Laura Ingraham's Hypocrisy Over Dream 9 Immigration Protest
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham has repeatedly attacked and mocked the undocumented immigrants known as the "Dream 9," who in July staged a protest at the U.S.-Mexico border to highlight what they feel are unjust immigration laws. Ingraham has accused the activists of not respecting the laws of the United States, saying that "when you come into our home and make it your home, then you've got to follow the rules."
But far from respecting her nation's laws, Ingraham has hypocritically advocated for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, even going so far as to seemingly agree that shutting down the government over the law wouldn't be the end of world.
Discussing the Dream 9 movement in an interview with undocumented activist Cesar Vargas on Fox News, Ingraham criticized the activists for "flout[ing] the law" and mocked their protest as a "stunt" that was "disrespecting our laws." When Vargas explained that the activists are trying to show that their home's immigration laws are "outdated" and that the immigration system is "broken," Ingraham attacked them as opportunists intent on taking advantage of the Obama administration's deferred action program.
She also told Vargas that if the Dream 9 really consider the United States their home, then they should "respect" their home's law, adding: "When I go into someone else's home, I try to follow their rules. So when you come into our home and make it your home, then you've got to follow the rules."
But contrary to Ingraham's accusations, the Dream 9 have broken no immigration laws with their protest. As she herself admitted, all were brought into the country as children. They did not willingly come into the country illegally.
As the Los Angeles Times further explained, the Dream 9 are a group of undocumented immigrants who "staged an unconventional and risky protest last month at the U.S.-Mexico border to spotlight the thousands of people deported under the Obama administration."
The article continued:
When the so-called Dream 9 -- named for the Dream Act, which would provide them a path to legalization -- attempted to reenter the U.S. at the Nogales, Ariz., port of entry, they were arrested. They have been in federal custody ever since.
On Tuesday, immigration asylum officers found that all nine had credible fear of persecution or torture in their birth country and could therefore not be immediately removed, said Margo Cowan, the group's attorney.
Their cases now go to an immigration judge, who will decide whether to grant asylum.
As the article noted, they presented themselves at a border crossing legally -- they did not try to sneak illegally into the country. Moreover, they were immediately put in detention, which an LA Times editorial called a "huge risk," and are going through legal channels -- petitioning for asylum -- to remain in the country legally.
All were released from detention on August 7 pending their hearings.
However, Ingraham continued her attacks on her radio show on August 9, claiming the Dream 9 activists are "purposely trying to flout our law" and have "no respect for our law whatsoever."
In another segment attacking the activists on August 6, she called for them to be deported over their "little game at the border" and mocked their petitions for asylum for claiming they have credible fear of persecution.
But while Ingraham repeatedly criticizes the Dream 9 for supposedly not respecting U.S. immigration law, she has repeatedly agitated for repealing the ACA -- which President Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010:
- On her August 2 radio show, Ingraham hosted Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to outline his plan to defund the ACA and agreed that it should be repealed.
- During an interview with Newt Gingrich on August 1, Ingraham agreed that the law is a "nightmare" and a "disaster" and advocated for Republicans to put in place a "full delay" of the health care law until a Republican president and Congress can be elected to repeal it altogether.
- On July 31, Ingraham seemed to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) idea to shut down the government over the ACA, saying, "On the principle, of course, you and I agree on this. I mean, I want this thing gone. This is ridiculous." Cruz later claimed that "the world didn't end" when the government shut down in the 1990s. Ingraham didn't disagree, adding that "they threatened that the sky was going to fall" following the sequester, but "none of that happened."
- Hosting Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) on July 24, Ingraham endorsed Republicans' plan to repeal the law, saying, "Defund it. Kill it. Get rid of it. We don't want it."
- During an August 2010 Fox News segment, she demanded that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) pledge to bring a bill to the House floor to repeal the law if the Republicans gained the majority in the House in the 2010 midterm elections.

[Update October 19th, 2011 - See our more recent post on this subject] While Taseko's "New Prosperity" mine may be "new" in name only, the companies involved do have at least one "new" employee. Jason T. Quigley is now the Executive Vice President of Regulatory and Stakeholder Affairs of Taseko Mines Ltd.'s parent company, Hunter Dickinson Inc. (HDI). Until recently, Quigley was employed as the Regional Director for the Pacific and Yukon Regional Office of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA), and for at least some of the that time CEAA was involved in the environmental assessment of the original Prosperity mine proposal. Is Quigley's employment move one more example of a revolving door between industry and government?
[Update October 19th, 2011 - We have received a letter from HDI regarding this post and our new post - Ooops, HDI is more of an Uncle to Taseko - provides more current information on this situation]

Many of our Roman roads are still used, but these rarely show signs of
their Roman origin beyond certain peculiarities of their courses, which
will be referred to later. Many, on the other hand, fell out of use at an early period,
probably owing to the changed conditions brought about by the English
conquest. These disused roads have in a wholesale manner been levelled
by the plough and plundered of their materials; but in most counties of
England and Wales there are fragments that have escaped. If Nature may
have been unkind to these fragments — if the roots of trees have
loosened their structure and the moisture of the ground has softened
their concretes — she also has gently buried them under a protective
mantle of vegetable mould. Thus buried they continue, sometimes as
perfect in form as when they were abandoned.
These intact roads usually show as low, rounded ridges, varying from a few inches to a foot or more in height and from 15 to 30 ft. in width; but these limits are sometimes not reached, or are exceeded. For instance, the
Street in Lincolnshire and the East Riding, the road from Silchester to
Bath, and the 'Achling Ditch' between Old Satum and Badbury Rings,
occasionally attain a height of 5 ft.
or even more. On the other hand, the ridge may be so low as to be
scarcely discernible. The actual roadway is rarely seen, as it is
usually covered with turf, and as this is generally thinner on the
summit than at the sides, it has the effect of softening the contour
and reducing the relative height. Another feature may sometimes be
noticed — side ditches. These, in rare instances, retain much of their
original size; but usually they are so far obliterated as to show only
as gentle and ill-defined hollows, less apparent in themselves, than in
their effect of accentuating the relief of the ridge.
The structure varies greatly, even in the same road. It may be anything
from a mere spread of gravel on the old natural surface to a causeway
of Vitruvian complexity.
The differences of construction are not susceptible to any satisfactory
classification. We know that there were various kinds of roads — viae militares, viae vicinales, viae agrariae, etc.
— and maintained in different manners; but we cannot say whether these
were distinguished by any peculiarities of form and construction. No
doubt the art of road-making underwent some change during the centuries
of Roman rule. No doubt, also, the by-ways were less carefully and strongly constructed than the
principal thoroughfares. But it is certain that the chief cause of
structural differences lay in the nature of the materials used. The
ancient road-makers depended, with rare exceptions, upon materials near
at hand, and as these varied considerably, the mode of construction
varied also. The differences are more noticeable in the treatment of
the surface than in the under-structure. Where hard or massive rocks
abound, paved or pitched roads preponderate; whereas in other
districts, especially those of cretaceous or tertiary formation,
gravelled roads are the rule.
The 'Fen Road,' which threads Fenland from east to west, is an example
of simple construction. Dugdale described it as "a long causeway
made of gravel about three feet in thickness and sixty feet broad, now covered with the moor, in some places three and in others five feet thick."1 The road between Badbury and Pool Harbour in Dorset is similar. Near Corfe Hills, it consists of gravel, 1 1/2 ft.
thick and 18 ft. wide at the base, resting on the old heath.
Sometimes the gravel was mingled with larger stones, as in a road cut
through at Manchester in 1765, which was 4 1/2 ft. thick and 42 ft. wide.2
In chalky districts, the roads were often of chalk and flints mixed
together, as the ridge of the Watling Street on Barham Down, described
by Dr. Stukeley.3
More often the finer materials rest on a platform or foundation of
large stones. The Watling Street near Rugby, for instance, has 3 ft. of gravel on a layer of large cobbles laid on the clayey subsoil.4 A section of the Akeman Street at Woodstock, in 1898, presented a ridge 17 ft. wide with a small ditch on either side, which was constructed of two well-defined layers — a lower, 10
in. thick of Stonesfield slates naturally split and laid sloping in the
direction of the road with a few placed flat on the top, and an upper,
of 6 in. of the local gravel.5
Two cuttings made by the late General Pitt-Rivers across the Roman road
between Old Sarum and Badbury at Bokerly Dyke in 1889, indicated a
more complex structure. The second section shown in Fig. 5
presents a central agger with a convex summit, 25 ft.
6 in. wide at the base and between 3 and 4 ft. high in the middle,
between two ditches which were not visible before excavation, the width
over all being 87 ft. The agger was constructed as follows: Upon a spread of nodular flints, about 3 in. thick and resting directly upon the old natural surface, were laid, in ascending order, 6 in. of rammed chalk, 10
in. of gravel, 6 in. of rammed chalk rubble, and finally 6 in. more of
gravel, the last forming to actual road-surface. Over this had
accumulated 5 in. of humus.6
Some drainage operations at Strood, Rochester, in 1897, disclosed
a fine section of the Watling Street, which presented, in addition to a
similar stratified structure to the last, the unusual feature of a
timber foundation. The land here was formerly a marsh, and in order to
provide a suitable bottom, the Roman engineers first drove two rows (14 ft.
apart, the width of the intended road) of stout oak piles into the mud,
and spanned the intervening space with timber beams. Upon the platform
thus formed, were deposited the following: 3 ft. 6 in. of large pieces of flint and Kentish rag with a few broken tiles; 5 in. of rammed chalk; 7
in. of finely broken flints; 9 in. of small pebble gravel and earth,
rammed; and finally the pavement of Kentish rag in irregular pieces,
and jointed together with fine gravel. This pavement had worn
wheel-tracks, a single one on one side, and three close together on the
other, the outermost being 6 ft. 3 in. distant from the first.7
Examples of road-structure might be multiplied indefinitely, but we
must further consider the treatment of the surface. That of the Roman
equivalent of Edgware Road, London, which was cut through a few years
ago, was found to consist of large nodular flints laid with their
smooth faces upwards on a bed of rammed gravel, and grouted into a
rock-like mass, the whole being about
24 ft. wide. Such roads were not uncommon where flints were
obtainable. We read of roads elsewhere being paved with boulders,
cobbles, moor-stones, etc. Others are better described as pitched.
The surface of the Foss Way near Ilchester was, according to
Dr. Stukeley, constructed of flat quarried stones laid edgeways,
and resembled "the side of a wall fallen down."8
A mile west of Pontypool is a small Roman road, the pitching of
which is of the local Pennant grit packed on edge, like the granite
settings of our street-crossings (Fig. 6, C).9
Others again, as indicated above, were metalled with gravel; but it is
probable that in some cases the gravel was the agglomerate of concrete,
the limy constituent of which has perished. In other cases, the fine
superficial material may be the bedding from which paving or pitching
has been stripped. From many of our Roman roads the surface stones have
been removed in a wholesale fashion for building purposes.10
Where suitable stone abounded, the roads were often confined with
kerbs. The military way of the Wall of Hadrian has edgings of large
rough stones, as indicated in Fig. 5, a section made in 1894
at White Cross. This road is peculiar in having a double row of large
stones bedded in it along the middle, possibly to support a fence to
prevent the commingling of troops travelling in opposite directions.
The kerbs of the Maiden Way are similar but roughly squared.11 A neater kerb, and one that would better withstand the thrust of the agger,
was a line of flagstones planted on edge in the ground. The road near
Pontypool, referred to above, has kerbs of this description; so also
has a Roman road at Blackpool Bridge in the Forest of Dean. This road,
which is barely
9 ft. wide, is formed of a rough spread of stones, and the kerbs
are supported externally by a row of blocks, as indicated in
Fig. 6.12
Piles occasionally take the place of stone kerbs. A good example
occurs near Chats Moss, Lancashire, where the whole structure,
consisting of a pavement of large stones, 18 ft.
wide, a layer of sand, and a foundation of brushwood, is supported
along the sides by stakes driven into the peat below.13
In marshy places, the roads sometimes consisted of a 'corduroy' of oak
logs. Such roads have been found near Ambleside and Gilpin Bridge,
Westmorland, the latter resting on three longitudinal lines of logs,
and kept in position by stakes at intervals.14 The Danes Pad, near Fleetwood, is probably a Roman footpath. It averages 20
in. in width, and is constructed of oak trees sawn asunder and laid end
to end — a single piece, if wide enough; if not, two or more side
by side — upon transverse oak sleepers, through which they are pegged
into the peat below.15
The Roman engineers were careful to give their roads the necessary
convexity to ensure the rapid removal of rain-water, and they often,
perhaps always, provided side ditches. These were sometimes small and
bordered the actual roadway. In other instances, they were large and
set back from the road-sides, as at Bokerly Dyke. On the Northern
Watling Street, near High Rochester, they are 8 ft. wide and 34 ft. apart. The Roman road between Old Sarum and Badbury, near Vernditch Wood, is 6 ft. high and 16 1/2 ft. wide, and the ditches are 60 ft. apart. Another road on Durdham Down, Clifton, was found a few years ago to be 20 ft.
wide between two ditches 50 ft. apart. Even on the same road the
distance of the ditches frequently varies. On dry ground, a mere gutter
on each side sufficed to carry away the rain-water. On swampy ground,
it was necessary to drain not only the agger,
but the soil below, and for this purpose the ditches were larger and
deeper. Prudence demanded that they should be at some distance,
especially if the road was highly raised.
The popular belief that undeviating straightness is the distinguishing
mark of a Roman road is not borne out by the facts. The Foss Way
nearest approaches this condition. Throughout its 200 miles between Lincoln and Axminster it never deviates more than 6
miles from a straight line joining these places. Its gentle sinuosities
swing it from time to time across this line, but nowhere do road and
line coincide. It provides a remarkably direct route, but not a
straight line. On the other hand, in the hilly districts where such
direct roads would involve impracticable gradients, they are notably
winding, as in the case of the Northumbrian Watling Street and the
Doctor Gate between Brough and Melandra Castle in Derbyshire. Another
example of circuitousness is the Roman road between Lincoln and York.
As the crow flies the distance between these places is 55 miles, but
in order to avoid the swamps of Humberland, the road swings inland, and this adds 17 miles to the route.
A characteristic of Roman roads, but one which they share with
many other ancient roads, is a decided preference for high rather than
low ground, due to the swampy and wooded condition of the valleys at
the time. A more characteristic feature is the mode in which the
deviations are laid out. In a modern road or railway, this is effected
by curves; in a typical Roman road, by straight lengths forming angles
with one another. These angles generally occur on hills or other high
landmarks; less frequently at rivers and stations. Reaching a hill,
where there is one of these bends, the spectator may expect the road to
make a bee-line for some conspicuous point, be it a hill or a gap in
the hills on the horizon. The road there may make a fresh bend, or it
may continue in the same line until a suitable point is reached, from
which the engineers of old were enabled to determine the next stage of
their work.
This predilection for high ground and straight sections may be well
studied on the Foss Way between Lincoln and Leicester. As already
stated, this road crosses the country diagonally in a singularly direct
course, nowhere deviating more than 6 miles from a straight line; and the greatest deviation occurs in this portion. The road branches from the
Street about a mile and a half south of Lincoln, and instead of
pointing to its destination approximately south-west by south, it takes
a more westerly course, heading straight for Potter Hill, 8
miles away. This hill crests the watershed of the Trent and Witham
basins. By this westerly trend, the road avoids the valley of the
latter river, which it otherwise would follow for about 18 miles. To avoid the Trent, on the other hand, it now gently swerves somewhat to the south; but after 6 1/2 miles of straightness, it again has a more westerly trend at Newark in order to reach that river at East Stoke, 2 1/2 miles
farther, where a bridge carried a branch-road to the north-west. The
road here makes a more decided turn towards the south, in order to gain
the high ground behind the east side of the valley. For 8
miles it goes straight ahead, until an eminence near Cropwell is
capped, when its course becomes still more southerly. Then after
another straight course of 2 1/2 miles,
the high ground of Cotgrave Gorse is reached, and here the road attains
its maximum divergence from the ideal line. The configuration of the
country is now favourable for a return to this line. Availing itself of
the stretch of high land between the Devon catchment and that of
several small streams which debouch into the Trent to the west, the
road takes an 8 1/2 miles'
almost due east course, and perfectly straight except for an easterly
detour near Willoughby, probably a deviation from its original line.
Six Hills, the highest point between Lincoln and Leicester, is then
reached. Here a slight westerly bend directs the road more towards the
latter city, and at the same time enables it, in its generally
descending course to the Soar valley, to take advantage of the spur
between the tributaries of that river on the west, and those of the
Wreak on the east. After 7 miles of straightness, the Soar is reached at Thurmaston, then another slight westerly deflection directs it to Leicester, 3 miles distant. Throughout its 42
miles of the Foss Way, the road is made up of straight lengths, and the
changes in the course take place on the hills and brows, but in no
instance at the intervening stations, of which the sites of three are
These peculiarities in the setting-out of Roman roads render valuable
corroborative service where the actual remains are doubtful; and in the
absence of such remains, will sometimes suggest the probable line. But
it should be kept in mind, that the Romans did not always follow so
exact a mehod in the setting-out of their roads as in the example just
The distribution of our Roman roads now claims attention. If three maps
of Britain, one showing the principal Roman roads, another the
principal modern roads, and the third the railways, are compared, it
will be observed that, in each, London is the grand centre from which
the chief thoroughfares radiate. Further, it will be observed that many
of these arteries follow similar courses on the three maps; also, that
most of the places where the Roman roads intersected — 'junctions' in
railway parlance — still fulfil the same function in the modern road
and railway systems. The generally closer network of the modern
communications and the multiplication of towns and villages, indicate a
denser population, but the preponderance of the
country's traffic still flows along the old lines;
and this in spite of the radical change in the distribution of the
population referred to on page 4, and indicated on the
maps (Figs. 2 and 3). That our highways should reflect the Roman
system is not surprising, for many of them perpetuate Roman lines; but
that the railways should in any appreciable degree reflect that sytem,
may seem extraordinary. The explanation lies in the paramount
importance of London the physical features of the country; and as both
the ancient and modern engineers have in the main followed the lines of
least resistance, the results, not unnaturally, are also, in the main,
similar. The Pennine Chain furnishes a simple illustration to the
point. Both the ancient and the modern engineers have avoided it in
their routes to the north. Our Great Northern and North-Eastern railway
route is along the lowlands to the east, through east Yorkshire,
Durham, and Northumberland; while the London and North-Western is
through Lancashire, and the basins of the Lune and the Eden which
divide the 'chain' from its more mountainous outlier, the Cumbrian
Mountains. In both systems it was necessary to connect east and west by
threading some of the transverse valleys of the 'chain.'
A comparison of some of the more important railway routes with the
Roman will impress the reader's memory with not only the courses of the
chief roads, but also with the places on them.
The Watling Street in its diagonal course across the country through St. Albans (Verolamium), Dunstable (Durocobrivae), and Towcester (Lactodorum), to Chester (Deva),
may be regarded as the Roman London and North-Western main line, and
its ramifications make the analogy all the more striking. Through
Chester, the traveller could proceed to Carnarvon (Segontium) and the Menai Straits, by a route which the present Irish mail closely follows. Or, he could branch off en route for Viroconium, our Wroxeter, and there, as his modern representative does at Shrewsbury, 'book' for Caerleon (Isca Silurum), via Abergavenny (Gobannium),
by an almost identical route with present, only Newport would be the
destination instead of the 'City of the Legion.' Or, if he wished to go
to Scotland, there was a line of road through Lancashire, Westmorland, and
Cumberland, which eventually reached the vicinity of Glasgow, by a
route singularly prophetic of that traversed by the London and
North-Western expresses of to-day. On this route Bremetonacum, our Ribchester, stood for Preston, and Carlisle (Luguvallium) was the junction, as now, for the Roman 'North-Eastern' for Newcastle (Pons Aelii). Or, again, the traveller could branch off for Manchester (Mancunium),
either at Chester or a point farther south in the vicinity of
Whitchurch, a Roman Crewe. This route continued, would conduct him to
York (Eburacum), only without the modern detour by Leeds.
Perhaps, however, the traveller would prefer to reach Scotland by the
more direct eastern route. Striking due north from London (Londinium), by the Erming Street, he would traverse for the first 90
miles a belt of country familiar to the passengers of the Great
Northern Scotch expresses of to-day. The Roman, however, bore eastwards
to reach Lincoln (Lindum), and then by a counter swing crossed the present route at Doncaster (Danum), and continued his journey through Aldborough (Isurium), Catterick (Cataracto), Binchester (Vinovia), Corbidge (Corstopitum), and High Rochester (Bremenium), by the Northern Watling Street; whereas the present expresses take a more easterly course through York and Newcastle.
The Great Western route from London to South Wales was remarkably anticipated. Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) played the part of our Reading, and Speen (Spinae), of Swindon. At the second place, the Roman, like the modern traveller, could proceed by a northerly route via Cirencester (Corinium), and Gloucester (Clevum), or by a more direct one via Bath (Aquae Sulis)
and across the Severn, only he negotiated the water by boat instead of
tunnel. If he chose the former, he struck a little more inland on the
western side of the Channel than the modern railway, and he joined his
friends, who preferred the sea-passage, at Caerwent (Venta Silurum); thence the road threaded Caerleon, Cardiff, Neath (Nidum), and Carmarthen (Maridunum), much as the South Wales section of the Great Western Railway does to-day.
The Great Eastern perpetuates the Roman road from London
to Norwich, and as far as Colchester (Camulodunum)
no railway more closely hugs an ancient route; but the important
Peddars Way, which connected Colchester with the north-west angle of
Norfolk near Hunstanton, is quite unrepresented in the East Anglian
railway system. The Foss Way, it may also be remarked, is another
important Roman route which is similarly unrepresented.
The Watling Street, east of London, like its modern representative the
London Chatham and Dover Railway, was the great highway for Continental
traffic, and then, as now, Canterbury (Durnovernum) was the point whence branches radiated to east Kent ports, Dover (Portus Dubris) for one. The Stane Street from London to Chichester (Regnum), and Porchester, is tolerably well represented by the London and South-Western through Guildford and Petersfield.
Silchester was one of the most important 'junctions' in the Roman road
system. Having reached it, as indicated above, the travaeller could
turn southwards and proceed to Winchester (Venta Belgarum) and Southampton (Clausentum), just as the present railway from Reading; or he could proceed in a south-west direction through Old Sarum (Sorbiodunum) and Dorchester (Durnovaria) to Exeter (Isca Dumnuniorum) by a route almost as direct as our London and South-Western Railway.
The Midland Railway is less reminiscent of Roman communications but one
limb of its X roughly coincides with the Rykneld Street through
Worcester, Birmingham, Little Chester near Derby (Derventio),
and Chesterfield, York-wards; while the Derby and Manchester section of
the other limb represents the Roman road between these placed through
Buxton whose warm springs were frequented, as at present.
In a well-watered country as ours, fords and bridges must have been
numerous, but remains of few have survived. The Roman fords were
submerged portions of the roads, only more strongly constructed so as
to resist the scour of the water. A good example— perhaps the best of any — was one across the Trent
at Littleborough near Lincoln, which was removed as a hindrance to
navigation in 1820. It consisted of a pavement of large squared
stones, the whole being kept in place between two rows of piles, which
carried horizontal beams to serve as kerbs.16
Dr. Stukeley mentions a ford on the Foss Way across the Ivel at
Ilchester, and another across the Ebble at Bemerton near Old Sarum,
both strongly paved.17 Another paved ford, 20 ft. wide, crossed the Calder on the Roman road between Manchester and Ilkley.18
Although many small bridges are popularly regarded as Roman, very few
of these appear to be so ancient. A small and narrow bridge of a
single semicircular arch over the Cock near Tadcaster and on a Roman
road to that place, was regarded as Roman by the late Mr. Roach
Smith. Of Roman bridges of greater magnitude and importance, there are
undoubted remains of several. Those of one over the North Tyne at
Chollerford are noteworthy.19
It was of four spans, and probably of timber, resting upon piers and
abutments of fine and massive masonry, the length between the abutments
being 184 ft.
The existing masonry encloses the remains of a narrower and earlier
bridge, possibly the work of Hadrian. When the ancient bridge over the
Tyne at Newcastle was demolished in 1771, it was found that the
medieval builders had availed themselves of portions of the piers of an
older and Roman structure. Another Roman bridge, about
462 ft. long, with eleven waterways, crossed the Tyne at
Corbridge, and its remains were examined and surveyed a few years ago.
A Roman timber bridge on stone piers is known to have crossed the
Nen near Caistor; and the old timber and stone bridge at Caerleon,
which was destroyed about a century ago, is said to have been Roman.
Some remains of a timber bridge buried in silt at Wallasey near
Birkenhead were regarded as Roman by the late Mr. Thompson Watkin.
The plan of the Roman road at Blackpool Bridge (Fig. 6) presents
an interesting example of a small road which crossed a brook by a ford
and a bridge, of neither of which, however, are any traces left.
The ford was the older, and subsequently a loop-road
was made which crossed the brook by a bridge, the present bridge being
on the site of the ancient one.
The chief roads of Britain, as elsewhere, were equipped with milestones (miliaria). The Roman mile was 1000 paces, hence its name mille passuum (usually abbreviated to M.P.), and the pace was 5 ft.,20 so that the mile was 5000 ft.
It was thus considerably shorter than our mile, thirteen of the one
being roughly equivalent to twelve of the other. The typical Roman
milestone was a cylindrical shaft of stone about
6 ft. high, but square shafts were not uncommon in this country,
and not seldom rough moor-stones of suitable sizes and shapes were used
for the purpose. They were usually inscribed. The normal inscription
set forth the name and titles of the reigning emperor, the number of
miles, and the name of the place from which they were reckoned; but one
or both of the latter details were often omitted. The inscription is no
evidence of the age of the road to which the stone appertained. On the
so-called 'Via Julia' in South Wales, for instance, miliaria
to Diocletian have been found, yet the road was in existence at least
one hundred and fifty years before his time; and examples are known of
old inscriptions replaced by those of later emperors.
In the British Museum, there is a good example of a cylindrical miliarium found at Rhiwiau Uchaf, near Conway, with the following inscription:—
'To the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian, Father of his country, Consul
for the third time. From Conovium, eight miles.' Another of similar
form in the Leicester Museum was found on the Foss Way two miles from that town, in 1771. The inscription is partially effaced:—
These two examples
indicate how milestones sometimes prove or corroborate the Roman names
of places. Caerhűn, near Conway, and Leicester have long been
identified as the Roman Conovium and Ratae respectively, and these milestones found in their vicinities confirm the identification.
A milestone found at Castleford about 1880 is an example of a

Unique and fantastic selection. Beautiful, healthy trees. Completely inept customer service. The previous commenter describes the company and its problems very well. If you decide to order, pray that there are no errors or omissions in the original order. Attempting to get a refund or rectify an error is a long and extremely frustrating process. Keep good records and keep on top of any problems! Seems unready for the 21st century, with lots of excuses and little inclination to accept responsibility for shortcomings. My good nature and the great condition of the trees I received nudged my rating out of negative and into neutral range, but I will never order from this company again.

This matter has now been resolved properly, with a full refund received earlier this week. Given that, and the concern that Peter has expressed about his company's reputation, I also retract my impression that his company has dealt with me dishonestly. Flaky, perhaps, but not dishonest.
In the end, my impression of SFG is that Peter (the owner, and as far as I can tell, sole employee in the managerial realm) is trying to take on more than he can do as one person. The orchard seems to have an excellent reputation for the quality of its trees, and if you read the recent positive comments, many of them are from people who picked up their trees directly from the orchard. From having talked with him myself, the guy clearly knows his trees.
However, running a mail order business that hopes to serve the entire U.S. seems to require much more than just one guy, one computer, and paper orders, delivered by U.S. mail. I'd love to see this orchard do well enough that Peter could afford to hire someone to help with the order processing, and pay for a proper web-based shopping cart and a robust IT infrastructure. Ideally, orders made on the web would be payable by credit card and would immediately be part of a database, and not subject to ups and downs of hand-processing (that's what resulted in my lost order, I think).
Not to put too fine a point on it, but that standard for internet commerce is now 10 years old. I understand that it's neither cheap nor easy to get this in place, but it would make a huge difference in the effectiveness of the company's mail order organization.
Another small changes that would make a big difference is to send an email acknowledgment the moment an order is received. A quick note to say "the check was cashed, these are the trees you ordered, and here's when you'll probably get them" would go a long, long way toward ensuring customer happiness.

I checked the ilex vertillicata and the bayberries I bought from them 2 years ago, and they are still going. They came as tiny little things, but they have survived a hard winter and a fairly easy one in northern Illinois-allegedly Z5, but it gets colder than that. I ordered some other conservation plants at the same time, and they never showed up. I called and emailed but no response-I figure they nicked me for $10.00, and it is too bad they went to the bad, because their catalog was interesting, and the stock I got was hardy.

I have had a good many praises about Southmeadow's trees so I placed an order. After several weeks I received a partial shipment and some weeks later received someone else's order. I sent 2 e-mails without a response, tried calling and sent a certified letter saying I had someone else's order and would like to know how to handle the trees. Southmeadow never responded to my attempts to communicate with them. I must say that they only cashed my check after the shipments of trees even though my order was partially filled.

Justin Timberlake & Amanda Seyfried: "In Time" in Paris
Taking their new film around the world, Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried attended their "In Time" photocall in Paris, France on Friday (November 4).
Both looking mighty fine, the "Bad Teacher" actor and the "Red Riding Hood" star happily posed for pictures together and separately at the Hotel Bristol.
It's quite apparent that JT has been focusing on his movie career as of late, but that doesn't mean he's given up on singing.
He told BBC Newsbeat, "I don't really put anything on the back burner. I go from project to project and if something comes up that's inspiring and feels like it makes sense and is authentic to me, then… I'm just trying to continue to be inspired."
Enjoy the pictures of Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried at a French photocall for "In Time" (November 4).

CATALOGUING PATTERN Now On View Through 8/31 at SPACE
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust presents the visual art exhibition Cataloguing Pattern, a collaborative meditation on the role of pattern in artistic practice. The exhibition is on view through August 31, 2014, at SPACE.
The exhibition, guest organized by Kristen Letts Kovak, investigates the links between visual, perceptual, and cognitive patterning, and it features more than 50 artworks by nine artists. Each artist chose one aspect of patterning to investigate: seriality, rhythm, rehearsal, behavior, permutation, morphology, expectation, and repetition.
Kovak's exhibition explores the diverse role that patterning can play, noting that the process of creation often follows a pattern itself: intention, execution, and then resolution. Yet, even this pattern falls apart as the artists' original intention inevitably shifts.
"We constantly break our own patterns as we investigate them more deeply and uncover our faulty assumptions," says Kovak. "I wondered, if the cycle of establishing and breaking patterns is fundamental to the act of making art, wouldn't it appear as an underlying theme in seemingly disparate artworks?"
Each artist-through differing aesthetics, media, and content-finds his or her own balance between ordered predictability and the irregular or unknown. As a group, the artists demonstrate that breaking a predicted pattern is more significant than establishing one, and they use pattern to reveal what is otherwise hidden.
Salinda Deery transcribes the repetitive motions of factory labor into abstract paintings. She treats her large canvases like an assembly line, repeating her marks as she walks alongside the surface. The resulting paintings resonate with the history of her movements and call attention to the interruptions in her routine. She resides in Elkhart, MD.
Aaron Henderson and Ted Coffey collaborate on a series of kaleidoscopic videos. Beginning with documentation of military drills and shopping riots, they transform repeated acts of aggression into morphing visual and auditory patterns. Their work vacillates between representation and abstraction, and chaos and order. Henderson resides in Pittsburgh, PA, and Ted Coffey lives in Charlottesville, VA.

Note that as written, you are actually multiplying the subsequent
expressions by the string "\n"! If one of your expressions happens to
evaluate to 1, you will get a surprise! You should use Column, as others
have already pointed out.

Chigumbura to Hayden, OUT, would you believe it! Outside off, nipping away off the seam in the damp conditions, and Hayden's massive swipe finds only the thinnest of edges! Jubilation for the Zimbabweans, and the first wicket is down
ML Hayden c †Taylor b Chigumbura 4 (2m 2b 1x4 0x6) SR: 200.00
Chigumbura to Gilchrist, OUT, short and Gilchrist goes for the pull ... but miscues it horribly! The ball spirals into the dank Newlands heavens and midwicket pouches a comfortable catch! Australia, in their first competitive match since the World Cup final, are in something resembling disarray ...
AC Gilchrist c Matsikenyeri b Chigumbura 4 (9m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
Brent to Ponting, OUT, well well well well ... Ponting uses his feet again, and this time he perishes! A wild swing finds only an outside edge, and after an eternity third man steadies himself to claim a massive wicket! Australia, officially, are in strife.
RT Ponting c Chigumbura b Brent 8 (14m 15b 1x4 0x6) SR: 53.33
Chibhabha to Hussey, OUT, Sibanda pulls off a brilliant direct hit from point, and Hussey is on his way! That's a massive wicket. He dropped the ball into the off side and set off for the run, but was sent back as Sibanda swooped and hit with one stump to aim at
MEK Hussey run out 15 (20m 23b 1x4 0x6) SR: 65.21
Masakadza to Symonds, OUT, sharp work from Brendan Taylor as Symonds slipped moving forward while looking to cut. Forget the replays, Symonds looked immediately worried - and so he should have done
A Symonds st †Taylor b Masakadza 33 (40m 25b 4x4 0x6) SR: 132.00
Utseya to Haddin, OUT, pulls that from outside off, up in the air swirling away to the right of Chigumbura who runs round - and he has to be quick - to meet the ball out towards long-on
BJ Haddin c Chigumbura b Utseya 6 (7m 12b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
Brent to Lee, OUT, crashes a huge inside edge back onto the sticks, sending the off stump - and Lee - on their way
B Lee b Brent 13 (6m 7b 1x4 1x6) SR: 185.71
Chigumbura to Hodge, 1 run, OUT, scramble for a single down to third man, but a fast return and is sent on his way through a stunning run-out from Taylor, almost ten-pin bowling down the one stick he had to aim at (throwing with his gloved hand)
MG Johnson run out 9 (5m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 180.00
Chigumbura to Bracken, OUT, chipped out to the man at deep cover and the innings ends with a catch - and so a dot

Well, the original plan was to go with "Chelsea" tomorrow, however due to the volume of palms still reeling from Monday's bout with "Angie", I've decided to push Chelsea to next week, and I'm switching tomorrow's WOD to …..
Five rounds for time of:
Run 400 meters
30 Box jump, 24 inch box
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
*As the board gets more and more full, I will be adjusting our commitment of a "girl" WOD on Mondays & Fridays, and a "Hero" WOD on Wednesdays. In the interest of fitting some movements in so the week can be well-rounded, I'll now schedule benchmark WODs with a little more latitude. You may be doing a "girl" WOD on Wednesday, we may do two "hero" WODs that week if it jives better with our program.

I Found a Secret, Hidden, Unused Room
I have a 4 level split built in 1976. On the family room level, there is a walled-off space between the laundry room and the stairs. It is about 10 feet wide and 3.5 feet deep. I was thinking that the space was taken up by the return ducts. But I found a small opening to the room from my furnace room to look in. All the ductwork is to the side and the space is usable.
What can I do with this? Make a closet?
Why did the builder enclose this? Sound insulation from the laundry room?
OH NO! You disturbed that vintage 1976 air!!!
Got any pictures?
63 Attachment(s)
How wonderful to find "surprise" storage space! I'd put shelves in and use it for storage, just use it for items that wouldn't be affected by possible changes in temperature. Unless you know that the ductwork in there stays pretty close to room temp.
63 Attachment(s)
Could it have possibly been set aside for a chimney?
Or a place to stash bodies?
Do the neighbors refer to the previous owner as "a very quiet boy. He always kept to himself"?
That's great!
Good spot for some storage shelves, or for hiding fugitives!
I'm voting for storage shelves. =)
It sounds like a space that's in my neighbor's house, except their space was not enclosed. They use theirs for storage. Big Rubbermaid tubs of many things that are only occasionally needed. :)
Sounds like a good place for a closet. You could also make it into a small wine cellar/cave with a little work. There are some companies out there that sell wine cellar kits that wood work perfectly in this type of space.
That's a getaway room from the wife. I hope you didn't tell her.
I think a portrait on the wall with the eyes cut out, a la Scooby Doo, would be awesome.
First check for any remains. If it is clear then congratulations you just gained some storage space!

I say belated, because I know that it will be well after January the first before this column sees the light of day. Having said that, let us now move on to the discussion of gorgeous women!
Bridgette B.
Thursday, January 8Th, I went to the downtown Los Angeles Spearmint Rhino to say hello to Bridgette B. And to observe her first show of the evening.
To begin her first show, Bridgette carried a long rope onto the stage and wore a black cowboy hat. She also wore a black tank top, for lack of a better description, and what appeared to be a pair of red, black and white plaid short-shorts. The shorts were very short, I might add. Beneath the tank top, Bridgette wore a white bra, and under the short-shorts, absolutely nothing. (when I double checked with Bridgette as to whether or not she had worn anything under the shorts, she laughed and said, ''Never!'' I then said, ''Yeah! You're my kind of girl!'' for footwear, Bridgette wore a pair of above knee-length black boots with stiletto heels. The boots had a sequence of four straps with small buckles on the outsides of the shafts.
Bridgette's interaction with randomly selected denizens of the tip rail, including me at one point, was reasonable good, especially for this location.
Bridgette performed this show to, ''Control,'' by Puddle of Mud, followed by Kid Rock's, ''Cowboy,'' and ending with, ''Someday,'' by Nickleback.
Originally from Barcelona, Spain, Bridgette B. Is most definitely Spain's loss and America's gain! Bridgette's long blonde hair is now long brunette hair. (My house dancer buddy, Jenna, told me that she had heard a story about Bridgette having to change her hair color for a film she recently worked in.) Bridgette stands five feet nine inches tall, weighs one hundred twenty-five pounds and measures 34C-26-34.
In addition to looking good, and quite sexy, I might add, Bridgette has a very nice personality, she can hold her own in an intelligent conversation, she has a good sense of humor, and she truly enjoys meeting her fans.
I can see no reason why anybody should ever pass up an opportunity to go to a club to see Bridgette B. perform and to meet her in person. I personally see her every chance I get.
Apparently, Bridgette B. still doesn't have an official website. However, some photos of her can still be found on LADirectModels.com.
Roxy Jezel
After saying goodnight to Bridgette, I raced back along the 60 freeway to the City of Industry Spearmint Rhino to catch Roxy Jezel's final show of the evening and to spend a little bit of time with her after the show. (I then returned home for some much needed rest, like the world is going to ever let me get any rest.)
The one show I saw was Roxy's police woman show. For this performance, Roxy wore a black necktie and a grey-green pleated mini-dress made to resemble a police uniform. The dress was decorated with a patch on the left shoulder that resembled a California Highway Patrol shoulder patch and a six pointed gold star shaped badge over her right breast. Beneath the mini-dress, Roxy wore a black thong. For footwear, Roxy wore the same boots that I have concluded she wears with all of her costumes. That is okay with me. I do not have a shoe fetish, and the boots do look good with anything she wears. Better yet, they look very good on her when they are to only things she is wearing!
During the show, Roxy pulled one lucky young man up onto the stage, laid him down on the couch, had him help her remove her dress, then proceeded to simulate sex with him in multiple positions.
Needless to say, Roxy has a tendency to commit very good interaction with randomly selected time rail residents. Yes, I got my fair share of Roxy's delectable posterior against my chest and in very close proximity to my face, and yes, or course I was smiling!
Roxy danced this show to, ''Kill the Lights,'' followed by, ''The Answer,'' and ended with, ''Shattered Glass,'' all by Britney Spears. (I asked Roxy, ''You seem to have a thing for Britney's music, don't you? She smiled and said, ''Yes.''
Roxy, a one half English and one half Thai native of London, England, has a light brown complexion, hypnotic brown eyes and shiny, long, dark brown hair. All of this gives her a very exotic look.
Once again, I have forgotten to ask Roxy about her physical statistics. So, I will again have to go with the information I have found on the Internet.
Roxy stands five feet even, weighs one hundred five pounds and measures an all natural 32B-24-32. And, her beautiful, perky, breasts are firm and feel great! I should know, since I have had the extreme pleasure of rubbing body lotion onto her gorgeous globes at least twice in the past!
Ms. Jezel is very friendly, and she can conduct an intelligent conversation with the best of them. Also, she enjoys meeting and chatting with her fans.
Roxy is rapidly becoming a very good performer. I enjoy her performances every time I see them, and I go to see Roxy whenever I possibly can.
Therefore, I can think of absolutely no reason for anybody else to ever pass up an opportunity to go to a club to see Roxy perform and to meet her in person.
Roxy can be ogled at: RoxyJezelClub.com and MySpace.com/RoxyJezel
Teanna Kai
Friday night, January 9Th, I drove out to the Rialto Spearmint Rhino to say hello to Teanna Kai and to observe her first two shows of the evening.
For the first show, Teanna wore a red fedora hat and a red tie with blue diamond-shaped spots all over it. She also wore a long-sleeved white dress shirt and suspenders. The suspenders, with the exception of the clasps, were completely covered with red sequins. Teanna additionally wore a pair of black short-shorts. Beneath her shorts, she wore a red thong. On her feet, she wore a pair of black, stiletto-heeled shoes with platform soles of moderate height.
Teanna performed this show to, ''You Can Leave Your Hat On,'' by Joe Cocker, ''I Kissed a Girl,'' by Katie Perry, ''Take you There,'' by Sean Kingston, and, ''Sandstorm,'' by Darude.
To start the next show, Teanna wore a pair of dark sunglasses and a black belt that was decorated with evenly spaced rows of metal studs. She also wore a black, latex-vinyl, corset-like piece that was also decorated with metal studs and small chains. In addition to the corset-like piece, Teanna wore a black mini-dress. The dress was also decorated with small metal studs on the fronts of the shoulders and a line of smaller metal studs across the back of the shoulder area. Under everything else, Teanna wore a black, latex-vinyl, bikini. The breast cups of the bra were decorated with metal studs. (does anyone see a pattern here?) Beneath the bikini bottoms, Teanna wore a black G-string. For footwear, she wore a pair of black shoes with stiletto heels, platform soles of moderate height and thin ankle straps.
Teanna opened this show with, ''Personal Jesus,'' by Marilyn Manson. I did not recognize the remainder of Teanna's music during this show, and after the show, nobody I spoke with, including Teanna and her roadie, could quite remember what the other numbers were. Oh well, I tried.
Teanna's interaction with the tip rail customers is always good, and, with experience gained, she is a good performer on stage.
Teanna is five feet three inches tall, weighs one hundred four pounds, and measures 32C-23-34.
Now the previous information was given to me by Teanna herself. However, in an article in the April 2008 issue of Stiletto Magazine, her measurements were listed as being 34C-23-34. So, everybody can take their pick. I am perfectly satisfied with the way Teanna looks in the nude, no questions asked!
I can't think of a single reason why anybody should ever pass up an opportunity to go to a nearby club to see Teanna Kai perform and to meet her in person. I do believe they would enjoy the experience.

Lizzy Borden
Saturday night, January 10Th, I drove out to the Oxnard Spearmint Rhino to say hello to Lizzy Borden and to observe her final show of the gig. I would have no doubt made it in time to see both of her shows on this evening, but for the fact that TNT chose this evening to run the movie, ''A Time for Killing.'' That is such a good movie, even though I've seen it many times, I just couldn't tear myself away from the television. Therefore, I just missed Lizzy's first show of the evening.
For the one show that I did manage to see, Lizzy wore a pair of wings made with black feathers. I really don't know what to call the next part of her costume. It really wasn't a tank top, and it wasn't a bustier, nor was it a corset. I also doubt that I can get away with calling it a dress, since it came up short of covering anything below the top of Lizzy's hips. So I suppose I'll just call it a black blouse, and a very sexy looking one, I might add. Next, Lizzy wore a black thong over a pair of black, fishnet pantyhose. For footwear, Lizzy wore a pair of knee-length black boots. I don't know if the boots were made of patent leather, or latex vinyl. I just know that they were very shiny, had high-heels and platform soles of moderate height, and they laced all the way up the front.
Early in the show, Lizzy whipped herself with a small, red, cat-o-nine-tails. She also, at one point, momentarily choked herself with a long, red, ribbon, then stuffed most of the ribbon into her mouth and handed one end to a customer. After the customer had slowly pulled the ribbon from Lizzy's mouth, she allowed him to keep the ribbon.
To end this show, Lizzy did a hot candle wax bit. She poured a little bit of wax on her breasts to start. She then poured candle wax into her mouth and then spat out hardened balls of wax. After this little demonstration, Lizzy then allowed the customers, including myself, to pour the hot candle wax onto various parts of her nude body.
Needless-to-say, Lizzy's interaction with the tip rail settlers is always quite good, and her stage performances are always very good and quite different from the average.
Lizzy performed this show to, ''What I've Done,'' ''Hands Held High,'' and ''Number/Encore (Remix),'' all by Linkin Park.
Lizzy is quite intelligent (She would have to be to own and operate her own production company.) and she is very well spoken. She also has a good sense of humor, is very friendly, and she loves to meet and chat with her fans.
There is no good reason why anybody should ever miss an opportunity to get out to a club and see Lizzy perform, especially if they want to see shows that are a bit different from the norm, and to meet her in person. It should prove to be an unforgettable experience.
Take a good look at Lizzy at: LoveLizzyBorden.com
Okay folks, that will do it for another week. Let's all meet back here the next time and continue the discussion of hot, sexy, women! Until then, everybody stay safe, have a great week, and live life as if there were no tomorrow!
Bonne Année,

Family Secrets
by Norma Klein
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Despite being published 22 years ago, this book is fairly modern in its sensibilities, although the plot seems straight out of the old 80's after-school specials. (In fact, I think I saw a movie, either based on this book or very close in story line, starring Megan Follows of Anne of Green Gables fame when I was a kid.) Seventeen-year-old Leslie and Peter, who have known each other for years, are just sorting the ins & outs of their blossoming physical relationship when they discover that Peter's father and Leslie's mother are having an affair. This book is not one of Norma Klein's finest, but many aspects of the teens' relationship still ring true today, and the writing is only slightly dated.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449701956, Mass Market Paperback)Peter and Leslie's families have had beach houses near each other for years, so it seemed only natural when their friendship turned to romance. Their perfect summer romance is shattered when Leslie finds her mother's diary and discovers that her mother and Peter's father are having an affair and want to get married. Suddenly the two teens find themselves stepbrother and sister, and must learn to cope with their new lives and old friendship.

Tree Pruning
Tree Planting
Tree Removal
Tree Service Requests
Emerald Ash Borer Alert!
The City's Forestry Section is responsible for the planting, pruning and removal of all trees on City rights-of-way. The Forestry Section also conducts periodic public information workshops to inform citizens of tree-related care, needs and issues.
Tree Pruning
Tree Planting
City of Champaign Tree Planting Information
The planting of trees on public right-of-way in Champaign is regulated by the City vegetation ordinance. This ordinance establishes two ways to plant trees: The first is through Champaign's share-the-cost tree planting program; the second is through a permit issued to adjacent homeowners or developers.
- Approved Tree Species List for Planting in the City's Right-of-Way
- Tree Ratings for Ice Storm Damage
- Tree Species Distribution
Tree Removal
Tree removal occurs when:
- a tree is dead or dying, a tree is considered irreparably hazardous,
- a tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning,
- a tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees,
- a tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen, or
- to allow for new construction.
Replacement of removals: when spacing allows, all removals will be replaced at City expense.
Exceptions to this rule are:
- Trees less than 6″ in diameter, which were not originally planted by the City.
- These trees may be replaced through the Share-the-Cost Planting Program, or adjacent homeowners may plant using the City's approved species list.
- When the parkway is too narrow or existing trees too close to the proposed planting site.
Tree Service Requests
The City is responsible for the maintenance of all trees located on the City right-of-way. Service requests for emergency and hazardous tree requests will be handled immediately. Non-emergency requests are typically completed within 6 weeks. Exceptions to this rule are requests for pruning in a section or adjacent section currently scheduled for pruning, or requests for removals, that are not imminently hazardous and can be put on an annual removal contract.

Newcastle on-loan midfielder Mehdi Abeid picked up a Greek Cup Winners medal at the weekend, with Panathinaikos getting a 4-1 win over PAOK Salonika, and Swedish International striker Marcus Berg scored a hat trick for the winners.
Mehdi Abeid – at Panathinaikos for the season
Nikos Karelis also scored for Panathinaikos, and Zvonimir Vukic scored PAOK Salonika's consolation goal, after Mehdi Abeid brought down Lino inside the penalty box after 70 minutes, and Vukic converted the penalty. 🙁
Abeid has had a very successful loan spell this season in Greece, and he's had first team football every week and has played 34 times with 8 goals and 7 assists for the Greek side.
Panathinaikos are 4th top of the Greek Super League at the moment on 66 points from 34 games, and they are only three points behind second placed PAOK Salonika.
Olympiakos are running away with the title (again) with a massive 86 points from 34 games, and they are 17 points ahead of PAOK Salonika.
And news today in the Chronicle that Newcastle officials are very happy with the progress being made by the Algerian U23 International, and will give the young midfielder every chance in pre-season, to show just how much he has progressed playing for the Greek side this season.
Mehdi has five appearances for Newcastle United – so far – and the youngster turns 22 in early August.
After the game and cup win on Saturday, this is what Mehdi had to say:
"I have made progress as a player and as a man." "It has been a fantastic season."
Newcastle could loan out their younger players more regularly, so they can get first team football and have a chance to show what they can do – and they should progress much more quickly than playing for the Newcastle U21 side all season.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Bangalore, Sep 14: Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and six others have chosen Indian Premier League (IPL) franchisees over their home teams to play in next month's Champions League Twenty20 2012 in South Africa.
Final squads for CLT20 2012
CLT20 2012 Schedule
On Friday, all 14 squads for the tournament were confirmed. Narine will play for Kolkata Knight Riders though his home side Trinidad and Tobago have also qualified.
Morkel brothers, Albie and Morne too chose IPL teams Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils respectively.
The other players to pick IPL over home teams, are Michael Hussey (Chennai Super Kings), Brett Lee (Kolkata Knight Riders), Mitchell Johnson (Mumbai Indians) and Francois du Plessis (Chennai Super Kings).
Team line-ups are again brimming with the world's elite T20 talent as the champion domestic teams from a record eight countries chase the US$2.5m first prize from a total pool (including participation fees) of US$13m.
The Qualifier will start on October 9 before the Group Stage kicks off on October 13. The Final will be played on October 23 in Johannesburg.
N. Srinivasan, Chairman, CLT20 Governing Council, said: "The fourth edition of the Champions League Twenty20 is only a few weeks away. The squads that will be playing in the tournament speak for themselves. They comprise the finest cricketing talent on this planet.
"We are in for some extraordinary cricket, in what will surely be a thriller of a competition."
Dean Kino, CLT20 Governing Council Member and Director of Legal and Business Affairs, said:
"Last year's tournament showed the fine line between making the finals and early elimination. Given the high stakes and small margin for error in the Qualifier and Group Stage, some of world cricket's biggest names who are eligible for more than one team have been in high demand.
"According to CLT20 rules, if a player qualifies for more than one team, all those qualifying teams can nominate that player. When a player decides to play for an 'away' team rather than his 'home' team, the team from the country he is eligible to represent in international cricket, the 'away' team must pay US$150,000 compensation to the 'home' team."
The 2012 Karbonn Champions League Twenty20 will feature a record 14 champion teams from India (4), Australia (2), South Africa (2), England (2), New Zealand (1), Sri Lanka (1), West Indies (1) and Pakistan (1) for the first time. Eight teams have automatically qualified for the Group Stage while six teams will compete for the two remaining two places via a Qualifier.
Last year's champions Mumbai Indians and 2010 winners Chennai Super Kings headline the returning teams. Both teams will be playing in their third CLT20 tournament along with Trinidad & Tobago, the 2009 CLT20 Finalist. Of the other teams, Highveld Lions, Auckland Aces, Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders are making return visits.
Six teams will be making their first appearance in the tournament - England's Hampshire and Yorkshire, South Africa's Titans, Pakistan's Sialkot Stallions and Australia's two new Big Bash League Twenty20 teams, the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers.
CLT20 commercial rights holder ESPN Star Sports and its broadcast partners will again beam the action live around the world as a record number of teams battle to claim the world's most prestigious prize in domestic cricket.
Players who were initially nominated by more than one team but chose IPL
Dwayne Bravo - Trinidad & Tobago* / Chennai Super Kings
Francois du Plessis - Titans* / Chennai Super Kings
Sunil Narine - Trinidad & Tobago* / Kolkata Knight Riders
Mike Hussey - Perth Scorchers* / Chennai \Super Kings
Mitchell Johnson - Perth Scorchers* / Mumbai Indians
Brett Lee - Sydney Sixers* / Kolkata Knight Riders
Albie Morkel - Titans* / Chennai Super Kings
Morne Morkel - Titans* / Delhi Daredevils
Kieron Pollard - Trinidad & Tobago* / Mumbai Indians
Note: *designates 'home' team

About a year ago I was at a big box store and happened upon a display of Gear Ties, brightly colored twist-tie wraps that consist of wire with a grippy ribbed rubber coating. They looked kind of interesting so I bought a few, took them back to the shop, and used them to secure some air hoses and electrical cords. They worked great so I ordered more online, medium (12" and 18") ones for the shop and small (3" and 6") ones for the office and travel. Nite Ize also makes some larger (24", 32", and 64") ties and it's just a matter of time before I find an excuse to try them out.
Gear Ties can be coiled around the item to be secured or twisted around like a twist tie—either way will work. In the shop I use them on hoses and power cords. In the office I use them to organize cords for electronics: chargers, USB cords, ear buds, and the like. These things are not just for cords, they can be used to tie or hold just about anything you can fit them around. The same ties can be used over and over again. I suppose the wire core might eventually succumb to metal fatigue, but that has yet to happen to any of mine.
In terms of their handiness, Gear Ties are second only to duct tape. I use them all the time and yet it did not occur to me to write about them until I was reviewing a video shot at JLC LIVE. The video showed the interior of Brian Way's Shop on Wheels and there on the wall (at about the 1:50 mark) were a bunch of hoses secured with Gear Ties. Brian and I have never discussed Gear Ties but I figure if we both like them then they're probably worth talking about.
The accessories shown here are simple ties, but Nite Ize incorporates their twist tie material into multiple products that can be clipped to or mounted on a variety of surfaces.
Gear Tie Specs
Lengths: 3", 6", 12", 18", 24", 32", and 64"
Country of origin: USA
Available: in single, multi, or assorted packs
Cost: $3 to $25

For the past 20 years, our firm's founding attorney, Jody A. Miller, has practiced exclusively in the areas of family law, divorce, and juvenile law. With an office in Atlanta, Georgia, we represent clients throughout Georgia, including people in Carrolton, Decatur, Lawrenceville, and Marietta.

Divorce and Family Law
Since our firm's inception, our primary focus has been in the area of general family law including divorce. We represent clients in uncontested and contested divorces, child support, modification and enforcement, paternity and legitimation, custody and visitation, domestic violence, adoptions, juvenile law, child deprivation, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
Growing Importance of Collaborative Divorce
In recent years, clients have developed dissatisfaction with the cost and stress associated with traditional divorce cases. In addition, courts now encourage families to resolve disputes out of court in a cooperative environment. Collaborative Law uses cooperative methods rather than adversarial techniques and litigation to resolve legal disputes. An interdisciplinary team of professionals help divorcing couples reach a successful resolution of issues. Collaborative Law has become an increasingly important area of our practice. Ms. Miller is a certified collaborative law attorney.
Our firm's founding attorney, Jody A. Miller has an extensive educational and professional background. Ms. Miller graduated from Emory University with degrees in History and English.

Finished Limbo dungeon.
All I can say now is that I adore Limbic! The third dungeon is perfect! I can't believe they actually did what they did in it.
It's still not enough to put 9 on the whole game, but if this was inside from the start I'd give 8.5/10.
Didn't make all achievements, for some I'd have to replay the game with different party setups, and to get all chars to level 40, this game needs at least 3 more big dungeons. Since I don't care for achievements really, I'll pass on possible future DLC.
MM10 was an extremely fun ride where I got more than I've expected. It is now going on the shelf (read: steam backup on external cheap harddrive
). And I'm definetly buying MM11.
