The pair exchanged sets before Price, the two-time Grand Slam champion, produced some belated brilliance to claim the sixth set 3-0.
‘From the off I was rubbish and Simon wasn’t any better,’ Price told Sky Sports.
‘It was slowed down to a pathetic pace, but I’ll learn from it and do better the next time I come up against that situation.
Earlier this month, we learned that Dollywood would be the set for Parton’s latest Christmas special. They’re currently shooting Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas. The special will be a tongue-in-cheek look at what it takes to shoot a huge musical production. We also learned that Dolly is enlisting an impressive cast of celebrities to help bring it to life.
On August 8th, Dollywood attendees saw Willie Nelson riding around the park on a golf cart with Dolly Parton. Yesterday, parkgoers spotted another celebrity guest – Jimmy Fallon. One lucky attendee caught the late-night talk show host in what appears to be a full costume. He was sporting a black leather jacket and black jeans while coming out of Red’s Drive-In in the park’s fifties-themed Jukebox Junction. Dolly wasn’t far behind him. Check out the video below.
@audreychambers20 This was so worth waiting nearly 3 hours for and made my 10yr old ecstatic! 🦋 #dollyparton #dollywood #jimmyfallon @Jimmy Fallon ♬ Why’d You Come in Here Lookin’ Like That – Dolly Parton
Right now, we don’t know for sure if Jimmy Fallon and Dolly Parton were in costume for the movie. However, there’s a good chance that they were. After all, it’s summertime in Tennessee which means it’s a little too hot to be casually walking around in a heavy leather jacket.
Jimmy Fallon won’t be the last famous face that Dollywood attendees might catch a glimpse of. Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas will feature a long list of Parton’s famous friends. Billy Ray Cyrus, Miley Cyrus, Jimmie Allen, and more are slated to take part in the movie, according to The Tennessean.
Dolly Parton and Jimmy Fallon Are Pals
Dolly Parton has a pretty obvious connection to many of the movie’s celebrity guest stars. For instance, she and Willie Nelson are country music icons. That’s a solid enough connection. Dolly and Billy Ray Cyrus have been close friends for years. How close are they? They’re close enough that Dolly is Miley Cyrus’ godmother.
Then, there’s Dolly Parton’s relationship with Jimmy Fallon. Every time she appears on his show, they have a great time. It’s like watching two old friends catch up and have some laughs. Also, Dolly has admitted to having a celebrity crush on Fallon in the past.
She once said that Jimmy Fallon holds a special place in her heart. “Well, I have a crush on Jimmy Fallon, but I’m big now, I can’t excuse myself on that,” Dolly Parton said. “I think he is precious. He’s so funny and we get along so good.”
Dolly Parton went on to say that she had good relationships with several late-night talk show hosts. “There’s something about the late-night people that kinda hits my fancy and I hit theirs somehow. I guess it’s ‘cause you feel like you can be more free late at night. You don’t have to worry about what you say,” Parton explained.
Hopefully, we’ll get to see Fallon and Parton onscreen together in Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas. As of now, no release date has been announced. However, we can probably expect it to hit NBC in December.Replacement Spokes for Durace 7850's...
Just got my 7850 c24's, was just wondering are there any online sources for relacement spokes, seems as though it may be worth having one or two, always used to do that with my custom built wheels.
Petra Cycles in the UK has a large catalog of Shimano wheel spares. I noticed that the 7850 C24 spokes were back ordered. I would think that a local bike store that is also a Shimano authorized dealer would be able to order from the Shimano parts catalog.
I would go to a local Shimano dealer to get those parts. I don't think you will really save anything by getting them online.
Shimano is usually out of stock on wheel parts, but since you want them as spares it shouldn't be a big deal to wait.
I just ordered a pair of 7850 CLs and would also like some spare spokes.
So I'd be interested in what you find/order.Binisaid is a farmhouse situated in the south of Menorca. At 5 minutes from Cala Galdana and Cala Mitjana, two of the most famous and beautiful beaches of the island.
Its location in the centre of the island makes it very convenient to visit the different villages and coves of the isle. In Binisaid you'll find a family atmosphere and a friendly and serene that you will share the house and the island.

You'll end the day with a swim in the pool or a good read on the porch of the house.The government needs to focus on promoting entrepreneurship, developing and incubating startups, and look at new business models to bring about a transformation in the sector.
However the Indian market is quiet nascent amounting to only 0.66 billion. There is a huge opportunity for India in organic farming. However, regulations, production and markets should be aligned for India to fully realise its potential. Government could play a key role in boosting this by helping farmers switch over to organic farming from the conventional method. The government needs to increase the funds from ₹200 crores to around ₹1,500 crores to target 0.5 million farmers through partial support from government during the 3 year conversion phase.
Innovation is key to give the farming sector a new lease of life. Government should focus on promoting entrepreneurship, developing and incubating startups, look at new business models to bring about a transformation in the sector. Policy reforms such as removal of angel taxation has been a supportive step to develop the ecosystem. Further sops like extended tax holidays, rebate on bank loans, creation of venture capital funds etc can be undertaken for supporting the startups to come at par with the mainstream businesses. Further, each state needs to develop incubation and start up infrastructure for supporting the innovators coming from small towns/ schools/ colleges. Creation of a corpus fund of ₹500 crores for such initiatives can help develop an institutional mechanism for the startup ecosystem across the country.
Depleting ground water resources is a major area of concern for the sector. The total ground water resources of India stood at 433 billion cubic meter/ year in 2016. Surprisingly, our ground water usage is more than the combined ground water use of U.S. and China put together. Around 60% of irrigated agricultural land is dependent on groundwater usage only. As per a study done by NASA, the groundwater levels in India is depleting at a rate of 1 feet with every 3 years which is a grave concern for the future of agriculture.Therefore, the sector needs sustained focus on replenishing ground water resources and creation of irrigation facilities for efficient use of water by the farming community. The existing Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojna (PMKSY) needs to be strengthened for creation of the necessary irrigation infrastructure.
Small farmers often face logistics and storage issues. Currently, we do not have adequate integrated pack houses, refer trucks, bulk and distribution centers and ripening chambers. Therefore, farmers are not able to sell their products in distant markets. Due to this lack of infrastructure, we lose close to ₹13 billion in the post-harvest phase.Initiatives to create distribution hubs, dedicated rail connectivity, pack houses and market access needs to be undertaken for resolving this issue. Further, we need to invest in mainstreaming alternate technologies such as passive cooling for reducing wastage and minimising transit losses. Passive cooling is better than the conventional active cooling as it reduces fuel consumption, has a low carbon footprint and lower operational cost. An investment of ₹2000 crores may be required to create the necessary infrastructure and technology interventions for movement of perishable produce from farm gate to distant markets.
To address a lot of these issues, it’s imperative to invest in agricultural research and development, for a sustainable growth of the sector. Currently, India spends only 0.30% on research, most of which is driven by government-aided institutes. There is minimal participation from the private sector. Government must therefore focus on strengthening the policy framework to enable the participation of private players and attract investments.
