Football Federation Australia chief David Gallop dashes state's A-League hopes
- From: Mercury
- March 21, 2014
THE biggest gun in Australian soccer management blew into Hobart yesterday and shot down the state's hopes of joining the A-League any time in the near future.
FFA chief executive David Gallop said having a Tasmanian team in top-flight domestic football was not part of the association's plans.
Gallop said several areas had to be considered in Tasmania before expansion.
"We wouldn't discount it [expansion] down the track and looking at Tasmania at the time but it's not in our short- term plan," he said.
But while Gallop conceded that expanding the A-League is not on the agenda, Melbourne Victory chief executive Ian Robson hinted at an October practice match in Hobart as part of the Victory's regular Tasmanian pre-season camp.
He tipped October 4 as an unofficial date for Tasmanian football fans to pencil in.
"We're starting to pencil some dates in for the next pre-season and when we get a chance we'll confirm those details, but that's one week out from what we think will be round one of the competition," Robson said.
Football Federation Tasmania chief executive Richard Welsh yesterday confirmed Hobart would host the fixture.
"We've tested the market around the state and if we're only going to get one game in 2014 it's likely to be in Hobart again," Welsh said.
"[We're] looking at Twin Ovals, KGV, North Hobart Oval and Blundstone Arena."
Robson also admitted Victory had been disappointed with the crowd of 5290 at Twin Ovals when they took on Western Sydney Wanderers last September.
"When we come back on October 4 again it will give football fans a chance that there is a genuine chance for the game here [in terms of expansion]," Robson said.
Tasmanian fans missed out on an A-League season fixture this season because Victory had commitments with Etihad Stadium and AAMI Park.
However, Welsh was positive a 2015 A-League fixture would be played either in Hobart or Launceston.
"We've got regular matches coming down here from the giant of the A-League in Melbourne Victory," Welsh said.
"If we're to have an A-League team here we need to get 10,000 people or more to [the games]."
LAST year was a historic one for Tasmanian soccer, Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop said at the launch of the Victory League's second season in Hobart yesterday.
"South Hobart reached the [National Premier Leagues] Cup final, seeing the country home in on Tasmania for a national final, giving Tasmanian football a chance to match themselves against others from around the country," he said.
"[Tasmania] has to continue to grow the sport at grassroots level and make sure that there are facilities and infrastructure in place so kids can play football."
Melbourne Victory chief executive Ian Robson said extending the club's partnership with the state beyond 2015 was on the cards.
"We're making significant investment in Tasmania, I think our commitment to the Victory League is the whole picture," he said.
Robson said the club was thrilled with the success of the league in its first year.
The Victory League averaged attendances of 330 spectators per match in 2013, including a maximum crowd of 1200 in the Milan Lakoseljac Cup final.
Round 1 action on the pitch kicks off next Friday with Glenorchy Knights taking on reigning champions South Hobart at KGV Football Park.
The first double header follows the next day with Tilford Zebras tackling Devonport and Olympia facing the Kingborough Lions at KGV.
Launceston City also hosts the Northern Rangers at Mitsubishi Park on Saturday.

we have a team from nz but no chance for tassie or nt. bit like afl isnt it. not quite national is it.
Dan Hendricks of Perth WA Posted at 3:10 PM March 22, 2014
Many a year a ago I went up to York park to watch an A league practice game & it was a great experience but was a little deflating with YP not being a rectangular ground. N.Hobart oval should be the front runner as it has a feeling of being closer to the game. Soccer is played in the summer & Tassie I believe has the best summers in OZ especially in Jan & feb so I could see a side down there doing very well if it ever eventuated. Fix the economy and its half a chance.
Matt Firth of Lindisfarne Posted at 5:53 PM March 21, 2014
It is entirely in line with FFA national policy to not have a team down here and I honestly do not feel Tasmania has the market to support a profitable football team at the moment. Let's concentrate on the FFA Cup and try get some local excitement around the game before we start throwing our hands up in horror because we have not been given an A-League licence. In many respects we are fortunate to have had Gallup visit and give us his honest thoughts. Ben Buckley would have continued to lead us on the merry dance. Now...to settle in and watch Sydney FC v Adelaide.

Great idea well carried out !

Interesting idea . I think you could take this further . Putting the 3 Layers on a new white file and adding dropped shadows or masking out the border between each picture . Just a couple of thoughts !

Why I Refused to Return to Fight in Afghanistan's Brutal Occupation - by Joe Glenton

Seepage and Suffering: Obama's Civil War Scenario For Afghanistan - by Chris Floyd
"So now we know the grand plan of the Peace Laureate (and his wag-tail pack of lapdogs in NATO) [*That's YOU Canada!] for the people of Afghanistan: civil war - facilitating an all-out, full-scale-never-ending-hydra-headed civil war to tear the country to shreds.."
"So now we know the grand plan of the Peace Laureate for the people of Afghanistan: civil war - facilitating an all-out, full-scale-never-ending-hydra-headed civil war to tear the country to shreds.."
It's no grand plan, civil war after the US and NATO leaves is inevitable; the Northern Alliance tribes of the north will fight the Pashtun dominated "Taliban" of the south just like they always have.
The Afghan people will not have won; they will be back to business as usual.
Taylor: Ottawa Happy to Fork out Millions to Prop Up Corrupt, Hated Regime
"The unelected regime of President Hamid Karzai is one of the most hated and mistrusted governments on the planet. WIthout an alternative, NATO has been forced to create a massive security apparatus to keep his government in power. At present, there are close to 400,000 Afghans on the payroll of either the police or the army. The basic costs to maintain this massive establishment comes to about $4.1 billion per year, not including the current expense of untilizing NATO trainers and advisors.
Now that NATO is committed to pulling out in 2014, the central question at the Chicago summit was, who will finance the $4.1 billion cost of the Afghan security forces beyond that date? Happy to oblige, Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged that Canada would contribute $110 million for at least three years, beginning in 2015.
Just like that, Canada has offered to spend millions to finance a corrupt and incompetent security force to prop up a hated regime for three more years..."
and just like that Canadians will swallow it - even as their social safety net disappears before their very eyes.
The Authoritarian Mind - by Glenn Greenwald
"Yet another Afghan family (and a bakery in Pakistan) is extinguished by an airstrike: unleash the justifications..."
Operation Enduring Freedom: A Civilian's View - by Ian Pounds
"I'm out. This will be the first presidential election as an adult I will not vote in. It is, I am saddened to believe, virtually meaningless who wins. Afghanistan is the size of Texas, with only 29 million people. You tell me, Mr President, what ten years, 46 nations, 130,000 troops and half a trillion dollars have done to help the Afghan people build a strong and peaceful democratic society? It could have been different..."
Canada Accused of 'Complicity' in Torture in UN Report
"...The committee's report condemns Canada's practice, during the Afghan mission which ended last year of handing prisoners over to Afghan security forces despite a 'substantial risk' that they would be tortured. In addition, the UN committee recommended that Canada promptly approve the transfer of Omar Khadr from Guantanamo to Canada's custody. The UN panel refers to 'Canadian officials' complicity in the human rights violations of Omar Khadr while detained at Guantanamo.."
and no domestic remedy to either could be achieved by our pols - shocking and shameful
India's Role in Afghanistan
"...And while the Americans had been keeping Pakistan out of the loop of even their now-collapsed peace negotiations with the Taliban, they had nudged Afghan President Hamid Karzai to sign on to a strategic partnership pact with India. This American wish for India's prominent role in Afghanistan has always been there.."

Recently, Barack Obama travelled to Kabul to meet Afghanistan's so-called President Hamid Karzai. Both leaders used this meeting to pretend that they are ending this war when they are really trying to prolong it. Obama knows that the American people are turning against the war, and both men also know that the Afghan people are against not only the war, but the continued occupation of their country.
Both claim that the war will end in 2014, while saying simultaneously that American troops will remain in some capacity until 2024. As 2024 nears, they will probably say they mean to remain in Afghanistan until 2034.
Canadian professor blows lid off of America's phony "war on terrorism"
NATO ♡ Taliban ♥ ♥ "Al-Qa'eda"
Peace Mission Hurts: NATO Will Leave Afghanistan With 'Wounds' (and vid)
"...I think that without exaggeration, it would be safe to say now that the vast majority of the Afghan people have really rebelled against the foreign occupation of their country. The only reason you're seeing more courageous resistance attacks against the coalition forces in Afghanistan, is because the ordinary Afghans are providing sanctuary, providing protection, providing access to the resistance fighters - the Al Qaeda, the Taliban - whatever you want to call it - whatever NATO wants to call them.
And everything you hear, frankly, about winning 'the hearts and minds' is really ancient history. The Americans have absolutely lost it as far as the Afghan people's hearts and minds are concerned...No one has undermined the international system in the 21st century more than NATO and the US, and this is very dangerous..."
Yeah, like they left Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Philippines etc. The Atlantic Alliance has coveted non-Atlantic real estate since way before a cold war got started. The Yanks have been meddling in Asia since before the October Revolution and since Vietnam. This is a map of Central Asia, and Afghanistan is smack dab. How can the US Military leave Afghanistan in a few years if they are embroiled in another war? Afghanistan would be a wonderful staging country for waging blitzkrieg over Iran. It's like making a deal with renowned liars and war criminals. Nothing they say is worth one thin dime. And we can tell they are lying. Whenever their lips move, it's a sure bet they are lying. And lapdog newz media backs-up the lies. The public is lied to constantly.
US Military Thought Canadian Efforts Fell Short in Kandahar - by Mitch Potter
"American reluctance to confront Canada over its weak military hold in Kandahar province was among the costlier blunders of teh war in Afghanistan, a new book alleges. Excerpts published Friday by the Washington Post describe the rising concerns of a team of US military advisers who were stunned in 2009 when an unnamed senior Canadian intelligence officer in Kandahar told them 'I have no idea what's going on inside the city.'.."
there goes some more bs canucklhead mythology of our stellar accomplishments in Afghanistan....
Unfriendly Fire: How the Taliban Mastered the Operational Art of Modern War
"The greatest intellectual challenge in Fourth Generational war against opponents that are not states - is how to fight it at the operational level. NATO in Afghanistan, like the Soviets three decades ago, has been unable to solve that riddle. But the Taliban appear to have done so.
Like the Soviets, we can take and hold any piece of Afghan ground. And doing so brings us, like the Soviets, not one step closer to strategic victory. The Taliban, by contrast, have found an elegant way to connect strategy and tactics in decentralized modern warfare.."
and why the Canadian 'Training' mission is doomed to fail and should be ended asap.
Resistance to the Endless War Interview with Saba Maher, Suraia Sahar and Samira Sayed-Rahman of Afghans for Peace
Ashley Smith: If the U.S. is not developing the country, why is Obama committed to continuing the occupation till 2024?
Samira Sayed-Rahman: I don't believe that it's for any of the reasons that they claimed, whether that's fighting al-Qaeda, enforcing democracy, promoting women's rights or training the Afghan army. There are fewer than 100 al-Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan, so that is a huge joke for us. These are just excuses to stay in Afghanistan longer.
Saba Maher: Maternal mortality is the highest it's ever been in Afghanistan. It's actually the highest rate in the world.
2024. And that will turn out to be a terrible lie because the U.S. Military rarely if ever gives up a colonial outpost toehold if they can help it.
The U.S. Military is there for the long haul. And they intend to continue propping-up the most ruthless motherfuckers they can find in Afghanistan same as they have since the 1980's. Afghans are not winning today. Ordinary Afghans haven't been winning for the last 30 years and counting.

The problem is that neither side can ever admit to being wrong, and so it does come down to pure economics being the catalyst and culmination to this debacle, as people have said all along.

I'm with Milly here. Why would Blair go to Monaco of all places?
Rome is back on the table in the next episode. Just watch the preview.
Zoran, they said the return of the ring not the sudden appearance of a ring.
lol. Even Eric is turning on Dair? Don't worry, there'll be drama next week.
It's friendship only from Blair to Chuck. Watch and see :)
G.Singular, I never said Season 5 Blair was Season 1 Blair. However, Safran himself is the one saying the next episode will be Vintage Blair. And the use of the word "Vintage" does imply that Blair in Season 5 isn't like Blair in Season 1 which should make sense. Characters should change. For the better or worse is debatable, of course. However, saying that the mere fact that Blair is with Dan means she's not her real self is ridiculous. And claiming that Season 1 Blair wasn't whiny when she was, and also very insecure is ignoring the story and making up your own version. Plus your blind hatred of Dan is ridiculous. Dan has acted no worse than Chuck, Blair or Serena in this season but you want him lost on an island. Anyway, I don't want to fight here so this will be my last post.
One final comment. I do apologize for calling people silly. I shouldn't make personal attacks.
And to say Blair wasn't whiny in Season 1? "You take everything from me!" doesn't ring a bell? Blair was very insecure in Season 1 and that drove a lot of her actions.
How dumb. Blair can't be herself if she's emotionally attached to Dan Humphrey? How very silly of you.
Laura, you're not the only one. Lots of people like Dair.

MA in Literature
The MA program in literature is a vital and exciting program that brings together dedicated scholar-teachers and a varied group of students. This program appeals to:
- recent college graduates and returning students planning to pursue doctoral studies in English or comparative literature
- recent college graduates or returning students interested in pursuing careers as professors, teachers, editors, and writers
- career professionals exploring the possibility of a career change
- current teachers seeking to update their credentials and develop their skills
- individuals seeking a broad background in literature for professional enhancement
Program Overview
The literature master's degree program at American University offers students challenging courses in a wide variety of areas. Faculty are outstanding scholars who are deeply engaged in their fields of intellectual inquiry. In graduate seminars and other courses with unique — often interdisciplinary — topics, students develop intellectual confidence and strengthen their skills in critical reading and analytical writing. Courses, supplemented by our Graduate Speaker Series, focus not only on traditional periods and national literatures but on African, African American, and Asian American literatures; Latin American and other literatures in translation; literary theory; feminist theory; and cinema. Because our department also offers an MFA in Creative Writing, students in the master's degree program have the opportunity to study with distinguished creative writers as well.

I am currently trying out sublime text and really like it.
I was wondering whether a feature could be added so that from the context menu I can open folders in sublime.
P.S.: I hate the icon.

What would you expect to happen when you open a folder?

I will have an hour or two in the garment district. Where should I go? I really only purchase stretch fabric jerseys cotton or poly. I really could use tshirt fabric must pick up serger thread and sewing machine thread.
Thanks in advance.
------Jennie, Washington DC
B&J's is my favorite these days. They have a really great selection of the knits you are looking for, good light, and and really good customer service. Prices are not rock-bottom but fair., and the quality is really good They don't carry thread, but many of the good fabric stores in NY don't.
My all around favorite is Metro Textiles. Kashi has a great variety of knits right now (and always). He is really helpful and his prices are low.
I was just there today :-)
And last week as well

Last time I was at New York Elegant Fabrics, they had a lot of solid cotton knits (but no white or black). I'm sure the selection changes all the time, but at the time I wrote this review. http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/store/2332
Spandex World is one of my favorites for knit jersey. Be sure to go upstairs as well.
It depends on how much you want to spend and the fibers you are looking for. I don't like Metro all that much because there are so many poly knits which I don't wear. I do sew a great many knits and
I find Mood is a good all around place and they have a lovely selection of knits in all fibers. If you only have a few hours it's a good choice.
If you really want a good deal on thread I'd mail order it from Wawak. They frequently have sales on thread and the prices are very good. Better than I've found in the Garment District.
I was just in the garment district the beginning of this week. Mood has the best variety of fabrics. I was not looking for knits so can't help you there but must say the staff at Paron's was great and so were the prices. Don't miss all the lights and decorations at Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center if you are still in the city at night.

I live in NYC and I frequent Metro, Mood and Paron's, and occasionally B&J. I haven't been to Spandex World in a little while.
Metro (37th betw 7th and 8th) - be prepared to poke around! The prices are good, $6/yd -$8/yd for most stretch fabrics. Kashi has some rayon but as another poster wrote, most are poly.
Paron's (39th betw 7th and 8th) selection of stretch fabrics okay. If you do go, do a search for it on Groupon - there's a deal there, $20 for a $40 coupon, $40 for a $100 coupon.
Mood (37th betw 7th and 8th) is fantastic. I try not to go there because it makes my little head spin.
For large spools of thread, there is Daytona Trimmings, on 39th between 7th and 8th. There is at least one other newer notions store on that block, same side of the street. -- Edited on 1/1/14 11:46 AM --
I'll be in NYC tomorrow for a day of fabric shopping. Adding B&J to my list.

text: Rule 5 is like if the pumpkin is somehow lost. Like we lose sight of it for any reason and can't figure out where it landed. I think if a pumpkin explodes at launch time we can also give the team one more chance if they have a spare. I'm not sure how I feel about having multiple launchers... On the one hand having more launchers means more interesting things and ideas to display, i.e. more fun. On the other hand I fear people might feel like it gives the team some kind of unfair advantage like they have more chances to win. I think since this is a contest each time should just choose whatever design they think will be the winner. If you want to bring an extra launcher to have fun and launch some pumpkins that would be perfectly acceptable outside of the competition itself.

location: apple.com - date: February 1, 2013
I've updated ios 6.1. The phone went off durign the night (it had 60% battery).Now it only turns on plugged to the wall socket (not if I plug it to the USB port) and it shows the "iOS 6 Configuration" screen, telling me to connect to iTunes, but if I unplug it to connect to the USB, it turns off.If I plug it to the USB, it keeps showing the little apple, and turns off, again and again. It never gets to the same screen of the "iOS 6 configuration".I can´t seem to turn it on with de DFU mode plugged to the computer.

This process has been ongoing for over 12 hours. In addition, the iPad's screen flashes on and off every 30 seconds with just an Apple Logo displaying. PLEASE HELP ME . . .
