Massively disappointed with it. By any other band, it might warrant a 7 or 8, but
with all the expectation behind this I really don't think it's a stretch to say it's the worst album of the year.
After two listens, I can't say for sure, but
this is probably the best electronic album ever. Just listen to those hooks on tracks 3 & 7. Makes their previous work sound like one of those Ibiza Chillout albums.jigglypuff this'd this

Not a backlash post I swear
but i'm a bit puzzled for all the excitement over this. Their last record got pretty solidly slated when it came out and it seemed (to me, at least) that their career was in the doldrums until they did that big tour a few years later with all the lasers and stuff.

The hype (at least in America) seems to be due to people discovering Homework and Discovery

I've wondered this
I think part of it the whole EDM thing in America, they seem to be kind of revered as godfathers of that whole slightly confusing scene, and it didn't really spring up until post Human After All.
dammit, john said the same as me only shorter and better and first
but also: probably can't really underestimate the fact that the actual lack of impact made by Human After All and Tron probably cleared the way for this to get hyped
I thought it was excellent.
Ridiculous but excellent.
Last track Contact really reminds me of another song

Onto Track 8 so far...
The track with Casablancas is actually the best so far, which I'm a bit surprised about. But so far at least, this album's just got all the hallmarks of a record where they've been given too much time and money to fanny about with no creative control and too many collaborators inhibiting the sense of a coherent album. The Moroder track is such a joke it should be tied up and buried in a concrete vault under the sea, for human ears never to have to endure again. The strings on Touch sound like something off one of my nan's Andy Williams albums from the 60's and I don't mean that in a good way.
Stylistically, they seem confused. There's evident hints to their first couple of albums (the bridge of Get Lucky sounds like Harder Better... for a bit) but then there's just pastiches to disco and a very early Ibiza sound; but it just feels like a re-hash, aren't they supposed to be better than this?
I'll certainly give this a few more listens and see if it grows, but I'm not overly confident I'm going to find hidden depths in this.

If Daft Punk are robots
then they are that Asimo that falls off the stairs
This is one of those albums
That literally erases any meaningful distinction between genius and failure, it is a modern classic in the truest, most oxymoronic sense of the word. It is a subtle banger, an arrhythmic assault which is so effective that the back swing turns in on itself and becomes a 4/4 slab of ibiza vapidity.
It is the aural equivalent of Jackson Pollock stepping back from his canvas and seeing that he has daubed the words 'no likey, no lighty'
It is the record that proves that we are all in it together.
Not heard it.

my god
it's awful. I honestly wasn't expecting a lot, especially after listening to Get Lucky, and taking into account everything they've said about moving away from traditional EDM. But... wow. This record is a disaster not because they've moved away from their roots, but because they've done it spectacularly awfully. Nothing flows, its boring, the songs with Pharrell sound like bedroom mashups, and they've even made Nile Rogers' guitar work sound dull.
You could argue that after 20 years, a new Daft Punk record was always going to be ripped to shreds because of the expectations placed upon it. But even if this album was recorded by some other artist, it would still be pretty terrible.
When people start using the term EDM?
Which day last week was it?
I knew you'd be having a snipe at me the second I saw your name
as the last post.
Go on then - what does it mean, anyway..genuinely haven't got a clue what it stands for.
Can't be electronic dance music, so what is it?
It can and it is (I wiki'd it yesterday)
I think it's basically because (some) American's are finally starting to listen to (some) electronic stuff rather than just Creedence and the Stones and whatever Pitchfork indie they all listen to.
As opposed to ______ dance music..
It's a bit silly.
As a side subject - I've been using an EDM for the last 15 years:
"Dance music" can mean loads of things though
Big band jazz, salsa, classical minuets & waltzes, line dancing music, disco... Not trying to defend EDM though, it's clearly a bullshit phrase for wankers.
also their Thanksgiving halftime show is an American treasure
I'm listening to the second track now..
This better get a fuck lot worse. And I mean a 'FUCK LOT' worse.
First Impression:
So disappointed. Cannot believe a band that were once so exciting and original have produced a record that is so unimaginative, fruitless and completely lifeless. The decent moments on Contact, Motherboard and Instant Crush certainly don't make up for how average most of it is and how laughable some parts are. It can't be as bad as I think? I need another listen.

after Human After All
i'm amazed anyone can be disappointed in them. after all these years the one thing they truly need is a decent editor, half the tracks on this and HAA could be pruned by a few minutes. they often just go on and on forever bafflingly with nothing much happening.
still some great bits on RAM like.
have yet to hear this...
...aside from Instant Crush, which is great, but i am surprised that people placed so much weight of expectation on it. i'm tempted to ignore all the ludicrous hyperbole, all the equally ludicrous counterblast and come back to it in a few months when i might be able to actually listen to the tunes and make up my own mind.Noblet this'd this

- sunstroke_house this'd this
dude relax
it literally doesn't matter
Imagine leading a life so empty that you revel in people's disappointment when an album doesn't deliver :D
That aside:
Can't believe all the love for Instant Crush because it's easily one of the worst songs on the album for me. Sounds like a bonus track from an already shit album (Comedown Machine). After a few more listens my best tunes are Give Life Back To Music, Doin' It Right, Giorgio by Moroder and, despite how utterly daft it is, Touch. Overall though, an absolutely crushing disappointment of a record for me, so much so that I even cancelled my pre-order. Had a horrid sinking feeling in my stomach when it ended for the first time.
I think there are times where the live instrumentation actually proves to be a hindrance. Contact, for example, could have been a superb electro banger without those live drums, but instead it sounds like an ELP track or some shit.
I'm praying that it grows on me.
I felt the same way about the live drums on Contact.
They just didn't work for me - not enough presence. Only streamed the album once, but I enjoyed it a lot. It's got hooks to spare and, yeah, it's overwrought and cheesy, but Discovery was in places too. It's all part of the fun.
this album makes me feel like i'm at a house party for a middle aged woman in the 80s

Come one, it's a bit boring isn't it? I actually really like the single too. All seems 'nice' enough but it's over-long and a bit bland. No real new ideas.
I've not followed them very closely since Homework, but it's just a progression of that cheesy, MOR sound they developed since then.
well it's really well produced? Sounds great right? Getting all these 'Adult Contemporary' vibes in places. Feelings a bit mixed on that. I really like Get Lucky. That Giorgio track was brilliant, but the way they've mixed his talking on top sounds pretty terrible. Like someone mentioned above, very BBC documentary-like. Nice surprise hearing Panda Bear in Doin' It Right.
Obviously I'm gonna need to give this more listens, but at the moment it's probably a pretty solid 8/10.
Bit disappointed though, yeah.
Because I was expecting better
especially after how promising Get Lucky was. An 8 might be a little bit generous, it's an inconsistent mess of an album in places.
I think this album might well be the closest my generation gets to a Be Here Now.
Hyped to insane levels, then everyone realises suddenly its a 7/10 rather than a 9/10, and they all start treating it like a 2/10.
Balls is this a 7/10
Get Lucky, Giorgio and Contact are good, the other two Nile Rodgers ones and Panda Bear one are bearable, the rest is utter crap. Bloated prog bollocks.
I'm really, really sorry...
...but I love this record. I can't place why but it reminds me of the subdued moments of the Super Furry Animals between Rings Around The World and Phantom Power. Touch is about my favourite thing ever.

But it catches me off guard with a fuge grin on my face and then I realise I have to chill out and take things a little less seriously.
So we're allowed to think this is hilarious, cheesy, overwrought, and not dance music in anything but some references and collaborators...
and still really like it, yeah?
It's loadsa fun to hear people spunk millions of dollars on the album that they wanted to make, and one that bizarrely seems to attempt to atone for their own influence in/dismay at the current generation of dance music. Sure, it's old men shaking their fists at clouds, but doing so with such abandon at the one window of opportunity when everyone will be paying attention.
Tbh the previews convinced me that I'd hate RAM, but the sense of adventure, fun and dexterity it combines with MOR-rock is charming. It's far from perfect, it's fucking ridiculous, and it's certainly not going to appeal to all fans of 'alternative' music, but in the end they clearly don't give a shit...

I'm really enjoying this
Wasn't massively looking forward to it after the single, initial listen was disappointing but it's really working for me now. Kind of reminds me of a commercial version of the Innerzone Orchestra album, one of my favourite records but also one I found immensely underwhelming when I first heard it.
Could've done with a different second track though
Maybe why people are hating the flow of the album so much. And it definitely is an 'album'.
It's actually getting worse with repeated listens
Just feels like a total slog to sit through
i've been putting on random songs all day, thinking it'll be more digestible in short bursts
it actually is. lose yourself to dance is pretty cool. i hate that second track still. get lucky is killing me it's so bland.
but the last 3 tracks, i think, are probably great. i dunno why i'm into fragments of time but i am, makes me feel like i'm in a car commercial driving 80 down an open road in an open top sports car with a white suit jacket on with the sleeves rolled up. and isn't that what music is about?

What? yes? no? huh?
First, I was surprised that every freakin' music fan was drooling over the release of this lp. After awhile, even I got caught up in it! I don't know why?!! THEN - I read an interview with Daft Punk and they said positive things about that piece of shit Skrillex. "Maybe he's the kid who'll break through..." That made me think maybe I know more about music than THEY do. Now I'm back to not caring about this album. I'll just wait for Avalanches again, I guess.
So apparently this is on course to become the fastest selling album ever in the Uk?
Or some nonsense like that. still pretty impressive considering the overall decline in album sales these days, guess that $35mil on advertising may come good in the end?
Contact vs 2001 A Space Odyssey
We were all thinking it.
live drums don't suit this at all. Would have been a quality track if it had a drum machine. Its just awkward without. Could have been like a mix of Areodynamite and Veridis Quo but its just not here or there really. Only heard the single, which was a bit tamne for me and this so far, so no other opinion.

The review itself doesn't match up with that score at all
that write-up is absolutely gushing. Pretty much says it's going to be considered a classic.
Was thinking that the only way I would read their review
was if Richardson did it. Cos he's good like.
--The continual churn of the internet, experience tells us, favors quick connections, conveniences, ephemeral pleasures. But there are areas of culture popping up that seek to slow down, focus on details, and wallow in the kinds of media that it still takes money to create. This is the space that Daft Punk seek to occupy--
pitchfork scores are an average of the score everybody in the office gives it
and then a suitable writer is picked
NME gave it a 10.
I think its something like only the 3rd one they've given in the last 10 years (the other ones being Whatever People Say I Am... and Let England Shake)

So giving it a few more listens
I was perhaps unduly harsh.
I still stand by my initial feeling it works better as backing music. Actually sitting listening to it (finally with some decent headphones) does reveal some neat touches in some of the songs which weren't immediately apparent.
But . . . it just doesn't hang together as an album for me. With some cutting it might just work. I can listen to the two halves of the album either side of Touch (which just doesn't work for me at all) individually put try and listen to it all at once and I'll find my attention wavering.

I think it's more getting over the disappointment that it was Discovery mk 2.0, so any slagging off on me about this should be that I was still expecting to get what I wanted despite all the evidence to the contrary!
first listen
JFC this is proper shit
It's going to be really interesting
seeing how many people commenting negatively are going to completely 180 by the end of the year. Because it's going to happen. I don't care how determined you are to hate this album. This is as much of a milestone as Discovery was. Dance music production is going to change to ape these sounds just like the last decade owes a massive debt to Discovery.
Not so sure, maybe if there's some established acts that can go "we can do this if you give us the budget for it, I swear it!" and actually have the reputation for them to take a punt but otherwise can't see it making a massive impact. Record companies aren't going to spunk the amount of money that was clearly spent on this album on some unknowns.

Beyond is the best song...
that Jamiroquai never wrote.
Everyone stop being silly
it's still pretty rubbish
I've been holding back on this because I fear I know what the response might be, but... How come a new Daft Punk album is such a big deal? I mean, they're just probably not my kinda thing, but I was vaguely aware of a few cheesey singles back in the day, and then they seemed to fizzle out and I just didn't think about them for a decade. And that One More Time one was them, yeah? Fucking dreadful. I don't remember ever seeing any threads about them on here in recent years, nor have I ever heard anyone I know talk about them. But now everyone is bumming them silly. And I'm just a bit surprised.
QUESTIONS: Have you been eagerly awaiting this, or is it just a 'oh yeah I used to like them when I was 15' thing?
What do you like about their music? (genuinely interested)
Can someone please link to a song that is a real favourite? Cos of course there may well be a lot more to them than the singles.
Guess I just feel a little OUT OF THE LOOP on this one. Just interested.
Merci bien x
I like them, and I've always liked them, since I was about 15 when Homework came out. I like all their albums, even human after all and the tron soundtrack. their 2007 tour was fucking incredible, alive 2007 is arguably the greatest live album ever. I like synths and vocoders and samples and robots and prog/techno/disco and dancing and stuff. I like their name and how they've retained their sense of mystery. I was excited about the new album, and it has not disappointed me. It's great. proper pop.
here's a link to my favorite track off the new album, which i'm guessing you haven't listened to?
way better than fucking arcade fire.
Okay, this one is pretty cool. Nice way to end an album too.
I can see the attraction in how they present themselves, am a big fan of bands who think about their visual identity. The sense of mystery is good too, pretty rare these days. Robots I can dig, vocoders not so much. Just personal taste. Haven't listened to their new album or any others - am not doubting there's more to them than the singles, was just surprised by the reaction on here to the album leak. Didn't know they were that popular. I kinda get it a bit more now. Cheers for taking the time x
Think you might be trolling
But have Voyager anyway
Not trolling at all
Just a little surprised that a new album would warrant a response as rabid as a new Boards Of Canada record. Guess I've just never paid them much attention.
Anyway, I gave the track a couple of listens, not bad, just not my thing I guess. Better than the singles I've heard at least. Cheers for the link x

WASHINGTON, July 6 (UPI) -- If you're planning a trip from overseas to the United States, get ready to fire up your cell.
The Transportation Security Agency said Sunday that officials may ask travelers on U.S.-bound flights to turn on their cell phones or laptops to prove that they're not explosive devices.
Unpowered electronics would not be allowed on planes.
"As the traveling public knows, all electronic devices are screened by security officers. During the security examination, officers may also ask that owners power up some devices, including cell phones," the agency said. "Powerless devices will not be permitted onboard the aircraft. The traveler may also undergo additional screening."
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said last week in a statement that TSA planned to step up security on flights from overseas to the United States, prompted by intelligence about new explosive devices that are harder to detect.
TSA was not specific about which airports or regions would be affected.

Hubby isn't one to believe in all this spooky stuff, but was nervous on thursday night.
He phone me at 11:30pm to say that he felt 'funny' That the house, lounge in particular had dropped in temperature. It was cold (and it's very hot in SA in January) and that something had 'shoved' him from behind. He ignored it and went to Laikin who'd woken up crying. While he was putting her back to sleep, he felt like something was watching them. Laikin was restless and the cats were going bananas. Shortly after that, he heard a crash in the lounge.
My favorite wall hanging had been bashed off the wall. The hangings and wires and nails are still in tact. Nothing broke to make this painting fall. We use thin wire to hang our pics. The white string you see in the pic is old, and wasn't used to secure the pic to the wall.
I told him to put laikin in bed with him and to light a white candle next to the bed. Which he did, though it wasn't a pleasant sleep.
Whatever it was, was gone when I got home the next morning.

Are Natural-Gas Exports the Next Keystone?
A coalition of grassroots environmentalists are galvanizing around a fossil-fuel project and urging President Barack Obama to oppose it.
Sound familiar? It's not the Keystone XL pipeline, but the parameters of the fight—and the arguments—are awfully similar to the fight that's been raging in Washington and throughout the country over the proposed pipeline for the last five years.
The Sierra Club and 350.org, two advocacy organizations that have been key in rallying opposition to Keystone, helped organize a letter 16 groups sent Tuesday to the White House urging Mr. Obama to oppose exporting natural gas on the basis of global warming and are calling out one proposed project specifically.
It's the first organized letter by environmentalists urging the White House to oppose such an export policy, which Mr. Obama has so far supported.
"We were told when the Keystone fight came up, there wasn't a chance in the world," said Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, on a conference call Tuesday. He added that TransCanada, the company seeking to get presidential sign-off to build Keystone across the Canadian-U.S. border, still doesn't have that approval despite first submitting its application to the administration more than five years ago. "People put up a big fight," Mr. McKibben said. "Fights change political realities."
In the letter, the environmentalists specifically target a proposed natural-gas export facility owned by Dominion Energy called Cove Point in Maryland, 65 miles away from Washington, D.C. They're requesting the White House require another federal agency—the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which has part jurisdiction over reviewing natural-gas export facilities—to conduct a broad environmental impact statement that considers greenhouse-gas emissions that scientists say exacerbate global warming. Right now FERC is required to conduct a narrower environmental assessment of the facility itself.
"Cove Point is emblematic of the irrational and fast-track strategy of the gas industry to export U.S. fracked gas and then ask questions later," the letter states, which includes mostly grassroots-focused environmental groups, including Friends of the Earth and Chesapeake Climate Action Network, which is the group that has led the charge against Cove Point. Notably not on the letter are some of the biggest and most influential groups, including League of Conservation Voters, Environmental Defense Fund and Natural Resources Defense Council.
In response to the letter, Dominion released a report conducted on its behalf by consulting firm ICF International that found exporting U.S. natural gas could cut greenhouse gas emissions in half compared with coal to general electricity overseas.
"Slowing or preventing natural gas exports from the United States is a step in exactly the wrong direction for those who are concerned about climate change," said Pamela Faggert, Dominion's chief environmental officer and vice president of corporate compliance.
Mr. Obama has given his rhetorical support for exporting natural gas and has cited the fossil fuel, which burns less carbon than both coal and oil, as part of the reason U.S. carbon emissions have dropped in recent years. His administration has given final approval of one export facility and conditional approval for five others to export the fuel.
More recently amid the Ukrainian crisis, U.S. lawmakers and representatives from European nations have been urging Washington to approve more natural-gas exports and more quickly so Europe could become less dependent on Russian natural gas.
Tuesday's letter had nothing to do with Ukraine though, its organizers say.
"This letter is not in response to what's happening in Crimea," said Michael Brune, executive director of the Sierra Club. "But clearly it's a big part of the conversation. The idea that U.S. gas exports could address the human rights abuses that we're seeing in Crimea reflects a lack of comprehension and lack of vision."
With the rise in oil and gas production over the last few years, the Sierra Club and the other groups on the letter have become more critical of natural gas, which was once universally considered an ally to environmentalists seeking to get off coal-fired electricity.
Mr. McKibben said there are more than a dozen fights around the world similar to Keystone and Cove Point that environmentalists must fight to adequately address global warming.
We've got to leave most of the carbon we know about in the ground," Mr. McKibben said. "We've learned in the last three to four years that we've got to win pretty much every one of these fights and we've got to win them in a lot of countries."
The environmental community, which is not united in its fight against natural-gas exports, faces a steep challenge convincing Mr. Obama on this. And it's not yet clear who has won the fight over Keystone. A final decision is expected sometime this year, and Secretary of State John Kerry, whose department has regulatory authority over the pipeline, said Tuesday he has not told anyone—including his wife—his thoughts on the project.

Time to speak up
To the editor: When I taught civics to my students, I stressed that citizens in a democracy had three important responsibilities: to stay informed, vote, and speak up to their communities and representatives about what concerned them in government. Now is the time for citizens to speak up, as many voices need to be heard by our representatives in Raleigh.
To the editor: When I taught civics to my students, I stressed that citizens in a democracy had three important responsibilities: to stay informed, vote, and speak up to their communities and representatives about what concerned them in government. Now is the time for citizens to speak up, as many voices need to be heard by our representatives in Raleigh.
As I write, there are many bills being proposed that would hurt our strong public schools, the underpinning of any effective democracy. Bruce Benson�s Times-News column Saturday summarized just what some of our N.C. representatives are proposing for public education. It is headlined, �These idiots may devastate our schools.� While I think �idiots� is too strong a word, the ignorance of some of the legislators about issues can be devastating unless their constituents speak up and inform them of reality.
Please, readers, do your duty as citizens concerned about keeping our public schools strong by contacting Sen. Tom Apodaca (919-733-5745) and Reps. Chuck McGrady (919-733-5956) and Chris Whitmire (919-715-4466). You can get their contact information by Googling their names plus NC legislature.
Benson�s column is online at www.blueridgenow.com.

To the editor: Kevin Williamson, a roving correspondent for National Review and acclaimed movie critic, is being dubbed a hero by some for throwing a cellphone that was web-searching during an opera that he was reviewing. For the record, Mr. Williamson did ask the web surfer to stop as it was a distraction to those around her. Her reply, �Don�t look,� certainly precipitated his reaction, or what some might claim to be an overreaction.
Whilst I am not advocating prying cellphones from the clutches of those who have lost the art of proper theater and concert etiquette, I would like to make a plea for parents to encourage proper cellphone use by example and through instruction.
Today I had the opportunity to hear the Hendersonville Symphony Youth Orchestras present its spring concert. To the right and in front of me were two children flanked by parents who seemed not the least bothered that their children were playing games with their cellphones throughout the entire concert. Surely there is a better way to applaud the efforts of those who presented our community such an enjoyable concert.

To the editor: A review of 12,000 papers on climate change, in the May 15 issue of �Environmental Research Letters,� found that 97 percent of scientists attribute climate change to human activities. Although we�re unlikely to reverse climate change, we can mitigate its effects by reducing our driving, energy use and meat consumption.
Yes, meat consumption. A 2006 U.N. report estimated that meat consumption accounts for 18 percent of man-made greenhouse gases. A 2009 article in the respected World Watch magazine suggested that it may be closer to 50 percent.
Carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas, is generated by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport and slaughter animals. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.
Each of us has the power to reduce the devastating effects of climate change every time we eat. Our local supermarket offers a rich variety of soy-based lunch meats, hotdogs, veggie burgers and soy and nut-based dairy products, as well as an ample selection of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. Product lists, easy recipes and transition tips are at www.livevegan.org.

Altium , developers of unified electronics design solutions, have extended their FPGA support to include the Altera Stratix III and LatticeXP2 families of programmable devices. Electronics designers now have new opportunities to harness the power of FPGAs and explore new design concepts in real time, without having to make final decisions on device choice too early in the design process.
The Altera Stratix III and LatticeXP2 programmable devices form a part of Altium's growing list of supported device families, continuing Altium's commitment to provide designers with a flexible, vendor-neutral unified electronics design solution. Electronics designers working on embedded designs or looking to move more of what would have been previously hardwired into the soft domain, can now explore new design concepts. They can also experiment with different devices to determine how to execute their design in real time, all without major design rework.
Altium's unified electronics design environment provides pre-synthesised, ready-to-use 'soft' FPGA components that give designers the ability to program or change devices without the 'sticky' IP issues that inhibit innovation. As Altium pre-synthesises components for all supported Xilinx, Altera, Lattice and Actel FPGA device families, the system will automatically extract the appropriate models for the target devices and employ them throughout the design. This streamlines and speeds up the design process, allowing engineers to explore alternative devices without constraint.
According to Nick Martin, CEO and Founder of Altium, electronic designers are realising that functionality must move from the constraints of physical hardware and are increasingly harnessing the potential offered by programmable devices such as FPGAs. Altium continue to add programmable device support to the Altium Designer, so that designers can have a wide range of options to explore and experiment with, before taking their designs out to final deployment and manufacture, all within a single, unified design environment. This flexibility and freedom is at the core of being able to create the next generation of electronics products in new ways.
Altium's unified environment makes this easy, because electronics designers, experts or novices at programming FPGAs, can create intelligent products without having to learn new specialised skills. Support for Lattice XP2 and Altera Stratix III is available as part of a recent release of the Altium Designer, available from Altium Sales and Support centres.

BEIJING, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Serena Williams ran her 2013 record to 73-4 and collected her 10th WTA title of the year with a straight-set win over Jelena Jankovic in the China Open final.
Williams, who won the first China Open title in 2004, came away a 6-2, 6-2 winner over Jankovic in their fourth career meeting in a championship match.
Sunday's match opened with a pair of long games but Williams won both and then went up 3-0 by holding at love. She finished the set with her second break.
Jankovic picked up a break by winning a 17-point game for a 2-1 lead in the second set but Williams answered by winning five straight games, finishing the tournament with her fifth break on her third match point.
Williams, with 10 wins this year, has 56 WTA championships in her career, which is fourth most. She has a way to go to reach the top three however, as Steffi Graf, who is third, won 107 times on the tour. Martina Navratilova holds the record with 167 wins and Chris Evert is second with 157.
Jankovic, who is 4-7 all-time versus Williams, is 13-18 in WTA title matches. She also finished second to Williams in South Carolina earlier this year and twice in 2008, including at the U.S. Open.
Williams earned $860,000 along with the China Open championship, giving her career winnings of more than $51 million. That is far and away the WTA record; Venus Williams is second on the list at about $29 million. Jankovic's career winnings top $15 million after her $430,000 payday as the China Open runner-up.

Here are three tech tips, that I felt did not necessitate their own
In the Vim text editor(homepage),
one can use the keybinding Ctrl+W ; O to close all windows except
the current one, which will be the only one left open (hence
the "O").
In Facebook (Wikipedia
page) one can use Shift+Enter to start newlines in the messages you compose
in the site's composer. Press it twice to start a new paragraph.
If you are using Firefox's Personas Rotator Extension (
Addons.mozilla.org page), then you can switch the currently shown persona (
in case you don't want it at the moment) using Ctrl+Alt+P or an alternate
configurable keybinding. I discovered this latest tip by accident and can no
longer imagine my life without it.

The very first photographs in America were captured on polished plates of silver in the 1840s. The surface of these daguerreotypes is literally a mirror, so that looking into a portrait from 160 years ago shows one's own face superimposed on the past.
The Adams Gallery at Suffolk University presents The Mirror of Race: Seeing Ourselves through History, a photography exhibit that challenges viewers to think about what they see when they look into this mirror onto an earlier time. Interactive elements suggest reflection about how one sees race – in oneself and in others.
The exhibit includes daguerreotypes, tintypes, ambrotypes and other forms of early photography as well as prints from tintypes made by an Air National Guardsman deployed to Afghanistan. Ed Drew's modern-day tintypes are believed to be the first battle zone photographs using this method since the American Civil War.
Suffolk University Philosophy Professor Gregory Fried, who curated the exhibit, has long been engaged in the Mirror of Race project, which encourages people to "reexamine how they see others and themselves" as they explore an online exhibition of historical American photographs. Originals of many of these images are included in the exhibit.
"These photographs have the power to surprise us, to draw us in and to offer us an opportunity to question our own ways of seeing," said Fried. "We invite people to look into The Mirror of Race and to ask: Is it possible to change how we see?"
A Mirror of Race conference will be held Jan. 31 at Suffolk University. The conference will include speakers on the history of race and photography and on how narrative forms our identity.
The Adams Gallery is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. daily, except for major holidays.

Enjoy Eastern and the Holy week 2013 in Barcelona
Be Hostels wants you to enjoy one special week here in Barcelona: Easter and Holy week! Here you will be able to participate in the typical "processions" and other religious and non-religious events surrounding this special holiday! Don't miss it! It's unforgetable!
Spain, being a Catholic country, has few religious traditions as important as Semana Santa or 'Holy Week'. Easter is a huge event in the religious calendar and holy week sees high-profile processions take place in towns and cities throughout the country.
Barcelona is a modern and cosmopolitan city and the Easter celebrations are not quite on the same scale as those of other Spanish cities like Seville. However Catholic traditions are still an important part of the city's cultural fabric and if you spend Easter weekend in Barcelona, there will certainly be a lot going on.
The week begins on Palm Sunday, March 24th, when a procession traditionally takes place around the cathedral with people holding palms. A week of religious ceremonies follows, ending on Easter Sunday.
The week is just as pleasant for non-Christian visitors and Barcelona looks beautiful during the celebrations. At this time of year, the sun starts its return to the city and chocolate and cake shop windows are filled with every sculpture imaginable made of chocolate – everything from Messi and Barça, to the Sagrada Familia!
What to do?
- Watch an Easter procession
Probably the most significant event in Barcelona during Semana Santa is Palm Sunday. A procession takes place in the Ciutat Vella known as La Burreta commemorating the arrival of Jesus in Bethlehem on a donkey. You'll find palm stalls throughout the centre of Barcelona selling the distinctive bleached palm fronds carried by the devout. This is just the start of a week of religious parades including Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, 'Our Lady of Anguish' and Nuestro Padre Jesús del Gran Poder. These are followed by María Santísima de la Esperanza Macarena, 'Our almighty Lord Jesus and the blessed Mary of hope', on Good Friday. Both of these processions take place in the Gótico and Las Ramblas, just around the corner from BeHostels Sound, Mar and Ramblas, so keep an eye out if you're around the city centre.
- Enjoy a "Mona de Pàscua"
Easter Monday is "el día de la mona de Pascua." In Catalonia making the cake called the "Mona de Pascua" is an important culinary Easter tradition. These cakes are called "Monas" in Spanish and "Mones" in Catalan. Around 600,000 mona cakes are sold in Barcelona at Easter. Chocolate shops also make chocolate "monas" which you can see on display in their windows. The origins of the word "mona" aren't clear, but it is thought that the word comes from Morocco where "mona" means "gift", or from the latin word "muna" of the same meaning. The mona tradition, which dates back to the 15th century, is that the "mona" is a gift that a godfather (or godmother) bakes for their god-children at Easter.
Another great place to see and buy Monas de Pascua is the "Museu de la Xocolata", the Barcelona Chocolate museum in the Born area of Barcelona's old city center.
Shops are closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Maundy/Holy Thursday is not a holiday. Museums and other attractions will be open over the holidays. Since Monday is a bank holiday the usual rest day of Museums is omitted and they are open.

Telford named Athlete of the Month
ELMHURST, IL -- South Dakota State University designated hitter Daniel Telford was named Tuesday as the Summit League Male Athlete of the Month for April.
A senior from Newmarket, Ontario, Telford batted .528 (19-for-36) with 16 runs batted in, reaching base in all 11 games he played. He recorded a hit in 10 contests, including six mult-hit and four-multi-RBI games, totaling four doubles, four home runs and a .972 slugging percentage. He ended the month leading The Summit League with five home runs and 28 RBI for the season.
Telford was named Summit League Player of the Week on April 15, after going 4-for-5 with two home runs and a career-high six RBI in an April 12 victory at Fort Wayne, followed by a 3-for-5, two-RBI day at the plate April 14 at Oakland. He helped lead the Jackrabbit baseball team to a 7-4 overall record during the month, including a 6-4 mark in league play.

My Dummy Alfoncina and petticoats
Added Mar 15, 2013
Toronto, Canada
Since purchasing my new old new Bernina 1010 on the Christmas Eve of 2012, I have finished two vintage-inspired dresses and was finishing the third (Polka Dot) dress when it became quite clear that I need a dress form. I've been very lucky to find just this past weekend a vintage Dritz My double form from someone who bought it in 50th. The form is made out of mesh and can be fitted/molded to person's body. I called her Alfoncina and promised her original owner that Alfoncina will be in good hands. I also followed her advice and dressed Alfoncina into two pairs of cut panties. It looks beautiful and it is easier to fit the dresses.
Alfoncina features two Petticoats/Crinolins/underskirts.
A pink petticoat is a re-purposed lining from a damaged party dress that I re-worked into completely different garment (will post it shortly). I left the side seam opened so that it can be worn with Butterick 4790 Polka Dot dress I posted earlier.
A white petticoat I made from the old summer dress by adding net layers to the cotton base.
I liked fine detailing – lace and tucks – of the dress but it was too small to wear as is.
Material Notes
Pink underskirt: Viscose and hard net.
White underskirt: fine cotton/voile and soft net.
What I learned from this project:
Use a proper lining material for the underskirt – ideally, made of natural fiber.
Use stiffer netting that holds better the shape of the full skirt.

The fifth annual Niagara Falls Relay For Life, a signature fund raising event for the American Cancer Society, will take place on Saturday, May 18, from noon to midnight on Old Falls Street in Niagara Falls.
Recognizing the 100th anniversary for the American Cancer Society, organizers report the Niagara Falls Relay is making big changes.
Members of the Downtown Niagara Falls Business Association, who are hosting their 5K run on May 18, have joined the Relay committee along with area schools, local businesses and members of the community to bring this event to the heart of Niagara Falls. And, the Relay committee is excited to have on board a number of businesses. Included are the Hard Rock Café, which will be hosting a luncheon during the event for Falls Relay cancer survivors; the NCCC Culinary Institute; New ERA; Mass Mutual; Old Falls St.; Sevenson Environmental Services; and Northern Customs Services.
The Niagara Falls Parks Commission will light Niagara Falls purple during the evening of the event, and teams are working hard on their personal and team fundraising events and goals.
The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life of Niagara Falls will be a 12-hour celebration where people take turns walking, running or otherwise circling around a track "relay" style to raise funds to fight cancer.
"You don't need to be a track star to be a winner in this race for life. The idea is to enjoy your time, dance, play games, check out our basket raffle, and enjoy the presence of others all while raising money to fight cancer, and provide services to cancer patients and their families," said organizer Will Sherman.
He reports there will be music from the likes of Jamie Holka, Saxman Slim, Steve Balesteri, Brent Persia, Billy Draws Two and Devan Golda. One of the many highlights of the event is the "Luminaria" service, or candlelight vigil, held at nightfall to honor cancer survivors and caregivers and to remember those lost to cancer.
"This year, we will light a path from our event on Falls Street down to the falls itself," Sherman said. "We invite all of the community to join us by registering a team for the event, or just come and spend some time with us on May 18 right here on Old Falls Street. We want to share our passion for finishing the fight against cancer with you."
The opening ceremony will be at noon, following the DNFBA 5K Run. Other ceremonies taking place will be the "Fight Back Ceremony" at 3 p.m., a "Caregiver Ceremony" at 6 p.m., and a moving "Luminaria Ceremony" at 9 p.m. A basket raffle will run from 1 to 7 p.m., with winning numbers to be posted at 7:30 p.m.

WND Exclusive
Obama camp pushes to sell birth-certificate images
'Don't miss out on this chance to get yours'
The Obama campaign for the presidency in the 2012 election is pushing harder to have people buy copies of the "birth certificate" image that the White House released to provide "proof positive" of a Hawaiian birth.
But campaign officials have decided perhaps that continuing to provide more publicity to a book by author Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., "Where's the Birth Certificate," might not be the best idea.
When the campaign earlier described the book as delusional, laughable and a "joke" – and promotedthe sale of T-shirts and mugs with the "birth certificate" image, the book rocketed as high as No. 12 among all books on Amazon.com.
new book, "Where's the Birth Certificate?", is now available for
immediate shipping, autographed by the author, only from the WND
Now, days after the Obama campaign launched its ridicule, it has sent out another email telling people, "We're getting in final orders for our limited-edition 'Made in the USA' T-shirts and mugs this week. Don't miss out on this chance to get yours and poke a bit of fun at the silliness going on out there."
Then the email from Jullianna Smoot, deputy campaign manager for Obama for America included a link to the "donate" options for the campaign. But there was no mention of Corsi, or his book.
The book, however, remained No. 1 in constitutional law, government and other categories, and was at No. 43 among all books at Amazon.
Previously, the Democrat National Committee jumped into the act.
That fundraising message, from "Brad Woodhouse, Democrats.org" with a return address of [email protected], said:
"Friend —
When one-time Republican frontrunner Donald Trump dropped out of the presidential race, I thought we were done with all this birther nonsense.
But I guess right-wing conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi finally got to prove a Democrat wrong. Corsi just released his latest book, called — wait for it — Where's the Birth Certificate?
Fortunately, the Obama campaign knows just how to handle things like this: Treat them like the joke they are. That's why I wanted to be sure you saw the campaign's email from yesterday offering "Made in the USA" mugs with the President's birth certificate. You can get yours here:
The email then linked to the original Barack Obama email.
It was Obama's re-election campaign, BarackObama.com, that originally publicized the book in an email offering to sell T-shirts with an image of Obama stamped with the slogan "Made in the USA" as well as an image of the challenged "Certificate of Live Birth," which Hawaii officials have been unwilling to confirm as an accurate representation of what state records reveal.
The gimmick immediately prompted a flood of Internet opinions about what would be a better message, including the idea simply to stamp "Retire" in front of the "Obama in 2012" slogan.
Another suggested adding a line, "Adopted in Indonesia" to the "Made in the USA" line.
Yet another commenter pointed to a definition of "MADE" from Merriam Webster online, that says, "Fictitious, invented" … "artificially produced."
The "obama T-shirt is right!" the correspondent noted.
The publicity, intended to be negative, had the reverse effect at Amazon. The book rocketed to No. 12 overall, and No. 1 in categories for books on constitutional law, government and professional and technical.
If the circumstances gave readers the feeling of déjà vu, it was because the Obama election campaign did exactly the same thing in 2008 when it mobilized a major assault on Corsi's previous book about Obama, the No. 1 New York Times best-seller "The Obama Nation." And that was a response to the impact of his previous No. 1 New York Times best-seller, "Unfit for Command."
In the original email from BarackObama.com, Smoot proclaimed, "You'll like this one."
"Let me introduce you to Jerome Corsi," she says. "This week he released a new book that the publisher says will be a bestseller 'of historic proportions.' The title is 'Where's the Birth Certificate?' – yes, really.
"Corsi's work is a greatest-hits reel of delusions, ranging from 9/11 conspiracies to claiming that there is an infinite supply of oil in the Earth's core. In 2008, he published a book about Barack Obama claiming, among other things, that he (a) is a secret Muslim; (b) is secretly anti-military; (c) secretly dealt drugs; and (d) secretly supported terrorist actions when he was eight years old. So many secrets."
The email tells recipients, "The only thing we can do is laugh at it – and make sure as many other people as possible are in on the joke."
Then it asks supporters to donate $25 or more to Obama in exchange for a "limited edition" shirt.
The Obama email:
The Obama email
This is not the first White House reaction to Corsi's latest book. The president himself confirmed that he ordered the release of the "certificate" right after the best-selling "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama is Not Eligible to be President" was profiled on the Drudge Report and reached No. 1 on Amazon.
So, why the Obama organization's attack against this particular book, when there are so many other hot-selling books that are also very critical of Obama?
"If what Barack Obama released is really a valid birth certificate that answers all the questions about this controversy, why is the Obama campaign in attack mode on Jerome Corsi's best-selling book?" asks Joseph Farah, CEO of WND.com and WND Books, publisher of "Where's the Birth Certificate?"
"Because he fears it is his undoing. Do you really think the $1 billion Obama campaign cares about selling a few coffee mugs? Give me a break. This is an effort to derail media attention from a successful book and media tour that is focusing renewed attention on his ineligibility for office."
At the Political Punch blog on the ABC News website, Jake Tapper reported that Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt characterized the new effort as a "mobile version" of Obama's 2008 online "fight the smears" effort, which attempted to mute criticisms about his candidacy.
'Fight the Smears' 2.0
About that déjà vu: In June 2008, Obama launched a website called "Fight the Smears" to stop "ideologues" from "spreading a 'pack of lies' about Barack." As WND reported, the site disappeared in July 2009.
"Whenever challenged with these lies we will aggressively push back with the truth and help our supporters debunk the false rumors floating around the Internet," Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor told the New York Times.
Some of the "smears" they intended to smack down included assertions that "Obama's campaign was funded by foreigners," "Obama sought endorsement from the (socialist) New Party," "Obama has connections to Bill Ayers" and "Obama is a Muslim."
The website reserved a special section for its counter-attack on Corsi's 2008 New York Times No. 1 best-seller, "The Obama Nation," featuring a 40-page rebuttal.
However, many of the so-called "smears" of 2008 have turned out to be widely recognized as factual. Moreover, many charges made against Corsi by the Obama campaign were themselves fabricated. For instance, not only did Corsi not state in "The Obama Nation" that the president is a secret Muslim, he said the opposite. In advice to John McCain's campaign, Corsi offered that it would be unwise to make that claim, because one can't "read another person's soul."
Obama's father was a convert to Islam and his stepfather was a Muslim. During the 2008 presidential campaign, the Associated Press published an image of a document that showed Obama's religion as "Islam" and his citizenship "Indonesian" when he lived in the Muslim-majority nation with his mother and stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.

Corsi also endured a fierce backlash to his previous No. 1 New York Times best-seller, co-authored with John O'Neill, "Unfit for Command," which charged that Democratic Sen. John Kerry fabricated his image as a Vietnam war hero. The book also recounted his radical anti-war effort that followed his deployment. Many political analysts believe "Unfit for Command" and the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign that accompanied it was a decisive factor in Kerry's loss to President George W. Bush in 2004.
Media, including the Associated Press, typically call the book's claims "unsubstantiated" or "debunked," usually without evidence. Those who offered evidence contended the military's records supported Kerry's version of events, without mentioning the group's assertion that it was Kerry himself who wrote the "official record" in many instances, in after-action reports.
When the Kerry campaign did respond to specific claims in "Unfit for Command," it was to backtrack, such as in the case of Kerry's long-held assertion – which he later was forced to recant – that he was in Cambodia illegally Christmas Eve 1968.
Instead of addressing the Swift Boat Veterans' specific claims, the Kerry campaign threatened lawsuits against the television stations that aired the group's ads, demanded publisher Regnery pull "Unfit for Command," accused the group of being run by the Republican Party and attacked the character of co-authors O'Neill and Corsi.
But the lesson the Kerry campaign's ineffectual response to the devastating Swift Boat campaign was this: When Corsi writes a book, counter-attack swiftly and with all barrels. That was the strategy followed by the Obama campaign in 2008 with "The Obama Nation," and again now with "Where's the Birth Certificate?"
Of course, sometimes publicity – even bad publicity – is a good thing.
"Obama's campaign skyrocketed Corsi to immediate and certain fame," wrote commentator Judi McLeod at Canada Free Press.
"Marxists liking to mock their enemies is no guarantee folks will buy Obama's silly coffee mugs," she wrote. "There are too many out there worried they won't be able to come up with the scratch for the coffee to pour into them."
"Meanwhile, the big question 'Where's the Birth Certificate?" just got replaced with 'Why would the president of the USA publicly mock the man who asked?' on a coffee mug?"
Half of Americans still doubt Obama's birth story
It was on April 27, with great fanfare, that Obama finally released his "birth certificate" after years of stonewalling, spending a fortune on attorneys to block its release and defend against dozens of lawsuits brought by citizens wanting to see it, claiming he had already released it and ridiculing everybody who said he had not released it.
Yet a stunning Gallup Poll taken more than a week later (May 5-8) shows more than half of all Americans remain unconvinced Obama was born in the U.S.
Perhaps that's because, while the establishment press continues to ridicule "birthers" as conspiracy nuts, the White House's April 27 document release has generated vexing new questions and outright contradictions regarding the president's "birth certificate."
For instance, two weeks before Obama finally released his "long-form birth certificate," Hawaii's former Health Department chief Chiyome Fukino – the one official who claimed to have examined Obama's original birth document under lock and key in Hawaii – was interviewed by NBC News' national investigative correspondent Michael Isikoff, who reported that Fukino told him she had seen the original birth certificate and that it was "half typed and half handwritten."
However, the document released by the White House was entirely typed. Only the signatures and two dates at the very bottom were "handwritten." What Fukino described is apparently a different document from what Obama released to the public.
Since the document's late-April release, a flood of expert analyses, some by Obama voters, has cast serious doubt on the legitimacy of the president's belatedly produced "birth certificate."
Among topics dealt with in "Where's the Birth Certificate?":
• The mainstream media feverishly investigated the presidential eligibility story – that is, when it focused on Obama's Republican opponent, John McCain.
• Obama was born a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States, a circumstance the Constitution's framers considered an iron-clad roadblock to the presidency. The book documents the clear, original intent of the Constitution's founders, which was that no one with dual loyalties would ever be president and commander in chief.
• As a boy, Obama was officially registered in school as a Muslim and Indonesian citizen, another barrier to U.S. natural-born citizenship.
• The press and blogosphere widely reported Obama was born at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu – before deciding he was born across town at Kapi'olani Women's and Children's Hospital. To this day, Kapi'olani is bizarrely secretive about Obama's alleged birth there.
• The Congressional Research Service, a public policy arm of Congress, officially admits no one in the government ever vetted Obama's constitutional eligibility.
• In preparation for the 2012 election, more than a dozen states are considering legislation to force all presidential candidates to prove they are constitutionally qualified before they can be placed on that state's ballot
• Going far beyond the issue of birth certificates, Corsi not only documents inconsistencies, blackouts and outright fabrications in Obama's life narrative that have generated widespread doubts, but lays out a compelling body of evidence that Obama is not a natural-born citizen as is required of all presidents by Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
One of the biggest disputes that remains unaddressed is why Barack Obama, who lived in Hawaii as a teen, has a Social Security number that indicates he had a Connecticut address.
The controversy over Obama's Social Security number traces back to a WND story May 11, 2010, when it was reported that two private investigators working independently were asking why Obama was using a number set aside for applicants in Connecticut while there is no record he ever had a mailing address in the state.
The records indicate the number was issued between 1977 and 1979, when Obama was between 16 and 18 years old and living in Hawaii.
The Social Security website confirms that the first three digits in Obama's Social Security number are reserved for applicants with Connecticut addresses, 040-049.
Since 1973, Social Security numbers have been issued by one central office, and the first three digits of a person's Social Security number have been determined by the Zip code of the mailing address on the application.

"Downton Abbey" season 4 finale — spoilers
Julian Fellowes pulled off a graceful season 4 finale for "Downton Abbey," assuring PBS of continued buzz and unaccustomed ratings. While honoring the formality of upper crust English life, the Crawley clan are now able to joke about tradition and the Jazz Age, as Monarchists debate Modernists and daughters take action to shape their own fates.
The pressure of change felt real this season, even if some of the soap operatic storylines didn't quite.
So. The father of Edith's child had a run-in with the Nazi Brownshirts in Munich and is still absent, while Edith has struck a deal with a neighbor to rear her daughter nearby.
Mary's two suitors turn out to be bluebloods, not enemies of her class, and the battle for the young widow's affections continues. The Countess of Grantham's mother, played by Shirley MacLaine, and the Earl of Grantham's mother, played by Dame Maggie Smith, scored innumerable zingers on the subject of time and aristocracy passing. (MacLaine, like Paul Giamatti, served only to differentiate the rough American type from the excruciatingly well-mannered Brits. As comic relief they were fun, as drama their bits wore thin.)
Bates turns out to have a talent for forgery, the conniving Barrow is put in his place, but he still has something on Branson. Molesley has found his courage. Isobel Crawley remains the wise and wonderful, if not so flashy, conscience of the piece.
But the real scene stealers, capping the season, are dear Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes (Jim Carter and Phyllis Logan), left to dip their toes into romance, at long last. If we can just hold onto that idea until next season.
So much history to filter through the lives of the beautifully dressed and class-conscious Crawleys; so many reasons (10 million viewers) to keep it going.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Ellis McLoughlin and Bobby Convey scored 12 minutes apart late in the second half to guide the San Jose Earthquakes to a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution on Saturday night at Buck Shaw Stadium.
McLoughlin opened the scoring with a well-placed header in the 71st minute – just four minutes after entering the game as a second-half substitute – while Convey converted what proved to be the game-winning strike from a set piece in the 83rd minute.
Chris Tierney scored his second career goal in the 86th minute to pull the Revs (3-4-4, 13 pts.) within one in the closing stages, but the late fight-back fell short as the Earthquakes (3-4-3, 12 pts.) secured their second consecutive home victory.
For the first time this season, Revolution head coach Steve Nicol named an unchanged starting lineup after his side claimed a 1-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC last weekend. Unavailable once again was the injured trio of Ousmane Dabo (R adductor strain), Didier Domi (L quad strain) and Marko Perovic (L knee sprain).
The Revs controlled possession in the very early stages, but it was San Jose which created the game's first scoring chance in the seventh minute. Steven Lenhart teed up Joey Gjertsen for a drive from the top of the box, forcing Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis into a smart save.
Reis had the crossbar to thank for keeping the game scoreless in the 13th minute, when Khari Stephenson's clever free kick eluded the wall and crashed off the woodwork.
Shalrie Joseph returned the pressure by testing Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch with a knuckling drive in the 25th minute, but the veteran netminder was alert to punch the shot away.
New England continued to gain a foothold as the first half progressed and had legitimate appeals for a penalty waved away in the 37th minute when Tierney appeared to be taken down in the box as he shaped to shoot. No foul was given, however, and the teams went into the halftime break scoreless.
After finishing the first half with a surge, the Revs began the second half in a similar vein and threatened again in the 56th minute. Benny Feilhaber linked up with Joseph outside the box and the captain slipped a pass into the right side of the area for Rajko Lekic, whose quick shot was easily handled by Busch.
Despite holding the upper hand through large parts of the match, the Revs eventually conceded the opener in the 71st minute as they saw their 283-minute shutout streak come to an end. MLS' 2010 Golden Boot winner Chris Wondolowski was the provider as his right-wing cross found McLoughlin at the back post for a free header, which he guided back across the face of goal and inside the right post.
Wondolowski almost put his own name on the score sheet in the 79th minute when his blistering shot from 20 yards out whistled past the right post, but Convey one-upped his teammate with a fantastic finish to double the Earthquakes' lead four minutes later. Convey seemed likely to cross from a free kick toward the right touchline, but instead whipped a vicious shot into the far upper corner as it kissed off the left post.
Tierney pulled one back for the Revolution with a curling free kick in the 86th minute – expertly bending the ball around the wall and inside the left post – but the goal proved to be mere consolation as a frantic late push failed to result in an equalizer.
The Revs will return to action on Wednesday, May 25, when they visit Sporting Kansas City for a U.S. Open Cup play-in match at the Blue Valley District Activities Complex in Overland Park, Kan. The Revolution's league schedule will resume on Saturday, May 28, when the club hosts the LA Galaxy at Gillette Stadium.
