I have been wearing Ysatis ever since it was introduced and would not wear anything else! I have lost track of how many people ask me the name of the perfume I am wearing and quite often I was asked to please write it dawn. It seems that both men and women alike do notice the fragrance of Ysatis and comment favorably about it. As long as I can buy it (or is given to me), I will continue to wear not but Ysatis. I just love it!

Read Review details ►I have been using Ysatis since it first came out! I absolutely LOVE it! I have had men follow me around the grocery store to ask what I had on! I had a man hire me for a job out of his area, and went and bought every option of Ysatis for his girl friend! However, when I saw him again, he said she didn't smell as good as I did! It is perfect for my chemistry! My precious, oldest granddaughter had been out of town, came over for dinner, hugged me and said "oh! I have missed the smell of you!" How lovely was that?!? I truly LOVE my fragrance. I smell others, they just do not compare!

Preservation Activities at Mann
The Preservation unit has primary responsibility for maintaining the collections through the treatment of damaged or fragile materials; reformatting materials when use is no longer possible due to poor condition or embrittled paper; preventative preservation through environmental monitoring, disaster preparedness, and staff and user education; the coordination of an active records management program for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; and the development of digital library projects.
Mann Library materials are heavily used, and many items in its collections are in need of repair or conservation. The goal of the conservation program is to ensure that the overall condition of the collection is maintained and that materials remain accessible to faculty, researchers, and students. A full-time conservation technician and student assistants are responsible for the repair of the circulating collections through preventative maintenance, the construction of protective enclosures, and a wide range of minor, intermediate, and major treatments that return worn and damaged materials to useful condition. The conservation technician is also responsible for identifying material in Special Collections that needs treatment, performing a range of conservation treatments, constructing protective enclosures for non-rare material, and referring rare material for treatment to the Conservation Lab at Olin Library.
One of the major problems facing research libraries is that of materials printed on acidic paper. Between 1850 and 1950, most published materials in the US were printed on acidic paper. Over the course of time, the paper has become weakened and embrittled, sometimes to the point where the volume is no longer useable. Since it is not possible to restore embrittled paper, reformatting is often the only option for these volumes. With support from New York State, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Preservation has undertaken a series of projects to microfilm or digitize important endangered collections. These projects follow all national standards and guidelines in order to preserve the intellectual content of these endangered volumes.
Digital Library Development
In order to preserve and increase access to important endangered library collections, Preservation has undertaken a series of projects to convert embrittled materials to digital images. By working closely with scholars, historically important titles for three disciplines, agriculture, home economics, and beekeeping have been identified. These titles are then converted into digital images to create online access to the materials. The images are OCR'd to facilitate keyword searching. More recently, Preservation has begun investigating reformatting endangered audio recordings into digital audio and video tapes into digital video. Projects are being developed in these areas, and the digitized audio and video material will be made available on the web.
Records Management
An active records management program for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) is under development. This program works with CALS faculty and staff on the maintenance, transfer, and disposition of the College's records and papers. The Records Management Assistant provides reference assistance relating to CALS history.

Posts tagged replaceAll
Java replace, replaceAll, Commons Lang, 1.4.2, what are your options?
Aug 13th
Usually, no one has to know this. It is the year 2011, though i am really happy to be involved in a big project, but being enterprise lately seem to mean going 1.4.2. Right, that is the version of COBOL Java that most enterprise applications are still running on. I wish there were like a Y2K time bomb for users of 1.4.2, but it isn't going to happen so anyway …
Say you have like a task to get rid of certain character and replace it with an empty String, what are your options?
Here's the tricky part,
1. Are you on JDK 1.5 (or JavaSE 5 or Tiger) and above?
2. Can you use third party APIs such as Apache Commons Lang?
I discuss first the caveat – where you are not on JDK 1.5 and above, and you can't use third party APIs.
JDK 1.4.2 String class's replace(oldChar: char, newChar: char): String
Remember, this option is prevalent to you if you are on JDK 1.4.2 (i am not so sure if there will ever be a 1.4.3, but assuming all is sane …) and below AND you can't use an external party API, such as Apache Commons Lang.
This method takes in a character argument (oldChar) and replaces it with another character (newChar) argument. So here is the caveat, you must replace a character with another character!
For example:
(new String("abcabc")).replace('a', 'n'); // returns "nbcnbc"
(new String("abcabc")).replace('v', 'x'); // returns "abcabc"
(new String("abcabc")).replace('b', ''); // compile error because there is no "empty character" character
(new String("abcabc")).replace('b', 'burger'); // compile error because this is not a character!
So if you looking to solve a situation of replacing a certain character with an empty character, you won't find an elegant solution with replace (this is for JDK 1.4.2 and below).
Note that you probably have also heard about the replaceAll method, and you would think that replace is replacing a single occurrence of the matching character, while replaceAll is replacing all occurrences of the matching character, well it is not, both replace and replaceAll replace all occurrences of the matching character/ regex respectively. More on this to come in the later part of the post.
1. You may only replace one character with another character
2. An "empty string" is not a character
JDK 5 and above String class's overloaded replace(target: CharSequence, replacement: CharSequence): String
This method is only since the introduction of Java 1.5.
This method takes in an interface CharSequence as an argument for both its target and replacement, but FEAR not, i know what you must be thinking right now! No, CharSequence is one of the interfaces that Java String class implements. So, providing String as arguments to this method is 99% of the time what we want out of it.
For brevity, because String implements CharSequence, you can be expected to provide String as argument to this method.
(new String("abcabc")).replace("a", "n"); // returns "nbcnbc"
(new String("abcabc")).replace("v", "x"); // returns "abcabc"
(new String("abcabc")).replace("b", ""); // returns "acac"
(new String("abcabc")).replace("b", "burger"); // returns "aburgercaburgerc"
I am quite tempted to write something about character sequence and String but i guess this will have to come later!
String class's replaceAll(regex: String, replacement: String): String
Right from JDK 1.4.2, Java has provided a regex (regular expression) based search and replace method for all your technically possible scenarios.
This method is powerful in that it is less convenient to use, easily mistaken, and always abused!
(new String("abcabc")).replaceAll("a", "n"); // returns "nbcnbc" but be careful its regex!
(new String("abcabc")).replaceAll("v", "x"); // returns "abcabc" but be careful its regex!
(new String("abcabc")).replaceAll("b", ""); // returns "acac"
(new String("abc.abc")).replaceAll(".", "ad"); // returns something you least expect, its REGEX!
(new String("abcabc")).replaceAll("b", "burger"); // returns "aburgercaburgerc"
Notice that replaceAll is really regex, it does not mean to replace all occurrence of matches (even so it DOES). So doing a replaceAll(".", "ad") will give you least expected results. : >
(new String("abc.abc")).replaceAll(Pattern.quote(".", "ad"); // returns "abcadabc"
More examples:
(new String("abc|abc")).replaceAll(Pattern.quote("|", "@"); // returns "abc@abc"
(new String("abc|abc")).replaceAll("\\|", "@"); // returns "abc@abc"
(new String("abc|abc")).replaceAll("|", "@"); // remember, its REGEX : >
Apache Commons Lang StringUtils.replace(text: String, searchString: String, replacement: String): String
As easy as it may get, as always from Apache. ( :
Similarly, the Apache Commons Lang StringUtils replace method replaces all occurrences of the target String, and faster. (Performance testing results in a while)
StringUtils.replace("abcabc", "a", "n"); // returns "nbcnbc"
StringUtils.replace("abcabc", "v", "x"); // returns "abcabc"
StringUtils.replace("abcabc", "b", ""); // returns "acac"
StringUtils.replace("abcabc", "b", "burger"); // returns "aburgercaburgerc"
StringUtils.replace("abc|abc", "|", "@"); // returns "abc@abc"
Here are some quick performance test results, Apache Commons Lang StringUtils.replace is a winner. (I hope you were not hoping for something else… Apache Commons's the Mama Lemon / AJAX washer to your conventional soap)

rly two decades before Matt Sandusky's blockbuster allegation that he was sexually abused by his adoptive father, his biological mother raised questions about their relationship.
Debra Long had fought the local court system over her son's placement in the home of the famed Penn State assistant football coach.
Long has told The Associated Press that Sandusky was pushy and controlling and estranged Matt from his birth family. But she says Centre County's court system ignored her concerns because of Sandusky's stature.
The Sandusky family adopted Matt after he turned 18.
In an interview with police that was taped last week, he told investigators he was abused by Sandusky starting when he was 8 years old.
Jerry Sandusky is awaiting sentencing after being convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys.

Bum Deal co-authors speak at Great Oak assemblyFriday, January 28th, 2011 Issue 04, Volume 15.
The pair came to Great Oak High School in Temecula Tuesday to discuss their story of friendship, while promoting the importance of self-esteem and being kind to others. Hannah, who has been called "the most famous homeless person," was the star of the "Bumfights" videos that featured violent stunts and fighting shots on the streets of San Diego and Las Vegas. The 56-year-old man originally from Swainsboro, G.A. was the victim of habitually cruel behavior when he participated in the do-it-yourself "Bumfights" videos. He seemed weak and roughed-up in the videos. Teenage filmmaker Ryan McPhearson and a crew of his friends produced and distributed the "Bumfights" videos in 2002. The videos exploit drunken homeless men as they sit and roll on skateboards, and tumble to the ground like limp ragdolls. Homeless men jump off walls and land on cement surfaces while their knees buckle underneath them. The videos show men wailing rounds of punches on other men who dont fight back. Hannah and Soper co-authored the book "Bum Deal: An Unlikely Journey from Hopeless to Humanitarian," which chronicles Hannahs life on the streets with his friend Donnie Brennan and their participation in the "Bumfights" videos. The Jan. 25 discussion was held in the Great Oak gymnasium, taking place every hour on the hour. Groups of students from each class period were able to hear Hannah and Soper speak. "Our story is one of hope," Soper, a Rancho Santa Fe real estate mogul, said to the students. "When I saw Rufus for the first time, I said, Hey you! Get the heck out of here or Im going to call the police, and then another homeless man jumped out of no where," Soper said. Hannah and Brennan were rummaging through garbage cans near one of Sopers properties. Soper was angry at first until he discussed the problem with a religious leader he knew in the community who told him to stop arguing with the men and help them instead. Soper agreed and when he saw Hannah and Brennan again, he offered them jobs. "We said, Okay, well go work for him," said Hannah. Things were going well until one day Hannah was approached by some young filmmakers. "This kid comes over to me and says, I hear you get drunk and fall down a lot. Want to make five bucks? Run head first into those milk crates and knock them all down," said Hannah. "I said, Sure. Five bucks was a lot to me." The video producers made over $6 million, said Soper. Hannah and Brennan struggled to get out of the grips of the "Bumfights" filmmakers. They finally broke free with the continued help of Soper. They have since been involved in lawsuits against the video producers. Hannah still keeps in touch with Brennan but has moved on and is remarried with a new baby. He has been sober since 2003. He graduated from college. He also holds a job as Sopers assistant manager at Lakewood Villa Townhomes in San Diego. Hannah and Soper held back their tears while they showed a film montage, depicting the horrors of the "Bumfights" videos, to the students. "This should never happen to another person again," said Hannah. Hannah said he has been transformed. "Its wonderful now," he said. Great Oak students were touched by Hannah and Sopers discussion. "I thought it was inspiring," said 16-year-old Alicia Lamson. "I thought it was great that (Hannah) turned his life around. I wanted to cry." Hali Hodges, 17, agreed the event had an important message. "Everybody deserves a second chance," she said. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

This is a nice change from ham-based pea soups and also (therefore) suits vegetarians and anyone else.It's simply great; no, it's better than that: it's outstanding and hands-off easy. Serve with a fresh country bread.If you prefer a smokey taste, (minus a ham bone), add a few drops of Wright's Liquid Smoke or even a bit of smoked paprika or chipolte powder. Here's another trick: if you don't want to get a whole package of celery (since you are not a celery user) for the 1/2 cup celery this recipe calls for, use 1/2 teaspoon (or a bit less) celery powder (not salt or seed) instead. You will get the celery taste and not have any celery wastage (so to speak). Lately, I make a bowl of multi-coloured, gluten-free couscous and spoon out some in the soup bowl before covering it with a few hot ladles of this marvellous pea soup.

(KMOV.com) -- Hyundai owners continue to come forward with reports of their vehicles speeding up on their own.
A St. Louis-area man came forward Thursday, the same day an engineer from the car company arrived in St. Louis to look at another car with the same problem.
Jeff Sullivan said his 2012 Hyundai Sonata tried to drive away on its own while sitting at a McDonald's drive through window.
"All I heard was the roar of the engine and the screeching of a tire," he said. "Just sitting there with my foot on the brake and the car just immediately floored itself and lurched forward a few feet."
Sullivan took the car back to the Hyundai dealership in St. Charles, coincidentally the same dealership where the engineer was looking at another car that suddenly accelerated.
The engineer looked at Sullivan's vehicle and gave it a clean bill of health.
"Their official word is there's nothing wrong with the car, we're going to give it a good wash and you can drive home," he said.
Sullivan opted instead to take the car straight to a Kia dealership and traded in his Hyundai for another car.
There's no way my family's getting back in this car," he said. "Luckily there was no one in front of me and luckily I wasnt trying to pull out into traffic, otherwise I would have been creamed."
A spokesman for Hyundai says they can't comment on Sullivan's case until they get more information.
Three St. Louis-area Hyundai owners have now reported experiencing sudden unintended acceleration, but the company insists there's nothing wrong with its cars.

What is financial planning? How can a financial planner help you?
Financial planning is all about making sure that your current and long-term financial needs are met in the best possible way.
There are three stages in the financial planning process - information gathering, analysis and recommendation, and implementation and review.
Stage 1: Information gathering
During your first meeting with your financial planner, they will ask you many questions to get to know you and to determine your financial goals, both long and short term. Your financial planner will consider your current situation - your assets and liabilities, expenses and income. Your financial planner will also determine your risk tolerance, that is, how you feel about risk.
There are no right or wrong answers. Your financial planner is there to learn all about you, so he or she can analyse your situation and recommend a course of action. If you have any questions or concerns, ask away. Your financial planner is there to assist you.
Stage 2: Analysis and recommendation
Your financial planner will analyse the information you have given them in detail. They may determine a single recommended strategy to help you achieve your financial goals or suggest some different options. Once your financial planner has determined this, they will meet with you again.
When you meet with your financial planner to discuss strategy, be prepared to ask lots of questions. Make sure you understand all aspects of the plan before signing anything. Your adviser will go through your plan with you in detail. If you are uncomfortable with any sections, discuss your concerns with your adviser. Depending on how you feel, you may choose to take the information away to read and consider, and then meet again with your adviser.
In addition, in conjunction with your adviser you may choose to modify some sections of the plan. Once you are happy with your plan of action, your financial planner will give you the appropriate forms to complete and sign.
Stage 3: Implementation and Review
Once you have agreed on your plan, it can then be implemented. This may involve opening a new account, consolidating your superannuation accounts and other assets, taking out insurance and more. Your adviser will assist you every step of the way to ensure that your financial plan is implemented with a minimum of fuss. Once your plan has been put in place, you will need to review your plan regularly with your adviser to ensure that it continues to meet your needs, which will change over time.

Why I love the Corrupt and Crime Ridden Catholic Church
Hatred for the Catholic Church comes from all quarters, and one of this attack that the Catholic Church is "corrupt, immoral and riddled with crime" is one of the more typical.
My tweets must have been re-tweeted to a less than sympathetic audience because a reply came floating back that anyone with a conscience should leave the "corrupt, immoral, crime ridden Catholic Church."
What I find curious in the present wave of anti-Catholicism is that the new atheists and the old fundamentalists resort to many of the same attacks on the Catholic religion. Hatred for the Catholic Church comes from all quarters, and one of this attack — that the Catholic Church is "corrupt, immoral and riddled with crime" is one of the more typical.
What no one stops to consider is that no knowledgeable Catholic disputes the fact that there is immorality, crime and corruption in the Catholic Church. We've known that from the beginning. In fact, the Lord Christ himself said that the sheep and the goats would be mingled together and that the wheat and the weeds would grow in the same field. Indeed, among the holy apostles themselves were those who were less than holy. Judas was a traitor who sold his Lord and his soul for a bag of money then went out and hung himself. Peter was a loud mouthed coward, Thomas a timorous doubter, Paul a violent and ignorant man and an accessory to murder. The list could go on.
Of course there is immorality and corruption and crime in the Catholic Church. What did you expect — a tighty whitey sect of grinning do gooders with their hair combed and their shoes shined and their ties tied out handing out gospel tracts? What did you expect a group of nice old ladies who bake cookies and run a soup kitchen? What did you expect — a group of sincere activists who want to bring in a more politically correct world for all the people they happen to feel sorry for? You can certainly find groups of do gooders like that, but they won't be the Catholic Church. They'll be some sort of frightful sect you wouldn't want to join if you had a chance.
Instead, in the Catholic Church — like any group of human beings — you'll find the good and the bad mixed up together. You'll find the agony and the ecstacy — the joy and the sorrow — the sinner and the saint, and isn't that what you'd expect to find if you were looking for an authentic religion? Isn't that what you find when you read the Old Testament? Isn't that what you find when you read human history? Isn't that what you find when you study your own family tree? Isn't that what you find when you look in the mirror?
So I'm not real worried about the Catholic Church being full of crime and corruption and a good number of sinners. It makes me feel at home.
The reason I love the 'corrupt and crime ridden Catholic Church' is that first of all we admit that it is such, and second, we're sorry that it is such and third, that we are trying to do something about it. The Catholic Church might be corrupt and crime ridden, but the Catholic Church is also the only institution that can do anything about it. Of course the Catholic Church is full of sinners. Just like a hospital is full of sick people. The Lord does not call the righteous but sinners to repentance, and since that is the case we should expect that it is sinners who respond to the call, come in out of the cold and ask for the necessary treatments to make things better.
We are all not happy with the crime and sin and corruption in the Catholic Church, but we can't imagine any other church that would be any different. Catholics are a work in progress and those of us who acknowledge we are sinners feel comfortable with other people who are also still working on it. Like an AA group: "Hi I'm Dwight. I'm a sinner."
So I'm not real worried about the Catholic Church being full of crime and corruption and a good number of sinners. It makes me feel at home.
What worries me are the self righteous people who blame the Catholic Church for being such. Do they really think they are so much better than everybody else? Geesh! It's those type of people who give me the creeps — not the sad sinners who sit in our pews week by week. At least they know they need help. The ones who think they don't need help? They're the squeaky clean zombies that make me shudder.

Weskan makes it back to state
Published on -10/25/2012, 9:59 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
Weskan High School graduated first team all-state setter/outside hitter Jori Mote and all-state honorable mention setter/outside hitter Kellie Young. The Coyotes have had four starters miss time because of sickness or injury.
Weskan didn't have a healthy team until sub-state last weekend -- and managed to qualify for the state tournament for the fifth straight season.
"It's what we were hoping for, because they finally all played like how we wanted them to look at the beginning of the year," coach Morgan Welsh (formerly Richmeier) said. "We kind of struggled all season. We won games, but when you have change your rotation about eight times during the season -- it was nice to see that 'OK, now we are back and we know what is going on now.' We are gelling."
The Coyotes lost in pool play last season, finished fourth in 2010 and lost in pool play in '09 and '08.
"The girls know what it is like to go," Welsh, in her third season, said. "They just show up for sub-state."
Weskan is the No. 6 seed at 26-12 and is part of the four-team Poll II at the Class 1A, Division II state volleyball tournament. The Coyotes' first match is 9:30 a.m. against third-seeded Wilson (31-5) on Friday morning at Gross Memorial Coliseum. No. 2 Argonia (34-5) also is in Weskan's pool.
"We just kind of say, we have been practicing since August and it's tears and injuries and all that stuff to get to here and we are here now," Welsh said.
Weskan is glad it's not in the same pool as fifth-seeded Wheatland-Grinnell. The two are in the Western Kansas Liberty League and would like to match up Saturday in the semifinals or finals. Weskan went 1-2 versus the Thunderhawks this year.
"We have two of the toughest teams on our side," Welsh said. "With our injuries and everything, I don't think our record shows where we are at, which is good for us. I think it is going to be tough no matter what, because we are all a state qualifying team and all deserve to be there."
Weskan's problems started on the third day of the season when senior setter Shelley Wamsley fell ill. Wamsley is the leader in the 5-1 offense.
Then junior middle/outside hitter Robyn See and senior outside hitter Kassandra Herrera suffered concussions. Next, sophomore middle/outside hitter Shaelynn Compton suffered an ankle injury. In addition to those four, junior outside/middle hitter Kelsey Hale, sophomore right-side hitter Grace Purvis and freshman outside hitter McKenna Hale start. Younger players played well and some Weskan graduates, stepped in. They sent the current players letters telling them not to give up, which helped.
"They all fought it and came back," Welsh said.

You may have already heard that the Apple iPhone 5S is rumored to be coming with a fingerprint scanner, but did you know that the upcoming HTC One Max is also believed to have similar functionality in store for us? The rumor was recently sparked by a leaked image. And now we have some even newer leaked images that further 'confirm' that the device will come with a fingerprint scanner.
As you can see in the images posted above and below – which come to us via ePrice - there's a cutout for a fingerprint scanner on the HTC One Max. The scanner is visible in the images.
We can't say for sure whether the sensor will make its way on to all versions of the One Max, but the device in the pictures is said to be the phablet's production model for China Unicom.
Meanwhile, the image below is showing an option with a fingerprint in the drop down menu. That appears to be another hint.
Of course, HTC hasn't made anything official. Hopefully they will come out and confirm everything at the IFA.
What are your thoughts about a fingerprint scanner for the HTC One Max? Let us know in the comments below.
Not fan of the scanner, breaks the "flow" of the back. And is it just me or will the One MAX be an insanely tall device, even for its screen size?

AWKWARD! We thought Taylor Swift was getting along great with her new in laws, but sources, and Vicki Kennedy, says she's not welcome in the Kennedy family- not at all! This weekend Taylor crashed a Kennedy wedding in Boston, and she didn't leave after being asked twice to do so, Victoria Gifford Kennedy (the mother of the bride), reveals!
"They texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come", Victoria Kennedy says. "I responded with a very clear, 'Please do not come.' They came anyway. ... I personally went up to Ms. Swift, whose entrance distracted the entire event, politely introduced myself to her, and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me", she continued. OMG, Taylor?! Can you be any more rude to people?! You're not the queen of the world! (bostonherald)

Marina Litvinsky's Inter Press Service review (1/31/09) of "U.S. television coverage of the recent three-week conflict in the Gaza Strip" comes to the unsurprising conclusion that TV journalists "failed to tell both sides of the story, according to a number of media analysts." But a larger trend is in evidence too: "The most recent conflict… garnered some media attention, with an unusually large spike in coverage, but that level sank as the fighting dragged on":
During both the first and second weeks of the attack, including a massive aerial attack and a full-scale ground invasion of the tiny, densely populated Gaza Strip, the conflict was the top story on the nightly newscasts of the three major U.S. networks (ABC, CBS and NBC), where it got 55 minutes of total airtime.
But the first two weeks of fighting were "an aberration in terms of coverage by American broadcast networks", said Andrew Tyndall of the Tyndall Report…. "It's very rare for a foreign story to have that kind of status for two weeks."…
After the initial abnormal spike, however, coverage of Gaza fell significantly. In the week of January 12, the last full week of fighting, the conflict was discussed for a total of 20 minutes by the three networks.
Litvinsky's observation that "U.S. foreign news coverage has been on the decline. In 2008 attention to international news was at its lowest since the Tyndall Report was first published in 1988" prompts the age-old quandary: With a press this bad, is relative silence a blessing?

Nigel Twiston-Davies' Betfair Hurdle winner Splash Of Ginge is likely to run in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Splash Of Ginge, a surprise 33-1 winner of the competitive Betfair Hurdle for Twiston-Davies, is likely to run in the Sky Bet Supreme Novices' Hurdle which opens the meeting, rather than a handicap.
Double Ross, winner of the Stewart Family Thank You Gold Cup and a New Year's Day handicap, will step up in class for the Grade One JLT Novices' Chase.
"Splash Of Ginge is probably going to go for the Supreme Novices, the owner is very keen to go," said Twiston-Davies.
"Double Ross is going to go for the two-and-a-half-mile novice rather than a handicap."

The best and most successful course of action is to gather a team of professionals who agree to communicate and work together to support your pregnancy. This team could consist of a family practice doctor and your psychotherapist, or a pediatrician, an obstetrician, and a psychiatrist. Pick one member of the team to coordinate all your efforts and communicate your wishes to the other members.
If your depression is controlled with psychotherapy, make advance arrangements with your therapist to continue your sessions by telephone or the Internet if you cannot leave your home or you are in the hospital. If medications are needed, ask your team what's best for you and the baby while you search the Internet to discover all the latest information on the pregnancy risks of your antidepressant and potential substitutes. Working with the members of your team, make a chart of every month during your pregnancy that details the risks of medication during each period, and decide in advance what you will do if you become mildly depressed, severely depressed, or disabled by depression. The choices can include increasing your psychotherapy, starting an antidepressant, raising or lowering doses of an antidepressant you are already taking, or changing your medications altogether. Then distribute copies of your chart to each of your team members as a reference for them to consult during your pregnancy. In this way, you will have made the best decisions in advance, and you are unlikely to become overwhelmed if you fall into an episode of unipolar major depression while you are pregnant.

Mom is the breadwinner, but is the family ready?
June 04, 2013
When a Pew Research study revealed last week that women earn the primary or sole income in 40 percent of U.S. households with children, it marked the latest blow to a species whose glory years may be long gone: the American male breadwinner.
In 1960, only 11 percent of women were the sole or primary breadwinners for their families, according to Pew. But today's female breadwinners consist of a considerable percentage of both single mothers (63 percent) and wives who out-earn their husbands (37 percent) -- two groups whose numbers have spiked over the last half-century.
Mom's changing role
It remains unclear, however, whether men and women are fully prepared for this shift. Pew data reveal some seemingly contradictory stances among respondents on whether the rise in breadwinner moms is good for American families.
While another Pew study from 2012 indicated that 79 percent of the respondents reject the notion that women should return to their traditional motherly roles, the figures from the breadwinner study show that 51 percent of respondents feel that children are better off when the mother stays home and doesn't work. Only 8 percent said the same for fathers.
The topic of single motherhood received its own mixed response, with 64 percent saying the trend toward single motherhood is a "big problem." But this marked a decrease from 2007, when 71 percent indicated the same opinion.
What about Dad?
The last five decades have seen a dramatic shift for American fathers. After providing the sole or primary source of income for 89 percent of American families in 1960, they have since seen this share eroded by both single motherhood -- which is more than three times more common today than it was in 1960 -- and higher relative earnings for women. While only 15 percent of wives out-earned their husbands in 2011, according to Pew, that figure was a mere 4 percent in 1960.
These changes may also be contributing to struggles today on how mothers and fathers handle financial decision-making. A recent study conducted for MoneyRates.com showed that American husbands are roughly twice as likely to take the lead decision-making role in families in which one spouse makes the majority of financial decisions -- despite the fact that 84 percent of women felt they were equally or better qualified to take on the family's lead role.
The evolution of family finances
While not every family may be prepared for Mom to become its leading financial figure, these changes are hardly new. The trends detailed in the Pew study are more the result of a continuing evolution than any sudden shifts. American mothers have spent decades accepting new roles to help their families achieve financial security, and there are few signs their prominence in family finances will fade anytime soon.
As for husbands, it may be irrational for them to worry that losing the breadwinner role to their wives will necessarily lead to negatives. The Pew study found that families who have breadwinner mothers out-earn families with breadwinner fathers by an average of about $2,000 a year.

If the last successful thing you did was compile glibc in Ch 6, the solution is easy. Just move on to the "adjusting toolchain section", skip the adjusted linker part, but do perform the GCC specs amendment. After this, perform the sanity check and assuming it's good, carry on with binutils, gcc, etc.

The Antichrist in Muhammad: Introduction to the Series Comments
We have seen in our prior series entitled "The Heart's Witness Against Muhammad" how, in his moral fruits, Muhammad can be identified as a false prophet. We will see in this series entitled "The Antichrist in Muhammad" how, in his doctrinal fruits, Muhammad can also be identified as a false prophet twice over. This series is nothing less than an effort to be responsive to the Lord's warnings regarding false prophets.. Continue Reading

KarlVDH, it is YOUR fear that propels you to deffend the undeffensable-islam-its evil ideology and its intolerant practice we see more and more exploding worldwide. Burying your hand in the sand and trying to do catholics the same will not make islam become the "peaceful, tolerant" religion it never was and never will become.It is up to muslims to change islam or at the least change the way they practice it which normally causes brutal oppression(sharia) or mass-murdering all over the world(jihad).This article helps confronting the dark side of islam(which is its true side) and help muslims truly become peaceful, tolerant..and not the other way around as you fallaciously suggest.

And the only message here is that we live in fear.
That's what Catholicism is?
Where does the Bible promise us a comfortable life, a country of our own, a place in this world?
We're to be IN this world, not OF it. Instead of a ticket out of it, all we're offering is fear OF it.
Shame on us, and shame on C.O. -

Great article.Muhammad is indeed a sinful and a failure , a charlatan worshipoped by millions, but cast away by Jesus to the eternal fire.

I have read Islam's doctrines and the life of it's founder, we can't dialog about Islam because Muslim groups and the Feds throws fits. I have worked with Muslim's in Iraq and family that has worked in Moroc, live and watch what do you want to know. Islam has been at war with this country for about a century, and our leaders don't want to talk about it. You can't get around the Islam's mission statement of the one religion, one God, one prophet; and the whole "slay the infidel were you find them" makes dialog a little troublesome. -

This article is gratuitously divisive. If ever there was a period in human history when all people of faith need to pull together, respect each other, and unite in their identification of the common enemy - Western Secularism - surely this is it. The secularists actively seek to eliminate all faiths, and all people of faith, from society, reducing all of us, at best, to nothing more than quaint relics of a bygone age, utterly irrelevant to modern society. We therefore need to promote respectful dialogue and understanding and work together, focusing our attention on our true enemy, not foment resentment and disrespect among our potential allies in this great struggle.

A..no one is saying that all muslims are terrorists.However it is clear muhamamd WAS a terrorist and therefore, being the "perfect example for muslims to immitate" it is not surprising that there are thousands of incidents involving muslims attacking non-muslims and even other muslims, by using violence, terror and shameless criminal thugish tacts of deceit, intimidation, kidnappings, torture and murder.Not all muslims are terrorists but most terroists are muslims..FACT! And that is not a coincidence because islam preaches and practices terrorism worldwide..if all muslims practiced jihad and terror as muhammad taught you to, being 1.5 billion , we would be living in HELL(similar to muslim countries).
The fact you say you learned about other religions proves you are not being honest and are using taqyya, since islam prohibits muslims from learning anything about other religions; in fact islam teaches muslims to dispise and hate all non-islamic religions, and therefore all non-muslims altogether.islam condones a brutal legal system called sharia that denies EQUAL RIGHTS for non-muslims and even for wimenand ther is not ONE muslim country that allows non-muslims to live, prosper, teach and preach freely their religion without fear of getting killed(not even turkey that used to be seculkar but now is drowning into a islamist abyss). -

Muhammad, islam, the quran are pure evil, pure ruthless curruption and shameless deliberate violence not just against GOD, Jeus, but even agains the very foundations of the human beings, its dignity, not to forget against natural law. I am astouded how so many so called "christians" tend to fear more muslim violence and repirisals than they tend to deffend GOD, His word, his Truthful Loving message, regardless of what satanic violence , lies , threats, or deceits muslim apologists come up with to try to deffend the undeffensible-islam itself! islam is offensive, violenmt, ruthless and the world needs to know aboput oit so we can preach the GOSPEL and practice it as God COMMANDED us to do.God did not say:"preach the gospel only to non-muslim because I fear for your deaths at the hands of mass-murdering jihadists and mujaheddeen terrorists, rapists, theives."I thank andrew has the honesty to address the islamic problem with fearless passion, honesty and REAL CHRISTIAN FAITH!

@A. I can empathize with your sorrow. But I think it is important to be honest about Muhammad. If he were simply your brother, I would not write about him. But he is supposed to be the mouthpiece of God and the perfect human, so he must be judged by strict standards.
You say that Islam acknowledges the Injil (Gospel) and the Tawrah (Old Testament), but this is not true. While the Qur'an does say that, it at the same time teaches things that completely contradict the Gospel. That's what this series is about. Then, Islam teaches that the Injil (i.e., our Gospels) are corrupt, so that if they contradict the Qur'an it is because we corrupted them. So the Injil for the Muslim is equivalent to the Qur'an, and is not the Injil or Gospel of the Christian.
There is not one sacred and central teaching of the Injil which is not rejected by Muhammad, whether it be the Trinity, the Fatherhood of God, the eternal Sonship of Jesus, the Incarnation, the life of grace, the notion of adoption as sons of God in grace, original sin, man's need for redemption, the crucifixion, the atoning death of Jesus, the descent of the Holy Spirit, the role of the Church.
This series does not even address Muslims, but it looks only at Muhammad. There may be Muslims of good will; in fact, I have met some Muslims who, I am convinced, are acting in obedience to their conscience. The only judgment here in this series is upon the objective teachings of Muhammad, and nothing else.

Most Christians are persecuted and jailed in muslim countries and are treated as inferior when
they are the true saints and martyr's of those countries and not vise-versa. Muhammad was not a good man like he is portrayed to be. But propaganda is spread like butter and honey in
muslims countries. Thats the way they are. -
2 years ago
I came across this article, and as a Muslim, I must admit I am saddened with what is written here. Islam acknowledges Injil, the bible, and acknowledges Jesus as one of our prophets before Muhammad.
You read the news about Muslim terrorists, then jump into conclusion that all or at least almost all of them are terrorist? Please, don't look at it so one-sidedly.
Please note also the political, economical background and upbringing of a Muslim that you identify as a terrorist before you immediately judge him or her as an antichrist, and unholy. Any person living a hard life are prone to turn to crimes, regardless of his or her religion.
There are always extremists; Muslim extremists, left-wing extremists, white power extremists. We cannot say that all white people are bad just because of the KKK, or if Russians are bad because of the (tyrannical) communists.
I think before we approach each other with hatred and negative preconceived thoughts, we can never make peace. I know how inevitable conflicts are, but as people who believe in God, I think it's not right to judge one faith with so little knowledge you have about it.
And then brand Muslims as intolerant, violent…whatever you think we are. We are not. I am a Muslim and I've never been taught to bomb countries. I went to school and learn of other religions and they are all wonderful; they teach us of peace and harmony with people and nature.

Saturday Art: Art Outside 2013 Preview
3:20 pm in Uncategorized by Kit OConnell
See Kit's coverage of Art Outside 2012.
I return to Art Outside from October 18-21. This annual outdoor festival in Texas combines music with visual art and performance of many kinds.
Every year, artists from all over the world bring their works and their presence to Art Outside. From dancers to painters to new media makers – Art Outside is teeming with creativity of all forms.
In addition to multiple music stages and daily classes and work shops, Art Outside creates an open air art gallery, complete with docents serving wine. There's something unique, surreal and beautiful about camping but being able to step under a canopy into an elegant art gallery built beneath the sweeping branches of a tree. While we all have expectations about what 'art' means, experiencing it in this environment, mingled with live music and set in the midst of nature, forces the viewer to consider this form in a new way.
One addition to this year's event is the Tea House, a relaxation space near the gallery. Hosted in a Bedouin tent made of wool, it features Saudi-style couches and rugs for lounging. Set apart from the vending and other spaces, it will be devoted to the comfort of Art Outside visitors.
Volunteers will offer tea service in the "Gongfu" style throughout the day. Tea House designer David McCully just returned from providing tea service in the Nevada desert at Burning Man, the massive outdoor arts gathering which is a major influence for Art Outside. The Tea House will feature the visionary artwork of Judibeth Hunter, whose liquid flowing lines and feminine forms should beautifully enhance the sensual, low-key atmosphere of this space.
Some other anticipated highlights of Art Outside 2013:
- Stand-up comedy from the New Movement Theater, Austin's popular improv conservatory.
- Contributions from the artists at 18 Below, an organization devoted to cultivating the talents of teenagers.
- Over 50 bands and musicians, including returning favorites like Katie Gray, Minor Mishap and Wino Vino.
- A larger, longer festival running through Monday rather than ending on Sunday.
If you live in Texas or feel like experiencing some of the best creativity the state has to offer, check out Art Outside (also on Facebook) and be sure to say hello!

She's at it again! The recently single reality star posted yet another message on Instagram on Mar. 1 that appeared to be a direct shot at her ex. What do you think of Khloe's dig?
Is Khloe Kardashian accusing Lamar Odom of not taking responsibility for his actions? That seemed to be what the reality star was saying when she posted yet another cryptic message on Instagram on Mar. 1.
Khloe Kardashian Dissing Lamar Odom?
She's quite an internet poetess, this one. Khloe's message — written in black against a stark white background — was chockfull of symbolism, emotion, and venom. It read, "Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains." Now allow us to translate.
Khloe's basically taking shots at the sort of people who create bad, dramatic situations for themselves, and then get upset when things don't go their way — as if they didn't have anything to do with the negative outcome.
And as it often goes with Khloe's Instagram messages, this one also seemed to be pretty fitting for her breakup with Lamar. Lamar lost sight of his marriage with Khloe due to an alleged drug addiction in 2013, and it was no surprise when Khloe filed for divorce in December. But then recently, Lamar sounded wistful and regretful in an interview with Us Weekly. "She'll always be my wife, no matter what," Lamar said. "Those were some of the best years of my life."
Khloe Kardashian Not Getting Back Together With Lamar Odom
Sounds like someone's getting upset over their personal rainstorm, no? It's no wonder why Khloe has shut down any hope of reuniting with Lamar.
"It would be downright foolish for Khloe to take him back," a source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "It's not even a question or anything, that's simply not going to happen." And after reading Khloe's latest message, that's not too big of a surprise.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

I don't think it's lamar, if it is she is wayyyy to much invested in this for someone who has filed for divorce. So I say its not about lamar. She should have already moved on from this and shouldn't give a dam what lamar says or do, because you don't file for divorce if you are not ready to give up on your marriage.
