Tubal Ligation Reversal
In many cases, women choose not to have any more children. They decide on tubal ligation as a form of birth control - and then they change their minds. Tubal ligation, commonly referred to as "getting your tubes tied," involves closing the fallopian tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus. The tubes can be cut, clipped, tied, cauterized or non-surgically blocked.
Changing Your Mind After Tubal Ligation
Many women change their minds after the surgery is done. In fact, some 25% of women who get their tubes tied then want to get a tubal reversal. The most common reason is a change in perspectives. Changes in situation are another reason: the death of a child, the death of your spouse or re-marriage may all signal women to opt for tubal reversal surgery.
If you do change your mind and want to conceive, it is recommended that you seriously consider tubal ligation reversal as opposed to in vitro fertilization (IVF). Tubal ligation reversal has a higher pregnancy rate than IVF. It is also less costly.
Tubal Reversal Surgery
Reversal surgery is very similar to ligation surgery, except that the tubes are unclamped during tubal reversal. The success of this procedure does depend on whether your tubes were cauterized; reversal may be unfeasible as the lining of the fallopian tubes may have been damaged.
In the US, both clinics and hospitals offer this procedure. Some hospitals, however, require that patients remain hospitalized for two to five days after the procedure and full recovery can take from four to six weeks.
More than two thirds of women who undergo tubal ligation reversal report conceiving within a year. In fact, many women are able to get pregnant within six months after the procedure. There is, however, a higher risk for an ectopic pregnancy after surgery. As soon as you notice late menstruation, take a test to ascertain whether you're pregnant. If the test is positive, get your doctor to perform a test to confirm that this is not a tubal pregnancy.

A surprise snowstorm that came and went early Monday made for a slick morning commute for many Durango-area drivers, especially on North College Drive where multiple vehicles slid on a sheet of ice – some hitting other cars.
A cold front dropped into Southwest Colorado early Monday, leaving up to an inch of snow in Durango – the first measurable snow of the year in town.
Florida Road was backed up with bumper-to-bumper traffic Monday morning as drivers took extra precaution. It was a white-knuckle drive for drivers going up and coming down North College Drive, which was not plowed and not sanded as of 9 a.m. Many cars slid into curbs, spun their tires and crashed into other cars.
"We kind of got hit with this storm," said Lisa Schwantes, spokeswoman for Colorado Department of Transportation. "We didn't quite realize we were going to get the snowfall that we got."
Schwantes said CDOT crews mobilized as soon as it became apparent the light snowfall and freezing temperatures were going to create problems on the roads.
"We have crews assigned around-the-clock," she said. "We were out there this morning."
The slick conditions caused a semi-truck and passenger vehicle to spin off the road at Farmington Hill on U.S. Highway 550, south of Durango. It caused the road to be closed about an hour, Schwantes said, but there were no reported injuries.
As of 11 a.m., Schwantes said the roads were improving.
Gerald Schaerer, who has lived in Durango since 1966, said the condition of streets Monday morning was "shocking." He saw no snowplows, no sanders and few police officers. He cited three possible reasons for the no-show: The city has given City Manager Ron LeBlanc too many pay raises, and doesn't have enough money to plow and sand streets; the city is punishing residents for refusing to pass Ballot Question 2A, which would have raised taxes for streets and infrastructure; or the city is just inept.
"There is no excuse for the city not to have some sanders out," Schaerer said. "The streets are just horrendous. It's shocking to me."
LeBlanc said snowplows were out and sanding, but he did not know what time they were dispatched. The snow was "barely minimal," he said.
"We knew the weather was coming. We didn't know if it was going to be significant or not. The weather predictions are usually off more than they're on."
Dwayne Valdez with S&R Affordable Towing said call volume was 50 percent higher than typical Monday.
Valdez said one of the most difficult tow rescues was for a Cadillac that slid across two lanes of traffic on Colorado Highway 172 and landed in a ditch. He said despite the complexity, he freed the car in about 10 minutes.
"It's been a pretty crazy day," Valdez said.
The system was expected to move out of the region by Monday afternoon, said Megan Stackhouse, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
"Things are already winding down," Stackhouse said at 7:30 a.m. "The system is going to be exiting the area through the afternoon."
A ridge of high pressure over the western United States is expected to prevent additional moisture from entering the region until at least Saturday night, she said.
Durango School District 9-R issued a notice Monday morning saying schools are open, but urged parents and staff to be cautious commuting to school.
"This weather system caught many by surprise," the message said.
The winter-like weather brought freezing temperatures. The high Monday was expected to be in the mid- to upper-30s with lows in the teens tonight. Temperatures will rebound with highs in the mid-50s by mid-week, and lows in the low 20s.

MJS 015 My JS Story Justin Searls
My JS Story Justin Searls
On this week's episode of My JS Story, Charles Max Wood interviews Justin Searls. Justin was on the show on episode 38 and 226in the show. He co-founded Test Double, a software agency which helps developers improve the quality of the software they write. Want to know how he got into this career path? Stay tuned!
Playing with Casio
At the age of 10, Justin flew to Florida with his dad, who ran a condo located at the beach. Their luggage, unfortunately, got lost in the flight, resulting in them having no swimwear for three and a half days. He stayed in the condo only having his backpack with him. One of the things he had inside was his Casio calculator, which he played with as past time. He came up with little games such as guessing the number. He told his dad about it and got a very good feedback from him. Later on, he added features and soon created an ephemeral checkers game. He had no knowledge about the basics of programming and everything was just self-directive.
Entering into Professional Programming
Justin was so much into computer games when he was a young boy. When he went to college, he took Computer Science without second thoughts. However, he soon learned that Computer Science does not equal Application Development. The things taught to him by his professors were not very practical for building applications. He had his first hands-on experience in programming when he worked at their campus library. He was asked to work on their flash base citation generator which was meant to help those who were doing research for their bibliography. Millions of people used it and its feedback led him to build web applications that could provide a free useful service to other people.
Relationship with JavaScript
As someone who has never done an old school style pre-framework PHP 3 app, you would notice a syntactical resemblance to JSx and React. In Justin's early days in JavaScript, he had no idea what was happening on either machine -- server or front end. Everything inside the same file was mixed up in a nonsensical order and to detangle was the key. Over time, he found out that JavaScript was a good way to solve problems for people. However, he did not have a lot of autonomy when he did jobs that had a top-down hierarchy control. He recalls an experience where every single Java library he wanted to pull off had to get approved by a committee. He ended up building for them an earlier Ajax application which uses JavaScript for services. That was a path for him to record productivity.

Two days before leaving Manila, I had lunch with Nina, my former thesis adviser, and Dom, my former officemate. It's been more than 5 years since we all got together and there was a lot of catching up to do. And Nina picked Ninyo, a small restaurant off the busy thoroughfare of Katipunan Ave that is all about French-Japanese fusion cuisine.
The BF and I arrived 15 mins late and after initial his, hellos, and besos, we went straight to the business of picking what to eat.
While we were deciding which one of the many enticing entrees to order, the waiter gave us 2 slices of soft bread and herbed butter. It was sitting there for a while (2 minutes), before I buttered my first slice and I was pleasantly surprised that the bread was still warm.
And then our appetizer, the Wasabi Fried Oysters, arrived. It's six pieces of deep fried wasabi-encrusted oysters with citrus mayo dressing and caviar (Lumpish caviar was how it was stated in the menu. What's lumpish caviar? A lump of caviar but not really?)
The crust was not as spicy as I expected and I only tasted hint of wasabi. David spoiled me on this one when he said it was one of his favorites in Ninyo. I was about to say "Oh it's ok" until I reached the part with mayo dressing on it, and then everything made sense. The crunchy crust combined with the citrus mayo dressing, for the lack of a better comparison, reminds me of dipping crispy french fries in mayo. And pretty much everyone enjoys that.
The first serving I ate was a little too oily for my taste but the second one I shared with the BF was without the excess fat.
Our entrees came a little bit later, because it took a long time for Dom and Nina to grab their second piece of oyster, and the wait staff did not want to serve entrees while there are still pieces of appetizers left. After they took the oyster plate, our main dish came almost immediately.
I ordered Duck Confit which was a leg of duck confit with mango pilaf onigiri, balsamic teriyaki sauce, grilled fruit skewer (grape, watermelon, melon, pineapple) crispy potato strings, and tomato in confit. Wow, that's a lot of components.
The tomato in confit had a savory taste with little pricks of saltiness brought on by the small amount of salt that was spread out on its surface.
As an edible decorative element, I like the idea of the grilled fruit skewer. I can't really say anything else flavor-wise because it's just fruits. Skewered. Then grilled. Voila.
Crispy potato strings gave me something to munch on while delaying my gratification (eating the duck). It provided a smooth transition from the soft texture of the tomatoes and fruits to the crispy leg of duck.
Ah now the duck. The outer shell was crunchy. A little too crunchy in some areas that I thought were somewhat dry. But hey this is my first time to eat duck confit so I'm not sure whether it's supposed to be like that. Good thing I like crunchy poultry.
With each forkful made up of a piece of duck, some mango pilaf, and the balsamic teriyaki sauce, the sensation was really that of a fusion. Sweet, savory, with some sour notes, all the necesary components for an Asian dish over a French cooking technique foundation.
I wish I can write in detail how the others felt about their food, but we were too engrossed catching up that they never really talked about their food. Here are some tidbits though.
The BF had the US Hanging Steak with pumpkin risoni and buttered vegetables. He was complaining that his "risotto" did not taste like risotto. Well dear BF, it's because it's not! It was pumpkin risoni (thank you Google). He did finish his plate ahead of everybody. One because he never really spoke a lot. Two, deep in his indignant heart, he probably actually liked what he ordered.
Dom ordered the Sauteed Seafood Medley with Wasabi Coconut Sauce. Because he was sensitive to spicy food, he asked the waiter if he could have the wasabi on the side and the kitchen complied.
Nina ordered the Grilled Cream Dory Filet. Dory. Yeah Nemo's friend. Hers had a foam on the side that of course brought out the "Ooh! Foam!" from her.
As for desserts, the BF and I shared this chocolate ice cream + meringue slice. I can't remember the name exactly but it ended with Brav. Help anyone? I really loved it and would order it again when I come back to Manila.
Dom ordered the Mango Pavlova, which had more meringue than mango much to his disappointment because he really wanted the mangoes. But I don't think he found it difficult to polish off.
Nina had the Trio of Crème Brulée. Made her wish for a kitchen blow torch (I am adding this to Christmas 2010 shopping list).
Regarding the service, the wait staff made themselves scarce when they are not serving ergo more privacy for us as we chatted about anything and everything. Food was on time, the entrees were warm, and the desserts cold. I guess we received excellent service that day as we were the only patrons in the restaurant that cloudy Sunday.
Overall, I liked my lunch at Ninyo. Had I stayed in Manila, I can picture myself dining here with my HS girlfriends for our monthly meetups. I will have to wait another 1.5 years for the opportunity to try their other dishes.

I apologize for the quality of the photos. My point and shoot can only do so much under the dim indoor lighting of the restaurant. Photos have been GIMPed to perfection 🙂

Today we have 60,000 live sheep stuck in the supply chain and people everywhere are asking, where does the Turnbull Government stand on the live sheep trade?
They say they support it but they seem to be killing it in a slow and painful way which is making animal welfare standards worse and is certainly bad for farmers. Now Labor has been consistent. We want to phase out the live sheep trade but we want to do so in a way which does no harm to sheep meat producers. We want to help them on a transition to something better, to value adding and creating jobs here in Australia. But the Turnbull Government has no plan for our farmers and when it cuts off the supply chain so quickly and without warning, it does harm both to farmers and harm to animal welfare. I saw the Deputy Prime Minister this morning talking about ESCAS. ESCAS is the assurance system put in place by a Labor Government but ESCAS does not cover the supply chain on the voyage or up to the voyage. This is about ASEL, a different regulatory regime that should have been reviewed three years ago but wasnt reviewed because of this Government.
Everything Barnaby Joyce did as a Minister was condoned by this Prime Minister. What this Prime Minister needs to do now is allow the Parliament to express its will on the live sheep trade. We have the penalties Bill which was urgent but appears not so urgent now. It could come into the House of Representatives this week and be voted on. I will be moving my amendment to phase out the trade and the Prime Minister should allow that Bill to come on and let Members vote on my amendment. If the amendment fails, we will pass the penalties Bill. There is also the Sussan Ley Bill and the Bill sponsored by Derryn Hinch in the Senate. There are plenty of opportunity for the Prime Minister to allow MPs and Senators to express their view on the live sheep trade and this week they should be given that opportunity.

AGM Elections
The Executive Committee of the Association of Open University Graduates is democratically elected by its current membership. Each post can be held for a three year period and one third of the Executive Committee demit office each year in rotation in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum and Articles and Standing Orders.
Posts due for election are advertised in the previous Winter's OMEGA and members are invited to submit nominations. Ballot papers for postal voting are then supplied with the Spring edition of OMEGA.
When an elected member resigns before the end of their term of office or no candidate was nominated for election, then by-elections are also held, governed by the same regulations.
Elections for candidates to take up office from the end of the 2015 AGM on Saturday 9th May 2015 have taken place. The full Returning Officer's Report dated 17th April 2015 was read out at the AGM on 9th May 2015 at the Celtic Royal Hotel, Caernarfon. All those who have been successful in a full term election are eligible to serve for three years, whilst those standing for a By-election brought about by the previous need for mid-term co-option serve a shorter period to complete the normal three year cycle.
However having already notified all the candidates, we can now announce that the following members were duly elected to the following positions:
Chairman: Margaret Stobirski (2015-2018)
Publicity Officer: Pamela Pearce (2015- 2018)
Executive Representative for Region 05 – East Midlands – Ramsey Hertzog (2015-2016)
Executive Representative for Region 09 – North – Jean McKenna (2015-2018)
The Relevant reference relating to the cycle for election from Standing Orders is shown below:
- In accordance with Resolutions passed at the 1998 AGM, the posts on the Executive Committee are divided into three groups as follows:
- Starting with the 1999 Elections each of these three groups is elected in turn for a three year term of office, and this three year cycle then repeats until further notice. That is, Group 1 elected in 1999, Group 2 elected in 2000, Group 3 elected in 2001, Group 1 elected in 2002, and so on.
Group 1. Treasurer, Development Officer.
Executive Representatives R02, R03, R04 and R13.
Group 2. Chairman, Publicity Officer.
Executive Representatives R08, R09, N11 and N12.

Posted by Erik Svensson
After about two weeks in Texas, around its capital Austin, I am heading home to Sweden again, after a very nice visit to my colleagues at Section for Integrative Biology at University of Texas. This department is certainly one of the strongest in ecology, evolution and behaviour in the US, and I can strongly recommend a visit here. Interestingly, they do not have any bird research at all, but most empirical work is on fish on insects, and the department is particularly strong in animal behaviour, sexual selection, neurobiology and evolutionary population genetics. This is the second time I visit, and I gave a talk already in spring 2003, nine years ago. Remarkably, almost all who attended my talk then were here this time as well, including Mark Kirkpatrick, Mike Ryan and legendary lizard evolutionary ecologist Eric Pianka.
I also met with some new folks, which have arrived since 2003, including PhD student Eben Gehring who works in the lab of Molly Cummings, and who does research on Ischnura-damselflies and evolutionary ecology professor Dan Bolnick, with whom I share many research interests, including the evolution of assortative mating and its consequences. Tonight, I am going to dinner with Scott Edwards, who is also visiting from Harvard this same week as I am here, and who will be the opponent of PhD-student Anna Runemark in our lab on May 25 next month.
Apart from Monday, this week, when I gave my talk, I have spent most time in the field, looking for and researching on Texas odonates. You can see one particularly stunning species that I saw here. Texas is especially species-rich, as half of North America's species occur here, more than 250 species, and several tropical elements from Mexico and Central America. As a comparision, Sweden has about 55 species, less than a fifth of Texas (although it should be said that Texas is slightly bigger than Sweden - everything is bigger in Texas, actually!). It is good to keep in mind that biodiversity is quite low in Europe, mainly due to the effects of past ice ages, and perhaps our faunas have not yet even been saturated, as re-colonziation from the last Ice Age might still be ongoing?

The Rolent Sewers is the first dungeon in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, and it is the tutorial section of the game for the player. It is situated in the City of Rolent and it is part of two Bracer missions in the first installment.
The area is where the final test Estelle Bright and Joshua Bright completes to finally get their promotion from apprentice to a Junior Bracer. The test involves Estelle and Joshua going through the sewers and defeating all the monsters on the way to retrieve 2 small boxes to bring back to Scherazard. If the 2 small boxes are hampered with in any way or false, Estelle and Joshua fail their test. Fortunately, Joshua keeps Estelle's curious side from going too far and they succeed their mission.

AB InBev shelves planned US$9.8B Asia Pacific unit IPO
Bloomberg News,
AB InBev's Hong Kong IPO Faces Potential Delay on Pricing Struggle
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV suspended what would have been the year's largest initial public offering, citing market conditions for pulling plans for its Asia Pacific unit to raise as much as $9.8 billion.
The world's biggest brewer said in a statement that it has decided for now not to proceed with the IPO of Budweiser Brewing Company APAC Ltd. People familiar with the matter said earlier that the company was struggling to price its shares in Hong Kong on Friday.
"The company is not proceeding with this transaction due to several factors, including the prevailing market conditions," AB InBev said in the statement. "The company will closely monitor market conditions, as it continuously evaluates its options to enhance shareholder value, optimize the business and drive long-term growth, subject to strict financial discipline."
AB InBev's American depositary receipts fell as much as 4.9 per cent, closing down 3 per cent to US$86.94 in New York trading.
While the beer business has gone flat globally, it's been booming in parts of Asia. AB InBev, the maker of Stella Artois, Corona and Hoegaardenhad, seen splitting off one of its growth motors as a way to woo local partners. A separate Asian unit would have made it easier to form tie-ups involving shareholdings and stake swaps in a region where revenue has almost quintupled this decade.
China's Brewers
Budweiser Brewing APAC, which was seen as possibly achieving a market value to rival Heineken NV, is the biggest foreign brewer in China and trails only China Resources Beer Holdings Co., maker of the country's Snow brand, the top-selling brew by volume.
Budweiser Brewing APAC's decision to halt its share sale comes after Swiss Re AG announced on Thursday it was suspending an IPO of its US$4.1 billion ReAssure Group Plc unit, citing weak investor demand.
AB InBev's Asia unit was offering 1.63 billion shares in its IPO at HK$40 to HK$47 each, its prospectus shows. That range valued the unit at 28.5 to 33.5 times consensus 2020 earnings, above the ratios for both Heineken and Carlsberg A/S.
Hoai Ngo, a senior credit analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said expectations had been "a little too lofty" for the listing.
"We thought the valuations they gave in the range were too high to begin with," Ngo said. "When they were pricing the IPO with a mid-twenties multiple, it was probably a little bit too high."
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley were leading the offering. One goal of the IPO was to pay off some of AB InBev's US$108 billion in debt.
Uber No. 1
The IPO -- even at the bottom of its targeted range -- would have topped Uber Technologies Inc.'s US$8.1 billion listing, which remains the biggest globally this year.
IPOs in the U.S. remain on track for the best year since 2014, with more than US$32 billion raised in 95 listings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The U.S. surge was driven largely by so-called tech unicorns, startups valued at US$1 billion or more, many of them going public after years of investor anticipation. Those companies included Uber's smaller ride-hailing rival Lyft Inc., with its US$2.34 billion listing in March, and the image-sharing website Pinterest Inc., which raised US$1.64 billion in its IPO.
Globally, 668 IPOs have raised US$86 billion this year. That's less than half of the totals in 2018 and 2017.
The Budweiser Brewing APAC IPO would have almost doubled the amount raised in 87 other Hong Kong listings this year. This year's total of US$10.6 billion, meanwhile, is unlikely to approach last year's US$37.6 billion mark, the highest since 2010.

If you are not familiar with Pulse it is a news reader and has been available on mobile devices for quite some time, but only recently moved into the desktop and here on Windows 8 now. The interface you get here is nearly an exact clone of the desktop version you can use at this location http://pulse.me.
It is a reader that combines all your feeds into a mosaic. If you have not previously used it, you will naturally have to add feeds to it. As you can see I have some categorized though the initial view combines all your feeds in order of appearance. This desktop/Windows 8 view is quite different from that presented on my Android device. It means you will go by what catches your eye visually rather than the title of the article.
I'm rather indifferent to it, it doesn't make me say "wow", but nor does it make me say "why didn't I think of that?". It is usable but just a little too mixed up. If you prefer a slightly more ordered view you can choose them in the upper right (2 choices). You can also look at specific feeds by clicking on the category on the left and choosing that feed. So you don't have to stick with the initial view.
It provides notifications, but here is where a setting really is needed. Every time I picked a source I was flooded with notifications for articles that just appeared. Why do I need notifications when I'm in the app itself? Just highlight the new articles or something like that. I know notifications can be turned off but I'd be fine with them more when not in the app.
You can add additional feeds quite easily just by clicking on "Add Content. You'll get a category listing and the ability to search. It slides in from the right and I think has quite a good selection. You can add Facebook, Instagram and Twitter even to name a few other sources but may not all be supported in the app (only tried Facebook – interesting how you can sign in with it, but it doesn't support the feed). I also found my feed without having to type in a URL, just searched for it. It is shown below as the second choice. Click the + sign and it was added into whichever category I wanted.
Interesting how it shows a snippet of a recently added post above but not the most recent. Upon adding it though it had the most recent information. My feed is shown below in Pulse.
Frankly viewing my posts I like them in this jumbled view, it gives quite a good look at the various posts and you can easily find one that fits your fancy. I wish I could choose by default to have a certain view for certain feeds not have to change it for each feed or leave it alone and sometimes not like the view. One thing I do like is the image fades when it is a post I have read in the feed. It definitely helps you track ones you have viewed. The content though only goes back about 2 weeks in some feeds, like mine, but most just keep going and going. Perhaps a limitation on added feeds but not an issue since primarily you want to read new articles using an app like this.
Articles pop in front of the app essentially as you would normally see them. I do like how it is in the same format as posted here on WordPress but it certainly is outside normal Windows 8 conventions. Continuing with that it has sharing icons on the left of the article, just like its desktop counterpart, though they do open up the Share charm. There are two that work separate from the Share charm, the star is for saving an article and the 'Aa' button to choose from two different reading modes, 3 sizes and two fonts. I prefer the default font but good to provide these options, I like customizability. The navigation arrows in the upper right of the article allow you to advance to the next article (or go back) without having to close the view.
Search – not used. Share – as mentioned you can activate share with the icons in the article but it also works using the charm directly. It supports Twitter, Facebook, Mail and various other apps you might have but I was surprised to see Smart Shopping in there. Settings – there are no settings in the charm. There is a separate settings gear icon in the lower left corner where your picture is. You can't change much there and nothing like default views, etc.
It works perfectly in one-third view. You can access all the content just as easily as in full screen. You can even add new content, just click the blue "P" to go to the category listing and it is there, and works just as well though you can't search for a feed. Although the sharing icons appear in the article view, they do not work in one-third view. This wasn't totally unexpected. Clearly some though was given to making sure this view was usable.
It has a live tile, but I only saw it active in the larger view. The Pulse icon being fairly easy to distinguish though no article titles were providing just images.
I like the assortment of feeds and ease of selecting an article and reading it. The design though will not be loved by all. I find it breaks with Windows 8 design, which isn't totally a bad thing. While I'm usually on the side to prefer the traditional (if we can say that) Windows 8 look, an app needs to stand out from the crowd and Pulse News certainly accomplishes that feat. It depends on how you like to read your news.
I recommend it for its versatility and unique visual view and you can sync with your mobile device as long as you use the same login information (in my case Facebook but you can use email as well). This ability to sync makes it highly recommended even if I'm not a big fan of the jumbled view.

Vehicle Lights: Is LED A Good Choice?
There are plenty of reasons why a person may decide that they want to buy a car. Some people may just be tired of public transportation while others may get a new job and need a car for their commute. Regardless, getting a new vehicle is a big investment that has to be taken seriously. Buying a new car is definitely an investment that you make for the long term and you have to really think about how much money you want to spend. There are plenty of people that will save up money for several years before they are going to be able to afford buying a car.
Something that you can do in order to ensure that you have the best vehicle that you are looking for is make some of those small changes that will help you have a customized vehicle that you really can love and be proud of. When you are looking to give your car a really unique type of appearance, you might want to consider using LED driving lights. Although having LED driving lights is specifically for your headlights, you can also have LED lighting in other areas of the car as well. It really depends on what you are looking to do.
You are going to be able to get LED driving lights as your headlights and you will find that they are great for people that don't want to have to change their headlights as often. Overall, LED driving lights, as well as LED lights in general, are able to last upwards of 100,000 hours. This is clearly a pretty long time for a light bulb to last without needing replacing. People also like to use LED lights on their interior lights. You can choose the color and the variety that best fits the style you are looking for as well with these lights.
In addition to using LED lights for your headlights or interior lights, you can also have the opportunity to use LED lights as taillights if you so choose. Since they do come in a lot of different sizes and colors, you are going to be able to use them when it comes to any light that you have on your vehicle. LED lights do last a long time, but there are other advantages to having this type of light as well. One of the things to think about is that LED lights actually use less power.
In the long run, many things that people are able to change in a new car are things that can make the car a better fit for them. If you want to get all that you can out of your LED lights, you will want to be sure that you change them to this type of light sooner rather than later.

Denali National Park to use Lightning Hybrids buses to transport park visitors
Hybrid buses will save fuel and reduce emissions
LOVELAND, Colo., Aug. 16, 2016 – Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, centered on Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley), the highest mountain in North America, has taken delivery of its first two hydraulic hybrid vehicles from Colorado-based Lightning Hybrids.
The shuttle buses, one a Chevrolet model and the other Freightliner, will transport park visitors along the 14-mile paved section of the scenic 92-mile long Denali Park Road at the entrance to the park. The road is the only road in the 6-million-acre park. It runs parallel to the Alaska Range and travels through low valleys and high-mountain passes.
"The National Park Service has a long-standing commitment to using advanced clean technology in their fleet vehicles," said David Brosky, vice president for sales of Lightning Hybrids. "Our hydraulic hybrid systems work well in harsh environments, and will help the park service to reduce emissions and save fuel."
"Visitors to the park will appreciate riding in our new environmentally friendly buses," said Andrew Gertge, a commercial services specialist, Denali National Park. "They'll enjoy a nice smooth ride, and we'll have cleaner air for our visitors who are hoping to spot bears or caribou from our shuttle buses that travel along the road winding into the park."
The system from Lightning Hybrids is a patented, parallel hydraulic hybrid system that has no electric batteries. Instead, it applies a hydraulic system to the driveline of a vehicle to regenerate braking energy. Hydraulic pumps and a lightweight accumulator brake the vehicle, store the braking energy, and then use that stored energy to provide power to the wheels. In doing so fuel is saved and harmful emissions are cut.
An executive order issued by the White House in March 2015 (Executive Order 13693, titled "Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade") calls for tougher goals for renewable energy in federal buildings and fleets. The National Park Service is leading the way by employing advanced technology in their fleets with the two hydraulic hybrids from Lightning Hybrids.
The buses were sold by Colonial Equipment Company on the GSA schedule. "We're pleased to offer the Lightning Hybrids solution to our customers. It's a good fit during a time when everyone is looking for clean transportation solutions like hybrids," said Craig Combs, General Manager at Colonial.
About Denali National Park
Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses 6 million acres of Alaska's interior wilderness. Its centerpiece is 20,310-ft.-high Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley), North America's tallest peak. With terrain of tundra, spruce forest and glaciers, the park is home to wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Popular means of exploration are biking, backpacking and hiking, on maintained trails or in backcountry. For more information visit https://www.nps.gov/dena/index.htm.
About Lightning Hybrids
Lightning Hybrids designs and manufactures the hydraulic hybrid Energy Recovery System (ERS) for medium- and heavy-duty fleet vehicles which provides fuel efficiency by regenerating braking energy, provides safer braking and more power for acceleration, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. The ERS does not have any batteries, instead safely and efficiently stores energy mechanically in composite hydraulic accumulators, which are a fraction of the cost and weight of batteries. It can be installed on new vehicles as well as retrofitted on vehicles already in service. It is sold through a network of dealers and upfitters. For more information, go to www.lightninghybrids.com.

JUNE 4 - OPEN DISCUSSION - TOPIC: Fundraising Events
Guests: Autumn Morin (Underclassman of the Month) and Hunter Chase
Members We Missed: Arizzi, Joe & Lynn, Barth, Dennis, Kunkle, Laux, Moran-Laux, Mann, Monahan, Murphy, Zinchuk
Announcements included a reminder of the Auction & Yard Sale June 23.
Mike Steven led an open discussion of fundraising methods, both an evaluation of current activities and ideas for new events. A common difficulty with current activities is getting Rotarians to solicit sponsors. This hurdle would have to be overcome for new events also. In considering new fundraising, there was general agreement that the primary goal is money coming from outside our local community. Ideally, the outside visitors would not only attend the Rotary event but would patronize local businesses during the course of their stay.
Thank you Walter

I would say, not.
I had my own little experience with plagiarism when a Belgian craft company ripped off one of my knitting photos from Flickr to use in their product catalogue. Something I never would have spotted if an eagle eyed Flickr viewer hadn't spotted the picture, thought it looked familiar, tracked it down to my profile, and even scanned a copy of the brochure and then sent it to me as proof. I've got to tell you, I didn't feel flattered, I felt really pissed off.
When I used to be involved in historical re-enactment I wrote a series of articles for our local group's 'zine about hat making and garment construction, only to find out through a reader that another group was photocopying them right out of the 'zine, cutting and then pasting them into their own 'zine, without ever having had the courtesy to ask. I would have sent them originals to use if they had only asked, instead I got bent out of shape and told them to stop.
There must be many, many instances where creative people have their images and ideas ripped off. However, ripping them off for advertising or products just increases the likelihood that someone, somewhere along the line is going to spot it. So I find the blatant plagiarism documented on this blog post and this website astounding. Thankfully there are plenty of someones out there doing the spotting.

Classic Channel 2 WKTV Commercials From 1985 [Video]
Do you remember what the 1980's were like in Central New York? WKTV does. Get ready to take a trip down nostalgia lane with these classic commercials from 1985.
Do you have a favorite Central New York memory from the1980's? Personally, I enjoyed taking trips to Charlestown Mall with my grandparents. It was such a cool place to shop! I still remember the way it smelled too. I think the scent emanated from the food court Burger King and the oak hardwood floors.
One of my other favorite memories was watching Utica Blue Sox baseball at Murnane Field. I also liked to watch games on TV with my grandpa. He was a Mets fan and I'm a Yankees fan but that didn't matter. As long as there was a game on television, we were happy guys! My grandfather used to get so ticked off at the commentators because he thought they talked too much. Thankfully he didn't disown me after I started talking for a living! My grandpa didn't like listening to baseball banter by paid professionals, but he did enjoy watching the commercials. Here's some of the ones we watched together back in 1985!
I went to 80's night at the Stanley Theater last weekend and Just Jen and I chatted about that today. Listen by clicking the purple button just below the Just Jen header.

1636 Jansson Map of the North Pole or Arctic RegionsPoliArctici-jansson-1637
1636 Jansson Map of the North Pole or Arctic RegionsPoliArctici-jansson-1637
Influential early 17th century mapping of the North Pole.
1637 (undated) 16.5 x 21.5 in (41.91 x 54.61 cm)
One interesting feature of this map is its attempt to include rhumb lines. While common on more traditional maps, incorporating rhumb lines into a polar map is a logistical challenge due to the curvature of the earth. The present example solves this by replacing the traditional straight rhumb lines with a series of elaborately curved rhumbs – producing an impractical though highly decorative effect.
This map was first issued in the Appendix of the Latin edition of Novi Atlantis. It was subsequently issued five separate states and was republished until about 1694 when it was replaced by more advanced maps. Jansson's map of the Arctic was the model on which most Arctic maps were based well into the early 18th century. The current example, from the first edition plate, corresponds to the 1650 Latin edition of the Atlas Novus.
Jan Jansson or Johannes Janssonius (1588 - 1664) was born in Arnhem, Holland. He was the son of a printer and bookseller and in 1612 married into the cartographically prominent Hondius family. Following his marriage he moved to Amsterdam where he worked as a book publisher. It was not until 1616 that Jansson produced his first maps, most of which were heavily influenced by Blaeu. In the mid 1630s Jansson partnered with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius, to produce his important work, the eleven volume Atlas Major. About this time, Jansson's name also begins to appear on Hondius reissues of notable Mercator/Hondius atlases. Jansson's last major work was his issue of the 1646 full edition of Jansson's English Country Maps. Following Jansson's death in 1664 the company was taken over by Jansson's brother-in-law Johannes Waesberger. Waesberger adopted the name of Jansonius and published a new Atlas Contractus in two volumes with Jansson's other son-in-law Elizée Weyerstraet with the imprint 'Joannis Janssonii haeredes' in 1666. These maps also refer to the firm of Janssonius-Waesbergius. The name of Moses Pitt, an English map publisher, was added to the Janssonius-Waesbergius imprint for maps printed in England for use in Pitt's English Atlas.

On the Other Side of Yes
Written by: Megan H.
This week, I'm privileged to be in Guatemala with One More Child, serving alongside a team at the Malnutrition Center in San Juan, Sacatepéquez. Supporting the staff and serving the children has caused me to expend more energy in a few hours than I normally use in a full day at home. I am in awe of the nannies on staff who tirelessly serve the children and families of Guatemala each day and never complain.
One of our jobs each day is to wake up the daycare children from their afternoon naps. Today, our team walked into the preschool room and softly began rubbing the children's backs. Slowly, each child began to yawn and stretch, peeling back blankets and rolling to a stand. One child, however, refused to wake up. No matter how much we patted him and cajoled, he stubbornly kept his limbs limp and eyes closed. Whispering promises of a snack, one volunteer lifted him off his mat and sat him in a small chair at the table. He stuck out his lower lip and continued to sleep. Even when the snack was delivered and placed in front of him, he wouldn't wake up.
This little boy was so set on remaining asleep, conserving his energy, he was missing out on the comfort and sustenance in front of him. He had decided that keeping his eyes closed was more rewarding than ingesting the rich food and drink on the table in front of him.
It struck me, then, that I live my life much the same way.
In fact, two days before, our team had the opportunity to go zip-lining in the mountains of Antigua. I wanted very much to experience this, but then I was told that this adventure included hiking quite a bit up a mountain. I immediately said, "I'm not sure I want to expend the energy for that reward."
Luckily, I chose to move outside of my normal response and decided not to pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The hiking was tiring, and I was hot and breathing heavily in the mountain air. But the experience was beyond amazing. I have never felt more freedom than I did at that moment when I was soaring above the trees thousands of feet below in the valley.
I spend my days feeding my family, cleaning my house, working a full-time job, studying for a graduate degree, and running my children to and from school. I often collapse on the couch at the end of the day, drained of energy and exhausted, too tired to spend time with the Lord or engage in activities to minister to others.
But what am I choosing to miss in order to conserve my own energy, my own comfort? Like the little boy who refused to wake up for a nutritious snack, my deliberate choices to zone out each evening have kept me from the true sustenance of the Bread of Life, of the Living Water.
If I, if you, if we, decided to move our focus from our own comfort to the needs of the world around us, how great would our reward be? How much more would we be filled by the Father in order to pour out to others? I'd hate to miss the reward, the nutritious snack, waiting on the other side of my "yes."

Capital project addresses schools' essential building needs
To the Editor:
On Tuesday, Oct. 16, Guilderland Central School District residents will head to the polls to decide on a $42.7 million capital construction project. The project includes critical improvements to the safety and security of our buildings and grounds, upgrading aging building systems and infrastructure, and would create modern, healthier, more comfortable learning spaces for students. If approved by the community, construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2020.
We take our responsibility to be good stewards of our community's investment in our school district's facilities very seriously. We believe that the proposal up for public vote addresses our most essential building needs.
We've been sharing the details of this project since the summer. Throughout our public meetings there were two frequently asked questions about the timing of the vote: Why does the district hold a vote on capital construction in the fall? and Why isn't the vote being held on the same day as the general election, Nov. 6?
Like many school districts, we hold capital project votes in the fall to begin the roughly 18-month process of completing and receiving State Education Department approval for our architectural and engineering plans. This timeline also positions us to enter the bidding cycle for contractors in early spring, so that construction work can begin as soon as the school year ends. Potentially lower bidding costs in the spring and less disruption to instruction, since construction work is limited to the summer when school is not in session, are factors in setting the vote date.
Why isn't the vote being held on the same day as the general election, Nov. 6?
We explored the option of holding the vote on the same day of the general election back in February 2018. At the time, we were informed by the Albany County Board of Elections that they cannot hold simultaneous votes on Election Day because it could "create confusion and interfere with operations, while presenting logistical and legal challenges." For example, there are different ballots, polling locations, and times for the general election and the school vote.
Please take a few minutes on Tuesday, Oct. 16, to cast your ballot. Polls will be open at all of our elementary school buildings, the same polling locations as our annual school budget vote, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information on the building project referendum, please visit www.guilderlandschools.org/capital-construction-project.

Crupikte Tho'dimalk
|Crupikte Tho'dimalk
|Warrior Mage
Appearance Crupikte has a square-jawed face and crystal blue eyes. His ash-blonde-streaked auburn hair is long and wavy, and is worn loose. He tanned skin and a brawny build. He is tall for a Dwarf. Some audrualm dagger charms float lazily around his head, glowing with a lustrous sheen against your skin. He is an adult. He has a thick beard twisted into three long braids. His abdomen has a tattoo of a kneeling Dwarf thrusting a sword skyward as he is encircled by a ring of spectral apparitions.
He is wearing a hooded night-black woolen highwayman's cloak, an open-necked white cotton shirt laced with sand-hued linen, a pair of pressed steel-grey pants laced with neat platinum cording, a pair of tan cavalry boots with red stitching on the straps, a simple leather belt, a willow amulet encrusted with emeralds in the pattern of the city of Therengia, a blackened iron locket etched with the image of a burning forest, a worn ebonwood first aid kit splattered with dark stains, a long parry stick wrapped in frayed brown leather, a platinum ring bearing the crest of the Warrior Mage Guild, a double-wrapped leather sword belt embossed with howling blood wolves, a black leather arm quiver with silver clasps, a silver-bound dark leather ankle sheath, , a steel-tipped war lance wrapped with waxed silk, an albredine crystal ring, and a mistwood longbow.
Bio - The Beginning Valmora Ovhig was a proud Dwarven woman. For generations, her clan had thrived in HighHold, the ancient Dwarven fortress built on the northernmost tips of the Hiimarhand Shel. They had survived the Gorbesh, the War of Tears, and numerous assaults by the Empire. While the rest of Adamantian lands trembled, Valmora and her clan thrived behind the inpenetrable walls of HighHold. But that was before the Dark Hand was released upon the lands by Dzree and the dragon priests. Very few from HighHold escaped alive, Valmora being one of the fortunate. By the aid of Greystar Commune dwarves, she was able to make her way to a far-away land called Forfedhar. But the Dwarves were not the only ones that assisted Valmora in her escape. An elven male, by the name of Daedrim Lyualsha, came across the group as they were making camp one evening. Daedrim, tired of the racial wars and finding Valmora to be more attractive than most dwarven women, was instrumental in helping the group pass safely through primarily Elven lands to arrive in Forfedhar. Valmora and Daedrim soon married and, despite the odds, had two children, Crupikte and Cabrera. One night when he was barely a teenager, Crupikte awoke to the sound of a struggle outside. He awoke his brother and they rushed outside to find their parents surrounded by dragon priests. They arrived just in time to see their parents murdered right before their eyes. Crupike grabbed Cabrera by the arm and dragged him back inside. It was dark out and the boys had not been seen. Fighting tears, they snuck out through the back of their tent and were able to escape the encampment. Distraught with nowhere to go, they wandered aimlessly for many days, eventually arriving to the town of Crossing.
Bio - The Early Years The two brothers were inseparable. They spent the first year as commoners, living off of the land. But soon they realized that to survive in town, they would need to find professions. Cabrera joined the Empath Guild, hoping he could use his skills to prevent the same kind of death he had witnessed two years earlier. Crupikte, equally as traumatized, joined the Warrior Mage Guild. He wanted to fight, with every means at his disposal, so that he could destroy the dragon priests and any other beast that may threaten him. Now on two very different paths, the brothers eventually grew apart. One night, there was an invasion in town. Orc raiders had penetrated the defenses and the militia was unable to stop them. They got into the empath guild and killed everyone there, including Crupikte's younger brother. The years following were some of the darkest of Crupikte's life. He threw himself into his training and spent almost every night at Taelbert's Inn, drinking away his memories.
Bio - The Later Years One night, Crupikte was visisted in his dreams by two figures, both wrapped in dark cloaks and accompanied by wolves. One was his father, Daedrim, accompanied by a white wolf. The other was Meraud, God of magic and foresight. They delivered a very simple message: it was time to get his life together. He was created to protect the lands from the evil that haunted his childhood. He awoke suddenly, unsure if what he had seen was just a dream of whether it was something more. In a hurry, he gathered his belongings, hopped on his horse, and galloped out of Crossing, never to return. He traveled to the town of Theren, a town known for its culture and nobility. He needed a new start. He abandoned his last name Alerahal, which had no particular meaning but which he had adopted so that he would not be recognized by the dragon priests. Though he was briefly married, this ended quickly as both parties realized they had more important things to accomplish. He adopted the last name Tho'dimalk, which translated into "Noble Protector of the Land". Soon thereafter, he applied for entry into the Theren Guard, and dedicated his life to the protection of the land from all that is evil. He owes his life to his God Kertigan as well as the God Meraud, and now worships both equally. Trying to forget his past, he spends his days moving toward the future, training his skills and forging relationships, doing what he can to create a world where children will never have to see their parents murdered before their eyes.
