Step 1: The model 240 cm by 240 cm
Step 2: The materials
4 sticks of pine of 240 cm by 5 cm by 6 cm (5 is front; 6 is deep) (photo1)
6 selves of DM of 240 cm by 22 cm by 3 cm (photo2)
4 wall metal peg screws to hold large weigths (one for each stick) (photo3)
12 regular wall plastic peg screws to hold medium weigths (three for each stick) (photo4)
Step 3: Cut off mortices on sticks and shelves
In the sticks make a mortice for every shelf.
In the shelves make a mortice for every stick.
In our case this means 6 mortices in each stick and 4 mortices in each shelf.
As a rule, in sticks make a mortice 2/3 deep of the side of the stick and in shelves make a mortice 1/3 deep of the side of the stick. (In the example this means 4 cm in sticks and 2 cm in shelves because the side of the stick is 6 cm).
Step 4: Hold vertical sticks on the wall
Check verticality with a bubble level.
Fix the other 3 screws in every stick.
Step 5: Finishing
The last thing to do is to insert wedges of wood under all the shelves and in every stick untill all the shelves are ortogonal (=perpendicular) (=90 degres) to the sticks.
Step 6: Another example
It is 15 meters wide and 2,5 meters high with vertical sticks every 0,5 meters.
It was made with all kind of particles boards we had around.
As it can be seen in the photo it has no mortices in the selves --just in the vertical sticks-- and it works too.

I can't tell you how many shelves I have cut or pieced to flow in and around studs and made or bought little brackets to attach to each side of every stud, and never thought of this. it is so elegantly simple. I wish I had seen this sooner!
patience and prep is key here
..and routing is the icing on cake
Would this hold up on drywall?
Yes and Yes.
There are solutions at the comments for drywalls.
Basically it consists in making to fit any (at least one) stick of the shelves with a stud of the wall.
Good luck (and post photos of your result).
work perfectly in.
It took a while to get the vertical wood pieces attached to the wall then some more time to get the horizontals to fit in again. I can't believe how sturdy it is!
I can't even fit a piece of paper into my joints. I had to use a hammer and a lot of brute force to get the horizontals fitting the verticals, so I had to skip that step. The thing is going nowhere!
Wonderful work.
I like much your low table solution for the shelve at the bottom. Is it on wheels?
Thanks for posting the photos.
I am sorry but it is not a good idea. The whole desing is based on structural simplicity. And puting screws to hold the selves to the sticks would destroy this simplicity. Furthermore, mortices + wedges is much much stronger than screws.
But yes, eliminating the need to wedge would be desirable. Wedging is rocket science for a clumsy dude like me.

CARS WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS: Small cars, like Brilliance's Cross pictured, now make up some 70 percent of Chinese vehicle purchases thanks to government tax breaks on the fuel efficient autos. But their sheer number--the Chinese now own some 200 million vehicles--means ever-increasing oil dependence.

SHENYANG—Rows of new white minibuses marshal at the entrance to Brilliance Auto's sprawling complex on the outskirts of this industrial city of 4.2 million people in northeastern China. The complex includes assembly shops, dormitories and corporate headquarters, in addition to temporary parking for the company's products. In one cavernous, dimly lit shop, workers in tan overalls with blue highlights repeat over and over the same basic assembly task as a conveyor belt slowly but steadily carries the skeletons of future minibuses from station to station at the pace of the slowest worker. The air is filled with brief blasts of whirring power tools and the smell of ozone and rubber. Everywhere is the logo of Brilliance, a blocky knock-off of the oval symbol of the world's largest automaker Toyota.
The logo is perhaps an homage to the mammoth company whose partnership with Brilliance has helped it to shine, along with additional help from BMW. The Chinese state-owned enterprise now sells some 80,000 "JinBei" and "Granse" minibuses a year—after assimilating Toyota's "Hiace" and "Granvia" minibus models during a previous joint venture, or what the Chinese call technology "digestion."
"At the beginning, we had no ability to develop our own vehicles," says Wang Shiping, Brilliance's vice president of strategy, via a translator. "Now we just purchase engines from Toyota. We have two engine plants but it's the customer's choice: if they like Toyota engines we provide that. If they like domestic we have that."
Much like the U.S. or neighbors Japan and South Korea, China has made automobile manufacturing a focus of its development efforts—naming it a "national pillar industry" in 1994. Brilliance's parent company—Huachen—employs some 35,000 people. And much like Henry Ford introduced an economic model that worked for America—building cars that his workers could afford on the salaries he paid them—the Chinese public has responded, purchasing roughly 14 million vehicles in 2010 and lifting the global fortunes of automakers both domestic and foreign, such as GM, which, for the first time in 2009, sold more cars in China than in the U.S.
At the same time, China has invested heavily in infrastructure to make the country car-friendly: roads, bridges, tunnels—an orgy of construction that happens to double as a stimulus plan. A pristine four-lane toll highway leads out of this northeastern city, empty except for a few trucks and official convoys speeding past in their specially licensed black sedans. But within a few years, the lanes will be crowded with cars and the next cycle of road-building will begin. Beijing started its second ring road in the 1980s and completed its sixth—stretching 187 kilometers around the sprawling capital—in 2009.
Predictable results have followed: traffic jams that stretch for kilometers, sprawling suburbia and rising fuel prices. The vice mayor of Beijing was recently "exiled" to work in Xinjiang province after a debacle of some 30,000 vehicles being registered in a few weeks in December in anticipation of a curb on new auto registry. The Beijing municipal government duly laid out its plan on December 13 to combat the capital's roughly 4.8 million vehicles that have turned the city's roads into sinuous parking lots, including encouraging the use of the new subway system and restricting new vehicle registries to just 240,000 in total next year, roughly one-third of 2010's total. Plus, a haze covers the cities of China—a combination of the smoke of a million coal fires and all the vehicles' exhaust obscuring the skyline with smog's airlight, turning a Beijing sunrise from rosy to peach.

What was that first Pokemon you caught?
Was is on the first few routes?
Or did you wait until something better?
Mine was a Bellsprout, so I could trade it for the Onix.
Hmm, I'm doubting.
It's either Mareep or Pidgey.
Name: Xeno
Friend Safari:Dragonite made by Equal-to-Heaven
Spoiler:- X-Team:
Mine was either Pidgey or Sentret.

Safaris I am looking for with these Pokemon:
1. Drifblim
2. Poliwhirl
3. Heracross
4. Whirlipede
5. Gothorita
6. Forretress
7. Sigilyph
Why can't people post in polls?
Anyway I think it was Sentret.
Pidgey. It later went on to become a valuable part of my team as a pidgeot.
I think mine was Sentret in HG which I used to trade for a female Vulpix egg I had prepared for the game.
~Xx Flare xX~
Mine was a Zubat, yeah thats right. I actually used a Zubat.
Crobats still actually a member of my team.
Love Zubat! They're so cute!! But my first one caught was Sentrate.
I wish I could find a shiny Zubat though. In all the games I've played, I've never found one.
Addicted to battling, training, and finding shinies!!

Quote from sister: "I hate that one time I saw a shiny Meowth... in a Pokemon battle... That shouldn't even be possible!!"
We do have a HeartGold/SoulSilver Discussion section, you know...
HOWEVER, in the name of being a good sport, I believe it was a Sentret in HG and a Hoothoot in SS.
I always catch the bird Pokemon first, so it was Pidgey for me.
Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaaake!!!
It was either Mareep or Ekans.
Can't remember which one.

I have officially claimed Nidorina in the Claim-A-Pokemon thread. Beware the cuteness!!
Note to self: Don't change location or user title until the second season of MLP: FiM has gotten underway!
My White Team:
^ Win!Originally Posted by AzukanAsimbu
You know your mom spends more of your money than just on groceries. Shes hittin the booze too. Shes just drunk dialing you
Mine was either Mareep so I could have an Amphoros on my team or a Hoothoot to trade for a Phanpy cause I can't catch one on SoulSilver.
I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this if you are too.
I caught a Geodude in Dark Cave at level 3 and used it until i ould get Swinub. I also caught a Zubat at level 3. Never try to raise one after doing that. You can't attack until level 13 when you get bite. It's ten levels hell.
The first one I caught was Mareep. I got it so that I could beat Falkner with it. Now it's part of my main team.
"Getting pride from simply being part of a group is stupid. Especially when anybody can join said group."
I caught a sentret when I got the game. Furrets are cool and I thought it would later help me through the game. Unfortunately I failed and made an entire team of terrible pokemon who were all weak to the gym leaders. So I ended up starting the game over. XD XD
R.I.P. Pseudos Legend Clan. We lost you 10/10/10.
Mine was a pidgey
Either Sentret or Pidgey, to trade for eggs.
Battle Maison Team
Best Win Streak: 54
Onix / Shuckle / Nosepass
In my HeartGold run, I decided to only catch Pokemon that I would use on my team, HM Slaves, and rare Pokemon (Dratini, Red Gyrados, and Legendaries).
First capture was Caterpie. It's now a Butterfree on my main team, which consists of Feraligatr, Butterfree, Togekiss, Tauros, and Growlithe, all in their mid-upper sixties (in levels).
My Current Pokemon Anime Journey
Current Episode: Hoenn Alone! (277)
The first pokemon I caught on my SoulSilver game was a male Hoothoot. I used him on my team untill i beat the elite 4 then swapped him for a crobat.
Dark Valley Request Shop
My shop is closed but feel free to use anything in the thread. Give credit!
Wanted: Someone who can think of great Pokemon nicknames
Mine was Pidgey, i think it is really useful at the start of the game.

SOURCE Elton John AIDS Foundation
EJAF's Second Round of Grants for 2013 Address Needs of Under-served Populations
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) today announced its second round of grants for calendar year 2013, totaling $2,090,275. To date, this new funding brings EJAF's grant investments for 2013 to nearly $3 million.
"After more than 20 years of doing this work, I know that the only way to fight AIDS is by helping everyone in need, especially those living at the margins of society," said Sir Elton John, who founded EJAF in 1992. "That's why we are very proud to support truly innovative organizations that are providing critical services to the most stigmatized populations."
EJAF's one new and nine renewal grants support projects in Jamaica, Haiti, Canada, the Southern United States, and national initiatives throughout the U.S. Target populations covered by this grant cycle include gay men, incarcerated populations, injection drug users, African Americans, and young people. Grantee activities include HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care services, legal services, organization development, and policy and advocacy.
Included among these new grants is a new two-year $1 million commitment to EJAF's founding partnership with the Syringe Access Fund, which will be distributed as small grants to approximately 48 syringe exchange programs across the United States.
"Numerous scientific studies have incontrovertibly established that syringe exchange is a highly effective method for helping injection drug users significantly reduce their risk of becoming infected with HIV and other blood-borne diseases and transmitting these diseases to others," said EJAF Chairman David Furnish. "Studies have also clearly demonstrated that syringe exchange programs help to remove contaminated needles and syringes from community streets, playgrounds, and other public areas and to encourage drug users to avail themselves of other health and social services, including drug rehabilitation and treatment programs."
"We are extremely excited about the innovative work being undertaken by these grantees," said EJAF Executive Director Scott Campbell, "but our work doesn't stop there. We are already in the process of reviewing our final round of grant applications for the year, and we anticipate announcing more new grants in December."
About EJAF
At the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) we believe that AIDS can be beaten. We act on that belief by raising funds for effective programs and policies, and also by speaking out with honesty and compassion about the realities of people's lives. Sir Elton John created EJAF over twenty years ago, first in the United States in 1992 and then in the United Kingdom in 1993. Through hard work and with the help of our network of kind, amazing, creative, and generous friends and supporters, the two foundations together have raised more than $300 million over the past two decades to combat stigma, prevent infections, provide treatment and services, and motivate governments to end AIDS. The U.S. foundation focuses its efforts on programs in the United States, the Americas, and the Caribbean, while the U.K. foundation funds HIV-related work in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Join us in speaking out, taking action, and contributing to our efforts to achieve a world without AIDS.

One of the highlights of the Annual Meeting of the Members in Green Bay was presentation of the William F. Howell Cup to the Austin Chapter as winner of the Association Outstanding Chapter Award (AOCA) for 2011. Association President Norbert J. Kubilus presented the Howell Cup to 2011 Chapter President Eric Hungate in front of over 100 members from around the country. Eric expressed his thanks to the Association "for the recognition and this outstanding award. AITP Austin is so very proud."
Eric Hungate (right), 2011 President of the Austin, TX chapter, accepts the Association Outstanding Chapter Award from President Kubilus.
"On behalf of all those involved with AITP Austin, I cannot express how much we appreciate this extraordinary honor, and I greatly thank all those involved in selecting AITP Austin," said Doug Fogle, 2012 Austin Chapter President. "It is especially meaningful to be the first to receive the award of the William F. Howell Cup. Eric and I have tried to incorporate all of the missions and the values of AITP into our efforts to steer the Austin chapter, and we are thrilled to have watched the chapter grow and to have been chosen for this award."
AITP has a long tradition of recognizing the outstanding achievements of its Chapters and their dedicated leaders. There were 19 Chapter Outstanding Performance Award (COPA) recipients for 2011 and eight Region Outstanding Chapter Award (ROCA) winners, including Austin. See this Information Executive article: http://www.aitp.org/news/89307/.
Austin is the first Chapter to receive the William F. Howell Cup, named for the first and only individual to achieve 60 years of continuous membership in the Association. Previously known as the President's Cup, each AOCA winner has a plaque on the base giving the Chapter name and year awarded.This is the second year that AITP asked an external review panel to make the final AOCA selection. Thanks to Association Executive Vice President (and 2012 ICCP President) Bill Fly, the AOCA Selection Panel for 2011 consisted of ICCP Board members. They reviewed the COPA applications for each of the 2011 ROCA winners. Based on these applications and recommendations submitted by the Region Presidents, the panel selected Austin as the 2011 Association Outstanding Chapter.

The 80's Called... They Want Their Necklace Back.
I found this necklace at the thrift store a few weeks ago, and while I kind-of disliked it, I also thought it was kind-of cool at the same time. I think it actually think its coordinates well w/ my thrift store sweatshirt too.... probably also from the 80s.
How was everyone's Monday?

I like it! It reminds me of a necklace that I had when I was little that was made from wood and had little parrots on it.
My Monday was horrible though! I had to two hours in line at the campus parking bureau, and then 30 minutes waiting to make copies at my office, and then had run a variety of boring errands. I was sooo tired by the time I got home!
I hope that your Monday was much lovelier! - January 12, 2010 at 5:35 AM

Weddings and Breaking Even
Whenever you think you understand how the world works, when you think your perception of the world is correct, it is important to realize the role of the observer. The observer by the act of observing changes things.
When I hear newly weds (or those soon to be married) discuss red packets at weddings, I get the distinct impression that to them, red packets and by extension the guests, are a means to cover cost. Now, is that how these couples feel, or is it just merely how I think they feel.
I know how I got the impression although I can't remember whose wedding led to the impression. Many many years ago, I was invited to a wedding. Last minute. Like a few days before the wedding. When I attended the wedding, I was stuck at a table with strangers. The wedding was just one whole going through the motions charade.
Stand up to welcome couple. Sit down. Wait for first course. Watch video montage of photos. Eat a few more courses. Stand up for the couple's second entrance. Toast the couple. Hear best man say a few words. Hear the speech from the groom. Eat a little more. Take photo with couple. Eat a little more. Walk out main entrance shaking the hands of the parents and the couple.
Singaporean weddings are so standardized that it would make Henry Ford proud.
I shared the incident of the last-minute wedding with some friends and the consensus was that I was a third-tier friend, invited only because a space opened up and the couple didn't want to waste a slot (i.e. pay for an empty seat).
And so I developed a cynicism that activated each time I got a wedding invitation. Was I being invited because the couple genuinely wanted me there. Or was I a last minute inclusion because a more important friend couldn't make it. Had they initially wanted me at the wedding but I was excluded because of space constraints and now they were more than happy that they could include me. Or was I there to make sure they didn't get one less red packet.
You would think that I would know the strength of my own friendships with my friends to not be bugged by such questions. And it is true. For most weddings I've been invited to, I knew the reason I was invited and going – to celebrate an important occasion with friends I love.
But the questions became relevant when I started wondering why other people were at these weddings. Did my friends invite them because of their parents? Was it because the use of the ballroom demanded that a certain number of tables be filled? Were these extra tables subsidizing the couple's desire to have a wedding in a ballroom at a specific hotel?
The thought process that goes through my head when deciding the amount to put into a red packet.
1. He/She is a good friend. I really want to give an amount to bless them.
2. But hey, don't you remember, red packets are really just about covering cost (this is my arguably flawed perception of the thinking occurring in the minds of people getting married).
3. So what's the cost of a table?
4. Ok, I'll just give my share.
5. But wait, he/she is a good friend.
6. Ok, so I give enough to cover my cost and a little more.
7. Wait, can I afford to give enough to cover both the cost and the blessing?
The continuation of the above thought process is linked to how I see people react when they realize they didn't get a red packet from a guest or that the guest gave below a certain benchmark (usually the cost of a table divided by ten) – they get upset.
Now, there are many reasons to be upset, some valid, some invalid, and one of them which I think is invalid is the feeling that the guest didn't live up to the expectation of helping the couple not lose money for the banquet.
A valid one might be – I thought we are close friends, and well, they aren't poor, so giving so little, makes me think our friendship is not valuable (sadly, whether we like it or not, money is a marker of worth and value in our society).
And so,
8. Since society has made it really just about covering cost (or rather since I think society has really made it just about covering cost), then, I'll shall just put enough to cover cost. If that's the standard, then, let's play by it.
Which of course is rather petty.
Giving the red packet isn't about how my married friends will react to the amount or about what their expectations are or even how society at large plays this game. It is really about me wanting to do right with my friends.
It is about me wanting to bless them as they enter the next phase in their lives.
In a way, I've missed the opportunity to think that way with 3 of my best friends – JS, HX and WS. I won't make that mistake anymore.

Robert Boyle's Clockwork Universe
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
Zoologist Steve Roels shares a summary of his experiences listening and talking with the scientists in attendance at the Third World Summit on Evolution and also offers a reflective essay and poem about evolution, psalms of praise, Darwin, and the islands that so inspired him.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Its questionable treatment of science and scientists—with an attack mindset and a goal to make scientists look stupid—causes me to advise extreme caution. Bluntly, I see this video as counter to our evangelistic mission.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
Listening to his story I had to remind myself that Phil was an atheist, not a seminary student recalling those who had inspired him to enter the pastorate. As the narrative developed, however, it became clear where things came apart for Phil.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
My Hawking-induced crisis of faith spurred me to move beyond a "God of the gaps"—a shrunken deity enlisted merely to fill any remaining pockets of mystery that science has yet to illuminate. Indeed, my experience has been that recapturing the doctrine of Creation in its scriptural fullness points us toward a much more exciting understanding of creation. It points us toward a God for whom science is a gift rather than a stumbling block. And perhaps most importantly, it points to a Creator God who is worthy of worship, enjoyment, and trust.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.

Should the United States Get Rid of the Electoral College? >
The Electoral College Defends Liberty in Ways Direct Democracy Doesn't
The Electoral College protects checks and balances in the American political system
November 5, 2012
Before deciding against the Electoral College, every American should understand two things about our system of government. First, America's not a democracy. It's a representative republic. The only place in our federal government where "one person equals one vote" is the House of Representatives.
It's not "equal" that California and Rhode Island each have two senators. California has close to 38 million residents; Rhode Island has about 1 million. This means that a person from Rhode Island has about 38 times more representation in the Senate than a Californian. Should we also abolish the Senate?
What about the Supreme Court? Have you even tried to calculate its democratic equality? Hint: It's awful. Ironically, this profoundly "undemocratic" institution also happens to be the most trusted branch of government.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the 2012 campaign.]
Let's be clear: the greatest violence that's been done to the American people on the "democracy" score has been the decades of partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts. These bipartisan incumbent protection plans have made sure that the House represents the majority position of the majority party rather than the majority sentiment of the American people.
Second, the framers in crafting the Constitution sought to promote two major principles: separation of powers and federalism. In short, government's power should be divided horizontally across the three national branches and vertically between Washington and the states. This competition for power would foster a system of "checks and balances," protecting individual liberty and undermining tyrannies. By staggering elections, setting different term lengths, forging different geographical districts, and designing different modes of selection, the framers sought to ensure officeholders would represent "the people" as American citizens and residents of a state. Accordingly, the Constitution "is neither wholly federal nor wholly national."
And this is where the Electoral College fits into our American system and defends liberty in ways that direct democracy does not, despite the fact that the framers imagined that it would operate differently than it does today.
[See photos from the 2012 Presidential Campaign Trail.]
How does it work? Like the World Series, you must win games (states), not merely runs (people). There's not a single election for president, but 51 elections, including the District of Columbia. According to Alexander Hamilton, this "affords a moral certainty, that the office of president will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications." If a baseball team were forced to play 51 games, wouldn't we all agree that the team that won the majority of those games would be the "better" team? Generally, this is what the Electoral College does: It forces presidential candidates to win both people (runs in a single game) and states (the majority of games). This makes the president an able representative of the United States of America, who is tasked with balancing national and federal interests.
More problematically, is the notion that the national popular vote is imbued with meaning. No candidate tries to win it because that's not how the game is won. As such, past national popular vote totals don't make for a legitimate argument against the Electoral College's four supposed "failures" (1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000). The popular vote totals mostly arose as a by-product of each presidential candidate's electoral vote strategy. It's nearly impossible to speculate what the national popular vote would have been had the presidential candidates tried to win it.
And even if one does look to 2000, the problem was not the Electoral College, but the closeness of the election. Had we used a national popular vote to determine the president, we still might not have one.
[See the 12 Biggest Donors of the 2012 Election.]
Gore earned only about 500,000 votes more than Bush, and there were about 100 million ballots cast that day. The two candidates were 0.5 percent apart, which also happens to be the threshold level set by many states for an "automatic recount." And as any statistician knows, when one is counting 100 million ballots, the law of large numbers tells us that a recount is not likely to be a more accurate count, only a different count. The Electoral College confines voting controversies to the states, and allows for a more orderly counting of ballots than would likely occur if votes were aggregated and finalized nationally.
But even aside from the practical concerns and circling back to this issue of representation, Gore's popular vote margin came from earning 1.3 million more votes than Bush in California. Should Californians have been able to "overrule" the rest of country and install their overwhelming favorite in the presidency?
The Electoral College not only supports the "checks and balances" in our system, but ensures that our elections don't devolve into chaotic legal battles between the parties.
As Alexander Hamilton explained, if "it be not perfect, it is at least excellent. It unites in an eminent degree all the advantages, the union of which was to be wished for."

Laci Jade Roberts has not received any gifts yet
And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me
So you better hear me out this much you owe me
I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you while I've stayed
Faithful all the way this is how I fucking get repaid
Not even once say you appreciate me I deserve respect
Ive done my best to give you nothing less than perfectness
And I know that if I end this I'll no longer have nothing left
But you keep treating me like a staircase it's time to fucking step
And I wont be coming back so don't hold your fucking breath
You know what you've done no need to go in depth
I told you, you'd be sorry if I fucking left
Id laugh while you wept
Hows it feel now, yeah, funny ain't it, you neglected me
Did me a favor although my spirit free you've set
But a special place for you in my heart I have kept
It's unfortunate but it's...
Too late, caught in a chase...
I'm moving on forget you oh,
Now I'm special? Oh, I didn't feel special when i was with you
All I ever felt was this
Imprisoned by a selfish bastard
Chew me up and spit me out
I fell for this so many times
It's ridiculous
And still I stick with this
I'm sick of this but in my sickness and addiction
You're as addictive as they get
Evil as they come vindictive as they make em
My friends keep asking why I can't just walk away from
I'm addicted
To the pain, the stress, the drama
I'm drown in so I guess imma mess
Cursed and blessed
Now, I'ma climb out this abyss.
Too late, caught in a chase...

Politics does funny things to people. In March 2005, when I first interviewed Jim Gilchrist, the Minuteman Project had not yet begun, but he already gave the distinct impression that he was in over his head, and knew it. "I never thought it would get this big," the retired CPA confided, nervously stroking a Chihuahua on the couch of his tchotchke-crowded Aliso Viejo living room. The phone rang. He let the machine answer. It was someone from ABC World News. A frightened smile twisted Gilchrist's lips. Nearly two years would pass before he would be unceremoniously canned by the very organization he had founded, but the signs were there for those with eyes to see them. The phone rang again. It was an aide from Colorado Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo's office. Gilchrist picked it up.
The previous fall, Gilchrist had typed an e-mail to Chris Simcox, a former L.A. schoolteacher with a John Wayne complex who had spent the years since September 11, 2001, patrolling the Arizona border in search of dark-skinned invaders. Gilchrist offered to come down and help out, and to recruit a few volunteers. His brother designed a Web site, and the effort, through the combined miracles of the Internet and the gullibility of the press, was soon harvesting headlines all over the country.
Gilchrist never had to bother with what, for the last century at least, have been the staple activities of political agitators in America. He gave no soapbox speeches, pressed very few palms. He didn't leaflet on street corners or canvas house to house. He suffered through no endless kitchen-table strategy sessions. He didn't even have to meet with his own followers, and encountered most of them for the first time when they arrived in Arizona. All Gilchrist had to do was spill a little spleen onto his keyboard, dress it up with patriotic allusions, and let the World Wide Web take over.
He hardly came off as a silky demagogue. Gilchrist sounded more like an addled, out-there uncle, a basically goodhearted fellow with whom you might want to avoid certain subjects, such as politics, or brown people. He had a hard time staying on topic, or even finishing a sentence. He spoke openly of the "intrusive thoughts" he had suffered since his tour in Vietnam. He had no problem admitting to being anti-war and pro-union. He despised corporate America, which he described as a den of "slave traders" who exploited undocumented foreigners at the expense of the American working class. He mourned the mythic melting-pot homogeneity (with all its shades of whiteness) of the America in which he had grown up, and he feared — to near hysteria — the fate of what he saw as an increasingly ethnically divided and class-polarized nation. If nothing was done to alter America's course, he told me, "We're talking the 'R' word, revolution, and the 'I' word, insurrection. We're talking guns and bayonets and bombs, Tim McVeigh, Waco, Ruby Ridge — but a lot of it. We're talking little homemade armies of neighborhoods."
Before I could get a word in he was spinning out a nightmare vision of a Latino gang slaughtering a black gang "in a long, drawn-out battle." Then, "a white gang comes in and decides they're going to take out the Hispanic gang, so 200 white guys come in with their M-16s and AKs and flamethrowers and they kill all 200 of the Hispanic gang, line 'em up and execute them!"
The Minutemen, as he saw it, were the only thing standing between Santa Ana and Srebrenica.
That April came and went, and with it the first phase of the Minuteman Project. A few hundred anxious patriots registered by e-mail, and found their way to Cochise County, Arizona. Bush called them vigilantes. Schwarzenegger praised them for doing "a terrific job." Gilchrist and Simcox traveled to Washington, then split up. Simcox took charge of the redubbed Minuteman Civil Defense Corps' patrols in Arizona and beyond, and Gilchrist launched Operation Spotlight, which sought to expose and prosecute employers of undocumented workers. "We're going after the slave traders," Gilchrist enthused.
Between them, despite ego battles and an often dizzying degree of incompetence, Gilchrist and Simcox had spawned a movement, albeit one as fragmented and schizophrenic as its erstwhile leadership. Splinter groups began popping up from Ventura to Virginia, spreading the word via the Internet and talk radio. Most of these groups had no formal existence outside of chat rooms, and their leaders, more often than not, were the ones who ran the Web sites — and jealously so. To anyone who had followed the movement's growth, the events of the last few weeks — Gilchrist's ouster by a faction of the Minuteman Project's board; allegations of gross mismanagement and missing funds; complaints lodged with the IRS, the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the courts — came as no surprise, an amusing end to a not-so-funny story.
Locally, going after the slave traders meant hanging out in Home Depot parking lots, harassing day laborers and the contractors who hire them. Gilchrist was often only peripherally involved, but then he was distracted. In fall 2005, he told Fox News' Alan Colmes that he was "literally pushed .?.?. by an overwhelming weight of the electorate" into running for the Orange County congressional seat vacated by SEC chairman-designate Christopher Cox. Gilchrist was the candidate of the American Independent Party, founded by former Alabama governor George "Segregation Forever" Wallace. He "was probably a bigot," Gilchrist admitted.

Match report: York City 0, Coventry City 4
11:49am Wednesday 10th October 2012 in Sport By Dave Flett, Sports reporter
CALAMITOUS defending saw York City gift Coventry City an easy passage into the third round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, following a thumping 4-0 home defeat.
Experienced pair Clarke Carlisle and Scott Kerr made second-half howlers that David McGoldrick and Callum Ball gratefully capitalised on.
An awfully-defended free-kick then handed McGoldrick the opportunity to claim his second of the night before left-back Chris Hussey completed the rout on 90 minutes.
After an even first half, the Minstermen ran out of attacking impetus following the break and have now equalled a club record by failing to score in four consecutive home matches during the same season.
Home boss Gary Mills made three changes to the side that started Saturday's 0-0 draw with Rotherham.
On-loan Peterborough United midfielder Danny Kearns was handed his full debut and Kerr kicked off his first senior game since suffering knee ligament damage at Luton back in March.
Oli Johnson also made his first competitive start for the Minstermen following his summer switch from Oxford United.
Utility man Dan Parslow dropped to the bench with Michael Coulson and Paddy McLaughlin both left out of the 16-strong squad altogether.
Matty Blair, keen to impress against his home-town club, forced a near-post save from Joe Murphy after just 34 seconds, having burst through the left channel following Jason Walker's dummy.
Moments later, City goalkeeper Michael Ingham was called into action for the first time, gathering John Fleck's angled drive after the Sky Blues winger had got the better of Jon Challinor down the left flank.
An open start to the game then saw Carl Baker shoot wide from eight yards after he beat Jamal Fyfield to a low sixth-minute Ball cross.
Blair's inventive back-heel was then deflected into Murphy's direction after good work by Johnson while, at the other end, Baker sidestepped a Kearns challenge before testing Ingham low to his right from 25 yards.
On ten minutes, an upright Ingham reacted smartly to push away Richard Wood's close-range downward header and, shortly afterwards, on-loan Nottingham Forest striker McGoldrick wasted a 5v2 situation for the counter-attacking visitors when he chose to shoot selfishly from 25 yards.
His effort almost surprised Ingham, however, who unconvincingly fumbled the ball behind for a corner.
Ashley Chambers was equally as profligate for City when he miskicked four yards in front of goal and Walker fired narrowly wide after his excellent run through the right channel was picked out by Challinor.
Midway through the half, Fleck's shot flashed inches wide of Ingham's top right-hand corner after Chris Doig had given away possession while Chambers almost uprooted the corner flag with a 20-yard chance and Fyfield shot wide of Murphy's near post with his weaker right foot.
Coventry made a purposeful start to the second period with McGoldrick's smart turn creating a good chance that he curled wide.
Ball then somehow contrived to head wide from two yards after a right-wing cross from McGoldrick, who went on to break the deadlock on 58 minutes.
Attempting to play the ball out from the back just moments after replacing an injured Doig, Carlisle only succeeded in finding the feet of McGoldrick, who gleefully accepted the invitation to curl into an out-of-position Ingham's bottom left-hand corner from 25 yards.
McGoldrick and Franck Moussa immediately went close to doubling the visitors' lead while the hosts offered no attacking threat.
After Baker went close with a dipping, long-range attempt, another hapless error settled the tie.
A tired Kerr was robbed of possession 30 yards from goal and Ball went on to beat an exposed Ingham with an easy side-footed finish.
Further slackness saw the visitors add a third on 81 minutes when McGoldrick profited again from a sleeping home defence to latch on to Baker's quickly-taken free-kick and beat Ingham despite the efforts of Fyfield to prevent the ball crossing the line.
City's best chance of a consolation saw Jamie Reed, brought on as a substitute to the delight of home fans who had been chanting his name, prod an 88th-minute chance towards goal that was cleared off the line.
Substitute Hussey then broke to add a fourth goal, bursting through the left channel before driving across Ingham into the bottom corner.

Ingham (4) - well below his average.
Challinor (5) - pretty anonymous, no huge mistakes.
Smith (4) - no specific errors, but his defense let in 4 goals
Doig (6) - actually not that great in the first half, but equally no goals conceded 'on his watch'.
Fyfield (6) - For me, the best of our defenders on the night. Pretty poor overall but always at least looked interested and lively. Not at all to blame for the OG, if anything he should be praised for actually having bothered to go for the ball whilst everyone else (Ingham included) was just stood around doing nothing.
Kerr (3) - well below average, gave away a goal, not yet fit.
Kearns (5) - very limited contribution, but no huge mistakes.
Blair (7) - other than Fyfield, the only player who looked alive in the second half, ran constantly, did everything he could. Still not great on the ball however, but at least it was a good effort.
Johnson (7) - looked good to me, only played the first half so not responsible for the subsequent debacle.
Walker (5) - hard to judge, because he had no service, but at least he won a few headers.
Chambers (4) - gave the ball away, never in the correct positions.
Carlisle (3) - gave a goal away, his defense then let in 3 more in 30 mins - very poor.
Parslow (6) - difficult to make an impact, but he got stuck in at least and tried to keep possession.
Reed (n/a) - not enough time on the pitch to judge.
I don't mean these ratings to be harsh or morale crushing, but they're fair relative to an 'average' performance for each player. Ingy cannot possibly have played an 'above average' '6' performance, and let in 4 goals - it just dosnt make sense. They can all do much, much better and the scores should reflect that.

Anthropology and Food (Encyclopedia of Food & Culture)
ANTHROPOLOGY AND FOOD. What distinguishes the anthropological study of food from that of other disciplines is its focus on food within a cultural and often cross-cultural context. Anthropologists study humans and human culture across space and evolutionary time; this includes the study of their own culture and social institutions. Subfields of the anthropological study of food include cultural, linguistic, biological, and archaeological anthropology. Research in nutritional anthropology cuts across these subfields. Food requires hunting, gathering, growing, storage, distribution, preparation, display, serving, and disposal, all of which are social activities. Topics for the anthropological study of food within a cultural system include economy, inequality, gender, status, hunter-gatherers, and food as a symbol.
Of basic interest to archaeologists is the diet or subsistence pattern of the peoples they study. Since seasonal patterns of movement are often linked to subsistence regimes, archaeologists frequently study the overall settlement-subsistence pattern. Other major topics of study related to food are the origins of agriculture, the process of plant and animal domestication, and the study of foodways (food in a social and cultural setting). With the help of interdisciplinary teams of specialists, archaeologists examine a variety of evidence such as animal bones (faunal analysis or zooarchaeology), plant remains (paleoethnobotany or archaeobotany), human bones (osteology), residues (chemistry), and the settlement system. Faunal and paleoethnobotanical analyses are able to determine diet (which animals and plants were eaten) as well as hunting, gathering, butchering, and preparation techniques, the identity of preferred or high-status foods, the seasonality of site occupation and diet items, and whether the animals/plants were domesticated. The phrase "You are what you eat" is true in that what you eat forms the
Biological Anthropology
Topics in biological anthropology range from biological and nutritional questions about humans and primates (e.g., questions of nutrition, health, and evolution of human and primate physiology and diet ) to cultural practices and choices that affect biology and nutrition (e.g., dietary strategies and food selection choices). Cross-disciplinary themes include the process of human adaptation, population variation, and health. In many societies, medicine is not distinguished from food. Human digestive systems, the substances upon which humans feed, and medicinal natural substances are closely intertwined and are the result of a co-evolution.
Linguistic Anthropology
Linguistic anthropologists study human perception and communication, finding a close connection between how
Cultural Anthropology
Cultural anthropologists pioneered the method of ethnographic data collection wherein the anthropologist lives among and participates in the daily life of the native culture over a period of months or years. Ethnographers attempt to situate the study of food within a community or culture, seeking to explain the interrelation between food systems and human behavior. Frameworks for the study of food include but are not limited to economy, political economy, cultural ecology, inequality, gender, ethnicity, households, policy formulation, biodiversity, hunter-gatherers, urbanization, and food as symbol. Cross-cultural research compares food and food systems in different cultures, most recently through multisited studies.
Ethnobotany and Ethnobiology
Ethnobotany (study of the relationships between plants and peoples) and ethnobiology (study of the relationships between living organisms and humans) draw on the resources of each of the subdisciplines of anthropology as well as from other fields such as chemistry, botany, pharmacology, zoology, entomology, engineering, and so on. A major concern of these disciplines is intellectual property rightsho should be compensated, and how they should be compensated, for sharing their traditional knowledge about plants and animals or for sharing the results of breeding plants or animals.

James William Bell is wanted for the alleged molestation of three young girls, then aged 9 to 13, in Middletown, Rhode Island. The molestation allegedly occurred while Bell was working at a local YMCA. He was arrested in Allyn, Washington, on August 7, 2003, and brought back to Rhode Island where he was arraigned on numerous counts of second degree child molestation in Newport, Rhode Island Superior Court. Bell was released on bail, but failed to appear for a pre-trial conference on July 15, 2004. A local warrant was issued for his arrest on July 30, 2004, and Bell was charged with probation and bail violation. A federal arrest warrant was issued on January 9, 2006, in the United States District Court of Rhode Island, and Bell was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
Bell may have fled to Washington State, or elsewhere on the West Coast. He may wear eyeglasses. -FBI

Attorney's fees (or attorneys' fees)
The amount billed to a client for legal services performed on his or her behalf. Attorney's fees may be an hourly, flat (for a particular service, e.g. $10,000 to handle all aspects of a DUI case) or contingent fee (a percentage of client's recovery, e.g. 33%). Attorney's fees may be set by an attorney-client compensation agreement or in certain types of cases, by statute or a court.
Illustrative caselaw
See, e.g. Carr v. Pearman, 860 N.E.2d 863 (Ind. Ct. App. 2007).
See also
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The payment made to a lawyer for legal services. These fees may take several forms: hourly, per job or service -- for example, $350 to draft a will, contingency (the lawyer collects a percentage of any money she wins for her client and nothing if there is no recovery), or retainer (usually a down payment as part of an hourly or per job fee agreement). Attorney fees must usually be paid by the client who hires a lawyer, though occasionally a law or contract will require the losing party of a lawsuit to pay the winner's court costs and attorney fees. For example, a contract might contain a provision that says the loser of any lawsuit between the parties to the contract will pay the winner's attorney fees. Many laws designed to protect consumers also provide for attorney fees -- for example, most state laws that require landlords to provide habitable housing also specify that a tenant who sues and wins using that law may collect attorney fees. And in family law cases -- divorce, custody and child support -- judges often have the power to order the more affluent spouse to pay the other spouse's attorney fees, even where there is no clear victor.

Living Ordinances
Please make an appointment with the temple before coming for living endowments, marriages, or sealings.
Family Name Cards
Ordinances for family names must be done in proper sequence. If you wish to complete an endowment for a family name, allow sufficient time to complete the initiatory ordinances before the endowment session. If you are going to do the baptism the same day, you will need to allow even more time.
Although family name cards are welcome at any time, many temples have reserved times for family names. Please call the temple for an appointment.
Learn how to prepare family names for the temple.
