By JASON MITCHELL
The Seattle Sounders might be a sixth seed coming off a tough road loss to the Houston Dynamo, but all indications suggest the fifth-year club will pose a formidable opponent for the Portland Timbers in Sunday night's nationally televised match at CenturyLink Field.
Management expects the stadium to be packed to its 67,000-seat capacity for Clint Dempsey's home debut, and suffice it to say the team is no slouch in front of large crowds.
Seattle is 7-0-2 when CenturyLink attendance tops 40,000, and outscores opponents 23-8 in the process. The Sounders are also 4-0 in front of crowds larger than 55,000, trouncing visitors by a combined score of 11-1.
Portland lost in Seattle 3-0 in front of 66,452 last season, but Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid knows his team won't be facing last season's Portland Timbers this weekend.
"It's going to be extra special [Sunday] because of the crowd and everything, but also because Portland's a very, very good team right now and a team that's ahead of us in the standings," Schmid told reporters after practice this week. "We haven't been in that position. For us, the game and the result are very important Sunday."
Here are some more stories to keep you up to speed on the Seattle Sounders:
Seattle's offense looks more impressive than ever on paper. But with Dempsey still working his way toward midseason form and still getting to know his teammates, Schmid knows it might be a while until that potential fully translates to the pitch.
"He's getting there. He's still trying to get his form," Schmid said about Seattle's newest Designated Player. "He's still a little bit in preseason. He and I talked about that today a little bit. I said I didn't want him to put too much pressure on himself. He puts pressure on himself enough as it is. I just want him to relax and play, and the goals and assists will come. I think he's still probably two, three, four games away from getting to the point where I'd say he's sharp."
That doesn't mean Dempsey isn't impressing.
"He made a move today at practice where I was like, 'Whoa. That was different. I didn't expect that,'" Schmid said. "He just beat a guy cleanly."
On Wednesday the Sounders announced the signing of Blair Gavin, onetime Chivas USA and New England Revolution midfielder. Drafted 10th overall in the 2010 SuperDraft, Gavin made 31 starts in 43 appearances for Chivas before heading to New England during the 2012 season. The Arizona native and former Akron Zip has compiled three goals and five assists in Major League Soccer.
Gavin joins a talented and deep midfield in Seattle that will already be making room for either Dempsey or Eddie Johnson. The Sounders have battled injuries all year, though, and in all likelihood will lose Dempsey, Johnson, and Brad Evans to stretches of national team duty.
"Blair has been training with us for a few weeks and we are very happy to add him to our group," sporting director Chris Henderson said in a press release. "He is a thinker on the field and has good technical ability. He has enough MLS experience to help us down the stretch."
What do you think? Will Portland snap Seattle's unbeaten streak? Think Dempsey snags a goal in his debut even if he's not in midseason form? Will Gavin find a way to contribute in a midfield?
Share your thoughts below.
The last time I saw Blair Gavin was when he was playing with the 4th tier Bradenton team against a brand new team in Naples Florida (the Adrenaline I believe?) in front of a crowd of 150 people… and he didn't look good. In fact, he was subbed with half an hour left. I fail to see how this is a positive move, but I guess Sigi knows best.
If Sigi knew best the Sounders would have some decent hardware.
Looking forward to the game. Just wish either team was playing their best. Right now, neither team is playing well.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Umm Portland just scored three against Salt Lake City…probably should have won.
I agree with you on Sigi though, he has to be under pressure right now….a lot of pressure.
IMO no team that gives up a goal that late to 10 men deserves to win… ever.
what if a 9-man team gets scored on by 10-man team
RSL isn't playing that well either.
For teams that are playing well see LA.
This coming from an RSL fan.
Clearly you don't watch the Sounders, because other than last week when they were down 3 key players they have been one of the best teams in the league since the end of the first month.
Standings when teams haven't played the same amount of games don't mean anything.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
IF you are talking to me about not watching the Sounders, every game I possibly could since 1981…but nice try…only most of 32 years, so close.
Go the route of you don't know what you are talking about next time 😉
There IS a lot of pressure on him. The fact that they don't beat/ and imho are outcoached/ against the better teams, especially in the playoffs isn't unnoticed and it has to be turned around. With the most talent in the league, and some of the best in many postions, he has to get results.
ed - houston
yup yup… and if he does not get the results he needs to go
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Then we can bring Dom back to Seattle where he belongs.
chris thebassplayer
Haha, get in line. He's coming back to the South Bay where he grew up. His dad Hugh Kinnear coached Fremont Celtic and owned one of the best soccer stores in the whole Bay Area…deep roots in the soccer community.
Timbers are missing their two most valuable players IMO Johnson and Charra. Please tell me the sounders are missing someone too.
Brad Evans
The first 11 should be available to play!
Gspurnator, Yedlin, Traore, Lodi, Gonzalez, the Captain, Honeybadger, Deuce, B-Rad, Martins, and EDog.
Should be fun!
Martins could be out, but otherwise I say welcome to the Sounder season of different line ups.
I love how the Sounders in some eyes are acting as though they are out of it, as of this moment with wins in the games in hand the Sounders would pass every single team ahead of them. I know it doesn't mean it will but it could. Also keep in mind one of the games is at home vs Chivas.
A loss to PT would change that, but a win vaults them up the standings.
MIght be time to consider that Dempsey could seriously be benched for the upcoming qualfiers. 3-4 weeks to find game form?
We have our second most difficult qualifier in TWO WEEKS.
He'll find a way, as usual. How often did Dempsey fail to deliver in a USMNT jersey?
louis z
mmm the last 3 qualifiers?
Doubtful. Costa Rica and Mexico will both have players who are in preseason/early season form. Our European and Mexican-based players will be in the same boat as well. So long as Dempsey is playing games with Sounders he should be fine. Most international games will feature players at the stage where Dempsey is at now, it's just that Schmid has to contended with MLS having different calendar and what that means for integrating Dempsey into Sounders FC specifically.
Most of their players will have played a half dozen or more full official matches by then–they'll be in good fitness and form.
Dempsey isn't even making his home debut until this weekend–less than 2 weeks before the match and a little more than a week before he'll be reporting to camp.
Timetable is not good at all for him to be openly admitting he's not in form.
Right, his home debut but not his actual debut. He's played part of 1 game and started another, and even before he left Spurs, he played during their Asian tour. It's not ideal, but it's not like he hasn't been getting *any* game reps.
If he plays this weekend, that'll be another step forward, and I don't think Dempsey 2 weeks from now with 3-4 regular season games and some pre-season is going to be that far behind guys with 7-8 games or so.
Same thing happened last year when he and Fulham were at an impasse and he (and we) survived.
No chance of this happening. He will be captain.
Dempsey was in preseason when Sounders bought him, will take a little bit to get into midseason form.
He is STILL in preseason form. "He's still a little bit in preseason."
He'll have to leave for Costa Rica in a little more than a week's time and Sigi doesn't think he'll even find game form for another 3 or 4 official matches.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Oh my word. We have reached new lows. Dempsey is now the next Landon Donovan "he should be a super sub"
Try reading next time.
Dempsey. Isn't. In. Game. Shape.
Seriously people. It came right from his *$#&*(&$Q# coach's mouth.
His coach is just trying to take a bit of pressure off him, I wouldn't read to much into it.
It's been kind of funny seeing the change in tone on this site ever since Dempsey moved to Sounders. Suddenly, a whole lot of people are talking about how he isn't a pure striker or winger (which has always been true) and how he supposedly slows the game down and doesn't make his teammates better (I've never seen evidence that either is true). There's no evidence to suggest his game or athletic ability has changed much in the last 2 years, but suddenly SBI-ers are pointing out the flaws in his game (real or imagined) and talking about benching him (if you really want to feel your brain cells exploding, read the comments on the AJ post from yesterday).
Dempsey's the same guy he's always been — a physical, athletic (but not particularly fast) tweener who positions himself well off the ball and takes a moderate number of chances with it. The only thing that's changed is the uniform.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
He will be washed up after he and the Sounders win back to back championships.
Mike E.
Why are people attacking SanFran?
Sigi says Clint is still not even fit for the season and all of a sudden its unreasonable to assume he might be benched for a game that's realistically a week of practice like training away?
I'm not reading the responses as attacks. SanFran asked the question and people have answered it, with most of the responses being "no" (or in my case, "unlikely").
Again, even if you look at Schmid's quote above, he's not saying that Dempsey is starting from scratch fitness-wise, since that wouldn't be true. Dempsey's had part of a preseason with Spurs, followed by a small gap, training and 2 games (1 start) with Sounders, and another game coming on Sunday. His Euro and Mexico-based teammates and opponents will be ahead of him fitness-wise, but none of them will be in mid-season form either, so the gap between him and many of the guys he'd be playing with/against in WCQ won't actually be that big.
As Seattle's manager, Schmid's more worried than the coaching staff for USMNT should be because MLS is much further along in its season than Europe is, so integrating him into Sounders and MLS play midstream will actually be harder — from a fitness/chemistry standpoint — than making it through a pair of international games. Even then, though, 2-4 games isn't much of a gap for Dempsey to make up, so again, the comments are only sort of newsworthy.
I made a comment below about commenters being more critical of Dempsey now than they were before the Sounders deal. It's not directed at SanFran in particular, but it's based on a general trend I've noticed in posts in recent days. In my view, Dempsey has basically been the same player for at least the last 2 seasons — star-quality, but with some limitations. Neither his strengths nor his weaknesses have changed, so it's a little weird so see a change in the comment trends — the only thing that's changed is that he left England for MLS and I think fan frustration with that (and maybe Americans' slight inferiority complex about our soccer scene) is probably what's driving it.
louis z
Your 3rd paragraph have me scratching my head, how can you say is harder to integrate him in MLS than USMNT, at the national level all players should be at their optimum, the margin for error is critical. If anything, he should be able to excel much faster in MLS since he should be much better of a player than his peers.
That's why I said only from a fitness/chemistry standpoint.
With USMNT he's familiar with his teammates and (roughly) the styles of the Costa Rican and Mexican teams. In addition, because both USMNT and its opponents will be drawing at least some players from leagues who are just beginning their seasons now, even if Dempsey's in pre-season form, he's not going to be that much less fit than players who are on similar calendars.
On the other hand, at Sounders, the players are all far enough along in their season to be more familiar with eachother and aren't just rounding themselves into shape. Adding Dempsey to that mix mid-season and trying to figure out his role with teammates that have been together all season (all while games continue to be played) is going to be difficult.
It may be that, ultimately, Dempsey's so much more talented than other MLS players that he fits right in. But I think even if that's not the case, bringing him National Team training i still probably a more straightforward proposition than getting him up to speed with his club.
Keep in mind that around this time last year, Dempsey was in an uncertain club situation with Fullham and moved to Tottenham with no pre-season. He still managed to start for the USMNT in September though and score the lone goal in the road Jamaica qualifier. Small sample size, but it at least suggests that where Dempsey is with his club doesn't necessarily predict where he'll be with the National Team.
*where he is with his club form
*lone goal for the Yanks. I'm aware we lost that game 2-1 (and this, folks, is why you never post while sick…)
because he's dumb
I can see the predictions now:
-If Deuce doesn't score he's not ready and JK should sit him against CR
-If Deuce scores 1 goal and it's Seattle's only goal Deuce doesn't make his teammates better and JK should sit him against CR
-If Deuce scores but Seattle loses Deuce can't lead his team to victory and JK should sit him against CR and make Bradley the Captain going forward
-If Deuce doesn't complete 95% of his p@$$$es he really doesn't fit into our scheme because he's a tweener, not really a forward & not really a midfielder and JK should sit him against CR
I mean it's hard to argue with these points considering Iceman is on a a Torrid 5 game scoring streak including 2 penalties and 45 minutes of Natl team play vs. Dempsey and his 7 years in the Premier league and carrying us through qualifying into and through the hex until Jozy found his form….
What is wrong with some people
Totally on point, totally concur. Some people…
Jay Bonds
I can bet there will be more people watching at the stadium than on national television either ESPN or NBC Sports. MLS cannot even get up to a 100K on any ESPN platform and that's where the league's highest numbers come from.
Gonzalez—Traore–Ianni —-Yedlin
What do you folks think about that formation? I don't think it's what will be fielded, but playing Dempsey and Martins in those withdrawn forward/attacking midfield roles could really cause Portland some confusion. I'm not even a real Seattle fan, but I'm definitely looking forward to this game to say the least.

Ruin (part 3)Mature
Wind began to assault my left side. Wind? How? It got faster and faster making the loudest noise in the world. Something else joined in with the winds howl. Jemundi! He was chanting something. The force of the wind nocked me to the ground and its speed was still accelerating. My knees against the floor I tried standing up. The attempt was futile. Suddenly something grabbed my ankle and yanked me away from the wall. Every inch I was pulled the wind went down. Finally the thing had let go and only a slight breeze remained. I got to my feet and something collided with my face. Blood began pouring down my face.
My veins began to pump blood. Adrenaline raced through me. "WHY!" I yelled. Frustration over everything in my life bubbling to the surface. I felt a portion of something forced itself into me body.
"Because this is your destiny."
"What? You can't speak my language!"
"You are not speaking that language."
What was happening? How could I understand him much less know their language. I had learned a few words and phrases from Hawke but he had given up soon after trying to teach me. "Wha, what is happening?" I stammered.
Calmly and evenly Jehmundi stated "The re-birth of the crystal walkers."
"Why am I needed, and what the hell are the crystal walkers?"
"You are the sacrifice that has been prepared."
"To hell with you!" Confusion finding the adrenaline coursing through my body lit into anger, like an ocean of kerosene and a match becoming a massive fire. "NO!" More of the essence from earlier flowed into my body and a tingling began to manifest itself inside.
"How do you plan on stopping it?"
"I'm going to kill you!" I felt strong now.
"Come and give it a try."
Pulling out my sword I did. The voice had come from my left. Muscles tensing and a sudden release went into putting the sword through Jehmundi. Anticipation for the hit came and went. There was nothing there. My futile attack spun me out of control. The cold metal of the floor pressed against my back. My hand burst with pain and just like that the sword was gone. This was it, I was dead.
Jehmundi didn't finish me immediately. Could he see me? "You westerners think everything is won by strength and power. Bigger equates to better." He said with a sneer.
"Finish me then!" I yelled. No intention of letting him kill me I rolled away from where I fell moving closer to the wind. A low flicker emanated from the center of the atrium. It grew steadily until it was bright as day.
Jehmundi looked straight at me, his whole body glowing red, and said, "As you wish." Quick as light he pulled two scimitars from their sheaths and charged. I jumped low into a dive and caught his feet in my arms pulling him to the ground. I scuttled away before he could get the scimitars into my flesh. Picking up my dropped sword and whipping my body around I just barely dodged a slash. Constantly parrying I was on the defensive. He fought like Hawke and I had not beaten Hawke once in training.
The wind was right behind me. One or two more steps and I would lose all footing. Three more strikes came in for varying angles and I blocked the but was forced another step back. He was purposely trying to put me in the tornado. 'Let me help you.'
Why was Jehmundi offering help. "What?" I asked him.
"I sai- -othin-." The noise of the wind had distorted his voice and followed up with another fevered attack. I sprang forward to the right trying to get some distance from the angry windstorm. "Ther- -s no esc-!" Jehmundi yelled towards me. He was already pushing me back, the few feet that were gained vanished quickly.
'There is only one way out this. Let me help you!' The voice was coming from inside my head! I had gone insane. That was the only answer. Well mine as well see if the 'other me' could help me.
A sudden sharp pain made itself known from my shoulder. In the seconds of self-contemplation my guard had gone down enough and now I was paying the price. 'Do it!'
I couldn't move my arms, my legs, nothing was responding to my commands. My eyes looked straight at Jehmundi but I had not directed them there. His attacks became more ferocious than before. My hands leapt forward with lightning fast precision that I had never before been able to attain. A quick kick went into Jehmundi's gut, he crumpled. My foot had again struck him in his stomach.

"We're thrilled to announce we just had our millionth visitor to the designer outlet."
Nearly four months after opening its doors to the public, the McArthur Glen outlet near YVR Airport is experiencing success.
Allie Day with the outlet says business has been booming with the weak Canadian dollar attracting more customers.
"I think the loonie is definitely a contributing factor. I think a lot of people are noticing that tourism numbers in Vancouver are significantly higher than previous years and I think that's definitely a part of it."
Day says American shoppers have shown an inclination to buy.
"We have been seeing an increase in American visitors – mind you, we've only been open a little over three months – but we've seen approximately ten per cent of our traffic, especially on weekends, be U.S. visitors and particularly from Washington."
Day estimates that on any given weekend since the outlet opened in July, as much as ten per cent of their business comes from visitors south of the border.
Beat the original target
Originally, it was forecast there would be 600,000 visitors by mid-September; the outlet just recently marked their one millionth.
Day anticipates business will pick up even more dramatically as the busy holiday season approaches.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The W2W is the name of a cross-country cycle route in Northern England, regional route 20. It runs from Walney Island in Cumbria to Sunderland on the River Wear (hence 'W2W', or Walney to Wear).
The route was launched on 1 June 2005 to complement the popular Sea to Sea Cycle Route (C2C) that runs from Whitehaven to Sunderland. It is designed to be slightly harder and longer than this other route, totalling either 149 or 151 miles (243 km). As it has only been launched recently, the route is still undergoing some improvements (June 2005) to meet National Cycle Network standards.
From west to east, the W2W takes the following route:
- From Walney Island in the Irish Sea (54°06′09″N 3°15′46″W / 54.1026°N 3.2627°W) it goes on to the industrial port of Barrow-in-Furness
- It then runs through the Furness peninsula, passing towns such as Ulverston and the picturesque Grange-Over-Sands. There are safety issues along this stretch of the route as sections of the path follow the busy A590 trunk road
- The route continues to skirt the Lake District national park towards the historical market town of Kendal
- After this, the path continues northwards, before moving in an easterly direction towards Kirkby Stephen and through the Pennines to Barnard Castle in County Durham
- At Barnard Castle, the route splits into two spurs. The northerly spur passes through Hamsterley, taking two miles (3 km) more to reach the beautiful cathedral city of Durham than the easier southern spur which passes through Bishop Auckland.[1]
- The final 18 miles (29 km) of the W2W follows the River Wear to the North Sea at Sunderland (54°55′13″N 1°21′50″W / 54.9203°N 1.3639°W).
- ^ A third option is now available. Regional Route 52 between Barnard Castle and Whitby allows cycling the Walney to Whitby route of 171 miles (275 km).

BeschreibungThrough an examination of the experience of transsexuals, this book enhances understanding of how gender can and does function in powerful, complex and subtle ways. The author, who has herself been surgically reassigned, has conducted extensive interviews with transsexuals from many walks of life. Her personal experiences, which inform this book, have given her an access to her subjects that others would likely be denied. While highlighting how the gender identity of transsexuals relates to hormonal and surgical changes in the body as well as to changes in dress, the book investigates the pressures and motivations to conform to expected gender roles, and the ways in which these are affected by social, educational, and professional status. Differences in the experiences of those who change from male to female and those who change from female to male are also examined.
Sex reassignment has been the focus of considerable media attention recently, as increasing numbers of people feel able to talk frankly about their personal experiences with gender dysphoria. Strides with medical technology have given transsexuals new opportunities in their lives. This book provides unique insights into how these changes are seen by those people most affected them.
PortraitClaudine Griggs University of Massachusetts and Rhode Island College
Pressestimmen'(Griggs') writing is complex, subtle and serious, but the language is never technical or over-academic, with the result that almost anyone could enjoy, and learn something from, this book, from the full-on academic to the just plain interested. And its clear and wide-ranging references to academic sources will guarantee its inclusion on undergraduate reading lists. [...] The book is a reminder that we all, expert and amateur alike, have more to learn. Griggs' perspicacious and nuanced insights on gender are relevant to everyone, male and female, not just to transsexuals and academics ... Due to her personal experiences, she is uniquely placed to explore the tragedy of gender, as well as its comedy, as she has privileged insight into the different way the sexes are treated.' Costume

Even in this age of nearly omnipresent advertising, there are still some places where it's in very bad taste to force coupons on the public, like outside the site of a former concentration camp. [More]
burger king
Burger King Franchisee Made Employees Hand Out Coupons At Concentration Camp Site
Customer Accuses Burger King Of Bogus BOGO Deals
Typically, when presented with a "buy-one-get-one" coupon, customers expect to pay the original price for one item and then get the second one free. But one Burger King customer claims the fast food chain actually increases the price on the first sandwich so you're not truly getting two for the price of one. [More]
Wikipedia Editors Condemn Burger King For Edits Related To Google Home Stunt
Not only did a recent Burger King ad try to hijack folks' Google Home devices to shill for Whoppers, the fast food giant also apparently made marketing-friendly edits to the Whopper's entry on Wikipedia. That's a big no-no, and editors on the crowdsourced reference site are flame-broiling BK about it. [More]
McDonald's Creates Clickbait TV Ad That Mentions Google, Coke, But Not McDonald's
An actress in a yellow dress stands in front of a red curtain. She tells you about Coke and about Google, but it's not a commercial for either of those things… and you'll have to search a catch phrase to find out what it is for. It is, apparently, "unbranded marketing" for McDonald's… but will it work?
Google Blocks Burger King Whopper Ad From Triggering Google Home
Well, that was quick: Soon after Burger King launched a new ad designed to force any Google Home devices within range to wake up and spit out a list of the Whopper's ingredients, Google has apparently disabled the functionality that triggers the devices. [More]
This Burger King Ad Forces Your Google Home Device To Tell You About Whoppers
You might think you're the master of your own home, controlling all the internet-connected devices within it and bending them to your will with the touch of a button or an uttered command. But Burger King is trying to sneak into your home through the TV with a new ad that tries to trigger the voice-activated Google Home. [More]
Burger King Replacing Tendercrisp After Customers Called It "Disgusting"
What's the saying? "If at first people call your food 'disgusting,' try, try again." Sounds about right for Burger King, which is replacing its Tendercrisp chicken sandwich with a new crispy version that it hopes customers will actually want to eat. [More]
Burger King And Tim Hortons Parent Company To Acquire Popeyes
The first reports that Restaurant Brands International, the Canadian company formed by the merger of Burger King and Tim Hortons, was planning to pursue fried chicken chain Popeyes surfaced, appropriately enough, on Valentine's Day. Now the company has officially announced that Popeyes has reached an agreement to join the family for $1.8 billion. [More]
Report: Burger King And Tim Hortons Asked Popeyes Out, Maybe For A Merger
Hey, Popeyes, don't look now, but that restaurant conglomerate over there has its eye on you. Yeah, that one: Restaurant Brands International, the company formed when Burger King and Tim Hortons merged and settled in Canada. It's interested in maybe acquiring the fried chicken chain to add to its portfolio. [More]
Burger King Manager, Employee Allegedly Ran Drug Operation Through Drive-Thru Window
Customers ordering "fries extra crispy" at a New Hampshire Burger King were apparently getting more than crunchy potato sticks. Authorities say they arrested two employees of the fast food restaurant for allegedly running a drug operation. [More]
McDonald's & Other Fast Food Giants Battling For Siberian Customers
When you picture Siberia, you probably imagine a vast, frozen landscape, tucked away in the coldest corner of the globe. You probably don't picture the Golden Arches lighting up the frigid night, but now even Siberia has several McDonald's locations — and it's got plenty of competition for customers. [More]
More Than 125,000 People Call On Burger King, KFC, Starbucks & Others To Curb Antibiotics Use
While a handful of fast food chains have made at least some commitment to reducing the use of antibiotics in livestock, the majority of these restaurants still have no policy when it comes to this issue. This morning, CEOs of those companies are receiving a petition signed by more than 125,000, asking them to do their part to help prevent the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. [More]
Burger King, Tim Hortons To Use Fewer Antibiotics In Chicken
Three months after earning its second consecutive "F" grade from public health advocates for its lack of any policy to limit the use of antibiotics in the meat it sources, Burger King's parent company — which also owns donut chain Tim Hortons — has finally announced plans to cut back on overusing some of these drugs in the chickens it uses. [More]
Unhappy With A Gift? One Burger King Will Let You Trade It In For A Whopper
Sure, getting holiday presents can be fun and exciting… until you open that wrapping paper only to discover an ugly Christmas sweater three sizes too big for you, or the same book you got (and still haven't read) last year. So Burger King has a suggestion: why not trade them in for a burger you may not want that much more, but won't have to store anywhere? [More]
Burger King Selling A Doughnut Burger For Hanukkah
If you love doughnuts, burgers, and burgers made with doughnuts, you might want to think about spending Hanukkah in Israel, where Burger King will be offering doughnut burgers for the holiday. [More]
Burger King Customers Upset To Find Nasty Messages Written On Food Wrappers
We get it: everyone can have a bad day at work. But if you work in a consumer-facing industry, taking out those frustrations on your customers could cost you your job. [More]
Burger King, KFC & 14 Other Restaurant Chains Still Earning "F" Grades For Antibiotics Policies
Last year, a coalition of public health advocates released a report card grading the nation's 25 biggest restaurant chains on their antibiotics policies. An astounding 20 of these chains earned "F" grades, usually for completely failing to address this issue. The newest report card shows that a number of restaurants have inched their way out of the basement, but the large majority of these companies appear to be completely ignoring antibiotics concerns.

Fantastic weekend again. This time I had a small issue with the selected room. I raised this issue with Georgiana and M.D on the next shift and they super efficiently addressed the problem. I can't thank them enough. The super duo work day in and day out with such an enthusiasm and dedication which is impressive. Can't wait till next time.

Modern room. Minimalist design. Comfortable bed. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again
Shower water pressure could be turned up a little but regardless still part of good bathroom. Also the free wifi isn't great for browsing/watching Netflix, so had choice but to pay for more powerful one. Maybe some sort of parking deal should be worked out with Stratford Westfield too (have to pay each time you leave car park)

"Before I realised it, three dead bodies on makeshift stretchers had been deposited at my feet. They were quite obviously dead. The seriousness of it became apparent when we got messages saying that a temporary mortuary had been set up in the gymnasium.
"Within a few minutes there seemed to be bodies everywhere. Fans, police officers and men from St John Ambulance were bringing stretchers over. The pitch was like a battlefield. There were bodies everywhere. Some people were dead; some appeared to be still alive and we went round trying to get them into the recovery position. People were bringing bodies over and then running back to the Leppings Lane end.
"I don't remember any particular feelings then. It was just shock. I think I was numb. We just sort of got on with what we were doing.
"A lot of us were sent round to the gymnasium at about 3.30. When I got there it was just unbelievable. There were bodies strewn everywhere."
Hillsborough had been part of Geoff Glave's landscape since he was a child, when he went there to watch Sheffield Wednesday. The ground was in his police division.
He speaks from an immaculate home on a small development in a former pit village. Glave, 46, and his wife, Elaine, 47, sold the home they had always aspired to in Fulwood, a comfortable middle-class part of Sheffield, after he retired from the South Yorkshire force on a police pension. His income was halved, forcing him and his wife to find a house that was pounds 30,000 cheaper. After years of anguish and depression following that fateful day, 15 April 1989, he was ready to leave Sheffield anyway.
A committed Christian, his life centres round his local evangelical church, his home and garden, and his family. He visits elderly people in the congregation, goes to Spanish classes and this year took GCSE French. The couple have two grown-up children.
He looks every inch the neat, conventional police constable he used to be; upright and decent. But beyond the clear grey eyes lies a fragile and guarded man after a mental battering he could never have imagined possible. He is easily brought to tears, even on happy occasions.
"We were trying to sort out the bodies. We were trying to get doctors to do a preliminary certification. We kept counting, starting off at 20, then 30, then 40, then we stopped counting ... 94 were eventually brought in. Each officer was given a body bag and a body to look after." The two brothers of the lad in Mr Glave's bag collapsed, beside themselves with grief, as he tried to extract some details.
"Policemen and women were sat round crying. They just couldn't cope with it. We were doing what we were doing without being able to believe it. We were there until past 1am.
"I've dealt with deaths before, and some quite horrific ones, but never on such a scale. We just seemed to be surrounded by deaths.
"There were these meals in hot boxes. The last thing we wanted to do was eat, but eventually people started say perhaps we ought to have something to eat. So we ended up sitting around among these bodies, eating. By this time it seemed normal. But it was macabre. It was like a living nightmare. There were officers who were really struggling.
"For the next fortnight we were all fairly quiet at work. There was a sort of numbness, disbelief.
"After about six months it was obvious there was something wrong. I had thought everyone else was suffering from depression, but it was me that was suffering.
"I was persuaded to see the force welfare officer. She advised me to go and see my doctor and go off sick. I started taking anti-depressants.
"I used to drop my wife off at work and drop the children off. Then I used to go and park the car and sit there and cry. I was desperate because I'd left my wife and children."
Glave had always liked a drink, but now it was increasing, a lot. "It was a couple of very large whiskies every night when I got home. It got to the point where I was dependent on having a drink to help me relax and unwind." His tolerance level, as he puts it, fell dramatically. "My wife and children used to go around keeping their heads down."
He had flashbacks, and one night a particularly bad nightmare. "I was stood on the terraces at Hillsborough and there was a sort of a greeny- black slime starting to ooze through. It was coming through the gaps in the concrete steps. I was trying to push myself away from it. I couldn't get away from it. I was trying to scream out 'help, help', or something. It was one of those situations where I was trying to scream but couldn't. I woke up and my wife was saying, 'What's the matter, what's the matter?' I was on all fours pushing at the pillow.
"I went back to work after a month. I thought I was better. I wasn't."
In December 1992 he went off sick with what he thought was a bad dose of flu. He never returned to work.
He was certified by a Leeds University psychiatrist as suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, now recognised as a distinct psychological condition.
Glave was the only one in his division who was going for counselling, although he says there were others who were suffering. "It's very much a macho thing, that you're a bobby. You can stand this sort of thing.
"People thought I'd grown two heads. There were all sorts of comments made about me when I went back to work, from people who had been there [at Hillsborough] and people who hadn't. Any newspaper articles were left prominently for me to find, articles about mental illness or stress.
"By about June 1993, the welfare officer said I was burnt out. I retired after 23 years.
"I had dreamt I was on a cricket pitch. All around me were people that I'd known. Senior officers from South Yorkshire and various other people were fielding. I was batting. As I was batting, the bowling was getting harder and harder. Someone kept coming up to me and taking the bat from me and giving me a smaller bat. Eventually, they took the bat off me and gave me something that looked like a thin polythene bag. I looked at it and looked around and smiled, dropped it and said you can stuff it and walked off the pitch. By the time I retired it was a great sense of relief that I'd not got to face any more of it."
When he and the five others who had played similar roles brought their claims before the High Court in Sheffield last year, Mr Justice Waller threw them out. The three defendants - the South Yorkshire force, Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and the engineers Eastwood and Partners - had admitted liability for negligence. But the judge ruled that the six were not "rescuers" and that their involvement had not been "within the area of proximity", making it unreasonable for them to recover damages when "bystanders" would not.
In last month's settlement at the door of the court, the three defendants agreed to pay out pounds 1.2m in damages to 14 other officers who had tried to save crushed and dying fans in the Leppings Lane pens.
Is there a real difference between the two groups?
"People say that we are chasing money, but we're actually trying to get some acknowledgement that we're not supermen or superwomen. We can cope with horrific situations, but not with something on the scale of Hillsborough.
"It was a lovely sunny day. We were enjoying being alive, working, looking forward to a semi-final, a tremendous atmosphere at Hillsborough. And then, suddenly, 94, and eventually 96, people were dead."
Glave had attended murder scenes in the past, and suicides. "You have a few sleepness nights and then you get over it."
The fact that so much blame was laid at the door of police officers has left an indelible scar. He won't be attending the Court of Appeal in London today after his experience at the hearing in Sheffield.
"There were relatives down there. When I came out they were screaming at me that I murdered their son. I was ill for about a week after that. I just can't cope with that. The thing I can't cope with is actually being blamed, when all I was doing was doing my job and trying to sort out the mess afterwards.
"It was obvious that a lot of people had turned up without tickets. A lot of people had drunk a hell of a lot before - who were determined to get into the ground and they didn't care who got in the way. I'm not blaming Liverpool fans or Forest fans. But South Yorkshire police were not the only ones to blame.
"Yes, it does make me feel angry. The numbers of officers claiming has been whittled down [originally 150, now 37]. There's been a lot of emotional blackmail."
He does not believe he has the mental or emotional strength to hold down a job. "I could not cope with the rigours of it. I have a very short fuse. I have to avoid situations of conflict, and things like crowds, which threaten to wind me up or make me feel claustrophobic.
"I still think about it. There are constant reminders, like every time a football match is mentioned."
As we speak, he gets a phone call from his daughter to say she has just graduated in social science. Elaine, formerly a school secretary, is now studying social science as well. "I think they're trying to figure me out."

In a surprise move, Nintendo plans to put games on mobile devices in a tie-up with Japanese mobile gaming giant DeNA.
Mobile gaming giant DeNA is hoping a streaming platform that serves up plenty of female idol singers beloved by "otaku," or obsessive geeks, can be a hit with users outside Japan.
DeNA, a major mobile platform operator based in Japan, on Tuesday announced a new international calling service for smartphones.
Japanese mobile platform operator DeNA said Wednesday it will offer its core game software on the Aliyun mobile OS developed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

War is the plague that human beings bring upon themselves. It is also a plague we might be able to end. On any given day since you and I were born, some part of the world has been at warin 2003 the total number of open conflicts was thirty. In the twentieth century at least 108 million people died in wars. Of the 20 largest military budgets on earth, 14 belong to developing countries. The United States spends more on its military than the next 16 countries combined

What is online gambling?
Online gambling is a phenomenon that began about 10 years ago and has kept growing ever since. For all the people who are unaware of what it is, we will be discussing just that. Online gambling is basically gambling on the internet at virtual casinos. Games that people play at regular casinos are available on internet such as blackjack, pachinko, roulette, poker and many others. With over hundreds of websites offering people the opportunity to wager on sporting events and play casino games, it is one of the fastest growing activity online. All people have to do is log on to a gambling website and start playing hundreds of games for actual money. An example of an online casino is Agen Bola terpercaya which offers an interactive platform for online gambling.
The comfort, ease and the overall convenience has attracted a large number of internet users, who are trying their luck at online gambling. Now, about 5 million people are gambling online rather than the conventional way of going to a land-based casino. In the online casino there is no real dealer as in traditional casinos, and there is almost none or negligible interaction between the players. All the games in online gambling are computer operated which also makes it a faster experience for the players. People can easily play their favorite games at the luxury of their homes without having to essentially drive hours to physical casinos. This is what online gaming is all about.

How No Deposit Bonus Works & How you Can Benefit from it
Nowadays, you see a lot of hype about no deposit bonus casinos where you can sign up, grab the bonus and play for real money. There has been a great variety of some traditional and modern betting joints rising on the verge. Each one of them trying to capture as many people as they can with some fancy banners. Not to mention that many of the casinos have developed multiple extras together with some great prized for newcomers and the experienced players. Each day you see a new casino with a fancy banner saying, 'Hey! Join us and we'll give you free cash to Play".
Is it beneficially to play with the no deposit bonus. Well, of course, YES! You are not wagering real money. You have the chance to practice your skills before you can deposit real cash. Not to mention that all the winnings you get are available for withdrawal. For you to be able to withdraw that money, you need to deposit a certain fixed amount. You can call that a trap but after all, casinos also have to make money. So, all of that money earned after several endeavors still remains out of your reach unless you deposit that certain amount.
No deposit bonuses are essential aim of many casino guests. No deposit bonus casinos give you this opportunity.
With continuous practice, you can get a huge advantage of more winnings in every game. Always start with the American Roulette. It yields a lot of profits when it comes to making money from the cash deposited.
Best Online Poker Websites of 2016
It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live or whatever are your gaming preferences like bankroll, geographic location. We will help you to find some of the best online poker websites of 2016 that bring in value, best promotions, helps to boost your bankroll and give you the opportunity to play online poker both free and for real money. You can participate in tournaments, social vibe and try new things that are worth you signing up for these platforms. Above all, you will meet new players, try different lobbies and gain more experience.
1: 888 Poker
It is a great website, and 90% of the people prefer playing Poker at 888 Poker. Though some say the software isn't that good as the website is still there are loads of games inside to choose from and play. The only thing to dislike are those shitty ads during the game.
2: William Hill Poker
A website that clicks your mind whenever someone says poker. It is also the oldest and largest bookmakers in the UK and it receives tons of traffic and promotions. They also offer $16 million in prize money every month to one of the lucky players, probably the top grinders in the poker world. The website gets shit loads of traffic and most of the times all the tables are filled with some wild and loose players.
Their software is very solid, and the lobby has a great and user-friendly design with a great 24/7 customer service.
3: BandarQ
Last but not the least is the BandarQ online poker platform. It is one of the tops and leading online gambling sites of Indonesia. What makes it great is that you don't need to download any software. Signup, deposit money, sit on a table and start gambling right away.
Bookmaker Bonus Rules
So, you have just signed up for a new bookmaker and can't wait to grab the bookmaker bonus. Whenever you signup for a new bookmaker, you will get a deposit bonus, also known as a free bet. The reality is that most of the bookmakers never allow you to withdraw the bonus unless you have bet the full amount of bonus by sometimes and at a certain minimum odd usually set by the bookmaker. So, is it possible to create a sure bet and convert that bonus into guaranteed cash? Well, the answer is YES, and one of the most popular bonuses giving offers is by Bet365 that offer 200 pounds of bonus with the code MAXBET. Still, as a general bookmaker rule, you have to bet the full amount of the bonus three times with each of the bet which must be at a minimum odd of 1.50.
Once you have signed up for a bookmaker and made your first deposit, you will receive the bonus right away. Next, you have to play a bet with your bookmaker. You can choose any sports you like but I recommend go for Football league, especially the Premier League. Now you will choose a match from the given options and place a "Lay Bet" which is usually wagered for an event to become true. So, if you bet that Southampton will win, and if it does you will win your bet.
If you have deposited $100, you will get additional $100 because of 100% bonus. In other words, you will be betting with $200. Now if you win the bet at odds of 1.75, you will get $350, giving you a profit of $150. However, this depends on your luck, and if luck plays its part, you can simply withdraw those earnings. Still, go to the terms and condition section.

We recommend bookmarking this website, so you can easily find them in future.
Why You Should Not Play Poker For a Living?
Playing poker as your permanent gig sounds so cool especially when you are great at it. You get to say goodbye to the 8:00am – 5:00pm routine and choose your own working hours. You can even take a vacation whenever you want. And let's not forget it's one of the most intriguing games in the world that gives you such a great rush. However, you need to know a few not so good things before you decide to take this road.
- You will need to work hard
You can only play poker for a living if you are a winning player. To become one, you will have to buy just about every book on poker and read almost everything you can get your hands on about the game poker. There will also be hours of training and practice before you can get into the big leagues. Be prepared for losses and disappointments along the way.
- You will have to set income
Be prepared to have big wins, small wins, huge losses and a few small losses too. You will have to be prepared for anything and know how to manage your finances well.
- Be prepared to work all day
Before you become a pro poker player playing really high limits, you might have to spend hours on end playing so as to meet the rent and pay the other bills you need to be. Sitting in front of a computer or in a casino all day is not only exhausting but causes great health risks.
- It will be hard balancing your other obligations
Family, house chores and other responsibilities including a friend's wedding will be calling for your attention. It might be hard balancing your new 'job' with all these other things especially when no one seems to understand how being your own boss is not as easy as it sounds.
Either way if it's your passion, this should only prepare you not discourage you. Go for it. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Different Ways to Bet on Sports
If you're brand-new to sports betting, this web page will certainly seek to teach you the significant kinds of wagers. We'll utilize the image over as a referral for several of them. Particularly, we'll focus on the Rams/Vikings video game, which resembles this:
Almost in all types of bet on sports, the odds are on a "to one" basis. Simply put, you always obtain your wager back, plus payouts, if you win. So, as an example, if you must wager $11 to win $10, then you would present $11 at the home window, and also the writer will provide you a ticket worth $21 if it wins.
Cash Line
Cash Line wagers are simply on which will certainly win. No factor spreads or any other nonsense.
In most cases, one of the teams will be favored over the other one. So, if you wager the underdog, after that you're compensated with greater than even money if they win. If you want to bet the preferred, then you will certainly need to risk greater than just what you stand to win.
Point Spread
One of the most common means to wager football and basketball is with a point spread. A lot of sporting activities bettors like a wager that has concerning a 50% opportunity to win. Anything below that and you will probably not win.
To have about a fifty-fifty opportunity of winning a bank on an uneven game, like the Rams vs. Vikings over, the sporting activities books have actually created the "point spread."
Total Bets resemble point spread bets, other than the wagerer bets on the overall number of points that are scored.
How is the game of poker played?
The term poker is heard, and the first thing in mind comes as the game of gambling. This particular game belongs to the family of the card games. Most games in gambling are all about betting and the major thing focused in all such type of the games is about the betting and making money while you enjoy it.
Many wish to learn poker, but the main thing that happens in this is to have patience. The professional poker players have gained so much knowledge because of the number of months and years that they had invested in learning and in mastering this game.
Some of us want the professional poker tips so that we could master the game without wasting money by directly playing in poker.
In a casual gameplay of the poker, the way in dealing hand typically has to be rotated between the players and then that is marked by a token which is called the dealer button. Then the house dealer at the casino handles a card that is decided for each hand.
All cards have to be dealt in the clockwise direction on the poker table and also one at a time. Some players are supposed to do the forced bets that are usually the blind bet or the ante. The dealer has to shuffle all cards and then the player should get the right cuts and also that dealer has to deal properly with appropriate cards in terms of proper numbers one at a time.
The poker tips are numerous when it's about the playing of this game with proper techniques. There are many tips out there for playing poker. The first is always to play the game only when you are not drunk because decisions often go wrong in such state. And make sure you don't set high limits because that could lead to loss of money instead of profiting. Paying attention to other players' way of playing can also save you from making a mistake that may occur while you face a similar situation in the game of poker.

Sensitive, intuitive, thoughtful and passionate. Pragmatic idealist. Sarcastic by nature but getting bored with its emotional distance (I like to think earnest is the new irony). I follow my heart rather than societal norms, or whatever's hip, and have an occasional itch for the subversive or avant-garde.
A few things that turn me on include affection, a gentle touch, nuance, wit, vulnerability, summer breezes, trains, street photography, minor key melodies, good writing, integrity.
One of my guy friends says "She has a righteous and raucous laugh, fights for the underdog, is wise in ways that will smooth the rough spots, is open, is ready, is worthy, and so deserving of a great relationship with a wonderful man."
Finding beauty in the ordinary
Seeing potential
Navigating cities
Discussing local politics
Entertaining myself
Newspapers (Globe, Dot Reporter, Dig, NYT), magazines (New Yorker, Dwell), blogs (The Atlantic CityLab, Tiny Life, Blue Mass Group, Velvet Blue) and FB links occupy my time more than novels or nonfiction these days. Exceptions are graphic novels (Hyperbole and a Half, Persepolis, Fun Home). I long for time to get lost in a great book. A few of my old favorites include Bean Trees, Great Gatsby, Unbearable Lightness of Being. Periodically pick up Moby Dick.
I'd rather be snuggling with my sweetheart, out on the town or talking on the phone than watching T.V. That said, I've been binging on Portlandia. Also like Louie, Girls, Daily Show, TED.
Love movies, esp. oldies, indies and documentaries. I really dug Searching for Sugarman and Finding Vivian Maier. Rear Window, Annie Hall, The Graduate, Rushmore, Lost in Translation, Grey Gardens, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Wings of Desire are just a few of my all-time favs.
Can't live without music. And I love to hear it live, esp. roots/alt country/bluegrass: Eilen Jewell, Session Americana, Lowell Folk Fest. I try not to miss Sunday Morning Country on 'ZBC. Also into most stuff from the '60s: everything from the Beatles to Motown, Love to the Stooges, Nina Simone to Simon and Garfunkel, Burt Bacharach to Herbie Hancock. Plus Bach (when in the right mood), Leonard Cohen, Black Keys, White Stripes, Broken Bells, Rodriguez, Ry Cooder, Latin/Afro Cuban/Brazilian, etc., etc.
I'm a pescetarian and a carb-aholic. Trying, but not always succeeding, to curb the carbs and eat a bit healthier these days. I'm into breakfast, fish and some seafood, sushi, well prepared veggies, fruit, hole-in-the wall Mexican, upscale Vietnamese.
Yeah, that's seven. I'm not known for brevity.
Here's one for you to mull over: I like Karen Carpenter's voice and not in an ironic sense.
Bonus if you have (or used to have) dark hair on your head and other places. Salt and pepper counts. Not a deal breaker if you don't.
In addition to the check boxes, here's what I'm looking for:
Long term. My best relationships, romantic and otherwise, have developed and deepened over time. While I don't have much experience with friends first, I'm open to it.
Ideally, you'd be close to my age or a little younger, but if we're compatible in other respects, don't let this hinder you.
Other things on my wish list:
You're compassionate, loving, smart and a little zany.
You like to talk and listen.
You share some of my interests and you'd like to introduce me to some of yours.
You enjoy life and have a (mainly) positive outlook.
You're a good kisser.
You're environmentally conscious and spiritually curious (or at least it doesn't wig you out).

Awesome plot .;-)Type your review here.
| kayden-sparks chapter 39 . 9/2/2015
Wow! I absolutely LOVED this story! I appreciate how well it was written. I love the characters, the action it was all great. I was worried Samantha was going to get a little Mary Sue, but you kept her strong, yet believable. I loved this story! I'd really love a story Zach as the main character. Love the bad boy *wink wink* Anyways just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading this. Thank you and good luck with any further writing!

| Guest chapter 40 . 4/28/2015
I think 'Samantha' is a wonderful story and was glad to once more come across this gem, but I do feel that it needs one last chapter added to it, or an epilogue. BADLY. James and Sam go through so much in this story and one chapter, filled with peace and toe-curling delight to be found in only each others' company, would go a long way in rounding up their whirlwind romance (at least in my opinion). What might make it even more poignant is if you were to include Brian's funeral too. It might be a nice way to balance out the end; to pay respect to a beloved friend and great character, while finally giving James and Sam a dose of the happiness they undoubtedly deserve. I know you haven't written anything for this in a long time (or at least posted anything), but seeing as you did put so much energy, patience and care into it, I think it'd be worth making the effort to write just a little bit more. I know I for one would be glad to read it! Thank you for sharing (and leaving up!) this lovely piece of work.
All the best,
| heya chapter 40 . 4/11/2015
You took 9 yrs to write this? Wow.
Anyways it was good. I really liked Zack's character, almost thought he would turn out to be one of the good ones at the end. Brian was good too. Aww, but u really could improve a lot on the ending. That is if u ever got back here. he he. I wish u would write more. You are good at this. Either way Good Luck ;)
