Full-time Manchester United 2-1 Reading
So Manchester United are through to the sixth round of the FA Cup, where they will face either Middlesbrough or Chelsea, but this was anything than the stroll many (including myself) expected. The hosts started brilliantly and could have been 2-0 up in the opening few minutes, but Reading refused to be cowed and got back into the match thanks to some aggressive pressing and accurate passing.
That pattern continued into the second-half but having brought Robin Van Persie off the bench, United eventually took full control and it did not come as a surprise when Nani, another United substitute, gave them the lead with a neat close-range finish on 69 minutes. The same player then provided the cross for Javier Hernandez to make it 2-0 three minutes later.
That should have been that but Reading, who looked dead on their feet, someone managed to get a goal back through Jobi McAnuff's close-range strike and they suddenly found the energy to push for an equaliser. United hit them on the break and had chances to make it 3-1, but ultimately this game ended as a tight affair. United go through but well done to Reading for showing a decent amount of ambition and skill. I almost had to eat my horse.
That's it from me then. Thanks for all the emails and apologies I couldn't get through them all.
Nighty night!
Full-time Manchester United 2-1 Reading
Peep! Peep! All over at Old Trafford.
90min Oh that looked like the equaliser as Shorey swung a deep cross into the six-yard area. Karacan flicked it on towards Le Fondre but someone in red was able to clear. United then go up the pitch again and, through Hernandez, force Federici into a save. Cracking finish this.
90min Reading are now launching some tasty long throws into the area which Vidic is clearing all on his own. As he plays the hero, Nani decides to play the fool and gives away a free-kick just outside the United area. Federici is up for it...
90min Great to see ESPN agree with me and have made Nani man of the match.
90min Speaking of which, there'll be four added minutes.
90min Another lovely pass from Van Persie puts Welbeck through but he is unable to get past Morrison. United win a corner which they keep in the corner. Hard to believe but the hosts are now looking to run the clock down.
88min "From a Portuguese perspective it's great to see Nani back with two crucial WC Qualifiers coming up next month," writes Ricardo Aguiar.
No doubt the man with the perm has played well tonight.
86min This is a sloppy finish from United, who from looking in total control are now giving away possession in dangerous area. That said, they are able to break and do so again as Van Persie plays a lovely pass to Hernandez. His shot is saved by Federici and Nani's subsequent rebound goes just wide of the near post.
84min Reading are forcing United back but suddenly the hosts break forward through the impressive Nani, who sprays the ball out left to Welbeck. He runs towards goal and looks set to hit a drive towards goal before getting into a mess and slamming the ball against his standing foot. It plops out for a goalkick.
83min Carrick is on for Anderson.
81min That goal came from absolutely nowhere. Reading looked out of puff but suddenly a low cross was played into the area towards Le Fondre which Smalling only half-cleared and as his fellow defenders got themselves into a mess, McAnuff was able to pounce and thrash a drive past De Gea from close range.
GOAL! Manchester United 2-1 Reading (McAnuff 81)
Well blow me down with a feather, we could have a comeback here
79min Have to say that Nani has been excellent tonight. He only came on due to Phil Jones's first-half injury but has been impressive since, pushing Reading back with his runs and firing some high-quality shots at goal, one of which lead to the first goal. He's man of the match barring a late Le Fondere hattrick.
76min Van Persie is making a difference here with his touch and hold up play. Reading look dead on their feet and I can definitely see United getting a third goal. Meanwhile Hal Robson-Kanu has come on for McCleary.
Licence to etc etc
"On second thoughts, perhaps Bond would be an Arsenal supporter," muses Justin Kavanagh. "A long line of young talent always passing through his manor, but ultimately under the thumb of Miss Moneypenny."
Now that is class.
72min Nani was involved again, slinging in a cross from the right wing that Hernandez charged towards and headed past Federici at his near post. A shame for Reading who have played well here but, as expected, United have punished them by simply stepping up a couple of gears. They're as good as through.
GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 Reading (Hernandez 72)
Game over now as Hernandez scores his third goal of the season.
69min The breakthrough ultimately was not a surprise as United got well and truly on top of Reading. Valencia, moving in from the right wing, played a square pass to Nani who took a touch with his left foot before poking the ball past Federici with his right.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Reading (Nani 69)
And Nani has finally got the goal his performance has deserved.
67min The United onslaught is back as Reading are forced further and further back towards their own goal. Shorey has just had to hack away a Valencia cross and while the resulting corner was cleared, United are simply coming back for more.
67min Apologies for not pointing out that at the same time Van Persie came on for Young, Danny Guthrie came on for Leigertwood. Will the United fans remember to boo him for being a former Liverpool player? We shall see.
65min Sod RVP, Nani looks the most likely man in red to score tonight. He goes close again with a curling shot that goes just wide of the far post.
64min Looks like Van Persie will play off Hernandez with Welbeck taking Young's place on the left-wing.
63min Ooh, Nani pokes the ball just wide after Reading had failed to clear a United corner. The men in blue and white catch their breath and then have to sharply intake some more as they see Van Persie coming on for Young.
Get my horse...
"Between your confidence and Brian Kitt's dismissal of any teams that aren't massive, the Karma Police are surely lining up a Reading win with an 87th minute scuffed Le Fondre goal," predicts Matt Dony. "Not that I hold Brian Kitt personally responsible, he's become a sort of composite representation of all United fans with a sense of entitlement. And that's a lot of people."
59min Vidic's header from a Young corner is blocked by Morrison and, after retaining possession, Reading finally move up the pitch. Karacan, and Leigertwood, who has both been neat in possession through this contest, get the ball forward and McCleary has a shot from just inside the area that is blocked. Going up the other end of pitch, Anderson then forces Federici into another save. This game is opening up again

"James Bond isn't a Cardiff, Norwich, Newcastle, Palace or Swindon fan, but a Halifax Town fan," writes Ben Smith. "Shaymen, not birds. I'll get my coat."
54min We have the first booking of the match and it's gone to old staple head Noel Hunt for a lunge on Smalling. There still seems to be blood coming out of his head...
52min Reading are being well and truly pinned back here as United now become the team doing most of the pressing. The men in red are moving the ball quickly and with purpose.
49min United well on top here and Cleverley has just had a shot from inside the area blocked by a Reading defender. The pressure continues and Federici is forced into saving Nani's long-range strike. To be fair, it was from about 700 miles out.
48min Both teams are unchanged and, as was the case in the first-half, United have started on top. Their tempo is definitely better than it was for large parts prior the break and the question now is whether they can take any chances that come their way.
And we're off...
45min Reading kick-off the second-half and we've just had the news that crack striker Noel Hunt has had six staples put in the back of his head following that early clash with Nemanja Vidic. Yes, that's right, staples. What a hard nut he is.
In response to Brain Kitt's earlier email, Ben Gaunt says this: "I'd normally agree with Brian, however we've not won the FA Cup in so long now... I'd quite like an easy run!:
While Steve Fenton says this: "Tell Brian Kitt I do hope the rest of us can find a team worthy of giving United a game. P.S. why does 'chicarito' keep falling over?"
Licence to etc etc
Apologies for not posting all the emails that have come my way this evening. On the James Bond front, there's been a range of suggestions for who 007 may support. We've had Rangers, Liverpool, Grimsby and, most gloriously of all, Roma. Kevin Porter has chipped in with this belter: "Mr Bond's interest in continental football would surely lie in the Ukraine rather than Norway - he no doubt prefers things Shakhtor than Start."
Bravo sir, bravo.
A cracking tweet
Half-time: Manchester United 0-0 Reading
Well that's a surprise isn't it? To be fair, United have had enough chances to score, primarily during a breathless first few minutes when they laid siege to Reading's goal and created more than decent chances through Danny Welbeck and Antonio Valencia. Ashley Young and, late on, Nani have also come close, but Adam Federici has been excellent in the Reading goal and further up the pitch his team-mates have pressed well and moved the ball even better. Much of the visitors' threat has come from corners, however, and I still get the sense that United will score here. A half-time rollicking from Sir Alex should do it.
45min Nani's on fire here. Minutes after his cracking volley, the winger forces Federici into a save after making firm contact with Valencia's square pass. United have a corner, which leads to nothing.
45min We're going to have four minutes of added time at the end of the first-half.
45min Nani hits the post! Oh that was a wonderful strike from the substitute, a first-time volley from the right-edge of the area that smashes the far post and came after Morrison had cleared Welbeck's right-wing cross towards the Portuguese.
44min And more pressure from Reading leads to David De Gea having to make a save from Le Fondre's long-range strike. Reading really have made a game of this through their quick and accurate passing through midfield.
42min Nani has come on for Jones, and it looks like Valencia will move to right-back. Meanwhile, Morrison has just pulled a shot wide of United's area after another spell of Reading pressure.
39min Problem for United as Phil Jones is forced to limp away from the pitch after taking a hard but fair challenge from McAnuff. He's played well at right-back. It looks like Nani is coming on, fair to say he's never played well at right-back.
38min The ESPN cameras have just caught a shot of Robin Van Persie yawning on the bench. How fantastically arrogant is that?! Bet he's sat there thinking: "Get me on Alec, I can f*cking murder this lot"
Licence to etc etc
"As a Naval Commander, wouldn't James Bond be a fan of Grimsby Town?" asks Chris Brock.
Or Southampton, or Portsmouth, or ....
34min Smalling heads over from Anderson's looping corner. That came from another surge up the field from United, who when they step up the pace are getting through Reading quite easily, primarily because Reading are pressing quickly and therefore leaving gaps for the hosts to exploit. It's a brave tactic, for sure.
Now that interesting....
Check out this chin-scratcher from Brian Kitt: "One measure of the increasing power of the 'big' teams in the Premiership and the related decline of the FA Cup is that, as a United fan, there was a time not long ago when an FA Cup draw would be met with trepidation for fear of landing a tough draw, whereas now, (am I alone?) in watching a draw hoping to land a Chelsea or Liverpool to make it interesting."
Licence to etc etc
Oh this could be the best "who does James Bond support?" shout of the night from Justin Kavanagh: "Surely 007 is a Roma supporter? Always armed and dangerous, and with a fondness for Totti."
27min This game is surprisingly even, although United have already had enough chances to have taken the lead, and really should have. Reading are using the ball well, though, and a deep cross from Jobi McAnuff just now forced Buttner into giving away a corner which United again struggled to clear. You sense that if Reading are to score it will come from a set-piece
Licence to etc etc
"The James Bond character was based on swashbuckling aristo Count Robin Ian Evelyn Milne Stuart de la Lanne Mirrlees who latterly resided on a croft on Great Bernera - part of the isle of Lewis - until his death aged 87 in 2012," writes Peter Edwards. "As the Ooter Hebs don't really have a footie team and given that the populus is predominantly Protestant, then Lord Dunne would probably be accurate in suggesting James Bond would be a GGR supporter."
Well that's cleared that up then.
22min Oh that's a great save! Federici springs down low to his right to push Young's shot away for a corner having initially saved a long-range effort from Cleverly. The corner comes to nothing but United are back on top now. Meanwhile Hunt is on his third shirt of the night after that earlier cut.
Speaking of which...
"Have you seen Michu run?" asks Gary Naylor. "I reckon he's been on the lasagnes. And God only knows what Gareth Bale's been eating."
Bale's clearly been on the leopards.
17min And yet more great defending from Vidic as the United captain heads Shorey's free-kick away from danger inside the six yard area as Morrison looked to steam in for a header that would have surely led to a goal. Brian McDermott's men are making a game of this, someone get my horse.
16min It sounds like a pretty subdued atmosphere at Old Trafford and no doubt the home crowd are simply waiting for the men in red/white/black to score, but fair play to Reading who after an early scare are definitely in this match now, pressing United high up the pitch before passing the ball intelligently in midfield.
Licence to etc etc
Back to the emails and Fred Sullivan has made this bold claim:"Everyone knows that James Bond supports Liverpool, though the fortunes of everyone's favourite super-spy and the Reds seem to be at polar opposites through the decades. 007 was superb in the 60s, distinctly tired and ropey in the 70s and 80s, before an all-conquering recent revival."
Liverpool won the league and FA Cup under Bill Shankly during the 1960s, but otherwise a nice observation that Fred.
11min United back on the attack and Federici is forced to make a save as Tom Cleverley whips in an excellent cross towards Javier Hernandez. Back at the other end of the pitch Vidic and Noel Hunt are receiving treatment for cuts after a clash of heads. Both are bloodied. Nice.
10min United struggle to clear Nicky Shorey's in-swinging corner and Reading continue to put pressure on the United defence, but the danger eventually passes as Garath McCleary's cross is blocked back off him by Alexander Buttner for a United goalkick.
9min What's this, a Reading corner. Fair play to the visitors, who have sustained pressure in the United half and forced Chris Smalling into making a tackle as Adam Le Fondre looked to drive towards goal.
7min Reading have finally got the ball and have finally moved into United's half, but are unable to find a way through the home defence, and specifically Nemanja Vidic who is literally moving across the area in order to cut out any danger.
3min More pressure from United and another drive from Welbeck, this time from a tight angle on the left edge of the six yard area following Ashley Young's perfectly waited through pass. Adam Federici is able to save at his near post, but make no mistake: this is an onslaught so far.
2min Well this looks ominous for Reading. United have had all the ball since kick-off and after a typically slick move up the field they should have taken the lead, first through Danny Welbeck's low drive from just inside the area and then from a header from Antonio Valencia that lacked power and direction.
1min Peep peep! And we're off. United kick-off and are defending the Stretford End in the first half.
horse play II
"Being an Arsenal fan I'd love to see you eat your horse," writes Anna Rutgersson.
You're on Gooner!
horse play
Robbie Borowczyk has questioned my vow to eat a horse should Reading win this match. "Do you own a horse to be consumed if Utd win this one?" Robbie asks, "and, if not will you agree to consume an equivalent weight in Findus lasagne instead?"
Given I consume three Findus lasagnes a week, and seven during Christmas, that would be no bother my friend.

"Simon "Da Man" MacMahon has a point," writes the Lord Dunne. "Skyfall came out on DVD/Blu-Ray today - would you not rather MBM that? I'd follow it! Wonder what team James Bond supports actually. Skyfall suggests that Bond is Scottish (originally) and has a love of the Union. Surely then the Glorious Glasgow Rangers would be the logical choice! Although Bond's pretty posh, so maybe he just fannies about with cricket and rugby."
I reckon James Bond supports Queen of the South (work it out).
He said what?!
"Did the interviewer on ESPN, just call him Sir Al?!?!" asks Sean Ryan as United's manager is asked for his pre-match views. I'll be honest Sean, I wasn't listening to that bit, but should the reporter in question receive a banning order from Old Trafford in the next few days, we can all presume that he did.
Gonna party like it's 1999
ESPN have just put up a graphic comparing this current United side to the one which won the treble in 1999. Christ, seeing "Irwin", "Stam", "Yorke" and "Cole" together on the telly again has taken me right back. Sod this MBM, I'm off to revise for my A-levels.
Heeerrrrrs Ryan!
Ryan Dunne is here! And, as is typical of the MBM veteran, he's pinged across a belting email: "Hawrite Sachin! Really great introduction. Actually, although I know that most clubs can't aspire to the vast worldwide fanbase and domestic success of my team, the Glorious Glasgow Rangers, perhaps Reading could do more to increase their fanbase, as they have the perfect name for those footballers-promote-literacy initiatives in Schools. Not sure if they have any players who could beat Darren Mackie's infamously peerless contribution to the field though: http://www.meldrum-pri.aberdeenshire.sch.uk/page47.html
A worried United fan (no kidding)
"Though I'm a Manchester United supporter, I wouldn't be as confident as you are Sachin that United will definitely see it through today," writes Venkata Subramanian, "I guess the team will still be suffering from the hangover of their epic defensive performance at Real Madrid and, at the same time, Reading will be looking for a chance to go to Wembley, and end the season on a high. And Middlesbrough at home will be all pumped up for the clash against Chelsea. Wouldn't it be worth suggesting people punt on a Reading v Middlesbrough in the next round?"
Now that's a good spot
Peter Littley has us bang to rights: "Looking at the teams, It's going to be hard for Rooney and Le Fondre to square up tonight... Rooney isn't included, time to change the photo caption."
I'll get the Guardian gremlins on it mate.
The first email is in
"Evening Sachin," writes Simon McMahon. "The magic of the cup, eh? Romance, upsets, David versus Goliath, you're really selling this one. But of course you're right, there's about as much chance of Reading winning tonight as there is of the Pope resigning."
Hmmm...not sure what to make of that one.
So as expected...
...Sir Alex Ferguson has shuffled his pack for this one, making seven changes to the side which drew 1-1 with Real Madrid last week. It's still a decent side, though, with Javier Hernandez, who scored twice in United's 4-1 victory over Fulham in the fourth-round, back in attack.
Brian McDermott has also changed things around, making six changes to the team that lost 2-1 at Stoke in Reading's last match. Adam Le Fondre is among those who start, and he my friends knows how to hit the back of the net.

Good evening and welcome to Manchester United's second match in succession against a team whose first three letters are 'Rea'. Last week it was Real Madrid, at the Bernabéu, in the Champions League, tonight it's Reading, at Old Trafford, in the FA Cup. Strap yourselves in and prepare for another dose of epic drama.
Or maybe not, because lets face it, we all know how this one is going to pan out. Reading will run around for a bit, probably play quite well, and may even score. But when that final whistle peeps, United are going to be in the sixth-round of the FA Cup. I know it, you know, angry Arsene Wenger even knows it.
Before Reading supporters email in accusing me of disrespect, let me just point out that your team has won just one of their previous 18 competitive matches against United and none of their seven fixtures at Old Trafford. The hosts are also unbeaten in their last 15 games in all competitions and have won their last eight in a row at home. In other words, there is as much chance of Reading causing an upset as there is of beef turning up in a Findus lasagne.
Anyway, with United likely to rest a few players and Reading always decent value for a goal, we could still be in store for an entertaining, closer-than-expected game, perhaps even one as good as December's league meeting between these sides, which United won 4-3.
A reminder: the winner of this tie will face either Middlesbrough or Chelsea in the next round. If that ends up being Reading, I'll eat my horse.
Team news to come...
Sachin will be here from 7.30pm with live commentary on the FA Cup tie between Manchester United and Reading. In the meantime, why not read Jamie Jackon's preview.
Manchester United are flying as they welcome Reading to Old Trafford. A fine 1-1 draw at Real Madrid on Wednesday evening in the Champions League has given them an edge ahead of the return leg of the last-16 tie, and they also boast a 12-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League. Sir Alex Ferguson's players have begun talking openly of emulating the 1999 treble winners and though firm favourites to knock Reading out of the FA Cup they will be wary of the visitors' ability to claw back results late on after falling behind.
Match pointers
• The last two times that United have beaten Fulham at Old Trafford in the FA Cup (as they did in the last round) they have gone on to win the competition (1999 and 2004)
• This is the third time in the past four years that Reading have reached the fifth round; buth only the eight occasion in their history
• The league game between these sides earlier this season saw seven goals scored in the opening 35 minutes
• United are unbeaten in their past 12 games with Reading in all competitions and have not lost to them in the FA Cup since January 1927
• Adam Le Fondre has scored seven goals in his last seven games for Reading in league and cup

The LL1 Signature looks to be a pretty impressive preamp. The new flagship preamp makes its debut at CES where it will be demoed in tandem with the ML3 Signature amp. It was designed to complement the ML3 directly, but can of course be used with any other appropriate power amplifier.
LAMM Industries says that the LL1 Signature preamplifier is "the ultimate statement of perfection in High-End audio." Perfection may be a bold claim, but LAMM is one of few companies capable of making it. They have some of the most well reviewed products on the market today.
The LL1 is a single-stage preamp that contains two pairs of low impedance triodes that help provide a feedback free operation. It employs Class A operation and utilizes an incredibly short signal path. The LL1 sports an audibly neutral power supply with a choke containing filter designed to eliminate hum and buzz.
Three inputs are available, as well as two outputs which can be switched on and off individually. The LL1 is handcrafted, and is constructed of high quality parts including Bourns TDK stepped multi-turn potentiometers, Hammond chokes, Roderstein film capacitors, and gold plated Neutric connectors. Vibrations are limited thanks to a custom designed damping panel. Suggested retail for the LL1 preamps is $42,690 a pair.

Is It Infringement To Get Your Favorite Sports Team Logo Tattooed On Your Body?
from the maybe... dept
Copyright violation is an easier case to make. (Some contend a fan tattoo would constitute fair use, but I have my doubts.) The main thing is, what team or league would bother? They'd look like bullies, your pockets probably aren't that deep, and it's not like a judge is going to order you to have the tattoo lasered off. Then again, we're talking about professional sports, where conventional logic is out the window.He's right about that last comment. After all, just look at the Washington Redskins, who have sued fans and threatened bloggers. While he hasn't done it yet, it would not surprise me to see Dan Snyder eventually go so far as to sue a fan for having a Redskins tattoo without paying him for the privilege of promoting the team.

In the past the schedules for those sports have been divided into fall and spring, but this time around all of the events are listed. Some of the spring events do have times on them yet, but coaches Kristin Lusk and Andrew Harris will provide them as soon as possible.
The men's team will play its indoor events at Richland Country Club and the women's will play at Whitworth Country Club.
The tennis teams will practice on the new courts this fall and play matches on them this spring.
"The first match on the new courts will probably be March 5 against Campbell, which is also the first Atlantic Sun match of the season.
"I am expecting Campbell to be our first match on the new courts, weather permitting," said Harris. "We all know how touch-and-go the weather can be in March."
There are six new courts on the top of the new parking garage located between the baseball and softball fields. There are six courts on the top of the garage, with seating for 120 fans, and two "feature" courts along the edge of Granny White Pike at the end of the garage. Those courts will provide seating for 150 fans.
Adjacent to the six courts will be a tennis center that will include a pro shop, dressing rooms and a commons area. That part of the facility is not expected to be ready until spring since it is being built in phases.
The new tennis facility will also be the site for the Lipscomb Tennis Academy, which started this summer. The academy features classes for all ages and skill levels from children through adults. Classes will begin for the Fall Aug. 24. Anyone interested in signing up for a class can contact Harris, who is also serving as director of the academy, at 966-7029.

Excerpt from our Windows 8 in Education eBook.
For learners and teachers, one of the major attractions of Windows 8 is its seamless performance across a range of devices – tablets, ultrabooks, notebooks, the various hybrids and 'all-in-ones'.
Windows 8 offers the user a no-compromise, single sign-on experience across all these device types. So, a teacher could start lesson preparation on a staff room PC, then pick up their Windows 8 tablet to continue the same task on the train. Arriving home, they relinquish the tablet to a child with homework to do, and settle down to carry on their work on a family laptop. In each case they've encountered the familiar look, feel and efficiency of their own personalised version of Windows 8.
This potential to move between devices without the distraction of changing operating systems is huge. Learners encounter, wherever they go, the same unified interface with a modern look and feel. The same familiarity will then extend into working life, where Windows is the global operating system of choice.
Our full Windows 8 in Education eBook can be downloaded via our SlideShare account. Alternatively, the eBook can be viewed below.

The Backlash Argument Never DiesComments
Jonathan Rauch (via Sullivan) makes the familiar argument that for the constitutional challenge to Prop 8 to succeed would really be a strategic loss. This is wrong, and if you don't believe me believe Michael Klarman, who started his research sympathetic to arguments like Rauch's and found that the facts just couldn't support them. Indeed, gay and lesbian rights provides a particularly strong example of the fact that there's no way of winning hard-fought changes to the status quo that doesn't generate opposition, and there's no evidence at all that judicial opinions generate more backlash than the commensurate actions of elected officials. The only way to avoid backlash is just not not win anywhere.
A related problem with Rauch's argument is that he greatly overestimates the extent to which changes in public opinion will find themselves manifested in the actions of state legislatures. This is a common issue with similar arguments made about Roe v. Wade. Consider this recent one from Steve M.:
If we could go back, would we want to give up Roe to avoid the anti-abortion backlash, the violence, the relentless chipping away at abortion rights? I'm not sure — haven't the antis chipped away at abortion rights and made abortion effectively legal only in a handful of states, just as it probably would have been without Roe?
Again, this backlash wasn't just about Roe — indeed, the backlash against the initial move towards reform by state legislatures had caused the drive to liberalization to stall completely by 1973. And while the chipping away of abortion rights is indeed a serious problem, there's no way that the situation isn't much better than it was before Roe, when abortion was illegal in 46 states. Abortion being formally legal in all 50 states isn't, in itself, all that is needed, but it beats abortion being illegal in many states (and it's not as if states would have abandoned other regulations had Roe not happened.) As with gay and lesbian rights, the opposition to reproductive freedom was substantive, not procedural.

Ready for your random stat of the day?
Only four teams in NFL history have won 10 consecutive games by seven or more points, the Denver Post reported. Peyton Manning has been the quarterback for two of those teams.
The list:
2005 Indianapolis Colts (13 consecutive games)
1942 Chicago Bears (11)
1997 San Francisco 49ers (10)
2012 Denver Broncos (10)
Manning and the Colts went 14-2, but lost to the Steelers in the divisional round. The Bears were a perfect 11-0 during the regular season, but were upset by Sammy Baugh and the Redskins in the NFL Championship game. The 49ers went 13-3 and lost to Packers in the NFC championship.
Manning is certainly hoping for a better result than the last time he was in this situation. The Broncos have aspirations to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but there shouldn't be too many complaints about conference championship appearance or a trip to the Super Bowl.
History has been pretty good to two of those previous three teams. Manning certainly hopes to improve on what happened in 2005.

LWV agrees with Herald editorial
To the Editor:
Your May 29-June 4 editorial "One primary is better than two," in favor of having a single June primary, is spot on! The League of Women Voters of New York State believes it imperative that the Legislature act to establish a single June primary. This move would both eliminate the unnecessary costs of multiple primary elections and maximize voter participation.
The cost to the counties of New York state is approximately $50 million to hold a separate primary for congressional races in order to comply with the MOVE Act.
The League believes that a single primary is the best way to ensure that voter turnout does not suffer and that our military men and women are not disenfranchised.
A September primary makes it almost impossible for boards of elections to provide military and overseas voters their right to vote on a timely basis. This is unacceptable. Overseas personnel should not be disenfranchised, and New Yorkers do not need the added costs and confusion of an unnecessary third primary date.
An accessible voting process that makes it easier for all citizens to exercise their right to vote is crucial to a vibrant democracy. Though being widely recognized as one of the most progressive states in the nation, New York is lamentably behind most of the country when it comes to making it easier and more convenient for its residents to vote. This must change.
Reforms such as early voting and a single June primary can help make that change. It is incumbent on the Legislature to do all in its power to increase participation, reduce barriers to voting, and further improve the voting experience for all voters of New York. This would be a significant step in the right direction.

My father and I recently traveled to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to visit his sister. He hadn't seen her since their mother's death in 1992, and I hadn't seen her since their father's death in 1982. She's getting older, and doesn't travel much. We didn't travel much either. Seeing as it's a 15-hour drive, it's understandable we don't get together often.
Her adopted son, my cousin, had a baby girl back in 2000 with his then partner. Four years later, my cousin died, leaving that little girl to live with my aunt, her grandmother. It was suggested, and I agreed, that I should bring my grandmother's photo albums along, to help her connect to family she has never met. We spent hours looking through those old pictures, stretching back to the 1880's, hindered only by the attention span of an 11-year-old girl. Many of the photos I've posted came from those albums. I'd always regretted that the negatives for those had been lost, as I knew my grandmother had them for at least most of the photos.
I mentioned this to my aunt. She said, "Wait a minute, I think I have those." After a brief search of a closet, she produced a shoebox full of envelopes marked "Negatives 1916 - 1975". Lo and behold, all these years I had thought them lost, they were sitting in a closet in Wyoming! I have negatives in my possession dating back to 1910! My aunt was happy to turn them over to me, as she had no idea what to do with them, and they were just taking up space in her closet. Also, she wanted them to be passed along to someone who cared about them.
There were a few other goodies, but that will be the subject of a future installment...

Sunshine Coast (Queensland)
Queensland's Sunshine Coast is broadly defined as the beachside towns to the north of Brisbane. Unlike the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast (colloquially the "Sunny Coast") is not just one destination, but a collection of them. A travel experience in Noosa, for example, is likely to be very different from one in Caloundra or Coolum. Behind the coast, in the Blackall Ranges, is the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, with the mountain towns of Maleny and Montville.
Cities and towns
Get in
By car
The Sunshine Coast is between 1 and 2 hours (depending on traffic and exactly where you're going) north of Brisbane by car.
By plane
Sunshine Coast Airport is in Maroochydore and has frequent domestic flights to major Australian capital cities.
By train
Queensland Rail runs the Citytrain service[5], which runs on the North Coast rail line from Brisbane to Landsborough and Nambour, with connecting buses to Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore and Noosa.
Get around
Although the Sunshine Coast has about 300,000 residents, there are very few decent restaurants by average travellers' standards. The bulk of eating experience seems to be meat pies and fish and chips. No wonder Aussies now rank as the most obese population on the planet. The Esplanade on the Mooloolaba waterfront has some nice restaurant but, unfortunately, zoning officials forgot to think ahead and there are large car parking lots between the patios and the ocean. Not that it matters since most meals are quite pricey. Prepare to pay $13 for a basic breakfast of eggs, tomatoes, fatty bacon, and white toast (one slice and never whole wheat). You can bring your own food and use the free community barbecues on the beach for a better experience. Most restaurants are disappointing and really don't care as they have a captive tourist audience for a large part of the year. Of course, out of town visitors all have kitchens in their hotel rooms and are eating in most nights as the restaurants are rarely full. No wonder the tourism industry is stagnant in Australia. One visit is enough.
Stay safe
Get out

Sister Mary Grace taught sixth grade at Christ the King School in Yonkers, N.Y., when she felt like it. Which wasn't often. The rest of the time she told stories.
We aided and abetted. If she pulled out the arithmetic workbook, someone would ask, "Sister, is it easier being a kid today than when you were a kid?"
Being a sister, she would answer that she was never a "kid" because a kid is a goat. "But when I was a child ..." We would lean forward in our desks, trying to get closer to the campfire.
She refused to tell Christmas stories. "There is only one Christmas story," she said. But in a lot of ways, most of her stories were Christmas stories. They always seemed to begin with a "fallen-away" Catholic.
"There was a fallen-away Catholic who was a successful businessman. But he lived for himself and by himself. He was at the station on Friday waiting to catch his train home when another fellow came up beside him.
"'What are you going to do now?' the fellow asked the businessman.
"'I'm going home. What's it to you?' he answered.
"'You sure about that?' the fellow said, and then pointed to the ground.
"And the businessman saw with horror that a body had collapsed right then and there. The body was his," she told us.
Sister loved that kind of stuff and we were in hook, line and sinker.
"And he guided the businessman to a building that looked just like your school," she said, "but with millions of classrooms, each representing one person. In the rooms were candles lit for good deeds. Some rooms were so bright that the businessman had to shade his eyes. But then they came to a room that had only one small candle. That was the businessman's room.
"That candle was lit when the businessman had felt sorry for a cold, lonely child trying to sell newspapers," Sister said. "The businessman had given the child a $10 dollar bill for all his papers. It was the only good act of his life. But the little boy had said a prayer of thanks and this was God's response.
"The businessman said that if he could just get another chance, he would fill that room with candles. The next thing he knew, he was back at the station and the train was pulling up. He hadn't collapsed after all and only a second had gone by. But the man who had guided him to see his one lit candle was nowhere to be seen."
She then paused for dramatic effect. "And Saturday, he went to confession. Sunday he went back to Mass. Monday, he began to feed the hungry."
A hand shot up in back of class. "Who was the businessman's guide?"
"I'm not sure," she said, "but I think his name was Joseph."
Sister always had the best punch lines.
'Tis the season to be cynical. There is so much Christmas mush that has little or nothing to do with the Christmas story. Lifetime Movie Network has more than 50 Christmas movies to broadcast, everything from "Single Santa Meets Mrs. Claus" to "Love at the Christmas Table." Watch all that sugar and your teeth will rot. But then get down to the nub:
"The Christian faith can never be separated from the soil of sacred events, from the choice made by God, who wanted to speak to us, to become man, to die and rise again, in a particular place and at a particular time," Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI wrote in "The Spirit of the Liturgy" (Ignatius, $21.95).
That's Christmas. And that's the story that begins the second chapter of Luke: "In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled ... "
The only Christmas story.
Have a joyful, peaceful and hopeful Christmas!
Robert P. Lockwood writes from Pennsylvania.

Last Thursday evening Chestnut Hill College was oh so close to taking a 2-1 lead in sets against visiting Holy Family University, the undefeated leader in the Southern Division of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
After the teams split the first two sets, the host Griffins approached set point in the third at 24-22, but the Tigers rallied to win 27-25, and then took the fourth frame, 25-19, to wrap up a 3-1 match victory.
This continued a pattern that is both encouraging and frustrating for the Griffins, who have shown that they can be competitive with strong teams but have had trouble nailing down the "W". They slipped to 2-5 in the conference and 7-10 overall with Thursday's outcome, while the Tigers left with a 7-0 mark in the CACC and 10-9 tally against all opponents.
Holy Family took a 5-1 lead in the opening set and was up 13-9 a few minutes later when a kill by sophomore middle Mary Markowski sparked an 11-2 run for CHC. During this stretch another sophomore, Alex DePalma, punched out two kills and scored on a tip, while freshman setter Sidney Chukuntarod found the floor on a well-placed pass.
Chestnut Hill led the rest of the way, closing out the game at 25-22 when a set by Chukuntarod positioned the ball for a quick slam just above the net tape by Markowski.
In the second segment it was the Tigers who would stage a decisive mid-set surge. The visitors were down 5-7, then captured 10 of the next dozen points and remained ahead until a 25-14 final score went in the books. Up front, Holy Family had 6'3" sophomore Sarah Ambach in the middle, but their most dynamic attacker was 5'10" senior outside Jillian Keeve.
The visitors inched ahead 2-0 in the third set, but Chestnut Hill scored the next six points, which included three kill from the right side by Katherine Tohanczyn. The senior co-captain underscored her credo ("You don't mess with the Tohan") by batting down three more balls during the game.
The Tigers recovered a few points, but in the middle of the set CHC led 13-7, with DePalma scoring on a clever tip and making a great dig in the back, while Markowski registered a kill. After that, several errors by the Griffins helped Holy Family trim its deficit, and the score leveled out at 19-19.
The Tigers then pulled ahead, 22-20, but turned the ball over with a serve into the net. Sophomore Sarah Mattaliano stepped to the service line for CHC, which got a block from Markowski and DePalma to tie the set. A true service ace to the right rear sector of the HFU court moved the hosts ahead, then a Markowski kill in the middle got the Griffins to set point at 24-22.
Visiting freshman Devyn Ingram scored on a hit off of a CHC block to break the CHC string. After the Tigers went up 25-24, Chestnut Hill extended the game as Chukuntarod tipped the ball over the front row to score, but the Tigers secured the next two points to win 27-25.
The Griffins did not fold their tents in the fourth round, staying even up to 9-9. However, junior co-captain and middle hitter Cassie Benson had left the court with an injury just eight points into the set. Breaking the deadlock, Holy Family took command with a 10-2 surge and the home team was unable to recover. The Tigers prevailed, 25-19, to wrap up the match.
For the evening, Tohanczyn topped the CHC hit parade with 11 kills, closely followed by DePalma and Markowski with 10 apiece. Chukuntarod passed out a total of 29 assists, and junior libero Liz DiGregorio gutted out 26 digs. Holy Family was led in the kill zone by Keeve (14), Ambach (13), and Ingram (10), who all benefitted from Chelsea Keegan's 38 assists.

For our November issue, computer scientist, musician, writer and thinker Jaron Lanier wrestled with these questions at length. After he was done we gave him a call to talk about his main points.

Taken from a hands-on session with the game, here's an Assassin's Creed III hiccup that we can only hope makes it into the final game.
UPDATE—Seems it's part of the game's debug mode, which lets the devs get around the map quickly.
It's an unfair advantage, sure, but this is a sci-fi series at heart. Who's to say the Assassins haven't found a way to turn 18th-century killers into aerial chicken dance murderers?
UPDATE—Ubisoft has removed the video. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Microsoft Hires Key Anti-Google FTC Lawyer To Be Its New Chief Anti-Google Lobbyist
from the paying-a-little-too-much-attention-to-the-competition dept
Either way, Microsoft appears to be stepping up its "saddle Google with antitrust charges" battle by hiring Randall Long from the FTC. Long was the key "anti-Google" lawyer within the FTC, who led multiple antitrust investigations into Google, and recommended that the FTC block Google's acquisition of AdMob (something he was outvoted on). Microsoft doesn't even seem to want to hide the fact that his role will be to lobby politicians in DC to hit Google with antitrust charges. The WSJ's report on the hiring is pretty explicit:
As part of his new job, Mr. Long will likely continue those efforts before the FTC and other agencies, a person familiar with the matter said.Of course, if Long actually follows the rules, he shouldn't be allowed to do anything concerning any FTC investigations into Google for quite some time. The ethics rules are pretty clear -- even barring "behind-the-scenes" help on such investigations:
Except as provided in this section, or otherwise specifically authorized by the Commission, no former member or employee ("former employee" or "employee") of the Commission may communicate to or appear before the Commission, as attorney or counsel, or otherwise assist or advise behind-the-scenes, regarding a formal or informal proceeding or investigation...That certainly suggests that Long cannot and should not "continue those efforts before the FTC" for some time. Either way, it's yet another example of the questionable revolving door between government and the private sector, where ex-government officials end up in roles that have a very close connection to their former government role (or vice versa). Even assuming that Long follows all the rules, as I'm sure he intends to do, this kind of thing just looks really bad.

Major Political Donors Have Access to TPP Documents. Everyone Else? Not So Much
from the shockingly-unshocking dept
So how does one get onto ITAC 15? It's not easy. Lawyer Andrew Bridges (whose name you might recognize) sought to get onto ITAC 15 as one of the country's foremost experts on copyright law and its impact on innovation and startups. He was nominated... but denied. But who does get on there? According to MapLight's analysis, it helps to be a major corporate donor to political campaigns:
- The 18 organizations represented by ITAC-15 gave nearly $24 million to current members of Congress from Jan. 1, 2003 - Dec. 31, 2012.
- AT&T has given more than $8 million to current members of Congress, more than any other organization represented by ITAC-15.
- House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has received $433,350 from organizations represented by ITAC-15, more than any other member of Congress.
- Democrats in Congress have received $11.4 million from organizations represented by ITAC-15, while Republicans in Congress have received $12.6 million.
- The members of Congress sponsoring fast-track legislation, which would allow the President to block Congress from submitting amendments to the TPP, have received a combined $758,295 from organizations represented by ITAC-15. They include Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus ($140,601), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Members Orrin Hatch ($178,850), House Ways and Means Committee Chairman David Camp ($216,250), House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade Chairman Devin Nunes ($86,000), and House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions ($136,594).

Yesterday I had the honor of being awarded the versatile blogger award by Melinda of Inspiration Earth. If you consider yourself earth-friendly and you are still not following Melinda, you definitely should be! She is one of the most peaceful and eco conscious bloggers I have "met", plus she won my very first giveaway and now has one of my felted bracelets, which means she is totally lucky as well! So go check out her green musings, I am sure you will find something that suits you.
Because of that award, today I am giving you a self-portrait. I will not be answering my handmade interview questions, instead I will follow the rules of the Versatile Blogger Award, which are:
- Thank and link back to the person who nominated you.
- Share seven random facts about yourself.
- Pass the award along to five deserving bloggy buddies.
- Contact those buddies to congratulate them.

Nowadays I listen to the books because it allows me to do something else in the meantime and as you know, we women are very good at multi tasking. So I peacefully knit or crochet, or cook while listening to a lovely book.
|Photo: kanelstrand
After overcoming my initial fears and prejudices, I set on the path of creating with yarn. There followed months and years of extreme joy, however strange it may sound. Two of the major things I love about knitting are the fact that I can always start over and the meditation-like experience I get out of it.
|Photo: kanelstrand
3. I never go out of the house without my camera. I see life in frames always, all the time everywhere. We are a photo family, take it as you will. My husband and I are always documenting and have found out that keeping a visual diary is not only less time consuming but very appealing. In this way we can easily keep our extended family in track with our adventures. Our friends have already learned and accepted the ritual of placing the tripod in front of the festive table and the process of first taking the pictures and then eating! You can view some of my photography here.

4. Actually, I am a poet as well. I wrote my first poem at the age of 6 and ever since I have been sleeping with a notebook and a pen by my bed, so that I can write down the verses that come to me while dreaming. My mother, once she became aware of my talent, signed me on a poetry course and I spent 2 years of learning the theory behind writing poetry. All the knowledge I acquired at the course has become a part of me and I have been able to create freely and theoretically correctly ever since. I take extreme pleasure in reading Emily Dickinson.
|Photo: kanelstrand
5. I used to have an extremely stressful life in the big city, basically hardly making through the day for about 10 years. Working as a manager of a major private school I had to overcome a lot of weaknesses and fears of mine but thankfully, the work with children is extremely rewarding and charging. I am glad that I moved on to a peaceful and stress-free lifestyle which helped me remember the artistic and creative sides of myself and hear my thoughts more clearly.
|Photo: kanelstrand
6. For the past 6 years, thanks to my husband I have lived between 3 Scandinavian countries - Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and I feel very much enriched and changed. Of course, it is a childhood dream of mine to travel and get to know the world but I have never imagined that I will get headaches from the intense beauty I see around.
|Photo: kanelstrand
7. I am a sports person and I am crazy about skiing. It is the closest experience I have had to flying. I love to experiment and work on my style, I love how the snow squeaks and glistens under my skis and I love the fresh cold air and the sun in the mountains. Luckily for me I am now living in the land of skiing, where they say people are born with skis on their feet.
So, these were 7 random facts about me. The award goes from me to:
Melissa from Bubby and Bean
Alessandra from Lala's Tribal Times
Renathe from Renathe's Blog
Annette from So Many Memories

I've always loved the hand harness but I can never find one that properly fits me... So I made my own! People say you can accomplish a lot when you put your mind into it, but I say you can accomplish even more when your boyfriend is out of town.
Here Are The Steps
1. You would need some chains, open rings, and the usual jewelry- making tools.
2. Measure and cut out a piece of chain to fit around your wrist and a piece to go on your back hand around the middle finger.
3. Start attaching chains onto the piece with open rings. This would be easier if you have someone (with your hand size) sit there while you attach and adjust the chains accordingly.
4. And you are done!
(Optional) Add a ring for your middle finger wonderment... Because if you're planning to flip a trick off at the bar and sashay out of there, then at least do it in a stylish way.

Nobel Laureate Douglass North to Give Rogge Lectureby Karen Handley • September 14, 2006 Share:
Wabash College invites you to hear Nobel Laureate Douglass C. North present the 2006 Benjamin A. Rogge Memorial Lecture. Dr. North's lecture, "The Natural State or Why Effective Economic Reform is so Difficult to Achieve," will be presented on Friday, October 6 at 5:00 p.m. in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
North is the Spencer T. Olin Professor in Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. He was co-recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1993.
North has published groundbreaking work in economic history and theory, including The Rise of the Western World: A New Economic History, Structure and Change in Economic History and Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance. North is recognized as one of the founders of the "new institutional economics," and has done important work on the connection of the cognitive sciences to economic theory.
North's appointment at Washington University follows 32 years at the University of Washington at Seattle, where he was director of the Institute for Economic Research for five years and chairman for 12 years. He was the Peterkin Professor of Political Economics at Rice University in the fall of 1979, Pitt Professor at Cambridge University in England in 1981–82, and a visiting fellow of the center for Advanced Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University in 1987–88. He was editor of the Journal of Economic History for five years and president of the Economic History Association in 1972. He was a 20-year member of the Board of Directors of the National Bureau of Economic Research until 1986.
North received his B.A. in 1942 and his Ph.D. in 1952 from the University of California at Berkeley. He also served as a U.S. Merchant Marine from 1942 to 1946 and was an instructor in celo-navigation from 1944 to 1946.
In addition to his evening lecture, North will give a lunch time talk on "Cognitive Foundations of Social Science" at 1:10 p.m. in Baxter Hall, room 114.
North's lecture is free and open to the public. This annual event honors the late Wabash College professor of economics, Benjamin Rogge.

EP!C Growth
By Matt Hawkins
March 11, 2014
As a sophomore English major, Rachel Zolfo '14 faced a crossroads: stay a shy, academic on life's sideline or let a quiet passion for service drag her into the campus leadership spotlight. She chose to face fears and stepped into a leadership role that changed her career path.
Zolfo spent her sophomore year coordinating charity campaigns for service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. The experience helped her overcome public speaking fears and opened her eyes to new career opportunities. That personal growth led her to pursue a marketing degree and enabled her to excel as a part-time marketing staffer at Peoria-based EP!C, a Peoria-based organization that serves people with disabilities.
"It changed everything. Normally I'm so shy and keep to myself. I realized I have valuable things to say," she said of her APO work. "It made me come out of my shell. I came out a totally different person. I never thought I would do something like that in college."
Madeline Smith, vice-president of marketing and public relations at EP!C, saw Zolfo's potential and pushed her to develop skills the past two years.
"I saw what she could bring to the table and now she's identifying with that," Smith said. "She's a completely different person. She didn't have a lot of confidence because she didn't have a lot of experience. Now, she made the difference here and can see it. That's given her a total boost of confidence."
The past two years also stoked a passion to advocate for her newfound friends with disabilities.
Zolfo waded into the leadership role when she recommended APO switch its primary charity to charity: water, a nonprofit that builds wells in developing nations.
She dove into an unexpected summer of growth when she landed the EP!C internship after her sophomore year. As the formal internship neared its end, Zolfo developed a pitch to stay onboard, not realizing the organization wanted to keep her.
"I knew I wanted to keep her but I thought I'd have to convince her," Smith said. "The way in which she requested to stay on was more support she could be here. She showed me she had the ability to do more than she'd ever done before."
Zolfo now is a marketing and public relations specialist who manages an internship program she initiated. By virtue of hiring Bradley interns to start the program, Zolfo finds herself supervising classmates and fellow APO members.
Looking back on the college journey, Zolfo recognized the impact of caring Bradley faculty on the surprising twists. She recalled economics professor Dr. Bob Weinstein and his wife attending one of her first fundraisers for charity: water.
That incident, like many others along the way, showed her the positive mark of the Bradley community.
"The thing that drew me to Bradley was that professors don't just care about you as students but as people," she said. "I've seen it countless times."
By engaging faculty and taking advantage of life's surprises, Zolfo transformed an introverted freshman into a calm, articulate senior. The journey's twists shaped her passions and prepared her for a career working for nonprofits.
"By accident, I ended up in the right place," she said. "From an artsy, creative background, marketing is so creative. I do so much with design that I use the skills I had as a child for my job."

Heating and cooling system
The heating pump
Heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces and air conditioners using electricity to move heat from a cool space into a warm, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer.
How it works
- Water and non-toxic additives circulate into geothermal exchangerbelow ground
- The warmed liquid flow through an exchanger (evaporator) heating a refrigerant that evaporate
- The refrigerant is compressed by a DC scroll compressor increasing his temperature
- The heat is donated via a second exchanger (condenser) to the heating and sanitary waters
- The pressure of the refrigerant is lowered by an expansion valve. Than it return to the evaporator unit to get new energy from the warm water from the underground
- The internal heating systems can be of any type (floor pipes, radiators, electric fan or air units)
- In the case of reversible heating pump the cycle is the opposite i.e. heat is pumped out
- The cooling is done linking the thermal exchangers to the internal system or inverting the running cycle of the machine
- In the case of air-water heating pump, the exchangers (radiators type) are located in an outside unit where a fan pump the air to convey heat to the circuit

I know I'm a little late to the party on this, but I still want to spread the love on "Girl Walk//All Day" created by Jacob Krupnick and Anne Marsen. This is a music video that slowly became a full length film. The director met the main dancer, Anne Marsen, at an audition he was holding and was so inspired by her unique style that he created a separate project for her. There's something about Marsen that seems to perfectly embody the current zietgeist. She is trained, yet loose; sublime, yet street. She is a hybrid born of 2012. Watch the entire clip to really get the full flavor of her immense talent.
