Time to Buy These 3 Commodities
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
By David Sterman
NEW YORK ( StreetAuthority) -- When it comes to commodities, there are two factors that dictate prices. The first factor is the underlying demand for the commodity, which can exceed or lag relative supply. The second factor is the technical picture, which is in focus for global investment-bank desks, which simply respond to the direction of a price of a commodity while paying little attention to the fundamental forces in place.
Right now, it's the latter factor ruling the markets. Many commodities are being dragged down by technical factors as losing sessions beget more losing sessions. As a result, silver, platinum and copper have all been sucked down, each trading more than one standard deviation below their 50-day moving average. On a technical basis, this "oversold" condition usually is a considered a "buy" signal. Come to think of it, the fundamental picture also means it's also time to buy. Let's take a closer look at silver, copper and platinum.
|There are several ways to play a rebound in copper.
SilverMining firm Coeur D'Alene Mines Corporation ( CDE ) is always a solid play on silver when the metal is in an oversold state. I made a pair of suggested trades on this stock earlier this year. Back in January, I thought it looked undervalued at $22. But in April, I thought the stock had run too far too fast -- up to $35, and suggested profit-taking (or even possibly shorting the stock).

Felix von der Weppen was born in 1987 and lives in Berlin. His artworks mainly circle the human relation and interaction with space in western society and its handling of transitoriness, which he sees as a deeply connected dialecitc unit he aims to examine, challenge and playfully interact with.
His latest series Ornament and Concealment focuses on the city as a concrete example, where both preservation and modernization attempts are examined as rather symbolic and ritualistic tactics to prevent loss on multiple levels, contrasting the idea of the West as a materialistic and enlightened progress-oriented society.
Mixing documentary with symbolic Elements, works include and sometimes assemble film, photography, writing, sculptures and installations.
In 2012 he founded the design studio Manufaktur für Ungreifbares through which he aims to maintain and extend a more direct, less representational interaction with his environment. Borders between these two spheres of practice are constantly shifting.

kontinuum is a cycle in three parts: Anticipation, Manifestion and Reflection. The longing for one's object of desire is replaced by a complete absorption and ends with the disappointing realization of not having fulfilled one's aspirations. As soon as we arrive, the moment turns into history. We are left with a void. A cycle that repeats itself endlessly. The images here, culled from a dancer's sweeping actions, try to preserve these moments. But this only remains an effort and is set up for failure. With each step the dancer erases what has previously been established. Each move builds and transforms the ground she walks on. Each trace is replaced by another.

Architecture is often used and invoked as the central hallmark of modernization. Cities around the world are rapidly redefining themselves through their architecture in a bid to capture some part of that elusive essence that is "the modern city". Simultaneously, the attempt to define a local identity in the midst of an international architectural identity leads to a strange emphasis on conservation. Despite this, the materials and tools used to construct and preserve them mainly stay the same. Physically and symbolically they make up one of the most constant elements to our time. Ironically it is structures, ones that were, in and of themselves, intended as a transitional state, who act as relics of a perpetual present within the constantly shifting modern urban environment.
In the midst of modernization, taking the risk of letting go appears to be an almost radical act. Ornament and Concealment aimed to lead the viewer into the very nature of this contradiction, creating an atmosphere of shelter and defenselessness. Instead of a backup preventing a possible future blackout, the installation directed the gaze to a black box of an accident which never happened, but continuously happens.

The heads are castings from a sculpture which was created following the appearance of Shakespeare's Ophelia and L'Inconnue de la Seine ('the unknown woman of the Seine'). They are being placed in puddles in the city after heavy rain, which are ideally not big enough to contain an entire human body, opening up an imaginary space beneath the city's surface. So far they have been placed in Berlin and Paris.

As we are getting closer to the realization of authentic virtual reality, simulations which merely stimulate the brain, the development of authentic physical simulations is emerging. Programmable matter, swarms of tiny robots, will very likely be able to take on any color and shape, enabling environments of constant transition. If successful both developments will have fundamental effects on our behaviour and relation to the world as well as to each other.
Monades 2.0 began with the rather tiny question of how small and simple structured devices, mere spheres with a set of programmable magnets, could move around in space. Attempts to solve this problem led to a behaviour which strongly reminds of organic organisms, leaving us with the enigmatic mixed feelings of unease and wonder, similar to what is known as the uncanny valley effect.

Winter as catalyst for the recoding of the public domain—Winter, especially snow, carries the potential to clear public spaces from an overload of information and societal codes. which often, by their distinctiveness, limit citizens in their behavior and reduce them to sheer consumers of goods, events and images. In addition, low temperatures put people of all classes and income on an approximately equal level. Everyone shares the experience of freezing, longing for a warm place and sunlight. This project aims to unlock winter's potential for the reappropriation of the public space and to generate pro-urban, productive friction through encounter.
Warming up and sharing a cup of tea with strangers—The houses are moved to public spaces throughout the city, inviting everyone to pause, share tea and thoughts with strangers. The project travels like a nomadic camp to and through various cities.
Material and Design—Thermal blankets are normally used for providing first aid in open space and by homeless people to keep warm outside, meanwhile the same material is used for the furthest outreach of human activity: space programmes and satellites. The design aims to amplify this contradictory notion in two ways. On the one hand by using supporting structures made of square timber for simple cabins. These are combined with thermal foil as an effective, low-cost and high-tech solution for isolation. And on the other hand treating the overly complex urban condition by responding to our most basic needs: warmth and shelter through the pre-civilisatory invention of a centered hearth.

"That from which is everything that exists and from which it first becomes and into which it is rendered at last, its substance remaining under it, but transforming in qualities, that they say is the element and principle of things that are. … For it is necessary that there be some nature (φύσις), either one or more than one, from which become the other things of the object being saved … Thales the founder of this type of philosophy says that it is water." — In this quote Aristotle describes Thales' assertion of water being the principle of all things. According to Aristotle Thales was the first philosopher asking the question of the primal ground of all things. Heraclitus states that Thales drew this conclusion from looking at the various states of aggregation.
This work links the various associations that come up when thinking about the further development of greek philosophy, especially Plato's theory of Forms, and Greek art with the fact that since the 1950s humans have created materials and forms, which can potentially last forever. By ending up in oceans and being ground to nano particles plastics and other synthetic materials might accidentally become constitutive element and natural environment for any further biological development.

"Originally created for the 247-group show 'Telephone', the Chocolate Slavery series highlights the reality of child slavery in Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) where an estimated 50% of the world's chocolate is grown."[1]
"Cote d'Ivoire is the leading exporter of cocoa beans to the world market. Yet the horrendous conditions under which enslaved children toil on the cocoa farms of the Cote d'Ivoire is juxtaposed with the idea that the cocoa will ultimately end up producing something that most people associate with happiness and pleasure – chocolate."[2]
Like flower trading and mining for gold and diamonds, chocolate slavery illustrates the dialectical nature of consumerist society. All of these examples are widely used to express love and compassion while there is harm and suffer at their very root.

Pankaj Advani, rated as the 'Golden Boy' of Indian cue sports by several experts, is set to spearhead the Indian challenge in the IBSF World snooker championship beginning here on Saturday.
"Well, any IBSF world snooker championship is always a very tough proposition. It is unpredictable and it all depends on how high you can raise the bar, especially in the knock-out phase," says the former champion in an interview to The Hindu.
"Definitely, I could have won atleast once more after my maiden world snooker title in 2003. But I feel that I made some mistakes in the quarterfinals of the last edition and even in 2004. It is imperative to be highly consistent right through," explains the 24-year-old, who completed a rare double by wining the world billiards title in both points and time-frame formats.
Feeling 'at home'
"Probably, the Hyderabad edition could be the best chance for me to win again. Psychologically I feel at home, and have a lot of confidence," says the star cueist who has also won the world amateur snooker and the billiards titles earlier.
"The Chinese should be a formidable force. The Europeans are always a threat and of late cueists from UAE are doing really well," explains Advani. "I don't want to hazard any guesses on my prospects in the World championship. I want to take it match by match."
"My preparations have been good. We (all Indian cueists) should have learnt from the experience of the recent Asian Indoor Games and we are determined to make use of the 'home' advantage here."
The event will also have Advani's 'guru' Arvind Savur in action. How does Advani feel about this? "Oh! It should be great. Arvind uncle has five times more experience than me. And it is great that the entire cue sports fraternity will be playing. Moreover there will be well-wishers wanting you to perform well. But there will also be pressure. So, it works both ways," he says.
The World snooker championship in India is likely to generate a lot of interest and draw more newcomers to the sport," he says on the benefits of hosting the event.
"May be, the perception has to change to a great extent. We have won so many medals. If someone wins a major event, he or she has to be recognised. Like cricketers any sportsperson works really hard to achieve that result.
"I must say that there is a big change already. Many youngsters in different sports are really hungry and doing well in the international circuit," he says.

Master data management (MDM), data quality (DQ), and data governance (DG) are among the most widely adopted data management disciplines of recent years. That's because all three are critical success factors for important business activities, such as business intelligence, 360-degree views of customers, operational excellence, supply chain optimization, regulatory reporting, compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and treating data as an enterprise asset. Master data, quality, and governance will become increasingly mission critical as more and more organizations compete via consistent, clean, and compliant data.

ACTIVE Network And SGMA Reveal Secrets To Inspiring A More Active America
ACTIVE Network and the Sporting Goods Manufacturing Association (SGMA) today released the "2012 Grassroots Sports Participation Study Executive Summary," a preview of a three-part study they jointly conducted to understand the driving forces behind activity and sports participation and inspire a healthier population.
According to the 2012 Sports, Fitness and Recreational Activities Participation study from the Physical Activity Council, 68.2 million Americans are completely inactive. Conversely, ACTIVE Network knows people want to be more fit—according to its 2012 Consumer Segmentation study, 81 percent of the U.S. population desires to be active in some way. Yet, it's clear that a large portion of this group has yet to act on this desire.
"Americans want to be more active, but have a hard time prioritizing activity," said Kristin Carroll, vice president of corporate and consumer marketing at ACTIVE Network. "We have taken a very comprehensive look at what motivates sports participation and what drives people to dropout. With this study, we aim to provide a roadmap to demonstrate how parents, activity organizers and sporting goods manufacturers can take action to help create a more active America."
The Youth/Teen and Adult studies shed light on the key motivators and blockers that lead people to both start and cease participation in sports and activities, examines how parents, organizers and manufacturers can encourage activity and provides a framework for these three groups to capitalize on consumer sentiment throughout the participation journey. Some key findings and insights include:
- Fun is a chief motivating factor for youths and teens, with 92 and 88 percent of respondents, respectively, pointing to fun as their reason for participating. However, less than 33 percent of adult respondents selected fun as a motivator for health or fitness. Adults are downplaying fun in their activities and are much less active as a result.
- Adults must become more active to inspire future generations—the data shows a direct correlation between the number of activities parents participate in and the number of sports and activities in which their children are involved. For example, 85 percent of parents with children participating in two or more activities indicated they participate in six sports or activities themselves.
- Key blockers for starting and continuing activities in adulthood is a lack of social support and "other priorities"—35 percent of respondents indicated that not knowing anyone else doing an activity limited their desire to participate. This data underscores a key opportunity for activity organizers to grow participation by making events more inherently social—and more fun.
- Adults aren't committing their pocketbooks to actual participation—youth spending on event registration and facility fees is 20% greater than spending on apparel and footwear combined. Adult spending is the opposite, however. This report shows that while the adult apparel and footwear market is certainly crowded, it isn't translating to more active Americans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say R&B singer-songwriter Robin Thicke has been arrested on a minor drug charge in New York City.
The 34-year-old is the son of Alan Thicke, who played patriarch Jason Seaver on the long-running ABC sitcom "Growing Pains." He was arrested early Friday afternoon in Manhattan near Madison Square Park. Police say he was pulled over and they saw a joint inside his black SUV. He was given a desk appearance ticket and released.
His publicist had no comment.
Thicke has written and produced songs for Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera and others. He also began recording songs himself, and his 2009 hit "Sex Therapy" was at the top of the R&B charts. His fifth album, Love After War, was released in December.

Patriotic Yarn Wreath
By: Joey Bailey from Created in AWE
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Show your pride during the next patriotic holiday with a simple decorative wreath. This craft uses yarn, so it's easy to work with and allows you to put your own festive touches on it.
- 3 skeins of yarn, in White, Lipstick, and Bright Blue, in I Love This Yarn, Sport Weight
- 14" green floral wreath
- 1 piece of white felt
- Scissors
- A black sharpie
- Paper scrap
- Scrap of ribbon
- Measuring tape
- Tacky glue
Create a pattern for the stars with scrap paper. Mine have a little character, mostly because I couldn't cut out a perfect star if my life depended on it!
Then use your pattern to cut stars out of the felt. My stars were about 1" and allowed for 7 to be placed on the wreath. Space them out as you choose and glue in place.
Begin by measuring the circumference of the wreath. This one is 44". Measure one section to be 1/4 of the total wreaths and mark it. This is the blue section. I chose my remaining, stripes, section to be split into 3" stripes giving me 11 stripes. Measure each strip along the outside edge and mark each stripe.
At the end of the stripe place a dot of glue on the back and cut the yarn about 3/4" past the dot of glue and tuck the end under the last pass or 2.
Take the white, also tucking the the end under the last passes, lay it through the glue, and repeat as with the red.
And finally, end with the blue in the last section as with the stripes.
Measure a piece of ribbon for hanging the wreath.
Tip: take the ends of the ribbon and run them carefully against a candle flame to seal them from fraying. This pic shows how close to get the ribbon to the flame. Any closer and it will turn black.
Tie a small knot and glue the knot against the back of the wreath at the top edge of the blue section and first stripe.

Twitter Users Show Support For Wikileaks, Create More Than 500 Mirrors
As its servers were shutdown by Amazon, its accounts removed by PayPal and its domain name taken away by everydns.net, WikiLeaks turned to the Twitter community to maintain its presence on the web.
While Wikileaks.org has been offline for several days now due to a hacking attempt and then officially pulled by host everydns.net, Twitter has helped to make sure that the recently released cables are still available online – on over 500 mirrored websites.
The official WikiLeaks Twitter account posted the following message on Saturday night, after it had undergone a series of attacks and saw its Amazon and PayPal support crumble:
#imwikileaks is a reference to the movie V for Vendetta, in which several thousand Londoners don the now infamous Guy Fawkes mask and watch in solidarity as the parliament building is blown up. The hashtag represents a symbolic anonymity and unity with WikiLeaks.
Using this hashtag, hundreds of Twitter users posted links to mirrored WikiLeaks sites. Yesterday afternoon, the official WikiLeaks site began compiling these links on the WikiLeaks Mirrors site, acknowledging 18 hours ago that 208 mirrors had been set up. This number has risen to 507 as of about 12pm, EST. ***UPDATE*** As of December 721:55 GMT there are now 1005 mirrors
This illustrates the huge groundswell of support that WikiLeaks generates on Twitter. Through just a handful of tweets, the organization was able to mobilize supporters to create over 500 mirrors, which will make it increasingly difficult for the US or other government to shut down the website permanently. Twitter appears to be a safe haven for WikiLeaks – at least for now.

Photographing a Rainy Morning in Jackson Hole
This past summer, much of my inspiration shifted from the Jackson Hole valley floor to much higher elevations found up in the mountains. While the higher elevations had always been significant motivation for me, this past season saw that motivation become much more pronounced, weening my inspiration away from the roadsides. In addition, there's also my upcoming TEDxJacksonHole talk and completing my short film on light pollution, both of which demanded a large chunk of my time, forcing me to drastically reduce my work with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris. However, though my days are limited at the moment, I had a recent trip with exceptional opportunities found throughout the valley with a delightful pair of other photographers.
We were off well before sunrise in a downpour that showed no signs of letting up.

Fall Colors Near Shadow Mountain
With several projects going on right now, I was able to find time to take a little afternoon escape into some fall colors of Jackson Hole. I headed over to the Shadow Mountain area, along the eastern boundary of Grand Teton National Park, and began hiking around the game trails to guide me through the meadows and aspen groves.
I had hoped to hike up part of Shadow Mountain as well, where even more bright colors were waiting, no doubt with tremendous views below, but I found the few hours I had to play at the base plenty to satisfy my craving to get outdoors. Since it had been almost three weeks since I last hiked, it was a welcome break from sitting at the computer and running around town.

A New Year's Resolution You Can Actually Keep
Fog lifts around the Teton Mountains and above East Gros Ventre Butte as seen from the National Elk Refuge near Jackson, Wyoming.
Many people have made New Year's Resolutions, and most won't be kept. The problem with the average New Year's Resolution is that it's such a drastic departure from a normal routine that it becomes very easy to break. In most cases, it also comes at a cost that most people don't want to experience: cutting out sugar; waking up much earlier to run; etc. Without seeing much evidence for any immediate change, old habits revert back to a natural routine. What if you could adapt a New Year's Resolution that not only brought about noticeable change, but actually made you feel better? We've all experienced that feeling of invincibility, where nothing could bring us down. What if that feeling, where no matter what someone said we were still flying high, could become the norm?

Finding What You Love on the Road
My first leg of this trip was spent in the vast, open prairie expanses of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan. The days consistently offered nothing more than gray skies, harsh winds, and biting cold mornings. I spent a bit of one of the later afternoons at the badlands of the east block when I immediately became ready to make an early departure for either Moose Mountain or Duck Mountain Provincial Parks. I ultimately decided to wait out the drive for one more night.
Upon awakening the next morning, I saw the moon shining brightly over one horizon and to the other, early daylight cresting the hills. Eager to exploit a potentially clear sunrise, I preformed a quick morning routine, got dressed, and stepped outside only to find that there would be no sunrise.

How I Shot It – Bull Moose in Snow Storm
One of the trickiest times to photograph wildlife is during a snowstorm. The bright, white snowflakes distract many auto-focus mechanisms on lenses no matter how expensive the glass. Thanks to a bit of modern technology though, there is a more reliable work-around than manually focusing, provided you have an animal that is not moving too quickly.
In the case of this bull moose during a winter storm, I had been attempting to get an auto-focused shot of him, but the snow was so thick, shots were being lost as the snow continued to fall quite heavily. The Canon 7D, along with most newer cameras, have the ability to switch to a live-view mode. By using this feature, I had turned it on showing a preview of the scene, zoomed in by a factor of 10, and was able to get a much more reliable focus of the moose in just a few seconds.

Software Most Popular Sector For European Venture Investment In Third Quarter This Year
LONDON, Oct. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Venture-backed companies based in Europe raised just over €1 billion through 216 venture capital deals during the third quarter of 2012, an 11% decrease in capital raised and a 22% decline in deals from the same period last year, according to Dow Jones VentureSource.
Information Technology received the largest investment allocation of any industry during the third quarter with a 31% share, showing the only gains of the quarter when compared with the same period last year. The industry accumulated €314 million, an increase of 50%, though deal flow was down 27%, with 59 deals completed during the period. The software sector remained the most popular investment area, raising €164 million through 42 deals during the third quarter, a 26% increase in investment albeit with a drop of 31% in deals completed.
"With European fundraising on track to surpass 2011 figures, we're anticipating that companies will continue to attract more financing", said Anne Malterre, European research manager, Dow Jones VentureSource. "At the moment, investors are being cautious due to the pressure of limited partners waiting for their returns, but we see the renewed trust in the information technology and consumer services industries, as well as early-stage companies, as a positive sign."
During the third quarter, 31 European venture-backed companies were acquired, a 39% drop in deals from the same period last year, and two companies went public, compared to three in the third quarter of 2011.Through the first nine months of this year, venture capital investment totaled €3.34 billion for 805 deals, a 6% decrease in capital and 10% fall in deals from the year-ago period. Consumer Information Services Sector Helps Bolster Consumer Services Industry Consumer Services, the leading industry for capital invested during the second quarter, dropped to second place this time around, raising €256 million through 58 deals, a decline of 18% in amount invested and 2% in the number of deals completed compared with the same period last year. A total of 43% of the capital collected by the Consumer Services industry went to the Consumer Information Services sector, compared to the 33% share the sector garnered during the same period last year, but well below the 63% allocation the sector received during the last quarter.

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision. We seek to provide all the information about vacuum cleaning systems and various replacement parts including vacuum filters which you can use to extend the life of your vacuum cleaner for several years.

Didn't the teacher notice one was missing ? Ick ! Ah come on Broomie…it can't replace good ole pbj's….
Oye??? Broomie's got her own dissecting kit?
Poor Nerwin….He's just learned,and nothing to do with school; that honesty may not always be the best policy.
My lab partner in high school was a particularly squeamish girl who freaked out about EVERYTHING. When we were doing the dissection, I smacked my lips and said "It'd probably taste better cooked". She barfed right then and there.
Regrets. I've had a few.
But not this time.
Are trolls immune to the formaldehyde in which dissection frogs are preserved?
Comic Strip characters are immune to just about everything
Roadkill on a bun!
Didn't the teacher notice one was missing ? Ick ! Ah come on Broomie…it can't replace good ole pbj's….
Tuna wraps make it for me.
In some areas, frogs' legs are considered a delicacy.
Paris, France immediately comes to mind.
But I thought frog's legs tasted like chicken.
My dear wife told me that after biology class at the University of Michigan, they cooked up the legs and ate them. She still loves to eat what I call garden pests. Escargot, etc.
I didn't mind the dissection of the amphibians in high school, I was trying to impress a cute blonde girl. It didn't work.
After my time in the service years ago, I dont hunt or fish anymore. I dont deny it to those who love to do so, but it is not for me.
The rambling old Sarge
But chicken really tastes like frog legs.
well nerwin u put ur foot in ur mouth.
Serves u right
lets hope he doesnt eats feet
Dissection critters are no longer chemically preserved as many kids are sensitive to them and can have serious reactions they are flash frozen immediately after being humanly euthanized.
I order rats by the case to feed my reptiles from a biology supplies house just thaw them out before feeding time . Never mind kids today would steal the formaldehyde to smoke .

Another Big Setback for the Far Right on Texas State Board of Education
Last night's State Board of Education elections marked another big step toward an end to the culture wars in Texas public school classrooms. With the defeat of incumbent Charlie Garza, R-El Paso, the state board's faction of far-right ideologues should be smaller next year than at any time since before the 2006 elections. Zooming out […]

SBOE Campaign Finance Reports
All Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) seats are up for election this year, but so far there's not a lot of money flowing into those campaigns. Nearly all SBOE candidates have now filed their July 1, 2011-December 31, 2011, campaign finance reports with the Texas Ethics Commission. Some non-surprises: Geraldine "Tincy" Miller, R-Dallas, is […]

SBOE Candidate: Carlos "Charlie" Garza
Because of redistricting, all 15 seats on the Texas State Board of Education will be up for grabs in the November 2012 elections. The results of those elections will determine whether the religious right's corrosive influence over public education will weaken or grow as the board considers what the next generation of public school students […]

Not Encouraging
We were worried that Carlos "Charlie" Garza, who defeated Democratic incumbent Rene Nuñez, would align with the Texas State Board of Education's far-right faction. A newspaper interview with the El Paso Republican isn't encouraging. According to the El Paso Times interview, which was published November 7, Garza thinks public schools should teach "multiple views" about […]

England captain Steven Gerrard has hailed teammate Daniel Sturridge after he opened the scoring in the Three Lions' 3-0 victory over Peru on Friday, Sky Sports has reported.
The game was England's last at Wembley before the World Cup. They now have two more warm-up matches to play against fellow World Cup participants Honduras and Ecuador in Miami, Florida, before they take on Italy in their first Group D fixture on June 14.
After a tepid opening half-hour during which Peru came closer to scoring, Sturridge hit the net with England's first serious attempt on goal, curling home from the edge of the penalty area. From then on it was comfortable for Roy Hodgson's men, who added further goals from set-pieces as central defensive duo Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka both found the net.
And after the game, Gerrard was full of praise for his fellow Liverpool star. He said: "It doesn't surprise me. I've seen it all season with Daniel. I think he got big confidence with the manager putting him in his favoured position tonight and I think that goals will do wonders for him.
"If we're to progress in the World Cup then we're going to need Daniel and Wayne (Rooney) to create magical moments and that was certainly one tonight."
On the overall performance, the 34-year-old added: "I thought it was a good test for us. Peru are decent side technically and defended very well - very deep. We had to be patient and wait for the breakthrough, but we're reasonably pleased with where we are at this point. There's still a few things to work on but we've give ourselves a fantastic base to move forward."

Am I wasting my time, being too analytical, hypersensitive, and becoming someone who I don't' want to be, such as being crafty and worrying about every little detail?
My boyfriend (30) and I (25) have been dating for ten months now. He started living with me when we were dating for a couple of months, since he was jobless and homeless; so our relationship quickly got serious. As many of my friends and relatives say, he was a freeloader and took advantage of me. But I liked him so much (still do), was head over heals and therefore was happy to take care of him. He is my first love and perhaps that is why I am making wrong decisions, such as deciding to continue this relationship.
He has recently moved out of town and I see him about every two weeks and talk to him every day. With this long distance relationship, we seem to enjoy each other more, the fact that we aren't together 24/7. We both are just so happy when we're together; we fit like hand and gloves! And I believe he's realized what a wonderful girlfriend I am (not to sound arrogant) and that he is very lucky to have someone like me.
Here's a problem: I found out a lot of information from reading his diary and email. I've known his "secrets" for about six months now. I'd find negative adjectives with my name, and great words with other girls' names. And he was planning to invite his other girl to the States at the time; basically keeping her in the circle while dating me. I guess things got more serious than he expected with me, so I'm the only one on his list for now.
Knowing that he definitely wasn't 100% committed to me, I still treat him like he's the best. He's told me that he could not commit to marriage, and the worst thing he'd ever do to me is breakup with me. My excuse is that this warning to me was a "while" ago, and I keep seeing things get better and therefore think that there may be a chance. Chance that he may ask me to move and live with him? Chance that someday he'll ask me to marry him?
So am I wasting my time thinking that he'll someday love me like I love him? If I know that I'm not the "one," is it silly that I continue dating him (long distance) no matter how much I like him?
Thanks so much,
Acting Like There's no Tomorrow, Washington, DC

ust at twilight Boyd came up the graveled walk, the chain with its plowpoint weight drawing the gate closed behind him, before him the shanty black and depthless as a stageprop against the failing light. On the porch the old man in the rocking chair sat staring burnteyed at him like some revenant out of his past.
Which he was, but Boyd went on anyway. Behind the shack the horizon went left and right as straight as a chalked line and as far as the eye could see, the furrowed earth tending away toward a hammered sky that looked like turbulent waters at land's end. The old man just watched him come, sepia felthatted old man like a curling Walker Evans photograph, brittle and fragile as memory.
Come up, Boyd, the old man said.
Boyd strode up to the edge of the porch. He stood for a moment as if awaiting invitation to sit and when none came sitting anyway, taking a bag of country Gentleman smoking tobacco from his shirt pocket and uncreasing papers and beginning to construct a cigarette.
Looks like they about plowed you under, he said. He'd not had occasion to speak aloud for two days and the sound of his own voice seemed almost to startle him. He struck a match and lit the cigarette. He could not see the river but he could sense it, dank and yellowsmelling, rolling somewhere out of sight in the gathering dark.
They claim they need all the land for cotton, the old man said. His voice was thin and whispery, like cornhusks rustling together. I reckon when I'm gone they'll doze this mess down and plant it all.
Boyd smoked in silence. The momentum that had carried him for days, for miles, settled upon him like an enormous weight, and he was seized with weariness. Now that he was here he saw that he had reached not some final destination but simply a waystation that had drawn him miles in the wrong direction. If she was here he would have read it in the old man's face, but nothing at all was written there, not even what Boyd had expected; bitter recriminations, who knew what. All there was was a stoic calm he didn't know what to make of. As if the old man had come to some kind of terms. Then he studied the face closer. The yellowed skin was drawn tight across the cheekbones, the face sunken and caved, the blade of nose like something an undertaker had sculpted of wax then studied with a critical eye. All in all the old man looked like something recovered from the earth in gross resurrection and set a rock on this porch in the middle of a cottonfield.
Boyd drew on the cigarette. You been sick, Ira? His voice was blued and furred by the smoke.
I'm fixin to die. I got a cancer.
Well I reckon you finally got something everbody else didn't get one of first, Boyd thought. I hope you're satisfied.
What's it of?
I got it in my lungs. I wish you'd put out that cigarette. I ain't let to smoke, and it makes me want one.
Boyd toed the cigarette out in the packed earth yard, a small vicious black smear. A lamp was lit inside, he could smell the smoky burning kerosene. He had forgotten about the old woman, but now he could sense her presence, see her bulk vaguely outlined against the screen of the door.
You afoot, the old man said. I knowed your walk the minute I seen you. You always walked like you had the world in your hip pocket. You ain't though, have you? Last time I seen you you was in a fine car. You had big plans.
Times is hard, Boyd said.
Times is always hard for some, the old man observed.
They sat in silence. Boyd was watching a blur of cypress past the cottonfield and beyond the cypress soundless lightning flickered the sky to a pale metallic rose. After a while a whippoorwill called out of the trees like something Boyd had been listening for without knowing it, or even some sound he'd summoned by sheer will, and he felt he'd crossed the entire state just to hear this lone whippoorwill mocking him out of the falling dark, and now he must turn around and go back the way he'd come.
How's that chap? the old woman said through the screen door. He must be about grown by now.
He's right at seventeen.
Who's he favor? We never had no picture nor nothin.
He looks a right smart like his mama.
She ain't here, the old man said suddenly. I reckon you've made a long trip for nothin.
If she ain't here I have. And you ain't seen her?
The last time I seen her her belly was swole up with that boy you spoke of and you was helpin her into that fine car. Looks like several hings has changed since then.
Boyd stood up. He brushed dry flakes of tobacco off the front of his dungarees. He looked back the way he'd come. A dim wagon road fading out in the cottonfield. I got to get on, he said. We'll see you.
You take care of that chap, the old woman said. You need to be worrying about him stead of traipsin around the country.
Boyd raised a hand in farewell, dismissal, and took the first step away from the porch. No one bade him stay.
You do find her tell her I got a cancer, the old man said.
Boyd didn't say if he would or he wouldn't. He trudged on woodenly. He looked back once and no one had moved, the whole scene fading into a mauve dusk that seemed to be rising out of the earth itself like vapors, bluely transparent, slipping into invisibility now that it could no longer serve him any purpose.
Dappled by the first warm light of the season Fleming Bloodworth lay on his stomach on a shelf of limestone that formed the summit of a bluff overlooking Grinders Creek. He was propped on his elbows watching the road through his father Boyd's binoculars. This road was red chert and it snaked in and out of sight through the cedars shrouding the bluff. A wooden bridge on concrete pylons crossed the creek downstream from where he was lying and through the powerful binoculars he could discern the heads of the forty-penny spikes the timbers were secured with, trace the grain that ran through the weathered wood.
He was waiting for the mailman. In actuality he was waiting for a lot of things: he was waiting for his father to return from wherever he had gone and for his mother to turn up from wherever she had gone and for himself to decide whether or not he was going back to school. His immediate concern, though, was for the mailman, for the U.S. Mail adhered to a schedule the rest of his life did not. The rest of his life seemed to be in limbo, waiting for one event to take place so that other events would sequence themselves behind it, a recognizable pattern coalesce from swirling chaos.
He had been up and about this day before good light. The day gave promise of being warm, and the remnants of a dream still swirling in his head touched it with portent.
He had dreamed that the mailman brought a check with his name on it, a check from a magazine called Country Gentleman, and he had little doubt that somewhere in the mailman's sorted box of fertilizer ads and burial plan duns such a check existed, needed only the delivering to bring into his possession a typewriter he had seen in the window of a five-and-dime store in the town of Ackerman's Field.
Some months back he had come into ownership of a stack of back numbers of this magazine Country Gentleman. He had read them cover to cover and written a story so cynically devised that he did not see how it could fail. This story had everything. It had a love story involving a boy and girl from two feuding families, a collie dog falsely accused of killing sheep, a sentimental resolution wherein the accused dog saves a child from drowning. It was Romeo and Juliet moved to the backwoods with a sheepkilling dog and a flood thrown in for good measure, and it would not have surprised him to learn that his name was being bandied about editorial offices in Atlanta, Georgie where the magazine was published.
The mailman's car hove into view in a stretch of road between the cedars and almost immediately it began to honk its horn. The boy scrambled up. He was an habitual joiner of book clubs and requester of catalogs and sample copies of magazines but he couldn't think of anything he'd sent for that would not fit in a mailbox. Perhaps a check from a magazine required a signature.
He was scrambling down the shale bluffs going tree to tree. All right, all right, he yelled. The mailbox was set up by an enormous poplar tree at the foot of the hill and the mailman's car had parked before it and continued to honk dementedly until Fleming arrived out of breath at the driver's side window.
Young Bloodworth, the mailman said. Got a package here for you. He was holding a flat manila envelope and now he scanned the return address. The boy was regarding it with a dull loathing. Country Gentleman, the mailman said. Didn't know they took to boxin em up like this.
Fleming received the package with some reluctance, stood regarding it balefully as if he did not quite know what to do with it.
That all you got?
That's it, the mailman said. Your mama ever come back, Fleming?
Thanks for the package, Bloodworth said, turning away toward the hill. The car remained still for a few seconds then the mailman raised a hand and drove away.
Crossing the ditch before the hill began its steep ascent he opened the flap of the envelope. The first thing he saw was his own handwriting, the second a note that had been paperclipped to his manuscript. We regret that we are unable to read handwritten manuscripts, someone in Atlanta had written. All submissions must be typewritten. He threw the manuscript into the ditch and went on up the hill but after a few steps returned and recovered the manila envelope and went on.
To reach this house you came from either of two ways. If you came by the cherted road you left it at the foot of the hill and climbed up through patches of limestone and a grove of cedars where the footpath led. It was an almost vertical ascent and the house came into view by increments, first a green tarpaper roof, tripped from the four corners of the house to a peak in the center, then weathered board walls, a house cobbled up from odds and ends, homemade, as happenstantial as something left by the recession of floodwaters. I reckon it'll do till we find somethin better, Boyd had said, but the boy had been six years old then.
If you approached from the rear, came down from the heavily timbered woods, you followed a footpath that in turn followed the spectral shadings of an old wagon road, a ghost of a road, a rumor of a road. This house had been constructed by and for folk for whom a footpath would serve as well, folk who did not acknowledge the invention of the internal combustion engine, to whom the value of the wheel itself was still in question.
The day that had begun with such promise now yawned like an enormous vacuum that he was called upon somehow to fill. He took down a slingblade from the porch and began to cut weeds, clearing the yard then progressing on toward the garden spot, the air full of bits of weeds like anomolaec snow. The day warmed as it progressed and he took off his shirt and resumed work as if he'd rid the world of weeds once and for all.
In the late afternoon he finally put up the slingblade and went into the house. The house was dark and cool, cavelike, scarcely lit by the windows. He took up a book and with it and a cold cup of the morning's coffee went to a chair where light fell through a windowglass and began to read.
The day drew on, was swallowed in dusk, No bird called, no insect. Life in abeyance, the world itself grinding to a halt, who knew what would follow. Light through the glass grew dim but he read on as if the passage of day into night was of no moment. The world was winding down, and young Bloodworth wound down with it.

WOW...people actually listen to Belling's Banters on Friday afternoons? At least he wasn't bantering about Horse Racing.
