I really wanna have one more baby but im really worried that if i stop taking my meds im gonna *go off the deep end again* as my husband says and im not gonna be able to take care of my kids or myself....i just really dont know what i should do...is there another kind of med i can take that wont hurt the baby?
A lil bit worried

I think you should talk to your doctor becuase it all depends on how stable you are. I am a typical bipolar and have a hard time sticking to my meds but I am pretty stable espcially in the summer. My doctor has given me certian meds that I can take during pregnancy and there are other ones that I can take if needed. Good luck!
Wife• Mom to a sweet boy 10/2011• Baby number two coming Feburary 2016• two angel babies
There are medications that are safer to take while pregnant. Talk to your doctor about your ability to try and switch over to something else. See how your body handles the new meds and then try and conceive if you are doing well. Above all else, you need to be stable to have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
There are medications that are considered "safer" during pregnancy. Lamictal is the go to med these days. I couldn't tolerate it so we chose to do a very very low dose lithium (150mg) during the first trimester then 300, 600 mg turing 2nd and 3rd trimesters. The lithium risk is a heart defect that is only an issue during organ formation (first 12 weeks). Seroquel is also apparently a "safer" option for some.
Talk to your dr, but almost all anxiety meds are a no-go. Priority 1 is making sure you're stable and good on the meds BEFORE TTC. Having another baby isn't worth sacrificing your mental health or the care of your other child.

Buongiorno, This is Georgette!
Welcomed to my personal blog by a sassy & curious American girl with a semi-confusing name {and it's Georgette} living and working in Florence, Italy.
A little background, I was born and raised in Texas, lived in Los Angeles and somehow ended up in the wonderful continent of Europe due to a rather random series of events. Daily life revolves around my job at ITALY Magazine, creating social media strategies for clients (like five star hotels), working on the blog and taming a naughty beagle named Ginger with my French husband Nico. I'm working on learning fluent French but don't judge me, it's hard.
Of course I shouldn't leave out that bit of insanity and odd sightings uncovered on a daily basis. Traveling plays a huge role in this blog, whether it be Italy or Europe – and recently Thailand and Morocco.
We can't seem to shake the itch to change places and experience new things, with or without a bidet. One must learn to sacrifice.
I started this blog as a writing outlet for me to share what it is I adore about this beautiful city and country, while also sharing travel tips and stories of the people I meet along the way.
I'd love to think of myself as a fearless badass but If I am keeping it 100% real on this blog a quote that I sort of live by is..
"I haven't failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
I never wanted this blog to be just about me, because it just wouldn't be that interesting. This is why I recommend scooting over to my interview series called 'Locals I Love' where I basically pick the brains of those living and working here, both Italian and foreign. I love to celebrate people, the work that they do which in a small city like Florence, seems to be filled with tremendous talent. If you are curious about how I got here, please check out this interview with Around Tuscany.
Life is about enjoying simple pleasures and enjoying great company with those closest to you, coupled with the willingness to embrace a never-ending curiosity and examine at any situation with a fresh sense of humor. Slow is good and my goals are pretty simple, providing a loving, stable home with my husband and dog and connecting people along the way.
A lot of people have asked me why my blog's name is so generic aka 'Girl in Florence'. I chose the title because to be completely honest, Italy is full of people like me — working several jobs, trying to build careers and dealing with copious amounts of tear-inducing red-tape. This is no fantasy world in the eyes of an expat but rather I'm just another girl living in Florence.
What can you find on this blog? Plenty about travel, musing regarding daily life, way too much food, boutique shops featuring made-in-Italy designers, and monthly events. I especially try to discover hidden finds in Florence from the point of view of a normal person living and working in the city who loves food, and artisan handicrafts, not quite in that order.
I adore chatting with you guys which is why I encourage you to comment on my posts and I will always give you an answer, you can also find me on google +, Facebook, instagram, pinterest, linkedIn or twitter. On snapchat my username is: Ggnitaly84
*This is 100% a personal blog, all thoughts are my own and yes occasionally you will see a grammar or spelling error because I am human ;), please forgive me in advance.
Some fun facts you might have not known about me
- My official language is Italiaenglish, a somewhat haphazard mix of both Italian and English that usually involves me starting a sentence in one language and finishing in other. French is slowly creeping in but mostly I just throw in a 'oui or 'tres jolie' from time to time.
- I just got married to my best friend last November and we couldn't be happier. The dog however, is seriously jealous.
- My name has ensured that I will never be able to purchase personalized key-chains at the autogrill.
- I have a secret love for hedgehogs
- My partner-in-crime is the most Italian Frenchman you would ever meet, his veins are filled with 50% negroni and enough energy to keep up with me.
- I'm love instagram, but I am seriously turned off by people that take it too far seriously and are obsessed with followers. Get over it people.
Nothing beats waking up to sun on a Friday morning, especially when this is just a 10 minute walk from your front door. Sometimes I imagine what it might have been like strolling these same streets in the early 1400's in #Florence, when the cathedral's cupola still had yet to be built (the church was there since the previous century). Construction was completed on this enormous Dome, which had never been done before, in 1436 by Brunelleschi. This fiery goldsmith turned architect looked to Rome's pantheon for inspiration and also invented one-point linear perspective in paintings, which many do not know #lovetheworld #bbctravel
- I have an unhealthy obsession with the spice, ginger, also the name of my beagle, who yes has her own instagram account.
- My current linked-in profile should be changed to 'masochist' with a social media edge ;-). Also I often make up random jobs to strangers that I think I will never meet again. Dutch-shoe cobbler is my current favorite.
- I live on the third floor of my apartment building and I curse myself every time I hit the last flight of stairs. It never gets easier and I hope I never break a limb. It does mean I can eat more pizza than the average person.
- I have been known to bribe post office workers with the occasional pocket coffee and 'what a nice haircut, have you lost weight' compliments in order to get better service. It's shameless, I know..
Also if you read and enjoy this blog, may I humbly suggest that you stop by PayPal and send a little donation to email@example.com? Your donations help keep this blog (and the emailing) going, hosting costs etc.

My husband and I are planning a trip to Florence in June, and I've looked at several blogs…LOVE yours. Living in San Antonio certainly helped with the connection.
Thank you Sherry for the kind words! 🙂
Sherry Willome
Is your husband a tour guide???
Cathy New York
Thanks for this great blog. My daughter was just accepted to a year abroad program in Florence and I was looking for a few of my favorite old haunts to recommend when I found your blog. I forwarded the link to her. I know it will be a great resource. Is Zaza's restaurant still a good eat? What about Angie's pub on via dei Neri? It used to be (in the 80's) a family run fun spot. Does it still exist? I also used to get great chocolate chip cookies when I needed a fix from a bakery called Carley's, run by two Americans . Is that still around? Thanks for your help.
Ciao Cathy! That is so exciting for you daughter – congrats to her, and this means you can come visit. I actually like Zaza's to eat, its still good just a little pricier. Angie's is also there to stay and still a haunt for many locals/students, I am huge huge fan of via dei neri and all it has to offer actually. Carley's I have not heard of but we have Mama's Bakery that is awesome on via della chiesa or Sugar and Spice bakery in Florence.
Tracy Burton
I just found you and can hardly wait to read some of your back entries. I lived and studied in Firenze for a year in 1990, lived with a family and still consider them my Italian Mamma and Sorellina. My sister has been posting about the election a lot, so I decided to investigate and came across your blog. I am loving how your experiences remind me of my own (even from so long ago). My heart and soul will always be of Florence and I appreciate feeling connected more to my city through your words and experiences.
Tracy thank you for the kind words :-). I always love hearing about other peoples experiences in Florence. That's amazing that you have kept that connection with your Italian 'family'. I am sure they are just as happy as you are. Thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoy my blog!
Bike Pretty
Georgette, your blog is amazing! You are totally killing it.
My heart is so warmed knowing that you are making it in Florence. You were so important to helping me get through my time there.
I'm doubly, no triply, impressed because I could never imagine working on my blog in Florence (well, on Via Isonzo).
And congratulations to you and Tomasso on seven years together! I'm very happy for you both.
Melissa! It's actually you! You have no idea how many times I think about what you are doing in this world. Thank you so much for checking me out here and commenting, I need an update in your life! Now that via isonzo miraculously has discovered broadband internet, life is on a whole other level lol. I'll have to check yours out too! xoxoxo un grande bacione!
This sounds so familiar in a way. I'm from Mexico, but somehow after college ended up in Seattle, WA. I've been here about 9 months now and everything has been so crazy and busy that like you say, it's not all rose colored at all. Making a career in another country is HARD WORK. And in the end, I am too but another girl in Seattle. 😉
I hear you! What's it like starting a new life in America? I am always curious about how it is for those coming to live in the USA. 😀
Ever heard of the sweetness of doing nothing? :-). Italians mastered it! 😉 I'm partly Italian and proud of it
Ah yes! 'Il Dolce far niente' – I LOVE this about Italy, my kind of country indeed!
Please have a cone for me at festivale del gelato 🙂 you lucky girl
Sean Finelli
Hey! Great blog! really cool layout.. extremely stylish. We have a creative travel company in Rome and i would love to start a dialogue. How do we get in contact?
Sean P Finelli
Hello Sean, thank you! If you send me an email via my contact form, I'll get back to you asap!
Olivia Grace
Love your blog! Do you have any advice for new bloggers like myself? Just about to move to Siena as a student and seems like the perfect time to start! 🙂
I would say 'get social' (with all of the social networking sites.. google plus, twitter, and just write consistently and from the heart. :-). and send me your link, I love new blogs!
Love learning about Italy through your blog, and I especially like your series of interviews with people from Florence! Just letting you know that I gave you a shout-out in my blogging awards post 🙂 Just letting you know that I gave you a shout-out in my blogging awards post 🙂 http://wiesagtman.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/be-lazy-blogger-reap-rewards-repeat/
thank you Sam!
Just reading through your blog now and I want to thank you for sharing your experience. I am strongly considering relocating to Florence from the US sometime next year and am in the beginning stages of research now. Feeling a bit overwhelmed! Your blog is helping to add an element of familiarity during this daunting yet exciting process. I look forward to reading the rest!
Thank you for reading my blog! Ive certainly been there myself so I totally understand. Good luck to you!
Thanks! So.., as I was dutifully doing more research on the web about possible citizenship I stumbled across another blogger, Kate Hash of La Vita e Bella who mentioned you in one of the posts I came across. The world as we once knew it is certainly shrinking! Love it!
Thank you for sharing!! We hope to make it to Florence someday 🙂
You should – then let me know when you do 🙂

Carol M. Horsford
Hi- Love your blog!! My new husband and I will be in Florence for Christmas this year. Have any suggestions for what to do on Dec 25th? as all the museums and such are closed.
Know any great restaurants that are open on the 25th?
Or know any American's willing to host a newly married couple? We can bring with us any items that can only be bought in the states.
Thanks Carol
Robin Ellis
Hi Georgette,
Nice blog about my favorite city!
As you love food perhaps you'd enjoy coming to an event on Saturday, Nov 16th in Florence at the Antica Torre hotel roof-top terrace. My friend, Keith Richmond, who has 1000 olive trees in Tuscany will be bringing some of his newly pressed oil and giving a tasting. I will be promoting my second cookbook, based on Mediterranean food, called Healthy Eating for Life. Also I have a small fan club in Italy as a BBC classic series I did, Poldark,(broadcast on Masterpiece Theatre in the USA) was very popular with Italians. Event is a 1h30. My blog is http://robin-ellis.net/.
Hello Robin, thanks for checking out my blog :). I absolutely love that hotel and if I can stop by voluntieri! Also, I am mildly obsessed with olive oil. Nectar of the gods to this girl!
Loved reading this! I just got back from Bologna and Firenze. Loved it! Wish I didn't have to come back. I am not planning my next trip or 2.
I've gotten the little thought in my head – could I move here? You listed great things about what to expect and the pitfalls to avoid.

Lovely blog, Georgette! Thanks for connecting with us on Twitter! Keep up the great work and travel safe! Oh… and a happy New Year! 🙂
Thank you, its an honor to be followed! I am very much looking forward to blogging, reading, and eating, oh yes and drinking much of 2014! 😉 Happy New Year to you!
Hi, pleased to meet you! 🙂
nice to meet you too! I adore your blog, love to see all of the updated events. GREAT job
Hello Georgette! I founf your blog through a friend of mine via FB! I read very little – my working lunch time is quite short 🙂 – but so far I like it a lot! I wondered one thing: how did you finished in Italy? Why Italy? 🙂
Hello Kris, well thats a good question and thank you for checking out my blog even if you have little reading time ;-). As far as 'why' – I studied abroad when was a junior in university and really felt at home here and the lifestyle, the food, the wine, the landscape… Plus my ex-boyfriend is Italian and was a big reason for the move back. So far, I like my life here so for now (and probably forever) Italy is home!
Jenifer Mangione Vogt
I'm really glad I found this blog. You have a very witty and engaging writing style and I look forward to seeing my favorite Italian city through your eyes!
Ciao Jenifer, your comment made me blush 🙂 I hope I can continue to grab your interest.
Thanks for your blog! I'm working on moving to Firenze as a student this September (while currently living in Japan, oof there is so much to prepare for and to do).
hey, thanks for checking it out! I am sure you will be just fine, especially if you already live abroad 🙂 good luck with your journey!
Any chance you have some tips for finding apartments? Scams seem to run rampant! I'm doing my best to make sure I don't get stiffed.
I would say don't send money over and try to see the plae in person first. And see if someone from your school or a local friend can check it out first to make sure its legit!
Thanks girl! ^_^
No problem! you can always ask me too if you aren't sure about a place 🙂
Anna Evans
Strange question I know, but I was wondering if you could tell me the average monthly grocery bill for one in Florence. I am applying for an arts grant. Would 277 euros sound about right?
that is so hard to say because it really depends on how much (and what you eat). I would say I spend around 50-70 euros a week on food
I am so happy to have found your blog! I am a Southern as well, keeping myself inspired for my move to Firenze when I stumbled upon your IG account. I love seeing all your photos and makes me want to go back today and not the fall! Thank you for posting about visas, travel, etc. It seems things will be very very hectic those first 8 days!
Ciao Aubrey! Thanks for stopping by, its always nice to hear from a fellow southerner :). The fall time of year is such a great time to 'get your feet wet' – don't worry, lots to look forward too!
anna evans
Thanks Georgette, sound like that's about right then!
I hope this application works…
good luck Anna!
Leigh W. Stuart (Surviving Switzerland)
What an amazing account of your adventures in Italy and Europe! I'm an expat in Switzerland (14 years–yikes!), and I've been looking for some other expat blogs to inspire mine and especially give me ideas for going places! Italy is definitely on my list–and your blog might have just pushed it to the top of that list. Thanks for all the fun stuff and pictures!
Ciao, Georgette!
I'm so happy to have found this blog – I'm returning for a second visit to Florence, after a first 5-day quick trip, and I want to get to know the city a bit more intimately.
As I wasn't expecting this trip (long story), I'm not very well prepared – I don't have a working knowledge of the language yet and I haven't boned-up on the history of the city, which are things I generally like to do before I travel. But it'll be an extended trip, so I'll learn as I go.
Your blog is a great introduction to the city, and I really appreciate the insider/expat tips. It will make my trip that much more enjoyable.
Thanks again!
Ciao David!
What a pleasure to read your comment, you made my Sunday that much better – thank you! Sounds like you are undergoing quite the unexpected adventure and I say roll with it! If you need any tips or anything, feel free to ask and I wish you the best of luck with hopefully plenty of wine and espresso along the way!
Buona domenica,
Grazie, Georgette!
I'm here for eight weeks, working on a research project and minding my friends' villa and pets while they're away. An unexpected, last-minute trip but a wonderful opportunity to explore a new city and country; as I'd mentioned, finding your blog has been a great boon.
The people have been very nice so far – I will learn some basic Italian so that I can communicate better but I'm struggling for now. It's very isolating not to be able to speak. Hopefully, that will drive me to learn quickly.
I will look deeper into your blog but yes, I may ask you for tips. The trip will certainly be filled with wine & espresso, great food, music, and both natural and human-made beauty, which is in such great abundance here. Great things to feed my soul.
Thanks again!
RJ Brual
Hi, I read almost of your blog. found that you are explorer "traveler". I currently looking for a traveler that can assist our customer from Asia's in Europe in able to tour them across Europe.
Let me know how can I talk to you, I from Prato we have company in the Philippines Travel and Tours Agency and I have my online ticketing here in Europe.
Thanks. hope to hear you soon.
Patrick Logan
Hello Georgette,
I'm a Texan hoping to become a Tuscan Texan soon or will die from Absence from Italy. I was there last year on vacation for a month and I fell in love with all things Italy. I have missed it so much. I would need to work and have healthcare all the essentials, HELP Me! Get started, Please. I read your article in Inernational Living.
Hey, nice blog, I'm italian and i live in Florence, i was wondering if you had a couple of minutes to share some infos about blogging and maybe get a coffe together.
I'm not intrested in your kind of blogging but i could use some knowledge.
You can write back at my mail.
Have a nice day.
Ciao Georgette!
Your blog is very refreshing! I enjoy reading it, also because it is honest! Thanks for sharing your experiences! 🙂
I'm from the Netherlands and I studied Italian for some months in Florence last year… and I am so addicted to Tuscany now I can't stay away! I'd like to return for at least a year coming spring and try to find a job as an English teacher, in tourism… or a job that has something to do with my history degree. I am terrified though when I hear about the economy in Italy! But I still have some months to think about it and read more of your blog 🙂
Tanti saluti!
I've just stumbled across your site looking for inspiration, I'm in the midst of planning to run away to northern italy or southern france (from england) your site has been really helpful in considering the pitfalls! my partner has an ancient history degree and I work in interior design so we're hoping there is something out there for us 🙂 love the blog!

Dear Georgette
I joined your blog when I was planning this trip to Florence. I have been in Florence for the past month attending a course at the British Institute. I have used your restaurant and activity suggestions constantly. Thank you very much you have been integral to a wonderful stay in florence
I can't take my eyes off your beautiful face, wondering if you met a special man in Florence?
I am confused on one thing: Is it Georgette or Sophia? You are ONE woman, correct? Dave
Hello Georgette,
do you know how and where to find a job in Florence?
ALex from Wimbledon.
Hi Georgette! I'm so happy I found your blog! I just know I will read it in its entirety before Spring is here! I'm Canadian and I will be traveling to Florence in April 2016. I've been to a few European countries but I've always, always wanted to go to Italy and an amazing-too-good-to-pass-up flight deal came up so I just booked this morning! 🙂 The anticipation is going to drive me MAD! I've never booked a vaca this far in advance, lol. My question is, I'm traveling alone. I know I'll be fine during the days with so much to see and do, but, how awkward will it be dining alone in the evenings?! I think that's my only concern, ha. Will I stick out as the sad, lonely woman all alone in Tuscany? 🙁 If you have any tips, or an upcoming blog post, or maybe one you've already written that I just haven't stumbled on yet, on how to make the best of a solo vacation in Florence do let me know! 😉
OK, I am guessing you don't reply any more to comments here… If you read this, thanks anyway. Your site is very informative!
Just wanted to say I love your blog. Preparing my trip to Florence (Jan '16). Your comments are very helpful and bring already pre fun. Do you have any blogs as well about Brunches on Sunday? The only thing I couldn't find yet 🙂 Please keep on doing the lovely work!

I currently have a fully working WP site hosted through a reseller at rackspace (we will call this .com). The owner wished to part ways with this reseller, so we purchased hosting space elsewhere (.net site until I get it working 100%) and so I discovered duplicator. Ran the installer without a hitch and was told there were no errors/warnings/etc. The site itself works fine, but every time I try to log in to wp-admin the site hangs and chrome/IE/FF can't locate the site. I am assuming the server crashes because after 10 or so minutes it comes back.

I was very disappointed. I have always had good products from Overstock.com but this ?leather back pack was terrible. I used it to travel and the so called leather peeled off!!! I know leather cracks put this looks like paint peeling off. Was the back back vinyl and spray painted? It was not a good product.
I bought this bag more than five years ago. I travel with it everywhere I go and lately that is a lot. It is beautiful, sturdy and just perfect as a carry on for all of my essentials and overnight needs. The leather is good quality and still looks as good as the day it was purchased. I am completely satisfied with this bag...
I would rate it higher, quality good,as expected, but it is NOT full-sized. For school and life, I consider it small.
Not as expected. Previous reviews described it as large/roomy. Not true. I purchased it for my teenage son as a backpack and it's not big enough for a high school student's bookload. Don't purchase for this use. You will end up returning it like I did.
Once I received the product, opened the box and looked it over, I immediately put it back in the box to return it. The shoulder straps are cheaply made: While the upper part of them is made out of thin padded leather, there is only stitching holding them to the surface of the bag. It is hard to imagine them staying attached to it more than one or two years without the carrying weight pulling them apart. Second, the leather part of the straps are attached to cheap nylon bands that attach them to the lower part of the bag, and the length can be adjusted by cheap plastic buckles. The loop/handle on the top of the bag is made of the same cheap nylon strip. Both of these parts are more typically parts of a $10 or $15 dollar bag that you might find in a low end discount store--certainly not worth the $$$ price tag on this site. And nothing was mentioned about these parts in the description. Save your money and buy quality instead.
- How accurate was the sizing? Accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. less than advertised.
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes.
I bought this backpack for my husband. He brings few books, few water bottles and snacks to his work everyday. His previous backpack seems old, and I feel to buy new backpack for him. He really loves to take this backpack to his work! I was so glad that I chose this backpack!!
- How accurate was the sizing? good size for daily work
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very good quality leather
So I wanted a stylish but inexpensive leather backpack that wasn't a full size backpack. This is a great product for the price, but be aware that when full, the backpack looks pretty big (especially width-wise,) so if you want a cute little backpack, either keep it empty or get something a LITTLE smaller. It's great for me but also be aware, if it gets snagged on anything, you can see the marks and they can happen pretty easily. But in value and coolness, I like it a lot overall.
- How accurate was the sizing? somewhat accurate but bigger width-wise than I thought
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good but not protected against damage
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? yes
Product will not last with its original appearance in tact. The extremely thin leather does not "wear well" after it has been used and not abused. The zippers seemed to be OK to this point.
- How accurate was the sizing? Size was perfect... Mid was what I was needing
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Noticed after use that the thin leather coating on the product was showing stress on the bottom where I had set it down over the two week period of use. Thought it might last a tad longer before beginning to wear out... :-)
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Out of the box was fine...
I love the product. The quality of the leather is good, finish decent, space is sufficient (my office backpack), lots of small storage spaces. Overall, I got what I had expected reading the other reviews, but was a little disappointed as I explored the pouch-interiors. The lining and partition material is imitation leather and I am worried if it would give-in on repeated usage, which is what I will be doing. Otherwise a great value for the money.
I purchased the bag in black and I've used it every work day since January 7, 2009. The bag looks like it is about 2 years old. Half the bag around the middle zipper is peeling only to expose a white finish while the other half of the bag is peeling exposing a dark green finish.
I like this and am using it but I was hoping it had more compartments when I purchased it.
I am very fond of back packs as purses but this bag is way too large for a daily purse. It is really more like a luggage piece than a purse.It is well made and nice looking but it could not be considered for daily use..
Color black is sort of blue-ish gray. Not a pure black as pictured. A great backpack with lots of pockets, but the color doesn't really ring true.
The backpack is smaller than it appears in the ad. The leather is a good quality with an average appearance. If you are planning to pack more than a few items, this backpack will not suffice.
Backpack was just as described, except there isn't an organizer pocket, the only thing I wanted. Also had a funny smell. Too big for my needs, I sent it back.
We got this for my husband -- and he packs a FULL backpack. He absolutely loves it! He carries many books around in it and enjoys the full sized width across the top of it, too. I've never seen a man who can pack a backpack as heavy and this one is not only soft, but holds up well. I'd buy it for it again in a minute.
Very nice for the price roomy and decent quality leather would have cost a lot more if you purchased in a store.
Well the leather is not the best, but the price was not bad at all.The backpack straps seen kind of weak so you can't put to much in the bag because the straps might break so i will give it a 2/half for the price.
Wish this had been larger, too small for my laptop
Love this. Second one I've had in 10 years. Hold camera, sketchbook, iPad, drawing & painting supplies. Goes with me everywhere!

Similarities between Jaycee Dugard and Ohio kidnapping cases
There are some similarities between the Cleveland kidnapping case and the Bay Area's Jaycee Dugard case.
Claude: America has lost all perspective when it comes to Obama. He should NOT be inserting himself in the next election. It is against protocol. It is bad form. It has never been done before. He, like other egotists - Ted Cruz - cannot help themselves. Trump is under Obama's skin. Well good. But America needs to be aware that this is not normal -- and that it sets of red flags in the minds of millions who know better. It sets off dictator signals. This is what dictators do...they behave like they are never going to leave office. He us supposed to be a lame duck for a reason - so we know - that the current president will, in fact, leave office. Regarding NATO -- Trump has a better idea. It's too out of the box for this ex-community organizer who never had a 'real' job or 'signed the front of a paycheck' -- what experience did Obama have when he ran, or rather was installed as president? Answer: Zero.

Multiple Pane
Multiple small panes of glass add to the appeal of a pair of double-hung dormer windows. Small panes were once a necessity because of how glass was manufactured. Once larger pieces became available, small-pane windows fell out of favor among some people because they are more difficult to clean. Today, however, many people treasure the warm, historical look that small panes create.

I'm coding a website and am having a problem with 2.5.1 and pagination on the homepage. I've used many custom queries in my time but haven't come across this problem, so I'm not sure whether it is 2.5 specific or not.
On my homepage I display the latest post (just 1) from a certain category with :
$paged = get_query_var('paged'); if (!$paged) $paged=1;
(I want to leave the general settings as more than 1 post per page for archives, search results etc).
The problem is, I currently only have a few posts on the site - so when I load /page/2/ and WordPress is deciding what template to use, it thinks there shouldn't be a page 2, and loads the 404 template instead of home.php.
Is there any way to get around this so I can get pagination working properly?

In a sporting season of blockbuster transfers, the latest is Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen agreeing to drive for Ferrari in 2014 Formula One's equivalent of Gareth Bale going to Real Madrid.
Just as the Welshman has joined Cristiano Ronaldo at the Bernabeu as Madrid look to stop Barcelona and recreate their glory days, Raikkonen pairs with Fernando Alonso at Maranello as Ferrari hope to end Red Bull's domination and turn the clock back to the early 2000s.
In fact Ferrari have already turned back the clock, to 2007, as they have re-hired a driver they had parted ways with. In the first stint, Raikkonen, signed for a world record $51 million annual salary to replace Michael Schumacher, immediately filled those big shoes and won the team's first drivers' and constructors' titles in three years. However, the mercurial Finn's form dipped in 2008, and, after being outperformed by teammate Felipe Massa over the next one-and-a-half seasons, he lost his racing seat to Alonso at the end of 2009. He lost his motivation too and took two years off from FI before making a comeback with Lotus.
Now here Raikkonen is, set to replace Massa, who hasn't won a race since the Finn left in 2009, and joining a team who haven't won a title since he helped them to the constructors' trophy in 2008.
While Raikkonen's exit didn't cause Massa and Ferrari's miserable runs, he does have the potential to turn the team's fortunes around.
Always a fearsome driver, the Ice Man has looked hungrier than ever in his second avatar. To his blinding pace (only Schumacher and Alain Prost have clocked more fastest laps), he has added unbelievable consistency until his retirement at Spa Francorchamps last month, he had racked up points in 27 consecutive races, the longest ever scoring streak in F1.

I am exploring ASP.NET MVC and I wanted to add jQuery to make the site interactive. I used StringTemplate, ported to .Net, as my template engine to generate html and to send JSON. However, when I view the page, I could not see it. After debugging, I've realized that the $ is used by the StringTemplate to access property, etc and jQuery uses it too to manipulate the DOM. Gee, I've looked on other template engines and most of them uses the dollar sign :(.
Any alternative template engine for ASP.Net MVC? I wanted to retain jQuery because MSFT announced that it will used in the Visual Studio (2008?)
Thanks in Advance :)
Please go to the answer in ASP.NET MVC View Engine Comparison question for a comprehensive list of Template engine for ASP.NET MVC, and their pros and cons
Update 2
At the end I'll just put the JavaScript code, including JQuery, in a separate script file, hence I wouldn't worry about the
$ mingling in the template file.
Update 3
Changed the Title to reflect what I need to resolve. After all "The Best X in Y" is very subjective question.

As we all know, git is very popular in these days, since it is highly efficient for it has all the history on local computer, and retrieve of history can be done without network. Maybe for extranet users, the network issue is not that important, but git also have other kinds of advantages, such as lightweight branch (i am still not sure what is the differece between it and svn's branch, why git's branch is light weight)?
I also know lots of person is still using subversion, why? If git is that nice, they may switch to git:)
So, can anybody here tell me some advantages of subversion?
one more question:
is there anything which can be done by svn, but cannot be done with git?

Transafrik C130 that overran the runway. The operator systematically stripped the engines and avionics. Photograph D. Harding
Thank you for sharing these photos. I lived in Lunda Norte in 1982, and I remember a C130 crashing in the jungle in that year ...two American pilots were killed. I worked for Diamang (now Endiama) in those days, and have only just returned to Angola 26 years later to work for an oil company (based in Luanda). I would love to return to Lunda Norte and see the place again, and I am trying hard now to find some of the Angolan friends I used to have here. Your pictures bring back many memories for me!
My pleasure. I am still working in Angola. Is now in Lunda Sul just North of Saurimo.
I was there too, but I think it was in 1984 during Unita atack at Cafunfo. Do you have any photos from a place known as "Ferme Chicapa" near Camissombo?
I used to work at Yetwene just North East of Camissombo so I know the area but sorry no photographs.

Who Wore It Better: Chris Matthews or Uma Thurman?
They got the same dye job on the same week. Coincidence? We think not!
The "It" in the headline, of course, is the auburn-highlighted hair color that both Uma Thurman and Chris Matthews adopted this week. Uma's was for her new movie, Motherhood, but we're not quite sure why Matthew's made the change from his normal frosty-blond locks. The MSNBC host's light, flippy hair has sort of become his trademark over the years (that and a voice that hits your eardrum like a Q-tip that went a quarter-inch too far), so why the change now? Is he worried that he's looking too much like Hillary Clinton these days? Anyway, what do you think? Who wore it better?
We say Chris. Ever since Uma went redhead for Batman & Robin, we've never been able to take her seriously. Sorry, her hair seriously.

As defined by the committee, faculty development projects are those related specifically to the faculty member's teaching function at the university. They are intended to enhance instructional effectiveness and innovation.
All full-time faculty may apply for a faculty development grant. Worthy applications equally ranked will be considered in the following order of priority:
Expenses eligible for funding may include (in no particular order):
Faculty development grants do not fund release time, reimbursement of past expenses, major equipment purchases, extensive travel, or funding for site visits for international programs and courses.
For all applications:
These initiatives and areas of emphasis can be found on the Center for Faculty Innovation website.
Narratives must be complete and specific, including a description of the project activities, methods and techniques for enhancing teaching and using high-impact practices. Applications must also include a clearly itemized budget and detailed justification. The justification should convey the need for the requested funds and explain how each cost will contribute to the success of the project. The requested costs should be listed in order of priority. Whenever possible, the justification should include the level of detail specified below:
Proposal Evaluation and Selection: Proposals should be written for a general, but educated, audience. It is the responsibility of the applicant to convey the need for/significance of the proposed activity to the committee, which will necessarily represent a general academic audience, rather than a panel of experts in the applicant's area of expertise
The Committee normally approves only one grant for a given project. With the intent of funding as many projects as possible, only one grant will be awarded per applicant per grant year. Priority will be given to applicants who have not received an internal grant for projects within the past three years. In addition to completeness and clarity, the Committee considers the following in evaluating grant applications:
The project budget is normally written for a total of no more than $3,500. In exceptional cases, the committee will consider awards that exceed the usual maximum. If more than $3,500 is requested, the budget justification must clearly explain why the additional funding is necessary. In order to fund as many proposals as possible, the committee may choose to provide less funding than the total requested, regardless of amount. For this reason and because the committee cannot have specific knowledge of the practical requirements of each proposed project, it is incumbent on the applicant to provide a compelling justification of his or her budget. The justification should list the budget items in order of funding priority. This justification should clearly inform the committee of any specific budget cuts that would prevent the project from being undertaken.
Important Funding Changes
Important funding changes: All faculty development and research grants commence upon the grantee's receipt of written notification by the Provost and must conclude no later than July 31 of the fiscal year in which the grant was awarded. Grant related expenses must be incurred on or before July 31. Incurred means that goods or services were received on or before July 31. Reimbursement requests must be submitted on or before July 31. A final report, reflecting the final outcome of the project, is due within thirty days after the conclusion of the grant period.
It is the responsibility of faculty and staff to comply with Loyola's reimbursement policies in addition to all other financial affairs policies and procedures. Personal payments generally should not be made for non-travel business that can be paid directly by the University.
2015-2016 Application Deadline Septermber 25, 2015 by 5p.m.
Please send proposal via email as one pdf file to firstname.lastname@example.com LATE OR INCOMPLETE PROPOSALS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

throw then all OUT in the next election. We all know there motive
Typical ignorant Tea Bagger. Can't even tell when to use their, they're or there.
If the Repubs get back in, they will sink all but the wealthy (And the country, too.)
And I'll bet dumbo isn't rich.
Talk about the tea baggers cutting off their nose to spite their face. It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. They just want their 15 minutes of fame. Who cares if it destroys the government. Believe me these southern conservatives will be the first to suffer, when a bunch of government agencies are cut, because many are located in the south.
We need the government to fix roads, support the military to protect the nation which includes our boarders and that's it. Remember the kind of people who are in politics. Control freaks.
Have you asked YOUR GOP politicans what's in the Bills they reject? LOL...I bet you they don't even know what they're saying "NO" too!!!!
Pot, meet kettle...
Step down the drugs . . . if your asking us to believe only republicans are corrupted by corporations!
Corporations give massive dollars (BUY) politicians of both parties. If they give more to republicans its only to counter democrats who buy votes with promises to government employees, labor unions and anyone looking for a hand out.
If you cant agree on that you are truly hypocritical.
I agree...but the DEMs don't pass specific fascist legislation to screw the average American for profit or to create a more fascist "slave state"-type of pro-business government where corporations can do no wrong as the GOP does on a more consistent basis...therein lies the rub.
And let corporations run rampant, too, right? Money and power is what its all about and the goverment should never interfere with a person's ability to create a slave state in ordet o enrich themselves.
(Spoken like a true Republican.)
I'm pro-AMERICAN IDEPENDANT..I'm not a partisan hack moron like you, buddy. It just seems like I defend the DEMs...but that's ONLY because the GOP/Cons lie so much these days and anyone who disagrres with them is automatically labelled as being "Pro-Obama" or "Pro-Dem"...pretty dumb to try and pigeon-hole people like that but I expect nothing less from GOP/Cons and their politics of hate and intolerance.
I would disagree the dems don't pass similar or potential worse legislation that ultimately affects poorly on the average working class killing dreams of a better way to live and prosper.

(SALT LAKE CITY, UT) -- "Real Men Don't Use Pornography."
For months, the statement on a billboard greeted drivers as they arrived in Utah from Wyoming on Interstate 80, the massive letters printed across the portraits of several clean-cut men.
The billboard is gone now, but Utah's governor was expected today to sign into law a bill created in its spirit, giving the state the country's first pornography czar.
That person has little prosecutorial power, and no jurisdiction over the Internet or cable television. Instead, he or she will draft a new state definition of obscenity, help local governments ``restrict, suppress or eliminate'' pornography and provide information ``about the dangers of obscenity.''
Pornography has been debated intensely in Utah, where 70 percent of the population belongs to the Mormon church. Lawmakers already have passed bills banning Playboy from prisons and preventing minors from viewing pornographic Web sites at public libraries.
Pornography actually is difficult to find in Utah. A search through the yellow pages turns up a few listings for adult videos, and the adult bookstore most widely advertised in Salt Lake City is an hour away, in Evanston, Wyo.
``The irony of all this is that there have not been that many pornography cases lately,'' said Carol Gnade, director of the Utah chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. ``This seems to be a solution without a problem.''
Republican state Rep. Evan L. Olsen, who sponsored the legislation, said his constituents asked him about the state's obscenity standards after discovering their children surfing for cybersex.
``I felt there's a lot of people who wanted to do something but didn't know where to turn,'' Olsen said.
The legislation sets aside $75,000 next year and suggests spending $150,000 in future years to hire an ombudsman to handle obscenity and pornography complaints.
``It's time to say what's happening here,'' said Gayle Ruzicka, chairwoman of Utah's chapter of the conservative Eagle Forum. ``Pornography has suddenly become a huge, huge business - beyond anything we ever imagined - and it's as addictive as drugs. People are asking for help.''
Utah is apparently the first state to name a general porn czar, though other states, including California and New York, have teams or individuals responsible for investigating child pornography.
Joan Bertin, the executive director of the National Coalition Against Censorship, said she wouldn't be surprised if other states jump on the bandwagon.
``There's a huge proliferation of entertainment that is more sexually explicit than ever before,'' Bertin said. ``So there's really both a loosening and a tightening at once, and I suppose that's to be expected.''

I'm having a challenge installing the latest version of WP. I've done a manual install a couple of times before but it was sometime ago and it seems more complicated than I can remember.
I've created the database at mySQL, plus a username and password, edited the config.php file in WordPress and installed the WordPress files.
But then I get a prompt to enter the database information at http://www.trustedbusinesssolutions.com.au/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=1
I don't understand all of what's being asked there.
The database name - is that without the prefix_?
And I change the prefix down the bottom to the one I have set up?
When I check the database online in phpMyAdmin there are no tables and I have no idea why.
Some directions on how I can resolve this would be great please, as I have three of these to do and once I've got one sorted I should be fine with the others.
Thank you.

Please correct the errors listed in red below:
Rated 5 out of 5 by PickyPerfectionist Exactly what I wanted When the box arrived, it was so light in weight, I wasn't sure what to expect when I opened up the box. To my surprise, the material is like a woven business suit material but not as heavy and the blackout material is a sheer-like white color. The installation went fine and the roman shade looks spectacular in the room. I just ordered the same product for the other windows. The only thing that could be improved is the 7 weeks to get them here...but they are custom made so that is understandable and that wasn't a deal-breaker for me. September 14, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Blinded Easy to install Not very happy with the look of these shades. I failed to read the the other reviews. I have bought from JC Penny before and have always been happy. This material looks almost like a burlap!! In the picture it is a little more dressy looking. Says the color is soft gray. More rouget gray. Very disappointed and now stuck with them! April 23, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by rhayes61 not satisfied Thank goodness I Purchased the blinds for my big picture windows elsewhere. These were more difficult to install, the grain of the fabric is diagonal, and the side seams are uneven. And it took 6 weeks??? I'll never buy shades here again. September 29, 2014

I'm struggling to find a solution to a specific load balancing requirement. It seems that various combinations of HAProxy, Nginx, Varnish and Apache's mod_proxy_balancer can do some but not all of what we need. My question is whether anyone can suggest a suitable configuration that would (perhaps including software that we may not have considered, but it will need to be FOSS).
The key requirement is, unfortunately, sticky sessions. We have a large, complex Tomcat app that somewhat abuses the HTTP Session, and it utilises frameworks that do the same. Converting to a stateless design or replicated session have both been investigated and discounted. Additionally, the stickiness MUST be based on a cookie and not an IP hash as we have large spikes from corporate clients where many thousands of users can all appear to be hitting the site at the same time from the same IP address.
Second most important requirement is a dynamic backend. This application runs in a cloud (not AWS) and app servers come and go from time to time based on automatic or manual scaling.
Thirdly, we need to be able to mark servers as "quiescing" so that they will continue to honour existing sessions but will not be handed new ones. When all current sessions end, the server can be turned off or upgraded/restarted.
There are some additional complications/requirements but it's meeting the three above that seems to be presenting the most difficulty.
From research so far, I think the following statements are true:
- Nginx/Varnish can't meet the sticky session requirement (based on cookies) but HAProxy and Apache can
- HAProxy can't do dynamic backend modification without a restart (might be ok if it's quick though). Varnish can with some VCL changes and a HUP, as could Nginx with some creative config file management I think. Apache can possibly handle this via a managed interface to mod_proxy_balancer..?
- I'm not sure if/how any of them can deal with the third requirement
Would really appreciate any pointers or insights.

Saudi Arabia, where we originally started our business continues to remain a strong growth market for several of our businesses. These factors have allowed us to remain confident that we will be able to achieve our target revenue of USD 1 billion by 2020".
The business conglomerate continues to expand by entering new territories with a diverse portfolio of products and services by carefully analyzing emerging market trends to address customer demands and requirements. Since, its establishment 30 years ago, today the EUROSTAR Group has grown to over 25 retail showrooms in the Middle East region with business operations spread out across 50 countries worldwide. The group also maintains a strategic 24/7 in-house call centre and has an established distribution network in the Middle East, Africa, CIS, the Indian subcontinent with operations in Asia. The EUROSTAR Group's list of clients includes top Telco's and other high profile corporates within the region.
"Our strength lies in our abilities to understand changing market trends and consumer demands. Aside from this, we also concentrate on providing total customer satisfaction by maintaining a strategic customer care centre, an efficient supply chain management system, state of the art warehousing systems and a key research and development centre. We remain steadfast in our commitment to provide our rapidly growing customer base with world class high quality products and services that they can use for business and leisure," concluded Mr. Jethwani.

The snow/ice storm that blanketed the region Sunday and early Monday dumped another 2.2 inches at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, making this the fourth snowiest winter on record.
There's still another 17 days until the first day of Spring, on March 20, but after bottoming out overnight Monday at 6 degrees, temperatures will be on the rise for the rest of the week.
Tuesday's high should hover around freezing, and Wednesday temperatures will get up to 38. Cincinnati will see a high of 42 Thursday, and by Friday temperatures will reach the 50s. Overnight lows will stay below freezing until Friday night, but there is no more snow in the forecast for the rest of the week.
So far, 45.8 inches of snow has been recorded at the airport, just under the third-snowiest winter on record of 46.3 inches in the winter of 1950-1951, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
The all-time snowiest winter remains 1977-1978, when a whopping 53.9 inches piled up, followed by 47.3 inches in 1976-1977.
Depending where you live, there may have been a little less or much more snow with this latest storm. Beyond the airport in Hebron, the weather service reported snowfalls from 1.5 to 4.5 inches across the area.
City crews worked overnight Sunday and plan to do the same Monday, but the dwindling salt supply in Cincinnati forced them to prioritize and clear essential streets first.
"Salt is very low at this point. We haven't run out yet," said Larry Whitaker, a spokesman for the city's public services department. "We started with I think 2,700 tons a day and a half ago, and I don't know (the exact total now), but I know we've continued to use it, so we're getting pretty low."
By Monday evening, Whitaker said crews had cleared the majority of primary streets, but only about 13 percent of streets through neighborhoods had been plowed.
"There's still a lot to do on residential streets," he said. "We're going to be out there a while, but we are making progress."
Downtown, where about 1.5 inches of snow and ice fell over the weekend, received some special attention Monday evening, Whitaker said.
Crews brought in dump trucks and plows to dig out the Central Business District. Similar to clean-up efforts after an ice storm in the beginning of February, the trucks drove loads of snow away from Downtown streets.
As the storm rolled in over the weekend, crews had to watch it fall before doing anything to combat the pile up.
"The plows won't do anything for a half-inch of snow. You need to wait until a fair amount of accumulation has fallen," Whitaker said.
Although temperatures barely pushed past 20 degrees Monday, the clear skies allowed the sun to melt some of the ice and snow built up on the streets. But with temperatures dipping to 6 degrees Monday night and 16 Tuesday night, the threat for refreeze will linger.
But an order of salt is on its way.
"We have 5,000 tons on order," Whitaker said. "We should start receiving some of that this week."
The sun wasn't enough to melt the ice off the historic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge across the Ohio River Downtown, which remains closed due to ice.
Crews from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet worked through the night Sunday, said Nancy Wood, spokeswoman for the District 6 office. Crews were mostly plowing and using light salt applications to conserve salt, Wood said.
Wood also credited the sunshine in aiding crews in Kentucky, and crews were sent home by 7 p.m. Monday.
Most communities rescinded their snow emergencies by Monday evening.
