First and most importantly, we’d like to send a big thank-you to everyone who supported CKUT during our 2014 Funding Drive. We’re pushing $40,000 and the pledges keep rolling in… If you haven’t donated, it’s not too late! You can pledge online and still be entered into the draw for our killer grand prizes.

Now that our funding drive has come to a close, we want to thank those that pledged to both NEW SHIT and CKUT! We’ve been able to rock the airwaves for 25 years due to the generosity, support and involvement of so many communities over the years.

Also, do you dream of making playlists, talking with bands and going to shows? Then it’s about time you visited the Music Department. Whether you want to be behind the mic or behind the scenes, emails us to join the team!

Creature brings the beat to Saint John

Canada has been a hotbed for music in the past 40 years having produced jazz greats like Oscar Peterson through indie-rock heroes Eric’s Trip and Arcade Fire to classic rock like The Guess Who.

Click to Enlarge

One genre that the country hasn’t been so quick to beat our respective chests over, however, is that of dance music. But with any luck, Montreal band Creature will lead the future charge of Canadian dance music.

Formed in Montreal in 2004, the members of the band knew one another from various other groups within that scene but hadn’t actually made music together.

“We ran into one another at a party and started discussing our influences. We were all into bands like The Cure, Joy Division and New Order and figured we should try practicing to see where it leads,” Creature keyboardist and vocalist Cowbella explains. “And even though we had all played in so many other bands, each of us was immediately comfortable within the confines of Creature.”

And though bands such as Creature and the Scissor Sisters are starting to make inroads in North America, Cowbella admits that they have been accepted with open arms in Europe and in France specifically.

“We’ve had great shows in Montreal and Toronto but when you get outside those major metro areas, crowds are a lot more reserved and slower to get into the show. We can usually get the crowd up and dancing by song seven in our live show but at that point, we’ve only got a few songs left to play!”

Indeed, Europeans seem a little more free-spirited and embracing of different styles of music, something Cowbella agrees with:

“The major difference is that dance music is really big throughout France. It is seen as an art where here it is considered to be more of a pastime. I think it’s the same with hip-hop.

“It seems as though the audiences in France can appreciate the musical layering and how the instruments interact with each other.”

Earlier this spring, Creature had the opportunity to bring their music to China, playing Beijing and Shanghai as well as other cities over the course of three weeks. And even though the language barrier proved to be challenging to the band, music is a universal language which the Chinese understood loud and clear.

“The crowds were very enthusiastic,” Cowbella recalls. “It is such a different environment to be immersed in though.

“There was so much raw energy there; people drinking out on the streets and just ready to play hard in general.

“It is an interesting cultural mix though. Musically, the Chinese heard Jay Z at the same time that they heard The Clash and Nirvana for the first time so you see and hear a lot of diversity in the music being made by these new Chinese punk-oriented bands.”

So if you’ve got a pair of dancing shoes that you’re aching to break in, bring yourself down to The Blue Olive in Saint John where Creature will be performing on Friday July 31. On the web:

The Bosphorus

A stay in İstanbul is not complete without a traditional and unforgettable boat excursion up the Bosphorus, that winding strait that separates Europe and Asia. Its shores offer a delightful mixture of past and present, grand splendor and simple beauty. Modern hotels stand next to yalı (shore-front wooden villas), marble palaces abut rustic stone fortresses, and elegant compounds neighbor small fishing villages. The best way to see the Bosphorus is to board one of the passenger boats that regularly zigzag along the shores. You embark at Eminönü and stop alternately on the Asian and European sides of the strait. The round-trip excursion, very reasonably priced, takes about six hours. If you wish a private voyage, there are agencies that specialize in organizing day or night mini-cruises.

During the journey you pass the magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace; farther along rise the green parks and imperial pavilions of the Yıldız Palace. On the coastal edge of the parks stands the Çırağan Palace, refurbished in 1874 by Sultan Abdülaziz, and now restored as a grand hotel. For 300 meters along the Bosphorus shore its ornate marble facades reflect the swiftly moving water. At Ortaköy, the next stop, artists gather every Sunday to exhibit their works in a streetside gallery. The variety of people creates a lively scene. Sample a tasty morsel from one of the street vendors. In Ortaköy, there is a church, a mosque and a synagogue that have existed side by side for hundreds of years - a tribute to Turkish tolerance at the grass roots level. Overshadowing İstanbul's traditional architecture is one of the world's largest suspension bridges, the Bosphorus Bridge, linking Europe and Asia.

The beautiful Beylerbeyi Palace lies just past the bridge on the Asian side. Behind the palace rises Çamlıca Hill, the highest point in İstanbul. You can also drive here to admire a magnificent panorama of İstanbul as well as the beautiful landscaped gardens. On the opposite shore, the wooden Ottoman villas of Arnavutköy create a contrast with the luxurious modern apartments of neighboring Bebek. A few kilometers farther along stand the fortresses of Rumeli Hisarı and Anadolu Hisarı facing each other across the straits like sentries guarding the city. The Göksu Palace, sometimes known as Kücüksü Palace graces the Asian shore next to the Anadolu Hisarı. The second link between the two continents, is the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge straddles the waterway just past these two fortresses.

From Duatepe Hill, on the European side, you can admire the magnificent panorama of the bridge and the Bosphorus. Below Duatepe, the beautiful Emirgan Park bursts with color when its tulips bloom in the spring. On the Asian shore is Kanlıca, a fishing village that is now a favored suburb for wealthy İstanbulites. Crowds gather in the restaurants and cafes along its shores to sample its famous yogurt. Shortly after Kanlıca and Çubuklu is the Beykoz Korusu (İbrahim Paşa Woods), a popular retreat. In the cafes and restaurants there you can enjoy the delightful scenery and clear, fresh air. Back on the European side, at Tarabya Bay, yachts seem to dance at their moorings. The coastal road bustles with taverns and fish restaurants from Tarabya to the charming suburbs of Sarıyer and Büyükdere. Sarıyer has one of the largest fish markets in İstanbul and is also famous for its delicious varieties of milk puddings and börek (pastries). On past Sarıyer, the narrow strait widens and opens into the Black Sea.

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's real name isn't Fergie -- it's actually Stacy Ann Ferguson, but she's filed paperwork to legally change it to Fergie Duhamel.

That would mean she's not only adopting her nickname as her legal first name, but also taking husband Josh Duhamel's surname.

The documents filed in L.A. state she wants to change her name to "conform to the first name which she is commonly and professionally known as, and has been for many years."

The pregnant pop star's next step in making this legal is to publish a notice in the local newspaper for the month preceding her hearing on August 16. (We guess renting a billboard isn't in compliance with the law.)

Hey, if Metta World Peace got his chosen name, why shouldn't she?

    Yes you should spray it. That shit is too thin to try to wipe/paint it on
    and you should also sand between coats to get the smoothest finish. But,
    all this advise is worthless because you post the videos months after you
    do the work. Instead of asking your viewers for advise in advance, we get
    to listen to you whine about how you do things the hard way!

    Just and FYI

    Better use a brush and after dipping it in the varnish wipe most of it off
    on the edge of the can! Use a wide brush of 4 inches!!! I am shure it will
    dripp a lot less!!! You have to maintain calm and sand it lightly in
    between coats! And yess…it needs at least 4 coatings! You can use a
    sealingoil first so the wood doesn’t absorbe so much varnish! But I think
    it will be worth the trouble and the two-colordesign will look great after
    you have finished the entire loft! Animo you canadian gringo! :-)

Outdoor Table Plans

Ovidiu 1 FavoriteLoadingAdd to favorites List YOUR FAVORITES GapDice RANDOM PLAN

This free woodworking project is about outdoor table plans. Building a table doesn’t have to be a complex or an expensive job, if you choose the plans and the design of the table with good judgement. In addition, you have to buy quality lumber, designed for outdoor use, such as redwood, cedar, pine or pressure treated, if you want to make a durable table with a pleasant appearance. Apart for these considerations, you should also take into account that you need to use common household tools: a drill machinery with drill bits, a miter saw, a router and basic carpentry tools.

You could make the joints in several ways, according to your needs and available tools. On one hand, a professional way to make the joints would be to drill pocket holes with a special jig and to insert the appropriate screws. In this manner, the wood joint would be rigid and you don’t need to conceal them by filling the hole with wood putty. On the other hand, a straight-forward technique would be to drill holes trough the components, to countersink the holes and to insert the screws. This techniques requires to fill the holes with putty and to smooth the surface with sandpaper, in order to obtain a comparable result with the pocket-hole method.

Projects made from these plans

  • A – 4 pieces of 4×4 lumber 30” long WOODEN LEGS
  • B – 2 pieces of 2×6 lumber 26 1/2” long CROSSPIECES
  • C – 8 pieces of 4 1/2” wood screws WOOD SCREWS

Building an outdoor table is a fun project and a perfect opportunity to learn new carpentry skills or to impress your family or friends. In addition, if you choose the right plans for your needs and buy quality materials, you could save a significant amount of money by getting the job done by yourself. The wooden components should fit perfectly one with another, the legs should be plumb and the top of the table has to be level.

Top Tip: As compared to other woodworking projects, building a dinning table is pretty much a straight-forward job, but you still have to pay attention to details and work with good judgement. Use a router to round the edges of the 2×2 trims, otherwise you might easily injure yourself.

Outdoor Table Plans

Outdoor table posts plans

Outdoor table legs plans

First of all, you have to build the legs of the outdoor table from 4×4 lumber. In order to obtain accurate cuts, we recommend you to use a miter saw with a sharp blade. In addition, build the crosspieces from 2×6 lumber and use a jigsaw to give them an exquisite appearance (optional).

Top Tip: Smooth the cut edges with a sand block and drill pilot holes before inserting the screws, to prevent the wood from splitting.

Installing the table stretcher

Installing the table stretcher

Next, you have to joint the two sides of the table (the front and the back components), by installing the stretcher. Therefore, use 2×4 lumber and adjust it size according to your needs (in our case 45”).

There are many ways in which you can set the stretcher into place, such as using a pocket hole jig or drilling pilot holes and inserting the screws trough the crosspieces. Irrespective of the choice, countersink the head of the screws, for as neat appearance.

Table aprons plans

Table aprons plans

Continue the woodworking project by installing the wooden aprons to the legs of the outdoor table as in the free plans. Pre-drill holes, otherwise the wood might split. This step is utterly important, therefore ask someone to hold the components into place while inserting the 3” screws.

Plumb the legs before attaching the aprons and check the corners for squareness. Ensure the top of the table describes a level surface.

Attaching the top of the table

Attaching the top of the table

Once the frame of the table is ready, install the 2×6 slats into place and secure them with 3” screws. Make sure the slats are equally spaced and aligned at both ends, by placing a nail or a wood piece between them. Next, attach the trims to the edges of the table, by using finishing nails.

Top Tip: Don’t forget to countersink the head of the screws, otherwise it would be impossible to conceal them, by filling the holes with wood putty.

Last but not least, apply wood filler in the screw holes and leave it for several hours to harden (read the manufacturer’s instructions). Next, smooth the wooden surface with average-grit sandpaper and remove the residues with a dry cloth.

Top Tip: Apply several coats of paint or varnish, to protect the table from wood decay or water damage. Use a respiratory mask while applying the varnish in a well-ventilated area.

Raleigh SEO Services: What To Look For In A Provider

So you have found out that a fellow business owner or worse, a rival you are competing with, has gotten Raleigh SEO services to help his or her website rank better in searches, and you want to do the same for your site.

The problem is, since you are new to this, you do not know what to look for in a Raleigh SEO services provider. Do not panic. Everyone starts from somewhere and here are a few things to look for when choosing the most suited Raleigh SEO services provider for your business.

Raleigh SEO services provider Roger Ely of My Social Media Matters

Raleigh SEO services provider Roger Ely of My Social Media Matters

The first thing you need to look for is someone who has experience in the field. A simple search on the web will give you an idea of people or companies offering Raleigh SEO services. Those ranked at the top of the search are probably the best places to start looking since after all, they offer SEO services and they beat their fellow SEO services provider and got their sites ranked first in search results for your area.

However, this is not to say that those at a lower rank may not be better.

This is where talking to prospective Raleigh SEO services firms come in.

When you talk to a representative of the person or group you are interested to hire for your SEO campaign, you get a chance to see whether they know their stuff, so to speak, and whether the way they work will be a good fit for your business.

It helps to have a clear understanding of what you want by this stage. The more specific, the better. Look for Raleigh SEO services providers who can give you the most concrete ideas to help you you’re your campaign. You should also consider being cost-effective here as you also need to balance what your campaign will be and the money you are willing to spend on it.

We mentioned a while ago that you should be as specific as possible in telling your prospect Raleigh SEO services firm what you want for your campaign, right? That goes the same for them. The more detailed an initial plan a prospect can present to you, the better. This is because you see here what direction the person or firm is going with your campaign. It is a sign that he or she knows what they are doing and more importantly, has concrete steps they intend to follow to get to your goal.

Nonetheless, you should also remember that SEO takes time and is not done overnight. It will also take resources as this takes expertise to do. You can learn how to do SEO for your own site, but what you are paying for here is the time you would rather spend growing and managing your venture than learning a new skill for one facet of marketing.

But since you will be spending your hard-earned money for this, striking a balance between being cost-effective and being effective should be one of your priorities when selecting Raleigh SEO services providers.

Kaya & Norman were still trottin' around with their original tags I got for them as puppies. Just the name and phone number ones you get from the machine at the pet store. I'd been meaning to get them some fun custom tags for a long time but finally got around to it once I noticed that their old tags, along with their cheapo split rings had gotten all rusted and were rubbing off on the nice stainless steel bottle opener D-rings on their Cycle Dog collars.

boring old rusted tags on their old collars

I decided on a couple tags from Critter Bling on Etsy. In case you haven't checked it out, Etsy is amazing for pet products and other handmade/personalized items. Remember our Etsy Halloween collars? Every shop owner I have worked with on Etsy has been so dedicated to their craft, pleasant to communicate with and passionate about their product. This shop was no exception. I sent her a long drawn-out explanation of what I wanted which was really a combo of several different tags she had listed, but without any further questions, she understood exactly what I wanted! About a week later, for just 11 bucks each, I had my awesome new tags!

Can you guess which is Kaya's and which is Norman's?

I love their names in the circles, she stamped the letters and circles all separately by hand!

I had to go with nu-gold(red brass) for Kaya because I love this metal with her eyes and Norman's is a nice nickle silver. I even loved the packaging which included a cute tin, tissue paper, tiny baggies for each tag and even separators so the split rings wouldn't rub on the tags. She also included 2 stainless steel split rings with each tag so I no longer have to worry about that damn rust on my tags and collars!

I spent about an hour scrubbing the rust off the D-rings!

And of course we had to head to the park for a photo shoot! Getting the dogs to stay put was easy, but getting the tags to stay put in the breeze was not something I anticipated...

I love these tags so much, if I ever get around to buying Kaya and Norman their leather collars, I might just order the same ones so I don't have to worry about switching the tags between the collars.

Do your pups have special tags or do they keep it simple?

The all important bloopers ;-)

Stay tuned because I also have a tag for Gina coming soon and another set of super fun custom tags for Kaya and Norman!

  1. What great tags!

    Stop on by for a visit

  2. Super cute tags! Right now we just have the ones from the pet store because we will be moving soon... once we do and have a new address and phone number I'll be looking to update!

  3. Ray has a special one with a peace sign but he gets too stimulated with even a small tag. Somewhere along the line he had a Ravens tag with his name on it but managed to eat it.

    1. Ha, that's funny that he gets excited by his tag. He's a big puppy!

  4. I love their new tags. I have a tag with a tennis ball on it for Ace from a company called dogIDs.com. I totally want to order him a leather collar at some point.

  5. OH MY GOSH first of all your cat looks photoshopped in in the first picture! Haha it made me laugh.
    These are great tags and you couldn't have picked a more perfect phrase for each of them. The pictures of Kaya with her ball are truly the best.

    1. Haha, ya I love the one with her nose in the air, her ball on one side of her mouth and her tongue on the other:)

Andy and the boys should hold their heads high, in managing to maintain the course in such good condition against so many odds.What have they been up against?

It has been another tough month! Not only for golfers but for the course staff and the club itself.

With Mother Nature doing its damage bringing excessive rainfall and consistent shaded days to the greens, these poor weather conditions have made it very favourable to a variety of insects that have impacted on a few of our greens, tees, and surrounds. The most damage was caused on the 11th green. I have identified an insect called mealy bug. Its presence is smaller than a grain of sand; it can be very destructive not only to the surface but also down in the root system.

All greens have been sprayed with a selective insecticide; I will be following up with another application next fortnight. Over the next two weeks the 11th green will be mowed on competition days only and rested on social days to help with recovery.

On the topic of insects, members may have noticed a few wasps on tees and surrounds, again these weather conditions favour grubs and all areas have been sprayed and are under full control.

The ground staff were unable to mow rough areas due to so many rainy days, however with finally having some sunshine last week we were able to get all rough completed.

Over the next month we have a couple of volunteers helping out with some rough mowing to free up the course staff so we can catch up on other work including snipping paths, dams etc.

The nursery green has been on hold this month due to the 18th hole being too wet as we will be using this hole to cross over when we transfer the sand down from the car park.

We have already started with the surface being removed and we will be surfacing the first half with blue couch this month. Depending on weather, this will be all completed by the end of May, and another update will be in May's report.

Due to the poor weather conditions our greens have been raised to 4mm from our height of 3.5mm.

We will still be rolling greens to keep a reasonable speed with having the heights raised. This will now stay at this height through the winter period; all other machinery will stay at original heights.

Selective greens will be over sowed with poatriv (winter grass) during May; more details on this will be in next month’s report.

We can all agree the rain can move so we can get back on top and start enjoying some golf.

WRC Petter Solberg holds tiny lead after stage one in Mexico

RALLY GUANAJUATO MEXICO 2012, March 8-11, 2012
2012 FIA World Rally Championship, round 3

For immediate release
Thursday, March 8th, 2012

· Second position on first stage for Loeb; Østberg in third
· Solberg wins qualifying stage; Loeb fastest on shakedown

LEÓN (Mexico): Norwegian Petter Solberg and his Ulster co-driver Chris Patterson held a tiny 0.4s lead after the opening 1.05km DC Shoes Street Stage of Rally Guanajuato Mexico, round three of the 2012 FIA World Rally Championship, in a packed Guanajuato on Thursday evening.

Thousands of spectators greeted 27 teams to the historic town for the ceremonial start of the event outside the ‘Alhondiga de Granaditas’ and twice former PWRC winner Armindo Araújo was the first driver over the podium and into the short stage at the wheel of his Mini John Cooper Works WRC.

Stage winner Solberg began from 14th position on the road and managed to set the fastest time, with Frenchman Sébastien Loeb slotting into second position ahead of Norway’s Mads Østberg.

“I have never seen so many people at a start of a rally,” enthused Brazilian Mini driver Paulo Nobre. “It was just unbelievable. It is so nice to start a rally like that. Congratulations to Mexico!”

A new 5.18km qualifying stage was introduced for the first time this year and that enabled the 14 leading WRC drivers to choose where they wanted to be positioned on the road, dependent upon their performance on the short stage.

The special ran straight after the traditional shakedown session – which was won by Loeb with a second run time of 2m 50.8s – but the Frenchman lost a little time on the start line of the qualifying special and posted a target of 2m 50.6s, which was beaten by Hirvonen (2m 49.5s) and eventual qualifying session winner Petter Solberg. The Norwegian posted a quickest time of 2m 48.6s and will now start from his chosen 14th position on the road through the opening gravel special stages on Friday.

“We were pushing for this regulation (qualifying),” said eight-time World Champion Loeb. “It is fairer. We were all fighting for our position and I will be 12th on the road on Friday and that is not a bad position. That means there will be two Fords and two Citroëns racing in the same conditions. Petter was faster this morning. I was hesitating a bit in some places on the qualifying stage. I did not have a perfect start. All drivers were fighting for one second, so it was not easy to be the fastest.”
Latvala was disappointed to be over two seconds adrift and Portugal’s Armindo Araújo – who had been forced to miss the second run through the shakedown stage because of turbo and throttle problems – continued to suffer in his Mini and finished 13th.

Brazilian Paulo Nobre erred on the side of caution on the qualifying stage and will now start last but one on the road on Friday after Araújo elected to start first. “I did what I could without doing any damage,” said Nobre. “If you make a problem here, you don’t make the rally!”

Tomorrow (Friday), teams will tackle an unprecedented 11 special stages, including two runs through the brand new Las Minas and Los Mexicanos tests.

Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947), better known by his stage name, Meat Loaf, is an American rock musician and actor. He is noted for the Bat Out of Hell album trilogy consisting of Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose. Bat Out of Hell has sold more than 43 million copies. After more than 30 years, it still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually, and stayed on the charts for over nine years, making it one of the best selling albums of all time. Although he enjoyed success with Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell, and earned a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo for a track on the latter album, Meat Loaf experienced some initial difficulty establishing a steady career within his native US. However, he has retained iconic status and popularity in Europe, especially the UK, where he ranks 23rd for number of weeks overall spent on the charts. He ranked 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock." Meat Loaf has also appeared in over 50 movies or television shows, sometimes as himself, or as characters resembling his stage persona.

Final week, Mint reported a Rs.200 crore funding by Piramal in a joint growth undertaking of Omkar Realtors and Kolkata-primarily based Discussion board Group in Mumbai.

Realty group Omkar Realtors & Developers, which has simply achieved financial closure worth Rs 550 crore for its two upcoming initiatives in Malad and Worli in the metropolis, at present said it will increase about Rs 200 crore by Mumbai Omkar Ananta Rate of non-public fairness within the subsequent two-three months.As far as usually the numbers are involved, we’ll preserve our development charges. I’ve been listening to about this mission and infact visited omkar office and met their gross sales guys. The company had registered an FIR towards S Lakshimnarayana, senior manager and branch head of Central Bank of India’s Basavanagudi department, and administrators of Omkar Parimal Mandir, S Gopal and Ashwin G Sunkur. Omkar Kapoor, the kid actor from the 90s impressed one and all with his performance on this yr’s sleeper hit, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2. While praises have been pouring in,Omkar is still eagerly waiting for Salman Khan to watch the film. They imagine Ananta has a slight edge above Alta Monte and provides a better choice to each investor in addition to end person. Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 overview: The first ?had some punch and? was okay for a bunch of laughs.

Among them are Runwal (5% cash again on the settlement value for registration + stamp duty), (ii) Omkar Builders(not charging ground rise for Alta Monter undertaking, although the prices have increased by 20% to seize theMumbai Omkar Ananta Price rise),Nirmal Builders (offering Rs 5 lakh as cash back for Nirmal US Open and Turquoise tasks in Mulund) andGundecha (free stamp duty & registration, implying a 5% discount).Date Sources:Stay BSE and NSE Quotes Service: TickerPlant Corporate Data, F& Data & Historic price quantity data: Dion World Solutions Ltd.

Blues boss hails Cole
Carlton Cole makes his presence felt
Cole has scored 36 goals for the reserves this season
Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri saluted "young lion" Carlton Cole after the 18-year-old striker scored on his first senior start against Middlesbrough.

Cole headed a stunning goal to put the Blues on course to victory at the Riverside, Boudewijn Zenden securing a comfortable win with the second.

The youngster has been a prolific scorer for Chelsea's reserve side but had previously made just one senior outing as a substitute.

And he only got his chance on Saturday when Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink suffered a calf strain during the warm-up.

Nobody got injured and that is very important before the final
Claudio Ranieri

Boro boss Steve McLaren agreed to a late swap after the team-sheets had been signed, with Ranieri keen not to risk his top scorer before next Saturday's FA Cup final against Arsenal.

"There's no problem with Jimmy; he felt his calf tighten and I decided to take a precaution and preserve him for the final," said Ranieri.

"I preferred to play with my 'young lion' Carlton Cole instead. He played well, scored a goal and afterwards became much more confident and held up the ball well.

"I was happy with his performance. He has scored a lot of goals for the reserves - 36 already this season."

Ranieri also left Eidur Gudjohnsen on the bench as a precaution but both he and Hasselbaink will be fit for the Cup final.

The Italian added: "I asked my players to play with the same concentration as every game because it's important to have the same mentality.

"I am also happy because nobody got injured and that is very important before the final."

By contrast it was a dismal finish to Boro's season at the Riverside, with McLaren critical of his players' failure to take several good chances.

He also questioned the refereeing of Barry Knight, who disallowed two first-half efforts including one by Colin Cooper.

"We are disappointed with the result as we wanted to finish on a high," McLaren said.

It is about the whole season and I have told the players to be proud of what they have achieved
Steve McLaren

"There were a few turning points in the game - we thought we should have had the first goal but it was disallowed.

"That was a strange decision - there were a lot of strange decisions in the game."

A third consecutive league defeat ended Boro's hopes of beating their previous best Premiership finish of ninth place.

But McLaren refused to be too downbeat after a solid campaign in his first year in charge.

"It is about the whole season and I have told the players to be proud of what they have achieved," he added.

"We can still finish in the top half of the table and I would have been happy with that at the beginning of the season - and even happier after we lost our first four games."

Timber harvests and log consumption have been shifting from west to east in Central Europe

Germany becoming a net importer of logs, reports the Wood Resource Quarterly

Timber harvests, wood consumption, log trade and sawlog prices in Central Europe have seen substantial change during the past 10 years with a shift in log production and consumption from western regions to countries in the east, as reported in the Wood Resource Quarterly. These developments have resulted in changes in log flows and a trend towards equalized sawlog prices in the region.

Seattle, USA. Harvests of timber in Europe have remained practically unchanged for three years at around 370 million m3 annually, according to the UNECE. A closer look at the timber harvest trends for Central Europe the past ten years reveals the interesting development that the average annual harvests in the “Central West” region (Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland) were 15 % higher in the five years between 2003 through 2007 than between 2008 and 2012. During the same period, the timber removals in the “Central East” region (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia) increased four percent, and this region now harvests more than the “Central West”, a reversal from the historical position when more timber was removed in the western countries, according to the Wood Resource Quarterly (www.woodprices.com).

Not only has log production fallen in the “Central West” region the past five years, but so has log consumption by the forest industry, which was down on average nine percent during the 2008-2012 period as compared to 2003-2007. In the “Central East”, log consumption fell only two percent during the same time period.

The log trade flow in Central Europe has changed the past decade with the “Central West” region having become a larger net importer of logs the past five years as compared to the previous five-year period, and the “Central East” region exporting more logs the past few years than prior to this time. The biggest change occurred in Germany, which traditionally had been a net exporter of logs, but became a net importer in 2009. During the first five months of 2013, Germany was a net importer of two million m3 of softwood logs, which can be compared to net exportation of 1.6 million m3 just five years ago.

Sawlog prices in Germany and the neighboring Czech Republic have followed each other fairly closely the past 15 years, however at different levels, according to the WRQ. In the 1990’s, average sawlog prices in the Czech Republic were approximately 60% of the German prices, while during the past few years this level has reached 80%.

Global pulpwood and timber market reporting is included in the 52-page quarterly publication Wood Resource Quarterly (WRQ). The report, established in 1988 and with subscribers in over 30 countries, tracks sawlog, pulpwood, lumber and pellet prices, trade and market developments in most key regions around the world.

Muslim men face INS bureaucracy
Larger view
Long lines form in INS waiting room; Special Registration has added to the agency's workload. (Mary Losure)
After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the Immigration and Naturalization Service to begin tracking visitors from 25 mostly Muslim countries. Since the first anniversary of the attacks, male visitors from these countries have been required to report in person to the INS for special registration, or risk deportation. So far, more than 23,000 men have registered nationwide.

Minnetonka, Minn. — In the Twin Cities suburb of Minnetonka, Sharjeel, a 28-yearold Pakistani software engineer, is meeting with his lawyer, Stephen Thal. Sharjeel has asked that his last name and the name of his employer not be used in this story. In two weeks, he plans to report to the INS for special registration.

Now, he and Thal work through the stacks of documents in Sharjeel's file. The papers show he's been in perfect compliance with INS regulations ever since he first came to this country to study computer science eight years ago. He's a long-term worker here, but hasn't applied for citizenship. If anything goes wrong at the INS, Sharjeel's job and future in this country could be in jeopardy.

So he has a few questions.

"I was told by a friend of mine that when you go for the interview process your legal counselor can be with you for the interview, but if they decide to take an action, whatever that is, then you don't have any legal guidance available at that time, is that even true?" Sharjeel asks.

"You do have a right to have counsel with you. The only time that we might not be able to be present with you is when they take you back into a secure area to actually do the fingerprints and photograph," Thal replies.

Thal advises Sharjeel on the information the INS may require from him, including his library card and credit card numbers. The two go over each question that might be asked: Why did you come to this country? What organizations have you belonged to?

Nothing seems likely to cause problems. Still, Sharjeel's employer isn't taking any chances. The company is giving him time off from work to prepare and has even paid for his lawyer.

"They've told me even though you know everything is clean, but this will be just insurance to make sure you don't say anything stupid, or you don't say anything which you're not supposed to," Sharjeel explains. "I'm actually 101 percent confident, I don't have any problem, because I have everything in order. I don't have anything to be afraid of."

Image Clients often can't make appointments

Two weeks later, steam rises from the cars idling in the early morning darkness of the INS parking lot. The temperature is two degrees below zero. Some of these INS clients have been here since midnight, when one of them put a signup list on the sidewalk in front of the glass entrance doors. Now, shortly before the doors open at 6:30 a.m., people are piling out of their cars and using their self-imposed system to find their places in line.

"50! 51!" calls the man who put out the notebook at midnight. "We're at the end of the list, and I'm done, I'm cold, I’ve tried the best I can," he says, hurrying to take his place in line.

These clients have good reason to get here early. The INS has not been taking appointments for special registration or many other INS requirements, even though clients can lose their work permits and jobs or be deported for missing deadlines. The day before, by nine in the morning, the INS was turning away people for special registration and telling them to come back the next day.

Sharjeel takes his place at the end of a line of about 70 INS clients. The doors open, and people shuffle stiffly inside. The first 75 people are ushered through the metal detectors to the INS's next waiting room, downstairs. The rest will have to wait up to six or eight hours.

Sharjeel is at the very tail end of first group, so he makes it through. That puts him second on the day's list of special registrations. At 8:45, he's called in for his interview, along with his attorney.

By INS standards, it's been a short wait, only two and a half hours from his first arrival that morning. They emerge about half an hour later. They still look tense, but everything has gone well.

"It almost felt like when you go to a bank, where they ask you a bunch of questions, where have you lived, where have you worked, kind of that area, Sharjeel says.

He’s pretty sure they already had all the data they asked for, and he says the interviewers didn't ask whether he'd ever been associated with terrorism. But the experience hasn't changed how he feels about America.

"I've seen this in different countries where they do check on their visitors, and non immigrants. I've been through this once in Sri Lanka, so I'm pretty much ok with the process," Sharjeel says.

Asked why he allowed a reporter to follow along, he says he figured it might help others understand, even those who don’t have to register.

"Let's say, American citizens, they might understand what's going on and what the process is. I know at my work my whole team knows what the process is by now, they all wished me luck yesterday, when I was leaving from work, and said, 'well, hopefully we'll see you on Thursday.'"

Sharjeel says goodbye and disappears into the elevator, leaving his attorney Stephen Thal behind. Unlike Sharjeel, Thal is not ok with the process, which he says is targeting the wrong people.

"I mean people like Sharjeel and I've got a doctor out here today who's a medical resident. I mean these people are our friends, they're benefiting our community, they're providing a valuable service. These are the people we want to have on our side," Thal says.

Thal says he's already seeing some clients who have lived in this country for years but who now face deportation for minor immigration violations. And he questions whether targeting people who are here legally and who are willing to come in and register is really going to make the United States safer from terrorists.

But INS Deputy District Director John Klow defends the program as a long-overdue tightening of the INS's system for tracking visitors.

"The system that the INS had [before] involved issuing a small white card called a form I 94 to the visitor, then when the visitor left from the United States, the visitor was expected to turn that card in," Klow said.

INS officials say even though the intensified tracking now applies only to males from predominantly Muslim countries, it will eventually be extended to apply to all visitors.

In the meantime, it has raised protests from targeted groups.

The government of Pakistan has asked to have its citizens exempted from the program. Pakistan's foreign minister recently told U.S. officials the program is sparking anger at home, and anxiety among Pakistani citizens who have long lived peacefully in this country.

"They support their families not only here, but also back home in Pakistan," Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursid Mahmood Kasuri told the New York Times. "These people are just not the stuff that terrorists are made of."

Shepparton Gold Cup preview

By Shepparton News

New Zealand visitor Im Pats Delight looks the horse to beat in tomorrow night’s Group Two Neatline Homes $60000 Shepparton Gold Cup.

But it’s a race where most of the runners in the seven-horse field look to have genuine winning claims.

The Cran Dalgety-trained Im Pats Delight steps out for the first time since his fifth placing in the Inter Dominion final at Melton on December 15.

He should be fresh enough for the testing 2690m cup journey and will have the services of premier reinsman Gavin Lang, who also drove him in the Inter series.

Coming from barrier four he will also have an advantage over two of his main rivals, the local hope San Carlo, who comes from barrier six, and Our Uncle Sam, who has the outside front row draw.

Tactics in the race will be vital, particularly with the small field.

Apart from Im Pats Delight sound arguments for winning the race with their share of luck in running can be put forward for San Carlo, Our Uncle Sam, Let It Ride and Our Triple Play.

After his gallant second in the Inter Dominion final to Tiger Tara last month, Our Uncle Sam suffered defeat in his next start at Bathurst on Boxing Day, finishing third behind Our Triple Play in the Shirley Turnbull Memorial over the gruelling 2790m trip.

On that effort Our Triple Play also has to come into calculations.

San Carlo looks to be in the race up to his ears and the Steve O’Donoghue-trained and Bec Bartley-driven eight-year-old will be the sentimental favourite on his home track.

The Tim Butt-trained Let It Ride, who ran San Carlo to a half-head in last Saturday night’s Bendigo Cup after a soft run, has the best barrier draw three — of the main hopes and should get a good run from his draw.

The other Shepparton-trained pacer in the race, the Laura Crossland-trained Share The Road, will be one of the outsiders due to his inexperience at this level.

But he put in an eye-catching run in the Cobram Cup last Sunday to finish fourth after breaking early in the race.

Even Flaming Flutter, who is in the twilight of his career, can run a bold race from his poleline barrier draw.

He finished second in an Inter Dominion final at Menangle, but that was in 2015.

●The other feature on tomorrow night’s card, The George Gath, has attracted some top class trotters headed by Inter Dominion runner-up, the Shepparton-owned, Michael Stanley-trained and Ryan Duffy-driven Sky Petite.

If she repeats her super Inter final runner-up performance she will be hard to beat

But there are some classy trotters, including Kyvalley Blur, Red Hot Tooth, Big Jack Hammer and Monty Python, who were all Inter Dominion finalists, in the field to make it one of the most anticipated races on the 10-event card.

Gates open: 4.30pm.

Admission: Adults $15. Kids under 16 free.

First race: 6.28pm.

Last race: 11.07pm.
