SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (13-8-6, 45 points, West #1) cruised past the Columbus Crew (8-12-5, 29 points, East #8) on Saturday night, scoring three second half goals en route to a dominant 4-0 win at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Captain Kyle Beckerman led the charge for RSL, opening the scoring in first half stoppage time and putting RSL up 4-0 in the 89th after second half goals from FW Devon Sandoval and MF Luis Gil. Saturday's result extended RSL's lead atop the MLS and Western Conference tables, with the Claret-and-Cobalt now four points ahead of the Montreal Impact in the Supporters' Shield race and five points ahead of the LA Galaxy in the West.
RSL completely controlled all facets of Saturday's match, outshooting Columbus 17-4, holding a 65.1-34.9 percent possession advantage and totaling 556 passes to the Crew's 296.
The Claret-and-Cobalt had things clicking early, nearly going ahead in the sixth minute. MF Ned Grabavoy played DF Chris Wingert through on the left flank, with Wingert cutting a low cross to FW Olmes Garcia at the back post. The 20-year-old striker hit a hard 10-yarder that looked ticketed for goal, but it was crucially deflected out for a corner by a Crew defender.
Despite controlling the run of play, RSL couldn't create another chance until the 35th minute, when Grabavoy nutmegged a Columbus defender on the left edge of the area before firing a low shot on goal that was blocked out for a corner.
Columbus had a good look on the counter in the 37th minute. MF Dominic Oduro carried the ball up the middle of RSL's third, eventually slipping FW Federico Higuain in on the right. The Argentine Designated Player took a touch toward goal before firing a shot on frame that RSL GK Nick Rimando saved nicely.
Beckerman put the Claret-and-Cobalt on top in first half stoppage time. RSL MF Javier Morales hit a 25-yard free kick from the right side off of the Columbus wall, with the ball making its way to Beckerman, who deflected it inside the near post from 10 yards out on the right side.
Sandoval doubled RSL's advantage in the 51st minute. Morales found an open Garcia on the right wing, allowing the Colombian striker – who had nearly scored on a separate chance seconds earlier – to curl in an inch-perfect low cross to the far post. Sandoval got on the end of it with ease, coolly slotting the six-yarder home inside the left post with his first touch.
Garcia and Sandoval nearly connected for another goal in the 56th. Again, Garcia curled in a cross from the right wing, with Sandoval getting on the end of it at the far post and heading his shot over the bar.
Beckerman had a big chance to put RSL up 3-0 in the 61st minute. Grabavoy played him through on the left side for a 1-v-1 with Lampson. Beckerman took a touch toward goal before attempting a cheeky chip shot that Lampson held.
The Crew had its best chance of the match in the 77th minute. A long throw from DF Josh Williams from the left sideline bounced in the box, and substitute MF Ryan Finley got on the end of it at the back post, putting his contested header wide of the mark from inside the six yard box.
Gil iced the game in the 83rd minute with a fantastic goal. Substitute MF Sebastian Velasquez started the play, dancing through the middle of the Crew's defense before finding Grabavoy on the left edge of the area. Grabavoy bandied past a couple of Crew defenders before unlocking the Columbus defense with a gorgeous through ball to Gil. The U.S. Under-20 international did the rest, collecting the ball in the left side of the area before cutting into the middle on his right foot to fire home inside the left post from the penalty spot.
Beckerman completed his brace in the 89th minute. Velasquez got free on the left wing, swinging in a low cross from the corner. Columbus DF Chad Marshall deflected the ball directly into the path of Beckerman, who ran onto it and buried his shot from 10 yards out.
Things got a little ugly in stoppage time, when Higuain was shown his second yellow card following an altercation with a RSL player and – subsequently – multiple officials.
Real Salt Lake will return to action on Friday, when it will host the Portland Timbers in a nationally televised match at 8:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Tickets to Friday's game can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.

Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 4-0 CLB
- RSL's four goal output on Saturday night gives the team 48 goals this MLS season – the highest single-season total in club history. RSL's previous regular season goals record was 46, set in 2012. MF Luis Gil broke the club single-season record for goals in a year with his 83rd minute strike. The team has seven regular season matches remaining to extend its new club record.
- RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman's two-goal performance on Saturday was his first multi-goal game since bagging two goals against D.C. United on April 12, 2008. His brace was the 45th multi-goal game by a Real Salt Lake player in the 325 games across all competitions in club history. It was the 28th multi-goal effort by a RSL player at home. The Claret-and-Cobalt is now 37-4-4 all-time when a player scores multiple goals in a match.
- Saturday's shutout was RSL's ninth of the MLS regular season. It was the eighth clean-sheet for GK Nick Rimando, who now has 107 career MLS regular season shutouts, just five shy of tying New York GK Kevin Hartman for the all-time MLS record. 71 of Rimando's 107 career clean sheets have come in a RSL uniform.
- In addition to moving closer to Hartman's shutout record, Rimando also moved into third-place in MLS history in minutes played on Saturday night. The "Wall of the Wasatch" has now played 30,753 minutes in 340 career regular season matches, all of which have been starts. He trails only Hartman (37,260) and retired MF Steve Ralston (33,142) on the all-time minutes played chart. Rimando is now tied for fifth with retired FW Jaime Moreno in career regular season appearances with 340; his 340 regular season starts is one behind Vancouver GK Joe Cannon for third in league history.
- RSL's four-goal margin of victory gives the Claret-and-Cobalt a +15 goal difference on the MLS regular season, the best goal difference in the league. RSL also leads MLS in goals for, road goals and road goal differential. Although the team is in first-place in the league, it is second in points per game to the Montreal Impact, trailing the Canadian club by 0.04 points per game (1.67-1.71).

Jane Christmas is a Canadian humour, memoir, and travel writer who has written three other books, also with interesting titles like this one. In 'Nuns' she focuses on her adventures into the cloistered life. Christmas writes books about personal transformation (in this case also spiritual) and self-discovery. It's sort of like 'Eat Pray Love' with more substance. This is the first book of hers that I have read, but I would say she is like a cross between Elizabeth Gilbert and Bill Bryson. This thoughtful journey includes a lot of interesting stuff about convents, monasteries, and nuns and takes her to Yorkshire (Whitby & York) and the Isle of Wight. She also shares honestly about an unresolved trauma whose memory surfaced in the imposed silence she endured, and needed to be dealt with.
After her second divorce and just as she is engaged to be married once again, Jane decides to fulfill a lifelong yearning to enter a convent and road-test being a nun. Her fiancé actually becomes the 'saint' in the story, as he lets her go for a year and a half to sort herself out and get this out of her system, knowing full well she may never return. In a peripatetic fashion she visits four different religious communities on two continents, submitting herself to the rules and responsibilities in each. Her account is a respectful irreverent look at the life of modern day nuns and the monastic life.
These are her other books:
The Pelee Project: One Woman's Escape from Urban Madness is about what happens when an exhausted single working mother leaves her life of 24-hour grocery stores, 12-hour work days, three-hour commutes, and retreats to a tiny Canadian island.
What the Psychic Told the Pilgrim: A Mid-Life Misadventure on Spain's Camino de Santiago de Compostela is about her 50th birthday celebration walking the gruelling pilgrimage in Spain. Somehow she finds herself leading fourteen squabbling middle-aged women, until she inadvertently loses them and sets out on her own. That is when her real adventure begins, as she battles loneliness, hunger, and exhaustion.
Incontinent on the Continent: My Mother, Her Walker and Our Grand Tour of Italy is about a trip to Europe with her arthritic, incontinent, and domineering mother. Historically a fraught relationship, the trip was meant to smooth over five decades of constant clashing.

Looks mighty suspicious here. I speak as a disabled person!
IOTM also to ask who's more "disabled": a person with special needs who maybe drives his family and neighbors and teachers and acquaintances crazy … or a world that would rather do without us?
"Suffering"? I know a little about that subject, though definitely not as much as many of us disabled. But killing us in the wombs of our mothers denies us even the chance that we'll struggle and overcome it, or others will cure it or at least lessen our suffering. Who ever said life was supposed to be free of suffering?
I also speak as an Eastern Orthodox Christian. In original Christianity suffering has an honored place: it can make us more like our Founder, who suffered a bit Himself. I don't mean 'Suffer like Jesus suffered' — that's just masochism. But Orthodoxy teaches that suffering* may help cure us of our own will and inadequate understanding … and Orthodoxy itself directs us to the Will and Understanding of One Whose Will and Understanding are infinitely perfect. In fact, many ancient Christians envied the original Holy Martyrs, and found the real and difficult Struggle was ordained for those who lived in the Faith to a ripe old age. Furthermore, Orthodoxy says that even though we Orthodox with long-term illness/disability might not or ought not, for instance, participate in the Church's fasting rules and Traditions (i.e., abstaining from certain foods at certain times), God Himself has as it were fitted us with this special ascesis to purify us of sinfulness,** He has allowed this to happen to us. Some admired, sick Orthodox have taken this teaching so to heart that they have ceased desiring to be cured — again, understanding that it may be easier than the "normal" Orthodox ascetic spiritual path, and blessed by God. If I may paraphrase St. Raphael of Brooklyn, 'Man — or demons — may have meant this to me for bad, but God means it for the good.' Orthodoxy also still teaches that miracles do happen, by the Graciousness of God.
(I don't say this as someone who has reached such wisdom or dispassion himself yet. But it does seem most reasonable.)
I also have some expertise in Western Christian ethics or moral theology.
As for calling aborting someone saving his or her life, that reminds me of "destroying the village to save it," or "killing the Indian to save the man" — real Orwellian, and I don't say this lightly to a rabbi who survived the Holocaust, even as an infant. More than 40 million Americans have been electively aborted under color of law, few without the dubious benefit of genetic testing of them or their parents. Now it's being sold to us as a large-scale, historic, positive good?
(*–This is 'redemptive suffering.' In Peace Studies they talk about some "myth of redemptive violence," which however I never heard of till then. Violence does not redeem! [And real "martyrs" don't die killing others intentionally, even vengefully!])
(**–Orthodoxy also remembers and teaches that all creatures suffer sinfulness from the first moments of their lives, thanks to the choice of our first parents — what one Western wag once called "Christianity's only self-evident doctrine.")

COVID-19 Update June 5th 2020.
The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre would like to thank all its customers for their support and encouragement over the last few months. They have been and remain challenging times.
We are aware that many of our friends purchased advance tickets for a number of our 2020 events and we felt we should be communicating openly on how we are currently managing this situation, thus this posting.
Until more information is made available from Government about when and on what basis the Centre may be able to re-open the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is currently unable to confirm exactly what booked and advertised events in 2020 will be taking place. We have now taken the decision to suspend all new ticket sales for 2020 pending receipt of that information.
Subject to the receipt of Government advice and guidance we are currently intending to upgrade your purchase as follows:
If you have purchased a ticket for any of our events in 2020 the Centre will honour that purchase at the same, or a similar event in 2021. We realise that this may seem a long way off so, as a thank you, we will upgrade your purchase to include a complimentary entry on a standard Steaming Wednesday or Sunday in 2021. We will be processing vouchers for these upgrades in early 2021 so that we can manage them collectively. NB: We are unable to upgrade to Day out with Thomas events or Christmas Events.
With no regular cash flow, and complete uncertainty about when it may be able to safely open for paying customers, the Centre is currently reliant upon grants, donations from members and friends, plus a small residue of the 2019 income to cover its day to day running costs. NB: Donations can be made via the Centre's website and would be a great support at this time.
Our focus will always be on delivering a safe environment for our visitors, staff and volunteers and we thank you for working with us in these unprecedented times. NB: In normal circumstances, the Centre has a no-refund policy and looks to offer alternative dates in relation to all cancellations regardless of the reason and this remains in operation at this time.
This policy will be reviewed as more details are made available to the Centre so please keep an eye on the website and our Facebook Page for those updates.
The Trustees - Quainton Railway Society Limited, T/A The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.

Hey! After taking a sneak peak at the module descriptor for a Rendering module I'll be taking this coming semester, I realised It will consist of learning a new language (bore -_-).
As the title says, that language will be C++ and I was just wondering if people who have already undertaken C++ in the past, to use their experience and point me in the direction of good, consistent C++ tutorials, as well as a good C++ forum of this forums standards.
Many thanks

I present to you Aaron Goldstein of the American Daily. I have never met Mr. Goldstein, but I am worried about him. Yes…Mr. Goldstein is the first person in the history of mankind to pick the D-Rays to win the world series. The first thing that anyone should notice is the date on the article is April 1. When i first began to read the article, i was waiting for the punchline…BUT…after reading the article, I am not convinced it is a joke. He actually is trying to make an argument, most of which are reasons we all believe the D-Rays are on the right path. If this were an April Fools prank I would expect the reasoning to be more silly, such as "Scott Kazmir put on 20 pounds in the off-season and now weighs 120 pounds and hits 135 on the radar gun." Still, I think it is in the best interest of Mr. Goldstein that we give him the benefit of the doubt.

In Everything Is Possible, Jen Bricker shared how she was given up for adoption and how the doctor told her birth father that she would die. She was born without legs. Gerald and Sharon Bricker adopted her into their family of three boys. Sharon had to have a hysterectomy and desperately wanted to have a girl so she prayed and God answered. They eventually adopted her. Throughout the book, she shared her personality and how she loved to try new things and she was always looking for an adventure. Jen can roller skate, walk on her hands, do gymnastics, and much more. She also appeared on Maury years ago and she talked about how she played sports and tumbling and how she lived as a Christ follower. She also won a state championship as an aerialist and was also involved in the Britney Spear's Cirrus Tour and she performed powerful acts. She shared how God can make everything possible and its okay to dream big. It's critical to remove and avoid the words, "I can't". We have to remember that God is more than able to assist us through whatever we face.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is in need of some inspiration. I love how Jen Bricker shared how God taught her that anything is possible if anyone believes in Christ. I appreciated how she revealed her details about her past relationships and how she is still believing that God has the person planned out just for her. I loved the reminder about how important it is to be vulnerable and not to hearten our hearts and stop the flow of love from enter our lives. I'm also believing that God will lead me to the woman he has just for me. Taking a risk is a very daunting task, but it's worth it knowing that we at least tried! I also liked how she included "My Vip's" sections throughout the book and this featured stories from others about how Jen Bricker lives her life. I also loved how she revealed the story behind meeting her two biological sisters. This is truly an amazing God connection! If you're looking for an inspirational book to read, check out this one!

The newly found tyrannosaur weighed about 2.5 tonnes and was 8 metres long (Source: Andrey Atuchin)
The meat-eating Lythronax argestes, which means "king of gore," had wide-set eyes that helped it track prey and a load of teeth packed into a more slender snout than T. rex, researchers write in the journal PLOS ONE.
The Lythronax was among the lighter, more compactly built tyrannosaurids, and may have been about half as heavy as the largest T. rex.
The beast weighed about 2.5 tonnes and was 8 metres long, says the research team led by Mark Loewen, adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah.
Its bones - including parts of the skull, hips, leg and tail - were found in the Wahweap Formation within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in south-central Utah.
"The width of the back of the skull of Lythronax allowed it to see with an overlapping field of view - giving it the binocular vision - very useful for a predator and a condition we associate with T. rex," says Loewen.
It was also older - T. rex roamed the Earth about 10 to 12 million years later, researchers say.
Tyrannosaurids ran upright on two legs and had short arms, and attacked other dinosaurs as well as scavenging the carcasses of dead animals for food.
Researchers say they likely originated in northern Laramidia, then a swampy and humid island which is now western North America.
Several species likely moved south over time, while others made their way toward Asia 70 to 75 million years ago.

Zebulon Montgomery Pike Jr. (January 5, 1778 – April 27, 1813) was an American soldier and explorer for whom Pikes Peak in Colorado is named. His Pike expedition, often compared to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, mapped much of the southern portion of the Louisiana Purchase.
Pike was born in Lamberton, New Jersey, now a part of Trenton. His father, also named Zebulon Pike, was an officer in the Continental Army under General George Washington and served in the United States Army after the end of the Revolutionary War. The younger Pike grew to adulthood in a series of Midwestern outposts — the frontier of the United States at the time — in Ohio and Illinois. He joined his father's regiment as a cadet in 1794, earned a commission as ensign in 1799 and a first lieutenancy later that year.
Pike married Clarissa Harlow Brown in 1801 and continued an unremarkable military career in logistics and payroll at a series of frontier posts. His career was taken up by General James Wilkinson, who had been appointed Governor of the Upper Louisiana Territory. In 1805, Wilkinson ordered Pike to find the source of the Mississippi River.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The two great revolutions of the 18th century, the American Revolution (1775-1783) and the French Revolution (1789-1815), both had their roots in the Enlightenment and both attempted to put enlightened ideas about individual liberty and constitutional government into practice. That one attempt was successful and that the other one failed, leading instead to the Terror and Napoleon's empire and militarism, has engaged thinkers ever since. Below is a list of the works on the French Revolution held in the Online Library of Liberty.

No, not me. Not iDave, Blair or Obama.
Personally, I don't care if Colin Murray is a tit or not, whether he's a bad presenter or not because I've no television.
What I do care about is this:
Forgive me if you think that lets Murray off lightly, but I choose my words carefully. The last time I wrote about Murray, in Oct 2010, during the early weeks of his Match of the Day 2 tenure, I was quickly contacted by the law firm Schillings.
If you're a celebrity, and you want to sue a newspaper, Schillings are who you go to. But what became clear over the five rambling, increasingly jaw-dropping pages of their letter was that Murray was less interested in securing punitive damages for defamation than he was in mending his broken heart.
Given conservative estimates of four hours' legal consultation and drafting of the letter, and a rate of around £500 an hour, Murray essentially paid £2,000 for a therapy session.
One can only hope he does not spend his free weekends DJing. Bizarrely, point five of the Schillings letter addressed Murray's DJ sets, which I described as "pedestrian".
"Our client takes great exception to this," thundered the lawyers. "Our client is very proud of his DJ sets and goes to great lengths to ensure that his sets are lively, imaginative and distinct from other performances."
So how did my legal battle with Colin Murray end? The case never went to court. Instead, we sent him a detailed letter rebutting every single one of his points in some detail.
Now let me get this right. The person who wrote the lukewarm review on Colin Murray was a reviewer, right? He does reviews for a living or did I get that wrong? He writes his opinion in what is known as an Opinion Piece. So what do lawyers have to do with any of this?
Or are there to be no reviews for fear of litigation? And did Lieuw have any basis for his opinions?
Instead, we sent him a detailed letter rebutting every single one of his points in some detail.
It would seem so.
I've had some terrible things said about me over the last few years of blogging, the most bizarre being that I smack young ladies' bottoms – that was accompanied by a pic of an old codger with a damsel across his knee. LOL. Our resident ad hominator here, Greg, regularly gives me a pasting. And what? Do we toss our toys out of the pram, do we take our bat and ball and go home?
There is a line, of course. That bit about the spanking could not have been taken as anything but a joke. Greg's expostulations are just Greg. They're not assertions of actual wrongdoing.
However, that has been done by others and that is actionable. Sometimes I simply ask the tosser to either put up or shut up, to show the evidence or write a retraction. Most of the time I just ignore it – life's too short.
It seems to me that as long as it is not a patently false statement and it conforms to someone's blogrules, than the rest is fairly open slather. Schillings, of course, beg to disagree.
As would my candidate for toss pot of the year – Colin Murray.
No, no – wrong!! I forgot all about Lynne Featherstone:
I cannot tell you how much I dislike this stupid, two-faced and dangerous politician. People say there are no good causes left worth fighting for. Not true in my humble opinion. Removing Lynne Featherstone from office is as noble a cause as you could hope to find.
I must declare an interest. Featherstone intervened during the recent hullabaloo about the "transphobic" polemic by Julie Burchill my newspaper the Observer ran a few weeks ago. Featherstone demanded that we should fire Burchill and fire the editor as well.
I have worked through the worst days of Bernard Ingham and Alastair Campbell's manipulation of the media, but I have never before heard a minister in a democracy call for writers and editors to be fired for publishing an opinion, however offensive and controversial it may be.
That the minister in question calls herself a "liberal" means that Featherstone is not just a menace but a hypocrite too.
Yep, she'd have to be right up there.

While the bulk of shiggy's headphone and earphone reviews have moved to ohm-image, expect a few good reviews to come to TMA. Shiggy's most recent review is of Earsonic's SM64. Earsonics are a favourite here at TMA and the SM64 seems to be the hit of the SM line. Why? Shiggy has this to say:
The SM64 delivers not only crisp mids and highs, it serves up boiling, authoritative punches that roll through most of audible spectrum. Lower mids are fast up and down. They never tangle with bass. Kudos to kick drums, bass guitar, electronic kicks, and pretty much anything with a beat from there on down. Thruma thwaaaarck! goes lower bass. Thwacka thwacka! go upper mids. Speed is king.
Timeliness – while stereotypically not very French an asset – has a pigeonhole with an SM64-shaped aperture.
Timely and taut though it is, the SM64 stops far before it ever reaches the shrill, metallic highs that has ER4 lovers all agog. Some may take issue here. Metal-tipped responses can be hugely fun. But Earsonics are a musician-oriented company; and in Earsonics 2,0, equitability takes precedence over wow.
Fans of crispy crisp crisp will probably look elsewhere for their bacon. Similarly, fans of warm fuzzies may also have to turn elsewhere. With few outliers, the SM64 sounds rather flat – and certainly crisp – at the ear.
Crispness FTW!

I'm heading out in a little bit to do some shopping. My kids, you see, are going to public school in a few weeks and what's interesting about that is the fact that my kids have NEVER been to a public school before. While I could easily be concerned about the adjustment for them from private school to public school, I'm trying to keep that at bay. So, I'm using this time to focus on something a bit more fun....BACK TO SCHOOL CLOTHES SHOPPING!
I shop at a small variety of stores for my kids- especially my girls. I've found that finding clothes that are cute, stylish and not, well, trashy, can be difficult for little girls. And then when you throw in affordable...forget about it!
Since my son was born of the stores that I've frequented the most was The Chidlren's Place. Their variety, their ease of shopping, their prices and their sales have made for one very happy mommy and a usually pretty stylish, and comfortable, kid. When my girls came along I naturally turned to the Children's Place and was not disappointed- especially in their baby items and dressy clothes. I was beginning to feel, though, as my oldest daughter moved out of toddler sizes and into big girl sizes that we were going to need to put her in garbage bags in order to keep her covered up. And that was not always a function of The Children's Place, but it was EVERYWHERE I went to get her clothes!
Well, it appears the tides are changing and the trash is going out with the undertow because The Children's Place and their newer design team has been hard at work and putting out clothes that are, well, AWESOME. (And secretly things I'd like to wear on a regular basis- especially the sequin boots!!) Last night I went into NYC for an event with The Children's Place and MomTrends to preview the new Holiday line from the Children's Place. LET ME TELL YOU OH MY WORD! If I could have taken all of the clothes and put them in my purse for my kids to put on I would have because, you guys, I can't wait for this line to hit the stores!
I'm already imaging what pictures I'm going to take and where my twin girls are going to wear the hot pink and pale pink rosette dresses with faux fur boots! And I cannot wait to show my 5 year old daughter the different sequined sparkle boots and skirts and winter hats! The girl can rock sequins like you wouldn't believe! Oh, and my son...let's not forget about the child who adores wearing a tie and a button down shirt to any and every event and outing! The vests and the hats and PLAID! OH MY GOODNESS!
The holidays are a crazy crazy time for us and we spend the weeks in between Thanksgiving and Valentine's day with family and friends all over the place and coming up with things for my kids to wear is sometimes, well, a pain in the ass. With the clothes that I saw last night not only will my kids be some of the best dressed little divas out there but I'm going to have tons of fun dressing them!
*I was not monetarily compensated for this post. I received a delicious night out in NYC, a Children's Place coupon and a goodie bag but my opinions are ALL MY OWN!*

15 June 2015: Today was kind of blah
15.06.15 / Ramblings / Author: pixieluv
This morning I got out of the house by 5:30AM and made it to the gym by 6:00… I could not find either of my notebooks I use to track workouts and I wanted to keep my gym time at 30 mins. This is to ensure I get to work by 7:00 so I can leave work before traffic gets back, nevermind the fact I forgot Mondays we have a late team meeting….
I tried to remember some things from my leg day last Monday and managed to do 3×10 each of barbell squat, leg press, calf extension on leg press, toes in/out/normal leg extension.
To say that I overdid it last Monday would be an understatement… I hurt all the way through Saturday and so bad it hurt to walk through Thursday. I ended up not working out and attending a practice after Tuesday last week. I did go to practice Saturday and Sunday, but did not go to the gym. The Saturday and Sunday practices were pretty awesome. I got to work on new things and received pretty good feedback. Saturday my feedback focused around one of our drills called spuxing where I need to remember to stay low and be more jukey with side to side stepping instead of gliding. Sundays feedback was awesome and just made me smile a lot 😀 A skater I look up to told me that I was actually doing the drill correctly and being effective <3 She also said she barely recognized be because I looked thinner 😀 😀 😀 😀 Things like that really help me refind that focus and drive I had before I got super depressed and just stopped.
I am super exhausted from waking up so early today I am hoping to get a nap and make practice tonight. I am cautious about skating this exhausted but I really want and need the practice.

Since I haven't received a satisfactory answer to my initial question I'm going to ask a somewhat weaker one...
This time we say $X$ is a Vitali set in the closed interval $[0, 1]$ with respect to $\mathbb{Q}$ if $X$ is a selector of the partition of $[0, 1]$ canonically associated with the equivalence relation $x \in \mathbb{R}$ & $y \in \mathbb{R}$ & $x - y \in \mathbb{Q}$.
Recall a set $A$ has the property of Baire iff it can be represented in the form $F \triangle Q = (A \cup B) - (A \cap B)$, where $F$ is closed and $Q$ is of the first category (i.e. can be represented as a countable union of nowhere dense sets).
Let $r \in [0, 1]$, does there exist a Vitali set in the closed interval $[0, 1]$ with respect to $\mathbb{Q}$, $V$, such that $V \cup (V \oplus r)$ has the property of Baire where $V \oplus r$ = {$x + r : x \in V$ & $x + r \leq 1$} $\cup$
{$x + r - 1 : x \in V$ & $x + r > 1$}
The motivation for this is that no Vitali set has the property of Baire so an answer in the affirmative would answer my previous question (modified for the closed interval $[0, 1]$ and $\Gamma = \mathbb{Q}$) in the negative. However my guess is that there is no such Vitali set, but in which case I am interested in the proof which might begin by splitting the $V$ into a set of the first category and a null set and might say something about the spacing of elements of $V$.
One further question that would be of great help is if anyone knows any other properties of Vitali sets other than being non-measurable in the Lebesgue sense and not having the property of Baire.

Pinecrest Azalea Gardens
Cape Girardeau County, Mo.
Jason Jenkins
Bees aren't the only travelers attracted to Pinecrest Azalea Gardens each spring. Thousands of visitors journey to the 52-acre tract — located just northwest of Jackson in Cape Girardeau County — to view Gene and Linda Penzel's assortment of blooming daffodils, jonquils, azaleas and rhododendrons.
Gene's parents, Carl and Mettie Penzel, began the garden in 1963, planting 6,000 pine trees to increase the soil's acidity for azaleas and rhododendrons, which Carl enjoyed tending. Over the years, the garden has grown, and today it features driving and walking paths, two ponds and a picnic area.
The gardens are a local favorite as a backdrop for engagement, wedding and high school prom pictures.
Typically, daffodils and jonquils bloom in late March and early April, followed by azaleas in mid to late April and rhododendrons in early May. Though weather can play a factor, the last weekend in April, which this year is April 24-26, is typically the prime viewing weekend.
In 2007, the Penzels, members of Black River Electric Cooperative, received the Missouri Division of Tourism's Spotlight Award, recognizing the couple's contributions to "spotlighting" Missouri as a tourism destination.
Admission to the garden is free. It is open during daylight hours from March through May. Be sure to bring your camera. No plants are for sale, and the Penzels ask visitors to refrain from picking flowers.
To reach the gardens from Jackson, take Highway 72 west to Route B; turn right. Continue on Route B to County Road 472; turn left. Go one-half mile to Torre Lane; turn left to enter the gardens. For more information, call Gene and Linda at 573-979-1112, or go to www.pinecrestazaleagardens.com for updates on what's currently blooming.

Bill Hudgins, noted truck writer and wit, offers this blog entry on biofuels.
Friday, December 28, 2007
In August 2004, I penned a column humorously suggesting that biodiesel should be made with various kinds of aromas, since the sense of smell is a powerful one that can affect mood and attitude.
Now there is news that makes me hope they won't take my automotive aromatherapy idea too far. In Canada, scientists have proposed turning used diapers into synthetic fuel.
On the face of it, so to speak, the diaper proposal makes sense, and appears to work much as do other suggestions for sources of biodiesel. You take the organic material – no pun intended here; I mean stuff made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen – heat it up without any air until it starts to break down into those elements, and then refine it. They crack crude petroleum like that, so why not crude Pampers?
And there is no lack of raw material. I've seen estimates that Americans alone go through around 18 billion disposable diapers a year. And as we boomers get older, that number is likely to climb. Heck, just collecting the used diapers from all the Wal-Mart parking lots would probably yield a million barrels of fuel a year.
Folks, we're talking a "Dependsable" source of energy, and a second use of petroleum and wood products. (I wonder if the Vaseline on those diapers would create an octane boost?) While one can think of other castoffs that could also be turned into motor vehicle fuel, apparently there can be problems with, uh, contaminants, if you can believe that.
"If we try to take municipal waste and run it through a system like this, it would be too variable and you'd get all sorts of nasty surprises you'd have to deal with," one of the researchers said. So liquefying plastic bags and other such materials is probably not going to happen right away.
But with hospitals all around Montreal, there is a continuous supply of dirty nappies. The idea might catch on among young parents concerned about greenness (environmentally, that is). A collection system has been proposed (somehow the image of the peasant collecting bodies in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" comes to mind: "Bring out yer dirties!" "Eh, I'm not full yet!"). As one of the researchers was quoted as saying: "One of the beauties of the diaper is that it is going to be a very consistent input."
No kidding.
Meanwhile, a bloke in New Zealand is preparing to try to take an experimental craft around the world using alternative fuels, including some biofuel made from his own body fat, collected by liposuction.
Pete Bethune and two pals collectively rendered up enough lovehandles and beer belly to make about 7 liters of biofuel. In many nations whose citizens are developing ever larger waistlines, this rather drastic commitment to the environment might be underwritten as a public health measure. And if the trend toward superhuge portions continues, it could certainly be a renewable resource, as well.
For that matter, instead of converting us all to Soylent Green, maybe we should all be converted into biofuel.
This makes me wonder if other bodily wastes could be converted, too. What about the placenta after childbirth? Some cultures eat them. Why not make fuel for Mom's SUV? Stem cells from embryos? Use them for fuel to heat the White House. But, Bill, if we are converted to biofuel, promise me that I'll be burned in a Hybrid.

The Alhambra in Grenada, the crowning glory of Moorish Spain, has more than 10,000 prayers and poems in Arabic inscribed on its pillars and walls. We hear about an effort to decipher and catalog the inscriptions. It's not the first time this has been tried. But previous attempts foundered, when researchers became distracted by their findings. This time, Spain's Higher Council for Scientific Research is taking a more rigorous approach. Even so, it must be hard not set aside your tools and get meditative after you've discovered an inscription like "Be sparing with words and you will go in peace."
The rest of the pod is devoted to the second part of the BBC's documentary on Yiddish. Reporter Dennis Marks picks up the story in the 1960s, when Yiddish was staring extinction in the face, after many decades in which it language thrived among Jewish Eastern European immigrants, as in this World War Two-era poster). But more recently in New York City, the language has began to undergo a modest revival. A big contributor to that was Aaron Lansky who founded the National Yiddish Book Center, which rescused thousands of Yiddish volumes from depositories and dumpsters: as he puts it to take books "out of the dustbin of history and put them back into use."
We also hear from YY Jacobson, a rabbi in the Crown Heights section of New York and editor of the Hasidic Yiddish newspaper Algemeiner. His contribution to the survival of Yiddish is the most overtly religious. Others have cultural or ancestral reasons for investigating the language: people like klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals, novelist Dara Horn, and a family who speak with each other in both English and Yiddish. The teens in the family text message each other in transliterated Yiddish, complete with texting shorthand: ZG is zei gezunt (be well) and BSH is biz shpeter (until next time/goodbye).

For the record, it's only partially playtested.
- HP - I decided to buff non-magical healing, because it tends to either be completely ignored by players (if they optimize their characters), or overshadowed by magic healing (if a players tries to develop his mundane healing skills). On the other hand, magical healing needed a nerf, or else players can just use a CLW wand to top up their health between battles. Thus:
- Magical healing will mostly function as first-aid. It does not cure your wounds. It lets you continue fighting despite your wounds. It'll stop bleeding, immobilize broken bones, and act as a painkiller. In order to actually heal yourself between battles, you'll need a lot of rest and medical care. Magic can help with long-time care, but it does not replace it.
- Mechanically, it works like this: keep track of three numbers - your max HP, your wounds, and your temporary (first-aid) HP.
Your max HP rarely changes during adventures, usually only when something changes your constitution, or when you get negative levels, as usual.
When something damages you, add the damage to the wounds counter.
If your wounds exceed your (max HP + temporary HP) you are uncounscious or dead, just like normally when your HP drops below zero.
Healing magic does not remove wounds. Instead, it grants you temporary HP. It cannot, however, grant you more than either your current wounds, nor your max HP.
Example: you have 30 max HP, 15 wounds, 5 temporary HP.
Magical healing can give you at most 10 extra temporary hit points, bringing your total to 15 temporary hit points, since that's how many wounds you have. Your temporary HP cannot exceed 15 until you get a few more wounds.
Example 2: you have 30 max HP, 40 wounds, 20 temporary HP.
You are still conscious and fully capable of fighting, since (30+20)>40, however healing magic can grant you at most 10 more temporary HP, bringing the total to 30 temporary HP. This is because your temporary HP cannot exceed your max HP.
Therefore, healing magic can roughly double your HP pool (although not before the first battle), but after taking so many wounds you can't rely on first aid any longer. When your max HP is 30 and you have 60 or so wounds, basically all your bones are broken, your entire skin is a huge bruise, covered in scars and cuts that aren't bleeding only because magic is barely holding your flesh together. If not for magic, you'd be twice dead. So... go to that hospital bed, and take a few weeks of rest, would you?
Rest and non-magical healing on the other hoof reduce your number of wounds. For now, my formula is:
base - 1 wound per week of normal activity
x2 if resting
+1 for each 5 by which a healer exceeds DC5 on a heal check. So DC10 = +1, DC15 = +2, DC20 = +3 and so on. If multiple healers, either take the best result, or they can aid another.
+1 for each spell level if someone tries to use magic to speed up the healing. Thus a level 1-2 cleric/druid can speed up healing by 1 wound per week (by spending 1 CLW spell each day), while a level 9-10 cleric/druid can speed up healing by 5 wounds a week by spending a level 5 spell slot each day.
So, your typical level 10 party should be able to heal let's say:
1 base + 5 mundane (heal skill +20, take 10, DC 30) + 5 magical = 11, multiply by 2 = 22 wounds per week of resting.
Or 11 wounds if they keep adventuring, fighting etc.
- Armor - I use the alternate rules for damage reduction. Nothing fancy.
- Magic - First of all, I'm not a bit fan of the quadratic wizard. I'd say if a fighter puts as much effort into training, he should get roughly the same amount of power as a wizard would from putting that much effort into learning magic. I mostly blame the fact that wizards are both powerful AND versatile at the same time. I'd say they should choose either or. I also love the idea of specialized spellcasters. A pyromancer who uses only fire magic, or a necromancer who uses only necromancy, or an illusionist who only uses illusions. Sure, specialized wizards will face tough situations (pyromancer vs fire immune enemies?) but with a bit of creativity these can be overcome (pyromancer casts fire immunity on his allies, then proceeds to summon fire elementals and gives them magic weapons, so that his army of fire elementals beats down on the fire immune enemies).
Also, I'm not a big fan of spell slots. While choosing spells for the day is an interesting puzzle, it does slow down the game, and does not fit with my own vision of magic.
- Therefore I use spell points, similar to the suggested variant rules. Except each spell costs equal to it's level, so a 9th level spell costs 9 spell points. How many points a spellcaster gets is adjusted accordingly.
- As for the specialization - every time a spellcaster levels up, they have to make a decision. Pursue a specific school of magic (necromancy, illusions, evocation, divination, etc.), a specific element/domain (fire, earth, light, darkness, nature, mind, etc.), or they can choose generalism.
If they choose specialization, they progress normally, as per the books, except when determining which spells they qualify for. They only gain progress towards spells that meet their specialization. BUT I assume that wherever it makes sense, they can cast spells using their own specialization as opposed to the one suggested by the spell. So a geomancer can take the fireball, and cast it as an acid ball instead. A pyromancer can cast stone skin, except it will be fire skin instead. Generally, feel free to be creative with the domain or school of magic that you can control.
Those who choose generalism on the other hand gain progress in all schools and domains, but at half the pace. If you are a pure generalist, you get access to 2nd level spells at caster level 5, and to 5th level spells at caster level 17. Do note, that generalists get spell points at normal progression, so they will be able to cast A LOT of those low level spells, before running dry. (And if we use spell slot rules, they would get higher level spell slots, to use metamagic with)
It is possible (and maybe reasonable) to take a few levels as a specialist and a few as a generalist. So a 5th level generalist 5th level pyromancer (a 10th level wizard) can cast all level 1 and 2 spells, and also 3rd and 4th level fire spells.
Technically, it would also be possible to pursue two or more specializations, but it will always be suboptimal compared to just taking generalism levels instead.
- The same applies to divine casters, and basically all full spellcasting classes. I'm not sure yet whether it should apply to paladins, rangers, bards etc. I don't feel like they need a nerf, so probably it shouldn't.
- I am considering redoing magic even more. I like the way magic is done in Roleplaying is Magic 3rd edition, so I was thinking of placing that system in the Pathfinder context, and seeing how it will work. But, it'll need some more work before being production ready
- Also, all these changes to magic will necessitate changes to magic items as well. Especially the RiM magic system - since it seriously messes up Pathfinder spells.
- Languages - I always thought the language rules in D&D and Pathfinder were bogus. Sure, I understand that it's nice if all player characters can talk to each other, and if they can talk to most NPCs, so I see why the Common language was invented. BUT it's too widespread in my opinion. And completely eliminates most of the interesting problems. Thus, I nerfed Common a bit, while still retaining it's presence.
- Common is like Esperanto - not a native language for anyone, but merchants, priests, scholars and other educated people will generally know it in order to communicate with foreigners. Common folk may know a few basic words too. This is a simple language, with maybe a few hundred words and gestures. Enough to say "I buy sword, pay gold" or "You attack big guy". But not a good language for diplomacy, bluff and other social skills. Any attempts at social skills made in Common take a -10 penalty.
Also, there is no written version of Common. You can write in common using Elven alphabet, or Dwarven runes, etc. but then you need to know how to read those languages in order to read the text.
- All other languages have 3 levels of proficiency:
- basic - you sound like a non-native speaker, and people will easily notice you are a foreigner. -5 on social skills
- average - you sound like a native, +0 on social skills
- expert - you sound like an eloquent speaker, knowing poetry, rhetorics etc. - +5 on social skills in that language
- If a language has a written form, an alphabet or somesuch, it is considered a separate thing, you need to learn separately. It also has three levels of proficiency. Basic, average and expert. If you try to use social skills through writing, or try to do anything else that involves writing, take the same penalties or bonuses based on your skill with that language.
- Everyone is assumed to start with average proficiency in their native language. If they are educated (wizards, priests, bards, etc.) they also get average proficiency in writing in their native language.
- Bonus languages granted by a class (druidic, draconic etc.) are given at basic level, but both spoken and written.
- As for learning new languages, or improving ones you already know, it's one point of linguistics to get a basic level of either writing or speaking a new language, or one point of linguistics to improve one of those you already know to the next level. So learning languages IS harder than in base game. You can't just spend 6 skill ranks at level up to master 6 new languages. You can though spend 6 ranks to learn the basics of speaking in 6 languages Do note that this applies to each point of linguistics bonus you gain, not just ranks. So if you increase your intelligence, or wear an item that grants a bonus to linguistics, it will also grant you bonus points to improve your languages. For balance reasons, these points should be fixed per magic item, so you can't just take it off, wear it again, and choose different ones.
Diplomats (and liars, and intimidators) should heavily consider investing in linguistics, and in spells and magic items that grant them a linguistics bonus.
- Common is like Esperanto - not a native language for anyone, but merchants, priests, scholars and other educated people will generally know it in order to communicate with foreigners. Common folk may know a few basic words too. This is a simple language, with maybe a few hundred words and gestures. Enough to say "I buy sword, pay gold" or "You attack big guy". But not a good language for diplomacy, bluff and other social skills. Any attempts at social skills made in Common take a -10 penalty.
Ok, so how does that relate to Ponyfinder?
Well, magic for one. I'll have to look over all the ponyfinder spells and see how they fit with my changes.
Languages too. I'll have to see how things work on that front. This should also depend on settings, since rather than racial languages, I'm more inclined towards regional languages. Or both. If there are many languages involved in a campaign, players may have to look for translator NPCs. Or we might have to add a universal translator magic item (which should probably add some penalties too, if it's used, so that it's still useful to learn the languages involved. Or maybe change things to 2 points per linguistics point. I'll have to playtest it more heavily. Maybe just giving all players a +5 to linguistics points at character creation, or a +1/level could also be necessary.
I don't think that health, armor, or spell point rules will interact with Ponyfinder in any specific ways, though.
So... any thoughts? I'm posting it here for two reasons.
1. DIscussion.
2. Reference, so if I find any players, I can point them here.
Also, as I playtest it more, I'll keep anyone interested updated on my findings.

The $90,000 BMW 750i xDrive stolen from the German automaker during the Detroit Auto Show was found today mostly intact — except for the cut wires where the thieves had disabled BMW's tracking system.
The car, brought into town to ferry BMW execs from one champagne-fueled party to the next, was stolen by carjackers outside the Westin Book Cadillac hotel in downtown Detroit. The car was being loaded onto a car carrier when, according to witnesses, the driver of the truck and others were distracted, allowing the thief to make off with the high-priced BMW.
The car was found located near an apartment complex on Telegraph Road in western Detroit. Police say they will examine the vehicle for evidence that could lead them to the carjackers, such as hearty peals of laughter at their chances of being caught. [WXYZ]

Wordless Wednesday - Santa brought ...
... a new house and kid-sized firetruck (that doubles as a book). The kids set to work decorating the house and began a full interior remodel by adding several homey touches including a fireplace, recessed lights, and a rocket launcher. The exterior still requires some TLC.

The house is Discovery Kids Color Me Cardboard Playhouse (available from JCPenney). The Fire Truck Convertible (ISBN 9781842368534) book is by Miles Kelly Publishing and is rather hard to find. I believe Santa ordered it from the Children's Book of the Month Club, but they no longer carry it.
