One of the best uses of physics in the game is a minor but brilliant narrative trick – a Combine soldier hits a can to the floor and orders Freeman to pick it up. At once a powerful piece of world-building and an opportunity for the player to 'take control' of Freeman's response, the sequence echoes throughout the genre to this day.

It was interesting to realise it's not just myself that's rusty when it comes to photographs, but also the way I process and distribute them is also quite rusty. Aperture, which Apple have already signalled isn't long for this world, is already showing some obvious bugs when run under Yosemite, and Flickr, where I used to post photos, is in quite a sad state. The photo presentation formatting has changed considerably, which makes a mess of the framing on my old photos which was designed around Flickr's old layout. Even worse, my attempt to log in was pretty much a full screen advert for some bank with a tiny login to one side, and given I pay for Flickr, I strongly object to this. I suspect I'll be closing my Flickr account shortly, which is sad, as Flickr used to have a very good community.
Discussing with a friend, it looks like there's no go to place for photos on the internet any more, at least for serious amateurs like ourselves. Flickr is now a mess, 500px never really seemed to take off, SmugMug's layout never really suited trying to present photos such that they're not surrounded by widgets. My friend has taken to just using his blog, and here I am doing the same, but then I miss the feedback from other photographers, which really helped me a lot during my 365.
This all ties back a bit to a common discussion at the Indie tech summit I went to earlier this year. A common theme there was trying to find a home for your content on the web, such that you could put it where others could access it (which mainly means with shared services), whilst at the same time you regain control over it (which mainly means with self owned services). There was some good ideas floating around, but it'll be interesting to see if any of those make it to launch, and if they do, then whether they can succeed where services like identi.ca and diaspora failed.]]>
Why change? Having consistently used iOS since the iPhone 3G (the oddly named second version of the iPhone), I decided it was time to try something different when I came around to replacing my iPhone 5. I'd held out until WWDC (Apple's annual developer conference) to see what the next version of iOS held in store, but nothing from a user's perspective seemed that new (at least for my typical usage). Don't get me wrong, iOS is really good, and for the most part it just works, which as a user is fantastic, but as a technologist is a little bit dull. And it's not just the phone OS that has stagnated, so have the applications I run on it. I've no idea if it's me or the app store (or both), but I've found myself using the same ten or so apps for the last year, with nothing new to excite me about using my phone.
As an alternative I decided to go for something totally unknown – Windows Phone 8.1. I'd heard some good things about it, but had next to no experience of it (or indeed of Windows since I stopped working at Intel some eight years ago), so it seemed like a suitable technological adventure. And given that part of my aim was to compare it to my iPhone, I opted to buy the flagship Windows Phone phone at the time, the Lumia 930 (which, despite being their flagship phone, was actually cheaper than the equivalent iPhone, though still not cheap).
I've now lived with the phone for two months, and people keep asking my opinion on it, so here's some thoughts on it to date: the good, the mixed, and the bad.
The good
Windows Phone generally seems quiet slick UI wise. It suffers from animation overdose a little (as does iOS these days) slowing down navigation a bit, but on the whole, I do like the start of day experience with the phone. I've been using the Live Lock Screen Beta app to have a nicely playful lock screen, and the live tiles on the home screen actually have grown on me quite a bit. Some of the tiles are a bit annoying, and thus I'm forced to minimise them to shut them up (e.g., Cortana wants to show news headlines which I'm not interested in). But having the weather, calendar, and so forth on the home screen is quite nice. It would be nice to be able to have some apps have big tiles and no animations, but overall I do like the live tiles, which I didn't think I would.
There's some lovely bits of joined up thinking in Windows Phone overall. I'm signed into Facebook on my phone, and it uses people's profile pictures from Facebook for my address book, saving me from having no pictures for most people. I have Laura's contact page as a tile on my phone screen, and it'll display not just Laura's profile picture, but show what she said today on Facebook too. It was just seamlessly pulled together, which is nice.
The build quality of the Lumia itself is great, and the screen size (4.7") was a big hit with me instantly (this was before anyone knew that Apple would go this way with the iPhone 6). Even after a couple of days, going back to the iPhone 5 to fetch odd bits of data, I realised that I'd struggle to go back to a small screen size. The other bit of the hardware I like is the wireless charging. At the same time I got the phone I got a Wireless Charging Pillow, which is a bit gratuitous, but it's a lovely convenience not having to fiddle with cables just to recharge it over night; when I go to bed, so does the Lumia.
The mixed
The obvious thing that puts people off moving to Windows Phone is that, given its overall lack of popularity, the low number of apps in the app store when compared to iOS and Android. However, I did my homework before I jumped, and knew that most the apps I used daily were on Windows Phone. Social media is well covered, with things like Instagram, FourSquare/Swarm, Facebook, Twitter all there. So is Spotify, which is how I listen to most my music these days. Runkeeper, which I used to track cycling on iOS, was not there, but the competing Runtastic service is, and I could easily migrate my data, so I did.
One of the things I used on my iPhone regularly was a wide range of photography applications. I don't have the bandwidth currently to spend hours with my DSLR, Aperture, and Photoshop, so instead on the iPhone had built up an array of apps I used to try make my Instagram output unique. On Windows Phone there's certainly less to chose from, but it's not totally bereft of photo applications. At the moment I'm mostly relying on Photoshop Express, which is a solid basic editing tool, but I do miss apps for more advanced editing and modification. Still, was able to take, edit, and publish this photo on my phone, so it's not too bad:
There's only been one app where I've found no equivalent, and that's an RSS reader that'll work with my chosen RSS service, Feedbin. There's quite a few that work with the more popular Feedly, but for now I'm using the built in browser to access Feedbin, but that's not nearly as nice on a mobile device as Reeder on iOS.
The camera is another big draw to picking the Nokia device, as they've always had a very good reputation, and as I say, I use my mobile device as my primary camera these days. Unfortunately, here the iPhone does beat it. Although on paper the Nokia camera may be better, its just not as usable as the iPhone's camera for everyday usage. The Nokia camera is slower to focus, and slower to start, so the iPhone is much better for that capturing a moment instantly use case. On the flip side you do tend to get a lot more detail with the Nokia camera, but the iPhone is good enough on that for the majority of people. The Nokia camera is far from bad, and I've take some pictures I'm really pleased with, but the iPhone camera is just much more usable overall.
The bad
My main gripe with Windows Phone to date is the email client. Out of the box it assumes that we're living in 1998, and thus tries to use the network as little as possible, only caching the last seven days of email, and not downloading images. In 2014 this is not what I'd expect as the default on the top of the line smartphone. But even with those options set to something more sensible, the client is just a bit more rough that its iPhone equivalent. Apple have made it very easy to flick through your email at speed: reading this, deleting that, and so on. Getting through my email on Windows Phone is just much slower. To delete a single email requires a mode change, a select, and a confirm, with my fingers moving up and down the screen. on the iPhone it's a simple swipe and tap in a single location. My hope is Maestro, which goes into Beta next week, will provide a nicer alternative.
With the app ecosystem it's a similar complaint: it's not the lack of apps that's the problem, but the lack of quality in the apps that are there. Even some of the apps from famous names that have lovely iOS apps, their Windows Phone apps just feel like they just left it to the intern to knock up over the weekend. I'm hugely grateful that there's anything from 1password on Windows Phone at all, but boy does their Windows Phone app aspire to be done by an intern. The only exception to this rule is the first party apps. For example, the Xbox Smart Glass app on Windows Phone is absolutely wonderful to use – and shows you that you can write awesome Windows Phone apps that will stand proud alongside apps on iOS in terms of features, ease of use, and aesthetics; it just seems other people aren't willing to put in the effort.
A small thing: there's no timer app built in, which to me is insane, and reduces the functionality of Cortana when compared to Siri by half (i.e., half the time I used Siri was to set a timer when cooking :).
Finally, there's a few UI bits that just don't sit right with me. Windows Phone phones have three hardware buttons below the screen, back, home, and search, and the functionality of the back button is context sensitive, thus at times confusing. Let's use the mail application as an example. In normal use I'll launch the mail app, see my inbox, and then drill down to a specific email, and press back to return to my inbox. That to me makes sense, and I'm happy. However, if I pick up my phone, see I have 8 mail notifications, and select the first email to read, back takes me to whatever I was doing before I looked at that notification, not as I anticipate to my inbox so I can see the other emails waiting for me.
Although the back button is simple to describe as a rule (takes you to the last screen you saw across all applications), because what it does is context sensitive it works against my muscle memory for how to navigate through applications. There is no alternative either: once in a mail via notification, I just simply can't get to my other email without going out of mail and coming back in. I can see a certain design rational for this, but in practice it just is annoying, and now if I have mail notifications I tend to go and find the application to read them rather than clicking on the notification.
Overall, if you just want a phone that works all the time, I'm afraid I'd still recommend an iPhone over a Windows Phone; but I do enjoy using Windows Phone and am in no rush to give it up. As technologists it's part of our job to understand all the alternatives, and this is a nice reminder of what life is like outside the iOS ecosystem (and I still have my iPad, which I'm in no rush to replace with a Surface :).
Window Phone is clearly still evolving as Microsoft try to up their game. Each update I get adds some great new bits and pieces to the underlying OS. I think the shame will be if Windows Phone never gets the app developers it deserves. I suspect there's a small, but reasonable business out there for the first company that actually builds a suite of apps worthy of the platform underneath them.]]>
Getting here hasn't been easy, mostly due to the unfortunate demise of the electric vehicle distribution company I was buying the bike through. Thankfully with lots of help from Laura, and help from Brammo's main European sales rep, a bike is now in my position, and I'm delighted.
Unfortunately, no review on living with it for a while. We essentially have had to import the bike ourselves, so it needs to be registered with the DVLA etc., so it'll be another couple of weeks before I can get it on the road. But at least from here, with the bike in my possession, it's easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel.]]>

Dear write "Another American who contracted the Ebola virus, the white Dr. Kent Brantly, survived with the help of dramatic medical intervention."
This is a inaccurate statement as the previous person WAS NOT AMERICAN. It seems odd to cry about treatment of oneself when oneself has misrepresented oneself and put a nation of people at risk. For all purposes SHOOTING at the boarder by common law is legally acceptable (if he attempted to gain entry into the country after being honest about his contact with Ebola 4 days prior).
Now i don't believe that should have been done at all but there is no legal case here because it is his lies that initiated these events. I am sure money grubbing lawyers would think different.

Of course many vets M & F cannot get medical or psyc help. But the ladies don't have specialists.
Read: "Army Sgt. Ashley Morris, who worked as an operating room technician for six months in 2008-2009 at a military hospital in Baghdad's Green Zone that treated soldiers hit by suicide bombs or wounded in firefights, said that promised transformation is badly needed. She returned having flashbacks and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, and spent a month hospitalized in a psychiatric facility in Pueblo, Colorado."
Yeah why was this even here, ok yeah pysc issues like i was saying.
We are giving more care when services are not offered to females and referred them to specialists at higher rates… but its awful that you have to drive for those.
Question how many of your insurance pay for your travel fare? Ahh the humanity.
Do you really want a full time gynecologist on call in a clinic that may only have several physicians in the first place? Not all medical issues of the 1/10th of the veterans that make up the female portion are gynecologically related. Say that even 1/3rd are thats 1 in every 30 physicians that would need to be gynecologists (an over estimate to be sure). In a clinic it makes no sense to staff one. Heck there are small hospitals that don't have those number of staffed doctors (visiting or following is a different story ).
Can we at least examine the real issues here and not include confusing drivel.

Matthew 5:
31 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
31 "It was said, ' Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce'; 32 but I say to you that everyone who [Or: sends away, releases]divorces his wife, except for the reason of unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a [Or: sent away]divorced woman commits adultery.
1 Corinthians 7:
10 Now to the married I command, yet not I but the Lord: A wife is not to depart from her husband. 11 But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

Actually, less men than 40 years ago engage in sex. What men do get is sex without commitment at higher rates , because you know your sexist bias is showing. After all MEN hate commitment and marriage they hate love, and they hate families. So yeah this is a super good deal for them. Men love it when they are 37 married for 5-12 years and the wife wants a divorce because she disinterested in him, Makes him feel real good, thats why they kill themselves so often after this happens because well' **** their life is fulfilled.
A small % of males will sleep with far larger % of females. What this means is that for most females they get to sleep with hunks etc. where far more average and below average men get to sleep is FAR fewer women (have less sex). I don't want to go through all the statistics, but use some basic logic which sex is more picky about who they sleep with. Which ever sex that is gets a better "deal" from non-committal sex. [This is simple logic and math]

Thank you all for this discussion.
@Max jones – i am happy for you that you have a wonderful relationship and i believe that people can find people to love etc. but its risky.
@yrifle0tedkennedyscar1 – the term fornicator in the bible is suspect; more accurately it represents those who engage in prostitution and or incest; but it may or may not include other sexual deviations (there are good arguments both ways, and in cases like this i say let god judge this, but i do not fornicate).
@ BeecaBoo – I hope they do keep me happy, doubt it but its better than the game system less 50% of the 50% my my paycheck the gov. didn't already take for crap the ex wants … i mean "child support". I promise nothing is more respectful then TELLING SOMEONE THE TRUTH. I am not going to treat females like they are less human or less worthy than me.
@ Livinitup – Care to define "man up" ? Is it putting yourself in a bad situation because someone wants to take advantage of you; wherein one side devoid of logic and truth only engages in personal identity attacks?
@ PatriotMamaOfSeven – Well your posy sounds like antisemitism. I mean sounds like so i didn't make and argument. I just commented on the general tone, in lue of an actual argument i attempted to disparage you with a negative label.

So are videos games so freaking amazing then someone who would love and cherish you or could it possibly be that there is a greater than 50% chance that these women will NOT LOVE AND CHERISH THEM and they know it. So they pick the smart of two options. Its so hard to do logic.

No he is not, because he doesn't understand the issue. Guys are not doing this because of god (or the lack there of), because someone told them they don't have to, or because of the other things to do (although this one does have an impact). Guys are doing this because women are a bad deal.
The divorce rate is above 50% (add in long term cohabitation separation with kids its higher), the #1 reason for divorces are disinterest (sometimes label as fell out of love) with women filing for 70% of the divorces and men being 3-4 times more likely to never see it coming. Its the results of the end is what scary. Its the end of a future (that this guy wants males to seek) you lose a ton then you have to continually pay a ton, you will not get custody (or even remotely equal time) of your kids (why do you children need their family blown up in the first place). And what women is gonna be like oh yeah that guys is cool with his inability to bring anything economic the the relationship.
Its a massive risk and the government encourages it, the women go to their churches; well he was bad w/e, they let them off. Well these women PICKED THOSE MEN didn't they. They don't own any responsibility, and the church and this guy here, isn't talking about that are they. Why simple males are disposable step up men into the meat grinder.
Understand people work off of incentives and the counter, if there is a global trend ask a bit deeper to why?
Oh ps how many women want nice/good men… heh

@ David-FL
"Matthew 5:27 You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
When you can actually read Greek, 'Matthew 5:27 You have heard that it was said, do not have unlawful intercourse with a man's women. 28 I moreover say to you everyone that look upon a man's wife to covet her, already has had unlawful sex with her in his heart."
Hehe if you keep reading it goes to state why ~40% of Christians are living in the sin of divorce (and no annulments are not real, save for 3 reasons (technically 4) [maybe another time]).
Odd how people like to pick and choose.

Ranger is 100% correct.
This society has little to offer males, little to bribe them with (yes this is what RULERS do they bribe the populous), and to add insult to injury they take from them they take soo much of their work/time/effort/essence to line their coffers and bribe other groups.
What do you expect, still we have food and plenty of it but if food shortages ever occur it will be the end if the US that day as there are no ideals or rational reason for its existence save the apathy of the ruled for 'good enough'.
The stats strongly support my position, just look up marriage figures, males living at home, failure to launch, etc. I am lucky enough hat i have a great job, but that is about it, most of society is so toxic relationships (of any nature) are almost impossible to come by.

I dare to wonder how you would feel for walking down a sidewalk, watering your front yeard, withdrawing money from your bank, or any number of other legal activities just to have cops unduly arrest/detain you. Hopefully, for your enjoyment, your child or a family member's child would be with your resulting in you also being charge with child neglect and endangerment (after all its hard to watch them after you have been arrested). Normally, i wouldn't think anyone would want to experience this nor feel these types of situations just, but you seem to think this way; best of luck.

"I know firsthand that if you marry too young you're likely to end up in divorce!" – social factor actually impact this more, however, some people do become more mature as they age. And marriage is hard.
"I was married at 20 and divorced at 25. My ex husband was an overgrown manchild."
And you must have been an overgrown dumbass, I mean YOU MARRIED HIM. You got what you deserved, stop tossing him under the bus.
There are many downsides to waiting to marry and or have sex also its not all good or bad. But generally your right 25-35 is a good age (for guys), and 20-30 is good for girls biologically (reproduction, hormone levels [im actually talking about males and brain development here], etc)

Show synopsis This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1875 Excerpt: ..."As this appeal is made chiefly in behalf of the Negro and coloured race, it may not, sir, be out of place for me to make a few remarks upon that race, more especially as I have seen with regret that their character has of late been misrepresented in England. In giving you my humble opinion of this people, I am also giving that of the Bishop. His Lordship is himself a West Indian. I have been for ten years Lieutenant-Governor and Governor in the West Indies, after having previously lived among the race in Africa. If, therefore, our opinion of the race is erroneous, it is for want of judgment that we err, not for want of experience. We are both of one mind regarding the race as we have seen them. We are not their blind advocates; we are fully sensible of their faults; some of these faults being seemingly inherent in their race; but far more being the bitter results of that accursed institution from which they have been liberated hardly more than a quarter of a century. With all these faults we have recognised in the race qualities entitling them to the love of their fellow-men. They have a singular respect for justice; deal justly with a negro and no severity will be murmured at. They have an intense respect for authority if exercised even with moderate fairness, and they are, on the whole, the most easily governed people that I have ever met with. Their kindness of heart and their good humour even their enemies will admit. They are accused of being idle, but it is only wonderful to me, considering the evil effects of slavery, and especially the stigma that it has cast on honest labour, that they are as industrious as they are." Whilst referring to this subject it seems impossible to resist the temptation to quote the following passage from the sec...

Upset Watch: Five possibilities to keep in mind
Mar 18, 2013, 7:00 PM EST
One of the most entertaining aspects of the NCAA tournament are the upsets that are bound to occur every year. Last season's event featured a pair of 15-seeds winning on the same day, as Lehigh beat Duke and Norfolk State edged out Missouri. There's also the history of at least one 12-seed knocking off a 5-seed, with that happening in every tournament of the new millenium but two (2000 and 2007). So what are some games you should keep an eye on when it comes to possible upsets? Here are five.
1. (11) Belmont over (6) Arizona (West)
Arizona has more size than Belmont in the paint, but this upset possibility focuses on what can happen on the perimeter. The Wildcats' perimeter defense, specifically their defending of the three-pointer, has been a concern for much of the season. Opponents shoot 36% from beyond the arc, and given Belmont's ability to hit the shot this is a concern for Arizona. Kerron Johnson and company make 38.6% of their three-pointers, and they score nearly 33% of their points via the shot. Rebounding is definitely a concern for Rick Byrd's team in this matchup, but if they can convert three-pointers at a rate near their numbers for the season look out.
2. (10) Colorado over (7) Illinois (East)
Illinois' reliance on the three-point shot is no secret, but in the Buffaloes they drew a team that's done a good job of defending the shot. Colorado limits opponents to 32.3% from beyond the arc, a mark that ranks second in the Pac-12. The biggest concern for Illinois is rebounding, an area in which they've struggled all season long. Opponents manage to grab nearly 34% of their missed shots on the season, and with Colorado boasting one of the nation's best rebounders in Andre Roberson this is an area the Buffaloes can exploit. And look for Spencer Dinwiddie, their best perimeter defender, to match up with Brandon Paul for much of the night.
(CLICK HERE: To browse through the rest of our 2013 NCAA Tournament Previews)
3. (12) Oregon over (5) Oklahoma State (Midwest)
The Ducks were shown no respect by the selection committee in regards to their seeding. But the committee made up for that by placing them in San Jose against the 5-seed Oklahoma State. Oregon has athletic wings such as seniors Carlos Emory and freshman Damyean Dotson, which will help them when it comes to matching up with Le'Bryan Nash. And with their size inside the Ducks have the tools needed to exploit Oklahoma State's defensive rebounding issues. The concern: Marcus Smart. Oregon's small at the point with Dominic Artis and Johnathan Loyd, so they'll need to be very good in the areas listed above in order to win.
4. (11) Bucknell over (6) Butler (East)
Dave Paulsen's team has won 12 of its last 13 games, and with senior center Mike Muscala leading the way the Bison are more than capable of doing some damage this week. With Cameron Ayers and Bryson Johnson on the perimeter Bucknell shoots 36% from three, but given the presence of Muscala and their ability to convert inside of the arc it isn't as if the Bison are in danger of becoming overly reliant on the shot. In order to beat the Bulldogs, Bucknell will have to do two things extremely well: don't allow Rotnei Clarke to go off, and keep Butler off the offensive glass. Butler rebounds nearly 37% of their missed shots on the season.
5. (13) South Dakota State over (4) Michigan (South)
Yes Michigan made an appearance on the list of ten teams capable of winning the national title. But that doesn't mean the Wolverines can't be picked off in their first game. This game matches two of the nation's best point guards (Michigan's Trey Burke and South Dakota State's Nate Wolters), so it should come as no surprise that these are two of the most efficient offensive teams in the country. If the Jackrabbits are to pull off the upset, which looks to be a tough chore if you're a fan of advanced stats, they need to do two things: keep Burke out of the lane (far easier said than done) and win the rebounding battle.
Four other games to consider:
- (11) Middle Tennessee (provided they beat Saint Mary's) over (6) Memphis (West)
- (12) California over (5) UNLV (East)
- (10) Cincinnati over (7) Creighton (Midwest)
- (13) Montana over (4) Syracuse (East)
One game to be wary of: (11) Minnesota over (6) UCLA (South)
This is the game many latched onto almost immediately, so much so that Vegas has the Gophers down as a three-point favorite. But even with UCLA's poor rebounding (Minnesota is the best offensive rebounding team in the country) and the broken foot suffered by Jordan Adams, calm down. Minnesota enters the contest having lost seven of its last ten games, and while that came against Big Ten competition it isn't a lock that the proverbial light bulb will turn on for Tubby Smith's team. The Gophers certainly have some advantages they can exploit, but this is by no means a guarantee.

Just before Oakville Delta Bingo was set to close its doors forever, Town council decided to sign an agreement that will keep the Speers Road facility in business.
After months of delays, Town council voted unanimously Monday, to sign the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)'s Charitable Gaming Centre Municipality Agreement (CGCMA), which will permit the introduction of e-Bingo at Oakville's only bingo hall.
Cam Johnstone, owner of Oakville Delta Bingo warned he would be closing the hall today (Oct. 31), if the agreement was not signed, stating it was essential for the revitalization of his business.
Johnstone said the signing of the agreement was not only good for him, but also for his 40 employees, who will get to keep their jobs, and for the 34 local charities, that raise upwards of $750,000 in revenue at the bingo hall annually.
"I'm very pleased," said Johnstone.
"I was very concerned, I was not looking forward to shutting down the hall, so I am ecstatic over the way things have worked out."
Members of council had been and continue to be troubled by numerous aspects of the CGCMA — as well as the OLG's unwillingness to change it.
Councillors said the language of the agreement could allow Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) to be introduced without input from the Town.
And while the contract binds the Town for 16 years, it gives the OLG a 90-day exit clause.
Other concerns were related to cost-recovery.
Johnstone has vowed he will not introduce VLTs at his business without council's consent and the OLG has declared VLTs will not be included in the modernization of charitable gaming.
In the past, these assurances were not enough for council, which wanted the OLG to modify its agreement to ease council's concerns.
But the OLG declined.
So what has changed?
"Nothing has changed really," said Ward 5 Town and Regional Councillor Jeff Knoll.
"We have to be responsive to the concerns of the charitable sector in town. What the Province has done by imposing this agreement on us is essentially pitted us against the charities. We have to fall in their favour in this particular case."
Knoll said when presented with the choice of upsetting local charities, potentially eroding their ability to raise funds for the sake of a principle or signing the agreement and dealing with the possible consequences later, council opted to sign the agreement.
Knoll blasted the OLG for its refusal to listen to the wishes of the municipality and stated he, and the rest of council, would be watching the OLG.
"I'm convinced by the Province's revenue requirements and their apparent zeal for gambling that, at some point, we are going to see the consideration of local casinos," he said.
"I think this is an end run to get into local communities with their casino products."
Not all members of council were unhappy with the signing of the agreement.
Ward 2 Town Councillor Pam Damoff called the decision long overdue as bingo allows so many local charities to raise funds to help the Oakville community.
"This really is something we do need to reconsider and we do need to move forward on," she said.
Johnstone said it will take a lot of work, but he plans to reopen Oakville Delta Bingo tomorrow (Nov. 1).
With the agreement signed, he said he would begin undertaking arrangements to spend between $500,000 to $1 million on renovating the bingo hall to prepare it for e-Bingo.
Johnstone has previously spoken about doubling the number of people he employs to accommodate the coming expansion.

Greater Asian integration
Publication Date : 04-05-2012
Though Asian economies as a whole have so far fared better than Europe and the United States, their need to build a regional firewall against a possible escalation of the global financial crisis is no less imperative.
So the joint announcement by China and South Korea on Wednesday that they will formally start negotiations on a free trade agreement this month is welcome.
South Korea expects the planned deal will increase its GDP growth by around 1 percentage point and create between 190,000 and 250,000 new jobs within five years after its implementation.
Given the huge size of the Chinese economy, the direct impact of the deal on China is understandably less predictable. But the bilateral trade volume that is set to reach US$300 billion by 2015 speaks volumes about the importance of such an agreement.
More importantly, amid rising protectionism and the fragile global recovery, the accord can serve as a much-needed starting point for Asian countries to further deepen economic cooperation and integration.
After seven years of preparation, the forthcoming negotiations between China and South Korea show that Asian policymakers are beginning to pay more attention to the long-term challenges posed by the ongoing global rebalancing and overall structural transformation.
The global crisis is a wake-up call for Asia, which for decades has largely built its economic success on the seemingly insatiable demand from European and US consumers.
To weather a renewed financial crisis and weakened export demand from developed markets, Asian economies must update their growth model to better tap the booming markets at home.
The potential of consumption growth in China, the world's second largest economy, has become more obvious as the country shifts steadily away from its dependence on exports and investment for growth.
The planned FTA between China and South Korea will set a good example of how closer economic integration helps advance bilateral and regional prosperity and stability.
It will also act as foundation and driving force for the proposed three-way China-Japan-South Korea FTA.
It is hoped that more such regional efforts to accelerate economic integration will build a real firewall in Asia against another global crisis.
