I assume you mean the supermarkets' carts, not shoppers' personal carts.

Depends on what he's asking for...

You can buy them anywhere... costco, BJs Wholesale Club, Lowe's, Target, online, etc. $25-$35 ish, unless you get something fancy.

Why don't you buy a shopping cart?

Utah football posts phallic photo on Instagram while trying to honor veterans http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.3626632.1510446773!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_750/lq6rwxcovjcynrtnji9a.jpg This is too close of a look under the armour. Utah football tried to post a simple photo to their Instagram story honoring those who have served our country this Veterans Day while at the same time promoting Under Armour gear. But that’s just the tip of the story. The black and white photo, which features a grey camo filter, showed the silhouette of a football player putting his gloves on, but at first glance it looks like he is exposing himself. Utah football hasn’t said anything about the advertising boner, but the photo is no longer in their Instagram story.

Billy Capshaw was 17 years old when he met Dahmer and was first abused by him. "Jeff Dahmer was a sociopath, a psychopath, a narcissist — he was insane," Capshaw told TheWrap. "I loved him so much." He said he waited until his father's death to share his story because it was "too embarrassing, and I didn't want my dad to know I was into that stuff." Capshaw and Dahmer were "roommates" in the military, TheWrap reported. Capshaw said that Dahmer tortured, beat, and tied him to the bed many times of the two years they spent living together. He controlled the only key to their room, would lock Capshaw inside, and intercepted mail from his family. Capshaw said he tried repeatedly to escape the room through the window or fire escape, but was always returned to Dahmer. He alleges that others were aware of the abuse he suffered. Capshaw described reaching the depths of despair. "I thought about killing him, and I thought about killing myself." Capshaw told TheWrap. Dahmer was eventually discharged from the military for his alcohol abuse. He returned to Ohio and in 1987, began his killing spree, targeting victims at gay bars. An escaped victim led cops to Dahmer's apartment where they found skulls, human hearts and other body parts, which led to Dahmer's arrest. By that point he had claimed 17 lives. Dahmer pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment in 1992, because at that point, the death penalty was not an option in the state of Wisconsin. He was bludgeoned to death by a fellow inmate in November 1994. Davis said he didn't immediately know of his abuser's death. "I didn't find out about his death until years later," he said. "I was living under a rock at the time. The only thing I can say is karma, like myself, is a bitch ... I don't consider myself a victim. I'm a survivor of a broken heart," he told TheWrap.

TylerandAce's kid's plan to enslave the American workforce: Robots have long been a part of the automotive assembly process, but what about cyborgs? You won’t find any factory workers jacked into the internet yet, but Ford is trying out a new exoskeleton designed to make physical tasks easier for the human half of the man-machine combination. It’s called the EksoVest and was developed by California’s Ekso Bionics, interestingly enough in a former Ford factory in Richmond. The 9.5-pound device straps onto the shoulders and arms of a worker and uses unpowered springs to give them a little super strength. The vest provides an extra five to 15 pounds of lifting assistance, which can be helpful for picking up heavy objects, but in this case is being mainly tested during tasks requiring employees to raise their arms overhead to work on the underside of vehicles suspended from above. Ford says some assembly line workers have to do this sort of thing over 1 million times a year, and is looking to see if the EksoVest reduces fatigue and injuries. It’s currently being trialed at two plants in Michigan, including Flat Rock Assembly where the Mustang is made, with tests at other locations to follow in the coming months. Along with the EksoVest, Exso Bionics has also developed a full-body powered exoskeleton for patients recovering from spinal cord injuries and strokes.

TylerandAce, where does your son's school get their test subjects guinea pigs?

Looks like he's coated with sesame seeds. YUMMY!

No stores deliver to my neighborhood, so I had to use a delivery service (PEAPOD) when I was homebound by severe back spasms. The first 60 days are free delivery, but the prices are horrendous. Fortunately, the one time I had to use them, many items I wanted were on sale, so it wasn't so bad.

As Demi & Patrick once said, "Ditto"! And you get lots of help from employees (& even other customers) if you're using the handicapped cart. The store I usually go to has five of them, and the ones that aren't in use are always lined up in front of the store, fully charged.

A large contingent of Greeks from the Cleveland area surprised and serenaded Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo after a game this week. The crowd of several hundred hung around the Quicken Loans Arena Tuesday night following the Bucks loss to the Cavaliers. Greek native Antetokounmpo scored 40 points for the Bucks in the game. It was "Greek night with the Cavs," an annual event that draws basketball fans from the five Greek Orthodox churches in the Cleveland and Akron area, said Eugenia Smith, of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. Antetokounmpo emerges from the locker room wearing a red hoodie and backpack and appears surprised by the size of crowd waiting to greet him. "There is no way you guys are all Greek," he jokes in a video tweeted by the Milwaukee Bucks. The video has been "liked" nearly 6,500 times. The crowd proves otherwise and launches into the Greek national anthem, with Antetokounmpo joining in. He then makes his way through the crowd, signing autographs and posing for selfies before saying he wanted to make a video for his Instagram account. At the count of three, the crowd joins Antetokounmpo with a hearty "long live Ellas (Greece)" cheer. "Thank you so much for coming out and seeing us all," one woman yells. Before leaving, Antetokounmpo pauses for one more autograph. He signals someone in the crowd and deftly snags a basketball tossed to him. Antetokounmpo spends several moments signing the ball, spins it on his finger and heads out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1uBkg0cXX0 The Unspeakable Greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/sports/basketball/giannis-milwaukee-bucks.html?_r=0

An 18-year-old woman died after she got out of her vehicle to check for damage from a fender-bender in Long Island — and the driver of the other vehicle ran her over and sped off, police said Friday. Taranjit Parmar was on the phone with her mother when she was mowed down, heartbroken relatives said. “She had called my wife and said, ‘Hi, Mom,” Parmar’s father Ranjit Parmar, 50, told the Daily News. “Then she said ‘Oh, no, Stop!’ and the call got disconnected. There was no answer.” The dental student was on her way home when she got into a minor accident on Hempstead Turnpike near Gardiners Ave. in Levittown about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. A red pickup truck was making a turn from Gardiners Ave. onto Hempstead Turnpike when it struck Parmar’s jeep. She and the truck driver pulled over outside a gas station after colliding. When Parmar got out to inspect the damage to her 2018 Jeep, the driver of the pickup truck sped off, running the young woman over. Cops are still looking for the hit-and-run driver. Medics rushed Parmar to Nassau University Medical Center, where she died from massive head and chest injuries. Parmar, who was studying to be a dentist at Adelphi University, was 10 minutes from her home when she was hit. “A witness said she had stepped out of her car and looked at the damage and then approached the pickup truck to talk to the other guy, but the other guy basically took off, dragging her along with him,” her heartbroken father said. “She was my oldest daughter and was a role model to her other sisters. She was the foundation of this family. She even told us what to do as parents.” A homeless man who uses a wheelchair was killed by a heartless hit-and-run driver in the Lower East Side early Friday, officials said. The 49-year-old victim, known as Johnny to local residents, was discovered dead with severe head trauma lying in the roadway near his wheelchair at Delancey and Clinton Sts. about 3:25 a.m., cops said. His full name was not immediately released. Cops say he was hit be a vehicle that fled the scene. Neighbors said Johnny was a severe alcoholic but a friendly presence who had a prosthetic leg after losing the limb to complications from diabetes. "Everyone in the neighborhood knows him," said Barakat Nahshal, 22, a clerk at the Fancy Tobacco Shop near the corner where the victim was found. "He's on the street drunk 24/7." Nahshal said that since he started working at the store a month ago he saw Johnny passed out on the sidewalk two times. "(The ambulance) is always coming to pick him up for drinking," he said. "This is a usual thing. I thought they were going to take him to the hospital but this time he's dead." "He's been in out of the hospital a few times," said Aaron Grosser, 52. "When he gets out, we try to get him clean clothes and a shower. He's an alcoholic but what the hell, who isn't?" Cops don’t have a description of the vehicle that hit Johnny and have made no arrests. Johnny’s death rattled neighbors. "His family is gonna come out in the morning and wonder where he is," said a tearful man who declined to give his name. "He's always out here but he doesn't bother nobody. You don't want to see someone who's already in bad shape die like that." The grieving family of a Brooklyn man dragged to his death during a road rage dispute blasted the driver who ran him down. “Imagine how cruel the person (has) to be to drag a person,” said the sister of victim Gavriel Mardakhay, who declined to give her name. “There is so much going on I can't even get my mind around it.” Mardakhay, 65, was shopping at Costco on Third Ave. near 37th St. in Sunset Park with his wife Thursday night when he saw an electrical company van hit his car in the parking lot. The 55-year-old van driver took off. Mardakhay jumped into his car and chased the van. Mardakhay and a good Samaritan in a gray minivan boxed the fleeing driver in after the van mounted the curb on Third Ave. at 65th St. in Bay Ridge But when Mardakhay left his car and confronted the van driver, that driver drove into him and dragged him two blocks, police said. The good Samaritan grabbed the van driver, held him down, and yelled, “What did you do?” witnesses said. Firefighters from the nearby Engine 241 and Ladder 109 firehouse lifted the van to free Mardakhay. Medics took him to NYU Langone Hospital — Brooklyn, where he died. “It's a very sad day,” Mardakhay’s sister said Friday while going through his belongings. “He's not going to come back.” She left a boombox, a small white shelving unit and a side table outside his apartment as she sorted through his belongings. The van driver is in custody but has yet be charged, police said Friday.

The Everett Herald reports that the john’s three credit cards were charged 82 times between October 22 and November 5. Wallen was eventually tracked down and arrested at her home in Mount Vernon, Washington. The Herald report adds that Wallen asked for police to contact one of her johns for help in paying for her $1 million bail. The judge also said that Wallen’s 13 active warrants for her arrest “might be a record.”

There is no mystery to Giannis Antetokounmpo. On every touch, he has the same end in mind: a meeting with the rim, as forceful as is possible. Antetokounmpo's dominance is cemented by this frustrating simplicity. There is no cat-and-mouse game, as with Stephen Curry's flinching shot fakes. There is no world of possibility, as with LeBron James and his full view of the court. Antetokounmpo's shot chart telegraphs exactly where he means to go. All that remains to be seen is how he manages to get there. That "how" defines one of the league's most unstoppable scorers. The best defenders in the league study Antetokounmpo's moves. Entire teams load up against him with a full array of obstacles. Yet to the extent that any of those opponents are relevant, it is as an accessory—to be spun around, stepped past, or scored over. There is a perfect consensus as to what kinds of shots to take away from Antetokounmpo and a near-perfect failure to actually deny him. Only once this season has Antetokounmpo scored fewer than 28 points in a game. The rest has been an onslaught. What the Bucks experience on a nightly basis amounts to frantic attempts at real-time problem solving. Some opponents choose to give Antetokounmpo space on the perimeter, which he then uses against them. Others play him closely and forfeit lanes to his quick first step. Milwaukee draws more defensive three-second violations than all but two other teams in the league because Antetokounmpo, unspeakable terror that he is, keeps everybody on edge. It's easy to understand why when a sudden spin move could completely neutralize an individual defender: It's on possessions like these that all of Antetokounmpo's ridiculous proportions come to bear. The footwork of his spin alone makes him a nightmare; Giannis will always cover more ground with that single step than his defender would, at which point they have no chance at all of matching his extension toward the rim. Such is a common theme with Antetokounmpo. To keep square with him is already a disadvantage. Give up an inch and the only way for a defender to get back into the play is through dramatic overcorrection. Some are tempted, then, to treat Antetokounmpo as they would a quicker attacking guard: by backpedaling on the drive and closing the gap on the shot. It's a fair idea in theory, upended by the fact that Giannis will run you right into the hoop: Antetokounmpo has taken more shots at the rim than any other player in the league (and made a jarring 79.6% of them) for a reason. He's become effectively settle-proof; no matter what a defender tries, there is only so much they can do to account for the fact that from any point of separation, Antetokounmpo will cover so much more ground on every step than they possibly could. One long stride can be the difference between a defender believing they're square and knowing they're toast: Help defenders, too, can assume perfect position only for Antetokounmpo to sidestep them completely. He is massive. He is powerful. And even though he intends to drive at every opportunity, Antetokounmpo is just too damn slippery for a defense to do much of anything about it. In years past, a slighter Antetokounmpo could be steered by veteran defenders, made to drift from the hoop for more challenging shots. That option is effectively off the table. The physical changes are obvious, as are the changes in how he navigates the floor. Those little holds that might have once slowed Giannis from getting to his spots? Futile. The bumps that used to neutralize his momentum? Consider them absorbed. Antetokounmpo has the legs to power him through, the arms and shoulders to safely manipulate the ball along the way, and the core strength to steady every move. For a player that robust, scoring can come as easily as bumping a player off his spot in the post: Antetokounmpo, through his revised physical profile, has become the perfect continuation player. LeBron has long been able to shrug off fouling defenders on the way to a score. What makes Giannis even more of an anomaly is the range at which he can power through. No matter the point of contact, Antetokounmpo always seems to be within one step and arm's reach of the hoop. Sometimes Antetokounmpo will begin his drives at the three-point line, where he revs up before hitting his defender with a hesitation move or some subtle shift in direction. In other cases, the Bucks will isolate him around the free throw line, a la Dirk Nowitzki in the late 2000s. Their approaches could not be more different. Where Nowitzki used the threat of the shot to open up the drive, Antetokounmpo relies on the immediacy of his drives to sell themselves. A defender has to have the right size, speed, and positioning to have any chance of stopping Giannis. Even then, their guesswork—in terms of which direction he'll push and in what manner—has to be perfect. If it's not, Antetokounmpo's starting point is already so close to the basket as to obliterate any capacity for a defense to recover. This is a quality that Antetokounmpo shares with Kristaps Porzingis: When a defender does make a mistake, the disparity in length alone makes it almost impossible for that defender to find his way back. With Porzingis that manifests with a giant jump shooter lording the ball well over his defender's head. For Giannis, the extension comes horizontally—a defender held off on one side of his body while the opposite arm takes the ball half a world away. Giannis has become undeniable. Opponents who try to prevent him from getting the ball in the first place leave their defense exposed to his back cuts. Fronting him in the post without an outright double-team can often be as good as conceding a layup. On the break, sometimes three or four defenders may not be enough to stop him. Antetokounmpo tearing down the court has a way of diffusing responsibility, with every defender hoping that someone else might step up to stop his progress. The result is a parting of the waters for the most dangerous transition player in the game: This is how a purely dominant scorer bends a defense to his will. Most every other player in the league operates under the veil of variety. The possibility of making one kind of move creates room for another. Not so for Antetokounmpo, who can’t even convincingly eye the rim from afar. Defenders know where he’s going but lack for the means to actually stop him. Instead, they try whatever they can. They gamble, they swipe, and they sell out in one direction or another. What dooms them is less a matter of focus or toughness than it is hard science. To even stand next to Antetokounmpo is to be at a loss. To stand in his way throws that contrast into starkest relief.

Sri Lanka's government faced increasing pressure Friday to answer for alleged human rights violations following a recent war crimes lawsuit and allegations from over 50 men who said they were raped, branded or tortured as recently as this year. The men's anguished descriptions of their abuses come nearly a decade after Sri Lanka's civil war ended and days ahead of a review of the Indian Ocean nation by the U.N.'s top human rights body. Doctors, psychologists, lawmakers and rights groups have appealed to the United Nations to investigate new allegations published by The Associated Press on Wednesday. The AP reviewed 32 medical and psychological evaluations and interviewed 20 men who said they were accused of trying to revive a rebel group on the losing side of Sri Lanka's 26-year civil war. Although combat ended in 2009, they say the torture and abuse occurred from early 2016 to as recently as July this year. "Someone has to do something about this," said Dr. Frank Arnold, one of several doctors who wrote to U.N. Human Rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein and called for an independent investigation into the Sri Lankan torture allegations. "As forensic experts, we have collectively seen many hundreds of Sri Lankans who have fled their country following torture over the years," the physicians' letter said. "We continue to receive a worrying number of cases from Sri Lanka despite the change of government." One of the men in the AP investigation said he was held for 21 days in a small room where he was raped 12 times, burned with cigarettes, beaten with iron rods and hung upside-down. Another man described being abducted from home by five men, driven to a prison, and taken to a "torture room" pocked with blood splatters on the wall. Most of the men say they their captors identified themselves as members of the Criminal Investigations Department, a police unit that investigates serious crimes. Some, however, said it appeared their interrogators were soldiers. Rep. Eliot Engel, top-ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said policymakers in Washington cannot ignore these alleged crimes. "These allegations are horrifying, and must be fully and transparently investigated. The seriousness of these reports should also make the United States wary of advancing our military relationship with Sri Lanka until a full accounting has occurred," he said Friday. Sri Lanka's diplomatic mission in Geneva did not respond to repeated calls or an email Friday seeking comment. U.N. human rights office spokesman Rupert Colville said "we are currently looking into these alarming allegations to work out the best way for them to be further investigated." The AP's investigation into the recent Sri Lankan torture allegations came months after another investigation in which the AP found that 134 U.N. peacekeepers from Sri Lanka were implicated in a child sex ring in Haiti between 2004 and 2007. Despite evidence of child rape, no Sri Lankan peacekeeper was ever prosecuted. In August, rights groups in South America filed lawsuits against Gen. Jagath Jayasuriya, a Sri Lankan ambassador in the region. He is accused of overseeing military units that attacked hospitals and killed, disappeared and tortured thousands of people at the end of the country's civil war. Upon the ambassador's return to Sri Lanka, President Maithripala Sirisena vowed that neither Jayasuriya nor any other "war hero" would face prosecution — a pledge that rights groups said illustrates continued impunity in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka, which has denied the allegations of torture and war crimes, goes before the U.N.'s Human Rights Council in Geneva next week as part of a regular examination known as the Universal Periodic Review. All 193 U.N. member states usually undergo such reviews about every 4-1/2 years, but Wednesday's review may hold added significance. The UPR process generally focuses on institutional, long-term efforts by countries — not specific issues like the recent testimonies of sexual abuse and torture in Sri Lanka. The new allegations, however, suggest that Sri Lanka still has not stopped using torture — a practice it was highly criticized for during and after the war against the Tamil Tigers rebel group. Documents used for the review will include accounts of disappearances, calls to bring rights abusers to justice, investigations into war crimes, and reports of torture and arbitrary arrest in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's delegation will be headed by Harsha de Silva, a deputy minister. Yasmin Sooka, director of the South Africa-based Foundation for Human Rights, said she hopes the review will spur member states to ask Sri Lanka tough questions. She also urged the U.N. to establish an independent body to investigate the allegations — much like it did in Guatemala. "There is no real framework for witness security in Sri Lanka," said Sooka. "As it stands now, the very people who are accused of such violations would essentially be in charge of investigating themselves. An independent investigative unit needs to be established." Many ethnic minority Tamils contend the government continues to target them as part of a larger plan to destroy their culture. Tamils speak a different language and are largely Hindu, unlike the country's largely Buddhist Sinhalese majority. More than 100,000 people were estimated to have died in the war, including at least up to 40,000 civilians in its final months, according to U.N. estimates. Sri Lankan authorities have denied targeting civilians and dispute the death toll. Justice C.V. Wigneswaran, chief minister for Sri Lanka's Northern Province and a former Supreme Court judge, sent a letter to the AP on Friday confirming similar rights abuses he has heard from Tamils in his northern constituency. He said he has previously urged the U.N. rights chief to demand an independent investigation. "Unfortunately, this was overlooked ... if the international mechanism was in place it would have acted as a deterrent to these military sadists," he told the AP on Friday. The London-based Freedom from Torture group also urged Zeid to independently investigate the claims. "Our evidence is consistent with the recent press reports and suggests that torture remains deeply ingrained in the military, police and intelligence sectors in peacetime Sri Lanka," the group said in a letter. Some advocates said even more pressure was needed. "There's mounting evidence that Sri Lanka cannot keep ignoring but while the pressure is there, they are essentially still getting away with it," said Canadian lawmaker Gary Anandasangaree, who has urged the Canadian government to do more ahead of a peacekeeping conference in Canada next week. A Sri Lankan teen known as Witness #267 showed scars and marks on his chest during an interview in London. The 19-year old said that he was raped and burned more than 60 times with cigarettes during his detention earlier in the year in Sri Lanka. Trembling when asked questions, he says, “I can’t. I’m not anywhere near through this.”

It was probably the same fire that killed Elizabeth Keene's mother. You know how networks like to cross-promote their shows!

I watched all the episodes last season, but never really got into the show. Kevin & Toby were so incredibly annoying the first half of the season (Kevin with his stupidity and shallowness, Toby because his constant earnest goodness made my teeth hurt), I was praying for Toby to die after his heart attack and for that AT&T spokechick to hit Kevin over the head with a phone (an old-fashioned heavy rotary model). They got less nauseating as the season went on. I never started watching this season, and now it seem like too daunting a task to catch up... maybe I'll do it next month when everything will be in reruns. Then again, due to the shocking Toby scandal, maybe I'll have to boycott the show on moral and ethical grounds.

Too bad there don't seem to be many 24-hour stores left, correct?
