Swiss style cheese is best served at room temperature. As with any food, this will allow you to experience maximum flavour when enjoying the cheese.
Take the cheese out of the fridge about 20 to 30 min before you plan to serve it. Depending on the season and current temperatures outside, allow more or less time for the "warming" of the cheese after removing it from the fridge. Serve the cheese on a wooden, ceramic or glass platter with dried fruit, fresh garden vegetables, olives, crackers and quince paste. Serve milder, creamier and softer cheeses with white wines, complement stronger, harder and sharper cheeses with a stronger red wine. For more info on cheese and wine matching check out our cheese and wine matching site!
When using a wooden cheese board, make sure the board is not oiled with strong smelling oil types or is made of a strong flavour" wood type such as Camphor laurel, or the oil or wood might affect the flavour of the cheese.

Chano Urueta before his death in 1979 is quite the legend in Mexican film history. His body of work has span for almost 3 decades, and he is one of the pioneers of this new wave of Mexican horror in the 50's. One of the films that was always credited was this film called Monster. For me, I think my sights were set extremely high by this film just for the historical factor of it. Sadly to say by films end, my sights hit reality really hard. Well, the film is basically about a young female journalist who is named Nora, well she has a job interview for this exciting job and she finds out the person interviewing her is a brilliant scientist on the surface but is truly a deranged and odd madman like character. This tries to have the feel of old school horror films, but it just comes across so flat to me. In a way I would assume this is his Mexican version of a Frankenstein film. The film is not all a waste, it has a good look, I mean old school fans may get their hearts warmed by the nostalgic this film gives to the viewer. This film was shot in black and white and thank god, I think color could have hurt this film.
This film struggles so much with the bad script and terrible acting, it is like this film only wanted to create this film to compete with old school horror, but not compete with old school acting. Today's horror bunch would not last ten minutes on this film before being totally bored, old school like me, may watch it all the way just for how bad it is, but the generation before me, may enjoy it a little bit than all of us combined.

San Francisco 49ers
Lynch will right S.F. ship, those close to new GM say
One man who stood side by side with John Lynch on Sundays recalled a colleague who dedicated himself to preparation during the week.
A man who could watch film and discern the game's subtlest nuances.
A man who, on game days, though he wasn't calling the plays or grappling in the trenches, exuded a presence that inspired the rest of the team around him.
"He is a leader of men," said Kevin Burkhardt, who partnered with Lynch on FOX NFL television broadcasts the past four seasons. "I know it's a different thing (than playing), but he led us. You can ask anybody on the crew, you can ask the tape editors, the camera guys. He was our leader.
"That ability to lead men, to lead an organization – I don't think a lot of people have that. I just don't. It doesn't come along naturally."
The 49ers bet big on Lynch's ability to lead last week, when they surprised the football world by hiring the 45-year-old former star safety as their new general manager. Lynch had never held a front-office position in the NFL before Sunday. Now, under a six-year contract, he is tasked with guiding the 49ers back to competitiveness following one of the worst seasons in the franchise's storied history.
As initial shock over the selection – elevated by a covert hiring process that Lynch later admitted was calculated – wore off, opinions poured in. Skeptics cited Lynch's lack of experience as an executive. None question his grasp of the game after playing 15 years in the NFL and eight more as a broadcaster. But assembling a front office? Running a draft? Building a roster?
It seems understood that Lynch's newness – and that of Kyle Shanahan, the Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator who is expected to be the 49ers' next head coach – to his impending role makes forecasting his performance impossible. Still, over the past week, a contingent of NFL voices, many of them Lynch's former teammates and coaches, combined to form a picture of Lynch as an intelligent, communicative, motivated individual whose foray into management has left them, if not overtly optimistic, at least intrigued.
Perhaps the most succinct endorsement of Lynch came from Stanford coach David Shaw. Addressing Bay Area reporters Wednesday, Shaw, who played with Lynch at Stanford in the early 1990s, acknowledged his was an "unconventional hire" to the San Francisco Chronicle, before stating why he expects the 49ers' gamble to pay off.
"John doesn't fail at anything," Shaw said. "John's never failed at anything."
From hitting baseballs to hitting receivers
Lynch might have been a baseball player. Selected in the second round of the 1992 major-league draft by the expansion Florida Marlins, Lynch played minor-league ball that summer and considered forgoing his senior year at Stanford, where he had been moved from quarterback to safety.
Ironically, a 49ers legend helped shape his decision. As Lynch recalled during a conference call Monday, head coach Bill Walsh, back for his second stint at Stanford, "begged me to come back for my senior year because he thought I could become a Pro Bowl safety. I thought coach Walsh was crazy at the time. But he convinced me to do it."
Walsh wasn't crazy. Lynch made five Pro Bowls in his first 11 seasons with Tampa Bay, also helping lead the once-downtrodden Buccaneers to a win over the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. Released by Tampa Bay in 2003, Lynch signed with the Broncos and made the Pro Bowl in all four of his seasons in Denver.
Known for his punishing hits on ballcarriers, Lynch also made an impression on teammates. Brad Johnson, the quarterback who roomed with Lynch when both played in Tampa, told 95.7 The Game this week that Lynch was "respected by everyone" and "always looking for tips, looking for clues." He recalled Lynch regularly rising for early-morning workouts – even at the Pro Bowl.
"That's who he was – he was a workaholic kind of guy," Johnson said. "You almost had to slow him down at times."
Lynch is a fourth-time finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame and could cap a banner week if he is among the enshrinees announced Saturday. He referenced the path of his playing career on Monday's conference call.
"There's a lot of things in my life," Lynch said, "that haven't been conventional."
Deep football insight
In a way, that made Burkhardt a fitting broadcast partner. Burkhardt had been reporting on the New York Mets before joining FOX in 2013 to do play-by-play for NFL games. Paired with Lynch as an analyst, the two quickly became the network's No. 2 team.
One aspect of working with Lynch, Burkhardt said in a phone interview, surfaced during their preparation for calling a game.
"I'd always learn something about the team, and learn something about football, that I didn't know, I didn't catch from watching and that certainly hadn't been talked about or written before," Burkhardt said.
Burkhardt offered a recent example. Before calling the Falcons' win over the Seahawks in the NFC divisional round, Lynch called Burkhardt over to a film monitor and pointed out a strategy that Shanahan, the Falcons' offensive coordinator, had used in Atlanta's previous meeting against Seattle.
"The Seahawks don't normally blitz much, but they started to blitz more this year than they ever had," Burkhardt said. "And (Lynch is) like, 'Most teams are going to do this in protection, or they're going to keep a back in to help protect, to stop the blitz.'
"He's like, 'Watch what Kyle does. He brings in a two-back set. And he throws (running backs Devonta) Freeman and (Tevin) Coleman out on a route. So now you're blitzing – but you are dead if you don't get to the quarterback.' And sure enough, in the playoff game, that bore fruit, because (Seattle) did it a couple times and got torched on it."
Burkhardt said in recent years he had chatted with Lynch about the latter's interest in a front-office job, and "I think I thought at some point he would be running a team." Still, for many, the news was unexpected. While the 49ers interviewed some publicly known candidates for their GM role in recent weeks, they kept Lynch's candidacy largely quiet.
Later, Lynch admitted he'd requested that from the 49ers, who in recent years have been known for information leaks, putting his potential new employer to the test.
"I made a big deal that this stay quiet," Lynch said on KNBR radio. "Part of the rumors are things fly out of that building. So I wanted to see, could I trust that building? So that was part of my thinking."
'He's going to be fine'
At the same time, Lynch said he was open with the 49ers about his limitations. Multiple times during Monday's call with reporters he stated, "I know what I don't know." His background has already led some to posit a spectrum for his success, with two recent GMs at the poles.
One is John Elway, the Hall of Fame quarterback who became Denver's executive vice president of football operations in 2011 and from 2012 to 2015 led the Broncos to four division titles and two Super Bowls, including a win in Super Bowl 50. Though new to NFL management then, Elway did have some previous experience in a front office, as a co-owner of the Arena Football League's Colorado Crush.
Lynch has been open about Elway's influence on him, which included inviting Lynch to observe the Broncos' operation during a recent offseason, and indicated in a recent TV appearance that Elway may have helped plant the seed of his career change in his mind.
"He always challenged me," Lynch said on FS1. " 'This is something you need to do. You can do this – and you can do it well.' "
The other is Matt Millen, a former linebacker who went directly from a FOX booth to the Detroit Lions' front office in 2001. In seven-plus seasons with Millen as their top football executive, the Lions went 31-84, firing Millen three games into the 2008 season, which they finished 0-16.
Millen told The Associated Press this week that he was surprised by how little the GM role involved football strategy. "What you had to do," he said, "was manage your people so you could get the right people and manage your coaches so you could perform at the highest level. It's a people job. It's about human capital."
Is Lynch prepared for that role? Yes, according to Jon Gruden, his former coach in Tampa Bay.
"Forget about his talent as a player, the statistics, the longevity, the durability, the instincts and all that stuff," Gruden told the East Bay Times. "He's a leader of men, and he's a great communicator. And those are two things that are critical at the general manager position.
"Most importantly, he's got a great work ethic, and he's charismatic. If you're a leader, can communicate and have a great work ethic, those are the things you're looking for. He's going to be fine."
Return to a winning culture?
The 49ers have finished a season 2-14 three other times in franchise history. One of those was Walsh's first as head coach. Two years later, they won a Super Bowl, starting a heady run of five championships in 13 years.
Recent times have been leaner, outside of three consecutive NFC title game appearances from 2011 to 2013 under coach Jim Harbaugh. And for Steve Young, the hiring of Lynch represents an attempt by the 49ers to hearken back to the type of culture Walsh created.
"I think (Lynch) learned a ton of what fell out and came out of the roots of what the Niners did in those years," Young said on KNBR this week. "It feels like we're getting back to that rooted-ness, and I'm happy about that."
In a statement announcing Lynch's hire, 49ers CEO Jed York lauded his new GM as a "Hall of Fame-caliber man, one who people are compelled to follow."
Where exactly Lynch will lead the 49ers is unknown. Of his qualifications for the job, the most valuable may also be the hardest to quantify.
"I'll tell you this," said Burkhardt, the FOX broadcaster. "We're doing these games on Sunday, and of course we're all wanting to kick (butt) and do a great job for ourselves, for our team, all of that. But I felt like Sunday, I needed to do a good job for him.
"Look, I'm obviously going to push myself anyway. But he just gave it that other level. You felt like you're inspired by him, and you need to try to up your game to be around him. I don't think a lot of people have that quality. It's just different."

Fragile X Awareness Day on July 22nd aims to create an understanding for a condition affecting about 100,000 Australians each year.
64% of females suffering from this condition experience developmental delay or intellectual disability. 94% of males do.
What is it?
Fragile X syndrome is extremely similar to Autism, except that is it genetically contracted and can be tested with a simple blood test. Yet although it has been found in all parts of the world, the majority are yet to be diagnosed.
Sufferers can experience obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, self-injury and severe development issues including learning and speech difficulties. In fact, it is the most known cause of inherited intellectual and developmental disability. They may also even experience physical manifestations of the disease from loose joints to seizures. Female carriers of Fragile X can experience menopause as early as twenty-four.
Fragile X is caused by a gene mutation that causes a low production of protein vital for normal brain development. It has no existing cure and is passed down genetically through carriers of the disease. Females are more likely to carry on the gene.
Who does it affect?
Every week in Australia one child is born who is fully affected and 20 children are born who are carriers. The Fragile X mutation often increases when passed from mother to child and down through the generations of a family, meaning that children born with the disease frequently appear in families with no previous history of intellectual disability and must quickly learn to deal with the conditions. Fragile X can affect males and females of all cultural backgrounds at any age. Many carriers who see no symptoms do not know that they are affected until child birth or they experience the early on set of menopause or osteoporosis.
Fragile X can also affect teachers, friends, medical practitioners, psychologists, employers and anyone close to a sufferer or carrier.
How can I help?
The best way to get involved this Fragile X day is by holding a small scale event amongst family or friends or even in the office. A simple morning tea, dinner party or picnic can help raise awareness for a disease that affects as many Australians as cystic fibrosis.
If you are interested in holding an event, contact the Fragile X Association of Australia here for information on fundraising. They have posters, ribbons and other items available for sale to promote awareness for diseases that are not rare, just veiled behind common misconception.
If you're not able to hold an event but you would still like to contribute to the cause, then you can make a donation to the Fragile X Association of Australia here. All proceeds go to helping Australian families coping with the condition.

Justin Estes, whom I coached in football and baseball at Marietta, is now a freshman at Southern Mississippi University. Last Saturday he kicked three field goals in front of 106,000 people while playing against the University of Tennessee. Justin's first ever field goal in high school was a 37 yard game-winner in an inprobable upset of Parkersburg South (one of the best games I've ever seen). I also saw him kick a 53 yarder at Fawcett stadium against Glen Oak a few years ago.
Not bad. I once kicked a stuffed frog and broke my toe.

Bennett's future at Knights in doubt
Wayne Bennett admits his future at the Newcastle Knights is up in the air and will remain in doubt until the NRL club solves its ownership crisis.
The supercoach says no one at the organisation has any idea whether their current contracts will be honoured if Nathan Tinkler's ownership of the Knights comes to an end, as is expected.
The Knights Members Club have issued Hunter Sports Group (HSG) with a deadline to hand back control of the club by the end of the week, however for the buying process to begin, the signatures of Tinkler and HSG chief executive Troy Palmer are required.
If that ultimatum isn't met, the ownership battle is set to go to the courts.
The issue came to a head on Friday, when 20 staff and players, including Bennett weren't paid their monthly wages.
Bennett's contract with Newcastle was signed with HSG and not the Knights and if Tinkler's reign is indeed over, the final year of the 64-year-old's four-year deal will be cast into doubt.
He expects the situation to become clearer within the next week.
"Until the new ownership model is in place no one knows what the future is here to be honest with you," said Bennett on Sunday.
"Once it's in place they might make different decisions so we'll have to wait and see.
"I've got no idea what the new model will be and I've got to wait and see like everybody else.
"I don't have a position on it (ownership). I haven't been asked my position on it and it's got nothing to do with me. Other people run the administration of the club and I don't want to get involved.
"I'm as much in the dark as anybody else is but I would think next week a decision should be made and we all will know where we stand."
Bennett has the unenviable task of getting his team up for an NRL match on Monday night, with the Knights facing a fourth straight defeat if they go down to Manly at Brookvale Oval.
To compound the uncertainty gripping the club, Bennett revealed Origin hopeful Beau Scott (stomach) will join the list of unavailables for Monday night - although the back rower would be in no doubt for State of Origin I if selected.
Newcastle are also missing Joey Leilua and Jeremy Smith.
Bennett says he's spoken to staff and players about the payment situation and believes all are focused on the match at hand.
Newcastle legend Andrew Johns said he'd spoken to Knights players and confirmed the mood in the camp was dire.
"Morale is low. You can see by on-field performances," Johns said on Channel Nine's Footy Show.
Fullback Darius Boyd is reportedly owed upwards of $200,000 on failed third party deals and he's also believed to be one of the players not paid last week.
The Queenslander has been noticeably poor this season, with another Knights great Matthew Johns believing that the payment crisis has something to do with Boyd's form.
Matthew Johns said on Triple M on Sunday that there were rumours doing the rounds that Bennett's relationship with Tinkler has become "strained to say the least."
Manly coach Geoff Toovey was at the ill-fated Northern Eagles when players weren't being paid back in the early 2000s and expects the Knights to power through the controversy.
"Coming from a club that's been through some of those dramas I think it galvanises a side," he said.
Canterbury remain on top of the ladder after notching their seventh-straight win over the Warriors, while Cronulla are last after falling to Wests Tigers 22-20 on Saturday night.
Parramatta and Melbourne moved into the top four with emphatic victories over St George Illawarra and South Sydney respectively.

So--there it was. A blizzard of 6 - 8 inches of snow fell on Kodiak May 13th, last weekend. Raising the question, "Are You Alaskan enough"? Clearly the answer is yes. If I have to wade out of the house on Mother's Day in my dress-up red necklace out into fresh snow, I want some recognition for it. Sympathy at least. I ran into a fishing neighbor who lives in Seattle during the winter and comes up to Kodiak to commercial fish in the summers.
"David! How are you?"
"Wow! It's good to be in Kodiak. Happy to see the rain. I just had to get away from that 80 degree weather in Seattle.
I look at him with narrowed eyes. He was complaining about needing to escape 80 degrees after our eight months of winter? And a coming "summer" that would deliver only a few warm sunny days? He is not Alaskan enough. Sorry, coming only for the summers doesn't count.
I only thought of this phrase because that same weekend millions of readers were gaping at the photo of an almost 4-year old camo-clad man-child standing on a chair with his mother's breast in his mouth.
But here's the answer to the question to the question, why I did not nurse my toddlers. And it's related to the blizzard. "There's a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot." For me, it came time to uproot each of my (six) breastfeeding simply had to end. (Someday I'll tell the story of how I weaned my last child. I went out commercial fishing for a week, arms pressed to leaking breasts while fishing in storms.)
Winter, too, must come to an end, eventually. There is a right time for all things, appointed seasons. It's hard for us to let go, but we have to. The nursing babies got their licences, flew 4000 miles away to college, now live in El Salvador, study in California and New Zealand. They'll eventually settle, likely, a zillion miles from Kodiak.
The snowy mountain WILL turn green by mid-June. I may be able to sink my toes into green grass in a few weeks. The salmon will soon start--and I'll head out to fishcamp.
The seasons turn---slowly, sometimes, dumping snow when we're sick of it, hurtling us toward 22 hour daylit days, fishing nets in the water. Babies sprout teeth and learn to run the next day, and we're shoveling snow month after month, the seasons turning . . .
"I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time." There is beauty in all of these things, but our burden is that we often miss it on our time. Our time is not its time. IT's hard to see beauty in a May blizzard, in brown hills that refuse to green, in babies who grow up too fast and leave too soon. But we can.
I'm still learning this, to release my demands and receive what comes, looking, looking intently by faith, for what might be found-----beautiful.

Yes, really ...
Last summer lots of you came on our free Preview Retreats - it was indoor glamping, with unfinished building work around us, primitive conditions and lots of work to be done in return for your board and lodging! We had a blast; you came and loved it! You decorated and weeded, built a gazebo and a Communion table, cleaned windows and washed out the piggeries - and met with the Lord and with each other.
Let's do it again!
Come on retreat for free.
Only this time, the house is finished and it's very comfortable, our retreatants tell us! But we want to offer a free retreat again: because some of you can't afford to go on retreat, some of you need to go on retreat; and we need some help to get the house and grounds ready for the summer.
Here's the deal.
- Arrive Monday March 31st in time for lunch. Depart Friday April 4th after breakfast.
- Accommodation is in twin ensuite rooms, and you get full board - including home baking for afternoon teas, Aga porridge for breakfast, and so on. Bring a room mate if you like or we can allocate roomshares.
- Spend mornings and evenings on retreat. There will be plenty of time and space for quiet, for reflection (including led prayer times in the chapel) and for BEing. You can have breakfast in bed if you prefer!
- each afternoon, 2-5pm, you will be helping to get the house and grounds ready for the summer. You might clean windows, weed a flower bed, paint the garden furniture, dust the beams ...
- weather permitting, the outdoor fire pit may be in use in the evenings for hot chocolate sippings. And the wood burners in the sitting room and library will be in use too of course.
PLACES ARE LIMITED to just 10 people, so if you would like to come and be involved, receive from the Lord and give some help, please email NOW to apply for one of the places: firstname.lastname@example.com
You need to be able to come for the full retreat; be willing to help; and wanting to have some time on retreat to receive from the Lord. You will be sharing a twin room, and will have all meals provided while you are here.

Throughout the book, I have used diagrams to represent the state of running programs.
In Variables, we used a state diagram to show the names and values of variables. In Stack Diagrams I introduced a stack diagram, which shows one frame for each function call. Each frame shows the parameters and local variables for the function or method. Stack diagrams for recursive functions appear in Stack Diagrams for Recursive Functions and More Recursion.
Lists Are Mutable shows what a list looks like in a state diagram, Dictionaries and Lists shows what a dictionary looks like, and Dictionaries and Tuples shows two ways to represent tuples.
Attributes introduces object diagrams, which show the state of an object's attributes, and their attributes, and so on. Rectangles has object diagrams for Rectangles and their embedded Points. Time shows the state of a Time object. Class Attributes has a diagram that includes a class object and an instance, each with their own attributes.
Finally, Class Diagrams introduces class diagrams, which show the classes that make up a program and the relationships between them.
These diagrams are based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which is a standardized graphical language used by software engineers to communicate about program design, especially for object-oriented programs.
UML is a rich language with many kinds of diagrams that represent many kinds of relationship between objects and classes. What I presented in this book is a small subset ...

There is no peace without justice – and the experience of peace that we find in meditation awakens a stronger commitment to witness and work for justice in all areas of life.
In a world of increasing political tension and terrorist violence, economic and social injustice and financial corruption, Meditatio stimulates the awareness of the vital connection between interior and external peace and between personal transformation and social change.
A Meditatio Seminar on Meditation and Justice brought together, lawyers, lawmakers, judges and prisoners to explore the meaning of meditation in their experience. Meditators in the community bring the gift of peace to those who suffer from injustice, the homeless and marginalised, those trapped in poverty and the incarcerated. They also link social action to spirituality.

To strains of "You're Still The One," Senator Edward Kennedy exited stage left, surrounded by family–heading to a tribute at Boston Symphony Hall. "The only thing we have to fear," he told the cheering crowd, "is four more years of George Bush….We will retire Cheney to an undisclosed location."
Across the river, earlier in this afternoon, Michael Moore nearly caused a riot when some 3,000 people descended on the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge for a confab with America's hottest film-maker. Earlier that day, some Bush spokesman had called Moore "the leader of the hate and vitriol celebrity." Two thousand people were turned away by the organizers–the Campaign for America's Future–but they soon gathered on a side street outside the hotel, awaiting Moore's arrival later that afternoon.
Inside the hall, Moore enthralled the crowd with tales of Dale Earnhardt Jr, tirades against the corporate media, jabs at Disney and its honcho Michael Eisner, advice for John Kerry and a warning to Ralph Nader.
Check out these riffs:
* "The true patriots are those who think it's important to ask tough questions. The villain of my film is George W. but the unstated villains are the national media. My film outs them as shills for the Bush Administration, as people who were cheerleaders for the Bush Administration, as journalists who fell asleep on the job. We the people need you in the media to ask the tough questions. Don't be afraid of being called un-American. It'spro-American to ask the tough questions."
* "Whether they use labels or not, most Americans in their heart are either liberal or progressive. It's only a minority who hate. The people running this country are not patriots, they're hatriots."
* "I predict that we'll see the largest percentage of people voting in our lifetime. It's cool now to talk about politics."
* "Dale Earnhardt Jr took his crew to see Fahrenheit 9-11 to prepare for a big race and then he said all of America should see this movie. Hope Bush wasn't eating pretzels watching that race."
* "Here's my plea to John Kerry and the Democrats. You will not win this election by being wimpy, weak, by failing to stand up for your convictions. Only way this is going to happen is if you stand up for what you believe, stand for a liberal/progressive agenda. If you move to the right you'll encourage millions to stay home."
* A word about Ralph (hisses in the hall)…"Yes, Republicans do love Ralph. Just came from Michigan and Ralph gathered fifty thousand signatures–forty-three of those gathered by Michigan Republicans…Ralph, you already did your job. The Democratic party of 2004 is not the Democratic Party of 2000. They got it. Howard Dean carried on and so did Dennis Kucinich…they helped push Dems to liberal/progressive side. Even the Al Gore of 2004 is not the Al Gore of 2000. My appeal to the Nader voters and Green voters…you have a different job to do this year. What you are doing is so misguided, so uncool. I wouldn't have Dems spend any time attacking Nader. They should be giving those people reasons to vote for Kerry."

Sounders Insider
Coaches react to Sounders-Timbers draw
Here's some of what the respective coaches had to say tonight after the Sounders (0-1-1) and Timbers (0-1-2) played to a 1-1 draw at CenturyLink Field.
Seattle coach SIGI SCHMIDOn the game: "Obviously we're disappointed with the result, giving up a late goal. I thought the first 20-25 minutes were good. I thought we stretched them and I thought we created some chances, got our goal, as well. After that, I think we let them into the game a little bit. I think our play was a little bit too slow. Our movement to the ball was too slow. It seemed like they were obviously pressing and were more ambitious in terms of winning 50-50 balls than we were, and that certainly turned the tide of the game. In the second half, we really didn't turn that around as much as we should have, maybe Tuesday was still in our legs a little bit. As a whole, we could have walked away tonight winning one-nothing, even though it wasn't a good performance. The good news is the group is here now, the team is here, so it gives us a chance to start working together and getting our cohesion down. We're still throwing out different people at different times, so it makes it hard to get that cohesion." On Portland's equalizing goal: "Wallace was a wide player who made a run inside so he goes unmarked a little bit. He's coming from DeAndre [Yedlin's] side. When you're in the box there you've maybe got to follow because it's a dangerous time to pass players on because other people maybe have marks and already have responsibilities. We didn't get pressure on [Andrew Jean-Baptiste], who played the ball in, and then Wallace runs through naked." On allowing Portland to equalize: "We have to manage the game through to the end of the game. A lot of times we brought pressure on ourselves in the last 15 minutes of the game by, instead of going forward with the ball, we'd come backward with the ball, when we could have put more pressure on them. They were tight defensively, which we knew they would be, and we knew there would be space behind, but we kept trying to play the feet and a couple of times it looked like we were getting behind. We were almost there, but there was a lot of physical play there, as well." On the strategy in the early part of the game: "We wanted to force them out on their right side, which would force them into Steve [Zakuani], as well. That's why the ball was a little more there, and I thought the first 20 minutes we did a good job of that and we forced the ball over to that side. Then Steve had opportunities to run at [Ben] Zemanski and we also created some turnovers by the ball coming out there. After that, we lost the plot a little bit."
On what was different in the second half: "I think our wide midfielders were too wide in the second half, and as a result of that it gave Portland the room inside and outnumbered our two central midfielders. We knew that was the case, but we knew we could shut that down, and we did at the beginning of the game. Like I said, we forgot to back to that and then they started connecting passes. As I said, the 50-50 balls went their way because they were a little better in terms of trying to win those balls back. Our team had a tough game on Tuesday, an emotional game. We came back, I thought we started well. We haven't started games well this season, so I thought this was our best start to a game and we got the lead. Normally we make that stand up. Now there's something that went right and you have built on what went right and eliminate what went wrong." On allowing the late goal in a derby match: "It doesn't matter who it is, it's 'They had a late goal.' We don't need them to have late goals and we've got to finish out games better." On the play of Osvaldo Alonso: "Ozzie I thought defensively was very good and recovered a lot of balls and did some good things for us, but offensively I think his game has got to get a little bit sharper for us, as well. I think sometimes there's some extra touches, but I'll never fault Ozzie for his effort and for his ability to win the ball back. If he does lose the ball, he's the first guy in there fighting and battling to try and get it back. Part of our game starts there in the middle of midfield, and today the movement of the ball in the middle of midfield wasn't quick enough." Portland coach CALEB PORTEROn coming away with a draw…) "Not only did we get a point, but they lost two points. It gives us a lot of belief moving forward. This team has a lot of mettle. I'm most proud of our effort defensively. We dug deep. We gave up a goal and obviously it was a counter again and we got punished for it. But overall, for 90 minutes, we defended very well against that team. That's a very dynamic team." On Rodney Wallace's goal: "He came off the bench for us and made a goal so I'm real happy with him, but it was a team effort. Everybody, at the end of the game, I thought really went to another level. It wasn't pretty, but they dug deep, they battled, they fought, never gave up, never quit. In the end, to score that goal, it was fair because they were rewarded for their effort." On what he told the team at halftime: "I was very composed and even-keeled with them because I really believed we'd come back. There was evidence of that in the first half with the way we were playing. I thought it was a very even half to be honest with you. In terms of flow and rhythm, we probably had the better of it. That's one of the nice things about the way we play, if we go down a goal, nothing changes, we're still going to have the ball, we're still going to push the game. You're going to see an even better level once we're up goals. But I never underestimate this team, I really don't." On if he got the sense that the team was going to come back: Very much. Part of that is that we've been down in games and we have a lot of belief. We've come back in games. Even in the Montreal match, we were pushing the game and had chances to tie the game. This team, they have that ability to come back so I think we were all very composed. We knew we had at least 45 minutes to score a goal and at least get a point out of it." On including Jack Jewsbury and Ben Zemanski in the starting lineup: "We wanted a couple more guys on the field that bring a little bit of fight and bite and grit. Those two guys certainly bring that. I thought they both had good games."

A few weeks ago I went out to see Paula Nelson play at the Saxon Pub.
I've always heard great things about the Saxon Pub. I had never been before and I was pumped to have a reason to go check it out. It's one of those bars in Austin that simply has amazing history. Many talented people have played on that stage and you can feel the energy hanging out in this space.
The show was nice and low key. There were only a few people in the bar but everyone was listening. I was fortunate to be there and have the opportunity to take some photos. Landis, her guitar player, may be one of the best guitar players I've seen play live. I enjoyed myself immensely.
I took this last shot while they were playing. I feel like it sums up the energy of my night pretty well. If you ever get a chance to either see Paula Nelson or go to the Saxon Pub or, better yet, go to the Saxon Pub to see Paula play, I would definitely recommend it.
Tata for now!

Obamacare in chaos as federal court strikes down tax credits for low-income Americans who buy insurance in 36 states – but different court backs policy within hours
- The Washington, D.C court of appeals ruled that the law, as written, only allows insurance subsidies in states that have set up their own exchanges
- An appeals court in Richmond, Virginia ruled unanimously that people who purchased coverage through the federal exchanges are also eligible for subsides
- The cases could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court
- Affected states include some of the most populous: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas
The future of Obamacare was uncertain today after a federal court in Washington, D.C. struck down tax subsidies for Americans who bought insurance through federally-funded exchanges.
Within hours the same policy was held up by another court, setting up a Supreme Court showdown.
The cases revolve around four words in the Affordable Care Act, which says the tax credits are available to people who enroll through an exchange 'established by the state.'
The rulings affect consumers who purchased their coverage through the federal insurance marketplace - or exchange- that serves 36 states.
If the first ruling is upheld by the nation's high court, more than half of the 8 million Americans who purchased taxpayer-subsidized insurance under the law could see premium increases.
Americans who are covered through the federal exchange will see no immediate changes to their policies, however, as the courts sort out the issue.
'In the meantime, to be clear, people getting premium tax credits should know that nothing has changed. Tax credits remain available,' Department of Justice spokeswoman Emily Pierce said in a statement after the first ruling.

Another setback: A federal appeals court delivered a serious setback to President Barack Obama's health care law this morning, potentially derailing subsidies for many low- and middle-income people who have bought policies
In flux: Obamacare enrollees in the 36 states that initially or eventually used the federal healthcare marketplace as opposed to their own could face a steep rate increase now that a federal court has struck down a critical piece of Affordable Care Act legislation

A three-judge panel in Washington, D.C. ruled 2-1 that the law, as written, only allows insurance subsidies in states that have set up their own exchanges.
The majority opinion concluded that the law, as written, 'unambiguously' restricts subsides to consumers in exchanges established by a state.
That would invalidate an Internal Revenue Service regulation that tried to sort out confusing wording in the law by concluding that Congress intended for consumers in all 50 states to have subsidized coverage.
The subsidies, in the form of tax credits, are available to people with annual incomes of up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, or $94,200 for a family of four.
Causing further uncertainty is a decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, that was handed down this afternoon.
That court said in a unanimous ruling that tax subsidies are indeed available people who bought their insurance through the federal exchanges.
The seemingly arcane issue is crucial to the success of the health law because most states have been unable or unwilling to set up their own exchanges.
The small business owners who challenged the law through the Washington, D.C. court say a literal reading of its language invalidates the IRS subsidy to people in the federal exchanges.
The opponents say that people who would otherwise qualify for the tax credits should be denied that benefit if they buy insurance on a federally facilitated exchange.
'It is implausible to believe that Congress gave the IRS discretion to authorize $150 billion per year in federal spending, particularly when Congress had directly spoken to this issue,' the D.C. Appeals court challengers said in a court filing.
'Major economic decisions like these - indeed, any decisions granting tax credits - must be made unambiguously by Congress itself.'
The Obama administration and congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act say the challengers are failing to consider the words of the statute in its entirety.
'It is pretty obvious what the congressional intent was here,' White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said, which was for every qualified American to receive a subsidy 'regardless of whether it was state officials or federal officials running the marketplace.'
Pierce said the D.C. ruling is 'at odds with the goal of the law.'
'We believe that this decision is incorrect, inconsistent with Congressional intent,' the Justice Department official said.
The Obama administration and congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act say the challengers to the law are failing to consider the words of the statute in its entirety
An appeals court filing by congressional and state legislative supporters of the Affordable Care Act, similarly argues that 'Congress did not provide that the tax credits would only be available to citizens whose states set up their own exchanges.'
Congressional lawmakers and state legislators who are against the law hope that by limiting the subsidies to state exchanges, they can destabilize important aspects of the law, such as the individual mandate requiring most people to buy insurance.
Andre Davis, a Senior Circuit Court Judge serving on the Richmond court, explained the court's decision this way:
'If I ask for pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch but clarify that I would be fine with a pizza from Domino's, and I then specify that I want ham and pepperoni on my pizza from Pizza Hut, my friend who returns from Domino's with a ham and pepperoni pizza has still complied with a literal construction of my lunch order.'
Davis and his colleagues voted to uphold what the Obama administration says was the 'intent' of law - subsidies for all qualified Americans, regardless of whether they signed up for coverage through the state or federal exchanges.
'Today's ruling highlights the ramifications of hastily passing legislation before fully knowing and understanding what it entails and how it will affect people,' House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rogers said in a statement after the D.C. decision was handed down.
'For months, people all across this country have seen firsthand the flawed and ineffective implementation of Obamacare – in their skyrocketing premiums, lost coverage, limited access, and regulatory inefficiencies.
'And today's decision is only further evidence of the legislation's failure,' the GOP leader said.' It's time to listen to the American people, enact real health care reforms, and start over. This law does not work.'
Andre Davis, a Senior Circuit Court Judge who wrote a concurring opinion on the Richmond court's decision, said he was not going to allow anti-Obamacare advocates to use the court to deny 'millions of Americans desperately-needed health insurance.'
Davis admitted that the federal law was 'tortured' and it's construction was 'nonsensical' but it's 'manifest purpose, as revealed by the wholeness and coherence of its text and structure, could not be more clear.'
In an attempt to explain the law in lay terms, Davis offered up an equally tortured pizza-based analogy.
'If I ask for pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch but clarify that I would be fine with a pizza from Domino's, and I then specify that I want ham and pepperoni on my pizza from Pizza Hut, my friend who returns from Domino's with a ham and pepperoni pizza has still complied with a literal construction of my lunch order,' he said.
Judges on the D.C. case were Thomas Griffith, an appointee of President George W. Bush; A. Raymond Randolph, an appointee of Bush's father; and Harry Edwards, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, who dissented.
A lower court had ruled that the law's text, structure, purpose, and legislative history make 'clear that Congress intended to make premium tax credits available on both state-run and federally-facilitated Exchanges.'
But the appeals court concluded the opposite - that the letter of the law 'unambiguously restricts' the law's subsidies to policies sold through exchanges established by the state.
'An Exchange established by the federal government cannot possibly be "an Exchange established by the State," ' Randolph wrote in a concurring opinion. 'To hold otherwise would be to engage in distortion, not interpretation.
'Only further legislation could accomplish the expansion the government seeks.'
In a statement celebrating the D.C. court's decision, Sam Kazman, general counsel for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, one of the organization's responsible for funding the lawsuit said, 'The court's decision puts an end to the power grab that the IRS rule represented.
'And more importantly it reaffirms the fact that we are a nation of laws enacted by Congress rather than rules issued by agenda-driven agencies,' Kazman added.
'Despite all the political calls for the country to 'get with the program and support Obamacare," it's the Framers of the Constitution who have the last word.'

Grab a coffee, tea or your favourite tipple – this is a long one…
Well, it wasn't a great weekend for sport. Sheffield Eagles lost, the debacle of the grand prix, not to mention the catastrophic meltdown of Liverpool FC. However, if you look at the bright side:
- There were great performances from young players on both sides – Sheffield and London.
- Vettel and Ferrari gained second place – Forza Ferrari!!
- Liverpool FC have 11 weeks to turn it around (next year is our year, LOL).
You see, every cloud has a silver lining! Attitude is everything! In sport, as in life, you can wallow in self-pity and misery or you can rebuild and refuse to let anything defeat or deflate you. I was reminded of this when twittertroll raised her ugly head again. Shame because I thought she'd grown out of her childish behaviour. This time though I did find it amusing that she had exposed herself to everyone and I hope now that they know this was all orchestrated by her. Sorry love but you have not broken our spirit or prevented us from pursuing our dreams. What it has done is reinforced my drive to continue to build my business, my books and my PhD but most importantly of all, to continue my parenting. I lead by example. Attitude is everything!
I have always taught the boys to be independent, strong, respectful, humble and most of all honest – honest with themselves and with everyone around them. I admit, it is not the 'norm' and I wasn't sure how it would be received by other people but I am so glad I have stuck to my guns and so far it has and is, paying off. With being honest with yourself, comes the acceptance that you will make mistakes. The boys have been taught that mistakes are OKAY. Human beings have the ability to make mistakes and learn from them – well, most do. Accepting mistakes, apologising and learning from them separates the decent ones from the … well… dishonest ones.
The proudest moments as a Mum have been when the boys have held their hands up, admitted their mistakes, apologised and moved on. Attitude is everything!
In order to teach this rare honesty, as a parent I have had to be honest too. I have always admitted mistakes to the boys and apologised for them. If I have been wrong in an argument, I have admitted to them I was wrong. I don't see this as a weakness at all. The boys know adults are not always right! It is about a mutual respect. Very few people understand the dynamics within my precious family and I have been questioned many times and told 'they are only kids' or 'they have too much say' and the best one of all 'when they get to a teenager, they will rebel.' Really? The truth is the boys are human beings. Just because they are children, does not make them inferior. They need guidance, discipline and to be taught how to conduct themselves. That is my job. It is not my job to treat them like second class citizens or bully them because I am bigger and older. Wes and I agreed this week we do not need to justify the dynamics within our family. We are all happy, all pursuing our dreams, all working incredibly hard and all being honest with each other and more importantly, ourselves. Attitude is everything!
Bright Blue Eyes
I am currently re-writing my website and re-launching my business. When I received my three book publishing deal, I put the business on hold. Admittedly with hindsight, I rushed into publishing my first book. As a single Mum, the financial pressure is always a tremendous weight on my shoulders. Sometimes decisions are made for the wrong reasons but with good intentions. We all live and learn.
Bright Blue Eyes offers business support services to organisations that do not have the staff to carry out administrative tasks. Services are offered on a one off basis or on an ongoing basis, dependent on the need of the client.
My website is under construction but can be viewed here.
Follow me too:
I'm taking a break from writing to try and build up the family coffers!! Basically, I'm skint and need to keep my little family afloat – I'm sure that is true for many of us these days. My ideal would be to earn money from writing and that is my long term goal but it doesn't pay the bills NOW. Until that happens, I will be writing in my spare time!
These are the part time projects I am working on:
Beyond the Lies
I have taken so much time over the editing of this sequel because my confidence was dented with the publishing of my first book but I am confident this will be a great book when it is finished. Attitude is everything!
Behind the Painted Smile
I really love this book. I don't like to start too many projects but this story gripped me from the first idea. I have written approximately 10,000 words and the ideas are flowing freely. This is about a woman who turns to social media for company as she gets little attention at home. Her obsession with it turns into sinister acts that results in murder!
This is in essence a story about how several peoples' tragic lives intertwine to result in something very special. This idea has been so strong that already I have 15,000 words written.
I really wish I could clone myself!! Who said single Mums sit in their pyjamas watching TV all day!! Every week I realise how hard I work – hopefully I will see the rewards soon!
I am finalising the revised proposal this week. Please keep your fingers crossed that I can secure funding. This would be my ultimate dream come true.

Finally, I want to say this to everyone. BE NICE. It doesn't cost anything to be nice and supportive. Being truthful is not the same as being mean or badly behaved. The old saying, 'it's not what you say, it's how you say it' is so true. If a child is told they are no good and won't make anything of themselves, it is likely to happen. It truly saddens me that some people, especially but not exclusively women, put other women down. I'm all for being supportive and growing together. I am not in competition with anyone.
It's half term this week so I can start work early with no interruption for school runs apart from Tuesday when Wes is going into school for revision – SCHOOL IN YOUR HOLIDAY TIME. That is dedication. ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.
Have a fabulous week and SUPPORT each other.

CCS attended Dressage at the Meadow in Doswell Va on May 3-4. Peony had her debute for the year at 3rd 1! She was very obedient and settled. Her flying changes are not confirmed but 80% of the time she is spot on! Jim Koffords stallion Dux tried his hand at 2nd 1 and 2. Amore than unmotivated test on the first day left for much improvemnet for the second day which he stepped up to the plate and performed like a good boy! Lyam, a KWPN owned by Sara Kern who boards at Cedar Creek had a hugely successful weekend at first 1 and 2! Big accomplishments for this pair and a score towards BLM'S!!
Theoden and Frej attended the Lucinda Green clinic held at Win Green farm on April 18 & 19. Lucinda, like most, was at first pretty unsure of these loud colored animals attending her clinic. Like most, once the spotty bodies go to work hearts instantly soften to their excellent tmperments! Both horses and riders were asked many new questions and gained confidence over fences. A great new experience to add to Cedar Creeks many adventures!
Xavoy Middlesom, Halifax Middlesom, CCS Tinuvel, and CCS Theoden survived the weekend at our first licensed show in Williamston North Carolina. Despite the downpours on Saturday, and High winds on Sunday, all spotty bodies had a good weekend and performed well! Xavoy and Melyni tried their hand at Intermed A but decided there is some extra curricula needed doing, so back to the drawing board, aka the indoor. Halifax and April took an attempt at fourth 2, the test was a bit of a stretch for Halifax but he tried his big heart out! Tinuvel was a very good girl strutting her stuff at Third 1 & 2, to come home and continue to work on relaxation! Theo was his little worker bee self, very obedient, and social! The crowd loves Theo as his personality and willingness is top of the line! He rocked at all three First level tests, and not surprisingly his First 3 test kept him most entertained, and willing as he likes challenges!
April 12th, ShenVADA schooling Dressage show, info and entry form on the ShenVADA website and FB page.

After a bobble in the dressage the mare jumped beautifully! April Shultz and Theoden completed their first Beg Novice CT with an obedient dressage test and a clean SJ round! Sophia Martina and Frej rocked at Novice placing the pair in 1st! A fun day at an excellent facility and a well run show!
Cedar Creek emerges! Another snow storm has come and passed. Our little community here has overcame another obstacle! Lots of Snow! The horse were eager for turnout today after over 24 hours of solitude Of their stalls. However, all horses were in great spirits and ready to return to normal routine. With the help of all able bodied staff members the stable is in great working order again!

Instagram has proven to be one of the fastest-growing social media platforms in recent years, particularly amongst people. Essentially a photo sharing app, Instagram is now a platform from which people can make money when they use it to their advantage. Changes to Instagram's algorithm, however, is making it more difficult to get the likes and comments that are key to marketing content, prompting bloggers to look elsewhere to share their content.

The problem with Instagram
For personal users, Instagram is a fun platform for sharing cool photos and moments from your day and maybe to discover new things. For those who use it as a marketing tool, however, such as bloggers, influencers and businesses – it can be both a blessing and a curse. Instagram has recently re-jigged its algorithm, replacing the chronological 'instant' feed that users were used to and instead are replacing it with a curated feed of what they think that users want to see. This means that users may not see posts for days after they've been posted, and miss out on some posts altogether. This is causing a lot of grief for those who rely on Instagram to promote their content, causing a drop in engagement and slow growth when it comes to new followers.
Thinking outside the Insta-box
If Instagram is no longer working out, it's time to consider other options for promoting your blog. The good news is that there are a lot of tools out there that can help you reach different users, without the panic over how many likes you've got.
Pinterest is a useful tool for sharing your content, especially if you've got some great photos to share. Tap into niche users by creating boards related to your content and post content that is relevant and engaging. This allows you to benefit from the visual-led elements of Instagram, with the bonus of being able to take users directly to your blog (Instagram doesn't allow clickable links outside of your bio).
What is Medium? Medium is still finding its feet in the online world, but more and more people are using it to promote their blogs. Focusing on creating longer-form content, you can use Medium to share some of your best work and encourage people to visit your page for more. It's a smarter kind of platform that will draw people to your content and keep them there – offering so much more than just a link-click.
Search engines
While you'll already be familiar with the benefits of a search engine, it can be easy to forget to put effort into your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) with all of the other platforms that exist online. Take advice from the best organic SEO company to make sure your page is up to scratch, and ensure it's worth a user's while when they find it. SEO is a great tool when used correctly, but only if your page offers something worthwhile when they get there.
Of course, one way to beat the Instagram algorithm is to engage more, but if you lack time to commit to liking and commenting on others' content – it's time to consider some other platforms. Go back to your social media marketing basics and devise a new strategy to promote your blog that doesn't solely rely on one platform to get hits.

I find it helpful to look at inspiration books that range farther afield than quilting. My latest non quilting book read is Graphic: 500 Designs That Matter, published by Phaidon. It's a small but thick book divided into the images themselves and a timeline of all the images with more information about each.
The earliest image is from 1377, though most designs are drawn from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The most recent image is dated 2011-12. You'll want to fasten your seat belt for this ride. The book sets a land speed record for ground covered. Just plunge in as there's no readily apparent organization scheme, other than the editors' perception of similarities between facing images.
About a quarter of the designs do nothing for me; about half intrigue me; and the rest give me ideas for quilt designs. I want to feature a few that I can see using in a quilt.
The curved diagonal lines and arrows combined with transparent overlays give movement and depth, and would make a great modern quilt.
I love the paper doll quality of the men's suits – just cut out an appropriately scaled fabric. Detail is used sparingly in the men's faces and hands. Definitely a design for raw edge applique.
This magazine cover could work well for narrow strip piecing (no curves) in subtly different shades. I like the NYC contained within the staggered BIG.
While a bit hard on the eyes, this logo for the Olympics in Mexico is a great quilting design inspiration. The break the X and I provide is a welcome relief.
I think the different ways these letters are drawn would work up well in bias tape of varying widths. You'd have to make up the rest of the alphabet, but that could be fun.
While not so immediately applicable to quilting, this design appeals to me for its Escher-like changeover from male to female legs.
I couldn't resist this ad that features RCA spelled out in Morse code. Shades of my "Connect the Dots" quilt, below.
I'm sure everyone who looks at this book will choose different favorites, but that's part of its appeal, along with the reasonable price of $25.

Braden Holtby: Braden Holtby needs only 15 saves in 5-2 win
Burakovsky tied it 1-1 with his first goal of this postseason with 30 seconds left in the first period, after Hagelin scored his first at 10:24 to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead . "But we know we have a good team. He's been a good complement to me and Nick". His poor puck possession, coupled with a poor Malkin pass and a bad bounce or two, led to the first two Capitals goals of the third period in Game 5.

Bulls' Rondo fined for attempting to trip Celtics' CrowderJoe Johnson scored 28 points, and Utah beat Los Angeles in Game 4 to even their West first-round series at two games apiece. Hoiberg was upset about the way that Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas is being officiated. "Hopefully going forward, he is a big part of what we do". He scored eight points in the third quarter, helping the Celtics regain control, and finished with nine assists in the game.
Contestazione Fiorentina: cori contro Sousa e Andrea Della Valle risponde…Secondo quanto riportato dalla Gazzetta dello Sport, davanti alla proposta di rinnovo da 2,7 milioni netti a stagione presentata dalla Fiorentina a Federico Bernardeschi, il suo procuratore ha risposto con una richiesta di ingaggio quasi raddoppiata, che abbia come punto di riferimento il prolungamento da poco firmato da Lorenzo Insigne con il Napoli.
Nene Out for Season After Groin Injury Diagnosed as Left Adductor TearThe Spurs fell to 0-37 when entering the fourth quarter of a postseason game trailing by 15 or more points. The Houston Rockets faced a key moment of their season in Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs. "I don't know. We made shots, don't make shots". Thanks to their performances - and Leonard's, of course - the Spurs have feasted on the Rockets' inconsistencies and inability to counter San Antonio's defensive execution.
Rockets beat Spurs 125-104, tie series 2-2The Spurs prospered in Game 3 without the services of veteran point guard Tony Parker , who is out for the rest of the postseason after rupturing a quadriceps tendon in Game 2 . "That's what we have to do if we want to win this series". The Rockets' 3-point shooting, a hallmark of their success in the regular season, got back on track Sunday when they made 19 of 43, led by six from Gordon.
PANENKA TIME! Messi vs. Villarreal on SaturdayWith Ronaldo resting for the Champions League semifinals, a Madrid side full of second-choice players had no trouble dealing Granada a fifth loss in a row under new coach Tony Adams. Madrid have scored 21 goals in those five games as the hungry younger stand-ins blow away lesser-profile opponents with a verve and intensity that their more established teammates reserve for the biggest occasions.
Tigers activate Miguel Cabrera from DLDetroit heads off to begin a series at Oakland on Friday night, while the Indians continue their road trip at Kansas City. It was the kind of extended outing that made Miller such a valuable part of the Cleveland bullpen when he led the Indians to the World Series past year.
LEADING OFF: Miggy's back, Texas tussle, aces upBauer (2-3) allowed seven runs, seven hits and five walks with three strikeouts in his four-plus innings. Carrasco had pitched eight innings in each of his previous two starts, but when he only went six Wednesday, manager Terry Francona turned Miller loose in relief.
Capitals hammer Penguins to force Game 7Rickard Rakell scored midway through the second period for Anaheim. Holding two-goal leads in the post-season has been a tenuous proposition at best, with 13 times teams letting them away so far in the post-season. After Game 1 against Pittsburgh , Kuznetsov told a handful of reporters that Malkin asked him a question on the ice, and since he considers himself a "kind of nice person", Kuznetsov tried to provide an answer in between plays.
United Kingdom local elections: Conservatives score big gains, huge win for PM MayJohn McDonnell said the party had to be more "effective" after it lost almost 400 council seats, won only two out of six of the new metro mayor posts and came third in Scotland, where it lost control of Glasgow council. But Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said voters "are now seeing that what this country needs is a government with a full, working majority to negotiate a good, successful exit from the European Union and to build a stronger, fairer Britain".
LeBron James: No disrespect by ball spin before shotHe missed Thursday's practice and Friday's shootaround before being listed as active for Game 3 . The Cavs really came out strong in the fourth quarter with a revamped bench lineup, featuring Tristan Thompson instead of Channing Frye . They just need to make sure, when they do open up, their 3 point shots start falling, which has been another problem for them. James hit 15-of-16 free throws.
Orioles starter Gausman ejected for hitting batterThirty-four fans were ejected, about twice the normal amount, although none for uttering racial slurs. Hennick, a white man who was attending the game with his son and father-in-law, who is black, told the Boston Globe that he was "aghast" at the remark.
