Middlesbrough settle for the draw
5:18pm Saturday 21st September 2013 in Sport By Richard Mason, Sports Writer/Sub-Editor
Middlesbrough 3 Bournemouth 3
MIDDLESBROUGH squandered another Riverside advantage and had to settle for a point against Bournemouth.
A frenetic start to the game saw the hosts 2-0 down after 12 minutes, with both goals coming from Brett Pitman penalties. Kei Kamara clawed one back on 19 minutes, then Mustapha Carayol fired home on 32 minutes to level the game. Grant Leadbitter thought he had won it with a 74th minute goal but Jonathan Woodgate's own goal brought Bournemouth level, before Rhys Williams was dismissed in the 86th minute.
Early on, Middlesbrough's defenders could not deal with the pace of new signing Tokelo Rantie – a player who they had spent the summer pursuing - skipper Williams tripped the Cherries striker as he trailed a leg. Pitman's first penalty went straight down the middle.
Moments later, it was two. Again, Pitman scored from the spot, this time Jason Steele getting a hand to it, after Lewis Grabban's header was handled by Frazer Richardson.
Boro were on the ropes and could have gone three down had Steve Cook's effort from distance not whistled over the crossbar.
But the hosts dragged themselves back into the game on 19 minutes when Kamara, making his home debut, bundled home in a goalmouth scramble after Albert Adomah was felled by goalkeeper Ryan Allsop.
Boro's equaliser on 32 minutes had a huge slice of fortune – and a huge deflection when Carayol's effort came off Cook and looped into the top corner beyond the despairing arm of Allsop.
Rantie saw a shot deflected off George Friend two minutes before half-time but the teams went in at the interval on level terms.
Boro looked comfortable in the second half, and looked to have won it when Leadbitter slotted home from Kamara's pass, but Bournemouth grew back into the game and Elliot Ward's run was finished off inadvertently by Woodgate.
Moments later, Williams saw red for a foolish challenge on substitute Wes Thomas. Arguably, referee Salisbury should have awarded a penalty earlier in the game when Williams fouled the same player. This time, his luck ran out.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Boro worked hard to get the winner, with Kamara going close with a header which Allsop saved at the death.

Why ads?Vehicles with J.D. Power Quality Ratings
Bragging rights, thy name is the 2013 Ram. In the constant battle for power and hauling capability among heavy-duty trucks, the latest Ram is the new king of the hill with its class-leading 30,000-pound trailer capacity and monstrous 850 lb-ft of torque from its 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine. This newfound strength enables the Ram 3500 to easily surpass its heavy-duty rivals from Ford and General Motors, which aren't exactly lightweights. Even in entry form as the Ram 2500 fitted with a 5.7-liter gasoline engine, these heavy-duty trucks offer impressive hauling capability. A version that can run on gasoline or natural gas is also available. Like its competition, Ram HD trucks begin around $30,000 and are offered in a wide variety of trims and cab configurations.

Austin country sweetheart Willis dazzles on a duet of Kieran Kane's "In a Town This Size" and lends some angelic accompaniment on the country gospel standard "Rank Strangers to Me" to provide some vocal diversity. Musselwhite, who contributes several autobiographical songs to the mix, does more singing than playing, but he has no trouble blowing through the blues in the straight-ahead instrumental workout "I'll Meet You Over There." And, for all the Memphis emphasis of the album, the title actually comes from East L.A., courtesy of Musselwhite's upbeat rendition of Los Lobos' Americana gem "One Time One Night," that concludes the recording. --Michael Point
Musselwhite first came on the music scene in the 1960's in Chicago and like Paul Butterfield helped to redifine a rocknroll which would celebrate its blues music roots. Charlie always held onto the essence of the rural roots music rather than the more urban blues. Musselwhite ever retains the "good ole' boy" sound to his music and One Night in American is certainly a trip through the heartland. In the liner notes Musselwhite states that growing up in Memphis he was influenced by sounds of "blues, gospel and hillbilly on the radio." We can hear echoes of all these music forms on the cd. Charlie Musselwhite says that he has always rebelled against the tightly defined blues format and believes that music can be classified as blues more by the feeling than the format. Despite his laid back, pleasant style Charlie is able to deliver plenty of feeling on this cd.
One Night in America includes songs by blues greats as Ivory Joe Hunter and Jimmy Reed and country songs by Johnny Cash and Kieran Kane as well as Musselwhite originals. Through it all is the feeling of walking down Main Street at night in small town America and hearing the music drifting out of the small bars and restaurants.
Taken singly each song is a delight to hear but in combination they create a feeling and cohesiveness which is rare.

Couldn't love it more
By Danielle LI
from Long Island, NY
Photos of this dresser simply don't do it justice. I would use this furniture in my own bedroom. It's sophisticated and not juvenile...yet delicate enough to work nicely in a nursery. GREAT amount of storage and the quality is GREAT for the price. Don't think twice on this one - worth every penny.

This is Your Nation on White Privilege
For those who still can't grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.
- White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as black and Latino families with similar "challenges" are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.
- White privilege is when you can call yourself a "fuckin' redneck," like Bristol Palin's boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll "kick their fuckin' ass," and talk about how you like to "shoot shit" for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-law to be) rather than a thug.
- White privilege is when you can attend four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you basically failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, whereas a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college, and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.
- White privilege is when you can claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-sized colleges, and then Governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of the island of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don't all piss on themselves with laughter, while being a black U.S. Senator, two-term state Senator, and constitutional law scholar, means you're "untested."
- White privilege is being able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't added until the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.
- White privilege is being able to be a gun enthusiast and not make people immediately scared of you. White privilege is being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to secede from the Union, and whose motto was "Alaska first," and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people immediately think she's being disrespectful.
- White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do--like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor--and people think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college--you're somehow being mean, or even sexist.
- White privilege is being able to convince white women who don't even agree with you on any substantive issue to vote for you and your running mate anyway, because all of a sudden your presence on the ticket has inspired confidence in these same white women, and made them give your party a "second look."
- White privilege is being able to fire people who didn't support your political campaigns and not be accused of abusing your power or being a typical politician who engages in favoritism, while being black and merely knowing some folks from the old-line political machines in Chicago means you must be corrupt.
- White privilege is being able to attend churches over the years whose pastors say that people who voted for John Kerry or merely criticize George W. Bush are going to hell, and that the U.S. is an explicitly Christian nation and the job of Christians is to bring Christian theological principles into government, and who bring in speakers who say the conflict in the Middle East is God's punishment on Jews for rejecting Jesus, and everyone can still think you're just a good church-going Christian, but if you're black and friends with a black pastor who has noted (as have Colin Powell and the U.S. Department of Defense) that terrorist attacks are often the result of U.S. foreign policy and who talks about the history of racism and its effect on black people, you're an extremist who probably hates America.
- White privilege is not knowing what the Bush Doctrine is when asked by a reporter, and then people get angry at the reporter for asking you such a "trick question," while being black and merely refusing to give one-word answers to the queries of Bill O'Reilly means you're dodging the question, or trying to seem overly intellectual and nuanced.
- White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president, while being black and experiencing racism is, as Sarah Palin has referred to it a "light" burden.
- And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren't sure about that whole "change" thing. Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined, unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and certain.
White privilege is, in short, the problem.

Palin-my worst nightmareBy Michel, Teah at Sep 13, 2008 19:33 PM |
What a spot on article. I dread seeing Palin on the ticket. I was very anti-Hillary for a host of reasons, none of which had to do with her gender. I spent a lot of time defending my decision to not support her simply because she\'s female. Trust me, there is nothing more I would love to see than a female president, but the problem is that if she\'s not the right person for the job based on her politics then I\'m not going to vote for her. Just as democrats shouldn\'t automatically expect my vote simply because they are Democrats, females should not expect my vote simply because I\'m female.
Obama is no longer a better choice but that\'s probably another post.
Palin is far worse than Clinton in so many ways. You have framed why she can get away with this perfectly in this article. Any substantial criticism of her is going to be relegated to the sexist category. I\'m not a sexist, I\'m female for cryin out loud and Palin is a nightmare come true.
This article is merely the covering of judgmentalism about lifestyle and belief with a reverse accusation. Because the judged is white--Palin----and is "getting away" with something that the writer feels is "not appropriate," he is rationalizing that it is white privilege that allows her to get away with that which he deems as unacceptable. It is not that there is white privilege, but that there is liberal elitism that would only accept an African-American candidate who does not have the "baggage" that Sarah Palin has. There have been many African-Americans who could have been nominated by either party before now, but this elitism that requires membership in the northeastern educational system, and belief system would not allow it. It is not confined to Democrats or Republicans--it is the bias of the financially powerful. One reason that McCain was not nominated earlier--instead it brought us George Bush--he ahd the "right credentials" Is it right? No, but not because it is white privilege, but because it is snobbery.
Tim Wise has poorly stated the obvious.
First and foremost, many of the paragraphs in this article can be paraphrased to \"White priveledge is something that does not exist.\"
As an example, Tim claims, \"White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter.\"
That hasn\'t happened. Have some people insisted this? Sure. But since we\'ve all heard about the affair, those insistant \'some\' are clearly overpowered by those who disagree. That said, the first similie used to explain White Priveledge, is to a nonexistant phenomenon.
Tim Wise is accurate certainly that there are aspects of Sarah Palin that afford her priveledge in the matters mentioned. This is completely obvious. To argue that her priveledge stems solely from the color of her skin is purely ludicrious. In some cases it is ludicrous to argue that her color has any bearing on the issue at all.
\"And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president ... just because white voters aren\'t sure about that whole \"change\" thing.\"
To argue that white voters are the ones who would be solely responsible for McCain/Palin\'s election is obtuse at best. For starters, look at New England and the West Coast. Excluding California, these are states where white citizens represent the majority, and states which are slated to vote Obama in 2008. This runs contrary to the notion that this is a racial issues. It runs against the argument that whites are uniting to support a white candidate.
Secondly, to put all white Americans together as a single demographic fails to acknowledge that there are two distinct demographics within the white population of America: Hispanic Whites and non-Hispanic Whites.
These two demographics are different traditionally, culturally and racially. Their voting trends are also different. Why is this important? Simple.
The \"whites\" That Tim Wise refers to consistantly throughout his article are non-Hispanic whites, and non-Hispanic whites are *not* the majority of the population in some states slated to vote McCain. Texas is one example.
We can see from this that it is not only white votes that Obama has difficulty recruiting. Hispanic votes, too, are eluding him. It is not simply the white voting population that stands for Palin, or against Obama. If it were, we would see major \'Red\' states going \'Blue\'.
Hopefully that isn\'t news to Tim Wise.
Furthermore, even though Tim Wise has been accurate in many places of pointing out Palin\'s priveledge as an advantage, he is incorrect in citing it as the advantage here. The advantage Palin has here is that she is running on the Republican ticket.
Many, many poor and working Americans have voted and will continue to vote for Republican government that harms them. They vote for failed practices such as \"trickle-down economics\". They vote to put more money and power into the hands of the priveledged rich.
This is not because of whiteness. This is not because of priveledge. This is because of obtuse, near-sighted ignorance. Ignorance not terribly unlike that responsible for the inadequacies and innacuracies of this article.
All this said, I support Obama for president in 2008. McCain represents, as I have written, a continued of failed and/or deceitful economic practices. McCain represents war. McCain represents American poverty and America\'s foreign political failure.
It is disturbing to me that Sarah Palin is an appealing candidate to so many Americans. Whether on the basis of her stature, her culture, her age, her sex, her physical appeal or her color, it is disturbing. But I am not so foolish as to chalk this phenomenon up to her color alone.
To do so would be to ignore the greater portion of the problem. In so doing, I would be underestimating the hurdles that must be overcome before Palin becomes un-electable. In so doing, I would be hurting the chances we have of electing a better candidate to office in November.
This is my problem with Tim Wises article. In being so obtuse, so short sited and so sadly racist, it represents a detriment to the cause of electing Barack Obama. It represents a detriment to the very cause it seems to support.

P.S. One last nitpick: being female doesn\'t prevent you from being sexist against women, any more than being white prevents you from being racist against whites. I don\'t believe Leah Phillips to be a closet sexist, I\'m just pointing it out.
P.P.S. Long post, I know. Tried to proofread it, likely missed something.
I am watching cnn and seeing new voters excited about sarah palin but completely ignoring the facts revealed everyday from her abuse of power to outright lies on the campaign trail. all i can say is that white racism has come out in a new and modern way, simply blind to the decline of the great usa as we witness today.
For those of you who now understand what white privilege is, but can't seem to have the competing concept of black privilege, perhaps this list will help to.
- You're the beneficiary of government policies which specifically use a race as a deciding factor at the same time you decry the horrible impact of racism in America (which is nothing to joke about – it is horrible). The hypocrisy in such a statement isn't questioned because those white folk just don't seem to get how horrible it is to be hated for an immutable characteristic.
- You're the product of a political machine historically controlled by one of the most prominent Democratic families in America, but get to consistently usher in an era of "change we can believe in." Nobody questions the fact that the community and city in which you come from still has some of the most rampant government corruption and waste in America, much as it was before you came, and much as it was long after you left.
- You're able to realistically claim that you have more executive experience than a vice presidential candidate because you've been running for President for the last 18 months (according to the official reports), and de facto since the 2004 DNC keynote address. After all, running a campaign that spends hundreds of millions of dollars donated by the intrepid bastion of critical thought, Hollywood, is always more preparatory for public office than serving as an executive in a city and state government.
- You're able to claim that you're going to Washington to change the culture of bi-partisan bickering, but have one of the most liberal voting records compared to the other 99 men and women there, voted hundreds of times to merely be "present" when in a position of trust in your home state's senate, and have direct fundraising ties to slum lords like Tony Rezko. I doubt that anyone will bring up the fact that you never once challenged the corruption of Democratic circles and patronage in the City of Chicago. Nor do I believe anyone will acknowledge the role your opponent\'s ticket-mate may have played in battling the corruption in her own party.
- You're able to speak about the clouds opening up and granting everyone the epiphany they need to realize that voting for you is Godly and holy, but a vice presidential candidate that says students and teachers should have the academic freedom to question evolutionary facts and discussions in class is somehow a religious zealot.
- You're able to claim that you want to end the ways of a wasteful government, but compared to your opponent – who doesn't request special pet projects in the federal budget – you've made an attempt to bilk American taxpayers for hundreds of millions of dollars to consolidate your political position.
- And finally, of course, you can realistically talk about race and politics and be given credibility simply because you're someone who's not white and can speak very well. However, individuals (white individuals – I should be specific) who question your assumptions about race and politics, and offer alternatives that they feel are better at bridging the gap between racial disagreements, are labeled as racist. No discussion. No attempt at understanding. Just, racist.
…the fact remains, Mr. Wise, that this isn't a diatribe about the role that race plays in this campaign – it's a slanderous, speculative hit piece on presidential and vice presidential candidates that you fear. You undoubtedly are aware of Palin's role in the campaign, and the star power that she – as a young, vibrant public figure like Barack Obama – has in front of the American public, a star power that previously had been monopolized by Barack Obama. Additionally, you can't deny the important steps McCain has taken in standing up for what he thinks is right, so you play spin like Rove to try and paint McCain as a Bush lackey in a feeble attempt to make this election a referendum on Bush instead of a progressive attempt to improve our country.
You try and create this dissonance in your supportive reader's (yes – I placed that apostrophe where I did for a reason) mind that says you either vote Barack Obama and stand up for humanity or vote for John McCain and become a despicable human being…
…buck up though, buddy. You'll have four more years to sit and stew over a Republican administration, and write another article on sexism when Madame Clinton is the candidate in 2012.
Show us some deeds!!! We have some problems with Obama quoting us Bible verses about caring for the least of them, when he feels that the need to support a woman\'s choice to kill her own offspring in the womb is more important than that very offspring, even if the child makes it out of the womb before it is destroyed. (And why is it that we women are supposed to see this --the opportunity to abort-- as our primary political interest? The Bible calls children a reward, yet we are supposed to rally around the right to dispose of inconvenient ones? And I have personally seen many \"inconvenient\" babies become blessings.) He called on his followers to take care of their brothers, but ignores his own. And how are we to view a man who\'s so verbally passionate about helping the least of them when he gives away only a pittance of his own money to charities? Is he only interested in giving away OUR money? John and Cindy McCain put him to shame. Margaret Thatcher once said that the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people\'s money to give away. Integrity issues: Todd Palin quit his job when his wife became governor in order to avoid a conflict of interest situation. Michelle Obama keeps her hospital job, where her salary balloons, and her husband delivers a million dollars to the hospital after he is elected a Senator. It\'s nice to see people helping each other!
I think you should continue to explain \"Obama is no longer a better choice...\". I disagree.
I think you should continue to explain \"Obama is no longer a better choice...\". I disagree.
This article could not be more on point. I think as Americans we believe our own deceptions that life here for minorities has gotten better, whatever. I think it will be a cold day in hell should Obama win, I think Americans will endure and suffer another 4 years before the see a minority a black man in the white house.
OK, so white privilege beats black privilege, but I think it's a bit rich (get it) to go on about white privilege when the vast majority of white people are far less privileged than Obama.
To outsiders, white privilege is a strange American concept that looks like it is designed to avoid talking about wealth and power. I don't deny its existence, but I believe any progressives expecting more than cosmetic changes from Obama will be rather disappointed - and that in itself shows the root of power lies in money, not social categories

One in seven Americans are on food stamps -- separate but that's not stopping the government from trying to ramp up participation in the program.
The newest suggestion to throw up food stamps party the USDA offers the following advice for local offices to help boost enrollment.
Throw a great party -- social events where people mix and mingle make upon by having activities -- food entertainment.
This is sort of ridiculous -- -- disagree with me democratic strategist -- -- Thanks for coming on to disagree with me here in person absolutely so.
Yeah think that strikes me about this is the number of people who have signed up for food stamps has tripled in the past decades -- seems like it need encouragement that there's lots of people signing up.
There are lots of people signing up and we know the reasons because of the recession and also because the food stamp program was used as a part of the Recovery Act.
But at the end of the day we don't have a 100%.
We won't -- participation.
We want -- 100% participation for low income families military families.
Families with children.
Families with senior you know we're not there I mean the numbers have gone because first forty that is -- all the stats prove that we're not there the Congressional Budget Office the national science institute.
Everyone who looks at this program we know -- around 72% and the reality as.
We -- the richest nation in the -- in the world we cannot have children going hungry.
Nobody will not become a hot air -- -- going bigger hunger counseling right about that but it feels like we're getting to a point we have more people in the cart -- pulling the cart so by encouraging more and more and more people to go on food stamps we're gonna eventually run out of money.
Not at absolutely because what is gonna happen as we come out of the recession.
The food stamp numbers are going to come back down to that percentage they were before the recession the percentage of the GDP.
We're in -- special place right now where the numbers of households that were eligible increased in the participation rates have increased but again we're not at a 100%.
We have a -- in -- taxes that.
Is you know I'm so broke I can't pay attention this is really serious how long children learn how can they.
-- -- really become a part of the economic engine in this country.
If they are going.
Finally our children and these -- going these parties hey here's a series find out they're spending three million dollars on the S ads.
-- want to spend three million dollars on food I'm.
The reality is that the government has been spending dollars to promote certain programs.
Since way back to 1792.
So yet seems like it's a high number.
Three million on you know parties -- it's not like you know they're celebrating because people are hungry.
What they're doing is trying to innovate.
And show different creative ways to really promote to the families -- of the neediest to promote that this program is is accessible to them.
Without it then we won't see the type of participation rates that are necessary problem.
-- the gap that money that goes into these ads the money that goes into food stamps doesn't come out of thin air.
It comes from taxpayer dollars taxpayers would be spending this on something else maybe food for their own families may be close -- their own -- -- -- maybe they'd -- stimulating the economy so there would be more jobs out there -- people that are receiving food -- Could go out and work in feed their own failing in their I would feel good about themselves salt.
You bring up stimulating the economy actually if -- talked to any economist they will say.
That the snap program food stamps are one of the best economic stimulant sweet.
Have the money doesn't matter if -- error I mean it's not -- saying it stimulates the economy but it's not it and many came from somewhere else it would have been spent on something else for every dollar of the food stamp program at any it's every dollar and 72 cents goes back into the local economy.
This is a big.
Part of helping and supporting local content economies that are suffering in the recession.
Yes it's not ideal to have families living in poverty not able to you know provide for -- food on the table.
But at the end of the day when you have a food stamp program.
That not only helps feed people but also stimulates economy it's a win win situation -- stamp party would you it's a win win situation.
Would you -- food stamp party.
I think the government has to do everything -- -- to be innovative to be creative.
To use the dollars that have been appropriated.
To make sure that we have the highest participation rates possible.
In this program USDA -- provide us with a statement congress allocates funds to the USDA with a mandate to connect public education about the benefits of -- and how it applies to help reduce hunger in America the agency begin airing radio ads in 2004 more so you know before the recession more recently developed a community.
Tool -- to help organizations engaged with elderly people who might be eligible I don't know goes on and on I'm not sure that the statement says anything.
The money is there.
We want the government to be as innovative and as creative as possible and we don't know we -- -- we can't ineligible for this program as productive as possible we want them to be as conservative as possible we want -- to use our tax dollars well I mean we're looking at Solyndra.
We're looking BI Chris coming after us for healthcare now that's having ads to try get more people on food stick cymbal and does that and.
But using our tax dollars smartly.
This is where economists say that pisses -- One of the best ways to stimulate the economy better than taxes better than other spending programs -- so this in a sense is innovation.
Is -- productivity on the government's behalf -- guess what.
Children are going to go hungry military families are gonna go hungry and -- -- wants aren't gonna go.
Well this is all background -- you heard it here all right thanks for coming on -- appreciated.

Traveling off the I-90 to the Eden-Angola Exit 57A which is a beautiful ride, but when you get off at the Eden Angola Exit at 57 A and enter the Eden-Evans Center Rd. heading west for 4 miles to Route 5 in the Town of Evans, you are dodging potholes, erosion, sunken pavement constantly, non-stop all the way to Rte 5. Seeing is believing. I took a lot of photos of this highway and was disgusted to see what deplorable condition this road is in. It's completely eroding away. It shows not only the conditions that mother nature bestowed upon us from this icy-cold winter, but for this to happen it only points out the fact that poor road construction and engineering were involved in the contruction of this highway. Where are our county tax dollars going? This is the second year with this road in this terrible condition and it's ten times worse now. You have to drive on the shoulder of the road to avoid the road conditions and I have seen tractor trailors driving on the shoulder of the road or swerve into the other lane, which is just as bad. Maybe somebody should take Gov. Cuomo down this road and show him that we need this road repaired, before something happens. Filling the potholes isn't going to fix this
problem -- it's the whole road. Something has to be done. You can drive on the major highways in Canada and not have to deal with the roads falling apart like this and not a bump in the road. They last for years. Maybe our DOT needs to send their highway engineers up there and find out what they are doing when constructing their highways and what we need to do to keep our highways from deteriorating. We'd be saving tax dollars and not throwing them out the window. If you need to get off at this exit -- drive very carefully or get off at the exit before or after 57A.

In DiscipleShift, Jim Putman, Bobby Harrington, and Robert Coleman walk readers through five key "shifts" that any church can and must make to refocus on the biblical mission of making disciples. When church leaders consciously make discipleship their church's core mission, they attract the unchurched by empowering believers to become salt and light in their communities.
Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An "attractional" model will seek to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more "missional" approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship.
Making disciples---helping people to trust and follow Jesus---is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationship with non-believers.
DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities.

The real face of Facebook might be younger than you thought a lot younger!
A Consumer Reports survey found that seven and a half million Facebook users were younger than 13.
Of those, five million were younger than ten.
That violates Facebook's own age policy, which requires users to be at least 13-years-old.
The survey also shows that most parents seemed unconcerned with their children's accounts.

Minorca's strategic geographical location has been the reason for her many occupations. We don't know who the first inhabitants of the Bronze Age were or where they came from, but their culture known as Pretalayotic, is similar to that of their contemporise from Majorca, Languedoc and Sardinia. Around the year 1600 B.C mysterious megalithic constructions were erected ("navetas", "taulas", and "talayots") and settlements were surrounded by walls made of huge stone slabs.
After 450 B.C., the Greeks, the Punics, the Iberians- left their foot prints on the island, as Minorca was soon to become an important geographical stop for the sea travel and trade routes.
In the year 123 B.C the Romans arrived followed by the Vandals and the Byzantines. We know, thanks to the writings of the Bishop Severo in the year 417 that Christianity was at this time imposed on the island. The 6th century witnessed the building of Paleochristian churches in areas always close to the coast.
After some sporadic raids, the Muslims set foot on the island in the year 903, until 1287 when Alfonso 3rd King of Aragón regained the island. The island territories were inhabited by people mainly from Catalonia who introduced the Catalan language and culture.
During the 16th century Minorca suffered terrible attacks from the Ottoman fleets who destroyed the port towns of Maó (1535) and Ciutadella (1558);
Due to Spains involvement in the War of Succession, Minorca was handed over to the British by the Utrecht Treaty (1712).
The 18th century is marked for the conquering between the British, French and Spanish, until 1802, when, by the Amiens Treaty, the island is finally returned to the Spanish Sovereignty.
The influences from these occupations have marked the Minorcan character, customs, landscape, traditions and more so it has left an important cultural patrimony.
In chronological order, these are the most outstanding dates of Minorca's history:
3000-1600 B.C: Pretalayotic era( megalithic sepulchres and "naveta" chambers)
1600-123 B.C: Talayotic culture (burial "navetas", talayots, "taulas" and stone wall settlements)
450 B.C: Punic, Greek and Iberian influences.
205 B.C: General Magón (Hannibal's brother) baptises the main town as Maò
123 B.C: Romans conquer and Minorca is turned into part of the Hispania Citerior Province.
417: Bishop Severo's writings.
454-484: The reign of the Vandals.
534: The Byzantine Empire; Paleochristian churches are built.
707-902: Sporadic raids by Muslims.
903: Muslim conquering; Minorca forms part of the Cordoba Caliphate.
1287: The conquering by Alfonso 3rd King of Aragón and Catalonia.
1343-1515: Walls and defence turrets are built under the Crown of Aragón.
1535: Red beard, the pirate plunders Maó.
1554: The beginning of the works on San Felipe Castle.
1558: Ciutadella is attacked by the Turks.
1706-1712: War of Succession and the Treaty of Utrecht; Minorca is handed over to the British.
1722: Maó is proclaimed capital of the island under the rule of the Governor Kane.
1756-1763: French conquering lead by the Duke Richelieu.
1763-1781: Second British dominion.
1782-1798: The Duke of Crillón recovers the island for Spain.
1798-1802: Third and last British dominion.1802: Amiens Treaty; Minorca is returned to the Spanish Crown.
1840: The beginning of the works on La Mola fortress.
1886: The first shoe factories open up in Ciutadella.
1892: The first electrical Balearic power station starts working in Maó.
1898: The Cuba crisis interrupts the shoe export trade.
1936: Minorca remains republican during the Spanish Civil War.
1953: The arrival of the first charter flight from London. It marks the start of commercial tourism..
1983: Autonomic Statutes of the Balearic Islands.
1986: The Linguistic standardization law is approved.
1991: Law for the protection of Natural Spaces of Special Interest (A.N.E.I.)
1993: Minorca is declared a Biosphere reserve by the U.N.E.S.C.O.
1996: Approval of the new Insular Territorial Plan.

Nikolai Petrovich RezanovRezanov, Nikolai Petrovich (nyĭkəlĪˈ pētrôˈvîch ryĕzäˈnəf) [key], 1764–1807, Russian trader, an official of the Russian American Company. He headed an expedition to Alaska in 1803. There he found (1805) the settlement at Sitka in desperate need of food and decided to go to California to obtain supplies. He reached (1806) what is today San Francisco and succeeded in his mission partly because of a romantic attachment to Doña Concepción, daughter of the commandant, José Darío Argüello. He took the supplies to Sitka but died on his return trip to Russia. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright © 2012, Columbia University Press. All rights reserved.

Loveseat 60L x 42W x 40H Beige 3-ply
Our CoverMates Select Sofa and Loveseat covers make it easy to protect your sofas and loveseats from rain, snow, sun, dirt and other elements at an affordable price.
Our Select Covers are made from a 3-layer non-woven material that is thick and soft. The outside layers are PVC-free and solution-dyed, allowing for superior fade resistance. They are treated to protect against the sun's UV rays, while the middle layer is composed of a water-resistant film that prevents moisture from getting through to your loveseat. Small amounts of moisture and condensation can get through any cover, but the highly breathable nature of this material lets it evaporate, preventing mold and mildew.
You'll find that our Select 3-ply Sofa or Loveseat Covers are made of superior material and construction than similar nonwoven covers on the marketplace. Thick and soft yet lightweight, the covers are a breeze to put on and take off. Four extra-long straps on the bottom of the cover can be tied to the sofa or loveseat legs to keep the cover firmly in place. An auto-locking drawcord system lets you cinch the cover as tightly as needed. Discreetly-located Velcro closures are designed to help keep your drawstring cords from dragging along the ground and getting dirty. See our measuring guide for helpful tips on finding the right size.

Here's how RW members rated this race (62 votes).
In short: A course that can make grown men cry - but having done it you can only smile!In full: Thank you Portsmouth Joggers! It is an amazing course in testing conditions - but what a rite of passage type race it is! Well done.Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: Mud. Lots and lots and sticky mudIn full: My 5th time running this event and whilst the conditions are no where near the worst in terms of weather and water on the course, the mud seemed to be the perfect consistency for sliding sideways and sticking to your shoe. There was one stretch what went on for about 4 miles nearly having me in tears. The new Hill at mile 15 was hideous; I had to use the fence to drag myself up.Having said all that, its still my favourite race. I didn't enjoy this outing but I will be back next year. I huge thanks to everyone involved. And a big thanks to the girls in pink at mile 7. You made a lot of people smile. I could still hear you echoing across the valley at mile 9.Date of review: February 27, 2011

September 20, 2011 Pucks From The Past Winnipeg Vs. Toronto In The Case Of Early Hockey
by Iain Fyffe
In the early years of the Stanley Cup, its championships were decided on a challenge basis. The champion of the league in which the previous season's champion played would become the current season's Stanley Cup champion. At the end of the season, the champions of other league could issue challenges to the Stanley Cup champion. The Stanley Cup trustees would then arrange for the challenge series, sometimes a single game, sometimes a two-game total-goals series, and sometimes a best-of-three. This system persisted until 1914, when the Stanley Cup series became an annual series between the eastern and western professional champs.
In the challenge years, the perennial favorites were the champions of the main eastern league, known originally as the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (AHAC), then the Canadian Amateur Hockey League (CAHL), and then the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association (ECAHA). Indeed, most often the champions of these leagues would defend their title against the challengers. These leagues were made up of several teams based in Montreal, joined by Ottawa and Quebec City.
The most frequent challengers for the Cup came from the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA), a league dominated by teams in Toronto and Kingston, and the Manitoba leagues, chronologically the Manitoba and Northwest Hockey Association (MNWHA), Western Canada Hockey Association (WCHA), and finally, the Manitoba Hockey League (MHL). The OHA champions challenged for the Cup five times between 1894 and 1907, while the Manitoba champions challenged almost annually, playing Cup challenges in 10 seasons during those years. Although both the OHA champs and the Winnipegers made frequent appearances in Stanley Cup challenges, there is one very important difference between the two. OHA representatives were zero-for-five on their challenges, being outscored 66-28 in eight games, all losses. On the other hand, the Winnipeg Victorias won the Stanley Cup in 1896 (in their first attempt) and in 1901. They also came very close to winning on other occasions, being outscored by a single goal in both 1897 and 1900.
I thought this disparity was interesting in the context of comparing the development of senior-level hockey in Winnipeg and Toronto. Neither of these cities had organized teams when the AHAC came into being in 1887. Toronto's first organized senior matches were in 1890, when the Victorias, St.George's, and Granites clubs played some exhibition matches. These clubs would join two new Toronto teams (Osgoode Hall and the New Forts, a military side) in the senior section of the newly-formed OHA the following season. This same season, 1891, is when we have the first organized games in Winnipeg being played between the Victorias and Winnipeg HC. The following season, they would form the MNWHA, also joined by a military team known as the Rifles.
So when the Winnipeg Victorias challenged for and won the Stanley Cup over the powerhouse Montreal Victorias in 1896, they had been playing organized hockey for only six years. It took them only that long to become one of the very best hockey teams in the country. Meanwhile, a Toronto team didn't even challenge for the Cup until 1902; the first two OHA challenges were by the Queen's University club, from Kingston. Indeed, in the first nine seasons of OHA senior play, a Toronto team won the championship only twice. Toronto had a one-year headstart on Winnipeg, and had five times the population of the western city in 1901. Here is some approximate population data for a variety of major Canadian cities in the early years of hockey:
Approximate populations during the early years City 1891 1901 1911 1921 Montreal 308,000 393,000 594,000 774,000 Toronto 181,000 208,000 376,000 521,000 Quebec City 63,000 68,000 78,000 95,000 Ottawa 44,000 101,000 123,000 152,000 Winnipeg 25,000 42,000 136,000 179,000 Vancouver 13,000 26,000 100,000 117,000
One would think that the larger city would have an advantage in developing hockey players and teams, and yet from this time period, names such as Dan Bain, Whitey Merritt, and the Flett brothers of the Winnipeg Vics are pretty well known, while no one's ever heard of John Shanklin, Joseph Walker, or James Smellie, some early OHA stars.
Now, perhaps it's somewhat unfair to these OHA players that we don't know much of them. Smellie and Walker both scored at least 31 goals in 1893, when the OHA played an ambitious (for the time) 12-game schedule with seven senior teams in Toronto. Shanklin scored at least 41 goals that season, by my count. And count them I did, since no one else seems to have done it before. We probably should know more about these players than we do. Specific information from the early OHA is difficult to come by; the league usually only exists as a footnote in history. But still, it's clear that the development of hockey in Winnipeg was substantially faster than in Toronto, despite the latter city's advantage in numbers.
Part of the disparity is surely due to social factors. There was an extremely strong sporting ethic in Winnipeg at that time. Newspapers were filled with reports of skating, snowshoeing and curling results, and the "manliness" of sport (as they called it at the time) was held in high regard in this cold frontier, the last bastion of civilization going west until the distant shores of British Columbia. Canada's prairie provinces at this time were not yet organized and fully populated; until 1905, Alberta and Saskatchewan did not exist as such, both still being part of the Northwest Territories.
But I think there was more than attitude and social mores at play. Notice that I referred to Winnipeg as the "cold" frontier. In the winter months, Winnipeg is bitterly cold. Indeed, according to Environment Canada, it is the coldest city (with a population in excess of 600,000) in the entire world. Due to its humid continental climate, Winnipeg sees very large swings in its temperature through the year: it's quite warm in summer, and extremely cold in winter. The reasons for this are quite fascinating, but it's not really on-topic. Here is a good place to start looking, if you're interested.
Why does this matter? It's quite simple: at the time, ice hockey in Canada was completely dependent on Mother Nature for its playing surfaces. There were no artificial ice rinks at all in Canada until 1911, when the Patrick brothers built several to allow their British Columbia-based Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) to begin play. The first such rink appeared in the east in Toronto in 1912, and they were still rare by 1920.
Clearly, players from areas with colder winters had the advantage of more time on the ice each winter. Toronto is one of the southernmost cities in Canada, and its proximity to Lake Ontario serves to moderate its climate. Have a gander at some temperature numbers, adapted from Environment Canada historical data. This table shows the average temperature in the main hockey months, from 1971 to the present, for a selection of locales important to early Canadian hockey, ranked from coldest to warmest. These are, of course, in Celsius. Also included is approximate latitude and longitude, in case you're not familiar with the location of some of these cities.
Varying climates of Canadian cities City Province Lat (N) Long (W) Dec Jan Feb Mar Winnipeg Manitoba 49 97 -14 -18 -13 -6 Kenora Ontario 49 94 -14 -17 -13 -6 Saskatoon Saskatchewan 52 106 -14 -16 -12 -5 Regina Saskatchewan 50 104 -13 -16 -12 -5 Thunder Bay Ontario 48 89 -11 -15 -12 -5 Quebec City Quebec 46 71 -9 -12 -11 -4 Edmonton Alberta 53 113 -9 -12 -8 -2 Sault Ste Marie Ontario 46 84 -6 -10 -9 -4 Montreal Quebec 45 73 -7 -10 -9 -2 Ottawa Ontario 45 75 -7 -10 -9 -2 Calgary Alberta 51 114 -7 -9 -6 -2 Moncton New Brunswick 46 64 -5 -8 -7 -2 Kingston Ontario 44 76 -4 -8 -7 -2 Rossland British Columbia 49 117 -5 -6 -3 1 Halifax Nova Scotia 44 63 -1 -4 -4 0 Toronto Ontario 43 79 -1 -4 -3 1 Vancouver British Columbia 49 123 4 4 5 6
Brrr. I live in Fredericton, New Brunswick, which is a degree or two colder than nearby Moncton, and let me tell you it's plenty cold here in the winter. And Winnipeg is eight degrees colder on average. No wonder there was so much sport going on in Canada's Gateway to the West; they had to keep warm somehow. For you Farenheities, -18 Celsius translates to zero of your strange degrees.
It seems to me that the great disparity in winter temperature between Winnipeg and Toronto (up to 14 degrees Celsius) provided a large advantage to players in the former city in the early days of hockey. Toronto teams were restricted by frequently soft ice, while in Manitoba, such a problem was almost unheard of. There was solid ice all winter, allowing the players much more time to develop their game.
The number two locale on the list is interesting. Kenora (formerly Rat Portage) remains the smallest community to have ever won the Stanley Cup, in 1907. The champion Thistles relied on a core of players who grew up playing the game together, largely on the Lake of the Woods, one presumes. They too benefitted from the consistent cold temperatures; Kenora is only marginally warmer than Winnipeg in the winter.
Further analysis of the early development of hockey using demographic and environmental data can be done, and surely will be done, if anyone out there is actually interested.
