Long-time activist, Rod Coronado is currently helping to build a grassroots campaign against the recreational hunting of wolves and the USDA's Wildlife Services program which is responsible for eradicating literally hundreds of thousands of predators annually with traps, poisons and aerial gunning. His 2014 speaking tour consists of Coronado and when possible, other representatives from organizations sharing the same mission. This lecture series comprises a brief history of gray wolves and their successful recovery from near extinction, and how after being stripped of endangered species protection, six states have begun recreational hunting and trapping of wolves.
Coronado explains his own path towards protecting American predators with organizations such as Earth First! and describes how those efforts led to some change, but also legal consequences that resulted in his imprisonment. As a veteran of the environmental movement for over 30 years, Coronado explains how we must now move forward to create campaigns that involve participating in the same public process that is used to develop public policies towards wildlife. Currently, most states' wildlife policies are determined by those with a vested interest in hunting and fishing, and what Coronado hopes for is greater participation in this process from the majority of citizens who appreciate wildlife as members of the ecological community deserving protection.
Coronado also draws from his Native American heritage to explain the relationship some indigenous nations have towards wolves and other animals, and explains how similar public sentiments are yet to be reflected in the government agencies entrusted to protect wildlife. The recent resumption of sport hunting of wolves and the continued indiscriminate eradication of predators by Wildlife Services signals a return to an old way of seeing wildlife, and one that Coronado and his allies hope to replace with a greater understanding of the role wild predators play in healthy ecosystems.

That's a lovely little corner...and I love the ironing table
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
That's a lovely little corner...and I love the ironing table
Blessings from Janice
I love your 301. What a beauty in it's own table. And when it's hot you will have lots of cool air. Great space.
Everything is so neat!!!! My project of the day is to make a tv tray ironing table. I can't decide what fabric to use. Yours looks so tropical! Did you use Insulbrite, batting, old towels or what under the fabric top?
I started just like this. Sometime (shhh don't tell DH) I miss all the noise from everyone when I quilted in the house, sometimes. I have a question for you though..Why is there plastic over your A/C? ( I was born and raised in Florida, a hard winter to me is 35, which I complain all winter) =)
The day you stop learning is the they day you die..
Nifty little corner of your sewing world. Love what you did to the tv table - what a great idea!!
Dance like no one is watching
Thanks everyone!
wyte - it's winter here in PA and pretty cold, if we don't cover the AC in the winter time a HORRIBLE wind comes through there and our heating bill is already crazy (and we only keep the heat at 60degrees), so we do whatever we can to keep the bill as low as possible. Even with the plastic that corner is cold... my tushy is always freezing when I sew!

great corner to create in
Such a neat place to sew, and I love your sewing machine. I bought one just like it in 1962 and I still have it!!
Isn't it great to have a place to call your own???
You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.
A smile is something you can't give away; it always comes back to you.
A great place for you to sew your little treasures!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.

Inter-American Human Rights System, campaigns against defamation laws keep journalists from jail in Americas
When a prison guard told Ángel Santiesteban Prats that he would be released from jail on a scorching summer day in July, the Cuban independent writer and blogger decided to ignore him, brushing off the news as a cruel joke. By then, Santiesteban had already spent two years and five months in prison, half of his five-year sentence, on trumped-up charges of domestic abuse. But Santiesteban, who had been jailed in reprisal for the critical blog Los Hijos que Nadie Quiso (The Children Nobody Wanted), was unexpectedly paroled a few hours later.

I'm very interested in it as 505 is too expensive for me plus I worry about fumes, pinning and the regular Elmer's glue method are painful to my hands and pinning takes forever!

At the Boonshoft School of Medicine, students are self-directed learners in our dynamic, innovative curriculum, focusing on evidence-based, whole-patient care. Our nationally renowned faculty are dedicated to creating lifelong learners by engaging various educational techniques such as Team-Based Learning™ (TBL), peer instruction and the WrightQ — modified problem-based learning sessions that integrate biomedical and clinical science. Professionalism, ethics, population medicine and humanism are interwoven throughout the four years. Our elective Healer's Art course is taken by nearly 85 percent of our first-year students, and many students in the clinical years are involved in Finding Meaning in Medicine groups.
For the first two years, most learning activities occur at the Ramesh K. Gandhi Medical Education Center, also known as White Hall. This is a state-of-the-art space specifically designed for medical student education. Located here are classrooms, laboratories, small group rooms, study areas, a lounge, mailboxes and offices for faculty and administrators who are devoted to medical student education.
Our students begin learning from patients on the very first day of medical school in the Patient, Physician and Society course. Students have the opportunity to ask questions of patients and their families who share their real-life experiences, offering intimate insight into the patient-physician relationship. They reflect about their values as future physicians, and as they move forward into other classes, they will be reminded of their commitment to be humanistic physicians. In the Introduction to Clinical Medicine (ICM) course, students work with volunteer and standardized patients to develop interviewing and physical examination skills. In many of the courses, biomedical science is integrated by using simulators.
As we develop our new WrightCurriculum, the Staying Alive module will focus on the relationships between the cardiac, respiratory and renal systems under normal and abnormal conditions. Throughout the course, the learner will solve increasingly complex clinical case problems that exemplify core pathophysiologic concepts and make decisions about diagnosis and treatment that are evidence-based. Presentation and diagnosis of illness and disease across the life cycle are investigated within the principles of population medicine, molecular biology, pathophysiology and therapeutics.
Throughout the clinical years, students are provided superior clinical training experiences in a variety of community hospital and clinical settings with close supervision by our faculty who provide frequent feedback. Students have the opportunity to participate in the student-developed Global Health Initiative international missions, as well as service-learning electives and Area Health Education Center activities. Our International Education Program has become one of the most popular elective opportunities as more and more students appreciate their future responsibility to serve people beyond our borders and those from other lands who have immigrated here. The Research Learning Community has allowed our students to present their work locally, regionally and nationally. Our new Wright Rural Health Initiative provides students the opportunity to enhance their clinical skills with our partners in a neighboring rural community. By the culmination of the educational experiences, our graduates are prepared to enter residencies as knowledgeable, skillful and compassionate physicians.
The Biennium II curriculum starts in the third year. This year is devoted to six clerkships that occur at all of our affiliated teaching hospitals, multiple community clinics and private practice offices. Each clerkship provides the student with supervised clinical-care experiences with patients and their families. In addition, students are expected to read a great deal about clinical disorders and treatment approaches and regularly present their cases. By the end of the third year, all students have had a broad set of experiences in the care of patients and their families, working with a "team," either in the hospital or office setting, and have begun to understand the complexities of providing comprehensive care in a rapidly changing health care system.
The fourth year has considerable flexibility to enhance student pursuit of interests as they define their next steps into residency. emergency medicine, neurology and electives integrate many of the third-year experiences and, by the end of the year, all students feel confident in their knowledge and skills to begin their first postgraduate year. The spectrum of electives, either existing or student-initiated, provide capstone experiences to broaden the perspective of medicine. Many students elect to spend a couple of months in a Third World country working in a clinic or hospital, complete a laboratory-based research project that started in the first year or do a fourth-year clerkship at another institution in another state.

After a very long journey, NASA's second Mars exploration rover has finally reached what NASA's John Callas says is arguably its most important science target since landing on Mars. The little six-wheeled rover named Opportunity has rambled over the Martian landscape to arrive at a crater called Endeavor. The crator is located near the planet's equator.
One Crazy Crater
Endeavour is the fourth Mars crater that Opportunity will explore. It is by far the most massive, at 14 miles in diameter. Endeavor was created when a very large object - such as an asteroid or comet - collided with the surface of Mars. Because Endeavor is such a large crater, Opportunity will get to explore the oldest rock deposits that scientists have yet seen on Mars.
"We will likely spend years at this location," says Callas. "What a destination. It's not just one spot. There's kilometers of interesting geology to explore."
Opportunity will spend several months taking pictures of the rim and interior of the crater. Then the rover will travel south along the rim while looking for clay minerals that are thought to form under wet conditions.
A Long Trip
Opportunity was first parachuted to the surface of Mars in 2004. The rover was first scheduled to complete a three-month mission. Another rover named Spirit was sent to the opposite side of Mars. While Spirit's journey ended over a year ago after it became trapped in sand, Opportunity continued to chug along. To pay tribute to the Spirit rover, the exact spot along the rim of Endeavor that Opportunity reached was named Spirit Point.
The Endeavour crater will likely be the rover's final destination. But Opportunity has proven in the past that it can last beyond its expected lifetime. After all, it has continued to function effectively 30 times longer than originally planned.
Reaching Endeavor has been Opportunity's goal ever since it finished exploring the Victoria crater in August 2008. Because the rover moves at only two inches per second, it took Opportunity three years to complete the approximately seven-mile trip between the two craters.

Probiotics, or beneficial bacteria, are probably best known for colon health, but recent research is showing that probiotics may also be helpful for stomach conditions. The vast majority of peptic, intestinal ulcers and gastritis cases are caused by a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori or H. pylori.
About half of all humans carry this potentially harmful bacterium and up to 15% of those infected will develop an ulcer. Since H. pylori was identified as the ulcer-causing culprit, the challenge has been to identify the best possible treatments and prevent relapse. Typical ulcer treatments of acid blockers and antibiotics have had some success, but natural health advocates warn against using such drugs long term. Scientists now agree the standard protocol for H. pylori infection needs work and they're hopeful about the potential of probiotics.
An article published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology identified a specific strain of probiotic bacteria called Bifidobacterium bifidum that may help treat ulcers. Scientists isolated the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium bifidum from breast-fed infant fecal matter and tested it against H. pylori. Researchers noticed that the bacterium inhibited H. Pylori up to 95% in vitro. In further testing, mice infected with H. pylori and given Bifidobacterium bifidum developed considerably fewer ulcers and had less overall damage in the stomach from the H. Pylori than the control group.
These results are very encouraging for those looking for natural and complementary approaches for ulcers and other stomach issues. There are two primary methods to increase your intake of probiotic bacteria such as Bifidobacterium bifidum: food and supplements. Various probiotic strains can be found in fermented foods and some dairy products, such as yogurt and kefir. However, the quantity of these beneficial bacteria in these foods can be low and the variety of strains is often limited.
To achieve higher intake of probiotics, as well as more varied strains, probiotic supplements are a great option. Though, it should be noted that not all probiotic supplements are created equal. The best probiotic formulas have high amounts of bifidobacteria and consist of various strains of probiotic bacteria to provide support to the largest number of people.

Some squares in this Sudoku contain circles. Each circled digit is that many steps away from another circle with that digit. For example, a circled square with a 3 will be three steps away from another circled 3. An un-circled square will not have another occurrence of its digit that many steps away. A step is a move into a horizontally or vertically neighboring square (diagonally doesn't count). Note that none of the circled squares contains the digit 1; that would require a second 1 in the same row or column. Also, a path between two squares is the fewest number of squares required to travel between those two boxes. When you're done, each row, column, and 3-x-3 box will contain the digits 1–9 one time. It's psychotic!

I am enjoying the current threads on nucs, and I thought I'd start another one. After watching Mike Palmers nuc vimeos and going into my third year of overwinter in nucs. First year survival 1 out of 2. Second year 9 out of 9, Third year (this year) I am going into winter with 18. Clearly I am a relative novice, but I have learned a few things. Here are some tips/observations from my experiences feel free to add more.
1. You can't have enough nuc boxes, and spare frames in the spring. Unless you are planning to sell them you will need to have boxes on hand to super them up quickly.
2. If you keep your nucs on stands it is useful to make the stand twice as wide as the number of nucs you might keep on it. This allows you pretty good access to the middle ones. This one is a pain to work on. I made it to high, and it is an ergonomic nightmare trying to access the center nucs.
This one is better, it is knee high, and I can reach the center boxes quite easily.
3. Od Frank cleats - his contribution to my beekeeping - they are cleats cut with a 20 degree angle to them; The beauty of them is that as you lift them gravity pulls them into you fingertips and you don't feel as though they are going to fall. The green boxes have them. All the new nucs I am make from now on will have them.
4. I have given up on wooden lids. A 2 inch piece of styroam, and a feed bag inner cover is all that's needed.
5. I use 2 pieces of wood at the bottom of the nucs, and leave a gap of about 3/8 inch for them to drag the dead out. This can easily be closed off. I also reduce the hole in the side of the nuc for winter with a piece of plastic wine cork. A frost ring on the sub zero days is confirmation of life. This reduction is also useful when you initiate the nuc and don't want it robbed out.
6. My method to establish a nuc is to place a 2 frames of brood with a cell, usually either a swarm cell or a Mel Disselkoen OTS cell in a 5 frame box with a frame of honey and a drawn or new frame in a 5 frame box. I let it mate, and start laying. When it is established I add another 5 frame box and raise up a frame of brood into the second box. My goal is to get he cell in the box by the first or second week of June. By fall successfully mated queens are leading colonies that have filled both boxes. I give one gallon of Fumigillan to knock down the nosema and don't have to add much more unless the colonies have been started much later.
Last year I was overwhelmed by bees. This year, if winter is kind and I am lucky, I plan on selling half of the nucs or the tail will be wagging the dog again.

Beads for Education helps girls in Kenya go to school and create brighter futures
When Florence Nasoore was 12 and living in rural Kenya, in Africa, she wanted nothing more than to continue her education. But for many Kenyan girls, school is not an option. School costs money. Families are more likely to spend it on educating boys. Many girls are forced to marry.
But Florence was able to pursue her dream thanks to Beads for Education. Americans Debby Rooney and Lisa Stevens started Beads. The group matches girls with sponsors who pay for school. Florence was the first of 320 Kenyan girls in third grade through college whom Beads sponsored.
In January of 2013, Beads opened a high school. "It's the realization of a dream to provide our girls with the best education possible and prepare them for college and beyond," Stevens told TFK. Rooney was there to dedicate the school.
Bead by Bead
On a 1991 visit to Kenya, Rooney heard about women who were making and selling beaded bracelets, baskets and necklaces, and using the money they earned to send their daughters to school. Two years later, Rooney started Beads by selling the Kenyan crafts in the U.S. Stevens joined the project soon after.
In 1998, Beads began matching girls with sponsors. Since then, the group has helped build three libraries and an elementary school (see "What Money Can Buy"). Beads also helps train teachers.
The new high school is named Tembea, which means "to walk," in Swahili. Florence is walking toward a bright future. She graduated from college in 2010 and is now a teacher. "Florence is the first in her family to finish high school and college," says Stevens. "She is an example of the potential for all girls in Kenya."

The unnamable: Todd Haynes's not-Dylan movie. By Jon Garelick
Covering Dylan: From Newport to I'm Not There. By Charles Taylor
Agent Zimmerman: Bob Dylan? A CIA spy? Wait . . . now it all makes sense. (Or as much sense as his lyrics make, anyway.) By James Parker
For Haynes fans, who tend to be almost as devout as Dylan fans, the volume of attention to the film comes as a relief. Last year's news that the director was reuniting with mogul Harvey Weinstein, who had all but turned Haynes's glam-rock epic Velvet Goldmine into melted wax, was cause for alarm — akin to hearing that Dylan would be forced to make an album with dumpster-diving Dylanologist A.J. Weberman. But I'm Not There got made, and the result, love it or not, is Haynes's most experimental film since Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, his widely bootlegged Barbie doll bio-pic from 1987.
Do you feel you've come full circle since Superstar? Twenty years later, you're making another iconoclastic musical bio-pic — but you got the rights to the songs this time.
Yes, and it makes me want to wag the film in front of David Bowie, who gave me not one tune for Velvet Goldmine. C'mon, dude — even Bob Dylan gave me rights! What's your problem?
Dylan has the DVD of I'm Not There that you gave him. You've said you want his feedback, but does some part of the Dylan fan in you want him to remain elusive, true to form?I think I could handle it if he never said anything. But I'd prefer to hear something eventually. I'd hope he could watch the film and have a chuckle. But this is maybe the most impossible thing to hope for. I was just talking to Jesse [Dylan's son] about this last night. Jesse said, "He really doesn't look back." He doesn't listen to his old records. He doesn't want to be bothered with "Bob Dylan."
So you're the one looking back. Which of the movie's many primary sources has been the most meaningful to you?
Well, the thing that blew me away — and I used it quite extensively in the film — is the Playboy interview from '66. It's one of the most remarkable documents in all of pop culture. He's being cagy and surreal and witty and abstract — as in the lyrics he was writing at the time — but he's also answering the questions completely, riffing on multiple levels at once. The truly amazing thing is that Dylan provided both the answers and the questions by phone to Nat Hentoff, who had to write everything on the wall with a pencil.

Am I a lost cause?... (need some pro help here).
Ok, so in '02 I got my A.S. for Computer Network Technology. Fresh out I looked for work, but couldn't get hired because of the "NO EXPERIENCE" clause. So I joined the military, got into the intel community, got a clearance (which I prefer not to talk about here). and got a honorable discharge. Now: I'm a civilian again and i still dream of a job in the INFOSEC field. But i haven't really done anything with my degree. It went to waste while in the military it seems. I still to this day consider myself to be far above the level of knowledge of an everyday IT. I've been looking to get in to pentesting for quite some time now. Past that A.S. that I earner almost 7 years ago i really haven't done anything to show continued education. So here comes the major questions:
I have a family now, debt, (you know all that adult stuff). So there's no way I can afford to go back to college now to say earn my Master in Comp. Sci. ...I'm really not all that interested in having a IT/Helpdesk/"...Help! i forgot the password to my email" kind of job. Instead I want to hack. Plain and simple. Been that way for years. Now I just want to make it my career. I can run just about any OS, Win (all) 'Nix, (used UNIX in the military) and use BT3 as a personal favorite. Although I've never loaded and ran Free BSD (...maybe my next personal project). Point is, I'm NOT just some beginner. I've been in it for a while without ever really being IN the field. So, If I was looking to break into the pentesting/INFOSEC world, how would you recommend i do it? Where would I start? These things that may come common to some are not to me because I've never made it to that field. What Certs should I look at getting? What books might you recommend that could held catch me up? And honestly, does it even seem possible to still break into the field (no pun intended) with only a vast knowledge/extreme will/and only a few certs?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanx in adv.

text: Once we drop whip and rope, once we stop manipulating reality, it appears by itself and we understand that we are exactly at the same spot as we were when it all started. The ox has and has not disappeared, it is now perfectly merged with this life as it comes and goes, nothing special to chase or ride anymore, just this very being here and now ringing in all directions. We have given up the search and in this calm and serene scenery we can dwell. This is, in essence, a non dualistic stage, neither one nor two, ox and self just as this.

Scientists are working to protect the clown fish
In the movie Finding Nemo, the orange clown fish was saved. Now environmentalists say the species needs saving in real life too. On Sept. 13, the Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition that it hopes will prevent clown fish and seven other coral reef-dwelling species from becoming endangered.
There is no evidence that clown fish numbers are dropping. So why are scientists concerned? Shaye Wolf is an animal scientist for the Center for Biological Diversity. She says the coral reefs, where clown fish live, are becoming unhealthy. "We're asking for protection of the clown fish because it's in trouble from climate change," Wolf told TFK.
Life In the Reefs
Clown fish protect themselves from predators by living in sea anemones that grow on coral reefs. Scientists have warned that coral reefs are likely to become the world's first ecosystem to disappear because of global warming. The reefs are at risk from increased levels of acid in the ocean, which comes from pollution from humans. The pollution damages a clown fish's sense of hearing, sight and smell. With damaged senses, young clown fish have trouble finding coral reefs to make their homes. Sometimes the fish can become so confused that they are drawn to predators' smells by mistake. "The longer we wait, the harder it's going to be to save these unique creatures," Wolf says.
A Plan To Help
Clown fish face other threats too. They are among the world's most commonly traded fish species. Wolf says protecting the fish—and the coral reefs where they live—under the Endangered Species Act will help.
"We need to protect Nemo and all the other fishes that we care about," Wolf says. "As the reefs go, so do the fish that depend on them."
The National Marine Fisheries Service will decide this December whether these fish will be protected under the Endangered Species Act. Until then, as Dory from Finding Nemo says, "just keep swimming."

Address: 162 Mokoia Rd, Birkenhead
Ph: (09) 419 0911
Having recently reviewed Eduardo's in Newmarket, it seemed appropriate to see how its former owner - and namesake - is is faring in his new location in Birkenhead.
Reasonably well, it appears. Although The Mediterranean lacks the cosy atmosphere of Eduardo's, it has a certain industrial charm and our welcome was warm and enthusiastic. The warmth, however, did not extend to our table by the windows, where a draught reminded us that spring really isn't quite here yet, however much we are exhorted to get the vegetable garden organised.
So we moved tables, which did not create a problem for Cathy, our delightful waitress. Nothing did. When we ordered the Sicilian wine, the only foreigner on the extensive list of whites, we were offered a taste first, a service one encounters too rarely. The taste was so pleasant that Hazel and I decided to go with it.
The platter we shared for starters was another rarity, in that it contained sufficient bread with which to enjoy the excellent hummus, pancetta, sundried tomato, plentiful olives, blue cheese, ham off the bone and more. We were pleased we hadn't ordered the supreme platter, which appeared to be a meal in itself.
After this bounty, we were somewhat disappointed by the mains. My kafta, skewers of spiced mince, was described as being served on warm flatbread with hummus. And it was exactly that, no more and no less. The bread covered the plate with the skewer across it like some poor abandoned animal. The hummus was again excellent, but the presentation lacked appeal. Alan had the same issue with his skewer of lamb chunks, although the meat was tender and juicy.
Bill's beef-filled ravioli were fine, but not spectacular. But the tomato sauce was rich and tasty, so the dish was somewhat redeemed. Hazel had the best out of the four, with her ryash ghanam, tender lamb chops served with crushed baby potatoes and a selection of vegetables. Although the presentation again lacked panache, it has to be said that the meat was of the best quality.
Being all of us still on the chilly side, we opted not to stay for dessert, and headed back over the bridge.
The Mediterranean does some things very well. The service is sparkling and attentive without being over-solicitous. The ingredients in the meals are carefully selected and of a high standard.
But the place is cold, and the food presentation lacks thought. When summer really arrives, a return visit to take advantage of the attractive outdoor area will be called
Rating out of 10
Food: 7
Service: 8
Value: 7
Ambience: 6
Our meal: $238.50 for a shared platter, four mains, six glasses of wine and four beers.
Wine list: Enormous, with almost solely local whites and a mix of imported reds. Hazel and I enjoyed the Grillo Serenata, a Sicilian version of sauvignon blanc.
Verdict: Eduardo crossed the bridge and set up in this location a few years ago. Although the service was excellent, the food lacked verve and we were cold. A return visit in the summer will be a must.

What can you do when the people you love the most seem stuck in a pattern of sedentary living?Maybe you'd like to be more active, too? It can be tough to stick with a fitness routine when you're the only physically active person in your household. There are ways to help your family build a healthy, active lifestyle.
Helping kids become more active is much easier when both adults are on the same page. Sit down with your spouse or partner and share the reasons why you want your family to spend more time moving and less time sitting around, which may include:
When you love somebody, you want the best for him or her, including the best of health. Despite your good intentions, your kids and spouse may or may not be interested or ready to become more physically active. Nagging can push people in the opposite direction. Why not appeal to their sense of adventure instead and look for fun ways to be active as a family? What about going to the playground, swimming, bowling, canoeing, hiking, or bird-watching? Through these types of experiences, families can learn that being active is much more fun and rewarding than sitting in front of a computer or TV screen.
Adults and children alike benefit from active play and unstructured time for recreation, discovery, and enjoyment. Whether or not you have a yard, keep a simple supply of basic sports equipment on hand, such as balls, mitts, badminton racquets and birdies, hula hoops, and Frisbees®. If you don't have outdoor space to play at home, take your gear to a local park, school, or community center for some old-fashioned family fun.If your family loves video games, opt for systems that involve physical activity. While this is no substitute for regular vigorous exercise, these interactive games are more beneficial than traditional video games that involve only finger and wrist movements.
More than 2/3 of all American children have television sets in their bedrooms. Average daily screen time for kids ages 8-18 is over the top—with 4.5 hours of watching TV; 1.5 hours spent in front of the computer; and 1 hour spent playing video games. That comes to almost 7 hours a day spent in front of the screen. Prolonged screen time has been linked to an increased risk of developing serious medical problems, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome, even if exercise is involved. Experts recommend limiting screen time to 2 hours a day or less outside of work or homework; and that applies to grown-ups too.
Set a good example for your family by limiting your own screen time and becoming as active as possible. Parents are powerful role models. Chances are good when your kids see you having fun working out, they'll want to join you.Helping your family move more and sit less is a powerful act of love. A lifelong habit of physical activity will create healthier and happier families, and may even expand your longevity. What better gift to share with the ones you love?

Morning Football Update: Vikes' Peterson wants to play
Mmm ... 5,000 calories in one day.
Three games and an upcoming Ndamukong Suh suspension are in the books, but we've got 13 more contests to go this weekend. Here's your weekly reminder about where you can find fantasy advice as kickoff approaches:
- Tweet the FOXSports.com fantasy team. I'm at @jhalpin37, and you can also contact Ryan Fowler (@FOXSportsFowler), Joel Beall (@FOXSportsBeall) and Mike Harmon (@SwollenDome).
- Post a message on the Facebook pages for Harmon, Fowler and me.
- Listen to FOX Fantasy Freaks Harmon, Peter Burns and Nate Lundy, on FOX Sports Radio Sunday from 9 a.m. until noon ET. You can also tweet those guys (@FantasyFreaks).
- Chat with Beall and me on FOXSports.com Sunday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. He'll manage the first half of the festivities, and I'll jump in at 11:30 to close things out.
On to the news:
Check out the greatest fantasy
- Vikings RB Adrian Peterson hopes to return to the practice field today and play on Sunday despite a sprained ankle. This is far from a done deal, and at this point I wouldn't bet on Peterson being active. However, if you own Peterson OR if you just picked up Toby Gerhart, you'll need to monitor this situation. If Peterson misses practice again today, we can probably count him out. If he doesn't, we might not know anything official until noon ET on Sunday.
- With Fred Jackson done for the season due to a broken leg, C.J. Spiller gets first crack at the lead back role for the Bills. Spiller is explosive but not very big, and some people are speculating on rookie Johnny White because he seems to be a better between-the-tackles runner than Spiller. White may be an interesting flier in a deep league, but for now, Spiller is your target if you can still get him. On projected workload alone, he's worth a start against the Jets.
- P.S. The Bills picked up RB Tashard Choice. The mention of Choice's name gets fantasy people intrigued, but remember that he's been cut by two teams in the last month.
- Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (knee) missed Thursday's practice, and his status for Sunday is TBD. Here's head coach Norv Turner: "Hopefully Ryan will be all right. But if he's not, (Mike) Tolbert and (Curtis) Brinkley will take the load." Fellow Mathews owners, you're not alone in beating your heads against the wall due to this guy's brittleness. He's like a porcelain doll, but more delicate.
- Michael Vick (ribs) missed another practice for the Eagles on Thursday, and appears unlikely to play against the Patriots. WR DeSean Jackson (foot) practiced after sitting out Wednesday, while WR Jeremy Maclin (shoulder, hamstring) sat out after practicing Wednesday. The Eagles-Pats game is late, so if we don't hear news on this trio later today, you might need to resort to your backup plans. Jackson is the most likely of the trio to play, and the Vince Young-Riley Cooper connection may once again evoke memories of Montana-to-Rice. Or not.
- In other Eagles' news, CB Nnamdi Asomugha was carried off the practice field Thursday with a knee injury. That's not something you want to happen with the Patriots coming to town.
- Here's an update on the Raiders' long list of injuries. It sounds like we might see WR Denarius Moore (foot) on Sunday, with the chances not as good forWRs Jacoby Ford (foot) and Darrius Heyward-Bey (concussion), along with still-inactive RB Darren McFadden (foot).
- After posting a quick 57 yards from scrimmage on seven carries and three receptions, Lions RB Kevin Smith left Thursday's game with a sprained ankle. Smith's Week 13 status is TBD, but keep your fingers crossed, because his role in the team's offense is big. I started Smith in one league, and after getting excited about his strong start, his injury almost ruined my Thanksgiving dinner. Almost.
- Getting depressed about all the bad injury news in today's blog post? How about the positive story that Falcons WR Julio Jones appears on track to return to action this week? It's a Thanksgiving miracle!
- Speaking of Thanksgiving, a woman in a California Wal-Mart reportedly pepper-sprayed people while waiting on line for an xBox late Thursday night. I love the holiday traditions like retail store violence.
- A week after predicting his Week 12 return, Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) still isn't practicing, and is unlikely to play Monday night. Teammate Mario Manningham (knee) missed Thursday's practice, so let's keep an eye on him as well.
- Browns RB Montario Hardesty reportedly might return Sunday after missing four games with a calf injury. If he does, look for some sort of timeshare between he and Chris Ogbonnaya.
- Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb practiced again Thursday, and may return this week after missing three games with a toe injury. In other Cardinals news, you may have missed this Monday article about the team needing to manage RB Beanie Wells' workload due to his knee problems. A healthy Wells would be in a great spot against the Rams, and while you can still start him, don't expect 20 carries.
- Did everyone notice yesterday that Felix Jones' new job description is "kick returner?" Raise your hand if you picked him in the fourth round of a draft.
- Kyle Orton will not be ready to start for the Chiefs on Sunday night, so Tyler Palko once again gets the chance to reward owners of the fantasy defense that plays against him. This week, it's the Steelers.
- You remember that WR Andre Johnson will return for the Texans on Sunday, with Matt Leinart throwing to him, right? You should, since the Jaguars are likely to be without five defensive starters for the game. Leinart won't throw enough for you to take a big risk on him, though.
- Colts RB Joseph Addai is practicing again, and Indianapolis Star beat writer Philip B. Wilson tweeted on Wednesday that if Addai practices fully this week, he'll probably start against the Panthers. You may remember the Panthers as the team that made Kevin Smith look like Emmitt Smith last week. With that in mind, keep a close eye on Addai's status.
- WR Emmanuel Sanders will return for the Steelers on Sunday night. You need to be in a deep league for that to mean anything.
- Attention, PPR owners: 49ers WR Michael Crabtree caught six passes for 54 yards last night, and has 33 receptions in his last six games. I'm just saying.
- Redskins WR Santana Moss (hand) practiced fully on Thursday, and is on track to return after a four-game absence.
- Seahawks WR Sidney Rice (knee) hasn't practiced yet this week. Ben Obomanu has been limited. Doug Baldwin might be the last man standing in the Seattle receiving corps.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The leak was patched.
Apparently, the CAT is clogged and was returning to much hot air via the EGR that caused the manifold to melt in a couple of spots, therefore the leak and the idle problems.
The manifold was patched with jb weld and as a temporary precaution, the EGR was disconnected and sealed until the CAT is replaced. (Hopefully within the next few days)
He also stated the IAC was shot. And the MAF I bought on line was bad as well.
The tranny problem was being caused by the MAF.
I installed another MAF he had laying around and voila!! the engine idle'd great and the transmission issue went away. Yes, the MAF was causing transmission problems (I think I dogged a bullet there).
So now the car is running fine (sort off) as the mechanic said the CAT needs to be changed and the IAC. The car is running fine, but still feels a little "off" when the car idles.
Is that related to the IAC that is bad?
Or its the CAT that is clogged and making the engine a little rough on idle.
Is there a way to actually test the CAT?
Also, Can someone tell me what CAT I can buy and have it replaced???????
I am very confused, and here is why......
The car is from CA. BUT was exported to Mexico, where it has Mexican tags and registration. I see cats on e@ay for as low as $50 (universal)....can I use one of those CATS?
They say they are not to be installed on CA cars, but since its not in CA anymore and I have one of those universal cats installed/adapted in the cars here (south of the border), can I just go ahead and install one of those and the car will be driving well, and will not have any issues with the car not running like it should?
Someone care to shine a light on this?
Well, what it sounds like is that you got a leak between throttle body and maf, the leaked caused engine to think it was running lean so it added fuel to compensate for too much and not enough fuel. The extra fuel (which it didnt need) caused the catalyst to melt which restricts hot gases from leaving the engine and built up causing excess heat causing plastic to melt.
MAF and/or IAC (idle air control) may or may not have been bad considering how bad your condition was at the point of diagnosis, since Im not their I really dont know.
Now the transmission may have gone into fail safe mode or just lost an input like a sensor signal, and may not be related. Its possible a sensor wire may have been burn/damaged form excess heat off the exhaust, or during repair a sensor may have come disconnected. I would go over all the wire under the hood and car to see if their is loose or damaged. If your friend has a good scan tool he should be able to look at the transmisson to see whats going on.
Also the transmission most of the time does not set a cel as the cel is for emissions issues with the engine. Hope in some way this helps.
|Welcome to Focus Fanatics! Moved your thread to "General Technical Chat" so you will be better helped.
Emission/Transmission problems....HELP!
Hello, I have an '02 SE DOHC with 79000+ miles and have some problems.....
All of a sudden the car started shutting down and the revs would go up and down at idle (at a stoplight, at a stop....)
Took it to a friend mechanic and notice that there was an air leak by the throttle body, and the MAF was pointed out by an engine code (dont remember the exact code number...P1XXX?)....so he told me that if it was a simple leak, we could just patch it with jb weld and go on with our life's. Also, that MAF was bad and needed to be replaced, and also, the air speed motor is shot.....(at least that is what I understood, it goes on the manifold and controls the air..??) someone please correct me on this last part....
He took it apart, and noticed that the manifold had several small holes. The holes where cause because the plastic melted. Apparently the cat is clogged and to much head was getting to the manifold and therefore it melted in a couple of spots......
He patched them up, and replaced the MAF and all is good now..... but as a temp fix, he disconnected the egr valve to prevent more heat to reach the manifold these few days to get the cat changed and the airspeed motor...once again, please someone correct me on this last part.
BUT!, when I was driving it to his shop, the transmission started to kick hard from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and OD would NOT kick in. WITH the OD button on or off the result would be the same, OD would not kick in. Oil level is OK, no engine light and no codes on the scanner.
Obviously, there is still the cat, egr and air speed motor issue that needs to be addressed........but would those issues be causing the transmission problems....could they be related????
...or my car just decided to crap out all at once......
Any guru out there willing to give me their point of view??
P.S. Glad to be aboard.

A fool is generally one third yoghurt, one third whipped cream and one third poached fruit. Serve in coupe glasses (fashionable in the late 70s). The shortbread gives the crunch factor.
Serves 6
For the shortbread
• 900g plain flour
• 300g castor sugar
• 600g soft unsalted butter
• 1½ vanilla pod seeds scraped out
1. Put all the ingredients into a kitchen mixer and gently knead using the paddle attachment. Once just combined, take out of the mixer and place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper about 60cm long by 30cm wide. Take another sheet of parchment paper and place on top and roll the dough out to 1½ cm thick. Try and get it to the edges as it will be a more efficient way to cut out the biscuits. Place in the fridge to cool completely.
2. Once cold, using a sharp knife, cut the shortbread into credit-card-size rectangles.
Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and set the biscuits 1cm apart to allow for expansion while cooking.
3. Cook at 180C for about eight minutes or until light golden brown. Take out of the oven.
Immediately sprinkle with castor sugar and leave to cool. Store in an airtight container until needed. You'll have more than you need, but what's the harm?
For the poached cherries
• 500g fresh cherries (save one fresh cherry per portion to use as garnish)
• 150g castor sugar
• 150g water
Cut cherries in half, remove stones. Put in a pot with sugar and water and simmer until just cooked, leave to cool. This will make more than enough, just put the extra in a covered container in the fridge to have with granola or whatever. It will keep for about a week or so.
• 250ml cream, whip to soft peaks
• 250ml yoghurt (we use De Winkel)
• 250g of poached cherries
Put the cream and yoghurt into a bowl and combine with a spatula. Now for the tricky bit, put the poached cherries in the mix and gently fold in to make a ripple effect. Now carefully spoon into the glasses, using a reserved fresh cherry to top it off. Serve with a shortbread biscuit on the side.

Too many deer versus car crashes
Why so many in November?
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - There is a one two punch reason why there are so many deer versus car smashups in November. It's deer mating season is the first reason. Michael Seraphin with Parks and Wildlife tells me, "Bucks are chasing does. Bucks are fighting with other bucks and they are not paying any attention at all." Seraphin says the most obvious safety tip is one that is actually the best. He says, "When you see one deer be careful. They travel in groups. Pay attention, slow down and avoid the collision in the first place."
Mike Reece is with Maaco. He's been in the auto repair industry for 18 years. He showed me a slide show of vehicles his staff has worked on, post deer crashes. One that was most compelling to me was a Ford Focus that had too close of an encounter with a deer. Reece told me what the driver told him, "She didn't hit the deer at all. It hit the side of the left fender and it was a small deer and knocked it in the windshield. The deer had difficulties getting out of the windshield and the hooves scraped the roof and rolled off the side."
Reece told me that woman's car was totaled. The driver was okay but the deer limped away badly hurt.
The second reason for the increase in deer versus car crashes in November is because of the switch to Daylight Saving Time. There are more of us driving home in the dark and not keeping it slow in neighborhoods with known deer roaming around it. Michael Seraphin put it all in perspective, " You can do everything right and you may still have a car deer collision. You can reduce the percentage by paying attention to crossing signs, being alert and aware."
According to Parks and Wildlife experts, here are some other trouble areas with animal collisions to be prepared for when you are driving. They include:
- Colo. Highway 115, Colorado Springs to Penrose
- Colo. Highway 13, Rifle to Meeker
- Colo. Highway 82, Glenwood Springs to Aspen
- Colo. Highway 9, Silverthorne to Kremmling
- Colo. Highway 93, Golden to Boulder
- I-25, Colorado Springs to Monument
- I-25, Trinidad to New Mexico state line
- I-70, Floyd Hill, Mt. Vernon Canyon and Eagle
- I-76, Sterling to the Nebraska state line
- U. S. Highway 287, Fort Collins to the Wyoming state line
- U.S. Highway 160, Pagosa Springs to Cortez
- U.S. Highway 285, Antero Junction to Fairplay
- U.S. Highway 285, Morrison
- U.S. Highway 34, Loveland into the Big Thompson River canyon
- U.S. Highway 36, Boulder to Lyons
- U.S. Highway 50, Monarch Pass to Montrose

text: 3/24/07 "Hey everyone! I am fresh off of my Pro Day at Ole Miss, where I think it went extremely well. I ran the 40 yard dash in 4.37 seconds after measuring in at 6-1, 235 pounds. I am confident that I showed that have top-flight speed to go with the production that I generate on the field. I believe I opened many eyes around the country and now I can focus on the next task at hand; which is preparing for the interviews with some teams individually. Right now I am getting ready to go to Dallas to do an "Under Armour" commercial on Monday. I am very excited to be chosen as an athlete to represent such a large and successful company. I have never really done anything like this before, so I am not sure what to expect. It is exciting though, and I am sure I will love the finished product, so be looking for the spot with me in it! After the Pro Day, I hung out around Oxford, Mississippi and then had a day to unwind a little before heading to Dallas. I have not put off my workouts though; I am continuing to work to improve my status with NFL teams every day. I got a good workout in Thursday of this week. Today, I needed a recovery day, and so have been playing some Madden with friends, and just relaxing on the couch. I am actually in the middle of a game (paused at halftime) right now. I got Tampa Bay as my squad, but we usually rotate teams. I am down 14-7 but it's anyone's game in the second half. Right now, I know I have meetings set up with several teams, with Cincinnati, Washington and Philadelphia coming up soon. I have also been doing a lot of interviews on national radio shows and TV networks. It is tough to keep them all straight sometimes, but I do know I will be talking to the Buffalo Bills' radio network later on this week. My schedule for the next couple of days is pretty calm aside from the whole "Under Armour" thing... I like to play it by ear. Mainly, I am concentrating on lifting weights and doing positional work and keeping my mind and body right. I am glad to have had the chance to come back to Oxford and work out at school. It might be one of the last times I work out around there. Thanks for keeping up with me and reading the events in my life. I will let you all know how the commercial shoot goes. Click, Clack! Patrick ---------------------- While he is Dallas why not get an interview with him? I hope the football gods let this kid go to Washington or Philly. Julius Jones won't be able to get out of the backfield with him on the other side of the line, lol. This kid is going to be a good one and should be long gone before we pick at #22, but you never know. I would sure love to see him playing ILB as opposed to Bradie 'i don't where i am' James.

[quote user="DavenIII"]So uh, not to bring this crap up again but this is interesting....
Anyone hear about the fact that the 911 call by Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin situation was HEAVILY edited by NBC to make it sound more racist?
They cut it up to make him say, "This guy looks like he's up to no good, he looks black"
what really happened was a somewhat more in depth description, Zimmerman mentions that there have been many break in's in his town recently and this kid was walking around outside in the rain acting as though he was on drugs, he reports this to the 911 operator...who then asks if the kid is white/black or Hispanic...to which he answers he looks black.
The NEWS...isn't NEWS anymore...it's entertainment.
kinda goes back to how they changed the photgraphs of both people to skew the public's reaction.</P>

Here's an example of 1960's ska (and one of my favorite songs):
Now all the bands in the 1980's/1990's that are categorized as ska are more properly referred to as New Age/Third Wave ska. This includes bands such as: Sublime, Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Save Ferris etc.
Very similar, but with obvious differences. Third Wave ska introduced more influences of punk music that was made popular in the late 1970's and 1980's when punk music and hardcore punk became a sub cultural phenomenon in the US and England. Punk influences ska, reggae influences punk, but everything in popular music (and I mean literally everything) comes from blues music.
I could write a freakin' book on music especially punk, ska, and reggae.
Sorry I had to go off like that I just can't help myself when it comes to music.
Let's put the women and children to bed and go lookin' for dinner
The Swan Lake Waltz is my favorite by Tchaikovsky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CShopT9QUzw
And of course Beethoven, Mozart, all of those guys are terrific.
Mood: WOOF!
Do you know the movie This is England? If you don't it's a great movie and has all of those punk/ska bands in there. It's about the skinhead movement in the 1980' in England, and of course Ska was very popular in that era like you mentioned.
Mood: WOOF!

The sellers are both. You may even see someone carrying a rifle slung over his shoulder with a 4 sale tag. (these have to be checked in at the door) It can be hit or miss with when you go. If it's to early,say on a Sunday, some tables may not be open yet. The gun you want most likely will be sold by a dealer.(ffl#1) As far as price, it will probably be the same no matter when you go. You could always try to talk them down in price.
Most of the dealers are about the same in price. Walk around and check first.Then TRY to remember where you saw a better deal. Don't be in a hurry! You WILL be ticked if you buy from the first dealer you come to and find one cheaper later on in the show! (I know) Good luck,enjoy and try not to get a stiff neck.

Don Rickles visits Snoqualmie Casino
Father of all that is insult-comedy, Don Rickles brought his standup routine to Snoqualmie Casino Sunday, April 28th.
KOMO NewsRadio's Art Sanders was one of those lucky audience members who got the chance to meet Rickles, and chat with him about his career.
The interview opened up with fantastic sarcasm:
Art: Hello is this Don?
Don: No, it's Sherlock Holmes!
Rickles went on to talk about his routine, saying "There's no formula. There's a beginning, a middle, and an end."
Everything in between changes depending the audience. Rickles compares himself to a fighter, having to feel out the crowd and keep on his toes while on stage.
Younger generations tend to recognize Rickles for his voice as the iconic Mr. Potato Head.
"Leave me alone! I don't do cartoons," said Rickles after he was approached for the role in Toy Story.
Seventeen years later people still equate him with the grouchy but loveable, character.
This isn't his first visit to Seattle. Rickles has been in Seattle before, mentioning "Seattle's alotta fun if the sun comes out."
Despite Sander's best efforts, Rickles wouldn't give up the goods. No free jokes from this stand up comic.
Rickles is continuing his act around the country, leaving audiences in stitches. Check to see if he's coming to a city near you, chances are he is, because really, no one is safe.

There is quite a lot of buzz surrounding this debut author's work. Perhaps it is the comparison to a cross between Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games (that's not what it is, however). Maybe it is the fact it has already been optioned for a movie produced and starring Emma Watson. Or possibly it is just the sheer wonder that comes with a new fascinating fantasy trilogy. Whatever the case, The Queen of the Tearling invites you to escape to a magical fantasy world whose past lies in our own ruins.
It begins, as many fantasy stories do, in an isolated forest cottage. Our heroine, Kelsea, has lived most of her life here, studying most knowledge from the past while preparing herself for her coronation as queen at age 19. Her education is unusual, covering self defense to history, but lacks a key component—anything to do with her mother's reign. On her birthday, she sets out with the Queen's guard of soldiers, leaving her guardians behind and entering into a world of danger and deception.
Her Journey is fraught with peril and assassins, and Kelsea is unsure who to trust. Even if she reaches the palace alive, her Uncle, the regent, poses a threat to her survival. And then there is the huge secret that has been kept from her, which will change how she views her mother and kingdom forever.
The book is gripping and intriguing, adding a whole layer behind the fantasy to set the book in a future dystopia, while appearing as a traditional fantasy. Truthfully, I would have appreciated more of the back story on the Crossing, which is when technology was lost, but hopefully that will come in the next book of the series. The Queen of the Tearling does not end on an enormous cliffhanger, but it does leave you wondering what will happen next and when the next book will be out.
I hope you are as excited as I am to read this new title and author. The book comes out July 8. For anyone interested, you can place a hold here or call the library at 440-250-5462 and have us place a hold for you.

The happy coincidence of accidentally leaving your pants fly open, and the corner of your shirt poking out of your fly in such a way so as to form a shirt dick that may be mistaken for your very own penis. A largely unfortunate and unintentional occurrence. Worse when wearing skin tone coloured shirts.
I was in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to do up my fly. To add insult to injury, after a morning of travelling on public transport and polite conversation with customers, I looked down to discover not only my open fly, but that I was also sporting a rather impressive shirt dick.

Brick Bread!
Hi there!
I am very new to this forum and was wondering if I could ask for some advice?
I am trying to make bread using Jamie's 'Basic Bread' recipe from his first book. However, I am having a lot of trouble with the results. My problem is the end result is usually a rock hard brick of bread that is very doughy and almost soggy in the middle and rock hard on the outside.
I usually knead the mixture for around 10 minutes, first prove for around a hour and 45 minutes for the second. I then bake it for about an hour.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance!

Re: Brick Bread!
Maybe you need to prove it for longer. Is it doubling in size during each prove? Is it warm enough in the place it's proving? There are other people here who are more experienced with bread than me but that might start you off (and keep this topic on the front page).

Re: Brick Bread!
Hi...also new at this!!!
Afraid I cannot help you except you only need to bake the bread for 25 minutes and it is possible that your oven could be faulty. Tried Jamies's bread from his 1st book and then went on to doing the Ciabatta at step 8. Everthing turned out very well except for the texture which was kinda like ordinary bread inside and not the usual ciabatta texture inside.
How does one achieve this kind of texture.

Re: Brick Bread!
I had that problem a while back as well...It turned out that I was baking the bread at too high of a temperature, perhaps try lowering the temp and giving it slightly more time.
Trial and error works well...but it may take a while

Re: Brick Bread!
Hi, two things to watch out for:
Water may be too hot when adding it to the yeast (thus killing it). Hand hot only (approx 37 to 40 oC).
Too much salt kills the yeast, or at least stops it from working (as a rule of thumb i go for 1 teaspoon per 500g of flour).
If the mix is right and it's warm and moist all the time then you should have no problems.

text: In 2010 Browns played the Saints in NO. Looking at the box score, Cleveland's defense only gave up 17 points and intercepted Brees 4 times and sacked him 3 times. Now I didn't see the game so I don't know the details of how the game went down. Looking at the box score, it looks like all the Saints offensive players were playing. So it wasn't like the Saints were missing key starters on offense. Obviously, Rob had a scheme against Brees that worked. If Rob can pull another rabbit out of the hat and only give up 17 points this Sunday, we will win.

There is indeed a difference between old and tragic, Maree. I'm old enough to remember when the Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. Tragic is my naive belief that they may do so again in my lifetime. Toronto AM640 radio ran an ad a few years back that said "Mr. Transmission has been in business since before Toronto last won the Cup", to which a second voice replied "They had cars then?� Priceless!

Holland 3-0 Italy
Monday, June 9
Robin van Persie enjoyed a cameo role as Holland recorded a hugely-impressive 3-0 win over Italy in their opening Euro 2008 game.
Marco van Basten's side took the game to the world champions and were rewarded after 26 minutes when Ruud van Nistelrooy converted Wesley Sneijder cross-shot from close range. The Real Madrid striker was clearly offside but, to Italy's dismay, the goal stood.
The Azzurri went close to an equaliser five minutes later when Gio van Bronckhorst cleared a header off his own line. Within seconds, Holland had doubled their advantage after a classic counter-attack. Van Bronckhorst, having denied Italy a goal, charged down the left and picked out Dirk Kuyt with a cross-field pass. The Liverpool striker nodded the ball down to Sneijder, who volleyed smartly past Gianluigi Buffon.
Buffon made a fine save to deny Van Nistelrooy on the stroke of half-time but could not keep out Van Bronckhorst's header from Kuyt's cross following another sweeping breakaway from the Dutch with 10 minutes left. Once again Holland had turned defence to attack in an instant; seconds before, Edwin van der Sar had kept out Andrea Pirlo's free-kick.
By now Van Persie was on the pitch - he replaced Van Nistelrooy with 20 minutes left - and the Arsenal forward looked sharp after recovering from a thigh injury. He wriggled past two challenges and flashed a shot just wide of Buffon's far post as Holland threatened right to the final whistle.
The Dutch now face France in Berne on Friday.

A "You didn't build that" convention?
posted at 6:31 pm on July 29, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Could Democrats really be this tone deaf? For nearly two weeks, Team Obama has been reeling from his "you didn't build that" comment — to the extent that Barack Obama himself had to cut a personal response ad to stanch the bleeding, so far to no avail. And yet, the Charlotte Observer picks up on a Boston Globe report from ten days ago that the "buzz" around the Democratic convention (such as it is) has the author of that argument, Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, under serious consideration to be the keynote speaker at the DNCC:
The crowds at political conventions feast on partisan red meat, and they could end up with a bellyful when the Republicans and Democrats meet back to back beginning late next month.
An Obama campaign official confirmed to the Globe Wednesday that US Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is being considered as a possible keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
It would give the Massachusetts Democrat a national platform for her high-profile race against Senator Scott Brown, the same launch pad that Barack Obama used to vault into the public consciousness when he was an Illinois state Senator and was tapped to be the keynote speaker at the 2004 party meeting in Boston.
The Observer didn't add much yesterday, but the new spotlight on the July 19th Globe story is certainly increasing the "buzz." It's even more interesting that the Globe cited an official from Team Obama, anonymously, as the source of this information.
However, take into consideration the date that this trial balloon got floated. The Roanoke speech took place on July 13th, when Obama first adopted Warren's rhetoric on the beneficence of government accounting for all economic growth. The blowback didn't start in earnest until July 17th, when Mitt Romney blasted Obama in a widely-hailed speech that launched an entirely new attack strategy on Obama. I'd bet that the Warren trial balloon got leaked to the Globe's Glen Johnson somewhere between the July 13th speech and Romney's rebuttal, or perhaps as late as the 18th, before it became apparent that Obama had stepped all over his own message by adopting Warren's rhetoric.
Once again, take a look at this mashup of Obama and Warren delivering essentially the same message — that small business owners only succeed through the contributions of others to infrastructure, which ignores the fact that infrastructure exists in large part because of the wealth created by those who take risks to expand markets and create new ones. With all of the backpedaling that Team Obama has had to conduct over the last two weeks on this point, do Democrats still want this strident, angry speaker to pontificate further as the keynote speaker at the national convention, explaining to a prime-time audience that small businesses are just barely-tolerated parasites on the body proletariat?
At least Democrats would present their attitudes toward free enterprise honestly if they led off the festivities with this rant. We're probably not that lucky. I suspect that the Warren-as-keynote-speaker trial balloon got popped the moment Obama had to cut that "Romney's unfair for quoting me accurately" campaign ad.
