VANDALIA – Senior Paige Ehrat continued her torrid start at the plate, but the Lady Vandals were overmatched by an out-of-state opponent in last Friday's home-opener.
Ehrat was 2-for-3 with two doubles, but Vandalia wasn't able to get a run across in a 6-0 loss to Plymouth, Wisc., a team that made a stop here during its spring trip.
Through three games, Ehrat is hitting .625 with three extra-base hits for the Lady Vandals (0-3).
Vandalia sophomore Ben Strobel finished 11th in the 1,600-meter run at Saturday's Class 1A Illinois Prep Top Times meet in Bloomington.
Held in the Shirk Fieldhouse on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University, Strobel finished the race in 4:47.67 to place four positions higher than he was seeded.
The Top Times meet is known as the unofficial indoor state championship meet.
Mulberry Grove senior Becca Oldham fired her second no-hitter of the season on Saturday against St. Anthony.
Oldham struck out nine Lady Bulldogs, and her only blemish in the 15-0 victory was a walk issued in the second inning. She tossed a perfect game against Sandoval in the season-opener.
Offensively, the Lady Aces scored in just two innings, bringing home six runs in the third and nine in the fifth.
Kate Jolliff homered, and freshman Lauren Robison reached base four times and scored three runs for Mulberry Grove (2-0).
Vandalia Jr. Wrestling Club member Jarek Wehrle went 3-3 to place eighth at the Illinois Midget Championships in Danville.
After receiving a bye in the Midget 60 division, Wehrle wrestled to six decisions, none of which had a margin of fewer than five points.
Also wrestling for Vandalia was Kyle Miller.
Miller, wrestling in the Midget 60 division, went 3-2, but did not place in the event.
He recorded two pins, both coming in under a minute.
Once the snow clears, reported cancellations will be posted at www.leaderunion.com.
Kyle Anderson of Willms and Yakel Insurance throws out a ceremonial first pitch last Friday prior to the first spring game at Vandalia Mutual Field.
VANDALIA - The Vandals made an offensive statement in a season-opening win against Ramsey.
The inexperienced pitching staff and defense may need a little time to catch up.
Vandalia scored consistently throughout the win against the Rams on Friday, but too many walks and errors allowed Ramsey to keep within striking distance in the 16-11 victory.
Coach Luke Hohlt said after the game that there were lessons to be learned, and that he believes the players who made mistakes today will grow from them as the season moves along.
The St. Elmo baseball team has had another game canceled due to poor weather conditions, marking the fifth straight game that the Eagles have had called off.
Thursday's game was scheduled at Neoga.
In addition, home games at Mulberry Grove have been canceled for Thursday.
VANDALIA – The revamped South Central Conference debuts this school year, and prior to each season, The Leader-Union will be asking Vandalia's coaches how they think the changes will affect their team.
A list of all of the changes follows.
1) Gillespie and Staunton have replaced East Alton-Wood River and Marquette Catholic.
2) There will no longer be divisional play in any sport, with all teams that used to have divisions to play one game that counts in the conference standings.
VANDALIA – For Gena Nance, the track season has already created memories even though the Lady Vandals have participated in just one indoor meet.
With a team of "genuine athletes" who care about each other's performances, Nance said that how the team came together in the first few weeks of practice is a lasting memory.

Great Game But...
To get started this game is awesome and has a great game mechanic, but I have played this game for a few hours and suddenly my game crashes. I try again and again but it pops up with the base I attack a while ago, and crashes can you please fix this I tell all of my friends about this game and they tell their friends I wish you could please help me thank you
Interesting and fun
We need more building blocks, and new troops but the weapons, armor, and mounts are fine. Larger maps and a fast forward button. Also a campaign mode and make the siege mode less complicated. Plz try adding an evil army with dark troops to battle! Plz read and do!!!!
Love this game, lots of potential
This is such a fun game, I haven't played something like this before. I think it has potential for a lot of things to be added, but I'm happy with what I have here.

One of Chris Meyer's favorite tricks is a technique for adding the glowing highlights and richly saturated colors often associated with footage shot on film. This trick originated as a way to compensate for the flatness of unaltered 3D renders, but it can be used to improve any source video, whether shot on DV, HDV, or even film. The effect can be achieved in many video editing and motion graphics applications using the same basic approach: duplicate the source footage, mix it back on top of itself using blend modes, then apply a blur or similar effect to the duplicate footage. In Adding a Filmic Glow to Your Footage Using Motion, Chris explores how to create and fine-tune this effect in Motion.
- Using the heads-up display in Motion
- Applying blend modes
- Puffing out the highlights
- Balancing shadows and highlights
- Using Levels to focus the effect
- Employing other filters, such as Prism and Bloom
Skill Level Intermediate
Now that we have the basic technique done, I would like to show you a couple of variations and ways that you really dial in custom look. Okay we are back in our 3D render here, which has a few nice spectral highlights that we would really like to emphasize. So once again we'll take our footage, duplicate it, put the top one in Add mode and then go ahead and add an effect such as Gaussian Blur again. Okay, as I increase it you can see that I have got quite a bit of blowout going on here. These spectral highlights in Add mode are way too broad and really overwhelming the image.
I can back off on the Opacity but there is a better way of focusing it. If we had some way of deciding to the spectrum of just the highlights, we can decide which colors will get emphasized. In this case, we'll take our copy of the layer that has Add mode applied to it as well as the Blur and add one more effect, in this case Color Correction > Levels and we are going to after the Gamma adjustment in Levels. Now you won't see that in the HUD, so you will need to bring Inspector forward to play around with it. This center slider determines where the mid-gray point is in our spectral highlight layer. As I move it around I can go ahead and really focus on just a few highlights. Instead of having a broad spectrum blown out, I can say hey, just take the highest values and that's what I want blown out.
Now I'll bring Blur back forward, maybe increase the Blur Amount just to get a little more of puffiness involved here. Then go back to Levels and focus it little bit more. There we go, something like that. Original footage, footage with this technique applied just to very focused highlights. And if we decide those highlights are still too bright, then go ahead and just pull back our output white point and just get just a touch of highlights going on here. Again before and after, really nice way of focusing it. And that Blur effect is still useful, notice without it, we are doing just a very harsh edition in those bright highlights. The Blur helps diffuse the highlights and again give them a nice puffy, slightly overexposed film look thereafter. Now the other important thing to know is you don't have to use just the plain old Gaussian Blur; you can use any other effect on that copy on top, as long as it alters the image in some way. So let's go ahead and delete the copy we have been playing with, make another duplicate and play around with some other effects.
Now, for example, in Motion there are other Blur effects. Blur Defocus for example gives a more camera-like blur as opposed to the smooth Gaussian Blur. Something you may not have considered using, something as say Prism. On footage that does not have a blending mode attached, it just makes this kind of smeary prismatic look. But remember take that copy on top; apply it with a mode such as Soft Light. Now we have something quite different going on. As we go ahead and take the Prism and increase its Amount, we are getting this interesting coloration around the edges with this little bit of halo prismatically glowing off of the edge rather than just a pure colorized image. That's with Soft Light. Let's try something else like say Screen mode. Bit hot, let's go ahead and back it down, there we go. Just a little nice prismatic glow around the edges. Something more intense, we can go to Add mode, get more of a highlight.
If that's too much Blur, we can go ahead and drop of the amount of Prism. There we get this nice little reddish halo on one side, blue halo on the other, kind of nice special effect and it's a nice variation on this filmic look. Let's switch back to our wedding couple and try another effect. I'm just going to duplicate it for now, so we can do a little bit of a before and after comparison. I'm going to try something from a different category, such as Glow > Bloom. Now if you say Bloom by itself, you'd go, this isn't all that attractive; it is creating this posterized blue look. It's creating this really blown out white highlights.
You might think initially it is not that useful of an effect. But let's try it in the context of this technique that we have been practicing. We'll select our layer and choose a Blend Mode, such as say Screen. Now the Bloom is much more subtle; it just is getting a little bit of colored glow around the edges rather than completely taking over the footage and again we can blend it down to taste, maybe something around there. Original shot, shot with Bloom and a Blending Mode attached and now you can se we have got a lot more subtle, lot more interesting of a look here.
Again since this is Motion, which can do a lot of things in real time, you can see what the effects look like the context. So now you know how to create this nice filmic glow in Apple Motion. It is one of our favorite techniques. It is particularly useful when we get a shot from the client that is not particularly exciting. It can give a real high production value look to almost anything. Hope you're able to use it in your work as well!

Sorry Kev.
Not good enough; Not strong enough; although I would give Noble and Trundle 6-8 games on the spin.
We need Championship quality players Kev; at least 5 or 6.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
so who would you buy?
i think both noble and trundle are good enough, but i think both will leave in jan

Well Kev; 6 points over the Xmas Period naturally helps.
Let's see if Styvar can do the business for us but he's going to need time to settle.
Unfortunately; because Mr Lansdown and Mr Johnson are so secretive with informing the Fans how much money we have to spend on improving the side; it's difficult to say who we can buy without knowing how much you got to spend.
It's like me saying to the Wife; go and book a holiday however I'm not going to tell you what our budget is.
Lansdown and Johnson has to be more open with the Fans; he will earn more respect that way and we will have more clarity on what the Reds spending budget really is.
Once we are aware of this and of the wages constraints then we could target the relevant players.
It would be good to have some Premiership experieinced type players but can we afford them?

Beattie - Sheffield United

Photos: Andre Ward Undergoes Shoulder Surgery
Deferring to the recommendation of a noted Bay Area orthopedic specialist after receiving a second opinion on his injured right shoulder, reigning WBA/WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Andre "S.O.G." Ward underwent successful surgery, which will keep him out of action for an indefinite period and has forced the postponement of his highly-anticipated title bout against Kelly Pavlik for a second time. Photos by Squint Photos.
Originally scheduled as an HBO "World Championship Boxing" main event from the Galen Center on the campus of USC on January 26, the bout was rescheduled to March 2nd after the 2004 U.S. Olympic gold medalist, "Super Six" World Boxing Classic tournament winner and 2011 "Fighter of the Year" felt pain in his right shoulder after throwing a punch at sparring partner Tony Hirsch during training in Andre's hometown of Oakland. The original MRI revealed a significant amount of swelling and inflammation, but no injury to the rotator cuff.
However, after a period of rest and rehab resulted in little improvement, Andre sought a second opinion from Dr. Michael Dillingham, for 25 years the team orthopedic surgeon for the San Francisco 49ers and currently for the San Francisco Giants. A subsequent MRI revealed a small tear in Andre's right shoulder capsule and, this past Friday, surgery was performed by Dr. Dillingham at the SOAR Surgicenter in nearby Burlingame. Assisting the doctor on the surgical team were his partners Ken Akizuki (team orthopedist for the Giants) and Joe Donahue (former 49ers assistant team orthopedist and current team physician for Santa Clara University).

Well, as for what you said, this MOC wasn't supposed to be any specific scene. And the characters are just made up (except for Vaders apprentice). The MOC takes place in the interior in the Rouge Shadow as the protagonist tries to find Vader himself but ends up meeting Vader's apprentice and ends up in a duel with him.

I agree, I'm trying to expand the model and give it a better size.
I felt I could improve on the walls too, making more details and a better structure.
Well tomorrow I'm going to post better quality pics and a newly revamped model of Vaders Apprentice. To see if the pictures I take are good quality and if the model is in better detail and structure.

Rooms & Rates
Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 48 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Prometheus Great Location & Reasonable Rates A short walk to Zhongshan Square with the tram stop alongside the building and good eateries in the area. This is convenient. Aloft is no frills and the good location is definitely a bonus. July 6, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Janice95 Good Location and price but need to improve standard decoration of this ALoft in Dalian. the hardware conditions are pretty much the standard setting. however, i do not think the staff is very helpful. my nail got split when i was in the room, i call for staff to borrow a nail clipper or scissors/knife. primarily, the staff who picked my phone said they do not have this tools. then i beg him to lend his office scissors to me coz i was hurting, he said under the hotel regulations, he cannot provide these tools for me. then I asked again for borrowing his scissors, and said he can watch me when i using the scissors. He considered for a while and agreed, but he said he cannot come right now since his is alone now. i do not care how fast the staff send me the scissors, i can bear an reasonable time for waiting. but when he said that, i just feel uncomfortable and neglected. the second bad experience was when i ask the forntdest for a late checkout, he refused me immediatley coz the hotel standard check out time is 12o'clock. then i reminded him that there is a paper in my room stated that as a guest in that room, i am eligible for a late check out. he asked whether i am an Preferred Guest. and i said yes. he finally agreed. i feel sad coz i mentioned my room number when i talked to him, he should be awared that i am eligible for late check out base on the room type i stayed in. December 28, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappyguest2015 This hotel is worse than SPG average 1) wifi is terrible. I have to connect my laptop to 4G network of my phone for my work for the entire stay of 4 days. 2) I wouldn't eat in the hotel buffee again even if the price is cut in half. 3) air conditioning was noisy. Can not sleep well. 4) I was told by the hotel that SPG platinum member program does not fully apply to this hotel?! Isn't it a SPG hotel??? August 10, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by SeanBeijing so much below SPG standards Due to personal reasons, I need to go to Dalian frequently in the past few months and considering location, this hotel fitted. in my second but last stay, I found trash between the TV table and sofa. I complained and the manager told to give me an upgrade for my future stays. in my early May stay, the restaurant was so messy that i could not find a clean table to have breakfast, talked to the manager and was told that they just had a tourist group and did not have enough time to clean up. in my late May stay, as a Platinum member, we had 2 complementary breakfast when i checked in with my mum. however such information was not passed to restaurant, we were stopped and inquired. Again, there was no chef/staff at the noodle counter. after 3 times of visit, i talked to one of the waitress, who eventually prepared the Wanton for us. I note at least two guests were requesting salt but we were told there was none!!! staff said they had an event breakfast in the hotel and chefs were not available. again, untidy tables seemed a norm in this hotel. I had two nights in the hotel, somehow the frontdesk only granted me with one day... June 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by wetravel A GOOD choice in Dalian We booked several rooms at the Aloft Dalian last weekend. It was a school-trip for our son. Had contacted the Hotel before regarding some special requests and received quick and positive communication back from Hotel. All associates are friendly and efficient. A typical Aloft Hotel that has good value and a great central location if you need to be in that part of Dalian. It is not far from the Dalian station and about 30 minutes from the airport. Facilities and room offer all one needs. On our next trip to Dalian we will be back. April 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Philip2014 Excellent Hotel This hotel is located at the downtown, nearby the Zhongshan square. Due to the high occupancy, can't offer free upgrade, but front desk associate is very friendly and helpful, I am sorry I don't know her name, but she looks smart and pretty. The name of all outlets are very creative. This is my first time stay at Aloft, It seems this hotel haven't operator and concierge team, I saw front desk answered guest phone and stored luggage for me, it is real" One-stop" service. The wifi in room sometimes can not connect, but overall this hotel is very excellent. I will be back next time! October 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by James787 Great experiece Very nice hotel and with a convenient location. Feel so relaxed and easy to have a nice sleep. strongly recommended. August 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by wcheung Could hardly met expectations Aloft Dalian is a well decorated hotel located at a excellent place near city center. Swimming pools, bars, in-room facilities are are great and meet Aloft-standard as expected. It should be a great experience here but too many detailed problems making me hardly to give it a rating of "Average". Here they are: 1. Check-in costed me 15 minutes to wait and another 10 minutes to process. There were only 2 staff here at the counter, and there was no difference between normal and SPG Elite line; 2. The only welcome gift for SPG Gold to choose is welcome drink, which was already free during hotel's happy hour; 3. There was only 3 small-size lifts for a 30-floor high hotel. Sometimes when one of them were under maintainance, imagine how long you need to wait; 4. In-room WiFi was really poor! I could hardly connect to WiFi with my Macbook in room and had to work in the lobby in the evening; 5. The breakfast was okay, except that Chinese and Western food are mixed. The used tables were not well cleaned, making me misunderstood that breakfast time had ended when entered. Most of these are acceptable to see in a hostel, but for Aloft, I think they have a lot of room to improve. July 28, 2014

and what did this man "say and do" that would get anyone else killed?
Anonymous Coward 1022003
I will use a analogy and I hope you get it.
Think of this man as a small white Italian man going into the heart of the bronx at 4am.
Now imagine that every single person he passes by he gives them the finger. He sees a group of 13 big and scary looking black guys and he pulls down his pants and moons them. He then walks through the neighborhood cursing everyone out.
Now do you think that this little white guy is going to see 5 am let alone the sunrise? Not only did he see the sunrise, he is on the way to walking out the neighborhood, making it a better place by his presence. Only a few wants to harm him, many are clapping their hands and laughing with something the nwo hates, happyness.
I do not know if he will survive tho, his life hangs in the balance every day.

Gutter Garden: Growing Your Food in a Small Space
Suzanne's solution is inexpensive and practical, of course, but we actually think it's got aesthetic appeal too. We love the look of the long, narrow planter boxes lined up under the window. She shared her solution in the Juneau Empire; you can click over there for the whole story and detailed instructions, but here are a few tips we gleaned:
• Drill plenty of holes in the gutters for drainage.
• The first time you water, allow water to drip between the gutters and the siding (this time only!) in order to wash out any soil that might be trapped against the siding.
• Each time afterwards, water cautiously, with a watering wand or can, to prevent water from becoming trapped against the siding, and to avoid excess drainage... you don't want water pooling up so close to the foundation of the house. (You could also use drip irrigation for even better control.)
We'd love to know if anyone else has tried this. Here's some more inspiration from Apartment Therapy for those looking to grow this year's vegetables in a small space:

Dielectric relaxation and steady-state leakage in low-temperature sputtered thin films89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1325378View Description Hide Description
Dielectric relaxation and steady-state leakage currents were studied over a range of bias voltages for Pt-electroded capacitors in which the 50-nm-thick dielectric layer was sputter deposited at 480 °C. A pronounced polarity dependence in the current–voltage characteristic of the capacitors was observed. Dielectric relaxation in the films showed a Curie–von Schweidler time dependence for intervals of 3–200 s duration after application of a voltage step. The relaxationcurrent density was found to depend linearly on electric field for fields up to 700 kV/cm and nonlinearly at higher fields. In addition to the Curie–von Schweidler relaxationcurrents, a time-dependent leakage current was detected under high voltage bias conditions. An empirical model developed to describe leakage currents in these films is presented.
Microwave frequency ferroelectric domain imaging of deuterated triglycine sulfate crystals89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1337600View Description Hide Description
We have used a near-field scanning microwavemicroscope to image domain structure and quantitatively measuredielectricpermittivity and nonlinearity in ferroelectric crystals at 8.1 GHz with a spatial resolution of 1 μm. We imaged ferroelectric domains in periodically poled and deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) with a signal-to-noise ratio of 7. Measurement of the permittivity and nonlinearity of DTGS in the temperature range 300–400 K shows a peak at the Curie temperature, K, as well as reasonable agreement with thermodynamic theory. In addition, the domain growth relaxation time shows a minimum near We observe coarsening of ferroelectric domains in DTGS after a temperature quench from 360 to 330 K and evaluate the structure factor.
Aging of piezoelectric composite transducers89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1339853View Description Hide Description
The effect of aging on some piezoelectric properties, including and in 1–3 compositetransducers has been evaluated in this article. The spontaneous changes of properties of piezocomposites (lead zirconate titanate/epoxy) and piezoceramic under zero external stress was measured at 5 days and 500 days after poling. The results show that the aging behavior in piezoelectriccomposites is very much dependent on the ceramic content. The composite material behaves similar to a piezoceramic at high volume fraction of ceramic, i.e., greater than 25 vol. %. At low volume fraction of ceramic, however, the rate of aging is much higher in piezoelectriccomposite compared to that of the piezoceramic. At lower than 25 vol. % of ceramic, it was seen that the aging rate increases with decreasing the ceramic content.
Delamination behavior of Pt in a ferroelectric thin-film capacitor89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1326463View Description Hide Description
Silicon dioxide was deposited on a capacitor by the plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor deposition(PECVD) method. We have been investigated the mechanism of blister formation on the PECVDcapacitor. The blisters were observed at the temperature of in atmosphere, while in and Ar atmosphere blisters were not formed even at Hydrogen evolution analysis from the PECVD layer showed a sharp peak near The results indicated that the accumulation of water-vapor pressure developed by chemical reaction between oxygen and hydrogen could be the dominant mechanism of blister formation in PECVDcapacitors.
Relaxation mechanism of ferroelectric switching in thin films89(2001); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1331341View Description Hide Description
The polarization reversal process of tetragonal thin films has been intensively studied using conventional hysteresis and rectangle pulse measurements. Decreasing the voltage level of the pulses significantly slows down the polarization switching to the range of milliseconds. The switching current response shows a Curie–von Schweidler behavior over a broad time range. The transient current and the frequency dependence of the loops of these films compared to the properties of ferroelectricsingle crystals show some similarities but also significant differences. The theoretical models of the classical ferroelectric phase transition and especially the conditions of the pulse measurements in single crystals and thin films are discussed. It leads to the conclusion that it is not the domain wall structure and domain wall motion that determine the polarization reversal but dissipative polarization processes which can take place in both ferroelectric and nonferroelectric high-k dielectric thin films.

Lansing Police say the men, ages 16 and 18, tried to swipe the equipment from two different homes on the 3000 block of Hillcrest around 4 AM Sunday. Police spotted them during the second attempt. The men were caught after a brief chase. Generator theft has become a big problem ever since the lights went out in Mid-Michigan. Darkened homes abandoned by their owners seeking warmth elsewhere have been the primary target of those looking to score big on other items besides generators that were left behind.

Clackamas County Park Series - Morning Ritual LbNA # 6994
|Bookworm (WA)
|Placed Date
|Jan 25 2004
|Estacada, OR
|Planted By
|Sleepy Whippet
|Found By
|Hike Distance
This box's status is unknown. This is a box planted by Sleepy Whippet and adopted by Bookworm. The box has not been confirmed missing or active. 4/20/15
When I began this series it was to hide boxes in the Boring area that are things you do when you are bored. However Boring itself has limited places to hide and since Boring is in Clackamas County this parks series was born.
There are 6 county parks in Clackamas County. They are Barton Park, Metzler Park, Feyrer Park, Eagle Fern Park, Hebb Park and Carver Park. I am hiding a box from this series in each of these parks. When you can show me that you have collected all six boxes I will let you stamp into the Clackamas County Park Super Bonus box that I will carry with me.
Directions: This box is hidden in Eagle Fern Park.
Take I-205 to exit 12 Clackamas/Estacada and turn right onto Hwy 212/224. Proceed 3.2 miles to the 212/224 junction turn right onto Hwy 224 following signs to Estacada. Go 10.4 miles and turn left onto Wildcat Mountain Rd, you will see signs to Eagle Fern Park. Go 2 miles to Eagle Fern Park Rd. turn right. The park is located 2.3 miles on the right side of the road.
There is a $3 charge per vehicle on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Upon entering the park go left. Park at the large A-frame picnic area. Walk thru the A-frame and take a left in front of the second 'trail' sign. Wind around until you see 3 tall cedar trees close together. Between the closest two at the east base of the western most tree lies Morning Ritual.

The Mississippi Board of Education has chosen John Jordan as interim superintendent of schools.
Jordan is a former deputy state superintendent and ex-Oxford school superintendent. He begins his new post Monday.
The move comes after an attorney general's opinion said an interim state superintendent must have the same qualifications as a permanent one, forcing Judy Rhodes to withdraw her name from consideration.
State law requires the state superintendent to have at least a master's degree and five years of administrative experience.
Rhodes has been employed by the state Department of Education for 20 years but does not have a master's degree. She has a bachelor's degree in mathematics and nearly 30 credit hours toward a master's.

By Michael Gerson
WASHINGTON — The culture war is breaking out in American foreign policy. And the main culture warrior is not a ranting televangelist but America's secretary of state.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, as host of June's G-8 meeting in Ontario, has been preparing an initiative to reduce maternal mortality in poor nations. At first, his government implied that neither contraception nor abortion would be part of the proposal. Under pressure, Harper's foreign affairs minister later clarified that the plan "doesn't deal with abortion," but "it doesn't exclude contraception."
Last month, during a political controversy in Canada on the issue, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at a news conference in Quebec. "I've worked in this area for many years," she said. "And if we're talking about maternal health, you cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion."
The Toronto Star described this as a "grenade in the lap of her shell-shocked Canadian hosts."
Clinton's search for a fight on this issue is not the recent norm. Increased development assistance to improve global health has been one of the bipartisan achievements of the last decade — an exception to Washington's general bitterness. Millions are taking AIDS drugs, sleeping under anti-malarial bed nets and getting treatment for tropical diseases because ideology has not been allowed to sabotage good will.
But the political alliance on this issue has always been fragile. Traditionally liberal advocates of global health spending have worked in uneasy alliance with conservatives — mainly non-libertarian social conservatives — who hold a moral view of America's role in the world. This is the Bono-Bush coalition that passed and then reauthorized the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) — an initiative that intentionally avoided the issue of abortion in order to prevent infighting among its wildly diverse supporters.
Clinton's grenade did damage beyond Canada. Liberals need to understand — however strong their own pro-choice convictions — how offensive many conservatives find the global health argument for abortion. It seems like addressing poverty by doing away with the poor; like fighting disease by getting rid of those with diseases. If the Obama administration and global health advocates place abortion rights at the center of their development agenda, they will not only solidify conservative opposition on child and maternal health, they will undermine Republican support for development spending as a whole.
Conservatives also need to show some flexibility to preserve the development coalition. Often, they interpret any mention of "family planning" as a coded reference to abortion. But contraception is an unavoidable part of public health. Effective AIDS prevention is certainly more than just a bowl of condoms at the clinic door — but it includes the use of condoms during high-risk sexual activity. Some on the right were unhappy that the Bush administration distributed nearly 2.4 billion condoms during the first five years of PEPFAR. That is a lot of latex. But sound health policy, based on realism about human nature, required it.
Maternal health is also improved by the availability of voluntary contraception. Women in the United States have a lifetime chance of dying from pregnancy-related causes of about one in 4,800. For women in a country such as Niger, it is about one in seven. Some 60 percent of births in sub-Saharan Africa take place without a health worker present. Contraception allows women, if they choose, to avoid high-risk pregnancies early or late in life, to space births at safer intervals and to limit the number of pregnancies they have during their childbearing years. Americans now generally assume these practices are essential to the creation of happy, healthy families. The same is true for many in the developing world.
Though it has not pleased everyone, the recent consensus on development spending has been pro-life, or at least neutral on abortion, and pro-contraception — the position Harper has taken and Clinton has attacked. Challenging either of these commitments may scratch an ideological itch but it is likely to divide a movement, which could impose a cost on the poor and the sick that no one intends.

Richardson took his second-innings tally to four wickets by claiming one this morning, making it 12 for the match for the second outing in a row after claiming a dozen in the victory over Kent.
The home side had the visitors staring at defeat on 160 for seven at lunch, trailing by 63 runs in their attempt to avoid an innings defeat in a rain-hit match.
Gloucestershire were indebted to eighth-wicket pair Gareth Roderick and James Fuller, who were both unbeaten on 27 and had put on a stand of 53.
Darren Stevens completed his century as Kent took a first-innings lead of 84 runs against Essex at Chelmsford.
Stevens went on to score 136 out of Kent's 296 in reply to Essex's 212 on the final day of a match heading for a draw. By lunch, Essex were 18 without loss to trail by 66.
Liam Dawson hit an unbeaten half-century as Hampshire made inroads into the first-innings 295 of Lancashire at Southampton.
Dawson reached lunch on day three on 55 not out and with the 43 contributed by Michael Carberry the home side were 107 for two at the break, trailing by 188 runs.
Scott Borthwick scored his second half-century of the match as Durham pressed home the advantage in their Division One clash with Middlesex at the Riverside.
Borthwick was unbeaten on 55, to add to his earlier 52, from a total of 177 for four to give his side a lead of 240.

As it happens to be, I need a 100% UV blocker because of an autoimmune disease I have.
This filter is quite expensive tho, depending on the amount of windows you want to cover.
From what I know, there are loads of cheap filters that will filter out 99% of UV-B [the one you want], but I don't know how effective they are compared to the 100% ones.
Do a Google search on UV[-B] filters, and see what you can come up with.
More info: they are stickers that you have to apply yourself, or have somebody apply them for you.

Thanks for the info! I did some research and it said something about glass blocking UV-B, but not UV-A. Maybe that's the one I need. Either way, I'm sure some type of UV-blocking window film will help stop LEGO bricks from fading.

That certainly is a problem. I have the same issue, to a degree. There's a good sized bay window where I have some displayed, I just keep the blinds closed. Sure, the room isn't as bright, but I know my LEGO aren't going to be damaged in the long run.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 12:16 AM
My models in my man cave, which barely gets any sun light at all! My 3 PC screens don't like sunlight :D. So lego does not suffer too. I got blinds up in the room 24/7. It's not like we getup sunlight in Ireland anyway.
OP, why not to put a shelf in t the part of room, which gets the least punt of direct sunlight or just get blinds?

How well the pieces keep their colour also depends on what batch they originally came from. Two days ago I dug out some old pieces for a set from my childhood - there was a white pair of car doors in there, and I know for a fact that they're from the same set, and they've been kept together at all time since the set was new more than 30 years ago - yet one is white and the other looks much more like tan. This is probably because they were molded from plastic from different sources, that have stood the test of time differently.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 04:44 PM
It seems a bit neurotic (and probably is) though I find it reduces my anxiety regarding the whole thing a bit. If LEGO wasn't so expensive and only manufactured for limited amounts of time, I probably wouldn't be nearly as concerned. I suppose you could say I deserve it for having material things hold such an important place in my life...

Every set I have, I build, will display for maybe a few days sometimes hours, then they get disassembled and put into either containers that can close tight, or in ziploc bags. I do the same with all my manuals.
Then I put them in a closet which closes really well, so all will 'keep fresh' if you will.
The reason for this is simple and stupid: I smoke.

This is what the sets are like today. The red, blue, yellow, black seem to be ok. The old gray looks faded. The white seems to be mixed, some yellowed and some stayed white. Some of the transclear are not as transclear. They seem to be ones I left greasy fingerprints on. I notice that the tires on the fire trucks seems to have dissolved an imprint into the base plate. I probably should have moved the trucks around instead of letting them stayed in the same spot for years on end.
I might as well leave them out to enjoy them. I figure when I die, my estate will probably sell them off as no one else in the family appears to be an AFOL.

What you can do is get normal bookcases,measure the front and get plexiglass and some clamps that you can still remove when needed and secure the plexiglass to the front of the bookcases.

Obviously that does not solve the issue of larger sets, but i have no room to display many of them anyway. I'd like to but unfortunately there is no space so they get carefully put into boxes and stored away for when I want them. As it happens the boxes that LEGO use the ship stuff in are really nice and usually big enough to get several large sets in to store in the attic. I wish I had more room to put some out but I just do not. If i did though I guess I'd keep them out of direct sunlight.
As for heat, although it is not that hot, I do have a section of railway track that is ballasted running around the back of our chairs in the living room. (It is the only bit of rail I can keep up.) It is out of the way and a real pain to get to when I want to set the trains up a loop on special occasions. Anyway the point being that this runs right under the radiator in the living room. It has been there for about a year without any detriment to being next to a heater that is on and off all the time. I guess it is within about 15cm to 20cm away from the rdiator? It has not shown any warping or other damage, although admittedly it is only heat as out of the sunlight.
Posted 01 January 2013 - 11:53 PM
But it all comes down to how well you want to protect your sets, and how easily you want to be able to access them. Having a room dedicated (at least mostly) to Lego is good as you can block off or treat windows, cover up vents so that dust doesn't get blown into the room, and close the door and turn off the lights whenever you don't need to be in there. Having Lego in bedrooms and living rooms is the worst, as that's where the most dust builds up from people being/passing through. If your Lego is in an area like that, consider investing in shelving or display cases with glass doors. This allows you to see all the sets while providing protection from dust.
Just keep in mind that dust can be cleaned off, while discolouration from air and light is nearly irreversible. It's my philosophy that Lego should be looked at and played with, so I have all my Lego built and on display in a room with UV resistant film on the windows, and the sets themselves are all in cases with glass doors to protect from dust. I can access the sets easily, but they're pretty well protected too.

Posted 02 January 2013 - 06:31 AM
That window tinting isn't a bad idea. Right now, I don't worry about sun. The room my sets are in doesn't have any windows. I was always battling dust. Does anyone use compact air purifiers in their home?

Posted 02 January 2013 - 10:44 PM
One of the things we shouldn't underestimate is the damage the oils in our skin can do to plastics. Particularly when it comes to yellowing. An occasional nice wash with some sort of domestic oxy action fabric whitening solution like 'Vanish' keeps bricks nice and fresh and clean.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 02:42 AM
TheLegoDr, on 02 January 2013 - 09:40 PM, said:
Light definitely does play a factor, though there are so many variables at work. I have a lot of old sets with white parts that got yellowed. With these sets in particular, it was only the sides of the bricks facing the light that got discoloured. This was the case for about 90% of my sets that got discoloured.
With the other 10%, parts became discoloured whether they were directly facing the sun or not. And even with those sets, the pieces of the same colour must have come from different batches as some of the parts were discoloured, and some weren't.
All I know for certain is that within the past 10ish years (ever since I seriously starting trying to protect my Lego), I haven't had any more problems with discolouration.

Hibernation is really only a feature to use on laptops / tablets. So DO NOT use this guide on a laptop or tablet.
Turning off hibernation automatically deletes the hibernation file.
The short version is this:
1) Open a command prompt
2) Type "powercfg /h off"
That's it.
For the less quick or confident here are a few screenshots to help:
1) For Windows XP or 7 users Click Start then click Run (or hold down the Windows key and press R)
2) Type CMD in the Run Window
3) For Windows 8 or 8.1 Right-Click in the bottom left corner and choose Command Prompt
4) In the command prompt windows type
cd \
to get to the root of your system drive
5) Type
dir /a
to show all the files in the drive
6) If hibernation is enabled you will see a file called "hiberfil.sys" that is up to the same size as your RAM
7) Type
powercfg /h off
to disable hibernation
8) Type
dir /a
to show the files in the drive again
9) You should see that the "hiberfil.sys" file is gone and you have gained more disk space
10) If there was no hiberfil.sys file in the first place you may not have been in your system drive, or hibernation was already disabled – running step 6 will do no harm if you want to try it to be sure anyway
11) Type Exit to quit the command prompt
While these days on a machine with TB of hard disk space a few GB might seem inconsequential, the hiberfil.sys file can often exist on virtual machines - Think of wasting 1 or 2GB per virtual machine! If you run a few test networks on the same system as I do it soon adds up, and you wonder where that 20GB went to.

Nous avons apprécié l'appartement proposé par Luis aussi bien pour son confort que pour sa situation dans Lisbonne. Il est clair, bien décoré et parfaitement entretenu ; tout y est pour un agréable séjour (lave vaisselle, four micro-ondes, …). Nous vous le recommandons car vous pouvez rejoindre rapidement à pied tous les moyens de transports qui vous serons utiles pour visiter la ville.
Nous remercions Luis pour son sympathique accueil en Français ; le temps nous a manqué pour faire un peu plus connaissance.
Great place, very clean and comfortable. Location absolutely super: 3 minutes walk to Commerciou.
Rui is a very kind host. Emails before and his information during our stay were very clear and helpful.
We recommend the place and host.
This is a very elegant, light and airy apartment and really central, so ideal for exploring Lisbon. It is in a fairly busy street, but the double glazing is very effective and we were so tired from exploring the city every day anyway that we had no trouble sleeping - possibly also helped by the very comfortable bed. All basic amenities you might need are directly on the doorstep, and there is a market a short walk away. A perfect pied-à-terre for a break in Lisbon.
We stayed 5 days in Rui's charming apartment. Bed, kitchen, bathroom - everything was very good.
The location is fantastic for exploring the city, everything is very close.
The public transport can be reached in a few minutes.
It was a wonderful stay and we will definitely come again.
Rui is very friendly and helpful.
Thanks Rui, see you soon!
We've had a great couple of days in Lisboa and really enjoyed our stay at Rui's apartment. Its greatest benefit is the perfect location: Right in the middle of the Bairro Alto and Baixa, 2 minutes from the river Tejo and just two blocks from the Mercado municipal and a couple of nice bars and restaurants. The apartments was very clean, the kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee machine and a dishwasher which was very convenient. The bed is very comfortable and the ceiling is very high which makes the whole apartment even bigger.
If you are travelling to relax in Lisboa, this may not be the best choice as - due to its central location - it is quite noisy if the windows are open, also at night. Other than that, there is only positive things to say about the flat :)
Thank you Rui :)
The apartment is very nice clean and spacious. optimal location you can walk and want to visit more sites have removed an entire bus line to a step, Ruis was very cordial and friendly, my flight arrived a little late but I was waiting to surrender and give me the keys indications Thanks
Rui's apartment is very centrally located in Biaxa on the first floor in a typical street with small shops; some souvenir, but also original shops with typical Portuguese products. Very near to the Praca do Comercio, the "Tejo", the elegant quarters of Chiado and not far from Alfama. It is a a beautiful, charming apartment with three French balconies, high doors. It has a very good bathroom, a charming kitchen with all mod cons and a good bedroom besides the sitting room. We had a great stay there although there was quite some traffic noise until quite late at night.
Rui is a great host, very proud of his apartment and certainly with good right! We loved our stay.
