Toronto FC looked like they might be able to snap their nine-game MLS winless streak and give the few fans who still made it out to BMO Field on Saturday something to cheer about. Unfortunately for TFC, another late goal allowed provided yet another disappointing finish in a nightmare season.
Philadelphia Union defender Sheanon Williams delivered an 85th-minute equalizer, finishing off an Antoine Hoppenot pass to help the Union escape Toronto with a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
After a scoreless first half, it was Toronto that looked poised for a win when Eric Hassli finished off a Luis Silva pass in the 58th minute. The Union, which enjoyed the edge in possession for much of the afternoon, couldn't muster quality chances on goal until the 85th minute, when Hoppenot slotted a low pass toward the front of goal that found Williams for the equalizer.
The draw pushed Philadelphia's current winless streak to seven matches, and also marked the Union's fourth draw in five matches.
Here are the match highlights:
What did you think of the match? Any encouraging signs for the Union? Has this been the toughest of all the seasons to be a Toronto FC fan?
Share your thoughts below.
Williams is a legit NT RB contender.
Always liked Sheanon. Nice tools and skill set for a back. Would love to see him take a shot at Europe and be groomed as Depth for Dolo or a possible replacement I don't see much else at rb for USA, ESP since Lichaj is apparently invisible to Klinsi.
No they dont
You have got to be kidding. He has a long way to go before being considered NT material. One little tap in for a goal does not make him worthy of such praise. He had a number of weak passes and lack of continued effort today – like the entire team. I like Williams but his skill set really is not that extensive – as of now.
Where are all the Union fans?
5 comments. Wow, that must have been a riveting match…
Cholmondeley Warner
No way was that crowd 15,000, more like half that, MLSE lying as usual
Esteban de la Sexface
This game was terrible and a true waste of 90 min. of my life. Neither team is any good and Philly has regressed since Hackworth's first handful of games. Philly has no midfield presence and they give the ball away with ease. Up top, McInerney is getting worse and Adu is hopeless as well. Hoffman came in and did nothing as well. Philly has been bad for the past few games. Perhaps it's time for Hackworth to give Torres a shot with an extended run in the side.

Bearing Witness to Tar Sands Resistance: Dispatch #4
capitalism doesn't make it easy, it makes it almost (or sometimes entirely) impossible to survive. our perfectly flawed system has constructed a persistent pattern: exploitation begets exploitation. as we are exploited by our bosses and by the state, we are also tools for exploitation. many of the people i've met here- in Fort McMurray, in Hardisty, in Amisk, in Edmonton- are, have been or know someone who ...Read more ›

Mediocre Feel
Ok so I'm a die-hard God of War fanboy. I pre-ordered this game as soon as they announced the game. But after playin it, there's definitely something lacking. There was air of mediocrity surrounding the game. I think think it was a good game, but God of War quality we expect. Now yes the story was weak but so were the PSP ones but I still thought those were amazing. Then bame it hit me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nplCABR24CY that is the boss fight with Pollux and Castor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLv8Wj_M10g this is the boss fight with Hercules from God of war 3.
Notice the main difference? THE MUSIC. The music in Ascension was so low and it wasn't because of the audio glitches people have been complaining about (I never even noticed them because the sound was too low to begin with). The music in all the otehr games were loud and epic and made the games feel awesome but Ascension, they just put the music in the back and for me made the game feel more mediocre than it really is.
Re: Mediocre Feel
1 - The music is indeed almost absent from the game. There is no "amped up" grand theme being played while you are trekking around looking for the next task.
2 - Far too many platforming areas and not nearly enough combat. The bulk of my deaths were from the sliding and QTE Action sequences that seemed to fill up the game, not because of difficult battles. I always hated sections that just required you to slide down an area and move quickly in order to avoid instant death. Things like the chain sections in GoW III, or the trek across the bridge in what I believe was GoW II where you had to press the button at the right time and move at the right moment in order to avoid death. In this game, there is one of those long sections every other "chapter" it seems.
3 - Lack of variety in the enemies. We seemed to only have a handful of enemies in the game and most of the game was spent traversing the platforming sections without any real battles to worry about. When there were battles, they just seemed to be like they were plopped in there for the heck of it and not with any real reason.
4 - The parry system. Here's where we get into the multiplayer being forced into the series causing problems with the singleplayer. In order to make things "easier" for the multiplayer aspect they copied over the same parry system. It just flat out doesn't feel right in the singleplayer.
5 - Removing the ability to save the game. They had this done beautifully and perfectly in all other games in the series, but borked it for this one. You are no longer able to make multiple saves for the game and have to rely on the buggy game code to remember to autosave for you. If your profile gets corrupted, you are completely S.O.L. as there is nothing you can do but completely start over. This was a horrible design choice by the developers and I would love to hear their explanation as for why they think this idiotic system is better than the existing one.
6 - Lack of narration. All other games had a pretty good balance of narration which would flesh out the story mode in the game and give some good detail about where you were and what you were doing. Whether it was the off-screen narrator, or on-screen NPC interactions, you had a good idea of where you were, why you were there, and what you were doing. In this game, they jump around with present time, two weeks ago, present time, three weeks ago, present time, etc. etc. After a while, you soon lose track of where exactly you are and why the heck you are even there. Now I don't want to be hand-held and given the story like it's a children's bedtime story, but I'd like to have an idea on where in the Greek pantheon I am. As the furies had the ability to use illusions to trick Kratos, did all of the story take place in the prison of the damned? Where was this prison located? There just wasn't any real tie into real Greek locations like the other three games had.
7 - The game was very short. I'm sorry, but this had the length of the story that I would have expected if this was on the PSP, not the PS3. I expected to play this game for more than just a couple of days before I had beaten it. So much time was spent just walking around in areas where no enemies existed that it made the game feel empty and even shorter. Throw in the incredibly lackluster musical score for the game, and it just felt let down.
8 - Nixing the "mini-game". This one didn't really bother me a great deal as I don't play GoW to assuage my sexual desires, but I did notice that it was missing from the game and it is a feature that has been in every single GoW game since the beginning. Yes, at the beginning of the game there's the room with all the ladies in there, but there is no interactive "game" like we've seen in each of the other games. Made it feel like the game itself had something missing from it.
9 - No Challenges of the gods/titans/olympus/etc. in the game. While I generally struggle mightily with these things and don't usually complete them, their absence, like the sex mini-game, is noticeable as it's a feature that has been present in every single GoW game ever made.
Sadly, I think that the focus on shoe-horning multiplayer into a singleplayer only series resulted in a lot of these deficiencies and overall mediocrity of the game. After playing this game, and knowing that multiplayer is likely to be included in any future game in the series, I have no good expectations at all about any further God of War games.
Re: Mediocre Feel
When it is playing, it is silent by design and too quiet. Also, it does nothing for me. Even music for derping about in GoW1 was a good listen.
>too much platforming
And it was useless platforming that lacked combat or challenge. One rope (no combat). Lots of walls, but they're all point-to-point (not free-form with combat) *no ceilings*. No beams. Two small swim sections with no puzzles, no chests, no hidden areas (more chests and optional fights), etc. GoS and GoW1 are better models for water sections. The sliding of GoS was made even more pervasive and boring. Not much of any real jump platforming. GoW1 had plenty of that. They're too far removed from GoW1 in general. The platforming they have is crap, so it is hard to stomach. I'd rather it wasn't there.
>not nearly enough combat
Most especially with interesting foe mixes and interesting places to fight (with interesting tools). Lots of bland scenarios with the same trash mobs.
More than usual and used less effectively.
>GoWII bridge
That's pretty easy, it is over with quickly and happens just the one time. As you note, GoW:A keeps pulling this crap. Once is enough. More than enough. Stop.
>lack of enemy variety
Talos, Satyr Grunts, Parasites, Harpies, Manticore Spawn, etc. Very pervasive. Became very boring, very quickly. They didn't port nearly enough of GoWIII's beasts into this to vary things up. Not remotely enough.
I'll not go into it again after the last time a few hours ago. Same for rage.
A hideous change. GoWIII was praised for its system and this one takes that away.
>their explanation
Something about Chapter Select might be invoked. Not sure why, but that's what I'd expect.
It was there, but didn't do anything for me (just like the story that did nothing with the potential of the material and time it had to work with).
>jump around
I loathed this. Once right at the start is more than enough. Not having us gaining abilities and changing 'times' while keeping what we get (story confusion aside).
Presumably Tartarus (which is looking awfully beautiful since GoWIII's wasteland and CoO's damp, dark, gloomy cave).
>very short
If it were good, this would be excusable. Also, if the length wasn't owed to filthy navigation and puzzles with trash mob respawn filler and other such trickery. Cutscenes and visual cues...
>areas with no foes
Like a handheld entry.
>sex mini-game
A tradition lost. At least Boat Captain got a mention, but it wasn't a cameo. We were even at a damned Harbor. Might have been comical if he were on the boat that took us to Delos only to get crushed by Ally (he survives). "You again!" - Boat Captain
>something missing
Lots. We don't kill any innocents. We don't sacrifice any or even beasts in a brutal fashion. We do 'burn' some for an elevator at least. No murder puzzles at all. The closest to it was with the Martyr. Kratos feels OC. I can even make him walk backwards (something they kept droning on about how he would never do that as part of his character). This besides now making upskirting Kratos a highlight of this entry (twice).
>no 'Challenges'
No f***ing 'Arena' either. The Extras videos? Crap that is already online. Nothing about dropped material (a tradition). Costumes? MP champion with MP sets...and not even all of them. Why not Kratos in them? Why do they not have special stats? Why is Chapter Select so limited? Why is NG+ so limited? Why have an artifact for 10x EXP when you have nothing to spend it on (forced MAX upgrades)? How hard would it have been to put Kratos into their silly 'Trial of the Gods' to run around to solo the trash mobs? Not. Very. Why just time attack anyway? Why not survival and other modes? Why not a Temple of the Gods with high EXP costs to unlock worthwhile crap (helps make use of the EXP we'll have and nothing to spend it on). Artemis could have been the Gravedigger (GoS) of this entry for the Arena even if I hated the design they were going with. Why didn't the hidden message reward with a massive EXP fountain? Why weren't there UBER chests to find?
The list of complaints could go on and on. Especially with combat design.
>MP is to blame
You better believe it. This was the expected outcome (maybe not bringing it down this low, but low, yeah).
>likely to not be going away
Not even to be blamed for the poor sales or franchise damage. Even if it is, they're not smart enough to stop and apologize for their deliberate disregard of consumer (fan) desire.
>no good expectations for the future
Nor should you.
Poseidon: >no Arena
Right you are. A particularly offensive failing for me especially. It's like they were actively looking for ways to **bleep** me off.
Re: Mediocre Feel
The gods overestimate themselves.

We Were Sick
By The Thermals
The Thermals have just released their latest album, 'Now We Can See,' a pure and simple jettison of pop punk; and this, their second single from this album is certainly all you've come to expect from the infectious Portland trio.
The great thing with The Thermals is that they found a winning formula and stuck with it religiously. Crunchy guitars, poppy melodies and a bit of lyrical intelligence. It's essentially the same song every time, but it works. There's a sense of humour in 'We Were Sick,' as Hutch Harris deals with some pretty heavy notions of the greed and negligence of mankind, to the tune of this innocuous little punk ditty.

Cubs Talk Podcast: Breaking down the World Series hangover
Cubs Talk Podcast: Breaking down the World Series hangover
Do the Cubs have a World Series hangover?
On the latest edition of the Cubs Talk Podcast, NBC Sports Bay Area Giants Insider Alex Pavlovic joins CSN's Patrick Mooney to talk about the World Series hangover, how last year's playoff loss lingered in San Francisco, Johnny Cueto's quirks, the legend of Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija's ups and downs.
Plus Kelly Crull, Jeff Nelson and Tony Andracki break down the Cubs' defensive struggles this year compared to an historic 2016 and how Ian Happ fits into the Cubs' lineup in both the short and long term.
Listen to the latest episode below:
What does Caleb Swanigan's departure for NBA mean for Purdue and the 2018 Big Ten title race?
What does Caleb Swanigan's departure for NBA mean for Purdue and the 2018 Big Ten title race?
Caleb Swanigan, unsurprisingly, is heading to the NBA.
Last season's Big Ten Player of the Year announced Wednesday that he'll pass up the final two seasons of his NCAA eligibility for a paying gig at the professional level, an awesome opportunity for a kid who battled obesity and homelessness to become one of the best basketball players in the country.
But Swanigan's departure from West Lafayette means a heck of a lot to the Big Ten.
Without the league's most dominant big man, what becomes of Purdue's chances at winning a conference title? Similarly, with a weakened — though still strong — group of Boilermakers, what does the Big Ten race look like going into 2017-18?
First, Purdue. Matt Painter's program is plenty healthy, and while there's no doubt that losing Swanigan is a big deal, the Boilers got some really good news, too, Wednesday when Vincent Edwards announced he'll be returning for his senior season. Seven-footer Isaac Haas also made the decision to return to West Lafayette, meaning the towering frontcourt hasn't been completely decimated just because tha man called "Biggie" is gone.
Purdue will also return Carsen Edwards, who had an impressive freshman campaign, and Dakota Mathias, a terrific defender and 3-point shooter. Two more important pieces — P.J. Thompson and Ryan Cline — are back, as well. And Painter will welcome in freshman Nojel Eastern, a highly touted guard from Evanston.
So the Boilers are still in very good shape. There will be a big magnifying glass on Haas, who despite his physical attributes hasn't always found consistent on-court success. But there have been plenty of flashes of brilliance from the big man. A big step forward in his game would go a long way in easing the blow of losing Swanigan and could keep Purdue as one of the frontrunners for a conference title.
That brings us to the Big Ten race. Ever since Miles Bridges, the conference's reigning Freshman of the Year, announced he'd be returning to Michigan State for his sophomore season, the Spartans have been the near-unanimous favorite. Only something like Swanigan deciding to stay at Purdue could've changed that. And with Swanigan expectedly heading to the NBA, Michigan State remains the preseason pick to win the conference crown.
Like any good year in the Big Ten, though, there will be challengers.
But Michigan State is the popular choice to win it because of Tom Izzo's insane 2016 recruiting class is returning completely intact: Bridges, Nick Ward, Cassius Winston and Joshua Langford are all back. And Izzo brings in one of the top 2017 recruits in forward Jaren Jackson.
But Sparty isn't the only one with an impressive returning group. Purdue's experienced roster has already been covered. Northwestern, a surprise contender in 2016-17, should be even better as Bryant McIntosh, Vic Law and Scottie Lindsey enter their fourth year playing together. Dererk Pardon, a shot-blocking whiz at center, is also back, as is sharp-shooter Aaron Falzon, who sat out the 2016-17 season with an injury after starting during his freshman year in 2015-16.
There will be big shoes to fill for some perennial contenders like Maryland — which must replace Melo Trimble — and Michigan, which watched eligibility run out on Derrick Walton Jr. and Zak Irvin before D.J. Wilson decided to head to the professional ranks Wednesday. But those teams have plenty of talent returning, too. The Terps will have all three of their fab freshmen — Justin Jackson, Anthony Cowan and Kevin Huerter — back for sophomore seasons, while the Wolverines have Moe Wagner back in the fold alongside Xavier Simpson and Duncan Robinson, among others.
And what of last year's shocking contender, Minnesota? The Golden Gophers didn't lose too much this offseason and will return almost every main player from last year's 24-10 squad: Amir Coffey, Nate Mason, Reggie Lynch, Jordan Murphy, Dupree McBrayer and Eric Curry.
There are up-and-comers to think about, too, such as last year's freshman-heavy squads at Iowa and Penn State. And could new head coaches Brad Underwood and Archie Miller make instant splashes at Illinois and Indiana, respectively?
If it sounds a little too much like the annual coach speak that "any team can win on any night" in the Big Ten, that's because there is a good deal of truth to that oft-used phrase.
There are definitely tiers to this thing, though. Even without Swanigan, Purdue is still in one of those upper tiers. But there might be no team besides Michigan State at the very top of the heap, something underscored by Swanigan turning pro.

Street Smart

Bisher € 47,93
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
September 2005
BeschreibungNew York has appeared in more movies than Michael Caine, and the resulting overfamiliarity to moviegoers poses a problem for critics and filmmakers alike. Audiences often mistake the New York image of skyscrapers and bright lights for the real thing, when in fact the City is a network of clearly defined villages, each with a unique personality. Standard film depictions of New Yorkers as a rush-hour mass of undifferentiated humanity obscure the connections formed between people and places in the City's diverse neighborhoods. Street Smart examines the cultural influences of New York's neighborhoods on the work of four quintessentially New York filmmakers: Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Spike Lee. The City's heterogeneous economic and ethnic districts, where people live, work, shop, worship, and go to school, often bear little relation to the image of New York City created by the movies. To these directors, their home city is as tangible as the smell of fried onions in the stairwell of an apartment building, and it is this New York, not the bustling, glittery illusion portrayed in earlier films, that shapes their sensibilities and receives expression in their films. Richard A. Blake shows how the Jewish enclaves on Manhattan's Lower East Side profoundly influence Sidney Lumet's most noted characters as they struggle to form and maintain their identities under challenging circumstances. Both Woody Allen's light comedies and his more serious cinematic fare reflect the director's origins in the Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn and the displacement he felt after relocating to Manhattan. Martin Scorsese's upbringing on Elizabeth Street in Manhattan's Little Italy resonates in his gritty portraits of urban modernity. Blake also looks at the films of Spike Lee, whose adolescence in Fort Greene, a socioeconomically diverse Brooklyn neighborhood, exposed him to widely ranging views that add depth to his complicated treatises on power, culture, and race. Lumet, Allen, Scorsese, and Lee's individual identities were shaped by their neighborhoods, and in turn, their life experiences have shaped their artistic vision. In Street Smart, Richard A. Blake examines the critical influence of "place" on the films of four of America's most accomplished contemporary filmmakers.
PortraitRichard A. Blake, S.J., codirector of the Film Studies Program at Boston College, has served as an editor of America magazine for fourteen years, where he has been reviewing films for the past thirty years.

Who Am I? A question I often ask myself
I am a freelance writer who supplies high quality written work and will not sacrifice quality for quantity or speed. I am a sucker for research ensuring quality and factual accuracy for my clients. My portfolio of samples reflect my abilities in different areas of freelance writing. I adhere to agreed deadlines and on times have the capacity to accept urgent work.
My background as a police officer, where submitting reports and statements in a concise, factual and compelling manner was a necessity and secondly as a manager for a homeless charity where it was necessary to submit reports, business plans and presentations in a succinct and passionate format.
I have a NVQ 4 in Management through the Chartered Management Institute and I am a qualified A1 Assessor. I have also attended a Guardian Masterclass in Long-form Travel Writing.
Our family has also provided respite care for children with disabilities and foster care for unfortunate children. My wife is a child minder so I am regularly involved for the caring of young children.
I am available via Skype, Yahoo and Google messenger.
Service Description
I will consider any form of writing as long as it does not involve technical knowledge outside my comfort area.
I have experience at article writing and re-writing, spinning including using the spin format, web content, SEO and blogs.
Research is a speciality.
The following comments are from Mike Carter, author, travel writer and sub-editor for The Guardian newspaper, on an article I wrote for a course he tutored.
"A travel writer is essentially a storyteller, and you tell a lovely little story here. I like the fact that your introduction is from a static perspective, allowing us through you to watch the world pass by. This works very well here and immediately introduces a sense of calm and tranquillity – you have "shown" us this, not "told" us."
"The really, really great thing about the way you've presented this is the fact that you don't attempt to make any comment on what you've witnessed. You've trusted the reader to impose his or her own feelings on the scene: this is a vital part of good travel writing. You are not there to judge, just witness, and you've done this very well."
"From this compelling opening, you locate the scene. Again, it's how we discussed it in the class: not too early, or disruptive of your opening. You've gripped the reader and they won't need to know exactly where they are until a couple of hundred words in; they'll trust you."
"And then you open the piece out, describing some action from the village, offering up other little vignettes, with rich descriptions: the families; the way they're dressed; the stark image of the naked man (which you don't attempt to explain until later, which again is a really nice way to proceed). It is all very nicely textured and well-paced, with a cadence that is easy on the eye and mind."

Start Date: 07/2013
Type of work: programme under development with a launch date in 2017
Participating Countries: all
Other partners: European Commission
EDA and the European Commission recognise that investing today in future-oriented defence research programmes is crucial to developing the capabilities that are required tomorrow.
The Commission, which currently finances exclusively civilian or dual-use R&D through its €80 billion Horizon 2020 programme, considers the Preparatory Action as a major instrument for testing the added-value of CSDP-related research from the EU budget.
The Preparatory Action could pave the way to a fully-fledged EU defence R&D programme within the multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF 2021-2027). The key aspect in assessing the added value will certainly be the uptake of the technology research by the industry and the Ministries of Defence which will ensure the production of new strategic capabilities for armed forces in Europe and increase the competitiveness of the European defence technological and industrial base.
The Preparatory Action will be launched in 2017 before becoming part of the MFF 2021-2027.
The main issues that will be finalised in 2016 are:

Tesla Motors, Ohio Auto Dealers Come to Agreement on Direct Sales

Tesla can continue selling its EVs directly
In a big win for Tesla Motors' auto dealership battle, the state of Ohio will allow the automaker to sell its electric vehicles directly to customers. According to
, Tesla Motors and the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association negotiated the deal Tuesday, and it was approved by a Senate panel.
This means that Tesla can continue selling its $69,900+ Model S sedan EV directly to customers in both of its existing Ohio stores -- which are in Columbus and Cincinnati.
Even better news for Tesla is that it can open a third store Cleveland as well, but it won't be allowed to open any more than that.
The bill also made sure to prohibit other automakers from opening manufacturer-owned stores in the state of Ohio. This ensures that others can't follow Tesla's path and try to get rid of auto dealers altogether.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that auto dealerships don't do a very good job at selling specialty cars like Tesla's high-end electric vehicles (Roadster, Model S). Hence, he's looking to run his own Tesla stores around the U.S. where he believes his cars will get a fair shot at being sold.
The problem is that auto dealers don't want to sell Tesla vehicles, and they're also barring Tesla from selling its own vehicles (with the exception of online, where customers can physically touch or test drive the EVs).
Elon Musk [SOURCE: Green Optimistic]
But auto dealers say that they are necessary middlemen between auto manufacturers and consumers. They've insisted that their role provides fair play for consumers when it comes to warranties and service issues.
Tesla was granted authorization by Republican Gov. John Kasich through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to sell its EVs directly to customers via an issued license.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Ohio auto dealers were
supporting a bill
that would stop Tesla from opening stores outside of its only two locations in Ohio.
It recently came to light that Ohio Sen. Tom Patton (R-Strongsville) backed the anti-Tesla bill -- called Senate Bill 260 -- which aims to prevent Tesla and any other automaker from "applying for a license to sell or lease new or used motor vehicles at retail." What's interesting is that Patton received at least $42,825 between 2002 and 2013 from state and national auto dealership owners, employees, and political action committees.
But this recent agreement with Ohio auto dealers is a win for Tesla, especially when other states -- like New Jersey -- are giving Tesla the boot.
Earlier this month, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's administration
proposed a new rule
, which requires a person to have a franchise agreement with an auto manufacturer in order to be granted a license to sell.
A week later, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission voted in favor of the ban of direct auto sales. Tesla already operates two stores in New Jersey, and had plans to open more before this new rule. These now need to become showrooms as of April 1.
On the other side of the country, states like Texas and Arizona are
rethinking Tesla's direct sales model
(which they currently ban as well) in order to secure Tesla's giant new Gigafactory for EV batteries. The factory aims to supply batteries for up to 500,000 EVs by the year 2020. The gigafactory would cost $5 billion USD, span as much as 1,000 acres, and employ about 6,500 people. It would also largely be powered by renewable energy, hence its need to be in a Southwestern state.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

NICK GRIMM, PRESENTER: No politician likes being accosted in an environment they can't control, but that happened to Nathan Rees this week.
PROTESTOR: You're investing $63 million in coal - oh, in renewable, and $200 million in coal. Well ...
NATHAN REES, PREMIER: If you're interested in having a discussion, I'll have a discussion. If you just wanna harangue me, then it's pointless, isn't it?
PROTESTOR: No, I'm interesting in yelling in you so that we know how angry I am that you've done this. So, you're doubling the penalty for people taking direct right action on coal-fired power stations.
NATHAN REES: I'm not sure that anything I say would persuade you, would it?
PROTESTOR: Well, no. Just gimme an answer.
NATHAN REES: In NSW, for example, there's some 30,000 direct jobs in coal. Now, I can't put all those people out of work overnight. I'm receptive to renewables. That's why we've got new precincts in place, we've got planning legislation to make that happen, that's why $63 million to help low income households get their homes retro-fitted, that's why that we'll be looking very closely at things like tariff schemes for feed-ins. Now, this is about transition, it's not something that you can just press go and put 30,000 people on the employment scrapheap overnight so that they can't pay their rent, they can't pay their mortgage and their families don't get fed that. Now that's the reality. I have to take responsibility for this sort of stuff. I don't have the option of a glib one-liner. I have to actually manage the economy, I have to manage the state and do it in a responsible, sensible fashion that brings people along, that brings people along. Now, I accept we're not moving ...
PROTESTOR: ... if we stopped all the hot air coming out of your mouth, we would be on the way to stopping global warming right now.
NATHAN REES: Like I said, glib one-liners.

Canada's Corryn Brown is still looking for her first win at the world junior curling championships.
Brown and her Kamloops, B.C., team of third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher, and lead Sydney Fraser dropped a 9-4 decision to Japan's Sayaka Yoshimura on Sunday morning.
The Canadians fell to 0-4. Japan and defending world champion Hannah Fleming of Scotland are 4-0.
"I think pressure definitely is a factor and I think having the Maple Leaf on your back is a big target," Brown said. "We just have to give it our everything out there and hopefully pull out a couple of wins in the next couple of games."
Winnipeg's Matt Dunstone lost 6-4 to Sweden's Patric Mabergs on Sunday.
Dunstone and his team – third Colton Lott, second Daniel Grant and lead Brendan MacCuish – fell to 3-2, and are in a four-way tie for third with Italy's Amos Mosaner, Russia's Evgeny Arkhipov, and the Swedes. Norway's Eirik Mjoen and Scotland's Kyle Smith lead with 4-0 records.
Sunday's game came down to the final rock.
"No game is easy. And that's what surprised me most," Dunstone said. "We go in thinking, 'OK, this might be our easy game,' but every game has come down to last rock. We're just happy to be here and happy to be in close games.
"The guys work hard," he added. "They do anything they can to make us win and they've done all they can so far, so I couldn't ask any more of them."

Reviews for Hotel Casa Turquesa
Our travel agent booked us a night here after a mix up with another place in downtown. We were greeted by Mustafa and his staff who were all really friendly and helpful throughout the duration of our stay. Overall the hotel was clean and to a high standard. Grand/classic decor rather than anything too contemporary or modern. As there were six of us we were offered the 'beach house' which had three bedrooms, self-catered kitchen (though had no cutlery/crockery, kettle or oven. Just a job, kettle and fridge), and a reception area. For our one night stay it was perfect and had a balcony right on the beach. The facility wasn't very busy when we stayed so the pool, pool bar and beach areas were perfect, but I expect they might get crowded during busy season. The restaurant food was ok but not great. Another guest complained it was overpriced. All in all I would definitely recommend.

My wife and I stayed here for a week, which was our first time to Cancun. We walked often along the beautiful beaches and saw many hotels, many very large. I feel lucky we picked the Casa Turquesa. It's a small, quiet hotel with a very personable staff. Everyone I met was friendly and outgoing and we ended up on a first-name basis with many of them. That really makes a difference to me. A big thanks to you, Mustafa (GM?) for making our stay a pleasant one. I look forward to us getting together again soon, and sharing some time together. The room was quite big and had it's own private deck with a wonderful view of the pool and ocean. I loved the unique look of this place. It felt a little like an older Mediterranean / old Hollywood style with lots of plants, great paintings, marble floors, and statues. A quick note about the internet. Yes, as others have written, it was a little spotty at times and could be improved. Also, I agree, in this day and age, it should be free to all guests. My wife and I did the all-inclusive food deal, and we're glad we did. It's just so handy to walk a few steps to eat whenever you're hungry. The menu had quite a variety of different dishes showing a mix of Mediterranean, Mayan, Mexican, and American/International. The best part - everything was very fresh and made from scratch (as far as we could tell). A big thank you to the Chef. Also, it was great getting to know Oscar, Guillermo, and Catarina. I liked the visit so much that I purchased additional, advance bookings and look forward to my next visit.

The hotel is undergoing renovations. We were given an executive suite on two floors when we arrived, but it was outdated and unkept. We changed to a standard room which was much better but air conditioning broken down for two days. That being said, this boutique hotel has a lot of potential. The staff is very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. We couldn't ask for a more beautiful white sandy beach and aqua blue water. Located near excellent restaurants and an upscale shopping mall. All the hotel needs is a furniture upgrade and some TLC,
loretta061 - Montreal, Canada
Although this hotel was nice, we were scammed into staying. We made a booking through Hotels.com. It was a very cheap price. On the day that we were to check in I got a call and email from the hotel telling me our reservation was canceled due to a big mix up in the price. They said the best price they could do is 250usd per night. I was in a bind because it was Jan. 2nd, a very busy time. We decided to go and pay. I didn't realize until last month, when I looked at my credit card statement that Hotels.com had charged me for the stay. I tried to get that money back but the hotel said that I came with the hotels.com res and asked to be upgraded. Not true at all. On top of all of this it is a very hard sell time share
First and foremost, Names..... Benadicto was a true host of hosts and really made the best of our visit. We saw him on a daily basis where we were always welcomed with open arms and tentative questions. We have each other's numbers for the future and are keeping in contact, be sure to be kind and generous to this guy, he is a real gentlemen. Fernando, he has an incredible laugh that you will never forget, a truely iconic personality with a character you see on the movies that displays a cultural Mexican personality. He was a gentleman and a scholar, suited our every need and was always there to serve, welcome and suite our every need. Walter, what a guy. He was alway inquisitive of our perspective or our feelings about particular matters it was really a pleasure to have this experience. He always did everything he could to make us laugh and feel at home, a really great guy. Thanks Walter. Oswaldo, another great guy who was there on hand and was a familiar face around the place. We bumped into him across the road at Luxury Mall where he was entertaining other guest and he was sure to say Hello and ask if he could be of any service. Yet another gentlemen and a scholar. I believe it was the owner, never caught his name just a face that always beamed with a smile and was never shy to have a chin wag or compliment my beautiful better half (never shy, did I mention that) haha. Anyway, the room were beautiful and had particular Mexican theme to them that my partner absolutely loved. We then moved rooms (only due to wanting to be on the bottom floor), to a newly renovated room. It was perfect and suited out every need, the air conditioning was fantastic and the hot tub was brilliant. I really cannot express how impressed I was with this place, yes I have stayed from The Ritz-Carlton to the Back packers before, but this has such a welcome home feeling every time we passed the entrance, I felt excited to see everyone every morning and night when returning from daily activities. Incredible staff, truly wonderful experience, thank you all so much and we can (absolutely) not wait to be back.

Tour de France, Belgium, July 1-2, 2004
I'm writing this after our training ride got cut a little short by a heavy rain shower...
We did the medical testing yesterday (Thursday), and all of that went fine. It was a pretty busy day. We had blood tests in the morning, after which we were expected to be in Liege at 12:00 to do our cardio tests, then we came back and have lunch. It wasn't until late in the arvo that we managed to go training. And then it was dinner time! The day just passed in a blink - there was no time to lay down and relax in bed.
I got a new road bike and I've been training on that for the last couple of days and it feels good. We spent some time adjusting positions and then today (Friday) we all went training over some of the parcours of the Amstel Gold Race. We took in the last four climbs, but when we got back to Valkenburg it started heaving down rain, so we dived into a cafe and called the soigneurs to come and get us. It's not good to ride around in the wet before the prologue. Your legs end up like rock.
Even so, today was more relaxed. We have the team presentation this arvo and we'll be going into Liege at about 5pm. Tomorrow we'll head into Liege and do a few circuits of the prologue course in the morning, then come back for lunch and head back for the TT later.
All the hype around everything is starting to build up. There's people everywhere - all the spectators coming into Liege. Up until now I haven't really noticed it because we're in a hotel out of town. It's very quiet and very relaxed, which is good. We really only noticed that there was a bike race on when we came into the permanence in Liege yesterday. All the sponsors were there, and we got new shirts, socks, shorts, bikes, glasses, shoes...they aim for everything to be on show.
All is going ok health wise. I haven't had any back pain for the last week and my osteopath David is coming in tomorrow, so he should be able to give me some treatment next week. I don't see any major problems with it.
Also, I'm trying not to eat too much at the moment because otherwise you get all blown up. If it'd been up to the cook at this hotel in Riemst we've been at the last couple of days, we'd have beef to the ankles by the start of the race. The food is bloody beautiful and everyone is just full as a goog after every meal. We're afraid it can only downhill from here as far as food is concerned!
Basically I'm just getting on with it. It's only 6 km tomorrow, so that's about 6'30-7'00 racing time. I'm starting at 4.10pm, which means I'll be back at the hotel early for a good rub and an early night!
The Olympic selection
I learned this morning that I wasn't selected in the Australian team for the Olympics. It was a slap in the face of course and I still don't understand the direction the selectors are trying to go in. I mean: taking three sprinters?? Hey, why not make it four?
But I decided while out training: "Scott, don't do your block, the selections will never be understood by just logical reasoning."
I'm happy for the guys who are selected, good on 'em. At least, my frustration is shared this time so it seems to weigh so much less then back in '96 when I was the only one being seriously overlooked. Some other riders putting down good results have been left out of the selection this time around, and they too would perform well on that particular parcours in Athens.
Nevertheless, It'd be good to know the selectors' motives, the reason for their weird strategy. Don't expect me to ask for it right now though, had enough of the duck-shoving.
As I said, I'm not going to lose sleep over it - I'm here to race the Tour!

The Game
Psychological story about a guy with a weird view on life. Very short intro, then gets going in a diary format.
In other words, my attempt to get anyone who knows what 'the game' is annoyed
Life is a game. Some people get money, do well, get a good job, car, house, et cetera. Some people lose, have nothing, no reason to live. As we all run around in our little worlds, everything we do will affect our game forever. No two games will ever be the same, yet they are connected. Intertwined. Inseparable, yet independant in their own way.
This is how I lost the game

Tainted Saint, Chapter FifteenMature
Amadeo dismounted his horse without a word to anyone. Greatly distressed, he didn't give instructions to the stableboy. He simply left his horse behind. He could have spoken if he'd wanted to - but he didn't.
Marcos hurried to his King's side. "Sire - " he began.
Whirling around to face his friend, Amadeo finally spoke, though his voice shook with tears and anger. "Did you see what he did to her?"
"I saw everything, Your Highness," Marcos replied, his tone suddenly softer and more sympathetic. "I'm...very sorry."
Amadeo searched his friend's eyes. "But did you see, Marcos? Wasn't she beautiful? Don't you see now why I had to go find her again?" Voice breaking, Amadeo stopped and waited for Marcos' response.
Marcos said nothing.
"I don't expect you to understand," Amadeo continued. "I don't expect you to see what I saw in her. But he saw what I saw in her, and he wants to make sure she doesn't."
"Sire..." Marcos started, then stopped.
"Speak your mind."
Chuckling both nervously and mirthlessly, Marcos opened his mouth, but the words took awhile in coming. Finally, he said, "You're not making sense."
"Which part? The part about her, or the part about him?" Sensing Marcos' confusion, Amadeo shook his head and waved the matter away. "Never mind," he said, seeing that there was no way he could convince his friend of the matter. "Go talk to Gabelle or something."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness," Marcos said quietly. "But for what it's worth, I think it's good that she rejected you. Perhaps now, you'll be able to set your sights on someone else."
"Perhaps." Unlikely.
"It's late. You ought to get some sleep. Things always look better in the morning, eh?" Marcos pointed out in a voice that tried too hard to be chipper.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
Marcos reached out and firmly patted his King's shoulder. "Sounds good." He nodded, though there was still concern lacing his eyes. "I hope you can get some sleep."
"You, too."
But when Amadeo slept, he dreamed of those broken eyes...

Chapter 37 (Part Two - Toward Persephone)
Saracen and Balthazar found themselves in the clearing that Belial had stood in three days previously. Both Demons were adorned proudly in their warriors garb looking ernestly for signs of their quarry. It was Saracen who found it.
A small track had been cut through the picturesque, emerald undergrowth. Three sets of footprints led through the woodland area into a linger darkness.
Balthazar followed silently behind Saracen abashed by recent events. The scars on his face and shoulder were itching as they began to heal, but the mental scars were as bitter and prominent as they ever had been. The beauty of the Netherworld did nothing to extinguish his fear and doubt.
It was after about three hours walking that Saracen had lost the trail. His frustration showed as he pitched a stone against a large shaggy looking tree. He knew that Hades Citadel was south east of here and decided that they were better off following the trail there.
A further three hours passed when they broke from the suffocating vines and branches. The Demons were standing atop a small hill overlooking a green blanket as the stretched through a patchwork valley. He almost didn't notice the young girl walking through a small spinney below them.
She was dressed in a white gown with a shimmering pink hue to it. There was determined frame to her strut, her long flowing blonde hair bounced in an almost trance-like fashion.
It was Balthazar who spotted the two harpies leaping from tree to tree behind her. He alerted Saracen immediately. Their loping grace did not see, equivalent to their gangled features.
A grotesque rotting brown and green fleshed creatures with wide beige wings projected a fearsome contrast to both the angelic maiden and beautiful scenery. Despite their large cumbersome frames, it was almost like watching filthy ballet dancers gracefully following a beautiful choreography.
Saracen immediately registered the danger the stranger below them was in. The talons on the Harpies protruded like sabers from underneath their long bony legs. Motioning Balthazar to be quiet he began a hasty, stealthy descent.
The descent ended just in the nick of time for the beautiful stranger as Saracen and Balthazar arrived in a small spinney hidden from their recent view. The young lady entered the spinney just as a high pitched shriek rained a terror over Saracen's ears.
Balthazar acted quickly. He ran across the spinney and threw his weight against the girl, pushing her awkwardly out of the spinney and into a velvety undergrowth.
Saracen drew his Katana's and raced to the plummeting Harpy. As Balthazar lepat at the girl saracen leapt at the Harpy aiming a swift aerial blow at it's thick putrid neck. The blow never landed.
The Harpy turned and landed on it's back as it's furious talons scrabbled at the sword. As it deflected the blow it hissed and screeched. In one movement it flipped itself onto it's legs, a divinely terrible example of athleticism that suddenly made Saracen realise that he was outmatched. He backed away and stumbled leaving himself wide open to be torn to pieces by this monster.
Balthazar had emerged alert from the undergrowth to see wild wings flurrying before his face. His instant reaction was to stab the thin membaneous wings. The moster turned giving saracen vital seconds to find his feet.
The second Harpy landed behind Saracen at that instant separating him from any slim chance he had of helping Balthazar attack the first harpy.
Balthazar was awestruck by the sheer size of the Harpies. In the safe confines of Hell he would have pictured these as mythical Dragons from a fairy tale. But he wasn't in Hell. He wasn't in hell and his sword was drawn.
Saracen faced his foe as the harpy screamed at him. He found himself stifling a compulsion to wretch at the sheer fetid scent of rotting meat that greeted his nostrils. As Talons came at him Saracen ducked and dived despite the awesome ferocity that the scrabbling blows were delivered.
Balthazar's tactic was a little different. He forced himself on the front foot and lunged toward exposed throat of his Harpy. This was just a feint however, and the Harpy anticipated him to commit to the blow. As the Harpy moved Balthazar's deft footwork forced him further around the beast displaying much of her back and neck. Balthazar recognised the opportunity for a kill.
Saracen was fending of the relentless whistling attacks from the enraged horror before him. Slowly he led the harpy backwards to the edge of the clearing until he could feel the looming cold shadow of a large tree approaching his back.
Balthazar lunged and slashed at the base of the Harpies neck. He watched as the winged monster bucked suddenly and tried to twist it's grotesque body toward him. As the neck came around balthazar swung his sword at the exposed throat opening a large orifice. The wound sprayed hot red liquid over his arms and in that moment he knew he was victorious.
In a flash Saracen deftly swung his body behind the tree rolled back into the clearing behind the Harpy as it tried to rip the tree from it's roots in an attempt to reach him. Both Katana's sliced the the base of the beast neck. Both cuts reached their targets. BOth harpies were slain.
As blood spouted a torrid fountain into the air, and as the convulsive, aggressive spasms of the Harpies slowed into a slumbering twitch the young girl emerged back into the clearing.
"Where did they come from?" Her mouth spoke the words, but her eyes betrayed any sign of anything but an autopilot incredulity.
Saracen sat down heavily on the ground and stared at the girl. She was even more beautiful now that he was close. Her hair was an ivory blonde set against a mildly tanned skin. But those eyes. He knew those eyes.
"What is your name?"
"My name. Oh my name is Hermione."

Ivy's 3 TD passes help Jackson St. top Texas Southern, 34-30
La Montiez Ivy completed 22 of 27 passes for 370 yards and three touchdowns, and Teddrick Terrell had a sack in the closing seconds to help Jackson State beat Texas Southern 34-30 on Saturday night.
Devin Fosselman and Dan Williams each had six receptions and a touchdown. Fosselman finished with 129 yards receiving and Williams added 124 for Jackson State (1-3, 1-1 Southwestern Athletic Conference).
Ivy connected with Fosselman on a 30-yard touchdown pass, on third-and-10, to give the Jackson State a 34-24 lead with 4:17 left.
Texas Southern (2-2, 1-2) answered with a five-play, 57-yard drive -- during which Averion Hurts either passed or ran on every play -- that was capped by a 10-yard scoring pass to Derrick Griffin with 2:40 to play, but the PAT attempt by Eric Medina was blocked by Brandon Maiden.
Jackson State went three-and-out, but Texas Southern had just 32 seconds and no time outs and Terrell's sack sealed it.

String Theorists and multiversists unite!
I don't know how to begin
but neither did most of us
so I start with a bang,
not the Big Bang,
but a smaller recreation,
using my own universe,
not the multiverse that cannot escape
the depths of my mind.
I love you and this love
it is the kind that curls my cheeks towards
my eyes that I wish you could see,
the kind that my mother notices
when she hasn't before,
the kind where I am taking the butterflies
from my stomach
to put in terranium ornaments.
The multiverse is simply
many universes together.
I'm so entranced by the idea
I want it to be real but the real multiverse
is nothing like fiction. It's not where
there are other universes from other choices
but just other places. I was never born there,
and if I was,
I'm dead now. Light travels too fast for us
to discover something,
come up with means to get there,
get there,
and it's gone by the time you touch it.
I told you that I loved you
out of the entire multiverse, but
how could I not.
How could I not compare you to something that is already dead,
something with it's own strings and hearts and DNA and
dimensions wholly different from ours.
I cannot compare our love to something not
there anymore,
nothing but fond memories of light,
but maybe I can.
Dark matter pushes
and dark emotions push as well.
Set an egg timer
and when you're done with me,
decide if you like me well enough
to keep going.
The multiverse is just a theory
after all.

Royal Holiday Scam
SUBMITTED: Friday, July 24, 2015POSTED: Friday, July 24, 2015
I bought a timeshare with Royal Holiday and they lied to me at everything, every time I check for travel dates are not available and it's cheaper to booked flight and hotel with Expedia. The service is really bad, I asked to speak to the manager and was told that I cannot talk to her and that I cannot cancel my membership.
I't´s been a nightmare for me!!! I was doing a research on internet about this fraudulent resort and how to get out of this fraud, i found this information and i want to share it with you, i hope it helps someone:
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
Advertisers above have met our

Tortoise SVN and PayPal, voice controls for the desktop
Community Notebook: Projects
The free software market is a very special little biotope, and life within it can be pretty treacherous at times, as the Tortoise SVN developer learned thanks to PayPal. Voice controls for the desktop are a far more harmonious affair.
One thing that makes the open source world likeable is the number of small projects whose maintainers are motivated by the fun of programming rather than any commercial or strategic concerns, giving the users of free software a choice of a more or less infinite variety of specialist applications that come free of charge and that they can develop and improve themselves if the need arises.

The iPhone 6S is just landing with customers today, but it's already received the comprehensive teardown treatment.
Established teardown and repair specialist iFixit didn't waste any time going to work on Apple's latest smartphone. The findings are unsurprising - we already knew much of what was going on inside the iPhone 6S prior to release - but act as valuable confirmation of a few key points.
First among those confirmations is the fact that the iPhone 6S battery is actually smaller than that of the iPhone 6 model. One of Apple's announcement videos for the phone appeared to reveal that we were dealing with a 1,715mAh battery, and this teardown had confirmed that figure.
For reference, the iPhone 6 has an 1,810mAh battery.
Also interesting is the teardown's look at the new Taptic Engine. This is the component that provides the sophisticated physical feedback for the iPhone 6S's 3D Touch screen.
In addition to seeing the chunky oblong component occupying a fair amount of space below the iPhone 6S's battery (hence the shrinkage), the website X-Rays the component to reveal what's happening inside. A couple of horizontally aligned springs shifting a solid chunk of material back and forth, it seems.

Another point of note is the new, expanded display with its 3D Touch technology. The addition of the latter has increased the display's weight by 15 grams over the iPhone 6.
All in all, the iPhone 6S is awarded a repair rating of 7 out of 10, which means it'll be relatively easy to repair if it goes wrong or you drop it in a puddle.
