TIRED OF ANTI MR BS HERE, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE, GO TO http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...6&highlight=mr IF YOU WANT TO POST THAT ****. Hello, I am writing this because I know that there are a ton of people who want another dedicated tank MR item back, all the ones we have right now can not be built on full tanks, or are mixed with useless stats, I am proposing to turn this thread into a petition to bring back an item for the full tanks out there who want MR without unused damage stats and useless secondary abilities, please post your support here, if you have already posted a thread please link it, and I will update the supported post count with all of the posters in your thread. Note that this is for full on top tanks (singed, malphite, sejuani, and galio, as well as shen, amumu, and voli to a lesser extent) Not support tanks (taric, leona, others) Here are some of the current MR items and why they do not work. Bulwark, supports buy this item, not tanks, buying it on a tank if you have a support is a waste of a slot which could be used for an item with team beneficial stats or additional MR should one be available. Banshees, most of this effect is in the spell shield, as a full tank you need more health, mana, and MR than this item can give you, it is for squishes with carry problems, not tanks. Visage, this item is best used on swain, ww, fiddle, and vlad, champions with little to no benefit from HP regen can not use this item effectively, ergo, most tanks. Maw, abyssal, and wits end have the same problem, they are for damage, this gives them inferior defense stats. Best possible stats on this item. MR (obviously) Move speed (engagements and interceptions are much easier and more fun when you can get to them in the first place) Secondary stats and ability ideas. Percentage based magic damage reduction. Flat magic damage reduction off of each spell. Delay damage taken (eg, instead of being bursted, some percent of damage would be absorbed and delt to the user as a DOT over 5-10 seconds, same damage just prevents the insta kill on being CCed) Damage dealt to attacker on hit (either on magic damage or independent on how much they do to you) Speed boost when taking damage Damage to enemies based on your max HP Feel free to post other ideas. Current Supporting Post Count: 9 to all those who are tired of building abyssal and maw on champions without scalings, HUZZA! we will not give up! P.S. Please find another post to voice anti MR concerns, you are not wanted here, message me on league and I can suggest a couple threads to post your hate.

Agreed Personally, I get visage. I think that it actually gives the most MR for a single item at 50MR. The CDR and Health is nice, and the cost is cheap. A must on Voli, Mao, and Shen, but even on tanks without any healing. A dedicated MR item really is needed though, with the removal of Force of Nature, which gave, I think 86MR. It also could have something like a Kassidan Passive and absorb a % of all magic damage.
76 mr was bad design, it was too much. Also, your tanks are usually your jungle or support, with bruisers going top lane. Bulwark is an excellent item on both of these roles. The buff stack on the people holding the items, and it basically doubles the range on the aura, assuming both arent standing right on top of each other. You have tops of viable alternatives, haxdrinker is cheap, so is visage if you dont. I'm assuming youre talking pure tanks here, because bruisers have a load of viable options including the two above, wits and abyssal for the ap. There are very few champions that fit the 'pure tank' role that wont benefit from these items. Maybe the pure health stacking tanks, but they build pure health anyway, and dont need a ton of MR, and shen, voli, can buy wits and/or visage, and sej, naut, mao and malph can buy abyssal and visage. Your argument is bigoted, you cant see the obvious alternative in front of you and you resist and ignore anyone that tries to open your eyes. Stop flooding the forums with this rubbish, so many people have given you answers and yet you ignore anyone who disagrees with you. you have 9 replies that agree with you, including your own posts. Out of 2 threads, the other which is 3 pages long. Maybe you should realise that there are a lot of people who know you are wrong, yet you insist on pushing your stupid opinion in their faces.

Bulwark. Bulwark is everything FoN was for magic defenses, and as a bonus some of that defensive power is tied into HP. Oh and it gives an aura. Oh and if somebody else gets bulwark you STILL get their aura. Did I mention it builds out of something you as the tank should be building anyway? If its not enough Spirit Visage is 2200 gold, and totals out to as much MR as you had with Aegis+FoN last season. And gives CDR. Still not enough? Buy warmog's. It's the ultimate anti-burst item, and if you're still dying with 110 bonus MR and 650 bonus HP (totaling 5.4k gold for the stats mind you) you're not dying to magic damage. You're dying to being bad. Warmog's tends to fix that. And if that's till not enough? Then you should be worrying about getting some offensive stats. Tanks who do nothing but soak damage are worthless to their team and just get ignored. I recommend Abyssal. RoA. Rylai. If you're Shen/Naut/Cho Wit's end is a good choice. Edit: Andf to further show how wrong you are this is stuff from Xypherous. You know Xyph right? Item balance guru? Game design guy? If you think you're better at understanding game balance than a guy whose job it is to sit there and reason out how to balance the game then maybe you should apply for riot. Removal of FoN: http://www.surrenderat20.net/2012/12...ures.html#more Health of AP (hint they think APs are worse than before, not better because of MR loss): http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/01...-and.html#more

Spirit Visage, Runic Bulwark, Banshee's Veil. Lots of MR available. Use it.

Health and Safety, Birth to 2 Years
Topic Overview
This topic suggests ways to help prevent illness and accidental injuries in babies and young children. It does not cover every risk that a child faces, but it does cover many of the most common hazards and situations that can be dangerous to a child in this age range.
Why should you be concerned about your baby's health and safety?
Watching your child grow is a wonder. But there are concerns in this age range:
- Your child cannot understand and recognize danger. You need to take steps to keep your child safe from everyday hazards both inside and outside the home.
- Your child's immune system is not fully developed. This makes it more likely that your child will get bacterial and viral infections and more likely that these infections will be dangerous.
What can you do to help keep your child safe?
You can:
- Supervise your child both inside and outside the house. For example, always use a car seat, and watch your child closely when he or she interacts with pets.
- Practice healthy habits to protect your child against illness and infection. For example, wash your hands often and keep toys clean, make sure your child is immunized, and go to all well-child visits.
- Take safety measures around the home. For example, use sliding gates in front of stairs, and keep rubber bands and other small objects out of reach. And always place your baby to sleep on his or her back.
No one can watch a child's every move or make a home 100% safe all the time. Try to find a balance among supervising your child, taking safety precautions, and allowing your child to explore.
What kinds of equipment can be hazardous?
Car seats, cribs, strollers, playpens, and high chairs are all often used by infants and toddlers up to age 2. If any of this equipment is worn or broken, or if you use it incorrectly, it can be dangerous.
If you purchase or are given used equipment, make sure it meets current safety standards and has not had any safety recalls. You can check recall information from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission online at www.cpsc.gov or by calling 1-800-638-2772.
How can your stress level affect your child's safety?
Taking care of yourself is a vital part of keeping your child safe. Most injuries to children occur when parents or caregivers are tired, hungry, or emotionally drained or are having relationship problems. Other common causes of family stress include changes in daily routines, moving to a new house, or expecting another child.
Learn all you can about child growth and development. Doing so can help you learn what to expect and how to handle certain situations.
If you feel stressed, get help. Talk to your doctor or your child's doctor, or see a counselor. Get together regularly with friends, or join a parenting group.
Call 911 right away if you feel you are about to hurt yourself or your child.

Healthy Habits for Preventing Infection and Illness
The immune systems of babies and young children up to 24 months of age are still developing. This makes them especially prone to getting sick after being exposed to viruses and bacteria. Exposure to common pathogens can occur from person-to-person contact and from improperly prepared food. Good hygiene practices can help you protect your child from exposure to these germs.
Safe food preparation
You can help protect your child from getting sick by paying attention to safe food practices.
- Prepare food safely. Help reduce the chance that your child will become ill from food poisoning by washing your hands, keeping kitchen areas clean, and preparing foods properly.
- Shop safely. Raw meats, seafood, and eggs can contaminate other foods they touch. Keep these items wrapped in plastic and away from fresh foods in your shopping cart. Look closely at all items, and don't buy those that have signs of spoilage or damage.
- Cook foods safely. Meats and foods that have been in contact with raw meat need to be cooked thoroughly to prevent the growth of bacteria. The specific temperature varies by type of food.
- Store foods safely. Keep food temperatures at safe levels to prevent bacterial growth that can cause illness. Also take special care when storing breast milk or formula for bottle-feedings. Bacteria grow quickly in warm breast milk or formula that is left at room temperature. After bottle-feeding your baby, immediately discard the milk or formula that is left in the bottle. Promptly refrigerate fresh breast milk or formula if it is not needed right away. Also, clean and disinfect all bottles before each use.
- Follow labels on food packaging. Look for expiration dates on perishable foods before you buy or eat them. Also, follow any cooking guidelines provided, such as temperature and cooking time.
- Make sure that the restaurants where you eat handle food safely.
For more information, see the topic Food Poisoning and Safe Food Handling.
Protect against the spread of illness and germs
Germs spread easily from person to person. Cold and flu viruses usually affect the most people during the colder months, although they can develop at any time of the year. Babies and young children have a higher risk of developing secondary bacterial infections from these illnesses. Take extra care to help protect your child against infections.
- Get your child immunized. Immunizations, also called vaccinations, help protect your child from diseases. Immunizations start at birth and are scheduled throughout adolescence. For more information, see the topic Immunizations.
- Be aware of the higher risk of germs in public areas. Avoid exposing your child to a large crowd if he or she has been ill recently or has an otherwise weakened immune system, especially when a contagious illness is going around. Also, it may help to have disposable wipes and a hand sanitizer available to clean hands and to wipe off shopping carts or other shared items in public places.
- Avoid close contact with others who are obviously sick. Also, if your child is ill, avoid contact with other children until the contagious period is over. Talk to your doctor if you are not sure about how long your child is likely to be contagious.
- Wash hands frequently, including after every diaper change. Keeping your hands clean is an obvious, but often overlooked, way to prevent the spread of germs. Also wash your baby's hands after he or she has a bowel movement, because a baby can touch his or her messy bottom without your being aware of it.
- Wash and disinfect surfaces and toys. Areas where germs collect, such as the kitchen and bathroom, also should be kept clean and frequently disinfected.
- Teach good hygiene habits early, especially if your child is frequently around many children, such as at day care. For example, teach your child to cover his or her mouth when coughing or sneezing, preferably using a tissue so germs do not get on the hands. Also show your child how to wipe his or her nose with tissues. Babies and young children may not understand your instructions, but repetition will help them remember these concepts as they grow.
Visit the doctor regularly
Go to all well-child visits, during which the doctor gives your child a physical exam. The doctor will ask you about your child's development and whether you have any concerns.
Immunizations are also given at well-child visits. Immunizations provide important protection for your child against harmful diseases. The standard immunization schedule outlines the recommended vaccinations and the ages at which they should be given.
Safety Measures Around the Home
From birth to age 2, children depend on parents and caregivers for their safety. Safety issues change and increase rapidly in number as newborns grow into toddlers. It is important to consider your child's physical and mental development when evaluating current and future hazards.
Although close supervision is important, it is not realistic to think that you can watch your child's every move. Also, constantly hovering over your child can limit his or her experiences and confidence. Balancing supervision with safety precautions will not only help prevent accidents and injuries but also allow your child to explore and discover.
Taking the time to research and adopt safe habits can help to prevent common accidents and injuries that can occur around the house.
Use safe baby products
In the United States, safety standards for children's equipment, furniture, clothing, and other items are set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Although most new items you purchase will likely meet these standards, older and used items may not. Equipment that has been used before, such as a baby carrier, may not be safe. These items may have wear and tear that affects how they function. The CPSC may also have recalled some items because of reported hazards.
Check that all the products your baby uses meet current standards. The following list provides safety information for items frequently used by children up to age 2:
- Cribs should meet all current safety standards, such as having less than 2.4 in. (6.1 cm) of space between slats. Lower the mattress and remove mobiles, large stuffed toys, and bumpers from the crib as your baby grows.
- Baby walkers should not be used, according to recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). If you decide to allow your child to use a walker, the AAP recommends using only those labeled "ASTM F977-96," which ensures that they meet international safety standards.1
- Playpens should have spaces in the mesh material that do not exceed 0.25 in. (0.64 cm) across. Wooden slats should measure less than 2.4 in. (6.1 cm) apart.1 Be careful about the toys you put in the playpen. As your children grow, they can get tangled in mobiles or may use larger toys as steps to boost them out of the enclosure.
- High chairs should have a wide, stable base. Do not use booster seats that attach to the table. Always take time to make sure the high chair is locked in the upright position before use. Use the safety straps, and supervise your child at all times while he or she is in the high chair.
- Changing tables should have a railing on all sides that is 2 in. (5.1 cm) high. A slightly indented changing surface is also recommended. Always use the safety strap and keep one hand on your child. Have diapers and other items handy, but keep them out of your child's reach.
To help you keep track of important safety features, use the nursery equipment safety checklist(What is a PDF document?) .
For more information about equipment standards from the CPSC, see the Other Places to Get Help section of this topic.
Safe sleeping and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
Sudden infant death syndrome is one of the most common causes of death for babies 1 month to 12 months old. Most babies who die of SIDS are 2 to 4 months old. Although SIDS cannot be predicted or completely prevented, placing your baby to sleep on his or her back can help prevent this tragedy. For more information, see the topic Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Preventing falls
You can prevent many falling accidents by using common sense and appropriate equipment that meets all safety standards. Recognize new hazards that your baby will encounter as he or she learns to scoot, crawl, and walk.
- As soon as your baby can walk, lock doors to all dangerous areas.
- Use sliding gates at both ends of stairs. Look for a gate with openings no bigger than 2.4 in. (6.1 cm). Do not use accordion-style gates, because a child's head could get caught.
- Install window guards. Or use a window stop so that sliding windows won't open more than 4 in. (10 cm).
- Don't allow children to climb on high furniture.
- Do not use baby walkers.
- Be careful when using equipment such as high chairs and changing tables. Always use the safety straps, and keep a close eye on your child.
Help prevent your child from choking by offering the right kinds of foods and keeping an eye out for choking hazards.
- Learn to recognize the signs of choking so you can react quickly. For example, a child who is choking can't talk, cry, breathe, or cough. For more information, see the topic Choking Rescue Procedure (Heimlich Maneuver).
- Know how to select and prepare foods. For example, choose soft foods that can be cut up into small pieces, such as cooked carrots. Avoid round, firm foods such as hot dogs, grapes, nuts, and raisins.
- Establish certain areas for eating, such as the kitchen table or dining room. Teach your child to sit down while he or she is eating and to chew carefully. Don't force a child to eat when he or she is not hungry. These practices will also help your child to develop lifelong healthy eating habits.
- Be aware that young children can choke on small objects. In general, objects smaller than 1.3 in. (3.3 cm) in diameter and 2.3 in. (5.8 cm) long are choking hazards. Examples include coins, buttons, and bottle caps. Keep these items out of your child's reach.
- Do not allow your child to eat while he or she is walking, running, playing, or riding in a car.
- Never leave rubber bands or deflated balloons around the house where children can reach them.
- Do not allow young children to chew gum or eat hard candy.
Strangulation and suffocation
A young child can strangle from a variety of household items. Protect your child by minimizing these hazards:1
- Keep cords for blinds and drapes out of your child's reach. Attach cords to mounts that hold them taut, and wrap them around wall brackets.
- Cords with loops should be cut and given safety tassels instead.
- Never use accordion-style gates. A baby or young child may trap his or her head in the gate and may strangle.
- Make sure that furniture does not have cutout portions or other areas that can trap your child's head.
Suffocation is another danger for young children. Teach your child about suffocation and the importance of a safe play area. Pay attention to possible suffocation dangers, such as:
- Trunks of cars. Keep rear fold-down seats closed so children are not able to climb into the trunk from inside the car. Also, always lock car doors, and keep the keys out of your child's sight and reach.
- Refrigerators and freezers, even those that are not in use. If you are storing an old refrigerator or freezer, remove the door.
- Plastic sacks. Do not let your child play with plastic sacks, and keep them out of his or her reach. Many children like to play with sacks and put them over their heads.
To prevent poisoning, identify household cleaners and other chemicals, plants, medicines, makeup, perfumes, and any other products that can harm a child who eats or inhales them. It is critical to properly store these items out of reach of young children. If you have a possible poisoning emergency, call 1-800-222-1222 and you will be automatically transferred to the poison control center closest to you. For more information, see the topic Poisoning.
Lead poisoning is another cause for concern in young children who may chew on contaminated paint flakes, painted objects, or toys. House paint is no longer made with lead, but older homes may still have it on walls and other surfaces. Have your home tested if you are unsure whether lead paint was used. In 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found high lead content in many children's toys and jewelry made in other countries. For a complete list of recalled products, see the CPSC Web site at www.cpsc.gov. Also see the topic Lead Poisoning for more information.
Prevent carbon monoxide poisoning by frequently monitoring levels of carbon monoxide in your home and taking precautionary measures, such as having your home's heater checked each year. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas produced from burning fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, fuel oil, or wood (for example, in indoor heating systems, car engines, cooking appliances, or fires). High carbon monoxide levels quickly affect young children because of their small size. For more information, see the topic Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
Fire hazards
Prevent household fires by keeping and maintaining smoke detectors and planning and practicing escape routes.
Burns are caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. Protect your child from burn injuries by identifying dangers in your home and taking measures to remove or block your child's access to them.
- Heat burns can be prevented by keeping your child away from fire, steam, hot water, and other hot liquids and objects. Do not heat bottled formula or breast milk in the microwave, because hot spots in the liquid can burn a baby's mouth and throat. Consider buying flame-resistant pajamas for your child.
- Electrical burns can be prevented by keeping electrical cords out of your child's reach and using safety covers on all electrical outlets. During electrical storms, keep your child indoors and away from windows.
- Chemical burns can be prevented by keeping all chemicals out of children's reach. Acid, such as from batteries, and alkaline products, such as drain cleaners, are especially dangerous.
- Sunburns (radiation burns) can permanently damage a child's skin. Children younger than 6 months should stay out of the sun entirely. Keep young children out of the sun, or have them use sun-protection measures while they are outdoors.
- Friction burns are usually minor injuries. Rough play or falls may cause these burns in babies or young children.
- Enjoy fireworks from a distance. About 1 out of 3 people injured by summer fireworks is a child younger than age 15.2 Children can also get burns from using and being around firecrackers and sparklers. Sparklers are the cause of injury in about 1 out of 3 children under 5 years of age who are injured by fireworks.2
Guns and other weapons
Gun and firearm safety measures should be established for all households and especially those where children live or visit. All guns and firearms should be kept in a locked area, unloaded, and out of reach of children. Also store knives (even kitchen knives), swords, and other weapons safely out of reach.
Pets are found in many households. Children who live in homes without pets are likely to encounter animals in other environments. Many injuries can be avoided by teaching children how to properly interact with pets. Also, pet owners who train and keep their animals healthy are less likely to have problems when children are around.
- Teach your child how to interact with pets. Explain that animals can hurt you when they are scared, hurt, eating, or protecting their babies. Teach your child to speak quietly and move slowly around animals and to watch for animal body language that can help your child know when to stay away.
- Train and prepare your pet to behave around children. A well-trained and obedient pet is less likely to harm a child.
Drowning is a leading cause of injury death in young children. Never leave your child alone near water. Also, follow drowning prevention recommendations from the National Safety Council, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Supervise all baths at all times. Always stay within an arm's reach of your child, and never leave your child alone in the tub—even with an older sibling.
- Control access to water in your home. Keep large bodies of water, such as a pond or a pool, fenced. Empty all buckets and coolers when they are not in use. Keep toilet lids down. And don't let your toddler go into the bathroom without an adult.
- Keep pool areas safe. When visiting public or private pools, keep your child within arm's reach. If you have your own pool, make sure to follow all your local safety codes. These usually are available from your city's planning department.
- Keep children away from irrigation canals. Do not let your child play in or near irrigation canals.
In addition to these precautions, learn first aid and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). It can make the difference between life and death.
Safety Measures Outside the Home
You cannot protect your child from every danger he or she can possibly encounter outside the home. But you can take reasonable precautions and teach your child basic safety rules. This general training can help prepare your child for many situations he or she may face.
Prevent accidents by using safe equipment, teaching safety awareness, and closely supervising your child.
- Always use a car seat. Car accidents are the leading cause of death and injury in young children.3 Many injuries and deaths can be avoided by using proper child restraints. For every ride in an automobile, make sure your child is securely strapped into a properly installed car seat that meets all current safety standards. Because state regulations vary and may not include important factors to keep your child as safe as possible, make sure to follow basic guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Until your baby is at least 1 year of age and weighs at least 20 lb (9.1 kg), use an infant car seat that reclines and faces the rear. After that, use a forward-facing seat until your child is about 4 years old and weighs about 40 lb (18.1 kg). Some infant seats can be converted into toddler seats.
- Never leave your child alone in a car. Heat inside a car could cause long-lasting injury or death in just minutes. A young child's body temperature can go up 3 to 5 times faster than that of an adult. Keeping the car windows down will not protect your child in hot or warm weather. Other injuries could also occur from a child getting stuck in the trunk or setting the car in motion.
- Help your child become "street smart." Teach your child the basic rules about the dangers of cars and streets.
- Teach proper behavior around animals. Teach your child how to interact with different types of pets and other animals that he or she may come across while outside your home.
- Begin teaching your young child swimming safety. Knowing proper behavior while in and around water can help prevent a drowning accident. If you have a swimming pool at home, take safety measures around the pool. If you live near irrigation canals, teach your child not to play in or near them.
- Keep your child safe in strollers and carts. Keep your child restrained, and watch him or her closely.
- Use insect repellents to prevent bites and stings. Also, take action to lower your child's chances of being stung by an insect by having your child wear socks, closed shoes, and clothes that fully cover his or her body when outdoors.
Before your child visits an unfamiliar home, ask the homeowner whether you need to be aware of any dangerous areas, pets, or other safety issues. Also, it is always a good idea to see the household for yourself. Don't be afraid to voice any concerns you have about safety. You are ultimately responsible for protecting your child.
Before enrolling your child in day care, evaluate the environment and talk with care providers. Ask questions about their safety guidelines. Identify any hazards, and ask how they are handled. Inspect the food preparation area, and ask how often it is cleaned and what kinds of cleaning products are used. For more information, see the topic Choosing Child Care.
Going along for the ride
When you include your child in your activities, be sure to recognize the related safety issues. And focus on your child's comfort and safety.
- Keep your child safe in strollers and carts. Use the safety straps, and follow the printed instructions. For example, signs on shopping carts usually advise you not to put a child in the area that is reserved for shopping items.
- Never leave your child alone in a car. Factors such as heat inside a car and leaving car keys within a child's reach could cause long-lasting injury or death in just minutes.
- Prevent sunburns by taking extra care, such as applying sunscreen and putting on a hat before going outdoors. In addition, be careful that your child does not develop heat exhaustion from being out in warm temperatures. Small bodies can develop these problems much more quickly than adults. Do not keep your child out in warm weather for long periods, and keep water or other drinks on hand. For more information, see the topics Sunburn and Heat-Related Illnesses.
- Monitor air pollution when planning to take your child outdoors. Children's lungs are especially sensitive to pollution. You can check your newspaper or local weather station for details about air pollution levels.
- Watch for physical signs that show it's safe to gradually include your child in your activities. When children can run or climb, it's usually a good sign that they are getting stronger and can keep their balance. Before and after these signs appear, use good judgment for your baby's comfort and safety.
Parent Self-Care
Gaining confidence
Many parents wonder whether they are equipped to handle the responsibility of keeping their child safe. You will likely feel more confident if you are alert, take all the precautions you can, and know how to respond to emergencies.
- Learn first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Classes usually are offered through your local hospital or fire department.
- Read and learn about child growth and development. Knowing what to expect can help ease the fear of the unknown.
- Join a support group. Parenting groups can help you learn new skills as well as help ease emotional issues of having a new child. Groups differ in their focus. Some target specific concerns, such as breast-feeding, while others offer parents a chance to get together with their children for playtime and visiting. Contact a local hospital or religious group, or ask your doctor for resources in your area.
Connection between parental well-being and child safety
Taking care of yourself is a vital part of keeping your child safe. Although accidents can occur at any time, most happen during times of excess stress, such as when:1
- Parents and children are hungry and tired, especially right after work and before dinner.
- Another baby is expected.
- There is an illness or death in the family.
- Marital problems develop.
- Major changes in your routine or environment occur. This can happen when your child's caregiver changes, when you move to a new house, or even before you go on a vacation.
Recognize the signs of stress and what situations cause it. Be extra careful during these times, and ask for help when you need it. Also, work on taking care of your personal relationships.
For more information, see the topic Stress Management.
Seeking help
All parents have times when they feel exhausted, frustrated, angry, sad, or overwhelmed. Recognize that this is a normal part of being human and being a parent. But if these feelings become too much for you to handle alone, keep your child safe by getting help. For example, when your emotions are too much for you to handle alone, you may not have the energy or desire to watch your child as closely as you should. Some parents injure their children when their emotions cause them to shake, hit, or push a child. This can result in injury to the child such as shaken baby syndrome, which can cause permanent brain damage or even death.
Call 911 immediately if you feel you are about to injure yourself or your child.
Places to go for help include:
- A family medicine physician.
- A pediatrician.
- A physician assistant or nurse practitioner.
- A licensed mental health counselor.
- Your local hospital.
- Parenting groups (see the Other Places to Get Help section of this topic).

Defoe to partner Rooney in attack for England; Walcott set for start
England manager Fabio Capello has revealed Jermain Defoe will play alongside Wayne Rooney in tonight's Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria at Wembley.
The Italian also confirmed Steven Gerrard will be deployed in central midfield, ahead of James Milner and Gareth Barry in deeper roles.
Milner and Barry will be asked to shield the back four, which looks likely to consist of Phil Jagielka and Matthew Upson in the middle, with Glen Johnson and Ashley Cole on the flanks.

Strange on Arteta / Will Tidey on
England v Bulgaria / Follow
it LIVE from 8pm / Bulgaria
With Joe Hart confirmed as England's number one, the only position up for grabs looks to be a wide berth on the right - with Theo Walcott the favourite to be given the nod.
Walcott has started the season superbly with Arsenal, scoring four times in his last two games, and should have no lack of motivation after being left out of Capello's World Cup squad.
Adam Johnson is also in contention, but the Manchester City winger is a naturally left-sided player and may have to make do with a place on the bench.

@Logicfest -- Some console manufacturers have realized the potential for mobile games and have harnessed it. You can get a console that doesn't cost much, utilizes that big television screen and has controllers that feel great.
Oh, and a lot of those run mobile games. That's kind of the missing link between what consoles offer and what mobile platforms offer, huh? Of course, those will not replace consoles. They are just gaming consoles that are made in line with a somewhat unconventional philosophy.

Missing Malaysia plane: Malaysia requests countries' help
Some 25 countries are now involved in a vast search operation for the missing airliner that disappeared over a week ago, Malaysian officials say.
The search area - from central Asia to the southern Indian Ocean - takes in large tracts of land and sea.
An already complex search operation has become even more difficult, Malaysia's acting transport minister says.
Crew, passengers and ground staff are being investigated after it was confirmed the jet was commandeered.
A former 777 pilot has told me how easy it is to switch off most of the systems that track an aircraft. Most pilots would know how to do it - though traditional radar would still pick up the presence of a plane.
Firstly, most systems, like the transponder, the radio, the ACARS etc, have what is effectively an "off" switch.
Secondly, every electrical system also has a circuit-breaker, a bit like the fuse box in your house. The pilot has a panel of hundreds of buttons above his or her head; if they pull the right one, then the system switches off. The breakers are essential to isolate electrical systems if they overheat or catch fire.
But if you switch anything off, an orange warning light appears on a screen in front of the crew. So it is highly unlikely one could do it without the other noticing.
And the pilot may still not know about every system the aircraft has that talks to satellites - which could explain how this aircraft was sending out pings despite everything else being switched off.
The idea of hacking into an aircraft's systems has also been mooted, but I am told this is far less likely on an aeroplane such as this and also that the manufacturers have put in a lot of work to stop this happening.
One final thing: if this aircraft flew low over land, and people on board knew there was a problem, why did no-one try to make a phone call?
Investigators are trying to obtain more radar and satellite data from any of the countries that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have passed over, with its 239 crew and passengers.
The leaders of several Asian countries have been briefed by the Malaysia government in what acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has described as a new phase of the search.
"From focusing mainly on shallow seas, we are now looking at large tracts of land, crossing 11 countries, as well as deep and remote oceans," he said at a news conference.
Malaysian officials are contacting countries including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, China, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and France.
They are also asking countries to provide assistance in the search for the plane, including satellite data and analysis, ground-search capabilities, and maritime and air assets.
After checking their radar recordings, Pakistani civil aviation officials said they had found no sign of the missing jet.
Malaysian national police chief Gen Khalid Abu Bakar said background checks had been requested on all passengers aboard the plane, but that so far nothing suspicious had been reported - though some intelligence agencies still had to respond.
The police are also reportedly looking at the family life and psychological state of the plane's pilot, Zaharie Shah, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, and searched their homes on Saturday.
The two men had not asked to fly together, Mr Hishammuddin confirmed at the news conference.
Officers spoke to relatives of the pilot and experts are examining the pilot's personal flight simulator. Police have visited his house for a second day.
The passengers
- 153 Chinese including a delegation of artists
- 38 Malaysians including an official who was due to start a job at a branch office in Beijing
- Two Iranians using false passports in a bid to seek asylum in Europe
- Three Americans including an IBM executive who had recently relocated to Kuala Lumpur
- Two Canadians returning to Beijing after a business trip
- Seven Indonesians, six Australians, five Indians and four French
- Two each from New Zealand and Ukraine; one each from Russia, Taiwan and Netherlands
Those who know Mr Zaharie, 53, insist he is a normal family man, reports the BBC's Jonah Fisher in Kuala Lumpur.
With 18,000 hours of flying experience, he is a self-confessed "aviation geek" and proudly posted pictures online of the flight simulator he built at home.
As well as the crew and passengers, police are investigating the engineers and other ground staff who may have had contact with the aircraft before take-off.
It has also emerged that a team from British telecommunications company Inmarsat arrived on Saturday in Malaysia.
An Inmarsat satellite is said have continued receiving signals from flight MH370 at least five hours after the plane was reported lost.
A team of French investigators is to travel to Malaysia on Monday to help with the search, the French transport ministry has said in a statement. They will join members of the US National Transportation Safety Board already in Malaysia.
Communications sabotagedMalaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Saturday that the plane's communication systems had been deliberately cut before it was diverted from its route.
According to satellite evidence, the Boeing 777 could have continued flying for a further seven hours after its last radar contact, he said.
The flight left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing at 00:40 local time (16:40 GMT) on 8 March and disappeared off air traffic controllers' screens at about 01:20.
An extensive search - involving 43 ships and 58 aircraft - since the plane disappeared has proved fruitless.

Girls Basketball: Hinsdale South's Toni Romiti learns to fly
Megan Geldernick (right) of Metea Valley slams on the brakes while guarded tightly by Toni Romiti (21) of Hinsdale South. | Jon Cunningham~For Sun-Times MediaToni Romiti isn't nervous about playing in Las Vegas this week. The senior guard from Hinsdale South was nervous about getting to Las Vegas.
Romiti took her first plane flight early Sunday morning as her new AAU team, River Forest-based Chicago Hoops Express, departed Midway for a Southwest Airlines flight to the Blue Star Nationals.
The U.S. Junior Nationals-sponsored tournament started Monday and ends Wednesday at Las Vegas-area high schools. It's the only major trip of the AAU season for Romiti, who has traveled by car previously in her life. Hoops Express will play in the Nike Midwest Showcase July 21-23 in Indianapolis, but the team will travel by car.
"I'll try to fall asleep," Romiti said about her first flight.
Romiti's longest road trip was to Texas years ago. Many of her previous trips have been limited to the Midwest.
Romiti's first tournament appearance with Hoops Express was Friday in the one-day Adidas Jamboree at Hidden Cove Sportsplex in Bourbonnais. Romiti did not play with her usual AAU tournament team.
The Jamboree featured random teams from Hoops Express playing three games in a single day. Among college recruiters in attendance was DePaul women's coach Doug Bruno and assistant coaches from schools such as Michigan State, Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Marquette, along with dozens of representatives from Division III schools and junior colleges.
Hinsdale South lost four starters to graduation last season, leaving Romiti as the only returnee.
"It's weird. We could have a hard season," Romiti said about the Hornets. "We could use a few of those seniors back."
Since she would like to play in college, the elite AAU circuit is new to Romiti, who didn't even play last summer. She is coming off her first season with Hinsdale South's badminton team in the spring.
Romiti last played AAU basketball two years ago for the Lady Dribblers.
She tried out and made Hoops Express' I team, which features three players from Trinity (Mikayla Leyden, Shannon McGinnis and Lauren Prochaska) and two players from outside the Chicago area: Harlem's Serina Cortinez and Aaliyah Covington from Downstate Edwardsville.
Romiti heard about the team from the father of former teammate Andrea McNally. In March, Romiti called Hoops Express director Jerald Davis for information on tryouts.
"That was the first team on my list," Romiti said. "When I called Jerald, I didn't know what to say."
Romiti said Davis had never heard of her, but helped her with information on the club. Romiti is the only player from a West Suburban Gold school with Hoops Express this AAU season.
"It's fun. This will be a hard week, but I'm excited," Romiti said. "There are a lot of girls from different teams and schools, but I'm getting to know them better."
After returning from Las Vegas, Romiti and Hoops Express will play Saturday and Sunday in the Midwest Summer Challenge at Bartlett Community Center.

VA Center investigates "dissolving" heart device designed to open heart vessel blockages
Norfolk, Virginia (May 13, 2013) –Sentara Cardiovascular Research Institute is now enrolling heart patients in a randomized multi-center clinical research trial to study an investigational "dissolving" device to treat blockages in the vessels serving the heart. The narrowing of vessels in the heart due to a buildup of plaque is known as coronary artery disease and is the leading cause of death in men and women in the U.S.
The study device, Absorb ™ is made by healthcare company Abbott and is designed to open blocked heart vessels and restore blood flow to the heart. Instead of permanent metallic stents used for decades, Absorb dissolves into the blood vessel over time. Absorb is made of a naturally dissolvable material commonly used in dissolving sutures. After Absorb dissolves, only two tiny pairs of markers remain in the artery and enable a physician to see where the device was placed.
"This innovative new device represents the next generation technology for the treatment of coronary artery disease. We're excited to be part of research that could provide our patients with new treatment options in the future," says Paul Mahoney, M.D., principal investigator for this study at Sentara.
Cardiologists practicing at Sentara Heart Hospital have opened the ABSORB III study to patients to test the safety and effectiveness of this new device compared with current standard treatment of medicated metallic heart stents called drug eluting stents.
Sentara plans to enroll up to 200 patients in the study who have coronary artery disease. They will be randomized to either receive the study device or have the standard treatment called a drug eluting stent.
Approximately 2,250 patients, mostly in the U.S., will be enrolled in the study. The results of the two groups will be compared.
About Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary artery disease is the narrowing of one or more arteries that supply blood to the heart. Symptoms of coronary artery disease include chest pain and shortness of breath when the demand for blood to the heart is more than the ability to supply it.
Each year, about 785,000 Americans have a first heart attack. Another 470,000 who have already experienced one or more heart attacks will have another. Heart disease accounts for one of every six deaths that take place in the U.S. 1
About Sentara Cardiovascular Research InstituteSentara Cardiovascular Research Institute is part of Sentara Healthcare, one of the nation's leading not-for-profit health systems and an acknowledged leader in patient safety and quality innovation. The Sentara Cardiovascular Research Institute grew out of a long history of providing exceptional heart care at Sentara. Established in 2005, Sentara Cardiovascular and Research Institute is now among the top cardiac research programs in the country, with about 70 ongoing studies per year.
About ABSORB IIIThe ABSORB III is a randomized pivotal trial sponsored by global healthcare company Abbott. The study, testing the safety and efficacy of a drug eluting, bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), will enroll approximately 2,250 patients with the majority being in the United States. Participants are at least 18 years old and have some blockages to vessels serving the heart. For more information about the study and eligibility, visit www.clinicaltrials.gov. The study identifier is NCT00856856.

New Mexico 55
(13-1, 3-0 away)
(8) Cincinnati 54
(12-1, 8-1 home)
Coverage: ESPN2/WatchESPN
9:00 PM ET, December 27, 2012
Fifth Third Arena, Cincinnati, Ohio
CINCINNATI -- Sean Kilpatrick had two options: Take the quick shot if it's there, drive to the basket if it's not. He caught the pass and thought he had just enough room to get the shot off.
He never saw Alex Kirk's hand coming.Kirk scored 15 points and blocked Kilpatrick's shot just before the buzzer Thursday night, preserving New Mexico's 55-54 win that handed No. 8 Cincinnati its first loss.New Mexico (13-1) rallied in the second half behind its 7-foot center, who hit a 3-pointer, got a team-high seven rebounds and slapped away Kilpatrick's jumper in the final seconds. Kilpatrick passed it in from the baseline to center Cheikh Mbodj with 4.5 seconds left, then got the ball right back with the two options."I thought I had him," Kilpatrick said. "I could have drove, but I didn't."Kirk figured that Cincinnati's top scorer was going to let it fly and managed to get there just as the ball left his hands."I knew if I went out, it would be pretty difficult for him to get a shot over me and Tony Snell," Kirk said. "I went out with my hands up and he was forced to take a tough shot. Luckily, I got my hand on it."That's how Cincinnati's perfect record went away.Cincinnati (12-1) moved up to No. 8 this week -- its highest ranking in nine years -- and was trying to go 13-0 for only sixth time in school history. The Bearcats couldn't salvage a tight game against a team known for knocking off top teams.The Lobos have won six of their last seven games against ranked teams, leaving them 14-6 against the Top 25 during coach Steve Alford's six seasons. They beat Connecticut earlier this season.Cincinnati's loss left Duke, Michigan, Arizona and Wyoming as the only unbeaten teams in Division I.The Bearcats missed 21 shots inside the paint and shot 31.3 percent from the field. Kilpatrick had a team-high 15 points, but was only 5 of 22 from the field."Things have been too easy for us," Bearcats coach Mick Cronin said. "We were going to get taught a lesson sooner or later. It manifests itself in many ways. Our inside finishing is beyond soft. You hold a team to 55 points, you should be able to win the game."Kirk scored nine points in the second half and led a surge that gave the Lobos their first lead. Then, he saved it with his third block of the game.The Lobos were coming off a 70-65 home loss to South Dakota State that ended their four-week stay in the Top 25. Alford liked how they responded."To come in here and hold them to 54 points, that's pretty pleasing for a basketball coach," Alford said. "Our kids are tough and play hard and fight. We're sitting here 13-1 and it's not because we're lighting things up. We came on the road and shot 38 percent and won."So it's been our defense, it's been our fight, and I think we had it tonight. If you play Cincinnati, you'd better come with that."New Mexico has gotten off to its strong start by drawing fouls and making free throws. The Lobos get 29.6 percent of their points from the line -- most in the nation -- and average 21.5 points per game on free throws. They have made more free throws (281) than their opponents have attempted (211).They made only 6 of 11 against the Bearcats, but it was enough to pull out a game that was close throughout. Neither team led by more than six points. There were six ties and seven lead changes.Cincinnati led 26-22 after a ragged first half. The Bearcats struggled to hit shots at the outset, a problem in their recent games. They made only four of their first 15 shots, all from behind the arc -- two apiece by Kilpatrick and Cashmere Wright.The Bearcats missed 11 consecutive shots and went nearly 6 minutes without scoring in the first half, but never trailed because their defense was so good again. They hold opponents to 34.6 percent from the field -- second in Division I -- and are sixth with 7.4 blocked shots per game.Cincinnati's three-guard offense took a hit when Wright picked up his third foul at the 18:23 mark of the second half.Kirk had a three-point play off a rebound, made one of two free throws, then made a layup for a 34-32 lead, New Mexico's first of the game. Kirk later hit a 3-pointer -- his fourth of the season -- and another 3 by Williams made it 43-37 midway through the half, turning it into a back-and-forth game.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

The title is greek and means "Make visible", which later the english word Fantasy has come from. I think that since this features a child, in a dream-like world, fantasy would be the right name for it. I think I used over 10 hours for this one, actually.. though some of the time I worked very slowly, I imagine. I did a fine to rough look on this one.. the left upper corner and girl starts with really fine lines and textures, and then as you move toward the lower right, it gets more rough. I though it would be a nice experiment.

Different Types of Facial Moisturizers
You can find a wide array of facial moisturizers available for your use at Walgreens, depending on your age and skin type. Moisturizers may specialize in delicate skin, mature or aging skin, oily skin, or simply normal skin. The ingredients list may vary to allow for each skin type's individual needs, but the skin type also inspires the actual workings of the skin creams. For example, dry skin will require an emollient moisturizer that stays on longer to help the skin recover from its dry state. Petrolatum-based ingredients often show positive results on extremely dry skin.
Meanwhile, a light, water-based skin care product could be the best choice for oily skin, which still needs hydration despite the skin's natural oils. Ideal oily skin moisturizers will be non-comedogenic to avoid clogging your pores. Soothing ingredients like aloe or a natural formulation free from dyes and fragrances could benefit delicate and sensitive skin. Aging skin may benefit most from products containing antioxidants or alpha hydroxy acids to help fight against wrinkles. As people age, the skin slows down its natural oil production, so extra moisture becomes even more important.
Walgreens offers a wide selection of moisturizer products for all skin types and special needs. Moisturizing lotions, night creams, serums, day creams, and anti-wrinkle creams are just a few options. There are also specialized products for the delicate eye area. Some products also help with special issues like skin discoloration, extreme dryness, lightening, and fading, to name a few.
Applying a moisturizing cream to your face helps to treat and prevent dry skin with noticeable results right away in many cases. Skin that looks dry and flaky instantly perks up following application of a good quality facial moisturizer. Sensitive skin also benefits from use of moisturizing products, and numerous creams exist specifically for delicate, sensitive skin.
A good moisturizer also improves your skin's tone and texture, especially over continued use. Using a facial moisturizer regularly from an earlier age can also help to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Studies suggest that the skin is at risk of UV damage with just 15 minutes of exposure, even with cloudy skies or cool weather. Research also supports that continued use of sunscreen on the skin can help to reduce the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers. This reason alone should be enough to inspire regular use of moisturizers with sunscreen ingredients. BACK TO TOP ›

It seems as if Layne Norton's PHAT (Power Hypertrophy Adaptive Training) has blown up in popularity over the past couple of years. With so many people seeing such great results, there is no real question on why it has become such a popular program – especially driven by the fact that a respectable natural pro bodybuilder, Layne Norton, was the one that designed the program himself.
Starting out, the program may seem to be a bit too high in volume for a lot of people; however, your body can really adjust to whatever is thrown at it over time. Sure, you may end up being sore or feel fatigued after the first week, but you should be able to get used to that after 2-3 weeks of training on this program. This is how it is setup:
- Day 1: Upper Power
- Day 2: Lower Power
- Day 3: Rest
- Day 4: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy
- Day 5: Lower Body Hypertrophy
- Day 6: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy
- Day 7: Rest
As you can see, you will be training 5 days per week on this program. This may seem like a lot with only receiving two days per rest; however, like mentioned above, your body can get adjusted to almost anything that you throw at it over time, so that may not end up being a real problem once you get used to it.
During the first two days of the week, you will be performing an "upper power" and a "lower power" day. These are pretty self-explanatory; you will be performing "power" movements with the upper and lower body in the strength rep range (3-5 reps). These two days are mainly designed to increase your strength in the gym, so you are also getting a mix of power lifting with this routine.
Upper Body Power Day Example
Lower Body Power Day Example
On these two days, you can swap out any of these exercises for ones of your choice. It is highly recommended that you keep the main "power" movements the same with the bench press, rows, shoulder press, and squats. The extra accessory movements can be swapped out depending on which exercises you prefer.
The last three days of the week, after the required off day, will all be hypertrophy days. These will be your typical "bodybuilding" training days where you aim for higher reps in order to achieve hypertrophy. This is where you will see most of your growth come from. Now, most would think that since these are the days you will get the most out of growth from, then why would you not stick with only these days and leave out your "power" days? Well, with the power days, you are able to increase the amount of strength you are capable of pushing or pulling. With that increased strength, you will also be able to lift more weight in the hypertrophy ranges as well.
Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy Day Example
Chest and Arms Hypertrophy Day Example
Lower Body Hypertrophy Day Example
Like the upper and lower "power" days, these exercises can also be changed out to doing what your body's biomechanics work best with. In other words, if a certain exercise puts strain on your body or you don't feel like you perform them very well, then you can switch in another exercise instead.
After your three hypertrophy days, then you will get another day of rest before going back to doing "upper power" again. Like mentioned earlier in this article, it is highly likely that you may feel extremely sore after the first week and your recovery time may be down some, but your body can adapt to that over time. If you ever feel like you ran into a brick wall and need a break, then you can take off 4-5 days off in a row and be fine. Some people would recommend having a full week off or incorporating a deload week where you go in and lift lighter weights with less volume, but having just a short time away from the gym such as 4-5 days is enough to allow your CNS to recover.

Have you ever needed to control the widths of your columns in a GridView especially when the GridView's width is relative to the container (for example: width="100%") and the columns keep getting the total width of the GridView distributed among them? All you want is for each column to take just enough width to display its contents and the remaining width can be allocated to the last column, but that did not work, did it? Have you ever tried using the Wrap="False" in a GridView's RowStyle or HeaderStyle and were surprised it did not work in all browsers? This article is my take at solving these two issues, and it works in both IE and FF.In addition, I present a method to solve a problem when using automatically generated columns in the GridView. As is known, there is a property of the GridView: AutoGenerateColumns, that when set to true would generate the columns automatically from the DataSource. The problem is that we have limited control (if any) on those generated columns. So for example, if the DataSource contains a Date column, the displayed data would not show as formatted, showing for example (1/1/2008 12:00:00 AM) instead of just (1/1/2008) or (01/01/2008), etc... That is a problem because we cannot (directly) change the formatting to meet our requirements. The best way to solve this would be to inherit from GridView and customize the GridView to our liking. For those (like me) that don't want to deal with another extra reference in their project, I have another way.
My solution depends on JavaScript and DOM. I am using Element Injection into the existing HTML. The code is not that complex, and you don't need to be scared by these intimidating terms. You would need though to know a bit of JavaScript and what DOM (Document Object Model) actually means. If you find you lack such knowledge, a few minutes with Google will save you.For the auto-generated columns problem, my solution depends on Reflection to set values of members that don't have public accessibility. Reflection has a performance penalty that at situations can be afforded. If you find that my solution has weak performance (which I did not notice, neither did I test for), then try the alternative: Inheritance.
Following are a few images that illustrate what my solution does:
This is what the sample code would look like without my solution
This is how it looks like with columns formatted, and wrapping not changed
This is how it looks like with columns formatted and wrapping fixed for the header
This is when all features are enabled (wrapping fixed for both the header and data rows)
This is how Date fields appear without formatting
This is how Date fields appear after formatting is applied
There are two parts to the solution: the JavaScript which resides in the ASPX page, and the code that registers calls to those functions, which resides in the code-behind of that page.Let us start with the JavaScript functions:
function formatGrid(el) { el = document.getElementById(el);var numOfCols = el.getElementsByTagName("TR")[1].getElementsByTagName("TD").length;var colGrp = document.createElement("colgroup");var col = document.createElement("col"); col.setAttribute("span", numOfCols-1); col.setAttribute("width", "1"); col.setAttribute("white-space", "nowrap"); col.setAttribute("padding-left", "2"); col.setAttribute("padding-right", "2"); col.setAttribute("border-width", "2"); colGrp.appendChild(col); el.insertBefore(colGrp, el.firstChild); }
The function formatGrid receives the ID of an element in the document, which in our case would normally be the GridView. What this function does is format the GridView so that each column gets just enough width to display its contents and the last column gets all the remaining width. Remember, we are usually dealing here with a GridView that has a width of 100%. The code is relatively clear, I will just point out the following:
The following functions solve the wrapping part of the problem, where we would need something like "First Name" in the header of the GridView to appear on the same line and not wrap and split over two lines. Also, this applies to the data rows where the data can be long, and thus be forced to wrap to another line thus being split across two or more lines. We might need them to appear as a unit on one line. Now, using the following functions, it is easier:
function addNoWrapSpan(el, noWrap) {var span = document.createElement("span");while(el.childNodes.length > 0) {var child = el.firstChild; el.removeChild(child); span.appendChild(child); }if(noWrap) span.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";elsespan.style.whiteSpace = "inherit"; el.appendChild(span); } function setNoWrap(el, noWrapTH, noWrapTD) { el = document.getElementById(el);if(noWrapTH) {var allTHs = el.getElementsByTagName("TH");for(var i = 0; i < allTHs.length; i++) { addNoWrapSpan(allTHs[i], noWrapTH); } }if(noWrapTD) {var allTDs = el.getElementsByTagName("TD");for(var i = 0; i < allTDs.length; i++) { addNoWrapSpan(allTDs[i], noWrapTD); } } }
The first function addNoWrapSpan moves all the elements inside the provided element el (be it a td or th) to a dynamically generated span element that has the proper style depending on whether noWrap is true or false. The style used is:
span.style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";
if noWrap is true and if it is false, then the following style is set:
span.style.whiteSpace = "inherit";
setNoWrap receives three parameters: el which is the element that we are configuring, noWrapTH that tells us whether or not to allow wrapping for the child THs, and noWrapTD indicating whether or not to allow wrapping on the TDs inside the element el. As you can notice, setNoWrap calls addNoWrapSpan where necessary.The attached sample project includes a sample GridView:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server"AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="100%"CssClass="GridClass"><Columns><asp:BoundField DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="First Name" /><asp:BoundField DataField="LastName" HeaderText="Last Name" /><asp:BoundField DataField="Age" HeaderText="Age" /><asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" /></Columns></asp:GridView>
Simply, it displays the data set in the code-behind and also has a CommandField which has a select LinkButton. Now, the code-behind:
private DataTable BuildDataSource() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("FirstName", typeof(string)); dt.Columns.Add("LastName", typeof(string)); dt.Columns.Add("Age", typeof(int)); DataRow dr; dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["FirstName"] = "John the first"; dr["LastName"] = "Doe"; dr["Age"] = 23; dt.Rows.Add(dr); dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["FirstName"] = "Clark"; dr["LastName"] = "Kent"; dr["Age"] = 28; dt.Rows.Add(dr);return dt; }
This is a simple way to show data for test purposes; this will be replaced by code to retrieve data from the database in real case scenarios:
protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) {base.OnPreRender(e);string formatScript = ""; formatScript += string.Format("formatGrid('{0}');" +"setNoWrap('{0}', false, true);", GridView1.ClientID); ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript (this.GetType(), "format", formatScript, true); }
This is where our JavaScript is put to use. Notice that I am calling setNoWrap and assigning false for the noWrapTH parameter; this means that the header will still wrap if its contents are long, you probably will need to change that to true.
Here I describe a method that allows us to format dates inside automatically generated columns (AutoGenerateColumns =true).
private void FormatDatesInGridView(GridView gv, GridViewRow gvr) {if (gv.DataSource != null) { DataTable dt = null;if (gv.DataSource is DataView) { dt = ((DataView)gv.DataSource).Table; }elseif (gv.DataSource is DataSet) { dt = ((DataSet)gv.DataSource).Tables[0]; }elseif (gv.DataSource is DataTable) { dt = (DataTable)gv.DataSource; }if (gvr.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {foreach (TableCell tc in gvr.Cells) { DataControlFieldCell dcfc = (DataControlFieldCell)tc;if (dcfc.ContainingField is AutoGeneratedField) { AutoGeneratedField agf = (AutoGeneratedField)dcfc.ContainingField;if (agf.DataType == typeof(DateTime)) { System.Reflection.FieldInfo fi; fi = typeof(BoundField).GetField("_dataFormatString", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic); fi.SetValue(agf, "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"); fi = typeof(DataControlField).GetField("_statebag", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic); ((StateBag)fi.GetValue(agf))["DataFormatString"] ="{0:dd/MM/yyyy}"; System.Reflection.MethodInfo mi; mi = typeof(BoundField).GetMethod("OnFieldChanged", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance); mi.Invoke(agf, null); ((BoundField)agf).HtmlEncode = false; //Fix for Dates Formatting} } } } } }
The method called FormatDatesInGridView is to be called from inside the RowCreated event handler of the GridView to be formatted. This method receives two parameters: the GridView and the current row. The calling event handler would look like:
protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) {if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) FormatDatesInGridView(GridView1, e.Row); }
The method first determines the DataSource of the GridView (could be modified if you have other types as DataSource). Then, it checks all cells of the current GridViewRow, and if the type of the ContainingField of the AutoGeneratedField is DateTime, we do the following using Reflection:
That's it, the date fields are now formatted. How I came up with these steps is by using Reflector and checking how the classes work internally.
