December Pregnancy
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/10/2011 4:39 AM ESTComgrats Poppy! Hopefully DH took the news well tonight!. Let us know how he reacted.
tc, yes, that sounds like BH. I didn't know i had BH until I went in to have them monitor me and thebaby for my high BP at 38 weeks and they showed up on the monitor, clear as day. I just thought they were baby movements.
Thanks everyone. DD is settling into nursing and I am BFing now! Why else would I be up posting at 4:30 am? haha Though typing one-handed and at an angle is not easy. Much easier to catch up on others' posts than write my own.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/10/2011 9:43 AM ESTtc, that's exactly how I've heard BH described, and you're at the right time in your pg to experience them.jenn, that's great she's got the hang of it - it sounds like you're off to a great start! How are you feeling re c-section recovery?
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/11/2011 9:47 AM ESTKar, I am going to TJ's after work, thanks for the suggestion. Is it just their brand of CJ?Liz, I missed your question in Nov's thread, sorry. I've found pure cranberry juice (not the juice cocktail that is hardly more than red sugar water) in expensive places like Whole Foods for a WHOLE lot more than what they sell it for at TJs. So, while others are out there, I highly recommend TJ's brand.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/11/2011 11:18 AM ESTTC... like others have said, that sounds like BHs. started noticing them around 30 weeks. First time I had gotten myself a bit dehydrated while out bike riding and so between not having had enough to drink and the physical activity they were pretty "regular" for an hour so it was very obvious to me what they were. Since then I've noticed 2-3 per day. Not painful, but slightly uncomfortable. My whole belly tightens up and there is sometimes a pulling sensation. That is when I can most clearly feel how big my uterus is, because the rest of the time everything just feel squishy. The most noticable thing is how hard my belly feels from the outside ... it is essentially the entire muscular wall clenching even though your not consciously doing anything.
Jenn... good to hear you are doing better! hope your surgery pain is subsiding as well.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 8:43 AM ESTPoppy - Congratulations! I am so happy for you!
TC - I started to get BH around 24 weeks last time and essentially had them constantly even with minimal exertion. They feel exactly how you describe them. I am so excited that you are almost due!!
AFM - I am 17 1/2 weeks and find out the sex this week. I CANNOT wait! The little guy is moving around so that always makes me feel better about things!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 10:27 AM ESTOK, I must admit I've checked the boards at least 3 times this morning hoping to see if all went well with the big news this weekend at Poppy's house. Hope all went well.
LIL, I'm sure it's just me but it feels like your pregnancy is going by so much faster this time around! Can't wait to hear the news!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 10:59 AM ESTMl, I could write the same exact post :-) Waiting for Poppy and just read the previous post and said "17 1/2 weeks already for LIL!!":-)
Re: December Pregnancy

Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 5:35 PM ESTAdd me to the list of people waiting to hear about Mr Poppy's reaction to the big news... :)
Thanks everyone for the info on BH. From what I'd read, I thought they'd be very noticeable and distinct but I'm sure that's what I've been feeling. Definite tugging sensation and all.
I'm so excited for you LIL, hope you are having a nice uneventful pregnancy. I'll always be grateful for your help as I was struggling with the donor egg decision. I couldn't be happier that we decided to go this route!
Another day, another question... has anyone had a baby turn head down fairly late? I learned today that my little angel is still breech and I thought that was pretty normal but the dr said most go head down closer to 32 weeks (I'm 34.5) and if it doesn't by 35.5, it's unlikely he/she will and we'll start talking about a c-section. I'm still cautiously optimistic that the baby will turn but wondered if others had this issue.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 7:53 PM ESTtc95 - if your baby is still breech next week, ask about external versioning - the doc uses their hands outside your belly to try and flip the baby - they also use ultrasound and fetal monitoring to make sure it doesn't cause too much fetal distress.My DD was breech at 35ish weeks too, it is one of the things that annoyed me about my OB, she never even mentioned it, but when I got really upset at the idea of a C-section and asked if there was anything else, she reluctantly (too me it seemed) offered the versioning.I'll be blunt, it can be somewhat painfull, and for first time moms it only works about 1/3 the time (partially due to attempts to turn that cause too much distress, partially due to babies that get turned then turn back on their own), but I had taken a hypnobirthing class, and was planning on (and had) a drug-free delivery, so I used many of the hypnobirthing techniques during the versioning, to relax and it did get DD into the proper position, so I avoided a C-section.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 8:38 PM ESTtc--this past summer my DS#2 was breech until almost 35 weeks on the dot. I had a placental abruption at 34.3 weeks and had to spend a week in the hospital on bedrest. Because of the abruption, I had daily ultrasounds. One day he was breech, the next he was sideways, the next he was head down but feet first, etc. BUT, by the day I was discharged at 35.2 weeks he was head down and stayed that way. So, don't give up hope yet. There's still a little time and a little room to move!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/12/2011 9:45 PM ESTCongrats Poppy!! It has been so long since I have even been online (just seems like there is no time) but I can't wait to hear how it went either!
LIL that is so exciting. I'm super close with you. I'm 18 weeks but my U/S where we find out about the sex of the baby isn't until just after 20 weeks when we have our next appt. I want to know so bad but at the same time don't mind waiting as it may be the last U/S til we meet this little one!
I feel like this pregnancy is going by so much faster. Being so busy with work and DS there just isn't the same time to focus on it. I only keep up to date on whats going on because a pregnancy app on my phone!!
So exciting all the new pregnancies and Jenn congrats on your new LO!
Also, glad to hear those of you that are feeling better and approaching the second trimester!

Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 8:30 AM ESTtc - have you looked at the site http://spinningbabies.com/? Our childbirth instructor recommended it for people whose babies weren't head down yet.
DH and I took a newborn care class last night. I think it was probably good we did, but now DH is freaking out about childproofing the house. I'm glad he's thinking about it, but since I'm not due til the end of January, I think it's a little early to worry about putting up baby gates!
This past weekend was my shower. It was so much fun! And we got a nice mix of practical and adorable stuff. There is still a bunch of stuff we'll have to pick up before the baby arrives, but I think we'll wait til after the holidays and see if we get a few more items before we go complete our registry.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 10:54 AM ESTHa - you are all too funny! I can't thank you enough for the support. I was off yesterday (finishing shopping) so wasn't online all day.
There was about a full minute of silence, which DH explained to be afterward was his total confusion as his brain worked furiously to understand how the test from 2 years ago could still say "pregnant". Then he reacted quite like I did, happy but a bit freaked out. But since that night, he keeps rubbing my belly and giggling, so I think he's ok with it! Phew! It's actually probably good that we're living with my in-laws; all the extra help will come in handy if I'm not feeling well over the next couple of months. We're trying to decide when to tell the family. My opinion is it will be hard to hide it if I am sick or exhausted (DH seems to have NO recollection that I had to nap from about 5-6pm every night last time around). So we'll see.
Pitt - glad you enjoyed your shower!
LIL and LLLE - excited for you about your upcoming big reveal!! We are definitely finding out the gender this time around (didn't last time) and I'm already chomping at the bit!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 11:12 AM ESTPoppy, so glad it went well. You were on my mind yesterday, I admit I was a little nervous as to why we didn't hear from you!
With my DD, my mother in law was living with us so she knew about 10 minutes after we did, we told my parents and sisters the next day because it was Christmas and we were all together and it seemed right. I think if you are sharing a house, you should tell them soon, I am sure they will enjoy being part of the whole experience and I agree, it will be so helpful to have the extra help when you are out cold at 6PM or so sick you can't deal with baby Z. for the moment.
I have to admit, over the weekend DH and I had an in-home date night involving too much wine and a teary conversation about how we both on the one hand would love another baby, and on the other hand there are a number of serious, significant reasons not too. The conversation needed to happen. Your unexpected news was a catalyst, and one I am very grateful for!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 11:32 AM ESTtc- thats interesting to hear when babies turn (for the most part)... I am 28 weeks and I can't find any info on when MOST babies flip. I know they are almost all (about 5-7%) vertex by birth. Apparantly its the natural shape of the uterus and the natural movements that healthy, term babies make that get them all to turn later on in utero.
From a nursing standpoint, you should DEF ask about a version if you're interested. If you ultimately have to go that way, it helps to ask who at your practice has the most success. Its an acquired skill, and some OBs or midwives have much better skill than others. It sounds like your OB may not be so confident, but that shouldn't mean you have to have surgery! There is also a ton of new research that shows that doing a version EARLIER in pregnancy (like 35 weeks) is more successful then doing it in late pregnancy, which is typical because the baby is smaller and there is more fluid BUT you don't know which of those 35 weekers will have naturally turned by the traditional 38 weeks they do versions. You can look up more info as the time gets closer (or right now if you're anything like me!!)
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 12:12 PM ESTML - I'm glad you and DH had the conversation, though I'm sorry if it was sad, in part. :( I hope you're able to come to a decision you both are ok with, in the long run.
I think you're probably right about the in-laws. Maybe we'll do an xmas announcement. If not then, definitely a new-years announcement.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 2:09 PM ESTPoppy - Glad the big revelation went well!
Has anyone on here bought a used breast pump? My SIL found a Medela for a really good price on craigslist. On the surface, the idea feels kind of sketchy but I don't have a good reason why, and I'd love to take a big-ticket item off my registry :-). Thoughts?

Posted by Arcain
I think you can buy new hoses and parts so really the only used item would be the motorized pump, right? I think that seems pretty practical!
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 2:45 PM ESTArcain, my SIL gave me her pump and I kept it at home and took my new pump to my office when I went back to work. I loved having two pumps and not having to haul it back and forth and I could not have done it buying new. I never had a problem with a used pump and did not even bother buying new tubes and parts.
I have BCBS and got a free pump from the LC at the hospital (it arrived the day I got home from the hospital), the second one came from my SIL. Personally, I'd say get a used pump for small dollars, hope you can get a free one at the hospital and enjoy the benefits of both.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 2:59 PM ESTArcain - I also used a "used" pump, although it was lent to me by a friend. I think it's a great idea, especially because you will buy all the parts that actually touch you or the milk.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 6:46 PM ESTThanks ladies for the thoughts on when baby might flip. Amy-lynn, my dr was definitely more forthcoming than yours- she did mention versioning (or is it just version?) to me and said they could try that but it has less chance of working as it's a first baby. Was yours the first? I asked about acupuncture and she said that might be worth trying as well. The version thing scares me- I've heard it's painful, might not work, and could cause the baby some distress. Hugh- the dr told me they don't try version until 37 weeks in case the baby goes into distress and they need to operate. I hadn't seen much info on when the baby goes head down either so it didn't occur to me that it was getting late until the dr mentioned it yesterday. Pitt, I'll check out that site, I'm willing to try non-invasive type options but otherwise I'll just keep hoping he/she decides to cooperate- with DH's genes, I'm sure the baby is a natural procrastinator....
Yay Poppy for the good reaction from hubby!
Some insurance companies pay for breast pumps but I'm not sure if that's always the case or if it's only in certain situations. I'm sort of counting on that though and haven't purchased one.
Re: December Pregnancy
posted at 12/13/2011 8:45 PM ESTWe got a prescription for a breast pump due to my latch issues (though they didn't tell me that I would get one until the day before we were discharged, and we couldn't get in touch with the insurance company to determine what was covered, since it was the weekend). We ended up purchasing a pump through Isis since they deal with the insurance side themselves. It ended up costing us about $90 for a copay, but that is so much better than $300-ish. We have BCBS too.

UBS sells Solothurner Bank to Bâloise Insurance.
Bâloise Insurance is acquiring Solothurner Bank SoBa from UBS. The transaction, due to be finalized this autumn, is still to receive approval from the Swiss supervisory authorities. It has been agreed by both parties that the price of the transaction should not be disclosed. The difference between the proceeds for UBS and the book value is not substantial.
By selling Solothurner Bank SoBa, UBS is complying with a condition set out by the Swiss Competition Commission as a result of the merger between Swiss Bank Corporation and Union Bank of Switzerland that it sells its subsidiary bank by spring 2003 at the latest.
Based in the town of Solothurn, Solothurner Bank operates 19 branches. With a strong presence in the canton of Solothurn and its bordering regions, the bank has a reputation for proximity to its markets and a high level of competitiveness, focusing on the business areas of mortgage lending, investment advisory services, asset management and SME financing. In 1999, it achieved a net profit of CHF 28.7 million and has a staff of around 400.

Intended primarily for students majoring in the liberal arts. The course develops the theory of electricity from an historical perspective. Sufficient background in circuit theory, resonance, field theory and radio waves is given to provide an understanding of the principles of radio from its antecedents in the nineteenth century through the invention of the transistor in the mid twentieth century. The fundamental contributions of, for example Volta, Oersted, Morse, Maxwell, Faraday, Hertz, Lodge, and Marconi are considered. In the present century the technical advances of such figures as de Forest, Fleming, Fessenden, Armstrong and Shockley are studied. The growth, regulation and culture of American broadcasting are also central to the course. Laboratory work is required and students may use this course toward fulfilling the General Education (science/experimental component) requirement of the University. Not open to students in the College of Engineering.

Releases @ TCC
Media Contact: Laurie White,
Chief Communications Officer
PORTSMOUTH, Va. – (Jan. 22, 2004) – Tidewater Community
College will host a free performance of the play, "Willow
Song," on Feb. 3 at 12:30 p.m. at the Portsmouth Campus theatre.
"Willow Song" weaves together interviews with victims
of relationship violence, friends of a murdered student, domestic
violence counselors, police and perpetrators with excerpts from
Shakespeare's "Othello". The play seeks to transcend
the death of one individual to illustrate the costs of relationship
violence. Old Dominion University theatre students and faculty
wrote "Willow Song" in memoriam after an ODU theatre
student was killed by her boyfriend in March of 2002.
The play was originally scheduled to be performed in the fall,
but was delayed due to Hurricane Isabel. The performance is free
and open to the general public.
TCC's Women's Center and Genieve Shelter representatives
will be available following the performance to answer questions
and provide support services about domestic violence issues.
"This production is part of our ongoing effort to educate
TCC students and the community about domestic violence," says
Sally Daniel with TCC's Women's Center. "Our
efforts include programs and outreach activities that we hope will
work to end gender-based violence," she adds.
For more information please call Patti Williams at the Women's
Center (757) 822-2160.
Community College is the second largest of the 23 community colleges
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, enrolling more than 34,000 students
annually. The 37th largest in the nation's 1,600 community-college
network, TCC ranks among the 50 fastest-growing large community
colleges. Founded in 1958 as a part of the Virginia Community College
System, the college serves the South Hampton Roads region with campuses
in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach as well as
the TCC Jeanne and George Roper Performing Arts Center in the theater
district in downtown Norfolk and a regional Advanced Technology
Center in Virginia Beach. Forty-three percent of the region's residents
attending a college or university in Virginia last fall were enrolled
at TCC.

Sam Raimi really wants Hilary Swank to play an old witch. Thank you?
The Oz: The Great and Powerful director is championing Swank to play the elder witch but Disney has noticed that most of her films tank hard, and they aren't so up on the idea. Their solution: Michelle Williams. Which seems kind of left field.
Raimi famously fought for Tobey Maguire over Wes Bentley back when he was making Spider-Man. And look how that paid off. Maguire still does a movie from time to time and Wes Bentley recently captivated audiences with his performance in Jonah Hex.
Nobody's sure how far Raimi is going to let the battle go, but I don't see him backing down that easily. Besides if he stalls long enough, Michelle Williams is likely to be snatched up by some indie that needs an actress really good at scenes that require crying in the shower. (Vulture)

Nope. Nothing as of this writing. There is an account management tab, so I can add more money to my virtual wallet to spend online without having to go to the store. Is that what the update did? There is a funny thread on PS3forums where people each wonder if a bug that has been bothering them has been fixed by the update, but no one seems to know what the update has done
Further reading reveals that the firmware update did, indeed, adjust nothing except the online wallet system. With very little official word from Sony and a huge laundry list of unfixed bugs, things are not getting any better for the PS3, all the way from manufacture to being plugged into a TV. A shame.

Wooden stool
From Thebes, Egypt
Perhaps mid-late 18th Dynasty, about 1400-1300 BC
A seat for an official
The elaborate nature of this stool suggests it was made for an élite official. A similar example was found in the tomb of Kha, the foreman of the workmen at Deir el-Medina in the reign of Amenhotep III.
The cylindrical legs are incised and inlaid with small pieces of ivory in lotus petal and drop shapes. The braces between the legs end in ivory ferrules, to cover the joins of the wood. The central part of the seat has disappeared, but it is clear from traces that it consisted of a piece of leather which was glued onto the frame.
Much simpler stools have been found next to the workmen's village at Deir el-Medina and were probably used by craftsmen to sit on while they worked.

Congratulations to Isha Jain, Janelle Schlossberger, and Amanda Marinoff, this year's prize winners at the prestigious Siemens competitions for high school science research. Jain won the individual competition and was awarded a $100,000 scholarship. Schlossberger and Marinoff will share another $100,000 scholarship for their team research, while Alicia Darnell took home the second place individual prize, a $50,000 scholarship.
That's awesome with no qualifiers. These students are being rewarded for thousands of hours of effort and research that is graduate-level and publication quality. I've got a certain fondness for science fair competitions and their winners, and I wish these women every success as they go forward in college and beyond. I hope that they will continue to find supportive mentors and have adequate resources for research. I hope that, if they choose, they will continue to do research, publish, and maybe someday join me in academia.
But I also hope that someday these sort of headlines ("Girls dominate the Siemens competition", "Science Contest Glass Ceiling Shattered", "Go Girl Geeks! Technology prize has all female winners") will be unnecessary, and can simply read something like "Sixteen year old high school senior wins science competition."
The headlines are screaming because this is the first time in the 9-year old competition that girls have taken top honors. More than half of this year's finalists were women. Again, that's great. But I'd like to see the day when it won't take almost a decade for a girl to win a science contest. In fact, it will be so commonplace that headline writers won't even need to mention the winner's gender. Everyone will take for granted that girls can be good at science.
At least below their exclamatory headline ("Girls Make History by Sweeping Top Honors at a Science Contest.") the New York Times provides some balance:
The three girls' victories is "wonderful news, but I can't honestly say it's shocking," said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. …
"Why do people think girls can't do science?" Dr. Hopkins said yesterday. "Where did this crazy idea ever come from?"
Now if we could only convince the headline writers, the competition judges, the chauvinist men, the parents, the boys, and sometimes even the girls themselves of this fact, we'll be well on way to gender-free science headlines.

Servlet Interview Tips Questions and Answers
Question: What is the Max amount of information that can be saved in a Session Object ?
There is no such limit on the amount of information that can be saved in a Session Object. The only limit is the Session ID length , which should not exceed more than 4K.

The three major reasons to use inter servlet communication are: a) Direct servlet manipulation - allows to gain access to the other currently loaded servlets and perform certain tasks (through the ServletContext object) b) Servlet reuse - allows the servlet to reuse the public methods of another servlet. c) Servlet collaboration - requires to communicate with each other by sharing specific information (through method invocation)
Question: What is a output comment?
A comment that is sent to the client in the viewable page source. The JSP engine handles an output comment as un interpreted HTML text, returning the comment in the HTML output sent to the client. You can see the comment by viewing the page source from your Web browser.
Question: What is a Hidden Comment
Hidden Comments are JSP comments. A comments that documents the JSP page but is not sent to the client. The JSP engine ignores a hidden comment, and does not process any code within hidden comment tags.
Question: What are the differences between a session and a cookie?
Session is stored in server but cookie stored in client. Session should work regardless of the settings on the client browser. There is no limit on the amount of data that can be stored on session. But it is limited in cookie. Session can store objects and cookies can store only strings. Cookies are faster than session.
Question: What is HttpTunneling?
HTTP tunneling is used to encapsulate other protocols within the HTTP or HTTPS protocols. Normally the intranet is blocked by a firewall and the network is exposed to the outer world only through a specific web server port, that listens for only HTTP requests. To use any other protocol, that by passes the firewall, the protocol is embedded in HTTP and send as HttpRequest.
Question: How to pass information from JSP to included JSP?
By using jsp:param tag.
Question: What is the better way to enable thread-safe servlets and JSPs? SingleThreadModel Synchronization?
The better approach is to use synchronization. Because SingleThreadModel is not scalable. SingleThreadModel is pretty resource intensive from web server's perspective. The most serious issue is when the number of concurrent requests exhaust the servlet instance pool. In that case, all the un serviced requests are queued until something becomes free - which results in poor performance.
Question: What is the difference between ServletContext and PageContext?
ServletContext gives the information about the container and PageContext gives the information about the Request
Question: Why in Servlet 2.4 specification SingleThreadModel has been deprecated?
SingleThreadModel is pretty resource intensive from web server's perspective. When the number of concurrent requests exhaust the servlet instance pool, all the un serviced requests are queued until something becomes free - which results in poor performance.
Question: How can I set a cookie?
Cookie c = new Cookie("name","value");
Question: How will you delete a cookie?
Cookie c = new Cookie ("name", null);
Question: What is the difference between Context init parameter and Servlet init parameter?
Servlet init parameters are for a single servlet only. No body out side that servlet can access that. It is declared inside the
Question: What are the different ways for getting a servlet context?
We will get ServletContext by calling getServletConfig ().getServletContext (). This is because a ServletConfig always hold a reference to ServletContext. By calling this.getServletContext () also we will get a ServletContext object.
Question: What is the difference between an attribute and a parameter?
The return type of attribute is object, where the return type of parameter is String. The method to retrieve attribute is getAttribute () where as for parameter is getParamter (). We have a method setAttribute to set an attribute. But there is no setters available for setting a parameter.
Question: How to make a context thread safe?
Synchronizing the ServletContext is the only solution to make a ServletContext thread safe.
Eg: synchronized (getServletContext ()) {
// do whatever you want with thread safe context.
Question: What is the difference between setting the session time out in deployment descriptor and setting the time out programmatically?
In DD time out is specified in terms of minutes only. But in programmatically it is specified in seconds. A session time out value of zero or less in DD means that the session will never expire. To specify session will never expire programmatically it must be negative value.
Question: How can we set the inactivity period on a per-session basis?
We can set the session time out programmatically by using the method setMaxInactiveInterval() of HttpSession.
Question: How can my application get to know when a HttpSession is removed?
You can define a class which implements HttpSessionBindingListener and override the valueUnbound() method.
Question: How many cookies can one set in the response object of the servlet? Also, are there any restrictions on the size of cookies?
If the client is using Netscape, the browser can receive and store 300 total cookies and 4 kilobytes per cookie. And the no of cookie is restricted to 20 cookies per server or domain
Question: When a session object gets added or removed to the session, which event will get notified ?
HttpSessionBindingListener will get notified When an object is added and/or removed from the session object, or when the session is invalidated, in which case the objects are first removed from the session, whether the session is invalidated manually or automatically (timeout).
Question: What is URL Encoding and URL Decoding ?
URL encoding is the method of replacing all the spaces and other extra characters into their corresponding Hex Characters and Decoding is the process of converting all Hex Characters back to their normal form.
Question: What is the difference between an applet and a servlet?
Servlets run inside a web server and applets run inside web browsers. Applets must have graphical user interfaces whereas servlets have no graphical user interfaces.
Question: What are the different web servers available name few of them?
Tomcat, Java Web Server, JRun
Question: What are the different types of ServletEngines?
The different types of ServletEngines available are:- Standalone ServletEngine: This is a server that includes built-in support for servlets. Add-on ServletEngine: It is a plug-in to an existing server. It adds servlet support to a server that was not originally designed with servlets in mind.
Question: What is a Session Id?
It is a unique id assigned by the server to the user when a user starts a session.
Question: What is use of parseQuestion:ueryString ?
It parses a query string and builds a Hashtable of key-value pairs, where the values are arrays of strings. The query string should have the form of a string packaged by the GET or POST method.
Question: When init() and Distroy() will be called.
init() is called whenever the servlet is loaded for the first time into the web server. Destroy will be called whenever the servlet is removed from the web server.
Question: What is the use of setComment and getComment methods in Cookies ?
setComment: If a web browser presents this cookie to a user, the cookie's purpose will be described using this comment. This is not supported by version zero cookies.
getComment: Returns the comment describing the purpose of this cookie, or null if no such comment has been defined.
Question: Why we are used setMaxAge() and getMaxAge() in Cookies ?
setMaxAge : Sets the maximum age of the cookie. The cookie will expire after that many seconds have passed. Negative values indicate the default behavior, and will be deleted when the browser closes.
getMaxAge : Returns the maximum specified age of the cookie. If none was specified, a negative value is returned, indicating the default behavior described with setMaxAge.
Question: What is the use of setSecure() and getSecure() in Cookies ?
setSecure method indicates to the web browser that the cookie should only be sent using a secure protocol (https). getSecure method returns the value of the 'secure' flag.

DENTON – Making
the Texas Woman's University College of Nursing the leader in nursing
research and education in Texas and a model for the entire United
States is the goal of Dr. Marcia Hern, the college's new dean. Dr.
Hern begins her duties at TWU on Aug. 16.
"Dr. Hern has a
unique understanding of what is required to produce the highest
quality nurses to meet the demands of the 21st century," said
Dr. Carolyn Gunning, TWU interim provost and former College of Nursing
dean. "She's the ideal choice to launch the college's next
half century." The TWU College of Nursing is celebrating its
golden anniversary in 2004.
Dr. Hern currently is
director of nursing for the Cincinnati Children's Division of Developmental
Disabilities and executive director for community outreach and development
for the University of Cincinnati College of Nursing. She is a professor
of nursing at the University of Cincinnati and was head of the Department
of Parent Child Health Nursing at UC. She also had taught at Xavier
"It will be our
challenge at TWU to broaden our scholarship so that all faculty
embody research into their teaching," said Dr. Hern. "As
we prepare nurses for the 21st century we must still impart the
essence of caring to patients across the lifespan, at moments of
birth and death, in hospitals, homes, schools and industries. But
now, more than ever, we must also draw upon the knowledge of the
science of nursing that is embedded in evidence-based research."
Dr. Hern earned her bachelor
of science degree in nursing from Ohio State University and her
master's and Ed.D degrees from the University of Cincinnati.
"Our future nurses
must be able to think critically and quickly to make sound clinical
decisions with limited resources," added Dr. Hern. "We
cannot do this alone but must partner with our colleagues in other
health care disciplines to ensure nursing has a seat at the interdisciplinary
and global table."

Local Houston County residents visit Washington for Tea Party
Houston County Courier - August 2009
By Virginia Lewis
Contributing Writer
East Texas Tea Party members joined the march amassed at the U.S. Capitol on Saturday Sept. 12.
The activists came from Crockett, Lindale, Tyler, Jefferson, Palestine, and surrounding areas.
A total of 55 people from the Pineywoods chartered a bus to join other Tea Party members throughout the U.S.
Virginia and Billy Joe Lewis represented the Houston County Tea Party.
The attendees from the area were quite meek and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this being the first time in their lives to protest.
When they stepped off the bus there was an enormous crowd, so compact one could hardly move.
Then they were greeted by a sea of protestors chanting "Can You Hear Me Now."
Many of their fears evaporated and they joined in the chant with their voices ringing through the air without the slightest hint of embarrassment, rancor or incivility.
"Waving the Texas flag the excitement continued as the group waved placards propelled by their belief that runaway spending of the government needed to be challenged, the voice of the people should be heard and the safety of our country must be protected," said an attendee
The parade route was not supposed to start until 11:30 a.m. but the plaza was so full by 10 a.m. the police had to close Pennsylvania Avenue.
"Many of us believe this was the day the silent majority in our nation stepped up and could be referred to in the future as the day that changed America," said Mrs. Lewis.
The majority of the placards reflected the concern over massive spending, TARP, the stimulus, Health care reform, cap and trade and the social change.
The focus of much of the anger was directed at the overhaul of the U.S. health system, along with growing resentment over negative remarks made by political leaders at town hall meetings calling them "an angry mob, racist, Astroturf, and un-American."
"Other new gripes reflected the opposition to the number of czars Obama appointed. Rep. Tom Price of Georgia speaking at the rally picked up on the theme," Mrs. Lewis said
"It's people, not czars, that run the country. Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana too reminded the audience that nowhere in our Constitution can you find the word czar.
Addressing the crowd he said, "after years of fighting runaway government on the hill, you people look like the cavalry to me."
He said I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening.
The massive outpouring of distrust of government was evident at the rally and the organizers who took to the stage repeated over and over the purpose was to show Washington and the media that "We the people" have a voice that should be heard.
Many felt the politicians and president were bankrupting the country, not protecting the nation's security, apologizing to terrorists, and eroding the values and principles the Christian nation was founded upon.
"The echo was clear – you can hear us now or you will hear us in 2010-2012," Mrs. Lewis said.
Andrew Moylan, of the National Taxpayers Union, received a roar of approval after he told protestors, "Hell hath no fury like a taxpayer ignored."
Signs reading "Go Green, Recycle Congress, and I am not your ATM," "Don't share my wealth – share my work ethic" reflected the taxpayers' outrage over borrowing, spending and bailouts saying enough is enough.
Organizers said they had built on momentum from the April "tea party" demonstrations held nationwide and would continue to step up and speak up as long as the deficit spending was out of control and placing our country at risk.
The police told the group members the crowd was estimated at 1.5 million and based on the high density, massive and intensive crowd they were very pleased that there was not even one arrest.
They were quoted saying "The volume exceeded their expectations but it was an orderly, respectful, march and actually they left no trash behind at all."
The East Texas group started the march around 8:30 a.m. and stayed until the end around 4 p.m.
A highlight at the end of the rally was an invitation by Congressman Louie Gohmert of Tyler to tour the capitol.
He spent three hours sharing the history of the nation, escorting the group into the Hall of Congress, House and the Senate Chambers and responding to questions the group members asked.

Very Nice Slow Cooker

Daughters little helper!
I bought this for my daughter who lives alone and works long hours. This perfect little cooker allows her to come home to a perfectly heated and cooked meal! For the money ,One of the best gifts I have ever given !Read More
good deal
I use a crock-pot more the older I get and I'm really enjoying this one. I've only made two meals with it, so far, but it works very well. It does cook a bit faster than the older models.. so you may want to shorten your cooking time somewhat. Very easy to clean and I love the oval shape for whole chickens.Read More
Ideal slow cooker for me!
This is a great slow cooker for the price. It's very sturdy, cooks evenly, and a heats up a bit faster than the older model slow cookers. The cord is just a bit on the short side by a few inches, but it is exactly as described on the O.Co site. I cooked with it for the first time this evening and my meal came out PERFECT! It's a simple snap to clean it too, once it cools down; of course. One thing I must point out is that the desciption on the O.Co site says that this slow cooker has a timer; but it does not. Additionally, the slow cooker should have an "ON" indicator light, and it does not. This is not discussed in the product description on the O.Co site. Don't worry O.Co, I'm not going runnning off to another retailer over a few minor details that are easily correctable! O.Co offers the BEST products at the BEST possible prices; not to mention their FIRST CLASS customer service! O.Co ROCKS and I am their loyal customer for as long as they keep knocking the blocks off of their competition! By the way, I highly recommend this slow cooker as a must have for any kitchen! Order one today before they run out! I'd go order it now if I was you!Read More
Bought for daughter
I live in Boston, but bought this crockpot for my 23 year old daughter in San Diego, who just got her own apartment. She loves it! She has made chicken with potatoes and veggies, and said it was great to have a hot, cooked meal when she got home from work. She's also made hot mulled wine several times--perfect size for having friends over and sharing. She loves that it has both a high, low, and warm setting.Read More
good little plain cooker
Well, the price is excellent, but there are not any bells and whistles. No timer, etc. But the basic cooker works, the container in which one puts the food is substantial, and the lid fits nicely. As with all appliances, the cord is short, but who cares?Read More

The role of communication has been very significant since the beginning of history. With the development of science and technology, the forms and way of communication have become more specialized. In a country like India, so vast and varied, modern mass media alone does not constitute the sum total of communication channels. We have T.V., newspaper, internet etc. But the millions of people in rural areas have no regular access to such mass media due to poverty and illiteracy. With 35 per cent of the population unlettered and with the media's reach largely restricted to urban areas-information, education & entertainment do not reach a large majority of the people. Our society is characterized by a complex social system with different caste, classes, creeds, and tribes. The high rate of illiteracy and poverty added to the inadequacy of the mass media to reach almost 700 million people who reside in village. To them, the mass media proved to be glamorous, impersonal and unbelievable in comparison with the familiar performance of traditional artist whom the villagers could not only see and hear but even touch emotionally. The traditional media can be used to reach these people in the process of change and development of the country. Traditional folk media have a remarkable impact on rural society because of their acceptable idioms, functional significance and entertainment component. Folk media can overcome the difficulty of language, speech, words and other barriers of communication like, interest, understanding, interpretation, attitude and perception. Traditional folk media are the most important vehicle of social change. While a lot of modification may be needed to convey social as well as agricultural messages, traditional media will easily carry social issue related to the rural development. Today, both the traditional and modern media are complement each other. Therefore, we need to keep our traditional media alive by continuously and cautiously, as well as possible with the modern media. These traditional media will not only help in the development activities, but will also help in preserving and transmitting our culture, tradition and values to the next generation.

Construction of Oxea's new specialty derivatives plant in China well on track
Published March 4, 2013
"China is the main growth engine for the Asia-Pacific region," said Miguel Mantas, Executive Board member for Marketing and Sales. "Thanks to the favorable strategic location of our new plant we will be able to better serve our customers in the region and at the same time further strengthen Oxea's leading global market position. Initially the Oxea Nanjing plant will produce specialty esters, phthalate-free plasticizers and other oxo derivatives for the local market. But we already have plans for new investments into the plant – along with sufficient space and resources to implement future expansions at Nanjing," he continued.
Cristóbal Ascencio, Vice President of Marketing Oxo Derivatives at Oxea, addressed the manifold application areas of Oxea's specialty esters that will be produced at Nanjing: "Our new plant will allow us to service the booming Asian market for plasticized PVB film, which is used in safety glass laminates for automotive, architectural, and decorative glass. And, among others, our specialty esters are important building blocks for the production of eco-efficient lubricants for compressors."

With so many clever uses for popcorn, it's hard not to be in love with Halloween. Plus, there's a never ending list of Halloween movies. And we all know that nothing – nothing – goes better with movies than our popcorn. So we've generated this list of our favorite spooky family films and perfectly paired them with special flavors of our bewitching popcorn, for a Halloween movie night that will become legendary.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Grave Plot: Jack, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, becomes obsessed with Christmas. He employs the help of Halloween Town's other residents (including bats, ghouls, and goblins) to recreate Christmas in lieu of their annual Halloween festivities.
Fright Factor: Oogie Boogie is slightly terrifying and not everyone's accustomed to limbs and heads being detachable. But it's animated. So it's not super scary or anything.
Popcorn Pairing: Monster Munch. Crunchy popcorn cloaked in sweet fruit flavors is sure to be a hit in your Halloween Town. (And yeah, it does happen to match the movie's color scheme.

Hey, hey, hey popcorn people! Halloween is just around the corner, so you're probably busting out the fake spiders, readying the netted cobwebs, and practicing your monster mash. But while you're getting amped up for a spooky Halloween, don't forget your all-time favorite snack: popcorn! It's easy to make popcorn super creepy without a lot of work that other themed party snacks require. You've probably already heard of, seen, and/or made those clear gloves stuffed with popcorn, right? Yeah, old news. We can do better than that. Much better.
1. Werewolf Fur
Arroooo! (Oh yeah, that's a werewolf cry.) This popcorn is sure to make them howl – in a good way. Take your delicious, crunchy popcorn and drizzle it with melted chocolate – either dark or milk, it doesn't matter. Next, take a plethora of coconut shavings and toss it into the mixture and you've got a treat they'll be over the moon about (well, maybe not over it, but barking at it, at any rate).
2. Vampire Bites
No matter their blood type, they won't be able to reject this perfectly creepy popcorn. Take out your ordinary kettle corn and grab your oil. But instead of making it the usual way, you're going to take some nice crimson cherry jell-O and add it into the cooking oil. To make it look slightly more realistic, you'll want to make it darker by adding in a drop or two of red, green, and/or blue food coloring. After completing your perfect sanguine snack, don't be afraid to drizzle on some chocolate too.

The greatest modern foods have a habit of being surprisingly not so new. Who would have thought pizza is as old as the wheel? Or that chocolate emerged around the same time as Stonehenge's completion? Well, like other delicious foods that are enjoyed around the world today, popcorn is a lot older than you may think. Evidence suggests that it dates back to 4700 BCE in Peru. Later, popcorn became a favorite of those native to North America, who eventually introduced it to the English in the 16th and 17th centuries.
But this favorite snack didn't really gain popularity until times were hard. During desperate years, people sought out ways to be distracted from their troubles and during the Great Depression, nothing was a better diversion than movies. Because popcorn was sold in 5 and 10 cent bags, it was cheap enough for most people to afford, causing sales to increase dramatically. Then, nearly a decade later, popcorn sales increased again with the onset of World War II, though for a different reason. People were still regularly enjoying handfuls of popped corn, but during the war, sugar was rationed, becoming so scarce that the supply of candy made in America was greatly depleted. And people filled the void of sweets with savory popcorn.
In the 1980s, microwaves became more commonplace, causing a shift in where the snack was being consumed. Instead of going to the movies to enjoy handfuls of pop, people could eat it almost instantly in their own homes. Today, only 30% of all popcorn is consumed outside the home.

As good as it may be, a whole bag of popcorn can sometimes be too much for one person…or even a few people. But that doesn't mean that you should let your leftovers go to waste. Instead of putting your popcorn in the trash, make good use of it by employing some of these ideas:
Pack It Up
Whether you're going green or just don't have Styrofoam peanuts lying around, popcorn can help. It makes a great packing material. Think about it: is it really that much different than packing peanuts? It's soft on the stuff you're shipping, but tough enough to withstand the journey.
Deck the Halls
If it's around December, using popcorn in your decorations is a no brainer. Round up some cranberries, string, and a blunt needle to make a popcorn garland. Popcorn wreaths are another great idea. And even if you're not decorating for the holidays, you can still use garlands and wreaths. If you want to make them a little more festive, try dying the popcorn with food coloring or tempera paints. Wreaths and garlands are a great festive look all year round and can look adorable around your home during birthdays, holidays, and parties.

Ron Paul Wins Historic Vote Total In Ames Straw Poll

Ron Paul 2012
Aug 14, 2011
Dr. Paul shatters expectations, proves strength of candidacy
AMES, Iowa– Congressman Ron Paul won 4,671 votes in today's Iowa Republican Straw Poll, topping Governor Mitt Romney's vote total from 2007 and drawing a near statistical tie with today's winner at 27.6 percent of the vote versus 28.5 percent.
Dr. Paul's finish earned him a strong second place and it was the fourth highest vote total ever received by a candidate at the important test of candidate strength.
Said campaign chairman Jesse Benton,
"Dr. Paul is surging in this race, and today's results show the strength of his grassroots support and top notch organization.
"These straw poll results, our growing poll numbers and our strong fundraising shows that our message is resonating with Iowans and Americans everywhere.
"Our message was the same in 2007 as it is in now in 2011, but this time we have quadrupled our support. That means our message is spreading, our support is surging, and people are taking notice.
"We are uniting a coalition of longtime supporters, fiscal conservatives, constitutional conservatives, independents, tea party and anti-big government activists to take on the Washington establishment.
"Today, Ron Paul has emerged as a top tier candidate and is a serious contender to win the Republican nomination and the Presidency."

Official: Cold water + Overconfidence = Drowning
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- People are taking advantage of the warm weather by taking a dip in the river, but before you go, a Douglas County official has a few tips.
Douglas County Fire District #2 Fire Marshal Josep Pedrola says it's not a good idea to swim long distances, and you should pay attention to signs your body gives you.
The rivers in Douglas County this time if year are cold, and even if you are a swimmer, he says it's important to know your limits. "Firefighters respond almost every year consistently to drowning," Pedrola said. "Comments from family and friends are, 'He or she was a good swimmer.' Unfortunately, they underestimate their capabilities."
Pedrola says overconfidence can contribute to the problem.
He urges people to pay attention to signs along the river.
If you're going boating, you still need to be safe and wear a life jacket.

The Joan H. Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics
About Genetic Counseling
Home of the nation's first—and still largest—graduate program in genetic counseling, Sarah Lawrence has trained more than half of the country's genetic counselors. Characterized by innovation at the nexus of health, science, and society, this world-renowned program prepares students for the multiple career opportunities that currently exist for genetic counselors.
The mission of the Joan H. Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics is to improve healthcare for all people by educating genetic counselors that are prepared to meet current and future needs of their clients, their communities, their profession and society at large.
The Joan H. Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics was named to honor its long-time director, Joan H. Marks, in 2006. Over the course of nearly three decades as director, Marks developed the program into a national model for the education and training of genetic counseling professionals.
Genetic counselors work as part of a health care team, providing information and support to families whose members have birth defects or genetic disorders, or who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions. They identify families at risk; interpret information about the disorder; analyze inheritance patterns and risks of recurrence; discuss the risks, benefits, and limitations of genetic testing; review available options with families; and provide supportive counseling. They serve as patient advocates, educators, administrators and researchers. Genetic counselors also function as a resource for health care professionals, diagnostic laboratories and biotechnology companies, insurers, lobbyists, public health agencies and the general public.
The Joan H. Marks Graduate Program in Human Genetics is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Genetic Counseling.
The application deadline for the Human Genetics program is December 15.

By David A. Keene, President
It's An Uphill Battle To Election Day
This year's presidential campaign won't officially begin until after the national party conventions and the Labor Day weekend, but it has, in fact, been raging for some time now and seems to be getting uglier every day. Given the stakes and the nature of the challenge facing President Obama as he seeks a second term, this is understandable … if sad.
I spent many years as a campaign manager and consultant and know just what his political team has to have been telling the president since the beginning of the year. They've looked at the numbers and know most Americans are far from impressed with the president's performance. He promised many things to many people back in 2008 and hasn't delivered. Instead he has set about imposing an agenda he rarely talked about during that campaign while failing to deal with the problems of real concern even to those who elected him.
As a result, Obama's advisors have to be telling him that he won't be re-elected on his record or by blaming today's problems on a previous president. Many of the independents who flocked to his optimistic, centrist-sounding campaign four years ago are increasingly convinced they made a mistake voting for him and probably won't do so again. The young voters whose expectations he appealed to then are without jobs now and even those who aren't prepared to vote against him are wondering if they should even bother to vote.
Obama will try to buy back the enthusiasm he's lost with government programs targeted at voters whose support he believes might be recoverable and his managers will use all the power, money and technology available to an incumbent president seeking re-election. But they know that the only way he will win this fall is by convincing persuadable voters that as badly as he's done, his opponent will be worse. That's why the president and his friends are attacking his presumptive Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, personally on every front, questioning his judgment, his honesty and even his patriotism. At the end of the day, Team Obama is hoping that voters will be willing to vote for the devil they know rather than the opponent he is trying to define for them.
The problem is that it does not appear to be working. By pursuing the openly negative campaign strategy that he and his managers see as his only path to re-election, President Obama may well destroy his one strength. Poll after poll has shown that many of his fellow citizens have cut the president a great deal of slack because they consider him a "likeable" enough fellow even though he may not be up to the challenges before him. "Likeable" fellows, however, don't spend the bulk of their time demonizing those with whom they disagree and don't approve "enemies lists" that include virtually everyone with the courage to support their opponents.
What the president and his advisors fail to grasp is that his policies threaten a way of life for many who will not be intimidated. If he actually believes that supporters of the Second Amendment are going to stay home or give him a pass when they know a second Obama term will include an assault on their gun rights, he is mistaken. As gun owners and NRA members, it is our job to make sure that everyone who shares our values appreciates what's at stake this fall. We all need to be able to see through the fog of obfuscation and falsehood Team Obama is throwing up to distract us from the real importance of this year's race.
If we succeed and they become even more desperate, the president and his team will continue the kind of campaign they have deemed essential to winning. If they do, Obama could wind up alienating not just those with whom he disagrees, but millions of Americans in the center who are fed up with his seemingly frantic and unfair assault on anyone who doesn't share his own enthusiasm for the persona he's developed over the years.
The president's friends in the media continue to claim he will be almost impossible to defeat; and an incumbent president often has the edge. But the evidence shows that with a fair election and a lot of work on our side, Obama will be in real trouble.
The closest analogy to this fall's election may be the 1980 election, when a failed Jimmy Carter faced a challenge from Ronald Reagan. The experts noted that Carter had a double digit lead over Reagan through the summer and into October. He ran a campaign like that being pursued today by President Obama, arguing that Reagan would only make things worse. When it was over, Carter's mean spiritedness and incompetence contrasted with Reagan's optimistic message and decency to turn that double digit deficit into a 49-state Reagan landslide.
Gov. Romney is in far better shape against President Obama this year than Reagan was against Carter back then.
If we do our job between now and November, Obama could face a similar fate. This is still an uphill battle, but the door is open. It's up to all of us to make sure it remains open.
If we do, we—and the Second Amendment—will be preserved for another generation.
