Finding ways to lose since 94.
Beitashour is of Iranian decent. I assume Kadri is too?

Terrible game and league to end a championship on a fucking penalty shot.

To be fair, it's how every soccer tournament (see World Cup, Champions League etc.) breaks ties.

I guess that's ok for soccer since goals are a lot rarer, but in of the belief a team championship should be decided on the field not at either ends.
I'd still say the same thing if we'd won as well.
The thing about "Toronto sports" is it was never about performance. It's about always finding new and more dramatic ways of breaking our hearts.
penalty kicks are terrible, but the inherent problem with soccer is if you let the teams play it out like in hockey, they would literally die. there's no respite on the bench, and the game is a marathon, not a sprint. the only option would be to postpone the match and continue it another day, and there are too many logistical issues for this to be realistic.

What the fuck is this white shit on the ground?! Fuck...sNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOw...... 😩
i hope my back holds up tomorrow after the big fall overnight ;_;
i'll probably have to do the shoveling piecemeal
Snow storm's accomin'
I for one couldn't be happier
Looks like there's gonna be lake effect snow next weekend good luck guys. I'll be gone but with my luck it'll probably be freezing rain in Vancouver.
Just park your cars on the driveway. Assuming you have more than one car.
but then I have to brush the snow off the car, AND shovel it off the driveway where it lands... 😣

My car has summer tires and I'm at work until 5. Well I guess I'm dying today.
Try to brush the snow into one spot and just clear it all off from there.
I bring mine all the time from work.
They just check it and obviously don't be carrying stupid shit in there but should be fine.
this is correct. I went with mine and they just ask you to open it, shine a flashlight inside, maybe move things around a little and then send you on your way.
Oddly enough, I've found that at sporting events, girls get searched much more thoroughly than guys...
A month ago I walked into the ACC for the HHoF Alumni game, half-dressed for my red serge duty for the pregame ceremony.
I had my duty pistol in my damn pocket. The security guy looked confused, then started to pat me down out of habit. I laughed and said "well, you're going to find something." A dude in the lineup started laughing his ass off, it got no reaction from the security guard, as he literally tapped on my gun without a reaction.
Y'all will be fine.
I assume you're coming in for graduate school. If you are going into a research stream then having a scholarship will help immensely because that means your professor won't need to pay you. I wasn't an international myself but I know a lot of internationals and most of them had scholarships.
Yup! I am hoping to go in for graduate school. I don't know how competitive the scholarships are (I'm guessing very), but I hope to do my best.

TTC is the purest form of garbage I've ever seen. ONE HOUR AND TWENTY FIVE MINUTES it took me to go from Sheppard to Wellesley. Notice I say Wellesley because I had to get off at Wellesley to walk to Queen because even after an hour and a half, TTC still wasn't able to take me to my destination due to yet another service disruption.
On a related note, I gave up my Presto card for tokens because of how embarrassingly bad this rollout is. I bet there will still be TTC entrances that only take tokens until 2018. We're probably the only western civilization using tokens for public transit. Even the arcades at Dave and Busters have more advanced technology.

I'm speaking from the perspective of a research grad student (recently graduated). If you are in a course-based graduate program I am not sure how it works.
The Canadian scholarships are not easy for international students to get. I don't know when your deadlines are but you should really look into whether there are American scholarships that allow you to study in Canada. From my experience any of these scholarships are are very competitive as well, so you'll want to have a professor look over and revise your applications with you.
That being said, if you have professors in mind who you want to work for you should try and contact them early and let them know about you/ask if they have openings in the lab. Some professors will list on their websites some skill requirements and tell interested students to email their cv directly to them in addition to applying through the department. If your professor likes you enough then they'll probably accept you regardless of whether you have a scholarship.
I have to get to Scarborough tomorrow morning. Are you telling me I should take plan to get there an hour early?

There will probably be like 5 people on the train going north lol.
I'm already exhausted from clearing my driveway of snow.
I have a snowblower, but that shit is heavy. I also had to shovel a bit, so my arms are pretty sore. Also helped my neighbour out since he looked hopeless trying to dig. Pretty sure his house only has one shovel too. I remember last year helping his family out a bit one time since they were taking turns using their shovel.

Wait what?
So the delays were from people trying to all pack on to the train?
That being said, the last time I tried to do this trip, half of the time the train was running slow for track maintenance.

It's usually packed heading south to downtown. Don't think there were any issues for trains heading northbound. On my trip today I heard something like 2 "fire investigations" (St. George, Union), 1 medical emergency (St. Clair West - I think), 3 "delays" (Bloor, Lawrence, Eglington).
I don't think a Blizzard is coming, but there's definitely a cold snap on Wed/Thurs
I told my roommate last night I need a snow float. He had no idea wtf I was talking about until I described it in detail. Is snow float not universal terminology?

One of those.
But yeah I just realized I have no winter boots and we only have a standard snow shovel for a big driveway. We moved in to this place last year at the tail end of winter and I only had to shovel once, so it wasn't a big deal. I don't mind though, good workout and saves me some time from having to go to the gym.

Just looks like a huge ass snow shovel to me lol
I see Fri/Saturday predictions for another 15-20cm.
Yeah, the train was pretty much empty except that it was moving at a crawl.
Finally. I cut it too close to the wire for my comfort, but I got (and took) a job offer this morning. Still have two interviews for other positions in the development field I'm going to take, but... feeeeeew *wipes sweat from brow* That's a good feeling now that I'm nearly broke as shit.
Next meet up, a round of shots on me.
