A simple table saw technique levels four legs in no time flat.
By Gary Rogowski
Pages 52-54
Rock-n-roll. That's what four-legged pieces have a habit of doing – even with perfect joinery and a careful and unhurried assembly. Even with all the care and attention you paid to building it correctly, it doesn't sit flat on your floor but moves back and forth rocking on two legs. What gives?
Don't worry; it's just life at the bench and Euclidean geometry raising its head again. If you build everything with three legs, you won't have this problem. But because a lot of tables and chairs have four legs, you are constantly faced with this issue. Just a little pull from one of the joints and your chair or table doesn't sit flat. The legs are still the same length but they're pulled out of true or flat by your assembly.
The Problem
Let's say you need to remove a bit of length from one or two legs. As little as a 1⁄32″ or 1⁄16″ can be a lot to take off with a handplane, but too little to remove with a saw – even if you could line up your saw perfectly. So, how do you true the legs without either making your chair too short or making yourself frustrated in the process?
Let's understand the problem first. A four-legged chair doesn't sit flat for one of two reasons. It either sits on an uneven floor or the chair itself is twisted. How do you determine where the problem lies? As I tell my students and all my clients, my bench is the Center of the Universe. If it sits flat on my bench, then it's flat. If it moves to the floor and rocks, it's the floor. Of course you could move the piece around until it finds a spot where it's not tipping then never move it, but that's not a reasonable solution. So for all intents and purposes, my bench is my reference surface and sets the standard to which I work. If the piece sits flat on my bench, then it's good to go out the door.
Four-legged pieces can twist for any number of reasons: too much clamping pressure on one side versus the other, mortises cut slightly off center from each other or tenons made at slightly different locations. Little things during construction can add up to small variations that result in a rock so bad in the piece that you think your wood is possessed. (Heck – the boards may actually be possessed and moved or warped as you cut them.) Clearly, this can affect your joinery. Any of these things can add up to a piece that seems to have two longer legs. Even if your legs are equal in length, your task is to trim the bottoms of the seemingly longer ones.

Violence in video games is without a doubt the biggest issue that our industry - and this genre in particular - faces at the moment. With horrifying tragedies of wanton gun violence cropping up in the headlines on a weekly basis, everyone needs a scapegoat. The finger of blame has to point somewhere, so why not at video games?
Of course not. I agree with the guy in the video, it's appropriate.
I think violence in games needs to be justified. If it's violent just for the shock value, it has no place in this industry.
If the story is gritty and the violence is purposeful, I'm definitely interested. Spec Ops: The Line is the perfect example, there is some tough content in that game - stuff that makes you cringe to see and doesn't leave you when you stop playing.
But it served a grander purpose and, for that, it doesn't bother me.
I think it had the perfect amount of violence! Wouldn't of wanted it any other way!
I wouldn't say I was bothered by the violence in the game, especially since I didn't spend much of the game executing melee finishers. The violence at the beginning is clearly a meaningful part of the introduction.

Fixed bugs I saw in headlights code. Fixed object parameter missing error. Added no-set capability to headlights. Changed attribution in motors. Fixed CMakeLists.txt due to error I put in there on my last commit (extra comma). Should compile now. I'm sorry if it doesn't.
Created ROS skeleton for Headlights node. Currently has functionality for getting headlights set via a message and setting some variables to the message contents, but doesn't write to hardware. Also does not include code in libscout to support headlights yet....

Here are some observations and notes after re-watching the Eagles' 16-14 loss to the Steelers on Sunday:
LeSean McCoy's strong effort against the Steelers was another example of why statistics, especially in football, can be overrated. If you were just looking at the running back's numbers on Sunday – 16 carries for 53 yards and four catches for 27 yards and touchdown – it could be surmised that McCoy had just a so-so day. In actuality, he turned in his most gutsy performance of the season.
McCoy's most impressive moments came in the fourth quarter during the Eagles' 17-play, 79-yard drive that briefly gave them a 14-13 lead. He ran off right tackle on the first play for five yards. Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg had been running McCoy more to the right this season, but on Sunday he had seven carries to the right for 17 yards (2.3 avg.), eight to the left for 32 yards (4 .0 avg.) and one up the middle for five yards.
On the Eagles' first fourth-and-one conversion, McCoy and center Dallas Reynolds were the heroes. Linebacker Lawrence Timmons met McCoy at the line when there was initially no room for the running back to run right. If Timmons didn't leave his feet, he probably makes the tackle. But McCoy slipped him and bounced back to his right. Waiting there was Keenan Lewis. The cornerback unwisely went high and McCoy powered two yards behind Reynolds, who held his block for a long time.
Five plays later, McCoy took another handoff on a fourth-and-one play designed to go right, but this time he didn't have to dance. He plowed straight ahead behind guard Danny Watkins. McCoy's longest tote of the day was 10 yards. But he consistently churned out the tough yards and ran for six first downs.
McCoy displayed his open-field moves, as well. As the "hot" receiver after the Steelers blitzed in the third quarter, he took a short pass from Michal Vick, pivoted left and scurried past linebacker Larry Foote for a 15-yard touchdown. Foote is 32 and may be excused, but later, McCoy juked 27-year-old safety Ryan Mundy out his jock on a six-yard run.
There were many plays the Eagles could look back upon and say, 'What if?' But the Steelers' third-and-12 conversion on their game-winning drive was perhaps the most frustrating because it wasn't properly executed. The Eagles were in a "Tampa 2" zone defense with both safeties deep. They pass rushed only four. Defensive end Jason Babin got around right tackle Marcus Gilbert, but he was little deep. Babin slapped an arm across the Ben Roethlisberger's thigh as Gilbert pushed him to the ground, but the quarterback merely stepped up in the pocket to avoid the pressure.
The Eagles did not have significant push up the middle. Cullen Jenkins rushed from the left defensive tackle spot. Fletcher Cox ran a loop from the other tackle position as defensive end Trent Cole rushed inside. Steelers running back Isaac Redman helped his lineman with a chip block on Cox. Jenkins and Cole were contained.
Meanwhile, down the field 20 yards wide receiver Antonio Brown slipped in between cornerback Brandon Boykin and linebacker Mychal Kendricks. It wasn't clear after the game which player had ultimate responsibility for Brown, but it was Boykin, who was supposed to stay with receiver.
1. Nnamdi Asomugha did not have a strong game. He was targeted seven times, per Pro Football Focus, and surrendered six catches for 58 yards. The one incompletion was the Roethlisberger throw to Brown in the end zone that he should have caught before the half. Asomugha's struggles did not mean Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was perfect at the other cornerback spot, nor should one expect as much at an under-the-spotlight position. But he was very good for most of the game and contributed to Mike Wallace catching two of eight targeted passes for 17 yards. Roethlisberger threw at Rodgers-Cromartie six times, but the intended target only caught three passes for 28 yards. If there was one quibble with Rodgers-Cromartie's play it was when he backed off of Brown on a third and seven late in the first half. He was more than ten yards off when the receiver caught an 11-yard pass on a slant route.
2. The Eagles offensive line, for the most part, acquitted itself against a tough defense in difficult playing conditions. But each lineman had breakdowns, perhaps none more so than Danny Watkins. The right guard continues to have issues in pass protection. The most egregious example occurred in the third quarter when Vick dropped to throw from the Steelers 49. He had no time to throw because Watkins flat-out missed his block on Steve McLendon. The nose tackle sacked Vick and forced another fumble. Watkins, nearby and not doing much, was able to recover the fumble.
3. Even though he played the least amount of snaps among the defensive tackles, Cedric Thornton was the most active of the group. He recorded three tackles – one solo and two assists – and drew two of Steelers guard Willie Colon's four holding penalties (one was offset by an Eagles penalty). On both holds, Colon had to tackle Thornton to the ground because he had beaten him so badly. After coming out like gangbusters in his first four games as a pro, Fletcher Cox had a quiet fifth game.
In the first four games of the season, the Eagles run defense was especially nasty in the second half. Opposing running backs gained only 115 yards on 44 carries (2.6-yard average) after totaling 176 yards on 42 tries (4.2 avg.) in the first half. But the Steelers run game wore the Eagles down on Sunday. In the first half, Pittsburgh running backs rushed for 26 yards on eight carries (3.3 avg.). After the break, they ran for 96 yards on 20 totes (4.8 avg.).
-- Even though Brent Celek caught only three passes for nine yards – and a pretty important touchdown – it wasn't because he was asked to stay in and block more than usual. Reid said that the Steelers played particular attention to limiting the tight end's effectiveness over the middle.
-- The officials should have called pass interference on the second quarter bomb Vick threw to DeSean Jackson. The receiver was double covered, but cornerback Ike Taylor draped his arm around Jackson just before the ball hit his one hand.
-- To be fair, the Eagles got away with a few no-calls. Safety Nate Allen made contact with receiver Emmanuel Sanders before he was credited with a pass breakup in the second quarter. Linebacker DeMeco Ryans decked a pressured Roethlisberger after he threw a ball out of bounds. The quarterback was out of the pocket which may have been why the referees swallowed their whistles.
-- Tackle Demetress Bell had what could accurately be described as an up-and-down game. He kept Steelers linebacker James Harrison in check for much of the game. But Bell missed several blocks and did very little to help tight end Clay Harbor on the screen pass that advanced the Eagles to the 2-yard line in the fourth quarter when he was the lead blocker.
-- Jason Babin was credited with tipping a Roethlisberger pass near the goal line before the half when it was really Kendricks that got his hand on the ball.
-- Safety Ryan Clark will likely be fined for leading with his helmet when he hit Celek in the third quarter. He made no attempt to wrap Celek up and was clearly using his helmet as a weapon.
-- Kendricks sprained his ankle when Brown took a screen pass 14 yards. After tight end Heath Miller blocked Asomugha to the ground, Kendricks got tangled up with Miller's foot.
There's a chorus of fans that don't want to hear it, and in some ways it's understandable considering Vick's 11 turnovers in five games. But there's no way Reid should go to backup Nick Foles at this point.
Besides the unknown, Vick's improvement over the last two weeks against the blitz is more than enough reason to keep the rookie in the garage for now. Vick completed 11 of 16 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns when the Steelers sent more than four pass rushers, according to PFF. Vick was also sacked twice.
His two touchdown passes against the blitz were perfectly executed -- hitting McCoy as the hot receiver and then standing in the pocket, under intense pressure, and delivering a two-yard strike to Celek.
If only Vick can figure out that fumble thing.

Eight prospective tenants close to signing leases at Bedford's Market and MainBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
November 15. 2017 10:02PM
BEDFORD — About eight potential tenants are preparing to sign leases for the Market and Main development at the old Macy's site — including REI, Athleta, Pressed Cafe, CycleBar, European Wax and MidiCi.
"They are very close to getting done," Mike Nelson, senior vice-president and director of leasing with Encore Enterprises, said Wednesday of the leases. "There really is going to be a dynamic lineup."
Nelson said a local hotel group is working to identify its brand before officially moving forward with a lease; discussions are ongoing with a cinema. Other tenants that have already formalized leases include Trader Joe's, Red Heat Tavern and The Friendly Toast.
"They are in a hurry to get open," Nelson said of Trader Joe's and The Friendly Toast, which will be housed in the front portion of the new South River Road development near the existing Carrabba's Italian Grill restaurant.
Next week, representatives from Encore Enterprises will approach the Bedford Planning Board. Nelson said the developer is recommending that the project be split into three phases, which would allow Encore Enterprises to possibly turn over space to Trader Joe's and The Friendly Toast by October 2018.
He anticipates some of the new tenants will formally sign leases by December.
Athleta is a popular women's athletic clothing store; REI is a large retail outdoor clothing and sporting goods store. Pressed Cafe features salads, smoothies and juice, while MidiCi is a Neapolitan pizza restaurant.
CycleBar is an indoor cycling franchise and European Wax is a hair removal salon.
Last September, the town planning board granted conditional approval for the large mixed-use development at 125 South River Road. Encore Retail LLC has slowly revealed more details about potential tenants for the 355,708-square-foot complex, which is also expected to include medical offices and a parking garage. Developers said previously that the Market and Main project could create more than $1 million a year in tax revenue.
Boston Interiors and Orangetheory Fitness were also interested in the Market and Main space, but ultimately leased in nearby locations. Nelson said they needed to open sooner than was possible at Market and Main.

Pleasantly sweet and tart, Passion fruit, also known as granadilla , is brimming with many plant-derived nourishing essentials offering optimum health. Passions are native to subtropical wild regions of South America, probably originated in Paraguay. It is an avid climber (vine) which grows on anything that it can grapple around through its tendrils.
Botanically, this exotic fruit belongs to the family of Passifloraceae, of the genus; Passiflora . Scientific name: Passiflora edulis .
The passiflora plant requires well-drained fertile soil and good moisture to flourish. Once established, it grows quickly and reaches about 15-20 feet per year. The plant has an average lifespan of about 5-7 years.
Over five hundred cultivar types of passions exist; however, only two main types, purple and yellow varieties, are widely grown. Banana passionfruit (P. tripartita var. mollissima), known locally as curuba de castilla, features small banana-like shape with rounded ends. During each season, the vine bears greenish-white fragrant flowers which subsequently develop into fruits.
Passion fruit features round to oval shape, 4 to 8 centimeters in diameter, have a tough outer shell (rind) as that of in

. Average weight is about 35-50 g.
Inside, the fruit consists of membranous sacs containing light orange color, thick juice with numerous small, hard, dark-brown or black, pitted seeds. Yellow passions are larger than the purple varieties, but the pulp of the purple fruit is less acid, richer in aroma and flavor, and has a higher proportion of juicy pulp.
Delicious, passion fruit is a rich source of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. 100 g fruit contains about 97 calories.
The fruit is an excellent source of dietary fiber. 100 g fruit pulp contains 10.4 g or 27% of fiber. A good fiber in the diet helps remove cholesterol from the body. Being a good bulk laxative, it also helps protect the colon mucosa by decreasing exposure time to toxic substances in the colon and wiping off the cancer-causing toxic substances from the colon.
Passion fruit is good in , providing about 30 mg per 100 g. Vitamin-C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant. Consumption of fruits rich in vitamin-C helps the human body develop resistance against flu-like infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals.
The fruit carris very good levels of (provides about 1274 IU per 100 g), and flavonoid antioxidants such as ß-carotene and cryptoxanthin-ß. Current research studies suggest that these compounds have antioxidant properties, and along with vitamin-A are essential for good eyesight.
Vitamin-A also required for maintaining healthy mucosa and skin. Consumption of natural fruits rich in vitamin-A and flavonoids may help to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.

Study shows nontoxic ammunition widely available throughout California
Availability of alternatives indicates that state can begin implementing law requiring use of nonlead ammunition without hindering hunting activities
A new study from one of the world's leading experts in use of nontoxic ammunition shows that nonlead ammunition is widely available throughout California. The study surveyed retail stores in California and online sources, concluding there is widespread market and retail availability of all popular shotgun and rifle ammunition types for the take of wildlife in California.
Last year, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 711, requiring the state's Fish and Game Commission to implement regulations requiring the use of nontoxic, nonlead ammunition for all hunting in California by 2019. In his signing message approving the bill, Gov. Jerry Brown urged the Commission to phase in this implementation in the "least disruptive" manner possible. The study addresses Gov. Brown's request and addresses any concerns regarding the uncertainty about the market and retail availability of nonlead ammunition in California.
"With nonlead ammunition already this widely available before the law is even implemented, we can only expect this availability to increase even more once the law is active," said Dr. Vernon Thomas, who presented his study to the Commission's Wildlife Resources Committee on Monday. "The findings should give the Department and Commission confidence that they can implement AB 711 as soon as possible without disrupting hunting activity in California."
Thomas' report was commissioned by the sponsors of AB 711 (Audubon California, Defenders of Wildlife and The Humane Society of the United States).
According to Thomas, five major U.S. companies already produce nonlead rifle ammunition in more than 48 different calibers that are readily available online and in major sporting/hunting goods stores in California. These calibers include those suitable for hunting all designated species in California.
Of the 111 retail stores in California surveyed for this study, 76 percent carried at least some nonlead ammunition for the purposes of hunting. Availability of nonlead calibers in these stores ranged across the most common hunting ammunition types. In cases where nonlead ammunition cannot be found in a retail store, online retailers are often able to provide the desired ammunition.
Thomas noted that many retailers are actually waiting for the state to implement AB 711 before they begin stocking nonlead ammunition, or expand their current offerings.
"For the minority of stores that had low or no inventory of nonlead ammunition, they reported that lack of customer demand was the primary reason, suggesting that the sooner customers must comply with AB711, the sooner availability on store shelves will increase," said Thomas.
The California state legislature approved AB 711 in response to mounting research showing that lead from ammunition poses a danger to wildlife and human health. More than 130 wildlife species have been found to be at risk of poisoning by spent lead ammunition left behind by hunters in the field, and people consuming meat hunted with lead ammunition have been shown to have higher levels of lead in their bloodstream.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service prohibited the use of lead shot for waterfowl hunting in 1991, and California passed a law requiring the use of nonlead ammunition within the range of the California condor in 2007.

Beyonce '4' Album Preview - EXCLUSIVE
Beyonce held a preview listening party for her upcoming album, 4, at the NYC offices of Sony Music on Wednesday afternoon (May 11).
About a dozen of her super fans watched the "Run The World (Girls)" video in a conference room before the 29-year-old global superstar came in and surprised everyone, shaking hands and hugging every single person in the room. (One of her fansites BeyonceWorld even flew in from Australia!)
"When editing the DVD [for Beyonce: I Am... World Tour], I noticed that the tone of my voice is different live [than my recording one]," Beyonce told JustJared.com as she addressed the room. "So I used that live performance tone throughout the record."
B then sat down, grabbed a bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water, and played five new tracks for the room.
"I wanted to do something refreshing and different," Beyonce told JustJared.com. "So I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together."

Here are some sample lyrics: "I wanna love you so (hit me)/ I will be the one to kiss you at night… Come on take my hand/ I won't let you go/ I'll be your friend/ I will love you so… Turn your rain into sun… Say you'll never let me go."
SONG #2 – BEST THING I NEVER HAD ———- This mid-tempo song has lots of drums much like "Run The World." "Babyface wrote the song," Beyonce told JustJared.com. The track is about karma and revenge and kicks off with, "What goes around comes back around." Some key phrases from the song include, "Best thing I've ever had" and "Best thing you've never had." The best line in the song goes, "You showed your ass, baby I saw the real you." The song closes with, "Sucks to be you right now."
SONG #3 – I CARE ———- This ballad is moody and dark. It's a song that will really sit with you, rather than be an instant smash hit. One fan asked Beyonce if she was crying at the beginning of the song because it sounded like she was. "Almost," she responded. "I was on the verge."
Jeff Bhasker penned this song, Beyonce confirmed. "It's one of my favorite songs [off of the album]," she said.
Some sample lyrics: "I told you how you hurt me/ I'm crying and deserted but you don't care/ Nobody told me this is love/ You're immune to all my pain/ This is love but that's okay… But I care/ I know you don't care too much/ But I still care."
SONG #4 – COUNTDOWN ———- This track starts off the lyrics "killing me softly" and samples Boyz II Men's "Uhh Ahh." Beyonce uses the countdown and sings between each decremental number, "10, 9, 8…"
"Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny's Child on tour," Beyonce told JustJared.com as she addressed the room. "They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! (laughs) I'm old."
Some sample lyrics: "Dedicated to the one I love… diamonds in that chain… Riding that pony.. showing him how you ride… If you leave me, you're out of your mind. London, speed it up. Houston, rock it."
What did Jay-Z think of this song? "He liked it," Beyonce told JustJared.com. "I don't think he was dissecting it, just thinking of what he could do to it as a rapper."
SONG #5 – 1 + 1 ———- Beyonce had the lights turned down for this beautiful ballad. Here's how the song starts: "If I ain't got nothing, I got you/ If I ain't got something, I don't give a damn/Because I got…"
"I don't know much about algebra but one plus one is two," she croons. "He ain't got nothing but love. Darling, you got enough for the both of us. Make love when my days look low, pull me in close."
"RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS)" VIDEO ———- It's everything we hoped it would be – amazing! (Watch the 60-second "Run The World" teaser.)
The video starts and ends with Beyonce riding her horse, except there's fire involved in the closing scene. A lion walks into one of the dance numbers and Beyonce has two giant hyenas on leashes in another scene.
The room went crazy during two parts of the song. The first was when Beyonce sings "eff you" and gives the middle finger (albeit pixelated with a censor). The second was when Beyonce is on her knees, bent backwards, and writhing around in the sand. It's reminiscent of the sand dance sequence in her "Baby Boy" video
The dance sequences were choreographed by her longtime friend Frank Gatson with help from Sheryl Murakami and Mozambican kwaito dance group Tofo Tofo. Beyonce had scoured the Internet and discovered Tofo Tofo on YouTube. The funny thing is they had no idea who Beyonce was when she reached out to them! (Tofo Tofo gets down with Beyonce in a few of the dance numbers.)
Beyonce had walked into the room after her fans watched the "Run the World" video, so after the album preview, she had the video played again. "I've never watched it with a group of people before, so I'm excited," she said. So the fans got to see the video not once, but twice!
After the album preview and video screening, Beyonce thanked everyone in the room for coming and said she had to go rehearse for her next "thing." She has so many "things" coming up, we're all so excited!

It is sad for me to see that the Wii port is unofficially dead. I think it is a shame since the Wii console feels like home for ScummVM. The ability to use the Wiimote from your coach to point and click on your TV is unmatched by any other console so far.
There are of course the nightly builds available compiled automatically by the build bot, however, it is not the same as having the latest official build knowing exactly which games it supports and what new features were introduced in that version.
I know by first hand that Wii Scene is almost dead already; there has not been new application releases for months and it already started to slow down since a couple years ago. Nevertheless, there are older consoles and platforms that still receive continuous support for their ScummVM ports.
I really hope Dhewg could delegate the building of official releases for Wii to someone else if he is not able anymore to maintain this port due to his current time constraints because the Wii is now one of my platforms of choice for playing ScummVM.
Thank you!
I agree with you.
I'm using nightly builds to get last updated version so I hope I don't miss anything.
ScummVM games run smmotly on Wii and Wiimote controls are perfect.

Speaking of smooth, the video rendering/scrolling on the Dreamcast port is smoother than the Wii for some reason.
What I mean is, when the character is moving or the cursor is moving it slightly skips a frame or two on the Wii.

The Wii port is not dead... The buildbot toolchain has been updated and the builds produced work fine.
However, you are correct that we have not had a release build for v1.6.0 from the porter.
The exact platforms which are released do vary for ScummVM from release to release, as was indicated in this article:
"The list of supported platforms changes from one release to the next, since many ports are maintained by just one or two people, and they may be busy with other (non-ScummVM) priorities, or they may struggle with platform-specific issues. The PalmOS port, which is no longer maintained, was long a headache for the engine developers as well for as the porters. Among several issues, PalmOS has a limit of 64KB for code segments, which means that some code files have to be split."
I have mooted the idea of Porter teams on the scummvm-devel mailing list, but we find it hard enough to find even one motivated and capable developer per port... especially with the more obscure platforms, which also by their non-standard and/or constrained hardware cause more problems... and thus releases are sometimes omitted for technical reasons.
I think this was the case for Wii for some time as the toolchain had a number of issues. I have been working through trying to correct these.
Oh and the same goes for the Dreamcast... which I have also been working on recovering and updating. It is a very constrained hardware platform though and the toolchain is tricky to get setup.
We have recently closed a number of outstanding issues though, and it has shown up some useful non-portable code which we have corrected.
I'm not complaining or anything, just saying it feels smoother on the DC. I thank everyone for all of the hard work they put in developing and porting ScummVM to other platforms as it's one of my favorite programs. I use it on my DS Lite more than any other homebrew program on the system.

CARSON, Calif. – For the first time in 2011, the LA Galaxy trailed at home heading into the second half of a match. But like often times this season, the Galaxy simply found a way to win.
Down a goal to Real Salt Lake at the break, the Galaxy scored two remarkably strange tallies to turn it around in the second half and escape with a gritty 2-1 victory, taking a giant step towards wrapping up their second consecutive Supporters' Shield.
WATCH: Full Match Highlights
"We've won in all kinds of ways this year and it's really important," Galaxy captain Landon Donovan said. "Come the last [CONCACAF Champions League] game against Motagua or the playoffs, if you go down a goal, you need to know how to win games. It would have been wholly unjust if we didn't get something out of that game. Credit to our guys for persevering and getting a great result."
The victory comes during a part of their calendar that could have decimated other clubs. Saturday's match was the club's eighth game since Sept. 5, a stretch that included both regular season and CCL matches.
Two of those games were played in hostile and challenging environments as the Galaxy fell at Morelia and Alajuelense. Still, LA overcame those losses and beat Morelia at The Home Depot Center on Wednesday to stay very much alive in CCL play.
Despite having to reach deep down their bench to fill out lineups, the Galaxy have gone a more-than-respectable 5-1-2 in that span. And if they notch their sixth win since Sept. 5 in all competitions – and fifth straight in MLS – on Tuesday in New York, they will secure the Supporters' Shield.
Saturday against RSL, things did not quite get out to a great start for the Galaxy. The club did well to dictate the pace of the match in the first half but allowed RSL to surge and create dangerous situations.
"Our biggest mistake on the night was giving them some attacking restarts," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "That's where their chances came in the first half and we needed to be a little bit better with that because they're a big team physically. We didn't want to get into too many situations, but unfortunately, we did at the end of the half."
On one of those chances, Javier Morales found Fabián Espíndola inside the box on a corner kick in the 45th minute to put RSL ahead, and the Galaxy then had to enter the break in the rare situation of being down a goal at home.
Players did not hang their heads, however.
"We've been 1-0 down in the first half," said David Beckham. "We came in here and it was disappointing, but we knew we were playing well, we knew that we were passing the ball around well, and we knew that we'd get chances. It was just about putting them away. … Our character showed."
As such, the Galaxy came back and answered. Beckham knocked a ball forward to Chad Barrett, who got around Jámison Olave and somehow poked a ball across the goal line.
Beckham said he was excited about the assist but was uncertain of what had happened.
"I don't know how it went in – I have no idea," Beckham admitted. "I just know it was another assist for me."
WATCH: Postgame with Barrett
Barrett, too, said he just tried to create something and took advantage of a possible RSL breakdown.
"I think it was just miscommunication between [Olave] and ['keeper Nick] Rimando and I saw the opportunity to put my toe on it," he said. "[Rimando's] hands were down and I just lifted it over."
The game-winning goal was equally as strange, as Nat Borchers knocked a ball into his own net in the 72nd minute after a series of passes and crosses by the Galaxy deep in RSL's third.
"They're not going to be on any highlight films this week, but two goals that went over the line, they all count," Arena said.
Also carrying weight is the victory. Should the Galaxy secure the Supporters' Shield, it would help set up a stretch where the club could rest, recover and prepare for the playoffs.
After Tuesday's marquee contest against the Red Bulls in the Big Apple, the Galaxy next play on Oct. 16 against Chivas USA before closing out the season against Houston on Oct. 23, with a trip to Honduras for a CCL match against Motagua sandwiched in-between.
The Galaxy currently lead chasers Seattle Sounders in the Shield race by seven points with three games to play for each. Should LA beat New York, or if both LA and Seattle tie in their next league matches, the trophy will stay with the current holders.
"It would have been nice to [claim the Shield on Saturday]," Donovan said. "If we win in New York, we're there. … We're close, but we're not there yet."

That is adorable! She is such a cutie!!!ReplyDelete
I loathe clothes shopping for myself, but for my daughter? I love it!
Love the teddy bear gilet. So cute!
I'm with you, I'm a cold weather girl. I'm already moving my fake furs around my wardrobe, ready for the end of summer!
Yea I'm right there with you. I don't particular love shopping for myself either so I'm sort of shocked to find shopping for her so fun.Delete
That is absolutely gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Lili Gaufrette is my favorite. Pricy but worth the stylish, appropriate and French vibe. I have bought many a bargin lili from ebay.ReplyDelete
Oh I hadn't heard of this brand but just spent far too much time googling it. So adorable. Thanks for sharing!Delete
Mrs. Limestone, have you heard of "My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter"? The author has a collection of high end toddler fashion photos paired with her witty commentary/captions on Pinterest. Worth checking out for "inspiration" or laughs.ReplyDelete
No I had never heard of it but that is hilarious! I want to be best friends with whoever writes those captions!Delete
So sweet! Is there an H & M in the city? My daughter works in Brooklyn and lives in Manhattan - I'll send her there for my little niece. We don't have such things as H & M in central Pennsylvania ;)ReplyDelete
Yes, they just opened up a H&M in downtown Brooklyn (which is wear I got this vest). It's not huge but it's better than nothing. Obviously there are more options in Manhattan where there are several stores.Delete
This picture is so stinking cute! I know you hear it all of the time, but your daughter is such a beauty. I am a serious shopper for my little and I can't get enough. My faves are Zara, H&M, and Old Navy and Target. My favorite thing to do is go thrifting for stuff for him [and me!] too!ReplyDelete

Nestle pairs Kit Kat with Pedobear-lookalike
Kit Kat bars are a favorite candy for young children – which is why associating the brand with a character linked to pedophilia is probably a poor marketing move. This summer, Nestle-owned Kit Kat decided to use a light-hearted image of a person dressed in a bear costume playing the drums as its inaugural Instagram photo on Facebook. Unfortunately, visitors quickly noted that the photo closely resembled Pedobear, a meme linked to child pornography. Kit Kat representatives said they had never heard of the character, but took down the Instagram photo anyway.

Slash Reveals 'Apocalyptic Love' Track List, Streams First Single
Slash has shared the track list for his upcoming solo album 'Apocalyptic Love,' which is scheduled to drop on May 22. It's 13 songs strong, but even with the doomsday romance title, the famed shredder is feeling positive and upbeat about the album (which is done except for a few stray mixes) and the prospect of touring. He just wants to get in front of fans and perform.
"I'm looking forward to going out and jamming the stuff live and doing what it is that I do best," the guitar god tells RollingStone.com. Several new tunes should find their way into the set list. He said that 'Anastasia' is likely to make the cut, revealing that it "would be killer for us to play live because it's probably the longest, most instrumentally adventurous song on the record. There's a lot of guitar in it." The title track is also a contender for the live shows, too. Slash shared that it is the first song the band did together.
The first single 'You're a Lie' is already storming onto radio airwaves — check out our song review here. Slash reveals that vocalist Myles Kennedy penned the words to that song. "I completely left the lyrics to Myles. As far away from lyric writing as I can get, the better," he quips. "He's a good lyricist, so it's not an issue."
Of course Slash was asked about the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in April, but he was coy about the details regarding whether or not Guns N' Roses will perform. Foiled!
"It's just far enough away at this point where I'm not focusing on it at all and there's been no new news about what's gonna happen there," he says. Hey, at least he was honest.
April will be here soon enough. A few more weeks of burning anticipation about whether or not the original lineup of GN'R will take the stage won't kill the band's diehard fans.
In the meantime, stream 'You're a Lie' in its entirety over at RollingStone.com, and check out the full 'Apocalyptic Love' track list below:

Eric, Yes, it can be done, but you'll have to mount the el rotor high enough up the mast for the sat antennas to clear the HF antenna at 90 degree elevation. I had a set up like this and it worked fine. The only down side is if you need to work on the sat antennas, you'll have to loosen the el rotor and slide it down the mast to a more comfortable (and safer) level. If you haven't already purchased sat antennas, consider ones that can be 'end' mounted to minimize the required clearance.

Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds.Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs.
The IQ differences, while statistically significant, are not stunning -- on the order of 6 to 11 points -- and the data should not be used to stereotype or make assumptions about people, experts say. But they show how certain patterns of identifying with particular ideologies develop, and how some people's behaviors come to be.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Rational thought will do that for you.
I don't think a lot of intelligence is required to conclude there isn't a God.
To the contrary, some really intelligent people I know, have very elaborate mental exercises to get up their belief. I've met some downright geniuses with insane beliefs.
I'm not a big believer in IQs. That is to say, i suspect its a simplistic measure of intelligence quite easily bised by background. Intelligence probably involves many aspects
I'm also very suspicious about studies like this. Designing them properly is not trivial.
Many atheists I've observed don't appear more rational than theists. they still react on gut triggers to a number of things, just like theists do.
In 2008, intelligence researcher Helmuth Nyborg examined whether IQ relates to denomination and income, using representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth, which includes intelligence tests on a representative selection of white American youth, where they have also replied to questions about religious belief. His results, published in the scientific journal Intelligence demonstrated that on average, Atheists scored 1.95 IQ points higher than Agnostics, 3.82 points higher than Liberal persuasions, and 5.89 IQ points higher than Dogmatic persuasions. [4] "I'm not saying that believing in God makes you dumber. My hypothesis is that people with a low intelligence are more easily drawn toward religions, which give answers that are certain, while people with a high intelligence are more skeptical," says the professor.[5] The relationship between countries' belief in a god and average Intelligence Quotient, measured by Lynn, Harvey & Nyborg.[6]Nyborg also co-authored a study with Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at the University of Ulster, which compared religious belief and average national IQs in 137 countries. [6] The study analysed the issue from several viewpoints. Firstly, using data from a U.S. study of 6,825 adolescents, the authors found that atheists scored 6 g-IQ points higher than those adhering to a religion.Secondly, the authors investigated the link between religiosity and intelligence on a country level. Among the sample of 137 countries, only 23 (17%) had more than 20% of atheists, which constituted "virtually all... higher IQ countries." The authors reported a correlation of 0.60 between atheism rates and level of intelligence, which is "highly statistically significant."Commenting on the study in The Daily Telegraph, Lynn said "Why should fewer academics believe in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population. Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQs tend not to believe in God." [7]
TOT, read my earlier post with the link to the military research. The fair way to measure intelligence, no matter what one's background is, is to define it as information processing ability.
is to define it as information processing ability.
Practically, measuring new learning of initially unknown terms allows for a wealth of items for the creation of alternate forms ofculture-fair tests of new learning.
QuoteThe IQ differences, while statistically significant, are not stunning -- on the order of 6 to 11 points -- and the data should not be used to stereotype or make assumptions about people, experts say. But they show how certain patterns of identifying with particular ideologies develop, and how some people's behaviors come to be.
The researcher's research sounds to me like a waste. People who go to college have been filtered for higher IQ. They wouldn't have been admitted. In college they get, for instance, the details of geology and the vast number of known things about it for which creation has no explanation. They will learn the claims of other religions. It is well known that makes some percentage of college students into atheists.
We have had a number of fanatical believers who have dedicated fine intelligence into detailed apologetics. You can be warped and intelligent.
To the OP, when a non-biased study is done; which this could be -- not stating it isn't -- but, as I was saying, when a non-biased study is done when both sides of the coin is represented by both sides of the coin, then I may tend to agree with such things. 'Til then...-Nam
TOT and Ricky, what other objective ways (backed by evidence) would you support to measure intelligence?
Students can learn that information in high school history and science classes. Evolution, geology, the history of religion and basic philosophy are all things that are taught in high school, and they are all things that would plant a seed that might lead one to question their faith if they are intelligent enough.
At the end fo the day, what is required to disbelieve in God? We don't see him. We see tons of misery in the world. I think, morons should be just as capable of coming to the non-existence conclusion as geniuses.
Again, i was speaking for intuition when I suggested that I suspect the validity of this study. It isn't a matter of this study per se but any study. There are a lot of experimental design errrors that can be made here. The study is something that is inherently difficult to execute properly.
You don't need to look deep into science to doubt God. Some people use their intelligence to construct elaborate ways that religion is true.
If only it were so...
Does that mean that their elaborately constructed "arguments" are rational or supported by science? Not necessarily.
It is so. Stupid atheists most definitely exist. Why does anybody believe in God in the first place? Some people don't even believe that we went to the moon.Look at the 911 conspirators.
At the end of the day, we are all taking a huge number of results on faith.
Unanswered questions exist. You can take some favorite theist proofs such as Kalam. The argument has holes but it isn't totally brain dead. Some intelligent people take this as a sign post to God and proceed ahead based on fiath and personal experience.
We rock, they don't. And we all know it, and it probably pisses them off to no end, knowing that we have always had the upper hand.
Quote from: jetson on September 19, 2011, 10:14:19 PMWe rock, they don't. And we all know it, and it probably pisses them off to no end, knowing that we have always had the upper hand.And we have slightly higher IQs.
Stupid atheists may not have necessarily thought through the nonexistence of God in a logical manner.
Unfortunately, not every atheist is rational.
I can't agree with this statement. Especially the "we are all" part. I prefer to have some sort of evidence or logical reason rather than relying on faith to believe something.

|searching/browsing intersection: TC + Lincoln School
Lincoln School
The Lincoln School (1917-1940) of Teachers College, Columbia University, was a university laboratory school set up to test and develop and ultimately to promulgate nationwide curriculum materials reflecting the most progressive teaching methods and ideas of the time. Originally located at 646 Park Avenue in New York, one of the most expensive pieces of real estate in the city, the Lincoln School was also a training ground for New York City's elite, including the sons of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who provided the additional funding over and above that provided by the General Education Board. Among the school's chief architects were Charles W. Eliot, a former president of Harvard University and an influential member of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools; his protege Abraham Flexner, a member of the controversial Rockefeller philanthropy, the General Education Board; Otis W. Caldwell, a professor of science education at Teachers College and the school's first director; and the dean of Teachers College, James E. Russell.
In the 1920s and 1930s the Lincoln School was the most closely watched experimental school in the educational world, making solid contributions in the work of laboratory schools. It provided a select number of Teachers College students with clinical teaching experience, engaged in curriculum design and development, and provided an observation and demonstration site for teachers from around the United States and abroad. Its own experimental research institute promoted staff development and student teaching, and it distributed its printed materials in national journals and in mass mailings to schools throughout the United States.
Caldwell and his staff constructed an interactive or "experience" curriculum designed to relate classroom materials to the realities of everyday urban-industrial as well as agricultural life. Science and mathematics courses emphasized the practical application of these subjects to life in the contemporary world. Students learned through nonacademic community resources--the fire department, markets, churches, transportation and communication facilities that were used as models for the reorganization of school life, and through music, language, art, and social studies where students imbibed principles that, in the language of the school's literature, were "foundational to effective and upright living."
This Lincoln School sub-pocket contains numerous original documents that provide insight into the daily running of the school such as correspondences between staff & faculty, budgets and meeting minutes from various committees associated with the school and the Teachers College Board of Trustees. The sub pocket also includes items that document some of the major incidents in the schools, life ranging from various reports & surveys conducted, its proposed merger with the Horace Mann School (see also Unification, Consolidation & Resolution) and the lawsuit (Elliott Vs. Teachers College) that ensued in response to this proposal.

Grim start to New Year in NH as three suffer life-threatening crash injuriesBy Bill Smith
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 01. 2014 3:14AM
Single car accidents in Derry and Manchester left a 17-year-old youth, a 16-year old girl and a 29-year old woman with life-threatening injuries in single car crashes on New Year's Eve.
In each crash, a vehicle said to have been driven in a dangerous fashion hit an obstruction head-on by the side of the road.
In Derry, officials said a 17-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl suffered "life-threatening injuries" in a single car crash at Gulf Road and Hampshire Drive.
A car officials said was driven at a high rate of speed slammed into a tree, trapping two of its three teen-aged occupants inside.
The 17-year-old unrestrained driver, and a 16-year-old girl in the back seat suffered life-threatening injuries, fire officials said, Derry firefighters needed 10 minutes to cut away sections of the the demolished car to get the victims out. A third passenger, a 17-year-old male who was riding in the front seat with his seat belt on, suffered minor injuries and was found walking outside the wrecked car when crews arrived.
The entire shift of Derry firefighters, a complement of 15, was called to the scene to remove the crash victims from the wreckage. Once out of the car, the two seriously injured teens were attended by two paramedics and two EMTs as they were taken by ambulance to a helicopter landing zone.
The girl was taken first to Parkland Hospital in Derry and then to Tufts-New England Medical Center. The male was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital.
In Manchester, a 29-year-old Allentown woman was seriously hurt in an accident Tuesday evening at about 7:30 p.m.
A Toyota Echo driven by Christine Decker, 29, of Allenstown apparently jumped lanes on North Main Street and slammed into a utility pole, police said.
The crash happened shortly as a caller to the city's 9-1-1 emergency line reported seeing the vehicle being driven erratically through the city's West Side.
The witness described the car crossing onto the northbound lane on North Main Street and crashing into a utility pole.The Toyota sustained heavy front end damage in the wreck, which happened near Manchester High School West.
Decker was taken to Catholic Medical Center for treatment.
A passenger in Decker's vehicle, Timothy McLemore, 22, of Allenstown, was taken to Elliot hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Police said alcohol, drugs and speed are being investigated as possible contributing factors to the crash.

A bloody mess: Indians remove pitcher Trevor Bauer after sliced finger begins to drip
For the Cleveland Indians, Game 3 of the American League Championship series started as a bloody mess.
Starting pitcher Trevor Bauer, who injured himself last Thursday messing around with one of the 10 drones he owns, left before the bottom of the first was complete.
The cut on the pinky finger of Bauer's throwing hand could be seen openly bleeding as he faced the top of the Blue Jays batting order. After issuing a second walk in the inning to Blue Jays second baseman Troy Tulowitzki, Jays manager John Gibbons asked home plate umpire Brian Gorman to check out the situation.
After Cleveland counterpart Terry Francona came to the Rogers Centre mound, Bauer was demoted from the game and replaced by reliever Dan Otero.
Happy Halloween pic.twitter.com/zny8FFTmmL— Deadspin (@Deadspin) October 18, 2016
The final pitching line on Bauer: Two walks, one strikeout and 21 pitches.
The Jays were hoping to make some headway early and tied the game at 1-1 when Canadian Michael Saunders hit a solo home run to left field in the bottom of the second.
The Indians entered Game 3 of the best-of-seven-series leading two games to none.

annotates a letter from Francis Capen, who claims to be a "Certified Practical
Meteorologist—& Expert in Computing the Changes of the Weather."
Capen assures that his weather-forecasting talent will benefit the War
Department. Lincoln writes, "It seems . . . Mr. Capen knows nothing about the
weather, in advance. He told me three days ago that it would not rain again
till the 30th. of April or 1st. of May. It is raining now & has been for
ten hours. I can not spare any more time to Mr. Capen."
