- Ergon says strategy aligns with interim report
Published: 4 Dec 2015 2:23pm
AN interim report of the Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap project aligns well with Ergon's long-held strategic objective of empowered customers, says Ergon Energy Chief Executive Ian McLeod.
Mr McLeod welcomed the key findings of the interim report, released on Thursday 3 December, saying they were not only in alignment with the company's focus on customers, but also the adoption of new technologies such as larger scale renewables on the grid.
"Queensland is certainly a leader in the transformation with the highest penetration of rooftop solar in the world and significant enquiry for connection of new large scale solar and wind projects to the Ergon grid. We are and will continue to be a key enabler of a cleaner energy future."
At the launch in Canberra this week project partners CSIRO and the Energy Networks Association (ENA) said Australia's energy system would see a historic transfer of power from energy utilities to customers.
The release of the interim report is a milestone for the CSIRO and ENA which are partnering to develop a ten-year transition plan for an electricity sector focused on customers.
ENA CEO John Bradley said the big shift in Australia's energy future was the transfer of decision-making and control from a handful of energy utilities to millions of Australian customers.
"CSIRO's latest analysis shows more than $224 billion – or more than a quarter - of all electricity system expenditure to 2050 is likely to be made by consumers," Mr Bradley said.
"The Grid can enable that transformation while maintaining a highly reliable, quality service to meet the needs of customers. The Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap will assist Australia's electricity system to support customer choice and control, reduce costs, ensure fairness and deliver the clean energy transition.
"CSIRO analysis indicates a modernised electricity grid remains important to even the most decentralised scenarios - but this relies on the value it can provide to customers," he added.
Mr Bradley said that the business model of the network could evolve fundamentally to a 'platform provider', enabling new energy services and uses, as opposed to the conventional 'poles and wires' service.
"Australia has a clear window of opportunity to reshape our electricity system to enable the customer-driven take up of new services, like renewable and low-emission generation, home automation, battery storage, and electric vehicles," Mr Bradley said.
The Network Transformation Roadmap, to be released in late 2016, will identify specific actions for businesses, policy and regulation as part of an integrated pathway for Australia's energy transition over the next decade.
Mr McLeod said Ergon Energy fully supported the findings and was committed to responsibly and prudently providing a platform which provided market-driven opportunities for all customers.
"As active participants in the Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap project, we're certainly looking forward to future findings and recommendations arising from this great initiative," he said.
Key findings in the Interim Report include:
- In the next ten years, storage costs could fall by approximately two-thirds and the cost of solar panels will fall by a third.
- The outlook for long-term electricity customer bills has improved since 2013 modelling and sees a slightly lower share of income spent on electricity than previously expected - due partly to the benefits of battery storage to the system.
- There will be stronger incentives to take up solar panels but also the potential for increased cross subsidies among customers if cost-reflective pricing is not addressed.
- The electricity sector could play a significant role in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with up to 51% abatement in the sector by 2030.
- The electricity grid has a key enabling role in all scenarios although it may be used very differently – as a 'platform' for new energy services.

The Great Commandment: Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40)
- To love the Lord your God is: Worshiping God in Spirit and truth;
- To love your neighbor is: Serving in our God-given areas of ministry.
The Great Commission: Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:18-20)
- To go and make disciples is: Reaching Out and leading others to saving faith in Jesus Christ;
- To baptize is: to follow through with Jesus' teaching of salvation and gift of the Holy Spirit;
- To teach is: Growing in the likeness of Christ through discipleship.

Toro Inoue, Spike, Sackboy, Parappa, Fat Princess would lose right off the bat. They're not violent characters.
Sly Cooper, Sir Dan, Heihachi would survive a little bit longer because of their skills, gadgets, and such.
Sweet Tooth, Ratchet, and Jak would ultimately beat those guys. The trunk, Ratchet's weapons, Dark Jak, come on..
If Nathan Drake and Colonel Radec had their sniper rifle and explosives, they headshot the guys above. And blow up Sweet Tooth's truck. And maybe even challenge (hold their ground, not beat) someone like Cole thanks to stealth and fire power.
Drake, Ratchet, Jak, and Radec would stand no chance to Raiden due to his speed. And he could cut through Sweet Tooth's truck.
Any of the remaining guys (Raiden, both Coles, Kratos, Nariko) could take down Big Daddy if the other three already haven't.
Cole vs. Raiden would be interesting. I don't think Cole is fast enough to beat Raiden and Raiden isn't powerful enough to defeat Cole.. I'm leaning more toward Cole though. He's taken down a character as big as a mountain. He could just throw electric grenades and not give a crap and destroy Raiden with the destruction. If that doesn't work, he has the vortex and lightning storm.
Kratos, Nariko, and Dante would defeat Cole. Cole would be valnerable when he has to get more electricty.
Kratos and Nariko are the God and Goddess of War. but i feel like Kratos would win. He has more abilities and has proven himself.. And has killed so many Gods. And people as big as mountains.
It would come down to Dante vs. Kratos. And Kratos would win. This Dante is younger. Kratos can gather a new abilities and challenge time and itself and get right back up to Dante.
You're logic is flawed. It would ultimately come down to Krato and Raiden. Kratos could just use the Golden Fleece to reflect all of Cole's powers and defeat him with that, so Cole's gone alot earlier than the finalists. Raiden's high-frequency sword has proven that it can slice through Gekko like a hot knife through butter, so no one would stand a chance - even Sweet Tooth's mech. And since it would come down to Krato (pure power and golden fleece to defeat his enemies) and Raiden (for having nearly unstoppable close-range katana), Raiden would win just because none of Kratos' weapons could defend against Raiden's sword and the fact that he's so much faster/more agile.

The beginning & an End.Mature
I didn't have any choice of moving from where I had spent my childhood. To be honest, I had no idea I was moving till two weeks ago. I wasn't gonna fight with them, so I just packed my things and waited for the day we left Quinntown.
The car was packed up and ready to go. I was told we were moving to AmVis Falls. From what I've heard, it was Pavana's newest city. All I had to do was live through my last school day at Mahgurll High. "
The final day in such a vacent house, and its almost like ghosts have slowly taken over. Too bad this place was never a home, I just might miss this place. But fuck it, if I have to spend another day in this godforsaken place, I just might jump out the second story window.
I wake up in what I had once called my room and drag myself to the washroom across the hall to have a shower. When all is clean I dry myself off and throw on the last outfit this town will see me in. I fill my pockets with the usual. A pack of gum, my cell phone, my keys, iPod, and a note I've handwritten in such a way that ever so mirrors my mother's. Speaking of mirros, I look into one to see that all is good. I put my expensive headphones on, and stride downstairs. (Dwight, my step-dad, thinks he can buy love.What a fool.) My morning hits the usual speedbump as soon as I walk into the kitchen.
"Come home right after school, okay? I don't want you missing out on dinner, Dwight is making us something special before we head out. Besides, its your turn to watch Garrett."
"huh?" I take my headphones off.
"Come home after school to watch your step-brother"
"Why can't the step-sister do it?"
"She has a project to finish, so please come home okay?"
"Whatever you say mom. I really gotta go. Love ya, bye."
"aren't you gonna eat anything?"
I'm not that hungry, I'll pick somehting up on the way to school."
"Okay, have a good day hun and I'll see you whe I get home."
I walk out the door and lock it with a single key. I put the key into the mailbox and head towards my car. Its pink in the front and black in the back. With a pretty little lady on the driver's side. Lets just say my car's like something out of The Fast and The Furious. I hop in and plug in my iPod. Suddenly the bass gets booming. Dwight, you fool, I tell myself every morning and this one's no different. I back out of the drive way and on to the road. Everyone on the block hears me as I leave to school.

Just My Imagination by The Temptations Songfacts
The song is about a guy who is madly in love with a girl, but they're only together in his imagination. Every day, he watches her walk by his window, and in his reverie he pictures their life together. In reality, she doesn't even know him.
Motown writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong wrote "Just My Imagination" in the late '60s, but since psychedelic songs were popular at the time, they decided to wait a few years before releasing it. Whitfield pulled it out of the mothballs after the relative failure of The Temptations' "Ungena Za Ulimwengu (Unite the World)," which hit #33 in 1970 (unacceptable by their standards). Whitfield felt they needed to change direction to stay on top of the game, so he steered Temptations away from their string of socially relevant songs and had them record this airy ballad. The strategy worked, and the song rose to #1 in America.
This was the last single for the Temptations with Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams in the group. Eddie started a solo career and in 1973 scored his biggest hit with "Keep On Truckin'." Williams remained on salary as an advisor, but was plagued with personal problems - he was separated from his wife, owed back taxes and was being treated for alcoholism. He committed suicide in 1973 at age 34.

Bertrand - Paris, France
This was the third of four #1 hits by the Temptations. The track was released in February 1971, and took off right away, peaking at #1 in April.
The Rolling Stones covered this in 1978 for their album
Some Girls
. It wasn't the first time they covered a Temptations song: in 1974 they had a hit with "
Ain't Too Proud To Beg
," taking it to #17. That song was a good fit for the group's swaggering rock sound, but without the wistful, lovelorn feel, their take on "Just My Imagination" lost some impact.
"It was anything but romantic," the song's writer Norman Whitfield said in

This sing together with the orchestration arrangement is one of the rinest and most amazing musical creations of all time. This song could have been expanded into so many movements and the story could have been told such that it would have been a timeless classic. Truly inspired, this tune is one of the best four minutes in the history of music and just keaves one wantimg more.
Chuck - Seattle
On May 30th 1980, the Temptations hosted the NBC-TV program 'The Midnight Special' and opened the show with this song.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
On January 31st 1971, the Temptations performed "Just Imagination (Running Away With Me)" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
And on that very same day it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on March 28th, 1971 it peaked at #1 (for 2 weeks) and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 (and for 9 of those 15 weeks it was in the Top 10)...
It entered the Top 10 at #4, stayed at #4 the following week, then moved to #3 for 1 week, next was #2 for 1 week, and finally two weeks at #1...
On February 28th, 1971 it reached #1 (for 3 weeks) on Billboard's R&B Sngles chart...
The Rolling Stones covered it in 1978; was track 3 on their 16th American studio album, 'Some Girls'.
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
Great song; one the greatest intros of all time!!!
Just a good song that even the Stones version is passable...
Barry - Sauquoit, Ny
The Stones remade this song on their 1978 smash album, Some Girls. The Stones called the song "Imagination," and change some of the lyrics to make them more sexually suggestive. The Stones' version is superior to the Temps. The Stones also do a better "Ain't To Proud To Beg" than the Temps. But the Stones' version of "My Girl" isn't listenable.
David - Youngstown, Oh
Didn't the Stones do a cover of this?
David - Atlanta, Ga
My how I let my imagination run away with me when I hear this song. Saw the Temps at Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana in the early 70's. God do me a favor and take me back just one more time.
George - Louisville, Ky
This is the best song Eddie Kendricks ever sang REST IN PEACE EDDIE
Jimmy - Knox, Tn
Man this is as good as Motown gets--what a song of perfection. Sad and evocative and poignant and SO SO beautiful!
Thanks, Matt, Raleigh, NC for that tidbit. Interesting to listen for.
Guy - Woodinville, Wa
I wrote a great comment about My Girl and I think the same comment can be used here. I simply get so emotional when I hear this song, too. I really can be anywhere -- hear the first few notes and I just shut out the world and melt. It's amazing, it really is.
Laura - Hacienda Heights, Ca
Sorry, that was Eddie Kendricks who sang lead.
Matt - Raleigh, Nc
Classic Jamerson lines - "I Was Made to Love Her", Bernadette", "What's Going on", etc. He inspired all bass players contemporaneous and those who came afterwards. Jamerson is Electric Bass 101.
Matt - Raleigh, Nc
The orchestration in this song is unbelievable - tympani, harp, french horns, strings, etc. you can hear Paul Williams open his mouth to sing in between the 1st and 2nd lines. Such clarity and creativity in these types of recordings is sorely missed these days - and only 3 chords! An ironic farewell to both this lineup of the Temps and Motown's Detroit years, as shortly therafter, both were gone.
Matt - Raleigh, Nc
I have always liked the Temptations, and this is one of my favorite. It's a very sad song, tear jerker, I guess I like those
Mary - Yuma, Az
You're OK, I just equate a Motown Bass Groove on a song like "Reach Out I'll Be There" or "My Girl", that's all.
Sorry I misunderstood...
Dave - Oak Park, Mi
I wasn't saying that this bass line was ONE that inspired the McCartney bass. I meant that the Motown sound was the thing-this is an example of that Motown groove. Sorry if I came across unclear.
Brian - Sydney, Canada
QUOTE: "Great song! The bass playing is that great Motown groove that inspired Paul McCartney in the mid-'60's. It changed his approach to songwriting and his own blass playing. A great song from a great singing group."
Eh, I don't really notice anything that special about the Bass-lines on a song from NINETEEN-SEVENTY-ONE that would'a made its way into Paul McCartney's Bass Playing in the SIXTIES.
Other than it being a "Great Song", I think that above fact is useless.
Dave - Oak Park, Mi
Great song! The bass playing is that great Motown groove that inspired Paul McCartney in the mid-'60's. It changed his approach to songwriting and his own blass playing. A great song from a great singing group.
Brian - Sydney, Canada
Very lovely song...how pining fo another hurts!!
Julie - Marquette, Mi
Who among us has not loved a person and not had that love returned? This song poignantly captures that feeling, perhaps more perfectly than any other song.
Jay - New York, Ny
One of the saddest love songs ever written: it's all in his mind. "But in reality...she doesn't even know me." Heartbreaking and unforgettable.
Clarke - Pittsburgh, Pa

Cleveland Cavaliers Point Guard Kyrie Irving Could Leave Team
Kyrie Irving may be the next superstar to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the point guard is threatening to leave if the team doesn't improve soon.
Chemistry is a major issue there and some of that is on Mike Brown. But more of it is on the collection of players in Cleveland at the moment. Something has to happen quick. Kyrie Irving has been telling people privately he wants out. Cleveland can't afford to lose him and LeBron. They know the urgency. I expect them to be major players at the deadline.
Cavs could try to get LeBron James back when he becomes a free agent. Yet, that could be a long shot. Another option would be trying to lure Carmelo Anthony, but due to recent comments, I can't imagine him going to Cleveland.
Keeping Luol Deng is a great piece to start, as he can leave as a free agent next season.
Should Irving leave? Let us know!

I buy these for my boys every year. I have never had any issues with size before. But this year looking at the size chart I should have ordered the 12 for my son. After reading the reviews I decided to order the 11. They are still huge on him and unwearable. They fit my daughter who wears a size 1. That being said I will order a smaller pair because I love that my kids can wear their crocs anywhere and I don't have to worry about them getting dirty.
Girls nne Girls love fashion. For a jautny day in the park including a wade in the pool, banded crocs are supreme. Later to be kicked of for shiny ballet flats.
This shoe is durable however it is a bit too stiff for my 7 year old son, also the charging portal was pushed in on one of the charging incidents.
You can dress it up or down. Make it blend in or flashy. Everyone that saw them commented how cool they were and handsome and dapper my son was. Some even said he looked like a model. They were amazed at how fashionable he was for a 6 year old child. This is a product that should become part of the permanent basic line. I have degree in International Management and German so I have worked in the corporate world domestic and internationally. I also enjoy and watch fashion, music and movies from ... around the world. These shoes are awesome for someone on the go who may also have to change through various settings during the day.
Great selection of cleats and prices! Fast and free shipping where the cherries on top!
They didn't have the shoes in the store, but the associate at the store helped me order them and have them shipped to my house.
I purchased a pair of these boots for my grandson. He loved these boots. The price was great. Shipping was fast and FREE! The quality was top notch! He put these on immediately upon opening at Christmas! Academy you do not disappoint. I have purchased footwear 2 years in a row from you for grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Everyone was pleased!
I bought these boots on the opening day of our new store. They didn't have the size we needed so was able to order them online in the shoe department. It was super simple. The boots arrived at our home a couple of days later. My son loves them and they go with every outfit even shorts! Durable enough for sloshing through mud, nice enough to wipe down and wear with kacki slacks for a nice event. Durable leather and thick soles should allow these boots to last us until he grows out of them, which ... is a plus for us!
This was a nice flip flop, but It was very wide and long for a Junior size 2. I wear a women's size 7 and I could wear this shoe with just a bit of my heal hanging off the back.(see pic) Another problem was that there was no strap on the pair I received, there wasn't even a place for the strap to go. So before you buy these, measure your child's foot and order based on that, not what size shoes they wear now.
Comfortable and perfect for our 5 & 8 year old. No need to break them in. When you purchase them for juniors it changes the shoe style. The elastic band on the back is removed for juniors but it doesn't show that in the picture.
The shoes fit my child perfect he thought they were very comfortable. Even the dog thought they were great tasking as he got a hold of them the first day and proceeded to chew the cleats off of them. Guess i need to
I bought soccer cleats for daughter and the arrived a short few days later! The website was easy to use and free shipping!
I play crazy good in these ,like really unbelievable
I bought the shoes for my sons Allstar Soccer. He loves them and it was easy ordering and they shipped and arrived so quick.
Great summer shoes for a good price. The only con - and it is temporary - is that my son said the massage footbeds hurt his feet the first few times he wore them. After a few days, they were fine though.
Really excited my order came in so quickly - perfect for my granddaughter's soccer. Adidas are always popular for soccer - just what she wanted !
I bought this shoe almost 6 months ago and it's still like new my son is 4 about to be five and has worn them every single day outside all day long most days and they are holding great
i bought these and thought they were a little stiff at first, but then again aren' t all shoes? it turns out that they eventually mold to your feet but i would still choose tennis shoes these any day, just for the cushion.
Bought these a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! They go with a large variety of my outfits, which is great!
I still can't get over how great of quality these shoes are for the price I paid, I got my 8yo half a size bigger then he normally wears and they fit perfect. I would definitely recommend these !!
We couldn't get the size shoe we was looking for. So we ordered from the store & the worker said they should be at my home by 3-5 business days. Well they came in 2 days. And they fit well for my daughter who says she is a future pro soccer player. Thank Academy
I looked at a few places oline before getting to Academy and when I got here I fell in love with the overall price including shipping I will be shopping here again.
These shoes last pretty long and are durable. Also stylish and comfortable.
these are holding up pretty well! very soft and comfortable
Bought these for my son. He loves the fit and feel and that they are very stylish.
o libe I'm Pauls Valley. Okla. couldn't. Find the shoes my daughter. Needed for her. Dance recital I drove 32 miles to Norman Oklahoma To academy found the shoes I needed. But not the size. The salesman helped me look. Could not. Find the size he said we can order them. Have them shipped to. Your house. At no extra charge I paid for the shoes. Right where we were standing the sales person had a machine. That. You could order and pay and have. Them shipped and guess. What the shoes arrived at my ... house. The next day. And they were affordable to thanks academy
Bought these for our Grandson and he loved them. As usual the Crocs products are good quality.
These sandals are great. Easy for kids to get on and off quickly by themselves. We wear these to the amusement park where they can get wet, dry quickly, but still have more comfort and support than flip flops. We get some every summer.
My daughter loved these shoes but they didn't have her size in the store. They are a little wider which she needs. Easy to slip on and comfortable. Glad we were able to find them on the website. Ordering was quick and easy!
With a wide array of athletic boys' shoes available, your child will be sure to find what he needs to get in the game. Our selection of boys' running shoes features lightweight designs that will help him outrace the competition, while our choice of boys' basketball shoes incorporates advanced technologies to let him shoot and score with ease.

Our array of hiking boots will help him keep comfortable during long expeditions, while hunting boots help him stay hidden while waiting for game. Western boots give him a great look when he's out on the town.

Damn. And I thought I was desperate. At first glance I thought the headline read, "Old Cooch."
From The Smoking Gun.
SEPTEMBER 24--A Wisconsin man has been accused of having sex with an abandoned couch, police report.
The human-furniture coupling was interrupted earlier this month when an off-duty cop out jogging late one night spotted Gerard Streator, 46, trysting with the yellow couch, which had been left at a Waukesha curb.
As detailed in a misdemeanor criminal complaint charging Streator with lewd and lascivious behavior, Officer Ryan Edwards reported seeing "a subject leaning over the couch facing down and it looked like he was having sexual relations with someone on the couch." The cop noted that he "could see the male's hips thrusting up and down on the couch."
As he approached the couch, Edwards yelled, "What are you doing?" Streator, investigators allege, responded by jumping up and running away. As Streator fled, Edwards reported, he "could see that the defendant's penis was erect."
Edwards concluded that Streator "had been thrusting his pelvic area against the cushions and trying to sexually gratify himself by rubbing his penis between the two cushions." It is unclear whether the reference to two cushions meant that the couch was, in fact, a love seat.
Edwards chased Streator to his apartment building, but the suspect "quickly pulled the door closed behind him." He was arrested the following day at the hotel where he works.
Streator is scheduled to appear next Monday in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Have you ever "had" a velour couch? No? Then don't be so quick to judge. Or wide wale courderoy (pretty sure that's where Trojan got the idea for ribbed condoms). A divan is divine, but wicker is quicker(cuz...owww!).ReplyDelete

My in-laws recently returned from a sunny vacation in Florida and with them, they brought back some delicious strawberries. Fresh berries in Ohio grocery stores are usually pretty tart and tasteless this time of year, and the Florida produce is just another reason to love this buckeye state we call home.
I've made this dessert a few times before (this time for dinner at a friends' house) and it now ranks up towards the top of Robert's favorites. If you're looking for a way to jazz it up even more, you can add a drizzle of hot fudge sauce for all the chocolate lovers in your life; or you can make the tart into tartlettes for individual treats. Any way you decide, you can't go wrong.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Strawberry Cream Cheese Tart
Yield: 8 servings
For the crust
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
For the filling
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 16 ounce container of strawberries, sliced
1. Prepare the crust: Whisk together the egg yolk, cream, and vanilla. Set aside. Place the flour, salt, and powdered sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add in the butter cubes and pulse until mixture is crumbly and the size of peas. With the food processor running, slowly add the liquid mixture to the butter/flour mix until the dough just comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and mold into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
2. Place the dough in the tart pan: Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Unwrap and place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 13-inch round. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough to the sides of the tart pan, removing the excess off the top as needed. Put the tart pan on a large plate and freeze for 30 minutes.
3. Bake the crust: While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the chilled dough/pan from the freezer and mold tin foil into the shell and over the edge of the tart pan. Place pie weights on top of the foil (I used dry beans). Bake for 30 minutes, rotating halfway through the baking time. Take out of the oven and gently remove the foil and weights. Continue to bake until deep golden brown, 5-8 minutes longer. Allow to cool on a baking rack.
4. Make the filling: Place the cream cheese into a bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium high until smooth and no lumps remain. Add in the powdered sugar and mix until well-comibined. Add in the vanilla and cream and mix 30 seconds longer.
5. Assemble the tart: Spoon the cream cheese filling into the cooled tart shell. Spread out evenly. Place strawberries in a circular pattern and serve within 2 hours of preparing for best results.

REPRISE - welldonewalton - REPRISE
written last night...as a - youguessedit - reprise of one of my earlier works. (poppycostello.deviantart.com if youse interested)
All this alcohol and all this deception,
Why would you do it?
I know why,
I can see why,
Why is bloody obvious,
why am I even asking?
Why would she undress in front of you, engage you all night, wear fabric, get every man's attention and then focus on you?
She was going to come back to this house
with that on her head,
I would've waited up in vain
to count the number of footsteps, the number of footsteps, the number of oxygen molecules being martyred, the number of voices on the creakysneaky stairs.
She is lithe and tiny and perfect and beautiful and I love her to bits.
I am none of these things, I am worthy of none
but I did think of you
before tonight.
I did wish I could have
a chance
before tonight,
I did have a mission
that was supposed to be
Go, go,
Go waltz to Joy Division,
Go sleeping to the sound of my sobs,
Revel in the realisation that you ruined my rescue,
And, tomorrow, I will smile to your face,
I will joke with you,
Talk with you,
Laugh with you,
Lie with you,
That we understood each other
and we left the place where we felt the most lonely only to hit a new low
and lose each other
and look away and
that a new man will erase this day,

The idea is supported by the pragmatism in e-Commerce existence up to date. As technology advances and e-Commerce rapidly matures; most e-Commerce websites are demonstrating equally good design features in terms of functionality and usability. Consequently; with all other factors being equal; what may allow an e-Commerce to stand out is its ability to engender favourable consumer experiences and affect (Li & Zhang; 2005). Moreover; due to the luxury they get in cyberspace; todayâs e-Commerce websites users have become sophisticated and sceptical. They are now looking for emotional connectivity in everything they see. Norman (Norman; 2002) and Desmet (Desmet & Hekkert; 2002) have also supported that it has now become more and more important to include experiential and emotional quality in designs. Therefore; e-Commerce websites should induce desirable consumer experience and affect that influences its userâs perception of the website. This is ultimately seen to enhance the success and outreach potential of their online business.

Projectors usually need hooking up to a set-top box, games console or other device to turn your lounge into a home cinema. But not the Z4 Aurora.
It runs Android, so connect it to your Wi-Fi and you can access Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, and any other service that has an Android app.
There's no plugging in to a source device required. So you can plonk it on your coffee table while you watch a film without trailing cables everywhere, then pack it away when you're done.
Usually you have to arrange your room around your projector – or even ceiling mount the projector – so the Z4's standalone nature is a real benefit.

It gives a picture of up 300 inches across, with image quality of 4K or 1080p HD. Built-in Harmon Kardon speakers should provide decent audio. And that platter on the top? That looks like a turntable? It lets you operate it using gesture controls. Wave your hand above it one way, and it'll adjust the volume, for instance. You can also swipe to change songs.
It's surpassed its funding goal and still has a month left. Pledge $449 (£311) and it can be yours on an early bird. It will ship in June, so better invest in some blackout curtains.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Jimmy Rollins (FSY) is at his best in the biggest games.
Rollins hit a three-run homer, Joe Blanton (FSY) pitched neatly into the seventh and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Francisco Giants 8-2 on Wednesday night.
BOX SCORE: Phillies 8, Giants 2
The two-time NL champions have won 20 of 25 and moved two games ahead of the Giants in the wild-card race. The Phillies remained 2½ games behind Atlanta in the East.
"When there's a lot of focus on our team, Jimmy rises," manager Charlie Manuel said. "This is when Jimmy likes to play, or it seems that way."
Andres Torres (FSY) and Pat Burrell (FSY) homered for the Giants, who have lost three in a row.
Blanton (5-6) allowed two runs and eight hits, striking out seven in 6⅓ innings.
Rollins singled, tripled and homered off Matt Cain (FSY) (9-10). He flied out against Jeremy Affeldt (FSY) in the seventh and grounded out against Guillermo Mota (FSY) in the eighth.
The Phillies have had just two players hit for the cycle in the last 47 years —Gregg Jefferies (1995) and David Bell (2004).
"The last couple of days, I felt better," said Rollins, who missed 54 games this season with a calf injury. "My hitting area is starting to come to me. It doesn't feel like the plate is in the other batter's box."
Pinch-hitter Domonic Brown (FSY) blasted a solo homer into the second deck in right with two outs in the eighth, earning the rookie a curtain call from the sellout crowd. It also gave Rollins another chance to go for a double, but he grounded to first.
Cain gave up five runs — two earned — and seven hits in six innings. Giants starters are 0-9 with a 5.73 ERA in the last 14 games.
"We just have to think of the positives and get something going," Cain said.
Carlos Ruiz (FSY) put the Phillies ahead 2-1 with an RBI single during a four-run fourth. He has 21 RBI in his last 19 games.
Before Ruiz's hit, second baseman Mike Fontenot (FSY) booted Ross Gload's (FSY) one-out grounder. The error proved costly when Rollins came up with two runners on and two outs. Rollins drove one deep into the seats in right to make it 5-1. His shot ended a string of 49 consecutive innings without a homer for Philadelphia.
Burrell cut it to 5-2 in the sixth with his 12th homer in 58 games with the Giants. He has homered in his first two games back at Citizens Bank Park since helping the Phillies win the 2008 World Series.
"We're not scoring a lot of runs," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We've got to get our offense going. There's a lot of baseball left. This team's been resilient. We'll bounce back."
Raul Ibanez (FSY) hit an RBI triple and Jayson Werth (FSY) followed with a double to extend Philadelphia's lead to 7-2 in the seventh.
Torres crushed his 12th homer into the second deck in right field leading off the game.
Blanton allowed just one run in the first after giving up two or more in five of his eight previous starts. Overall, he's allowed 19 first-inning runs in 20 starts this season.
NOTES: Rollins stole his major league-best 28th and 29th consecutive bases, including 14 this year. ... Philadelphia 2B Chase Utley (FSY) got his first hit since returning from thumb surgery, breaking an 0-for-7 slide with a swinging-bunt single. ... A crowd of 44,410 was the 99th consecutive sellout at Citizens Bank Park. ... The Phillies are 17-2 at home since July 8. ... The Giants are just 12-13 when Cain starts, but he has a 3.11 ERA. ... Phillies 1B Ryan Howard (FSY) said he's hoping to return Monday from an ankle injury. The Phillies are 12-3 without the All-Star slugger.

Lindsay, the eight-part reality TV show which follows Lindsay Lohan in her attempts to rebuild her career, made its debut on the Oprah Winfrey Network on Sunday, and it reveals a world as tumultuous as might be expected.
The series began filming in July 2013, as Lohan finished her sixth stint in rehab. It shows that the star is so hounded by the paparazzi that she can't attend her AA meeting. She is striving for normalcy despite not being able to rent an apartment because of her reputation. But for now, at least, Lohan appears to be trying her best.
Winfrey and OWN deserve some credit here. Lindsay is clearly a reality show, but it doesn't romanticize tears and/or meltdowns: it focuses on Lindsay's commitment to sobriety, and it uses recovery jargon to show just how all-encompassing her addiction treatment really is. The show sets Lohan up to succeed – it is not presented as an attempt to break her down.
But despite the positive intentions surrounding Lohan's move from Los Angeles to New York, is watching what is undoubtedly one of the most challenging times in her life supporting her comeback, or enabling her downfall?
It's easy to get caught up in the technicalities, or to frame them as part of the star's now-infamous legacy. Four days out of rehab, Lohan is encouraged by Winfrey, who takes on a mentoring role, not to travel to Europe for the premiere of her Bret Easton Ellis-scripted movie The Canyons. Her sobriety coach repeats the point, which leads to her cancelling her appearance at the Venice film festival. She pulls out of a short lingerie film because the producers ask for dialogue, and explains that doing this would have "compromised her sanity and sobriety." She gets angry because, when they find out who she is, she is charged a $10m insurance fee by a condo board, effectively eliminating her chances for an apartment.
What Lindsay shows is that none of us can know what Lohan's road to recovery looks, or should look, like, because her story is her own. Only she has Dina Lohan for a mother, only she has paparazzi bragging about how photos of her bought them expensive watches, and only she knows what this reality show is meant to do. Perhaps it will be part of an elaborate recovery process, or perhaps it is intended to prove to herself (and to potential employers) that she's serious about working again.
Lindsay has a potential to give Lohan the platform she needs to convey the difficulties both of addiction recovery, and of being a famous woman in a fame-obsessed world. It can give her a mouthpiece aside from the occasional one-on-one interview or TMZ sound bit. The early signs are cautiously promising.
There are seven episodes left. If it becomes sensationalist; if it becomes a show that exploits Lohan more than media outlets already have, and romanticizes tragedy rather than strength, then it sets up both Lohan and viewers to fail: her, because she will be its victim; us, because we encouraged it.

The Outsiders is a 1983 American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton. The film was released on March 25, 1983. Jo Ellen Misakian, a librarian at Lone Star Elementary School in Fresno, California, and her students were responsible for inspiring Coppola to make the film.[1]
The film is noted for its cast of up-and-coming stars, including, C. Thomas Howell (who garnered a Young Artist Award), Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane. The film helped spark the Brat Pack genre of the 1980s. Both Lane and Dillon went on to appear in Coppola's related film Rumble Fish. Emilio Estevez went on to be in That Was Then... This Is Now, the only S.E. Hinton film adaptation not to star Matt Dillon.[2]
The movie received mostly positive reviews from critics, and performed moderately well at the box office, grossing $33 million on a $10 million budget.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965, the Greasers are a gang of tough, low-income middle-class teens. The gang includes 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis (Howell) and his two older brothers, Sodapop (Lowe) and Darrel (Swayze), as well as Johnny (Macchio), Dallas "Dally" Winston (Dillon), Two-Bit Matthews (Estevez), and Steve Randle (Cruise). Their long-term rivalry is with the Socs, a gang of wealthier kids from the other side of town. Two Socs, Bob Sheldon (Garrett) and Randy Adderson (Dalton), confront Johnny, Ponyboy, and Two-Bit, who are strolling with and talking to the Socs' girlfriends, Cherry (Lane) and Marcia (Meyrink), after watching a movie at a drive-in theater. The girls defuse the situation by going back with the Socs.
Ponyboy and Johnny fall asleep in the parking lot where Ponyboy dreams of his deceased parents. Awakened by Johnny, he worriedly heads home fearing Darrel's frustration. As he fears, Darrel is angry with him for coming home late. Sodapop draws himself into the argument, resulting in Darrel hitting Ponyboy. Emotionally hurt by Darrel's assault, Ponyboy flees his home and finds Johnny. The two boys head to the park.
Ponyboy and Johnny are soon attacked in the park by Bob, Randy, and three other Socs. They kick Johnny to the ground and grab Ponyboy and attempt to drown him by dunking him in the park fountain, making him temporarily unconscious. When they attempt to drown Ponyboy, Johnny pulls out his switchblade and stabs Bob to death. After regaining consciousness and learning what has happened, Ponyboy goes with Johnny in search of Dally's help.
On Dally's advice, and the fact that murderers in Oklahoma will be executed on the electric chair, Ponyboy and Johnny flee on a cargo train, and hide out in an abandoned church on Jay Mountain in Windrixville. Both boys cut their hair and Ponyboy bleaches his with peroxide in order to mask their descriptions. The boys pass the time playing poker, and Ponyboy reads Gone with the Wind and quotes the Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay". After a few days, Dally arrives with more food supply and a letter for Ponyboy from Soda. When driving them to a town to buy more food for takeout, he gives them the news that Cherry has offered to support the boys in court, that he told the police that Johnny and Pony were in Texas. Hearing this, Johnny decides to turn himself in, which Dally protests. They return to find the church on fire with school children on a field trip trapped inside. The three boys rescue the kids from the burning church, but they end up seriously injured. Ponyboy and Dally recover; Johnny, on the other hand, ends up with a broken back and severe burns. Ponyboy is soon reunited with his brothers at the hospital. The boys are praised for their heroism, but Johnny is to be charged with manslaughter for killing Bob, while Ponyboy may be sent to a foster home.
Bob's death has sparked calls from the Socs for "a rumble," which the Greasers agree to. Both sides also agree to a temporary truce until the night it happens. Just before the night of the fight, Randy, one of the Socs, has a word with Ponyboy, briefly discussing the boys rescue of the children, Johnny's fate and the future of both gangs. The conversation ends with Randy thanking Ponyboy for talking to him. Ponyboy and Two-Bit are also later met by Cherry who informs them that the Socs are going by a no-weapons agreement to the upcoming fight and asking about Johnny's condition. Ponyboy is briefly upset at Cherry for declining his request to visit him, reminding him how he killed Bob, but she clears up the misunderstanding and they leave each other with respect.
That night all the friends meet up at Ponyboy's house from where they head to the scene of the massive fight, where they meet with other groups of Greasers. Soon after, the Socs arrive in their expensive cars and one of them turns out to be an old friend of Darrel's. The fight erupts shortly followed by a rainfall and the Greasers turning out victorious.
Dally drives Ponyboy to the hospital to visit Johnny and break the news of their victory. Johnny is unimpressed by the victory, and dies after telling Ponyboy to "stay gold," referring to the Frost poem. Unable to bear Johnny's death, Dally robs a grocery store. Pursued by the police, he is surrounded in a park and the police kill him after he repeatedly refuses to drop his unloaded gun. Ponyboy is eventually cleared of wrongdoing in Bob's death and allowed to stay with his brothers. Turning the pages of Johnny's copy of Gone with the Wind, Ponyboy finds a letter from Johnny saying that saving the children was worth sacrificing his own life. The story ends as it began, with Ponyboy writing a school report about his experiences.
Francis Ford Coppola had not intended to make a film about teen angst until Jo Ellen Misakian, a school librarian from Lone Star Elementary School in Fresno, California, wrote to him on behalf of her seventh and eighth grade students about adapting The Outsiders.[3] When Coppola read the book, he was moved not only to adapt and direct it, but to follow it the next year by adapting Hinton's novel Rumble Fish. The latter film's cast also included Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, and Glenn Withrow.
The film was shot on location in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[4] Coppola filmed The Outsiders and Rumble Fish back-to-back in 1982. He wrote the screenplay for the latter while on days off from shooting the former. Many of the same locations were used in both films, as were many of the same cast and crew members. The credits are shown at the beginning of the film in the style normally found in a published play.
Coppola's craving for realism almost led to disaster during the church-burning scene. He pressed for "more fire", and the small, controlled blaze accidentally triggered a much larger, uncontrolled, fire, which a downpour fortunately doused.[5]
The film was met with generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, and is considered by some as one of the best films of 1983. Rotten Tomatoes gives The Outsiders a 65% "Fresh" rating on its site. One recent book said that the film's realistic portrayal of poor teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks "created a new kind of filmmaking".[6] The first edition of the film was criticized for excluding key scenes from the book.
The Outsiders was nominated for four Young Artist Awards, given annually since 1978 by the Young Artist Foundation. C. Thomas Howell won for "Best Young Motion Picture Actor in a Feature Film". Diane Lane was nominated for "Best Young Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture". The film was nominated for "Best Family Feature Motion Picture".[7] Francis Ford Coppola was nominated for the Golden Prize at the 13th Moscow International Film Festival.[8]
In September 2005, Coppola re-released the film on DVD, including 22 minutes of additional footage and new music, as The Outsiders: The Complete Novel. Coppola re-inserted some deleted scenes to make the film more faithful to the book. In the beginning of the film, he added scenes where Ponyboy gets stalked and jumped, the gang talks about going to the movies, Sodapop and Ponyboy talking in their room and Dally, Pony and Johnny bum around before going to the movies. In the end, Coppola added the scenes taking place in court, Mr. Syme talking to Ponyboy, and Sodapop, Ponyboy and Darry in the park. Also, much of the original score was replaced with music popular in the 1960s as well as new music composed by Michael Seifert and Dave Padrutt. The film was re-rated by the MPAA as PG-13 for "violence, teen drinking and smoking, and some sexual references".[9]
The director also removed several scenes in order to improve pacing, but they could be found on the second disc as additional scenes. In addition, Swayze, Macchio, Lane, and Howell gathered at Coppola's estate to watch the re-release, and their commentary is included on the DVD. Dillon and Lowe provided separate commentary.
A Blu-ray edition of The Outsiders: The Complete Novel was released in Region 1 on June 3, 2014.[10]
The original film score was composed by the director's father, Carmine Coppola; the main theme, "Stay Gold", was sung by Stevie Wonder. The original soundtrack included one rock song, Them's "Gloria".
See main article: The Outsiders (TV series). A television series based on the characters of the novel and film aired in 1990. It consists of a different cast playing the same characters. It picks up right after the events of the films ending but lasted only one season.

The first purchase with a Discover card took place in 1986 for $26.77 at a Sears, Roebuck and Co. store in Atlanta, Georgia. The next year the Discover credit card was launched nationally by a subsidiary of Sears. By 1989 Discover has signed its 1 millionth merchant. Discover goes virtual in 1995 with Discovercard.com, offering online customers the ability to apply for cards, pay bills, redeem and earn extra rewards and get email paperless reminders. Over the years, Discover has formed several mergers and acquisitions while pioneering new credit products like the first keychain credit card, gas and miles rewards cards, paperless statements and biodegradable credit cards. In 2011, Discover's direct-to-consumer deposits grew to $26 billion with cards used internationally for the first time in 2012. Today, Discover is a direct bank and electronic services company offering customers a broad range of no-fee direct banking products, such as online checking, savings, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts with millions of merchant and cash access locations; and Diners Club International, a global payments network with acceptance in more than 185 countries and territories.
The Good
- Online banking
- Savings accounts
- Low cost student loans
Online Banking
While many banks charge for basic deposit and transaction accounts, Discover offers 100% online banking without fees. Not only that, but they offer rewards and incentives for doing business with them—what they call Rewards Banking.
What Rewards Banking means:
Rewards can add up quickly with everyday banking. When customers open a Discover account, they begin earning 10¢ on up to 100 transactions per month, such as:
- Every debit card purchase earns 10¢
- Every bill paid online earns 10¢
- Every check that clears earns 10¢
These Rewards savings can either be cashed in or added as to the Cashback Bonus® account of the customers' Discover card.
In comparison to many other major banks, Discover offers it accounts without fees. Chase and Citibank, for example, both charge a $12 monthly maintenance fee for their personal checking accounts.
Discover, however, offers a Rewards Checking Account with the following benefits:
- Rewards on Debit Purchases, Checks Cleared and Online Bill Payments
(Up to 100 transactions per month)
- Monthly Fee (No Balance or Activity Requirements)
- Over 60,000 Free ATMs In the U.S
- Free online Bill Pay
- FREE check reorder (other banks charge 18.00 and up)
- Free replacement of lost Debit Card ($5 at some banks)
- FREE expedited delivery of replacement debit card (other banks charge $5 and up)
- Free official bank check
- Free Paper Copy of Check or Deposit Item
- Free Outbound ACH Transfer (to an external bank)
- Free Incoming Wire (from an external bank)
Savings Account
Discover also offers a Savings account with higher benefits than its competitors. For example, Bank of America charges a $5 monthly fee while Discover has no monthly fee.
Other superior benefits of Discover Savings Accounts:
- Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 0.95% (other banks are at .01%)
- No minimum balance requirement (other banks require at least $300)
CD Accounts with higher yields
Discover offers CDs that are structured to be easy to understand and manage. They provide customers with a detailed list of account features:
- Flexible terms for anywhere from 3-10 years
- Official Bank Check $ 0
- $0 for incoming wire transfers
- $0 for outgoing wire transfers ($30 fee waived for IRA CDs)
- Early Withdrawal Penalty
- $0 maintenance fees
- FDIC insured
- CD customer service 24/7
The CD yield is higher when compared to other popular banks. If a customer has a 12 month term CD, for instance, then they'll receive a 1.00% APY versus other banks offering a common .05% APY.
Instead of regular Individual Retirement Account, Discover offers customers planning for retirement an IRA CD account.
An IRA CD account offers:
- Flexible option for both Roth & Traditional IRAs
- 1.30% APY Info for a 24-month term
- Step-by-step help available 24/7 by phone
- $0 monthly fees
- $0 annual fees
Discover makes it easier to keep all retirement funds in the same place (if so desired).
Here's how:
- Transfer an IRA from another financial institution to Discover Bank
- Make as many transfers as you want each year
- Combine smaller IRAs into one larger account
- Rollover money from another type of account into your Discover IRA CD
Low Cost Student Loans
Not many banks offer student loans directly. Discover does offer private student loans with lower fees than competitors like Sallie Mae and Wells Fargo.
Benefits for student borrowers:
- Rewards for good grades
- No loan application fees
- No origination fees
- No late fees
- 24/7 student loan specialists customer service
Rollover money from another type of retirement account into
Another highlight-Fraud Protection
In today's digital age, customers are more susceptible to Identity theft and Fraud than ever before. Discover offers customers a solid list of Fraud Prevention Services and Features—at no additional charge.
Identity Theft and Prevention Features are as follows:
- $0 Liability Protection
This means customers are not responsible for unauthorized debit card, online, or mobile banking transactions. All that is required is that if a customer has suspicious activity on your account, that they notify Discover immediately and they will take it from there.
- Bill Pay Protection
Discover Bank Account includes Bill Pay Protection. Pay bills using our Online or Mobile Bill Pay and if payment is late due to Discover's error, they will cover any late fees.
- Secure Online and Mobile Banking
Customer information is encrypted for security. This includes account information, statements that are password-protected online in the Account Center.
- Proactive Fraud Monitoring
Customers' accounts are monitored for potential fraud and Discover will alert them upon seeing anything suspicious. If fraud has already occurred, a fraud specialist will work with customers until their issue is resolved.
- Dedicated Fraud Specialists
Discover's Fraud Unit proactively monitors customers' accounts for any unusual activity. If they see anything suspicious they will place a hold on those transactions and alert the customer right away.
- Secure Socket Layer Certification (SSL)
Discover uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to make it virtually impossible for someone else to access customer's information and encrypt all personal and account information
- FDIC insured
All Discover accounts are FDIC-insured up to the maximum amount allowed by law.
The Bad
- Fixed return
- Penalty fees
- Loans
Fixed Return
If customers are looking for a fixed return on investment regarding savings account interest rates, they should look elsewhere. Savings Account will earn interest at rates established by Discover on a daily basis. At Discover's discretion, they may change the interest rate on customers' accounts at any time.
Also to open a savings account is much higher compared to other banks, with Discover requiring a $500 opening deposit while other banks only require a balance as low as $25.
Penalty Fees
Although Discover's accounts have no maintenance fees, monthly fees and other transaction fees other banks charge, the drawback is that some of its penalty fees are the same or slightly higher. For example, a Deposited Item return incurs a $15 charge while other banks charge $12.
If anyone is looking to sock away money in CDs, hoping to one day be able to borrow from them in time of emergency, Discover's CD IRA is not an ideal choice. Loans may not be taken out ever and there are extremely limited circumstances where customers can make withdrawals before age 59 and 1/2.
The Bottom Line
Since its debut in 1985 as a pioneer in the electronic services payment industry, Discover Bank has proven the advantages of trying new products such as credit with cash back rewards and no annual fees , online bank accounts with no monthly fees, online banking, paperless billing, and even biodegradable credit cards. Its main attractions are its no-fee accounts, cash back checking and convenient online access, including strong multifaceted fraud protection and mobile wallet. Although the accounts have no fees, customers should be aware that penalty fees do apply for things like overdraft fees, which are around the same cost as other banks with more expensive accounts. For students considering a private Discover student loan, they should understand that private loans cannot be discharged for any reason in case of typical post-graduation economic hardship.
