Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Total Fertility Rate of Ethiopia is 5.4 children per women, population growth rate is estimated to be 2.7% per year and contraceptive prevalence rate is only 15% while the unmet need for family planning is 34%. Overall awareness of Family Planning methods is high, at 87%. The prevalence of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPMs) in Tigray region was very low which accounts for 0.1% for implants and no users for intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) and female sterilization. Moreover almost all modern contraceptive use in Ethiopia is dependent on short acting contraceptive methods. The objective of this study was to assess factors associated with utilization of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPM) among married women of reproductive age group in Mekelle town.
A cross sectional community based survey was conducted from March 9-20, 2011. Multistage sample technique was used to select the participants for the quantitative methods whereas purposive sampling was used for the qualitative part of the study. Binary descriptive statistics and multiple variable regressions were done.
The study consisted of quantitative and qualitative data. From the quantitative part of the study the response rate of the study was 95.6%. Of the qualitative part two FGDs were conducted for each married women and married men. 64% of the married women heard about LAPMs. More than half (53.6%) of the married women had negative attitude towards practicing of LAPMs. The overall prevalence of LAPMs use was 12.3% however; there were no users for female or male sterilization. The main reason cited by the majority of the married women for not using LAPMs was using another method of contraception 360 (93.3%). Mothers who had high knowledge were 8 times more likely to use LAPMs as compared with those who had low knowledge (AOR = 7.9, 95% CI of (3.1, 18.3). Mothers who had two or more pregnancies were 3 times more likely to use LAPM as compared with those who had one pregnancy (AOR = 2.7, 95% CI of (1.4, 5.1).
A significant amount of the participants had low knowledge on permanent contraceptive particularly vasectomy. More than half (53.6%) of married women had negative attitude towards practicing of LAMPs. Few of married women use female sterilization and none use of female sterilization and or vasectomy. Positive knowledge of LAMPs, women who had two and above pregnancies and women who do not want to have additional child were significantly associated. Information education communication should focus on alleviating factors hinder from practicing of LAPMs.

ApplianceMaytag Dryer
Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair30 - 60 mins
Age of ApplianceMore than 10 years
Removed front cover of dryer and cover over blower. Removing the blower wheel from the axle requires removing a snap-ring/circlip (impossible without the proper wrench, ~$20 at a big box store) as well as a compression clip (ordinary pliers will do). Yank off old blower wheel (D-shaped hole was now O-shaped, hence the problem), clean off the axle with a rag, and push on new blower wheel. Reassemble. In all honesty, this was a piece of cake for this complete novice. A lot cheaper than buying a new dryer!

Of late, there's been an influx of fresh faces in the industry. Is it possible that we like a particular mould of actresses? because the ones we make successful are the ones who remind us of one of our favourites. Perhpas we are that fixed in our taste when it comes to leading ladies. If you look closely, you will find that the newbies have a lot in common with their superstar counterparts. Kareena Kapoor confesses that everyone in the industry tells her that Alia reminds them of her. even Mahesh Bhatt has been hearing that from everyone. Likewise Katrina and Nargis have a lot in common, Rani and Shraddha and Kajol and Parineeti.
I am a Diva: Alia Bhatt - Kareena Kapoor
Both are star kids, ooze charm and have enough chutzpah to light up the screen. They are born to be actresses and they know it. No false modesty there. Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor can easily be sisters from another mister! Bebo made her debut with new hero Abhishek Bachchan in Refugee while Alia got a dream debut in Student Of The Year with two new heroes. Both got instant recognition and both were immediately got the label of 'talented performers' Both went on to have several releases shortly after their first film. Alia foryaed into Bollywood last year and already has two releases Highway and 2 States within four months of 2014. Kareena had five releases in one year following Refugee. Kareena was linked to Hrithik Roshan, with whom she did her third film. Alia was in the news for dating Arjun Kapoor, who is the hero of her third film! Kjo Loved bebo and he loves Alai! Last but not the least, Kareena and Alia are refreshingly candid - even at the cost of being deemed ignorant - and make for good copy, always!
I am an actor: Parineeti Chopra - Kajol
Spontaneous, lively and a powerhouse of talent, that's Parineeti Chopra for you or is it Kajol? Both made unconventional film debuts - Kajol in Bekhudi, which went unnoticed and Parineeti in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl that had Anushka Sharma in the leading role. Yet, both Kajol and Pari, (as she is fondly called) drew attention with their performances. The fiesty actresses win acclaim irrespective of the fate of the films at the box office. Heroes usually shy away from being cast opposite Pari as she is known to steal their thunder. Remember Sushant Singh Rajput in Shuddh Desi Romance? It's same with Kajol, who either had an equally powerful role as the hero of her film, or overshadowed them. And just like her predecessor, Pari often draws criticism for her weight and her dressing sense. Not that either has ever cared. They are both clear that they are here to act, and everything else is unimportant.
I am Cinderella: Shraddha Kapoor - Rani Mukerji
Petite, light-eyed and dainty, Shraddha reminds you of Rani Mukherji when she'd made her debut in the early 1990s. Not just in appearance, the duo share a similar career graph too. Rani made her debut in a flop small- budget film Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, before striking big with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Likewise Shraddha made her foray with Teen Patti, which failed at the BO and followed by the small-budget dud Luv Ka The End. She then delivered the highly successful musical, Aashiqui 2. No one expected these girls to become famous but they proved their detractors wrong. Shraddha's next outings include a mixed bag, a deglam role in Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider and a dark film like Ek Villian. Just like Rani, who after a string of masala entertainers turned to challenging roles with Hey Ram. What's more both have an Aditya connection! Shraddha is dating her Aashiqui 2 co-star Aditya Kapur but refuses to let the cat out of the bag. Much like the just-married Rani who for the longest time kept her relationship with Aditya Chopra under wraps!
I am a girl with an accent: Nargis Fakhri - Katrina Kaif
Stunningly attractive, tall and fair, Katrina Kaif and Nargis Fakhri have several things in common. Firstly, both are foreign imports, Katrina is from London, Nargis from the United States. Both were models before they embarked on a career in Bollywood. While Katrina was spotted by Kaizad Gustad for Boom, Nargis caught the eye of Imtiaz Ali who cast her in Rockstar. Though launched in a big way opposite Ranbir Kapoor, Nargis couldn't cash in on the success of the film and had to cool her heels for almost two years before signing up her next. Katrina's Boom crashed at the box office and she was written off till Salman Khan brought her back with Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya. This was two years after Boom! Both Katrina and Nargis speak anglicised Hindi, so their voices got dubbed in the earlier films. Lets not forget both the chiddia pirangis have snapped up two eligible punjabi mundas. Kat has Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis is with Uday Chopra. Both lads are from the oldest film families of Bollywood
I am so much more: Anushka Sharma, the next Priyanka Chopra
Apart from being Punjabi kudis, both Anushka and Priyanka hail from an army background. Though Anushka debuted opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, for some strange reason, she couldn't cash in on the success. It was only after Band Bajaa Baraat that Anushka was hailed as the next big thing. Priyanka made her debut with Hero - A spy story with Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta which didn't do anything for her. It was her next outing Andaaz in which she was the parallel lead with Lara Dutta that Priyanka came into her own. The fiesty actresses have the guts to follow their dreams, irrespective of whether it will bring them success. A couple of years ago, Priyanka decided to make her foray as a singer and cut an international album. Anuskha has turned producer with NH10. Last but not the least, both grabbed headlines for lip jobs, which they have categorically denied!

Factories continue to discharge effluents into the sea
More than a year into its installation, the common effluent treatment plant (ETP) is yet to become operational. It was expected to treat the effluent discharged by the 15 fishmeal and oil industries in Kotepura, Ullal. The residents allege the industries have continued to discharge untreated effluents into the sea.
The ETP was inaugurated by the then Chairman of Karnataka State Pollution Control Board A.S. Sadashivaiah with pomp and fanfare. This ETP was initiated by the Fishmeal and Oil Manufacturers' Association following complaints from residents about problems caused because of the discharge of untreated effluent into the sea. The district administration had ordered for closure of the industries if they did not install the plant.
This plant, which is claimed by the association as the second biggest common ETP in the State, was expected to handle 600 kilolitres of effluent a day. The association said they have spent Rs. 2.5 crore for the plant.
The residents said the plant has failed to take off. "Untreated effluent continues to be let out into the sea, more so in the night.
There are about three separate lines used by each industry to let out the discharge into the sea,' said Imtiyaz, a local resident.
Residents raised the issue at a meeting chaired by the Chairman of Karnataka State Minorities Commission Anwar Manippady held on September 10. During the meeting the KSPCB Environment Officer Lakshman said the ETP was not functioning at the time of inauguration because of incomplete construction/assembly of the ETP. Mr. Lakshman pointed that the ETP was yet to function as per standard norms prescribed by the KSPCB. Following the meeting and a visit to the area, Mr. Manippady ordered closure of the fish meal units till the ETP plant started functioning.
Assistant Commissioner M. Venkatesh said following Mr. Manippady's direction action had been taken jointly by the KSPCB and Town Municipality to cut the pipelines through which untreated effluent was being discharged into the sea. He said a technical advisory committee has taken samples for examination of presence of hazardous chemicals. "If we find evidence of discharge of untreated effluent, action will certainly be taken," he told The Hindu.
Confirming that the common ETP was not working to the required standard, Mr. Lakshman said changes were being made to tune up the plant. "Earlier there were multiple points of discharge of untreated effluents. As these lines are severed, the effluent now comes to the plant.
The problems will be dealt with at one point now," he said. Mr. Lakshman said a new consultant was being appointed to monitor its working.
The association president Showkat Showry denied allegation that untreated effluents were being discharged into the sea.

Great resource! And I don't need to study the book before using it - as long as I've flicked through it before a session, I have plenty of tables and inspiration for any city adventure. Highly recommended.

Okay, but I don't consider it worth $9. While it contained some good tables and encounter generator guides, it was haphazardly composed and the art was lackluster.

I bought this product for 2 reasons.
1) I've heard so many good things about Vornheim from a bevy of blogs I follow and whom opinions I respect, I figured it was about time I purchase the pdf. I'm glad I did as I was not disappointed by the content. The book is chock full of inspirational ideas and story nuggets perfect for any fantasy campaign.
2) I wanted to show my financial and moral support for "Zack Smith" who authored this work. To let him know he's not alone in the gaming community in his disdain towards the SJW's (Social Justice Warriors) and Cultural Marxist who constantly attack him and seek to control discourse in the on-line RPG community. Keep on fighting the good fight Zak.

It's rare to find a product this evocative; I've only done so a few times before. It combines inspiration and a touch of odd with soo much utility. It'll be one of your best friends at the table. It's sad that it's out of print right now, because I would really love a physical copy.

Vornheim is a fantastic toolkit for building a decadent fantasy urban sprawl campaign. This short book packs a mighty wallup!
You should not expect this to be Encyclopedia Vornheim. It instead provides a skeletal framework and palette on which you can layer, via the tools in the book, your version of Vornheim. Its a bit of a Frankenstein's monster, tethered to the wire table, storm brewing, waiting for the bolt of lightning to ignite the life within.
Having already had a physical copy of this book, I wanted a PDF copy as well. The physical book is amongst my most treasured RPG books. It is a reliable source for inspiration, not because it is a complete setting, but because it evokes a richness of setting that could never be fully explored.

the only remotely useful parts are already free blogposts on the dude's website
I guess I'm not a table junky, and I find the content mostly unimaginative tween's first black metal style garbage. Tried using it in play but it's more cumbersome and less interesting than anything I made up on the spot, especially with the trite and juvenile assumed setting and terrible art.

A buddy of mine on G+ recommended Vornheim, solely for the clever rules about buying up objects and pricing things on the fly. Well, suffice it to say that there is a wealth of interesting and useful tidbits scattered liberally throughout this work. The setting is wonky and novel, with very little Tolkien and plenty of Hunter S. Thompson. I don't frequent Zak's pages, but I do get occasional updates on his particularly useful house rules, and almost all of them I incorporate into my game (MY DIRTY LITTLE HEART OF LIES SAYS THAT I MADE THESE THINGS UP AND I COULD HAVE THOUGHT THESE NICIES UP MYSEL) Ahem. The fact of the matter is, Zak doesn't think like you do, and you could never have thought these interesting things up. Snakes as spellbooks? Pssh. That's as cool and as novel as the backside of a pillow, with a Poppy Z. Brite book underneath, with interesting and suspicious stains on the special pages.
The "house generation" rules are great guidelines and a good skill to foment in your braincase, the random NPC and hook charts are delightful, and the art is nice, too. Hey, you could spend that 9 bucks on tasteful porn, but spend it on this instead and get your brain thinking in a different and more fun direction! Or whatever! I don't judge.

I purchased Vornheim after hearing about how great it is at helping GMs create a sprawling metropolis for their fantasy game. Little did I know that it would become the basis of my next campaign.
Zak S. has put together some of the most imaginative and interesting adventure hooks and tables I've ever seen. Everything in this book will cause a GM's mind to race with possibilities. I based four adventures on Vornheim and barely scratched the surface.
I highly recommend Vornheim as an essential sourcebook for any OSR gamemaster.

This is a very clever tool box for adding an aura of size and menace to an urban campaign. My players prefer Legend of Anglerre for their dungeon crawls. So, the systemless approach was much appreciated. The art is entertainingly different from the usual rpg style and gives a "Judge's Guild" feel to the book.

Vornheim is a work of genius! It concisely creates a wonderful sense of place, while at the same time sharing a wealth of advice on how to create your own unique and interesting city adventures. The philosophy that a "campaign book" does NOT need to catalogue every denizen or locale really fits with my own style of play. Vornheim is easy and entertaining to read, and the images are fantastic (I love the maps!).

This week I am reviewing Vornheim the Complete City Kit by noted artist, gamer and porn star Zak Sabbath. Sabbath's first claim to fame is his blog, titled "Playing D&D with Porn Stars."
Sabbath games with people like Mandy Morbid, Satine Phoenix and even with Sasha Grey – which means he has one of the coolest gaming groups ever. To my knowledge, no actual pornography has happened during one of his group's session. Pornography. From an ancient Greek term translating as "naughty scrolls and vases I have to hide from my parents." Where was I? Right. Zak Sabbath's made waves in the hobby and continues to make waves, via his blog. His approach to art, gaming and apparently having sex on camera is restlessly innovative.
In 2011 Sabbath worked with James Raggi, the man behind Lamentation's of the Flame Princess, to develop his thoughts and the play mechanics Sabbath created for gaming in an urban setting. This led to the creation and publication of Vornheim the Complete City Kit. The work in available in hard copy and PDF – this review is of the PDF version.
Vornhiem is also the name of the principal city in Sabbath's home game and the book nominally explores the setting. Nominally is a good term as Sabbath is not interested in providing a level of detail on the city for GPS coordinates for all the local cult sites and a map of the regular bus routes and their stops. He does not so much disparage the usually tropes into which fantasy city RPG supplements fall as simply dismiss them. These books are, as Sabbath rightly points out here and elsewhere, are too often too similar to each other even when supposedly about different cities and are too often too dense with inflexible information. If you have read about one fantasy city's sewer system, you pretty much have read about the sewer system of all fantasy cities. For that matter, too many fantasy cities are not particularly fantastic.
The details he does provide about the city of Vornheim and its world are fascinating – his riff in the book about the skin of reptiles of all kinds is one of the best passages I have ever read in any RPG supplement. An always snow city, Vornheim consists largely of great, dark towers, which are often connected by bridges. There is a strange, timeless and dreamlike quality to the city – more than Waterdeep, Greyhawk or Sharn, Vornheim feels fantastic. You have to go to Sigil to find a city as surreal and interesting as Vornheim.
On his blog, Sabbath writes he lives in L.A. and so many of the people he hangs with are in the sex entertainment industry. One wonders where in L.A. he happens to live, as it seems unlikely porn stars and strippers populate the entire city. It would be interesting to know how living in that city influenced his gaming philosophy.
While Sabbath does provide details on the city of Vornheim, most of the book is about running a city game by making it up as you go. Sabbath employs the book to assert a GM does not need an exhaustive guide to a city to run one properly and having such a guide from the outset can be counterproductive.
Much of the book is devoted to interesting game mechanics including some great tables. For example, Vornheim the book provides a table for determine aristocrats on the fly – you can roll on the table multiple times, mixing and matching surnames and given names and disturbing quirks for the NPC in question. The items on the table for what maybe discovered when going through the pockets of the corpse range from the silly to plot hooks to the comically sad. The item on the table where the party discovers an engagement ring, and a earnest though semi-literate draft of marriage-proposal speech will elicit laughter from most players, especially if their PC are the ones who killed the man. None the less, it is a good table. Those are also the more standard mechanisms in the book – unusual ones includes special pages upon which dice are rolled and where on the page the dice stop is as import as the results of the dice for determining combat result, the size of a tower, the cost of goods and similar results. Some of my favorites are the table on vile tavern games, a diagram for working out NPC relationships and the table on fortunes for the party. And kudos to Sabbath for writing that the GM master and the players and may determine the fulfillment of a prophecy.
Vornheim employs some D&D game mechanics in some places, but only loosely – these are changeable to another edition or even a different game system with minimal effort. Most of the tables and mechanics suggested here is system neutral.
Sabbath's actual job is an artist and he provides the art for this book, which is stylized and abstract. Normally I dislike this style of art, but Sabbath imbues the art with a vitality and sense of story stylized art usually lacks. Some of the best pieces are the medusa on page 14 and depictions of the Eminent Cathedral and the Palace Massive. To keep the price down the book is black and white, and while not a strike against Vornheim it is unfortunate because elsewhere Sabbath use of color is striking.
This book possesses flaws. First up – and this is a subjective matter – there are almost no appearances from elves, dwarves or other fantasy races. Except for a few scant mentions in some of the tables, the fantasy races make no appearance in the book. However, this is easily fixed and the nature of the work means it can easily become about a city of elves, goblins or something else.
A more severe problem is the interior arrangement of Vornheim, as a book, feels random. This is somewhat ameliorated by a good table of contents, but there is no discernable pattern to the sequence of sections in the book or how one sections leads to another. There are good ideas here – some brilliant ones – but difficulty in getting to those ideas hobbles the books utility.
Vornheim, as a book, is not a fictional tour guide to a place the players cannot ever actually visit. It is about running urban games in a quick and energetic manner, where the rules and text do not hold back the flow of the actual game. In that it is succeeds quite well.
I give Vornheim the Complete City Kit, a 15 on a d20 roll. It is quite good at what it does and is valuable for accomplishing its goals and what the book offers gamers. However, it is held back somewhat by a singular focus on humans and an organization that feels slapdash at times. Still, it is worth the purchase price and is available at the D&D with Porn Star site and at the Lamentations of the Flame Princess sites.

Vornheim: The Complete City Kit

Originally published at: http://diehardgamefan.com/2011/08/23/tabletop-review-vornhei-
I read gaming blogs voraciously. My RSS feed is filled with OSR blogs and science fiction RPG blogs, blogs about the 80's games of my wasted youth and blogs written by new economy entrepreneurs selling their print-on-demand wares. Through my blog reading, I found Zak S. and his blog, Playing D&D With Porn Stars. Not having listened to the podcast I Hit It With My Axe, I had no idea who Mandy Morbid was and what exactly was going on in the city of Vornheim. I was ready to leave his blog and move on when I read an article, the exact one is lost to memory, and I realized something: Zak S. knows what he is talking about. Not only does Zak know what he is talking about, he has amazing ideas.
I apologize now for what may seem like excessive hyperbole. Before I held this book in my hands, I thought the exuberance other reviewers had towards Vornheim was unfounded. People were calling this the best RPG sourcebook in the last ten years, if not since the Golden Age of D&D. How could a 64 page book be deserving of so much praise?
Vornheim is the physical expression of Zak's particular brand of genius. A slim 64 page volume, Vornheim is roughly the same dimensions of the Lamentations of the Flame Princess boxed set and the original Little Brown Books of Dungeons and Dragons. While it may not match your 1st Edition hardcovers, this is a well-constructed example of the bookbinder's craft. There are no wasted surfaces on the book, and useful content drips from the pages. The slick, full color dustcover has a moody painting of a purple-maned warrior in combat with a gargoyle and a map of the city on the interior. As with all of the art and words in Vornheim, the painting is a product of Zak S.
Rare is the RPG book that needs a description written on the subject of its cover, but Vornheim is no ordinary book. The cover, sans dustcover, is white with black numbers and text. With a handful of d4's and the key, which is also printed on the inside of the cover, NPCs, Creatures, Monsters, and Locations can be generated in a few seconds. The back cover can help run mass combats super-fast or just tell you where an arrow his. Without even opening the book, Vornheim justified a place in my gaming satchel. Yes, I carry a satchel.
The interior is split in half. The first half is a description of the cold, grey city of Vornheim. Unlike other city books, like the Volo's Guides, this is not a street by street description, but instead a collection of facts and rumors, which seem to have equal weight in Vornheim. The richness of the ideas here are palpable. Reading snakes make perfect sense to me, after reading it here, and almost every idea presented is the same way. There is an easy, matter of a fact tone to the weirdness that makes even the blatantly ridiculous work. Flailceratops, a tribute to the oft snickered at Flail Snail, feels right in this context, especially when rendered in Zak's Mike Mignola and Bill Sienkiewicz informed pen and ink style. That the GM is encouraged to run their own Vornheim and not subscribe to an orthodox continuity makes for a much more useful book.
The second half is a meaty selection of tables and charts. Did the party find a dead body? There's table for what they might find on it. Searching a library? There is a table for that. Need to generate a floorplan for a building? There is a system for that so simple it makes me want to make a whole castle. Even if you are not playing in a city, the charts included have a use. More than a guide to a city, this is a guide to how Zak runs a game. For a GM who favors a loose, sandbox style of game, Vornheim is a treasure trove of methods for my madness.
In the end, the only negative I can think of for Vornheim is the name. This is not a book about a city, this is a book about all cities. I guess that would explain the subtitle being 'The Complete City Kit'. Every GM of D&D style games who thinks they might ever have a party wander into a city should take a look at Vornheim. For my money, there is no more useful book for a GM to have in their satchel. Is there a more butch name for a satchel?

Vornheim: The Complete City Kit
Lamentations of the Flame Princess

As a GM, I personally find the creation of any settlement larger than a village to be a daunting task and published city settings to be often overwhelming with details. I appreciate the author's approach to fleshing out an urban setting on the fly. About half of this product offers information on the city of Vornheim which, although interesting, will not be of much use in my own games. On the other hand, the remainder of the book will serve as a very useful city creation tool kit. I would have granted an extra star if not for the pdf's hefty price tag.

Boys in postwar America wanted to be Ted Williams when they grew up.
When they actually did grow up, they realized they wanted to be Ralph Kiner.
He was the great American home run hitter, with all that entails. "The fans in Pittsburgh wouldn't leave, no matter what the score was, until he came up for the last time," teammate Frank Thomas said Thursday, after he heard Kiner had died, at 91.
"Cadillacs," Kiner once said, "are down at the end of the bat."
So were the rest of life's finer pleasures. Bing Crosby owned part of the Pirates in those days, and opened a bright new world to the kid from Alhambra.
Kiner escorted the 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor to a movie premiere and had a Rat Pack of his own when he went to Palm Springs for the winter.
In that arena he was best known for dating Janet Leigh. Many years later, when Kiner was the Mets' TV voice, Jamie Lee Curtis and husband Christopher Guest came to Shea Stadium and met Kiner.
"I don't know if you knew this," Kiner told her, "but I used to date your mother."
Curtis smiled, threw her arms around Kiner and yelled, "Daddy!"
"The only place we ever saw Ralph was at the ballpark," Thomas said. "When I was a kid, I picked up his bat in spring training and he said, 'No, you don't touch a veteran's bat.' But he was a great guy. And he had a great swing."
The Pirates had signed Hank Greenberg in 1947, and he mentored Kiner. They shrank the left-field dimensions to 335 feet down the line and 376 in left-center. They called it Greenberg Gardens. It became Kiner's Korner.
"It really wasn't much different from other parks," pitcher Bob Friend said.
But Kiner had to overcome that perception, and the fact that back problems retired him after 10 years didn't help. Kiner squeezed into the Hall of Fame by one vote in his 15th and final year of eligibility.
He earned it by leading his league in home runs seven consecutive times, a record that endures.
In 1949 he threatened Babe Ruth's 60 home runs and finished with 54. In a five-year span he homered 237 times, with at least 123 RBI in three consecutive seasons.

Slingbox + Mac Mini -- anyone have this setup?
I want to sling HDTV from my parent's house to my house, but to display on a TV, not computer. From what I've read the Slingcatcher isn't a great solution b/c it doesn't do HD and also creates choppy video. So I'm wondering if I hooked up a mini to my HT via a mini displayport to HDMI cable if that would get me a smooth 720p picture on my TV.
Or maybe there is some easier/less expensive way to get an HD sling stream on a TV?
|Mar 17, 2010, 07:17 AM
Just set up my slingbox sunday night. The pop up said that slingbox does not support high def on the mac yet. I swear that is what i read but I was wrong once in the past so I could be wrong again.
I have my mac mini at my apartment and my slingbox at my house so I will try it and let you know how it looks. Hopefully tonight but no promises.
Also, has anyone tried the opposite of this, Hooking their mini into their slingbox to watch videos thru it. I am not sure if that is a stupid idea. I guess I would have to use a remote desktop app to play the video then switch to slingbox to watch.
2" Digital Picture Frame, Dynex USB and Firewire iPod Cable, Simpsons Calender, 3 or 4 AAA batteries...

I doubt it looks good. I sling hd from my cable box to a Macbook Pro on the same network and even then it is choppy and not smooth. I'm not sure why sling calls it 'hd' as it is not even SD. I think the sling HD has component cables vs composite.. might be the only diff. Definitely not smooth HD video.
So from that I'd guess that hooking up a MiniDisplay port/HDMI cable to a TV isn't going to enhance anything.
That said I like the Slingplayer as it is a great way to catch dvr'd shows when traveling, etc. Makes it easy to watch on a laptop in another room of the house. Quality is always crap though.
|Mar 17, 2010, 11:40 AM
Disappointing to hear the video quality isn't at least as smooth as say Hulu. Is that a sling issue or a bandwidth one?
|Mar 17, 2010, 12:16 PM
So I have a Mac Mini HTPC and was too broke as a student to pay the $60 a month that Comcast was charging for cable so I bought a new Slingbox off of Craigslist for $50. It is not the HD model that sells for $230 but the base model that goes on Amazon for $150. To be honest, the Slingbox works great. While you are not going to get HD unless you are within the network I can honestly say that the quality is pretty good. I would say on the order of 360p from Hulu. Now, I think that this really depends on your network at both the source and where you are going to stream to but I do not get any stuttering or pixelation. My slingplayer is regularly streaming at about 2000 kbps. I have noticed it go down to as low as 1000 kbps without me having any problems.
I have to admit that the windows app for slingplayer is much more refined than the mac app. The Windows app automatically loads the guide based on your DVR and lets you change the channels and see what is going on without having to actually press "Guide" on your DVR remote. It makes it a more streamline process when changing channels. I have 4 computers feeding off the slingbox (not at the same time of course) but so far it has worked great. Just my 2 cents.
|Mar 17, 2010, 08:59 PM
I have a Slingbox Pro-HD and sling in HD to my MBP. The quality of the stream is entirely dependent on both the internet connection at the source and where you are viewing. I'm only able to view HD content when I'm streaming at home, where the Slingbox is located. When I'm streaming remotely, the quality is still good, but nowhere near HD.
To stream HD content with the Mac, you have to have the Slingbox Pro-HD, and you have to use the web-based Slingplayer (http://watch.slingbox.com/sling_player). Unfortunately, the standalone software version of the player for Mac does not support HD (although the standalone PC player does support HD). The web player works well in Firefox and Safari (32-bit only) and is very smooth, provided you have good bandwidth.

Ben Affleck: Jennifer Garner Is the Most Important Person to Me
Originally posted 12/09/2013 05:00PM
Ben Affleck has one person to thank for his recent slew of successful films: his wife, Jennifer Garner.
In a new interview with Playboy, Affleck, 41, says Garner, also 41, helped provide him with a stable home that separated him from a string of unsuccessful films and being tabloid fodder following his relationship with Jennifer Lopez.
"My wife was definitely around then," says Affleck. "Getting to know her, falling in love with her and being connected with her gave me a foundation to reach out and say, 'Okay, I'm going to do Hollywoodland. I'm going to direct Gone Baby Gone,' " Affleck said. "Those were the steps forward I needed to put positive stuff on the board."

Lena Dunham Credits Parents for Healthy Body Image

Everybody is so lucky that they get to look at me," the actress, 27, tells Marie Claire UK's October issue.
"And of course that changes as you get older, but I may have held on to that little-kid feeling that was me alone in my bathroom," she says.

Thanks to everyone who sent us a donation through the Give!Guide during the last six weeks of 2008! As anticipated, the final days were particularly exciting in terms of watching the giving results really accelerate their climb. We ended up receiving just over $14,000, which we hand't budgeted for earlier in the year, and given our planned deficit this fiscal year, it will really help alleviate that situation.
An extra special thanks for those Give!Guide donors who becamse first-time KBOO donors; your investment in community radio is particularly important as the number and quality of free media choices continues to increase.
On Whole World Music on January 11, 2009, Craig Burk gave this introduction to raga Marwa, sung by Ustad Amir Khan.
Hello listeners and members, we've wrapped up another successful year with KBOO's Youth Collective. We've reached a new level of stability within the group and with new community partners, with exciting plans on the horizon.
In 2009 we saw an increase in the average age of the KBOO Youth, and now the Collective is majority teenagers. In the recent past we had a group that consisted of youth who were 19 and 20, and many who were 11 and 12.
Also within the station we have had a fair amount of school and community groups visit. In the past six months we have hosted youth from Human Solutions, a residential home outside Beaverton, youth from Helensview High School on 86th and Sumner, youth from The Pangaea Project, and youth from the Centennial Learning Center, where we did our Global Youth Service Day project last April.

Bridget B. here, I really enjoy, listening to and playing for you, international music, which I strive to convey in the first hour of An Evening of Afrotainment. My professional work as an event producer has taken me to many countries and I always take pause to inhale the surrounding culture, mostly through various forms of visual and musical, artistic expressions. The world is large, but it still finds ways to connect us and I believe the connecting point is through music.
I played a piece by Lura, pronounced Loo-Rah, called Bida Mariadu, off the Putumayo Presents: Women of the World: Acoustic CD. This compilation is "...an exploration of contemporary acoustic music by some of the world's leading female artists." http://www.putumayo.com/en/catalog_item.php?album_id=231 I always preview the songs that I play and this one was just so touching that I couldn't pass it by and then I learned more about the artist...read on...

This exchange is just a drop in the obsessive bucket. There are pages and pages of tips and updates about the "Red Hook ball fields" on the chowhound site. So, what's all the plotzing about? Louise raved about Columbian beef skewers and empanadas, Ecuadorian ceviche, pupusas (Salvadoran), and plenty of Mexican delights, like huaraches and tacos. Other "hounds" are fixated on the pineapple juice or a drink made from cashews, and the grilled corn (elotes) with chili powder, lime juice, mayonnaise, and crumbled cheese.
Over ten years ago, the first of these stalls was set up, simply to feed the soccer and baseball players who compete in local league games on the weekends. One of the pioneer stands was established by Eleazar Perez, who is originally from Puebla, Mexico. She and her husband have since opened a restaurant, La Asuncion, in Borough Park. Her children, Perla and Fabian, 21 and 18 respectively, have both been cooking at their parents' stall every weekend (through October) for a few years. Despite her particular expertise in tacos, flautas, and tostadas, Perla, like those drooling hounds, has strong opinions when it comes to any of the diverse delicacies. "Oh, you got pupusas at the first stall?" she shrugged, in pity, saying "I only like them from the second one. They're smaller, but better. Whatever."

At a Columbian stall, I had a plate of deep-fried pork belly, chopped and topped off with sweet, soft onions. At the Perez's stall, I had a steak taco, made on a grilled tortilla (not a fresh one, but great nonetheless) and at the biggest, most elaborate Mexican stall, I sampled a fresh-made quesadilla with pork, beef, guacamole, radishes, and cheese. To end the weekend, I had one more fresh tortillasmall and perfect, and stuffed with braised lamb, lettuce, cheese, and topped with hot sauce.
Waitwas there a soccer game going on there, too?

Article posted: 03/12/2013
In his last blog, Nik Cook was getting over the disappointment of crashing out of his target event for the year, defending his age-group title at the World Long Course Duathlon Championships at Powerman Zofingen in Switzerland. With road rash healed, he's now ready to embark on a new challenge that he'll be blogging about exclusively here.
I'd given a hint what Project 2014 was at the end of my last blog but now it's time to lay my cards on the table. The main goal of the year is to compete in the Masters World Track Championship Individual Pursuit in October 2014.
With thirteen years of training for ultra long distance events, including the six day 150-mile Marathon des Sables Saharan run, an 120-mile Arctic ultra run and long course triathlons and duathlons, making the change from events lasting hours, or even days, to one lasting three and a half minutes is a challenge that I'm really excited about.
I'm definitely noticing changes in my body and how it performs on the bike and am really enjoying the challenges of this new project.
In focussing on long course duathlon for the last two years, my cycling has become far stronger than my running and all of my aches, pains and niggles flair up after long or hard run sessions. I won't be knocking running on the head completely, as I find it brilliant winter cross training, love getting out on the hills in the mornings and my dogs need the exercise but I'll be dialing it right back and just doing it for variety and fun.
I'm forty in February, so move up into the next age band and am aware, from a health perspective, that a decrease in training volume and some emphasis on developing strength and power after years of long and slow work, could be a good idea. From the age of approximately thirty, all men will tend to start to lose muscle mass unless it's kept stimulated. This can have a negative effect on metabolism, make weight maintenance harder and can be compounded by large amounts of endurance exercise. Some form of resistance training, such as this routine from Phil Burt, Lead Physiotherapist at British Cycling and Consultant Physiotherapist to Team Sky, and Martin Evans, head of Strength and Conditioning with British Cycling, is advisable for all men.
I've been through similar annual training plans for the last two or three years and am really in need of some variety to fire up my enthusiasm. I'm not any illusion that the training for this goal is going to be any easier but a change from long and slow to shorter and harder is, at the moment, appealing. I'll let you know if that changes once the really horrible interval sessions kick in.
I've been riding the track once a week for the last year and really enjoy it. I've gained my accreditation at Manchester and have been putting in some reasonable performances at the SQT (Structured Quality Training) sessions I've attended.
I've always found that, if I'm going to have to find the motivation to train hard, I've got to be inspired by an event and more than a little bit scared of it. This goal certainly ticks both of those boxes and, being around for some of this year's World Masters Track Championships, felt a few butterflies flitting in my stomach.
Although this is going to be a big change in training emphasis for me, it's not completely left field. Many top riders, including Sir Bradley Wiggins, make the switch for track to road and vice versa. I've already got a well established and deep endurance base and, even for a relatively short event such as a 3 km individual Pursuit, having this foundation is key to success as the higher end levels of fitness can't be built without it. I'm basically going to try and bolt a turbo on my big old diesel engine. I'm 190 cm tall and tend to hover around 80-82 kg, so I'm never going to be the greatest climber but I can put out decent power on the flat.
I'll be blogging about all aspects of my training and progress and passing on the training tips and technical advice I get from British Cycling's World beating coaches.
I've already set a few stepping stone goals. The first, and potentially last depending on how it goes, is to ride a test 3 km Individual Pursuit. This is pencilled in for January 2014 and hopefully will show that I'm not going to make a complete fool of myself and we've got something worth working on.
Then, through March, April and May, I'll be focussing on 10 and 25 mile time trials, seeing what times I can post and also trying some closed circuit road racing.
June will see my first big test on the track as I take on the Masters National Track Championships and, from that, see what I'll be aiming for at the Worlds in October.
Weeks 1-6
Having taken a couple of weeks off to heal up after Zofingen and wallow in a bit of self pity, I was ready and raring to go for Project 2014. Although I already had a solid base of aerobic fitness, the main weakness to address was, well, my weakness. Strong on the bike for 150 km bike leg in a duathlon or a long sportive is one thing but the strength and power required for and explosive start and then sustaining a hard effort for 3 km is entirely different. I hadn't been near a gym in years so, in consultation with Martin Evans, head of Strength and Conditioning with British Cycling, a solid 3 month block of strength work through to the end of 2013, was prescribed.
Focussing on movement such as squats, dead-lifts, Bulgarian squats and single leg presses, my body was in for a rude awakening. The weights I was initially lifting were truly pathetic and I'd wobble my way through sets looking like a newborn giraffe. The day after my first session in the gym I felt quite smug though. My legs felt tired but I'd been expecting horrendous soreness. Maybe I wasn't quite so weak after all? Forty-eight hours later though my smugness was gone as it felt as though someone had taken a baseball bat to my legs and backside. This was the pattern for the first couple of weeks but, by the third week, post workout soreness was diminishing and my weights were steadily creeping up. I knew that these gains were just due to the link between my brain and muscles and my technique improving, rather than my actual muscular strength, but there was a satisfaction about adding a few plates to the barbell and I was no longer getting the same derisory looks from the well muscled gentlemen in tank tops.
With my legs in a state of shock most of the time, recovery and maintenance were the main objectives on the bike. On the turbo I'd go through the British Cycling Warm-up three times to spin my legs out and use the rev-outs to develop leg speed. On Sunday club-runs, I'd sit in and wouldn't get sucked into the inevitable surges and village sign sprints. Even on our club Saturday morning Smackdown session, I've been measuring my efforts and not hammering myself. The only real quality bike session of the week has been SQT on the track on Tuesdays and, despite staggering off the track a gasping wreck each week, I do seem to be getting stronger and faster. I've been really careful about monitoring intensity on the bike, maximising recovery and have been stretching and hitting the foam roller every day.
It seems to be working and I'm managing to balance training and recovery well. I'm in my sixth week of the gym work and, although I won't be featuring on Worlds Strongest Man quite yet, I'm managing 115 kg for my three sets of eight reps on squats and 110 kg on straight legged dead lifts. My weight has crept up to 83 kg but I haven't been massively diet conscious since Zofingen and I've definitely developed a new lump on the front of my thighs and feel fairly lean. On the bike I feel great on the flat and on the track and, although I've probably lost a bit of uphill zip, I feel really strong sat in the saddle and putting down the power.
For November, I'll be tweaking the gym routine, switching on the main exercises to four sets of six reps and upping the weights. I'll keep on with the SQT sessions on the track and my turbo work will include both Sweet-Spot and Threshold efforts. I'm definitely noticing changes in my body and how it performs on the bike and am really enjoying the challenges of this new project.

Unbeaten Welsh fighter Jeff Evans has replaced Tony Quigley in the line-up for Prizefighter Super-Middleweights on June 30 at York Hall, Bethnal Green. Mystery surrounds Quigleys decision to pull out, with the official reason of a foot injury clouded by rumours of a domestic dispute but 27 year-old Evans is delighted to have been called up to the 13th edition of Barry Hearns eight-man, one night tournament, live on Sky Sports..
The Pontypool-based boxer came close to grabbing the final spot on the night by winning the first ever Prizefighter public vote, only to lose out to Londoner Tony Salam. But now the hot prospect with three wins from three fights has been granted a second chance and is determined to grab it with both hands.
You don't miss an opportunity like this - I'm absolutely ecstatic, said Evans. I was told that I had received a lot of votes which made me proud as you wouldn't expect me to get that many after just three fights. But I'm from a big community and I know they have backed me and I want to do if for them to thank them. The word has only been out for a day now and I've already had lots of people wanting to come to London to support me and I can't wait.
Working as a welder and fabricator by day, Evans admitted he has thought about what victory and the £32,000 winners cheque could do to his fledgling career, and the effect on his profile in his home country which already has a Prizefighter winner in Gavin Rees.
Getting seen performing in front of big crowds and becoming a big name in Wales is what it's all about for me, said Evans. Winning Prizefighter could take me to places I didn't expect. I've always wanted to give boxing more of my time and this could open so many doors. I'm a family man and I have a mortgage just like everyone else so I can't just focus on the boxing, but winning Prizefighter would give me that chance.
I'm not really that bothered that it's short notice, I'm in good shape and I've got two weeks to get up to my peak and I'm confident that I have the tools to do the job. I have power there so I need to work my opponent from the off and get that working but I've got no doubts in my ability.
Evans is embarking on his career under the tutelage of Gary Lockett, the former world title challenger and the man who also trains Prizefighter light-welterweight winner Gavin Rees and super-bantamweight semi-final winner Ricky Owen who had to withdraw from the final due to a cut in the last show in May.
I'm a quick learner, and since turning pro - or semi-pro in my eyes - I am learning with every day, and Gary is key to that, said Evans. Experience is a so important in the sport and Gary is perfect to teach me. I sparred with him on Wednesday and was great, he was a great fighter and he's still in good shape and you cannot get better than sparring with someone who's seen it and done it.
Lockett was in the corner for Owens bruising quarter-final encounter with Gavin Reid in May before withdrawing the fighter with a cut ahead of the final, and having seen just how demanding the night is on a fighter, Evans may have the perfect guide to lift the trophy on the night.
You have to take it round by round as anything can happen, less than half the favourites have won which shows that, said Lockett. Ricky looked brilliant against Reid but then he got dropped in the second round because he didn't stick to the game plan, and it ended up being so much of a war that he didn't have anything left for the semi and the final. I think that by pulling him out of the final I was preserving his career really because there was just nothing left in him.
Jeff has been sparring with the likes of Nathan Cleverly and Bradley Pryce regularly and he does pretty well against them, said Lockett. He's a strong and tough kid he needs to develop his skills but he's got heart and power, he's a hard worker and intelligent too.
I'm a little bit sore around the ribs today after sparring I'm going to be taking more money out of his purse this time for all that! But joking aside, he's a good boy who wants to learn and he likes to hear the stories of the good nights I had and with a bit of luck he'll have a good night himself on the 30th.
Joining Evans and Salam on the night is Dudleys Sam Horton fresh from his title fight with James DeGale, former British Masters champion Eddie McIntosh, Northamptons Paul David, Waltham Abbeys Daniel Cadman, Peter Fedorenko from Sheffield and 19 year-old Patrick Mendy, the youngest ever boxer in Prizefighter.

Indeed, Stasiu's has bit the dust. But, rising from the rubble, welcome Stanley's, the slicked-up sequel of its Polish forbear, touting the same name but translated into the lingua franca of the hipsters who've reclaimed Nordeast. Neighborhood regulars have returned, too, along with others who've heard the word — four words, actually: great beer, good food.
And lots of both. A chronicler of microbreweries could earn his Ph.D. here, with 32 taps, saluting the froth of regional hop gods from Fulton to Surley and Lift Bridge and 12 spigots devoted to the suds of Ireland. Plus, the night we walked in, Schell's reps were handing out free samples.
Stanley's menu hits the mark, too: bar food that appeases the consciences of slumming foodies with made-in-house and locally-sourced provender, while simultaneously catering to the more traditional "If it ain't broke, don't you dare fix it" crowd.
Thus, apps ($3.79–$7.79) like sliders (these, from house-smoked brisket); fries (hand-cut sweet potatoes or with pepperjack sauce); and jalapeno poppers (updated with a roasted red-pepper coulis). And smoked brisket nachos, unquestionably the best thing to cross my lips this week. The chips come shouldered with generous strands of smoky, tender meat in combo with a blend of cheeses, all avalanched with more cheese sauce. Ramekins at the ready provide a snappy salsa, chopped jalapenos, sour cream to smooth the bite and a fresh, perky housemade guac. I'll drink to that.
Well, I did. Then I ordered the walleye (entrees $7.79 up) — a slim, mild flavored grilled fillet (or choose beer-battered) attended by a modest, mostly mayo, house-made tartar sauce and choice of two sides. The cole slaw carried a pleasing sweet-tart zing, thanks to vinegar instead of mayonnaise in its makeup. Better yet: a generous cup of chili, almost thick enough to require a carving knife and stoked with Guinness, along with tomatoes, meat and beans.
But here's what you really need to do to qualify as a Stanley's groupie: Order the Hamorker, as deliciously disgusting as it sounds, and by far the most popular burger — a half-pounder topped with pulled pork from the kitchen's smoker and a lode of Cheddar. Is that even legal? Never mind. (The Stanley Burger substitutes brisket for pork atop the pattie, another sign that anorexia shall never make inroads in Nordeast.)

Balboa Park looks less like Christmas
At this time of year Balboa Park has never looked worse — few decorations and blue and purple lights — the city and many of its residents should be ashamed for removing many of this season's traditions. There is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas as we always have. Balboa park was one of the highlights of our celebrations — please bring it back.

Magnolia Youth from Water Valley was able to take a lead in the first inning and keep it in a 7-4 win over Mathiston in the final game to finish of eight on the first day of the Dizzy Dean 12-year-old North State Tournament.
After scoring 21 runs in an earlier 21-8 victory over Horn Lake, Magnolia Youth proved it had a little bit left in the tank to get its second triumph of the day.
Magnolia Youth scored three runs in the first inning to gain a lead.
Even though Mathiston cut into the margin with a pair of runs in its half of the first, Magnolia Youth answered with one run in the second inning and another in the fourth to regain its three-run advantage at 5-2.
Mathiston cut the lead back to one at 5-4 with a pair of runs in the fourth, but Magnolia Youth got the two runs back in the seventh with one being a solo home run by Dre McCrae. It was McCrae's second home run of the tournament.
Cameron Pilgrim had a double for Mathiston in the game, while Coleson Buchanan had a pair of singles. Buchanan, Pilgrim, Conner Shurden and Kaleb Parish scored one run each for the Webster County squad.
With the loss, Mathiston was sent to the loser's bracket and faces Marshall City today in a 12:15 p.m. start.

It was a stiff neck. And the implication in the first post is rather incindiary with no basis.
He looked sad? lol. I would have described him as more contemplative than sad.

"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
I'm reading a biography of Lou Gehrig right now, "The Luckiest Man."
More than once I have thought of Joey Votto, while reading about the life of Lou Gehrig: Show up and work. Shut up and play. Always striving to improve. Steady, dependable, and definitely does not need to be in the spotlight, maybe even more comfortable on the edges of fame than right in the middle.
Gehrig led by example. He was named captain only after Ruth was sent to the Braves, and he was quickly over-shadowed by DiMaggio's emergence (the press loved Joe D, and never could figure out what to do with Gehrig, who was the antithesis of Babe Ruth, socially).
Votto reminds me of Gehrig in those ways.
He was probably thinking "How long after a first date do I wait to call Heather"
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I think this is a pretty astute observation, Always Red. I would love for Votto to have half the career Gehrig had and would love to see him playing for the Reds his entire career. He just seems like a solid individual all around.
Votto and Ryan Hanigan now have the longest current tenure with the Reds organization. Both are in their 9th season, having both joined in 2002 (Votto draft, Hanigan - undrafted FA).
By the way, one of favorite movies is Pride of the Yankees . I just recently purchased it on DVD as my old VHS version of it was getting kind of fuzzy.

LONDON (ICIS)--European bisphenol A (BPA) contract prices have dropped by €40/tonne ($53/tonne) in July because the market is oversupplied, feedstock costs fell, and demand from the downstream epoxy resins and polycarbonate (PC) industries is weak, sources said on Friday.
The July freely negotiated BPA contract price is at €1,520-1,540/tonne FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe).
The epoxy resins industry is performing particularly badly because of low consumption from the construction and automotive sectors, which have been negatively affected by the ongoing economic slowdown in Europe.
BPA production units are running at reduced rates to match consumption. Supply has been described as plentiful and noone is concerned about the potential of not being able to secure enough material.
($1 = €0.76)
