The Buffalo Bandits (8-3) and Rochester Knighthawks (9-3) can both clinch playoff spots this weekend. (Photo: Larry Palumbo)
The National Lacrosse League features a new and expanded playoff format for the 2014 NLL season. The postseason race is heating up as teams fight for position in the standings with hopes of earning a playoff berth, and even a first-round bye.
The undefeated Edmonton Rush (11-0) have already clinched a postseason berth in the West Division and have secured their first home playoff game in franchise history with their 11th-straight win on Friday night.
Meanwhile, two more teams in the East, the Buffalo Bandits (8-3) and Rochester Knighthawks (9-3), can clinch this weekend if the Bandits beat the Minnesota Swarm (2-9) on Sunday.
Scenarios are outlined below:
Buffalo can clinch a playoff berth with a win at Minnesota on Sunday. Nine wins would be unattainable by Minnesota. Buffalo wins season series vs. Philly and Toronto 2-1 each, thus winning any solo head-to-head tiebreakers. There is no possibility of a four-way tie including Rochester, since Buffalo would have to lose twice more to Rochester to go 9-9. Buffalo wins three-way tiebreaker with Philly and Toronto per below:
Rochester can clinch a playoff berth with Minnesota loss. This would give Minnesota 10 losses and out of reach of tying Rochester. Rochester wins season series 3-0 over both Toronto and Philly, thus winning any heads up or three-way ties.
Before the start of the season, the league reduced the number of teams who qualify for the playoffs from eight to six teams, featuring the top three clubs in each division's standings. The crossover rule no longer applies. The two regular season division champions will earn a first-round bye as top seeds. The second seed will host the third seed in their respective division for the single-game elimination Division Semifinal in the first round.
New to the postseason format, the Division Finals and Championship both expand to a two-game series from the previous single-game elimination setup. The top seed from each division will play the winner of the Division Semifinal game between the second and third seeds, with the lower-seeded team hosting the first game and the higher seed hosting the second game of the series.
Teams who win both games shall win the two-game series. In the event of a series split with both teams winning one game, a 10-minute tiebreaker game will be played immediately following the conclusion of the second contest to determine the winner of the playoff series.

Shortly after 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 6, a large truck pulling a back hoe snagged an overhead La Plata Electric Association (LPEA) power line, pulling it down and breaking an adjacent pole in the vicinity of 574 E. Apache St., knocking 297 LPEA customers out of power.
Crews worked at the site all day to affect repairs. By 10:39 a.m., LPEA was able to restore power to 143 customers, and by about 3:30 p.m., only 90 customers remained out of power. Power was restored to the final 90 customers later that evening.

About Jean Patou
History and background of Jean Patou. Jean Patou was born in Normandy, France, in 1880. Patou's father was a leading tanner (leather maker) and his uncle owned a fur business which Patou joined in 1907. In 1912 Patou opened Maison Parry, a small dressmaking salon in Paris, and sold his entire 1914 collection to one American buyer. His career was then interrupted by the war, which he spent as an army captain. Read more about Jean Patou

Governor's Numbers Rise and Fall.....Vinehout Approves
The Governor's approval rating is slipping while the numbers of folks supporting a recall against him are on the rise. That's according to the latest Wisconsin Public Radio/St. Norbert College Survey. It shows that 58 percent of respondents believe Walker should be recalled from office. That compares with 47 percent who said in April that Walker should be recalled. Senate Democrat Kathleen Vinehout says while the recall goes on...she says those that represent in Madison must go forward in their day to day jobs.
Concealed Carry Permits...So Far So Good.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has recieved over 37 thousand applications for concealed carry permits in the past two weeks.........and quirks so far?
Doug Dombrowski says some reasons some applications are being rejected include some out of state folks failing to enclose the required training affirmation forms and others entering incorrect information such as the applicants birth year.
Lacrosse County Budget Approved
A couple of shockers in the new Lacrosse County Budget. The highlights......the total county tax levy will remain virtually the same for the third straight year at $30.8 million and a tough balance that hasn't been seen in a while.
Taxes Drop and Fees Increase in New City Budget
Not a whole lot of arguments about a $74 million budget for the city of La Crosse next year. Tuesday night's budget hearing produced sparks primarily over the $634 thousand in new fees and fines that are part of the city's budget plan for 2012. City council member Jim Bloedorn, one of those adamantly opposed to the fees
Harter Vetoes City Hall Weapons Ban
If the city council is trying to keep the public safe, banning guns is the wrong way to do it.
La Crosse mayor Matt Harter's reasoning for vetoing an ordinance passed by the city council this month that would keep even those with licenses from carrying concealed weapons in city buildings. Harter says, since preventing those who would legally carry weapons from doing so would mean only criminals would have guns, the city would be preventing properly licensed gun toters from defending themselves and others. Look for a vote from the council to override the mayor's veto during meetings next month.

Eating and drinking your hangover cureson December 30, 2013 @ 10:40 am
"You should feed the dog, not take the dog to the bar."
That doesn't mean that he, Thierry Rautureau, and Katie O, on KIRO Radio's Seattle Kitchen, don't have their share of hangover tips - or even some great recommendations for whipping up a Bloody Mary, a very popular hangover combatant.
When you wake up a little out of sorts, maybe with a headache or a touchy stomach, what should you eat?
For Thierry, it's simple: two eggs sunny side up and a nice piece of toast.
Tom likes something a little heavier. He goes for griddled Italian sausage, a plate of hashbrowns, and sauteed spinach.
Of course, if you're hungover, cooking it might not sound as appealing as going out. That's why Tom likes to order up his favorite hangover dish at Vera's in Ballard. He said he orders his spinach from the omelet menu, and they're kind enough to put it on the side.
If, unlike Tom, you prefer to drink your breakfast, they also have suggestions for the ideal Bloody Mary.
Tom thinks it's the special ingredients that make some Bloody Marys rise to the top while others fall a little flat.
At Etta's, they make their Bloody Mary's with Pepper Vodka and plenty of horse radish. And that's how Katie O likes them - with a lot of heat.
Meanwhile, over at Luc's, Thierry makes Bloody Marys with asparagus they pickle at the restaurant, giving it a special twist.
Katie O says Matt's in the Market serves their Bloody Marys with snit or beer back. "It's a Midwestern thing," Katie O explains.
Perhaps a mix of these would cure a hangover, take Thierry's Bloody Mary with pickled asparagus and pair with Tom's favorite griddled Italian sausage and spinach. How does your stomach feel now?

The Illusion of Intelligence
Jul 28, 2014
General Nonsense
[Update: I haven't seen in the comments an example of intelligent behavior that a human has and a computer does not (or can not have) with today's technology. I see examples of things that GROUPS of humans can do (design a better computer) and I see examples where the missing ingredient is motive, not intelligence, and I see examples where emotion is conflated with intelligence, and I see examples where humans do things by trial and error. I can't comment on your older comments because my blogging software doesn't display them in my stupid CMS. -- Scott]
Maybe the reason that scientists are having a hard time creating artificial intelligence is because human intelligence is an illusion. You can't duplicate something that doesn't exist in the first place. I'm not saying that as a joke. Most of what we regard as human intelligence is an illusion.
I will hedge my claim a little bit and say human intelligence is
an illusion because math skills are real, for example. But a computer can do math. Language skills are real too, but a computer can understand words and sentence structure. In fact, all of the parts of intelligence that are
have probably already been duplicated by computers.
So what parts of intelligence are computers failing to duplicate? Answer: The parts that only LOOK like intelligence to humans but are in fact just illusions.
For example, science knows that we make decisions before the rational parts of our brains activate. So if you make a computer that thinks first and then decides, you haven't duplicated human intelligence. If you want your computer to think like people it has to start with an irrational set of biases, make decisions based on those irrational biases then rationalize it after the fact in ways that observers think are stupid. But no one would build such a useless computer, or even try.
I laughed about the recent reports of a computer that passed the Turing test by pretending to be a teenager that was such an airhead jerk that he never answered questions directly. That fooled at least some of the observers into thinking a real teen was behind the curtain instead of a computer. In other words, the researchers duplicated human "intelligence" by making the computer a non-responsive idiot. Nailed it!
Allow me to go through some examples of what we might regard as human intelligence and I'll show you why it is nothing but illusions.
: When it comes to politics, humans are joiners, not thinkers. The reason a computer can't have a political conversation is because politics is not a subset of intelligence. It is dogma, bias, inertia, fear, and a whole lot of misunderstanding. If you wanted to program a computer to duplicate human intelligence in politics you would have to make the computer an idiot that agreed with whatever group it belonged regardless of the facts or logic of the situation.
If you insisted on making your computer rational, all it would ever say is stuff such as "I don't have enough information to make a decision. Let's legalize weed in Colorado and see what happens. If it works there, I favor legalizing it everywhere." In other words, you can program a computer to recommend gathering relevant information before making political decisions, which is totally reasonable and intelligent, but 99% of humans would vehemently disagree with that approach. Intelligent opinions from machines would fail the Turing test because irrational humans wouldn't recognize it as intelligent.
: A computer can't feel love, but love is an irrational chemical reaction that causes us to mate and care for families. There's no intelligence in love.
Buying a New Car
: Do you need intelligence to select a new car? Apparently you don't need much, because two people in the same situation will select different cars. We get influenced by the color, the style, and other factors that appeal to our bias. From there we rationalize away the low gas mileage and the bad reliability. The only genuine thinking involved in buying a car involves knowing if you have enough money for it, and a computer can do that. A computer could do the rest by being programmed to have a favorite color and a particular style preference (flashy or boxy). Then the computer can rationalize the choice after the fact, same as humans. But there is very little human "intelligence" involved.
Following Complicated Instructions
: We humans often need to follow complicated instructions to complete tasks. When the directions are clear, about half of all humans will get the job done right and half will get it wrong. A computer could probably succeed at about the same rate already. If we try to create a computer that always gets instructions right, we aren't duplicating human intelligence because humans can't do that. Humans only get things right on a regular basis when the instructions are simple and clear. Computers can already do that.
I could go on forever with different examples of human behavior that appear intelligent but are not. My point is that we are looking to the future for the day when computers equal us in intelligence when in reality that day is behind us.
Okay, commenters, give me an example of human "intelligence" that a computer can't already duplicate with a little programming effort. And keep in mind that it has to be an example in which nearly all humans would make the same choice. Otherwise the computer can duplicate the behavior by randomness or a set of programmed biases, and none of that is intelligence.

So you're saying there is no such thing as intelligence because most people are biased, illogic morons?
The Turing test itself is a moronic idea.
It doesn't judge intelligence, it judges likeness to human behavior.
One can program a Homer Simpson bot that will pass the Turing test, but that bot won't be intelligent at all.

So, collectively, humans can make a computer that is more intelligent than one of them individually? Why not make a group of these computers and get them to develop a new computer that is more intelligent than any one of them, then repeat? Since working with a group of other people surely isn't intelligence, this plan should work nicely. I'll settle for a 20% cut of the Nobel Prize money once you've accomplished this.
I think you're a bit off with the Turing example. "Computers were able to feign human intelligence by emulating someone who displays none". Hell, I could make a macro in excel that would pass on that basis. Q: "What is your name" A: "U WOT M8" Q: "What is your favourite colour?" A: "U MAD??" Q: "What is the average air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" A: "Yolo Swag". Exceedingly difficult. Also, that isn't how the 'average person' would answer. Since you rely on 'the-average-person-in-day-to-day-life' for justifying your opinion, you should perhaps stand by that when giving examples.
Do you have any examples of computers learning when they're put into a new environment? Kind of like how they get octopii or crows to solve puzzles? I think the ability to learn and survive when necessary is a stronger indicator of intelligence than the general complacency people exhibit when going about their routine, day-to-day lives (you can program routine fairly easily).
Anyway, this comic seems appropriate: http://xkcd.com/1386/

Something's been bugging me for a while and I'm hoping Scott will think about it.
Whenever I try to define free will, it falls apart as recursive nonsense. The concept is based on pure nonsense. That's not what's bugging me, though. What bugs me is that when I accept that free will is meaningless nonsense, then my next thought is "therefore, consciousness itself is just an illusion."
The reason that bugs me is that I don't see the connection--I don't understand why one thought should logically follow the other. Is it a mental hiccup, a simple non sequitur based on a feeling? I could dismiss it as such, but I can't find a motive for thinking this. Usually when I catch myself having delusional thoughts, I can uncover my motive pretty easily. This feels different, it feels like a "eureka" moment--but I can't accept it as such if I can't follow the reasoning.
Why did my "webgrunt" account get twitted?

Win a chess g...wait...win Jeopardy...uh, nevermind.
Write a bestselling novel. Compose a bestselling piece of music. Or create anything that has widespread emotional appeal.
The buyers of the product may be acting on emotion, but it takes intelligence to create a successful product that will appeal to that emotion. As far as I know, there's no way to quantify what will make one writer or other artist wildly successful and another one only moderately so. There's no formula or instruction that can be followed to do it.
I don't think we yet know how to program creativity or imagination.
Humor is similar. It does follow certain rules, so it's possible that a computer might be able to write some basic jokes, but I am very skeptical that any computer program could come close to the success of, say, Gabriel Iglesias or Scott Adams.

You basically claim that humans are too irrational to be intelligent, by your definition of intelligence based on rationality. This is true, the majority of the human brain is not rational, it is only there to process threats to the self-interest.
If this is true, humans being overly irrational, how can an irrational human like you define 'intelligence' rationally?

if intelligence is just an illusion, surely it would be very easy to copy and to create a computer that produces the same illusion? A compute that choses a car because it has the right color that matches his keyboard design?
This reminds me of BF Skinner, who seriously argued that there is no such thing as personal decisions, or personal subjective experience for that matter. He may not have had any personal subjective experience himself, as he was most likely autistic (or a robot created by aliens). Also, his idea that all human behaviour can be explained by conditioning is clearly false. However, he did give his adversaries a good run for their money, as a lot of our decisions are clearly based on external influences such as upbringing, education, religious membership, and other forms of brain washing. Yet, we live the illusion that we independently chose that decision ourselves. So, maybe you are the new BF Skinner?? Hail to our New Lord...

Strange thing to say. There are all sorts of tasks that people can do - even children - that computers can't. For example, understand the rules of a game, with an unfamiliar mechanic simply by observing, extrapolate abstract principles from partial data (e.g. cows are always combinations of white, brown and black), hypothesise a cause of a situation, or distinguish which of two stories is factual, or at least intended to be, and which is fictional.
They probably *could* be solved with programming effort, but that's what AI research is. We can program computers to do simplified versions of these tasks in an extremely restricted domain, but nowhere near as abstract as humans.

Trying to think of an example is an exercise in trying to figure out the differences between intelligence, inspiration, intuition, problem-solving skills......haven't thought of an example but I keep hearing my Mom saying, "You're intelligent but you have no common sense."

Can human's recognize intelligence? I only ask because recently I came across one of what I would judge to be the craziest of the tin foil hat blog posts ever (I should note that I was googeling "Hoover Dam angels" and it was one of the top results). Now the part of me that goes to work M-F and pays bills says that the writer is a certifiable nutjob, the part of me that enjoys "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" wonders if he is on to something.

I would opine that a human can be faced with a choice of an apple or a cream cake. A human can choose the cake because we, "like," it. That is also a choice which is made after rational thinking and concluding that we prefer the cake because of the effect that it has on the taste sensors of the body. The apple would have less of an effect on the amount of fat around the stomach and/or hips.
My own conclusion of some years is that if you want to ape human intelligence ... toss in a random number generator ... or a ten pence piece and invent a coin tossing machine.

Roger Penrose has a proof that his theorem about aperiodic tilings cannot be proven by any machine algorithm. It is essentially a proof that the processes which create biological intelligence are fundamentally different than any computational device yet conceived.
I do, however, believe it is probably possible to mimic what biological brains are doing -- once scientists figure out what that is. The simple reason AI hasn't worked is no one (yet) knows what that is. Humans may one day build a better brain - but it won't be like any computer that currently exists.

"Update: I haven't seen in the comments an example of intelligent behavior that a human has and a computer does not (or can not have) with today's technology. "
So....why isn't today's technology doing everything for us? Why aren't machines writing the scripts for TV shows, etc.
Methinks you don't really understand the true scale of the problem. Getting artificial intelligence working is not just a case if dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's.
Making a computer respond like a teenager isn't a good yardstick because most teenagers don't actually do anything useful. Answering back is pretty much all they do.
The important part of what humans do comes later on, and that's where computers have the problems (I don't think Alan Turing was thinking of "teenagers" when he formulated his test).

[ OK, a computer cannot come up with an example of human intelligence that a computer can't already duplicate with a little programming effort.
[Neither can a human, judging from the comments on this blog. -- Scott] ]
But they can! We may not agree with all of the answers, but they are many reasonable ones. I'll give you a rule that will enable you -- but probably not a computer -- to come up with as many examples as you like. A computer will not be able to perform tasks that requires self-awareness.
- Design a test that can detect a computer posing as a human.
- List five things that annoy you about internet commenters
- Describe how would your life be different if you had blue hair.
- List three ways to improve your interaction with the Apple UX.
Now certainly a human can can program a computer to provide his/her opinions, and to simulate refection and self-awareness, but until the computer actually becomes self-aware, they will not be able to perform tasks that require them.

What's the point of this article? It feels a little like gotcha journalism. Intelligence is essentially being defined as decisions that 100% of humanity agrees upon, more or less reducing it's scope to math/hard science (which already seems like a generous concession since there are pockets of humans who don't "believe" in science/math).
Given that restriction - yes, computers are just as intelligent as humans. Scott wins! However, that seems like a fairly drastic alteration in what we all think of when we talk about Artificial Intelligence. Don't we want AI to be more like the movie Her? An entity that understands emotions and humor?

@danbert8: I am a researcher in Image Analysis, and computers are increasingly able to say what's going on in an image. In fact there are research groups working specifically on sports action recognition, among other things. We have miles to go, but we are moving towards it.
To answer Scott's question, as we researcher's say: it is not difficult to solve a (solvable) problem. So no wonder the computers can answer questions or solve problems. The difficult part is finding the problem, or asking the question. As you yourself would say, Scott, we don't know what we don't know. This when someone asks a question or poses a problem for the first time, they are actually picking up something from the vast ocean of unknown and giving it a name. This is still a human's job and I don't think machines will take over that part anytime soon. After the problem is posed, solving that problem is easier. Machines can do that.

The advisor-centric conference will also help advisors increase professionalism, improve efficiency, reduce liability and reconcile the challenges faced by ERISA consultants when pursuing participant level business.
The two and one-half day content rich program was designed by the CFDD's advisor network. The bottom-up agenda consists of more than fifty different sessions. Over 100 industry experts will participate, including fifty accomplished advisors. The agenda is fresh, populated by a "Who's Who In The Industry" and forecasts the direction of the retirement plans market.
The interactive agenda will raise the bar on conference education and provide valuable takeaways that can be applied quickly and have a measurable impact. To maintain focus, avoid overlap, ensure new content, case studies and preclude commercials, the CFDD plays an active role in content management.
|Major changes are ahead and advisors would be wise to re-think their practice strategy, but specialization and retirement plans remain central to growth. The content rich agenda will provide advanced sessions for specialists, help other intermediaries develop retirement plans business and open the door to wealth management opportunities. The pre-conference training will also show wholesalers how to increase productivity and help TPAs & RIAs develop new business relationships.
In addition to a strong agenda, pre-conference training, a charity golf event (proceeds to the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund) and a major kick-off party, registrants benefit from expanded networking time, CE credits, complimentary breakfast/lunch/cocktail receptions and numerous vendor invitations.
Advisors work hard all year and the conference's educational content will require registrants to remain focused. To bridge the gap and create a fun networking atmosphere, the Kick-Off/Charity Golf Awards Party will feature a biker theme. Authentic his & hers H-D leather MotorClothes will be awarded to the best biker-attired individuals during the party. The grand prize, a 105th Anniversary Edition Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and other valuable raffle prizes will be awarded at the concluding event.
The CFDD's conferences sell out early. More accomplished retirement advisors attend our conference than any other event and our ratio of advisors to registrants is unmatched.

Steven Tyler could have probably taken some notes from his fellow American Idol judges when he was prepping to sing the national anthem at Sunday's Patriots-Ravens AFC championship game. The Aerosmith frontman got heckled by the crowd at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., when he flubbed lyrics and sounded a bit pitchy (dawg!) during his game-opening performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Watch the video below!
The fans in attendance became vocal when the 63-year-old sang slightly incorrect lyrics to two lines: "as bomb bursting in air" instead of "the bombs bursting in air" and "oh the land of the free" instead of "o'er the land of the free."
The reaction shots of the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens players and coaches are pretty priceless. Tom Brady in particular seemed taken aback by Tyler's performance -- and he wasn't alone.
Twitter lit up with hundreds of insults from fans, including one from Greg Gutfeld, host of FOX News Channel's Red Eye and cohost of The Five. "i went outside to put a raccoon out of its misery -- then i realized my neighbor was watching Steven Tyler sing the Star-Spangled Banner," Gutfeld wrote.
Of course, this is Steven Tyler we're talking about: The "Dude Looks Like a Lady" singer isn't exactly known for his buttery smooth voice, but rather for his unique talent for melodic screeching. And, if you ask us, his "Star Spangled Banner" renditions sounded about on par with his other live performances.
At least classically-trained singer Kristin Chenoweth received a rousing response when she performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" later in the evening at the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers game at Candlestick Park in San Francisco.
Tyler recently suffered a pretty nasty injury when he was traveling through Paraguay. He slipped and fell in the shower, and ended up losing his front tooth and getting a black eye. Tyler had to cancel one of his shows in the country, but rescheduled for the next night, explaining that he's not one to let fans down.
"Short of having my leg taken off, people are going to expect me to take the stage," the American Idol judge said at the time.
Despite the negative response to Tyler's performance, the singer's hometown Patriots defeated the Ravens 23-20 to advance to the Super Bowl.

Breastfeeding through this pregnancy?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 07-28-2012 - 10:20am
A few ladies here have mentioned breastfeeding through pregnancy - I'm curious how many of us there are? And what are your experiences wtih it (in your current pregnancy or past pregnancies)?
My two-year-old is still breastfeeding. I have met my breastfeeding goal (two years) so I think I would feel fine about it if he weaned at any point during pregnancy. However, since there are still health benefits for both of us,and since it's still a nice way for us to spend quiet time together (not to mention my secret weapon at nap time!), I'm happy to continue for now.
I feel very grateful that (so far!) breastfeeding while pregnant has not been uncomfortable. However, I do strongly suspect that my milk supply has gone down. His appetite for solids has noticably increased. Also, for a couple months now, I've been trying to limit nursing to bedtime and morning waking, before and after nap (on days that I'm home), and upon reunion when I've been gone to work or somewhere else. Only since pregnancy has he been easily dissuaded from dropping the "in between" feeds.
|Sun, 07-29-2012 - 9:19pm
I would have loved to continue breastfeeding thru this pregnancy. But it wasn't to be. My DS2 decided to wean when I fell preg, I think the milk changed or something. He still asks for "boobies" everyday. Has one or two sucks from each side and then looks a bit disappointed but gets on with playing. Yesterday he just did an open mouth "kiss" and that was it. I really miss it actually. But give it a few months and i'll have another little one to breastfeed.
|Mon, 07-30-2012 - 3:35am
I successfully breastfed my oldest for 11 months, at which time she self-weaned. I was working full time so I had to pump every day at work which was very stressful because my boss did not support my decision to breastfeed and pump.
I am still breastfeeding my 16 month old however I am trying to wean her because I'm working full time again and I know that breastfeeding/pumping for both of them will be too much for me. I'm trying to wean her now because I don't want her to feel replaced when she see's the baby nursing. She's doing pretty well with it. We're down to 3 times per day. I've been through a lot with her. I've had mastitis a couple times, blocked ducts, pain, you name it. But we've hung in there and I'm happy to do it.
I will have to pump at work with the new one but, luckily, my new boss is much more understanding.
Good for you ladies who are or have breastfed!!!!
|Mon, 07-30-2012 - 8:25am
THis will be my third time nursing while pregnant. Both of the previous times, my nursing babe was right around two (and approxmiately half way through my pregnancy) when they weaned all on their own. Pretty sure my milk changes and decreases in the middle of the 2nd trimester.
This time by nursing kiddo is a little younger thant he other two were, so I'm not promising myself he'll wean. But sort of hoping. I'm not opposed to tandem nursing though, if it happens.

Today I'd like to show you some of the landing pages that I have created in the past, and let you know which plug-ins or products I used to create them.
Yes, I have been known to create simple landing pages with HTML (or PHP). I do this if I need a quick solution for a site that does not already use WordPress.
Here's an example from my own IT site that I link to on my Twitter profile: http://www.tappenden.de/twitter/
2. WP-SalesLetterTheme
If you want to work in WordPress and are on a tight budget, then this theme is perfect. The basic theme is free and although you have to do all of the copywriting and layout yourself, the theme at least contains the CSS elements to turn the normal WordPress editor elements into typical sales letter pages with the large red headings and the pale yellow boxes.
Since it replaces your theme it needs to be installed on a WordPress installation on its own, so this would be the case if you had a sub-directory or domain just for selling a product.
There is a more sophisticated version which comes with a number of variants and version that works as a page template, so that you can integrate it into an existing site without changing the theme, but these do cost a small fee.
One example of me using this theme is for my German CV e-book:
You can download the free version of the theme here.
3. Plain WordPress
If you don't want those CSS elements, you can even just use a normal WordPress page an set it to be "full width" in the theme (assuming the theme supports that).
I do this for the DIY Blogger sign-up page:
4. Premise
Premise is a plug-in that comes from the same people who write the Genesis theme. Unfortunately it's not that cheap since they released a new version that basically comes with an unlimited site license and appear to have removed the single-site license which was available previously. I do own a copy, which I bought once during one of their sales, so if you're not in a hurry it might be worth waiting for one of those to come along again.
Premise has the advantage that it takes care of a lot of things for you, so you can just drop in a sign-up box, place a "buy now" button and choose from a selection of the buttons that they offer.
The latest version also includes some membership features, so if you are just looking to create a site that offers digital downloads or content, then this may actually be worth looking at because it takes care of basically everything, as long as you are using PayPal or Authorize.net as a payment system. You can even drip content with it and it support vBulletin as a forum.
Now I have a feeling that they are trying to place themselves somewhere near WishListMember, rather than just being a sales page plug-in.
To be honest, I have tried creating some sales pages with it but wasn't always as successful as I wanted to be and the moment I have to start tweaking CSS then I don't want to know, as I can go back the SalesLetterTheme instead. I have, however, made it a priority to use Premise for some new things that I am working on. Although when I first looked at the new version, I wasn't that impressed by the membership option, but maybe I need to look at that a bit closer.
Here's a sample from someone else that was created with it:
5. Optimize Press
Optimize Press is a whole theme in itself that contains squeeze page options, so if you own this then you might as well use it to create the squeeze pages. I have played with it on a test site, but don't actually have anything that I can show you.
It's actually cheaper than Premise at the moment, but you do need a membership plug-in if you are going to use it in that way. Again, I've had it running on a test site, but as yet have not created anything with it worth showing.
But as an example for you, I know that David Risley's Inner Circle uses it, so maybe take a look at that.
6. Presidential List Building
This is landing page plug-in that is meant to help you grow your list. It mimics the White House landing page which is basically just a large background photo with a sign up box.
If that sounds interesting, then take a look here.
7. Pop-up Domination
You probably saw a lot of sites using this a couple of years ago. When it first came out it was a great plug-in and I used it quite well on AllThingsGerman. Sadly through the course of the updates it became more of a problem for me. Sometimes I could not update a site because the plug-in broke it, then at one of those times they released a new version rather than an update, so I had to pay for it again – although I did receive a discount. The problem was that they used the opportunity to introduce a new licensing system and my multi-site license was downgraded to a single-site one when I paid for that upgrade, at which point I decided not to use it any more.
8. Shortcode Kid
This plug-in is not actually actually for landing pages, but it allows you to create buttons, infoboxes and tabbed contents using shortcodes within the page, so it might be worth looking at.
9. Membership Sales Page Plug-in
This is the only plug-in on the list that I did not own a copy of before I started writing this article, but I do have other software by the same programmer. It's actually quite cheap and I like the fact that the on-line button creator (which I do use because it's part of another product as well) allows you to save the buttons that you create, rather than hosting them as Premise likes to do. The plug-in turns a page without your site into a sales page by overriding the theme for just that page. It allows you to set the colours for the headings from within the editor, overriding the CSS styles and making it easy to use.
In fact, if you're looking for something cheap (currently $17) then give this a try, because the graphic generator alone is probably worth that!
Take a look at it here.
So have I missed anything? Have you created any landing pages with these products? Then leave a comment or a link in the forum!

Dolan of New York, in a letter that otherwise criticized Mr. Cuomo's support for abortion rights.Mr. Cuomo had already stirred up anxiety among gun rights groups by saying in a radio interview in December that "confiscation could be an option" for existing assault weapons.Read the article: The New York Times

Who said a black man in the Illuminati?
Last time I checked, that was the biggest racist party
from Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPower Lyrics on Genius
The "Illuminati" have been rumored to run the world for a very long time. Since blacks and minorities have been treated so badly throughout history, he concludes that a black man can't be in the "Illuminati" because black suppression/oppression seems to be a part of their agenda.
Also a knock on all the conspiracy theories around the hip-hop community that influential artists like Jay-Z and Kanye West are involved in occult orders. Kendrick is brushing all of that off as gossip.

You Can't Mark and Measure Without the Proper Tools
Learn how to dial-in your measuring and marking for better-built furniture projects
When most folks start to experiment with woodworking, they use whatever simple tools they have at hand; perhpas a circular saw to cut stock, a handlheld drill for dowel joinery, and a jigsaw for cutting curves. All of this is well and good but I feel it is all-too-common for novice woodworkers to forget about one of the single-most important aspects of quality woodworking: marking and measuring.
Have you ever tried to lay out a mortise-and-tenon joint with a common 16-ft tape measure? Have you marked for a square crosscut on a piece of lumber by measuring in from one end on along the top and bottom edges of the board, then connecting the dots only to find that your line was anything but straight? Then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Marking and measuring tools should be appropriately sized for the scale of the work you intend to produce. But there's more: you can't expect to accurately lay out precision joinery with a $12 combination square that isn't square, a pencil that isn't close to razor sharp, or a wooden ruler swiped from your child's pencil case.
Measuring and Marking: A Basic Toolkit
Below, you'll find my most often-used tools for measuring and marking. In fact, the tools shown are straight outta my tool bag.
|A high-quality 12-in. metal ruler is great for general measuring and marking. A good quality ruler will be tough, accurately marked, and will last forever. I also use a 6-in. ruler. A smaller ruler is great for marking and measuring joinery. Thelittle guys also tend to have a short measurement scale on their ends as well. This is a great feature for setting the bit height on a router table. You can lay the entire long end of the ruler down on your table and use the short end to measure height up from the tabletop (albeit in small increments).
|This is an invaluable tool to have at-the-ready. Not only can you use it to strike perfectly straight and square lines, you can slide the ruler along the head in order to set the tool up to make precise marks and measurements when laying out joinery. What's more, you can also use a square like this to set up machinery. A square set on a tablesaw's top and slid right up to the blade will allow you to dial in a saw blade that is perfectly square to its table.
|This is essentially the pint-sized version of the conventional 12-in. combo square. A smaller 4-in. model is great for laying out joinery because it's easier to wield and move around in your hands while using a pencil. Remember what I said about "scale" in my opening paragraph? This is a perfect example. Why grab a large 12-in. square to layout a 3/8-in. x 2-in. mortise in a leg blank that is 2-in. square? It's overkill!
|An engineer's square isn't adjustable and it doesn't take measurements. However, these tools are manufactured to be absolutely dead-on straight and square. For this reason, they're nice to have around for two basic procedures: squaring up blade-to-table on a tablesaw, and the striking of lines that are at a perfect 90-degrees to the reference surface you're marking off of.
|Ever notice how a conventional tape measure is cupped? They're manufactured this way for use on construction sites, where it's quite common to extend the tape over several feet, maintaining rigidity so you can stand in one spot and hook the tape over a target that's out of reach. This functionality isn't necessary in a workshop. These handy Flatback tapes omit the cup and have measurements that are actually written out beside each hash mark: 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, etc.
|Furniture requires precise marks that are thin and sharp. Fat, blobby pencil marks lead to imprecise cuts. For this reason, I tend to use mechanical pencils with fine leads – say around .05. I've also been known to put a point on a conventional #2 pencil in a sharpener, and follow up with some sanding of the business end. This leaves you with one very sharp pencil! Great for marking out joinery and other stuff!
You've Got Your Tools--Now What?
Now that you've armed yourself with some measuring and marking tools of decent quality, let's discuss a two of the finer points of marking when it comes to life in the workshop.
Gang Marking
Accuracy and Speed-All in One
Gang marking is the marking of multiple work-pieces at once. Lets say you had four table aprons (the pieces that connect all four legs on a table), each of which required a mark exactly 12-in. in from the ends for one reason or another. You could go along measuring and marking for each of the four cuts one-at-a-time, but try as you might, those four marks would never be located in exactly the same location on each apron.
A better approach would be to stack all four pieces together, make sure their ends are all in perfect alignment, and use a square to strike a line down all four aprons at once. You're killing four birds with one stone!
Reference Surfaces
The idea of using "reference surfaces" is critical when marking for any kind of joinery--be it simple dowel or biscuit joints, or the more advanced mortise-and-tenon. You should be referencing your measuring tools off the same exterior or "show" faces whenever you make a mark. As an example, let's say you want to join a table apron to a leg using a mortise-and-tenon joint. You want your aprons to be set back from the exterior face of the legs by 1/4-in. so that they aren't flush with one another. When using a square and pencil to layout for your joinery, you always want to reference your combination square against the exterior faces from which those aprons will be set back. Your outside, show faces have now become your "reference surfaces" for all the marks you may need to make.
Reference surface also become critical when using biscuit joints to join tabletop pieces together. You always want to have the base of the biscuit jointer registering off the same reference surface to ensure your pieces line up flush with one another.
Notice how I've marked the outside face of this table leg with a red crayon? I do this on all my outside surfaces so that I can quickly identify which surfaces to reference my square off of when marking out for joinery (right).

The first is "what does acne look like?" followed easily by "which meals cause eczema?" As you might anticipate, this is a query that provides important weight as there are many individuals who have this situation, which is not only annoying (itchiness, dryness) but can be cause for discomfort.

I always enjoy information on getting and maintaining accurcy in marking and cutting. The purchase of good quality measuring devices is of great importance.
There are a couple of thing that I have found over the years that can help in the accurcy. One is the use of the same measuring item while making something. I have about 15 different tape measures and I had a certain belief that they all should all measure the same. Well shame on me, After checking almost all of them, when checked out to about three feet were different .I have found that using the same tape when making a project helps greatly in the accurcy of the item.
The second thing is that the manufactures of tape measures feel that the tapes we need all need to be 12 feet or more. Yes, there are some pocket tapes of four or five feet, but are very inaccurate. It would be nice if there was a pocked tape of four, five or six feet that we could use conveniently when make wood projects.
Thanks again for great articles. I also believe in measure twice cut once.
