can make up the story I want, invent a before and after. You only have a work of art when the public is a collaborator. These films open a door to the imagination, permitting the spectator to invent part of what he sees. Which is also why the art of Getrmany in the 17th Century was music, since everyone in that society could be a musician. And why France is the art of painting, because of the atmosphere of painting that bathes it.

Recent Rains have Boaters and Anglers Singing
Rains improve boating access at several central-Kansas lakes
Singing in the rain; that's what some state park managers, boaters and anglers were doing last week.
After two years of drought conditions, low lake levels and limited boating access, recent rains have been well received.
Heavy rain in central
Kansasbrought a welcomed change to Kanopolis Reservoir in
County, and no one is happier than Rick Martin,
manager. Kanopolis Reservoir had been so low over the past year that boat ramps were high and dry. After a little inflow and some dredging work by park staff early this summer, one boat ramp allowed boaters on the water. However, water levels were less than ideal for recreation and fishing. According to Martin, that changed this week with the rain and the lake is predicted to be above normal conservation pool level by the weekend. And while that will allow the marina to open, make most boat ramps usable, and the beaches to open, the level will still be below what is considered the ideal summer elevation. Kanopolis is normally held at 4 feet above conservation for the summer recreation season.
State Park
That's music to Martin's ears because he wants to see the state park full of happy campers. While
offers a variety of outdoor fun, including hiking, biking and horse riding trails, boating and angling are big draws.
State Park
Other reservoirs returning to normal include
El Dorado and
. El Dorado Reservoir came up two feet and was 2.5 feet below conservation pool level on July 31. Marion Reservoir came up to just above conservation pool level as of July 31. Cheney Reservoir west of Marion
also saw some increased inflows, but still remains below conservation pool. The boat ramp in Marina Cove at Cheney allows boating access.
Heavy rains farther east pushed Toronto Reservoir to almost 7 feet above normal; however
manager Kimberly Jones didn't anticipate any impact on state park activities. Fall River Reservoir had risen just 2 feet above conservation pool by July 31.
State Park
And while summer fun is still on everyone's radar, duck hunters are keeping an eye on Cheyenne Bottoms, which finally received some runoff this week. Water is being diverted into the deep-water storage pool to prevent evaporation loss. With water stored, hunting pools can be flooded this fall just prior to hunting season.
Some parts of western
still feel the effects of long-term drought, but recent rains have improved conditions and perhaps show a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello Eliza,
i just joined today.Would you like to play sometime?
Hi Eliza,
I am new to Tennisopolis. Do you want to play sometime after 6pm?
Thanks, Marcia
Hi Eliza,
I'm looking for someone to hit with, maybe not for four hours though. I'm in WH/Hollywood, but I can make it over the hill pretty easily on mornings and weekends. Looks like we play at the same level, so if you're interested, let me know.
Hi Eliza,
I can sometimes be found late Thursday am and earlier Friday am at Sherman Oaks or Beeman Park in Studio City. Nice pick up games can often be found there. Perhaps we can enjoy a good tennis workout there. You can reach me at 818-995-3039.

I was asked on the radio last night if the excitement surrounding Michael Vick's demolition of the Redskins was going just a bit overboard. I said no, and I'm here now to explain why.
Yes, I know you feel conflicted about kinda liking Vick again. After all, he murdered dogs and totally tricked you into thinking that one Powerade commercial was legit. I can understand your reservations.
But fear not. It's okay to get excited about Michael Vick again. First of all, enjoying his play doesn't mean you APPROVE of what he did. The only way you can do that is if you actually invested money in Bad Newz Kennels, and I'm sure you didn't do that, despite the impressive 37% profit return.
No, it's okay to like Michael Vick again because, as with anything great in sports, this was NOT supposed to happen. I remember when Vick was drafted all those years ago. I remember the hype. I remember people saying he was going to revolutionize the position. I totally bought all that.
Then he went out and played fairly well, but never became a great passer, and never got the Falcons into the Super Bowl. Criminal activity aside, Vick's career became proof that the quarterback position CANNOT be revolutionized. That you CAN'T win it all with a QB who is anything but a straight pocket passer. And there was something sad about that. There was something sad about the idea that the old ways can't ever be improved upon, and that Vick would never become the player we all hoped we'd get to watch one day.
But over five full games this season, Vick HAS lived up to his potential. His passer rating is out of this world. He's running the ball as brilliantly as ever, but his passing plays have been just as breathtaking, if not more so.
And the thing about it is, no one ever thought this could happen (apart from Vick, of course). It seemed like we already knew everything about Vick the player: that he was a great runner who had crummy downfield vision and spotty accuracy. But now he's playing like the otherworldly talented we thought he maybe could have been but long since thought would never arrive.
The fact that he went to freakin' PRISON, and the fact that he languished on the bench until Kevin Kolb got hurt only adds the amazement. That's why you watch sports. To see stuff like this happen, because it's seems impossible. But athletes like Vick have a way of pulling that sort of thing off.
So rest easy, NFL fan. Enjoying Michael Vick doesn't make you a bad person. It just makes you a normal football fan.

Thanks to everyone that watched or got involved in last week's two major broadcast events - a live relay of Romeo and Juliet into cinemas; and Royal Ballet LIVE, a day of live streaming behind the scenes at the Royal Opera House attracting over 200,000 views.
Both events saw extensive social media coverage and commentary, with Royal Ballet LIVE trending on Twitter. Thousands of you posted tweets and we had a huge number of comments about Romeo and Juliet flying in from as far away as Buenos Aires - it was great to hear your thoughts on the ballet during the intervals and after the tragic finale.
Romeo and Juliet in cinemas
Our Romeo & Juliet cinema screening broke royal Opera House box office records in the UK and we invited six bloggers from A Younger Theatre behind the scenes to see what goes into putting a production onto the stage. During their visit they managed to pack in visits to the props, costume and broadcast departments, as well as having the opportunity to venture onto the stage to tread the boards themselves. We've collected together a pick of their tweets, with blogs on the experience to follow.
Those in cinemas were keen to offer their thoughts via Twitter (with the hashtag #ROHmeo) and we had a deluge of comments from around the world, a selection of which were featured on screen as part of the relay during intervals and curtain calls. It's something we're looking to repeat for future live screenings.
Royal Ballet LIVE
Royal Ballet LIVE saw a full day of live broadcasting from Covent Garden via YouTube in conjunction with The Guardian.
The day was presented by George Lamb and Royal Ballet Soloist Kristen McNally and featured exclusive glimpses of morning class, rehearsals and interviews. The broadcast culminated in a live broadcast of an Insight event, a first glimpse of Wayne McGregor's collaboration with acclaimed musician/producer Mark Ronson entitled Carbon Life, followed by a Q&A session.
As well as giving an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes at the Royal Opera House, we also asked you to send in your attempts at a grand jeté, receiving entries from as far afield as Hawaii and Vancouver. A compilation of some of the entries has been uploaded to YouTube.
As our media partner for the event, the Guardian also curated a range of content including the opportunity to watch Wayne McGregor's acclaimed Chroma in full online. The ballet is set to music by The White Stripes and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland composer Joby Talbot.
If you missed the day, we've uploaded a number of highlights meaning that you're able to grab a glimpse into class or peek in on rehearsals whenever you like. Enjoy!

Just another HTC windows mobile phone
I have been through many, many phones. This was one of the most frustrating phones that I have owned. You can definitely tell that the 3D touch flo is a new software, it works when it wants to. This phone glitched out on me about half the time. I would have to tap the touch screen 5-6 times before it would select. Some touch icons would bring me to the wrong spot on the phone. I'm putting it up for sell on my store after owning it for less than 1 month.
Trying to like it
I couldn't wait for this phone and now I'm having second thoughts. I came from a 6700 and 6800. The first thing I did was try the Picture Mail since I had to use hacks on all the other devices to send pics. What do you know, there is a bug. To sprint's defense this is the second device (the diamond was the first) with built in picture mail. When I send a picture, the mail always goes in the Inbox never the Outbox or Sent. I can even respond to my sent mail because its in the Inbox. HTC said they would look into this.
- Touch FLO concept is great
- Opera Mini so much better than IE
- Zoom wheel when using the browser is nice.
- A lot of apps I downloaded are no longer needed because now its included.
-Huge memory and expandable memory
Cons: and probably why I will take this back
- Lag times is a deal breaker, my 6700 and 6800 go faster than this device. With all the memory and processor speed, unacceptable.
- Picture Mail has a bug
- Touch Flo at times will not go to desired icons. Especially to home. Have to hit Home several times to get to Home.
- Battery life sucks, within 4 hours after a full charge, I'm down to half a battery.
Other than that it's a nice device and I'm trying to like it. I'm somewhat disappointed. I still have a few weeks to go and I will decide whether to keep it or not.
AD reviews continues below...
pros -- its not a slow 3g iphone it is everything you could ever want in a pda phone.why even compare this to a iphone its like comparing a bmw to a ford!also on sprints evdo network it rocks.
Your Gateway Phone to the Power Smartphone World!
I replaced my Samsung Saga with one of these, as the price for one came down a good deal. Note that I had the Verizon Wireless XV6850 Touch Pro, so it only came with 192 MB of RAM.
The Good:
VGA Display: Larger screen resolution means better quality images and the ability to fit more web page on the screen.
Slide-out Keyboard: If you get a Windows Mobile phone, it MUST have a physical keyboard or you will go insane trying to use the built-in one.
3.2 MP Auto Focus Camera with Flash: The Flash is a huge boon, and lets you use the phone as a flashlight. The flash LED is super bright!
528 MHz Processor: This really gives Windows Mobile a speed boost!
Modding Support: Believe it or not, there is a lot of custom ROM makers out there that can slim and trim the OS (even I eventually made my own ROM just for my phone) and add functionality it didn't have before (such as Youtube and Windows Mobile 6.5 and rapid charging, though rapid charge driver risks burning up the charge port).
The Bad:
Keyboard: Hard to press the letters, this isn't as killer as the Saga, but it still causes thumb pain after a while of typing on it. Also, no underscore key.
Heat: The high speed processor is very hot running. The flash also is a cooker.
Stock OS and RAM: Because the Verizon version has less RAM than the others, you have 40-50 MB of RAM to play with. That doesn't sound too bad, but both stock ROM and most custom ROMs go overboard with features, and this can bring it down to 10-20 MB. A clean ROM with no HTC dress-ups can net you 45-70 MB of free RAM, which makes Opera Mobile last longer on web browsing. Oh, and no Flash Player.
Slider Design: The spring is very stiff, and the construction is not up to spec to it. Months after I sold my Touch Pro, the next owner tells me the screen is having problems now. This is inevitable in a slider design.
The Ugly:
It's a decent phone to start out with, and a fun one to learn to MOD on. However, there are better options for Windows Mobile.
HTC Diamond Pro
This phone kicked some serious butt.
Kept my phone at 100% work efficient, so it doubled as a laptop when it needed. Watched movies, videos and even printed pdf files off the phone. (using the cortrect cables offcourse) Skipped the Pro 2 for the hero.
Gone Android, aint looking back.
looks pretty, but thats where it stops
I was very excited when I finally could upgrade my phone, I carefully choose this one. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews. I decided to try it anyway which was a big mistake.
I went through 3 phones from Sprint. The first one when charging got so hot it actually left welts in my hand. After about a week I decided it was defective. I got the new one and it was just filled with bugs, the screen would scramble when rotated, it would freeze all the time. not to mention the battery life lasted about 4 hours. It came to the point where I had to send it back. The third one I got had less bugs but the battery still was horrible. I would charge it all day as soon as I would take it off within in ten minutes it was down a bar. It let me down many times. and this is with minimum use mind you.
The touch flow over lay was cute at first but became to annoying to be practical, for instance when you would open the program window, the way the grid is laid out its hard to touch the screen and not accidentally open a program. there is no where to put your finger to flick up or down without pressing a program. This version of Touch Flow just is not customizable enough to be useful. I actually ditched it and ran SPB mobile shell and it worked just as well.
big touch screen
nice keyboard
3.2 mega pixel camera
Horrible battery life (4 hours!)
very very slow
Touch flow
No 3mm built in head set
for me it was the battery life and buggyness
killed it for me.. I actually went to the Palm Treo Pro and even though it has less ram it is pretty quick and very thin.
People This Phone Is Ultra Frickin Anwesome The Screen Is So Crisp And The Touch UI Responds Equally to An Iphone I Love This Phone So Much nd Also This Phone Is For AnyBody Not Just Business Users Its Very Usuable 3.2 Cam Stunning Pictures And Non-Blurry Videos Get A Touch Pro Today!!!!!!
4 brand new HTC touch pro's - All junk
Where do I start (Ill keep it short and Bitter) - Purchased this phone because it has tons of features and worked great for awhile (Besides being slow and bad battery life), Then it started having speaker issues so I got the phone replaced. The replacement worked fine for about 2 weeks then started to randomly power off for no reason, Went back and got another replacement. This replacement right away some of the buttons did not work and the screen did not flip when slid open for keyboard use, Went back the next day and got a brand new one again only this time I had it for around 3 months with just simple issues like having to carry 2 extra batteries everywhere I went cause it needs 3 to get through a whole day of constant use and random freezing, then it started to shut off whenever I sent out a text message. I am now looking forward to returning the phone for good!
High hopes crushed by battery life....
This phone is very fast, very pretty, and seems to be well built.
I could not live with it for one major reason, battery life. I don't really expect all that much out of my phone as far as battery is concerned, I want to get one whole day of light to moderate use, thats all. With WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth turned off it would still be dead before lunch no matter how little I used it. I am not always able to be at my desk and leave the phone plugged in, I need to be able to be out and about during many days. This phone was just never able to do that.
Stability seemed to be good, and features were wonderful. I really wanted this phone to work out for me and tried my best to like it.
Nice, but not usable
Overall the phone is packed with a lot of features. However in the end there are a lot more cons than pros.
Things I dislike. To do anything it seems there are always a lot of steps to take. Take the camera for example. If I want to quick snap a pick I have to go to scroll to the camera section then tell it I want to take a pic.
The camera quality is good for still pictures other than that it is terrible and the response time on taking a pic is FOREVER.
The battery life on this is horrendous for me. I can maybe make half a day with out even talking on it much.
I would not recommend this phone.

The singer also is suffering dehydration, her rep says; another cancellation is possible
Beyoncé is canceling her Tuesday concert in Belgium because of dehydration and exhaustion, her rep says.
In an email to The Associated Press, the singer's publicist says Beyoncé has been advised by her doctors to rest. She was scheduled to perform at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. The show will be rescheduled and tickets can be used at that show.
Her next tour date is Wednesday at the same arena. The statement says "she is awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision."
The cancellation comes amid reports Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z are expecting a sibling for their daughter, Blue Ivy, now 15 months.
Beyoncé, 31, launched her Mrs. Carter World Tour last month in Belgrade, Serbia. It wraps Aug. 5 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

LOS ANGELES — Will Ferrell is not pursuing a film project about President Ronald Reagan, a spokesman for the actor said Friday. The actor had read and considered the script for "Reagan" but had never committed to developing or starring in the comedic film, which had prompted a strong family backlash.
The script for "Reagan" had been described in a Variety report as a political satire about the president falling into dementia at the start of his second term.
Reagan's children Michael Reagan and Patti Davis, as well as the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, issued statements against the idea of a film portraying dementia and Alzheimer's in a comedic fashion.
Ferrell's spokesman said that "Reagan" is "by no means" an Alzheimer's comedy. Reagan died of the disease in 2004.
