Changes and Bug fixes
- 1 Fixed bugs #1025908 and #1186955: Finalize fix for severe performance problems and crashes that arose from the combination of Gnome's GIO file functionality and python's multiprocessing. The solution was to remove GIO and replace it with regular python file processing. A nice side effect is that the program now runs faster than ever before.

December 3, 2012
Changes and Bug fixes
- 1 Preliminary and tentative fix for bug #1025908: Application freezes under Ubuntu 12.10. This fix should not be considered final, and needs further testing.
- 2 Fixed bug #1023586: Added RAW file support for Nikon NRW files. Rapid Photo Downloader uses the exiv2 program to read a photo's metadata. Although the NRW format is not officially supported by exiv2, it appears to work. If you have NRW files and Rapid Photo Downloader crashes while reading this files, please file a bug report.

- 4 Fixed missing dependencies on python-dbus and exiv2 in Debian/control file.
- 5 Added extra debugging output to help trace program execution progress.
June 24, 2012
Changes and Bug fixes
- 1 To increase performance, thumbnails are now no longer displayed until all devices have finished being scanned. To indicate the scan is occurring, the progress bar now pulses and it displays a running total of the number of photos and videos found. If scanning a very large number of files from a fast device, the progress bar may pause. If this happens, just wait for the scan to complete.
- 2 Fixed bug #1014203: Very poor program performance after download device changed. The program now displays the results of scanning files much quicker if the program's download device preferences are changed and a scan begins of a new device.
- 3 You can now specify via the command line whether you would like to automatically detect devices from which to download, or manually specify the path of the device. If specified, the option will overwrite the existing program preferences.
- 4 Added extra information to debugging output.
- 5 Fixed bug #1014219: File Modify process crashes if program exits during download.
- 6 Updated man page.

January 7, 2012
ExifTool is now a required dependency for Rapid Photo Downloader. ExifTool can be used to help download videos on Linux distributions that have not packaged hachoir-metadata, such as Fedora.
Exiftran is another new dependency. It is used to automatically rotate JPEG images.
Updated Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish translations.
Bug fixes
- 1 Fixed bug #704482: Delete photos option should be easily accessible. Added a toolbar at the top of the main program window, which gives immediate access to the most commonly changed configuration options: where files will be transferred from, whether they will be copied or moved, and where they will be transferred to. Please when the move option is chosen, all files in the download from a device are first copied before any are deleted. In other words, only once all source files have been successfully copied from a device to their destination are the source files deleted from that device.
- 2 Fixed bug #754531: Extract Exif.CanonFi.FileNumber metadata. Added FileNumber metadata renaming option, which is a Canon-specific Exif value in the form xxx-yyyy, where xxx is the folder number and yyyy is the image number. Uses ExifTool. Thanks go to Etieene Charlier for researching the fix and contributing code to get it implemented.
- 3 Fixed bug #695517: Added functionality to download MTS video files. There is currently no python based library to read metadata from MTS files, but ExifToolworks.
- 4 Fixed bug #859998: Download THM video thumbnail files. Some video files have THM video thumbnail files associated with them. Rapid Photo Downloader now downloads them and renames them to match the name of the video it is associated with.
- 5 Fixed bug #594533: Lossless JPEG rotation based on EXIF data after picture transfer. There is now an option to automatically rotate JPEG photos as they are downloaded. The program exiftran is used to do the rotation. The feature is turned on default.
- 6 Fixed bug #859012: Confirm if really want to download from /home, /media or /. It is possible for the program's preferences to be set to download from /home, /media or / (the root of the file system). This can result in the program scanning a very large number of files, possibly causing the system to become unresponsive. The program now queries the user before commencing this scan to confirm if this is really what they want to do.
- 7 Fixed bug #792228: Clear all thumbnails when refresh command issued.
- 8 Fixed bug #890949: Panasonic MOD format and duplicate filename issue.
- 9 Fixed a bug where the device progress bar would occasionally disappear when the download device was changed.
- 10 Fixed a bug where the file extensions the program downloads could not be displayed from the command line.
- 11 Fixed a bug where the program would crash when trying to convert a malformed thumbnail from one image mode to another.
October 1, 2011
New Features and Changes
- 1 Added feature in Preferences window to remove any paths that have previously been marked to always be scanned or ignored. These paths can be specified when automatic detection of Portable Storage Devices is enabled.
- 2 Added option to ignore paths from which to download. You can now specify paths never to scan for photos or videos. By default, any path ending in .Trash or .thumbnails is ignored. Advanced users can specify paths to never scan using python-style regular expressions.
- 3 You can now manually specify a path specifically in which to back up videos. This can be the same as or different than the path in which to back up photos.
- 4 Added Danish translation, by Torben Gundtofte-Bruun. Updated Brazilian, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish translations.
Bug fixes
- 1 Fixed bug #838722: Wrong file types may be backed up to external devices. Fixed a bug when auto detection of backup devices is enabled, files of the wrong type might be backed up. For instance, if the backup device is only meant to store videos, and the download contains photos, photos would incorrectly be backed up to the device in addition to videos.
- 2 Fixed bug #815727: Backup errors and warnings incorrectly displayed in log window. Fixed a bug that occurred when backing up errors are encountered, the log window did not display them correctly, although they were correctly outputted to the terminal window. This only occurred when more than one backup device was being used during a download.
- 3 Fixed bug #859242: Crash when displaying a preview of file without an extracted thumbnail.
- 4 Fixed bug #810559: Crash when generating thumbnail images
- 5 Fixed bug #789995: Crash when --reset-settings option is given on the command line.
- 6 Fixed bugs #795446 and #844714: small errors in translation template.
- 7 Fixed a bug in the Swedish translation.
May 19, 2011

Bug fixes
- 1 Fixed bug #774476: thumbnails occassionally not sorted by file modification time.
- 2 Fixed bug #784399: job code not prompted for after preference change.
- 3 Fixed bug #778085: crash when trying to scan inaccessible files on mounted camera.
- 4 Relaxed startup test to check whether pynotify is working. On some systems, pynotify reports it is not working even though it is.
April 28, 2011
This is the first stable release of the 0.4 series. Compared to version 0.3.6, it sports a clean new user interface and runs very fast.
Features added since release candidate 1:
- 1 Allow multiple selection of files to check or uncheck for downloading.
- 2 Automation feature to delete downloaded files from a device.
- 3 Updated Dutch, French, German, Polish, Russian, Serbian and Spanish translations
Bug fixes

- 2 translation fixes.
April 21, 2011
Features added since beta 1:
- 1 Backups have been implemented. If you are backing up to more than one device, Rapid Photo Downloader will back up to each device simultaneously instead of one after the other.
- 2 Added preferences option to disable thumbnail generation. When auto start is enabled, this can speed-up transfers when downloading from high-speed devices.
- 3 Thumbnails will be rendered during download when the Download button is clicked before all thumbnails have been rendered.
- 4 Access to the preferences window is now disabled while a download is occurring,as changing preferences when files are being download can cause problems.
- 5 Bug fix: don't crash when downloading some files after having previously downloaded some others in the same session.
- 6 Updated Brazilian, Dutch, German and Russian translations.
April 10, 2011
Features added since alpha 4:
- 1 Job Code functionality, mimicking that found in version 0.2.3.
- 2 Eject device button for each unmountable device in main window.
- 3 When not all files have been downloaded from a device, the number remaining is displayed in the device's progress bar
- 4 Overall download progress is displayed in progress bar at bottom of window
- 5 Time remaining and download speed are displayed in the status bar
- 6 System notification messages
Additionally, the following automation features have been added:
- 1Automatically start a download at program startup or when a device is inserted. When this is enabled, to optimize performance instead of thumbnails being generated before the files are downloaded, they are generated during the download.
- 2 Eject a device when all files have been downloaded from it.
- 3 Exit when all files have been downloaded.
April 5, 2011
This release contains a couple of small yet important fixes for users of upcoming Linux distributions:
- 1 It allows filename and subfolder preferences to be changed on Linux distributions like Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15.
- 2 It also contains a small packaging change allowing it to be installed in Ubuntu 11.04.
- 1 Error log window to display download warnings and errors.
- 2 Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence values.
- 1 Fixed bug #739021: unable to set subfolder and file rename preferences on alpha and beta Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 11.04 or Fedora 15.
- 2 Updated Brazilian, Dutch, French, German and Spanish translations.
- 1Sample file names and subfolders are now displayed in the preferences dialog window.
- 2The option to add a unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same name already exists
- 1Updated INSTALL file to match new package requirements.
- 2Bug fix: added program icon to main window.
- 3Bug fix: leave file preview mode when download devices are changed in the preferences.
- 4Bug fix: don't crash on startup when trying to display free space and photo or video download folders do not exist.
- 1System Notifications of download completion
- 2Job Codes
- 3Backups as you download
- 4Automation features, e.g. automatically start download at startup
- 5Error log window (currently you must check the command line for error output)
- 6Time remaining status messages
- 7Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence Numbers
- 8Add unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same name already exists
- 9Sample file names and subfolders are not displayed in the preferences window
- 1You can now change the size of the preview image by zooming in and out using a slider. The maximum size is double that of the previous fixed size, which was 160px. On computers with small screens such as netbooks, the maximum preview image size is the same as the previous fixed size. Please note that Rapid Photo Downloader only extracts thumbnails of photos; for performance reasons, it does not create them. This means for some file formats, the thumbnails will contain jpeg artifacts when scaled up (this is particularly true when using a version of pyexiv2 < 0.2.0). For users who require larger preview images, this will be of little consequence.
- 2When the "Strip compatible characters" feature is enabled in the Preferences (which is the default), any white space (e.g. spaces) beginning or ending a folder name will now be removed.
- 3Bug fix: camera serial numbers are now stripped of any spaces preceding or following the actual value, which is helpful for those cameras that do not properly generate their EXIF information.
- 4Fixed bug #685335: inaccurate description of python packages required for downloading videos.
- 5Added Croatian translation. Updated French, Norwegian Bokmal, Polish and Russian translations.
- 1Added support for mod, tod and 3gp video files.
- 2Hachoir-metadata is now used to extract selected metadata from video files. It has less bugs than kaa-metadata, and is better maintained. One benefit of this change is that more video file types can have their metadata extracted. Another is that the video creation date is now correctly read (the creation time read by kaa metadata was sometimes wrong by a few hours). Kaa-metadata is still used to extract some the codec, fourcc and frames per second (FPS) metadata.
- 3Fixed bug #640722: Added preliminary support for Samusung SRW files. Current versions of Exiv2 and pyexiv2 can read some but not all metadata from this new RAW format. If you try to use metadata that cannot be extracted, Rapid Photo Downloader will issue a warning.
- 4Fixed bug #550883: Generation of subfolders and filenames using the time a download was started
- 5Fixed bugs related to missing video download directory at program startup.
- 6Added command line option to output to the terminal information usesful for debugging.
- 7
- 1Added Norwegian Nynorsk translation. Updated Chinese, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Occitan (post 1500), Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian translations.
- 2Fixed crash on startup when checking for freespace, and the download folder does not exist.
- 1Added Chinese (simplified) translation. A big thanks goes out to the Ubuntu Chinese translation team. Partial translations of Bulgarian, Japanese, Occitan (post 1500), Persian, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Turkish have been added. In the past only translations that were largely finished were added, but hopefully adding incomplete translations will speed up their completion. Updated Finnish, French, Hungarian, Russian, Serbian and Spanish translations.
- 2The main window now works more effectively on tiny screens, such as those found on netbooks. If the screen height is less than or equal to 650 pixels, elements in the preview pane are removed, and the spacing is tightened.
- 3The amount of free space available on the filesystem where photos are to be downloaded is now displayed in the status bar. (Note this is only the case on moderately up-to-date Linux distributions that use GVFS, such as Ubuntu 8.10 or higher).
- 1 The major new feature of this release is the generation of previews before a download takes place. You can now select which photos and videos you wish to download.
- 2 You can now assign different Job Codes to photos and videos in the same download. Simply select photos and videos, and from the main window choose a Job Code for them. You can select a new Job Code,or enter a new one (press Enter to apply it).
- 3 The errors and warnings reported have been completely overhauled, and are now more concise.
- 1Updated Swedish translation.
- 2 Fixed bug #590725: don't crash if the theme does not associate an icon with the detected device.
- 3 Bug fix: update example filenames and folders when Job codes are manually modified in the preferences window.
- 1 Bug fix: in systems where exiv2 is not installed, don't crash on startup.
- 2Added Ukrainian translation by Sergiy Gavrylov.
- 1 Bug fix: display sample photo and video names in preferences dialog using first photo and video found on download device, where possible. This used to work but was inadvertently disabled in a recent release.
- 2 Bug fix: prompt for Job code when only video names or video subfolder names use a job code.
- 3 Bug fix: filter out Null bytes from Exif string values. These can occur when the Exif data is corrupted.
- 4 Updated Spanish, Russian and Finnish translations.
- 1 New feature: video download
- 2 New feature: thumbnails for Nikon RAW files, and other manufacturers whose RAW files include multiple thumbnails (requires pyexiv2 >= 0.2.0)
- 1 Fixed bug #483222: sometimes images could not be downloaded to NTFS partitions. This fix was a welcome side effect of using GIO to copy images, instead of relying on the python standard libary.
- 2 Error message headings in the Error Log are now displayed in a red font.
- 3 Program settings and preferences can be reset using a new command line option.
- 4 Program preferences are now more thoroughly checked for validity when the program starts.
- 5 Further work was done to fix bug #505492, to handle cases where the system notification system is not working properly.
- 1 Fixed bug #509348: When both the backup and "Delete images from image device upon download completion" options are selected, the program will only delete an image from the image device if it was both downloaded to the download folder and backed up. Previously it did not check to ensure it was backed up correctly too.
- 2 Fixed bug #505492: The program previously failed to start in environments where the notification system has problems.
- 3 Fixed bug #508304: The user is now prompted to confirm if they really want to remove all of their Job Codes after clicking on "Remove All" in the preferences dialog window.
- 4 Fixed bug #510484: Previously, the program could crash when attempting to download to a read-only folder.
- 5 Fixed bug #510516: The program now checks to see if the download folder exists and is writeable. If automatic detection of image devices is not enabled, it checks to see if the image location path exists.
- 6 Updated Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish and Swedish translations.
- 1New feature: photographers using RAW + JPEG mode now have the option to synchronize sequence numbers for the matching pair of images. This option is useful if you use the RAW + JPEG feature on your camera and you use sequence numbers or letters in your image renaming. Enabling this option will cause the program to detect matching pairs of RAW and JPEG images, and when they are detected, the same sequence numbers and letters will be applied to both image names. Furthermore, sequences will be updated as if the images were one. See the documentation for more details.
- 2 Increased maximum sequence number length to seven digits by user request.
- 3 Fixed bug #503704: changes in values for downloads today and stored number not updated when changed via program preferences while a download is ready to begin.
- 4 Added Serbian translation by Milos Popovic. Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slovak and Spanish translations.
- 1 Added auto delete feature. When enabled, upon the completion of a download, images that were successfully downloaded will be deleted from the image device they were downloaded from. Images that were not downloaded successfully will not be deleted.
- 2 Added keyboard accelerators for Preferences and Help.
- 3 Added Dutch translation by Alian J. Baudrez. Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Slovak and Spanish translations.
- 1 Added icons to notification messages.
- 2 Updated Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Swedish translations.
- 3 Bug fix: properly handle devices being unmounted, fixing a bug introduced in Version 0.0.9 beta 2.
- 4 Bug fix: When program preferences are changed, image and backup devices are now refreshed only when the preferences dialog window is closed.
- 5 Bug fix: Minutes component of image and folder renaming had the same code as months.
- 1 Fixed bug #484432: error in adding job codes via the preferences dialog.
- 2 Fixed bug #486886: Job code prompt can appear multiple times.
- 3 Updated Hungarian and French translations.
- 1 Added a "Job codes" option. See the documentation for more details.
- 2 Added Czech translation by Tomas Novak.
- 3 French translation by Julien Valroff, Michel Ange, and Cenwen.
- 4 Hungarian translation by Balazs Oveges and Andras Lorincz.
- 5 Slovak translation by Tomas Novak.
- 6 Swedish translation by Ulf Urden and Michal Predotka.
- 7 Added additional hour, minute and second options in image renaming and subfolder creation. Thanks to Art Zemon for the patch.
- 8 Fixed bug #387002: added dependency in Ubuntu packages for librsvg2-common. Thanks go to user hasp for this fix.
- 9 Fixed bug #478620: problem with corrupted image files. Thanks go to user Katrin Krieger for tracking this one down.
- 10 Fixed bug #479424: some camera model names do not have numbers, but it still makes sense to return a shortened name. Thanks go to user Wesley Harp for highlighting this problem.
- 11 Fixed bug #482831: program no longer crashes when auto-download is off, and a device is inserted before another download has completed.
- 1Russian translation updated by Sergei Sedov.
- 2Bug fix #383028: program would crash when using an automatically configured backup device and gvfs.
- 1Italian translation by Marco Solari and Luca Reverberi.
- 2German translation by Martin Egger and Daniel Paessler.
- 3Russian translation by Sergei Sedov.
- 4Finnish translation by Mikko Ruohola.
- 5A Help button has been added to Preferences dialog window. Clicking it takes you to the documentation found online at the program's website. This documentation is now complete.
- 6The Preferences Dialog window is now navigated using a list control, as it was in early versions of the program. This change was necesseary because with some translations, the dialog window was becoming too wide with the normal tab layout. Usability of the Preferences Dialog is improved: it will now resize itself based on its content.
- 1Spanish translation by Jose Luis Navarro and Abel O'Rian.
- 2Bug fixes relating to preferences changes: changes to preferences are applied to downloads which have not yet started, and preference errors are now handled more effectively.
- 1Added command line options for controlling verbosity, displaying which image file types are recognized, and printing the program version.
- 2Polish translation by Michal Predotka. Coming soon: French, German and Spanish translations.
- 3Minor fixes to logic that checks whether the Download button should be disabled or not. This should now be more reliable.
- 4The previous beta would sometimes crash when thumbnails could not be extracted from images. This has been fixed.
- 1Direct download from some cameras. This version adds experimental support for downloading directly from cameras—it may not work with your camera. This is made possible through the use of the new gvfs library, provided by GIO, that exists in recent versions of Linux (a recent version of Linux is a must). The camera must also be supported by libgphoto2 in combination with gvfs. How to test this? If you cannot browse the camera's contents in a file manager (e.g. Nautilus), downloading directly from the camrea will not work until gvfs support is improved. If your camera does not work, trying changing the transfer mode in the camera from Normal to PTP—it is much more likely to work. Cameras not supported in normal mode currently include the Canon 300D and 20D.
- 2The program now starts more quickly and does not become unresponsive when scanning devices with a large number of images. This will hardly be noticeable by users that download from memory cards, but those who download from hard drives with hundreds of GBs of files will notice a big difference.
- 3The "image number" component of image renaming is more robust. Now, only the series of digits at the end of a filename are recognized as the image number (obviously the file's extension is not included as being part of the filename in this case). This allows takes in account files from cameras like the Canon 1D series, which can have filenames like VD1D7574.CR2.
- 1Added Stored and Downloads today sequence numbers
- 2The estimate of time remaining to download images is now much more accurate.
- 3Download speed in MB/s is now displayed in the status bar.
- 4Sequence number/letter selection in preferences is improved.
- 5Only allow one instance of the program to be run, and raise the existing window if it is run again. This is very useful when Rapid Photo Downloader is set to run automatically upon insertion of a memory card.
- 6The "exit at end of successful download" automation feature is added.
- 7When an image's download is skipped, the thumbnail is now lightened.
- 8A missing image icon is displayed if the thumbnail cannot be displayed for some reason. (See bug #369640 for why thumbnail images from certain RAW files are not displayed).
- 9Resize main window when an image device is inserted—it now expands to show each device that is inserted.
- 10A download cannot proceed if there is an error in the image rename or download subfolder preferences. Instead, a download error is indicated.
- 11Version 0.1.1 of pyexiv2 can now be used (an older version of the library code that is used to get information on the images, found in distributions like Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron).

Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user interface. It is about 50 times faster in tasks like scanning photos and videos before the download. It also performs the actual downloads quicker. It will use multiple CPU cores if they are available.
Rapid Photo Downloader now requires version 0.3.0 or newer of pyexiv2. It also requries Python Imaging (PIL) to run. It will only run on recent Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 10.04 or newer. It has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04, as well as Fedora 14. (There is currently an unusual bug adjusting some preferences when running Ubuntu 11.04. See bug #739021).
This is an alpha release because it is missing features that are present in version 0.3.5. Missing features include:
These missing features will be added in subsequent alpha and beta releases.
Kaa-metadata is no longer required to download videos. However, if you want to use Frames Per Second or Codec metadata information in subfolder or video file names, you must ensure it is installed. This is no longer checked at program startup.
Thanks go to Robert Park for refreshing the translations code.
March 23, 2011
The primrary purpose of this release is update translations and fix bug #714039, where under certain circumstances the program could crash while downloading files.
Added Romanian translation. Updated Brazilian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, German, Italian, Polish and Russian translations.

Now that you can select photos and videos to download, the "Report an error" option in case of filename conflicts has been removed. If you try to download a photo or video that already exists, an error will be reported. If you backup a photo or video that already exists in the backup location, a warning will be reported (regardless of whether overwriting or skipping of backups with conflicting filenames is chosen).
Likewise, the option of whether to report an error or warning in case of missing backup devices has been removed. If you have chosen to backup your photos and videos, and a backup device or location is not found, the files will be downloaded with warnings.
For each device in the main window, the progress bar is now updated much more smoothly than before. This is useful when downloading and backing up large files such as videos. (Note this is only the case on moderately up-to-date Linux distributions that use GVFS, such as Ubuntu 8.10 or higher).
The minimum version of python-gtk2 (pygtk) required to run the program is now 2.12. This will affect only outdated Linux distributions.

Video download
Videos can now be downloaded in much the same way photos can.
The package kaa metadata is required to download videos. ffmpegthumbnailer is used to display thumbnail images of certain types of videos as the download occurs.kaa metadata and ffmpegthumbnailer are optional. The program will run without them (it just won't be able to download videos). You can easily install them from your distribution's package repositories.
If a THM file with the same name as the video is present, it will be used to generate a thumbnail for the video. If not, if ffmpegthumbnailer is installed, Rapid Photo Downloader will use it to attempt to extract a thumbnail from the video. THM files are not downloaded.
For now, sequence values are shared between the downloads of videos and photos. There may be an option to have two sets of sequence numbers in a future release.
Due to the number of changes in the code, it is possible that regressions in the photo downloading code may have been introduced.
Other changes and fixes
This is the first release to use version 0.2.x of the pyexiv2 library. The most immediate benefit of this change is that thumbnail images from Nikon and other brand cameras can be displayed. This fixes bugs #369640 and #570378.
Please note pyexiv2 0.2.x requires exiv2 0.1.9 or above.
Rapid Photo Downloader will still work with pyexiv2 0.1.x. However it will not be able to display the thumbnails of some brands of camera.
If Rapid Photo Downloader detects version 0.18.1 or higher of the exiv2 library, it will download Panasonic's RW2 files. If it detects version 0.18.0 or higher of the exiv2 library, it will download Mamiya's MEF files. For Rapid Photo Downloader to be able to detect which version of the exiv2 library your system has, it must either be running pyexiv2 >= 0.2.0, or have exiv2 installed.

Fixes and updates
When detection of portable storage devices is selected, the program will prompt you whether or not to download from each device it automatically detects.

Diagnostic output
Please note that while every effort has been made to test this new release, significant changes have been made to the program's code, possibly causing regressions or new bugs. If you run the program from the command line, as a beta this version outputs additional diagnostic output which can often be very useful when reporting bugs. Please report any bugs you might encounter.
May 1, 2009
New features
The stored sequence number is remembered each time the program is run. Downloads today tracks how many downloads are made on a given day. The time a day "starts" is set via a new preference value, day start. This is useful if you often photograph something late at night (e.g. concerts) and want a new day to "start" at 3am, for instance.
Known bugs
Please note that there is an known bug which can cause the program to become unresponsive when it is scanning a large hard drive for many images. This can occur on startup, inserting a new device, or changing the preferences. See bug #368098.

Almodovar's "La Mala Educacion" to Open 57th Festival de Cannes
by Brian Brooks
Oscar-winning Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's "La Mala Educacion" (Bad Education) will open the 57th Festival de Cannes on Wednesday, May 12th the festival announced early Friday. Written and directed by Almodovar, the film stars Gael Garcia Bernal ("Y Tu Mama Tambien"), Fele Martinez ("Dos tipos duros"), and Javier Camara, who starred in Almodovar's previous project "Hable con ella" (Talk to Her). According to the official Cannes announcement, the film "tells the story of two young boys who discover love, film and fear in the 1960s in a religious school run by Father Manolo. The three characters meet again at the end of the 1970s and during the 1980s."
"Kill Bill: Vol 2" by Quentin Tarantino -- who will head the jury this year -- had been speculated as the opener of the festival this year. The news that "La Mala Educacion" would open, however, seemed to take some by surprise. "If it's true, then we're thrilled," Sony Pictures Classics co-president Michael Barker told indieWIRE after a call for comment. Sony Classics will distribute the film in North America.
"The joy that fills me upon learning that my latest film is to open the next Festival de Cannes is more that of an adolescent than an adult," Almodovar said in a statement Friday from Madrid. "When I was told, I once again became that young man who made Super 8 films and for whom the Festival de Cannes has always represented the greatest film fest imaginable." He went on to praise France for being his "major interlocutor." In 1999, Almodovar received the best director prize in Cannes for his film "Todo Sobre Mi Madre" (All About My Mother) and later won the Academy Award for best director.
In other Cannes line-up news, it is widely expected that Walter Salles' "The Motorcycle Diaries," which also stars Bernal, will screen at Cannes. The film had its world debut last month at the Sundance Film Festival. The Festival de Cannes will continue through Sunday, May 23rd.

|Moringa: a "miracle tree" for a sustainable future in Haiti
A workshop on the implementation of Haiti's national program for the promotion of Moringa Oleifer was held at the headquarters of the Ministry of Health (MSPP – Ministere de la Santé Publique et de la Population), in Port-au-Prince, with an opening speech by the First Lady Sophia Martelly and organized by COLFAM (Commission Nationale de Lutte contre la Faim et la Malnutrition).
This tropical plant of Indian origin is commonly referred to as the "Miracle Tree". In fact, it is naturally very fast-growing and every part, including the seeds and roots, can be consumed and has beneficial properties for the human being. Its leaves, that can be eaten fresh, cooked, or stored as dried powder for many months, are rich in beta carotene, iron, protein and potassium: a gram of Moringa leaves contains 7 times the amount of vitamin C of orange juice, 4 times more beta-carotene than carrots, 4 times more calcium than milk, 3 times more potassium than bananas and 3 times the iron found in spinach, and more proteins than an egg.
The "Miracle Tree" not only provides leaves that help combat malnutrition, especially among children and nursing mothers, but it can also help fertilize the soil, restore degraded farmlands, and increase crop yield. Furthermore, Moringa is some of the best feed for livestock; it increases the weight gain of cattle and helps them to produce as much as 50% more milk.
Because of the Moringa leaves' nutritional benefits, individual vendors in Haiti also sell them successfully in local markets, providing reliable cash income.
The idea of the workshop began with a meeting in January among Dr. Michel Chancy, Haitian Minister for Animal Production, and professor Alberto Schiraldi and his staff at the ICANS center, University of Milan, Prof. Alberto Battezzati and Prof. Simona Bertoli, who were visiting as part of their collaboration with AVSI on the food security component of the AQUAPLUS project now being implemented by a successful partnership among several actors: Rotary International Distretto 2040 and Rotary Club Milano per Milano Foundation as leaders, EXPO 2015, the University of Milan, Unicredit Foundation, MLFM and AVSI.
During this meeting, Dr. Chancy proposed the creation of a national workshop to bring together key civil society actors engaged in the cultivation and use of Moringa and to edit a reference document promoting the introduction of this plant in Haiti, based on its benefits at the economic, environmental and nutritional levels.
AVSI participated in the preliminary stage of the workshop through weekly meetings with the various actors involved in writing the final document.
The workshop was attended by several institutional key players such as Dr. Florence Guillaume, Minister for Public Health and Population, Dr. Mimose Félix, Minister for the Promotion of the Peasantry, Dr. Rose Anne Auguste, Minister for Human Rights and the Fight against Extreme Poverty, and Dr. Chancy, the main promoter of the initiative.
The workshop was an occasion for AVSI to share its experience with Moringa Oleifera, with Mr. Federico Borrelli presenting on economic and environmental aspects, and Dr. Federica Pozzi, on the fight against malnutrition.
The audience included many members from the civil society, agronomists, farmers' organizations, doctors, and representatives of other international organizations working in Haiti.

from naval air stations at all times.There is another side of sea duty for Navymen that provides an interesting duty assignment, that with special research projects such as the widely known Operation Deep Freeze in Antarctica, the research in the Arctic regions, and such scientific projects as studies of the ocean depths being carried out in various parts of the world.Whether the Navyman serves on board the nuclear-powered attack aircraft carrier Enterprise or a fleet oil tanker, he is doing an important job. The most powerful warship afloat becomes a mere hulk without fuel, ammunition and food for its crew. The Navymen who supply the warships with these vital supplies are an essential part of the great Navy team.In a great many cases, a Navyman's tour of shore duty will include attendance at a Navy technical school. As he demonstrates his capability in his rating through shipboard service, thus proving that he. is ready for greater responsibilities, he may be sent to a high level school in his rating field. The Navymen selected for training in the nuclear propulsion field, or the Polaris missile field, are those who prove themselves through outstanding duty performance.

Green Jelly -- Austin, TX -- October 2nd, 2013
This was a definite last minute show for me; I didn't find out about it until maybe...two days before it happened. Normally, last minute shows are a no-go for me since they get rather pricey, but since the tickets were only $8, I decided to go anyway.
I arrived at the venue around twenty minutes before the doors opened and managed to strike up a conversation with the manager about getting a gig booked with my band for a first show. An uneventful few minutes later, and I was watching the first band, a proggy instrumental band. I thought they were good, but honestly, once you hear one instrumental band that has an obvious Tool/Dream Theater influence, you've heard a lot of them. The next few bands ranged from alright to really good at times, however one of them going by the name of Shitty Advice performed on a very high note, and definitely deserved a better reaction than a few golf claps and two drunk guys slamming for their show. After that, I went outside to smoke a cigarette, but wound up meeting Green Jelly and shooting the shit with them while they put their puppets to the side for later. A little bit of time passed between that and the time Octopus Rex went on; I went inside to catch their show for a bit and highly enjoyed their cover of "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" and the dancers onstage, but after that, I went back outside to talk to a guy I met at Black Flag a few months ago and missed the rest of their set...
And speaking of Black Flag, much like the last time I hit up Infest, the coheadlining band (Monkeysoop) consisted of the headliners with a different lead singer, however unlike Good For You, Monkeysoop managed to be entertaining through the entire show. They gave it their all at all times, especially during their version of Happy Happy Joy Joy, and toward the end of their set, they invited audience members to sing a song with them, myself included.
Pure Hate
Chicken Damnit
Little Pink Dots
Finally, Green Jelly began to set up their stuff before they began with a hammy, yet hilarious introduction lasting some five minutes while they hauled out a cooler and two huge pizzas to give free Lone Star beers and pepperoni/cheese pizza slices to people in the audience who were fast enough or barked like seals hard enough for their slice. After that, yet before starting the show, Bill went on to invite ten audience members to be the puppets for the night. Yours truly got the Tom Morello role along with a two minute spotlight while Bill kept shouting that I had ruined RATM, Audioslave, and Soundgarden while cracking "fat Tom Morello" jokes, such as "Rage Against the Snack Machine", "Fuck You, I Won't Go On a Diet", and asking if I had eaten the rest of the band while slapping my chest. I gotta admit, I was probably laughing harder than anyone else during those two minutes.
Anyway, after that, the rest of the show went on rather swimmingly from what I could tell. At various points in time, we were made to slam onstage, get involved in the pit down in the audience, invite more audience members onstage (a good 3/4ths of the crowd was onstage at one point) and sit onstage while Bill narrated stories for us all to hear. The band let the air out of themselves with their version of the Three Little Pigs before getting offstage and signing posters, chatting to fans, and just having a really chill time with everyone that stuck around, and when I revealed to them that I was planning on writing this review, a couple of them actually asked me to write down the name of the website so they could check it out later (so if by any chance they're reading this, great show guys!).
I can't wait to see Green Jelly again. That was just an amazing show...

Two teens are charged with class four felonies in connection with the Woodmen Valley Fire.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says the teenage boys, ages 14 and 15, were both issued a summons Thursday, on the felony charge of 4th Degree Arson.
Authorities believe the teens started a campfire that got out of control. The fire burned 30-45 acres in the Woodmen Valley area.
Many neighbors broke out garden hoses, rakes, and shovels to keep the fires away from their homes. People like Jeff Kouri.
"It was pretty hectic, because we were getting ready to leave for high school graduation. It started and we had go out with hoses before it got to our property," Kouri said.
If convicted, the teens could face up to two years detention, community service, and fines. Those fines could add up to thousands of dollars, including the cost of fighting the fire.

There are more than 2,500 unsolved homicides and sex crimes in Phoenix dating to the 1950s. Phoenix police investigators have shared some of those cases with The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com.
Victim: Michael Cluck.
Location: 5819 W. Van Buren St.
Time/date: 2:25 a.m. Dec. 17, 1995.
Narrative: Cluck, 56, was working as a clerk at a Phoenix gas station the night he was shot and killed during a "beer run," in which a thief or thieves grab beer and dash out of the store without paying.
Cluck was shot when he confronted two men as they left the store near Van Buren Street and 59th Avenue, a detective said at the time. The men drove away in a faded yellow pickup. Cluck was transported to a Phoenix hospital, where he died.
A detective at the time said it was not known what was stolen from the store, although later examination of a report of the incident indicates that Cluck called 911 himself to report that he had been shot.

About this cartoon, Bob says ...
Many hundreds of years ago when Senator Joe had blond hair and I had hair, period, during one election campaign I drew him as a weather vane blowing in the political winds.
In fact, that weather vane morphed into the weather vane beanie I eventually put on John Rowland's head for doing the same thing Joe does.
I thought about that weather vane cartoon when I read David Lightman's story about Senator Joe's flip-flops on various issues.
Spin One, you could say it illustrates a person's ability to change one's mind in light of new information.
Spin Two, it shows that Joe's views reflect the views of whomever he is massaging at the moment. Looks like he was cozying up to a popular President Bush at the time, a time so long, long ago.
That's the problem with situational beliefs. They reveal a mind sharply tuned to self-interested popularity, for sure, but a mind more focused on opportunism than on what's best for American citizens.
As a congressman or senator, certainly you can be coy until the deal goes down. You can be demure, hesitant, questioning, even stalling, but if you make your decision based on whether or not you will be re-elected or if it will make you more palatable as a candidate for the presidency, then you're a fraud and deserve to be voted out on your keister.
Ideally, a thoughtful person in Congress who is representing a state would take the time to study an issue closely and vote from his or her core beliefs.
I'm not sure Senator Joe has core beliefs anymore, having lived in Washington for so many years. His main core belief seems to be to say and believe anything that fits the moment that will get him re-elected.

For that era, Based on what I know now, it would be road bikes not MTBs. MTB tech was still in its infancy.
I would select the best performing component group, Shimano Dura-Ace 74xx. It left everything else for dead, period. Next would be my sentimental favorite, best friction group: Suntour Superbe Pro: gorgeous precision. Although I love Campy C-Record's beauty, it just didn't measure up in any performance point and had annoying technical issues.
It would go on a Columbus SL tubed frameset, preferably Italian production, Ciocc, Colnago, Basso, Billato, Tomassini etc; next Merckx production, then Canadian Marinoni. Finally, one of the Schwinn Columbus SL production framesets as third.
I really like how SL rides. And IMO, SLX would take away that magical feel SL possesses for my non-racing pursuits.
Alternatively, Tange Prestige tubed frameset is my second choice. Rivals Reynolds 753 in strength and lightness. I don't know what production offering used it in 1988 as it was rather new.

Montessori Hale O Keiki (MHOK) serves Pre-K to 8 graders. Our goal is to empower the student to develop to his or her highest potential, to become a self-motivated learner, and to be a creative and critical thinker. All of these skills have been identified as necessary to become a productive citizen of the 21st century.
Primary Grades PR-K & Kindergarten The primary classroom (ages 3-6) objective is to cultivate the child's own natural desire to learn. This is accomplished two ways. First, by allowing each child to experience the excitement of learning by his or her own choice rather than by being forced; and second, by helping the child perfect his or her natural tools for learning, so that the child's abilities will be maximized for future learning situations. The Montessori materials have this dual, long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving specific information to the child. Teachers present new lessons in math, language, science, history, and geography with concrete materials. PE, Music and Art are integrated into the core curriculum. Students truly experience the "joy of learning" in the primary classroom.
Lower Elementary Grades 1-3 This classroom is an organized purposeful setting where students (ages 6-9) are encouraged to ask questions and then they are given the skills to find the answers. The journey to finding the answer is joyful and learning becomes exciting while creating a sense of accomplishment. Students are permitted to move from one academic area to another and work individually or in small groups. Teachers present new lessons in math, language, science, history, and geography with concrete materials. They work at their own pace and they learn accountability, independence and social graces. PE, Music and Art are integrated into the curriculum. The teacher uses the marine science curriculum to bring the ocean to the classroom and the classroom to the ocean.
Upper School Grades 4-6 Students at this level are becoming independent thinkers and they are ready to tackle more varied and rigorous academic work. Teachers present new lessons in math, language, science, history, and geography with concrete materials and then move to abstract concepts when students are ready. Students learn through hands-on experiments, project based work and creative presentations. PE, Music and Art are integrated into the core curriculum so they do not learn anything in isolation. Monthly snorkeling trips with the school's naturalist permit the students to conduct scientific research in the real world.
Middle School Grades 7-8 The middle school program reflects an integration of the Montessori philosophy, the newest research on the developmental needs of early adolescents, the state of the art in current learning theory, the predictions of the skills needed for a productive life in the 21st century and the Hawaii requirements of essential elements. The curriculum and instruction is designed as a two year program in which students earn 16 units of credits. The language, speech, physical education, outdoor education, service learning, music and fine arts are courses of continuous progress. The science, social studies, geography, health and math are studied by topics or concepts. Students spend time both in the classroom and in "real-world" environments with our marine science focus. Partnerships with local organizations allow our students to become dive certified and do monthly dives and field work that studies current and on-going scientific topics of interest.
Marine & Environmental Stewardship Program –All Grades Pre K- 8 In 2009, Montessori Hale O Keiki became the state of Hawaii's only Marine Science School of the Future and is incorporating Marine Science into all classrooms. Supported by the coveted "Schools of the Future" grant from Hawaii Community Foundation and the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools, our Marine program is a public/private partnership that reflects a broad community investment in progressive education. The program, now it its 3rd year, is transformative by instilling both the values of cultural and environmental stewardship, with hands-on, student-centered research and critical skill development needed for success in 21st Century careers. Marine and environmental curriculum is integrated into all levels (Pre K-8).
MHOK is Triple Accredited: WASC, HAIS, AMS

Being able to talk to ponies isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Save Our Stables!
Just when Pia stops feeling like the new girl at Laurel Farms, disaster strikes. The stables are about to be torn down, leaving all the ponies homeless! If that wasn't enough to stress a girl out, Pia also has to figure out how to save her frenemy's horse, Bambi, from being sold. (She and Pia's horse, Drummer, are kind of an item. Horsey love--who knew?)
Pia's pony whispering ability isn't much help this time. They need a plan-and fast! Can Pia and her friends find a way to save the stables and Bambi...before it's too late?

I am considering upgrading my old Ultegra/DA 9 speed to 10 speed. Looking at component prices, SRAM Rival is about at my price point, but I have a few questions that I'm uncertain about after checking SRAM's specs and Sheldon's site. I plan to replace the crankset (50-34), bottom bracket, chain, cassette (11-23), shifters, and probably rear derailleur.
1. Can I use my existing DuraAce front/rear derailleurs with the Rival shifters? (SRAM says use their rear)
2. The compact Rival crankset shows a chainline of 44.5 mm vs. the 43.5 mm of my Ultegra double. Will this cause any problems with shifting or the front derailleur?
3. The GXP external bearing bottom bracket diameter matches for the English thread at 68 mm, but that is the only spec SRAM shows. Is there a concern with BB length or is this covered in the chainline question?
I've never used any SRAM equipment other than chains. They seem to get good marks around here, but are there concerns I haven't considered?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz digs in her heels
By Gary Stein
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is having a bit of a hissy fit, and you can't blame her one bit.
Here is what the Democratic Congressman from Weston, who is also on the House Appropriations Committee, told The Washington Post this week:
"I''ve never seen a bigger boondoggle in my life. It's like they're playing with Monopoly money."
Is she talking about a bailout of General Motors? Perhaps she saw politicians spending tax money on a shopping spree? Nope. Wasserman Schultz is talking about the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, a stunning, 580,000-square foot structure that opened this week and is expected to be visited by thousands of people daily.
There are just a couple of problems. Groundbreaking was in 2000, and it was supposed to take four years, in time for the presidential inauguration - in 2005. You do the math.
A bigger problem: It was supposed to cost $71 million. When the ribbon was cut, the tab was $621 million. If you have a calculator, you can again do the math.
According to the Post, the finished project - a subterranean edifice, no less - features fountains, a spiral staircase, six skylights, and statues of 24 people, including former members of Congress and Hawaiian King Kamehameha (don't ask).
There were also delays from contractors and architects, mistakes, unexpected problems, and incredible cost overruns.
In a time of foreclosures, melting 401(k)plans, and overall sky-is-falling angst about the economy, you can be sure there will be people not overjoyed by this whole project. Although it does have 26 restrooms, with low-flow toilets.
Your tax dollars at work. Go get 'em, Debbie.

May 6, 2016
A Sampson County man is accused of biting another man's ear off Sunday night.
David Turner is in the Carteret County jail on a $25,000 bond. He's charged with felony maiming of the ear. He told dispatchers that he bit off his friend's ear "Mike Tyson style".
The victim. Laurie Fulcher, will have to undergo reconstructive ear surgery.
Deputies say the 25-year-old Turner and Fulcher were working together on a shrimp boat that was docked at Radio Island.
The 63-year-old victim told deputies he allowed Turner to stay on the boat, and the two men got into an argument. Deputies say Turner ended up biting off the man's lower portion of his ear.
On the 911 tape, Turner can be heard admitting to authorities that he bit his roommate's ear off, but that he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, is bi-polar and hasn't had his medicine in six months.
911 Call
Turner: Me and my roommate got into a fight and I got PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder
911: Uh huh...
Turner: And I got bipolar disorder.
911: Uh huh.
Turner: And I ain't been on my medication for six months.
911: Right.
Turner: And me and my roommate got into and I (unintelligible).
911: You bit his ear off?
Turner: Yeah, Mike Tyson style.
911: Mike Tyson style.

Real Housewives of NJ: Do Teresa, Melissa and Kathy Need to Grow Up for Their Kids' Sake?Michelle Lamar
The new season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey could be the most drama-filled yet! New Housewives Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile are Teresa Giudice's family but it's a family full of D-R-A-M-A.
Teresa and Melissa are at war and it's not a good example for their kids.
Melissa Gorga is married to Teresa's brother. Kathy Wakile, the other new face on Season 3 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but is a first cousin to Teresa Giudice.
The New Jersey Housewives are at war and the drama is straight out of 5th grade—it's very petty! Seriously, these ladies should be ashamed that they act the way they do—not to mention that it is all on national TV!
I feel like the only "grown-up" out of the Housewives is Caroline Manzo and she needs to put Teresa, Melissa and Kathy in TIME OUT. These ladies are setting such a bad example for their kids! What do you think of Teresa's family feud?

Wolves, wildlife as American as motherhood and apple pie
To The Editor:
I would like to thank Nicholas Smith for his letter castigating the presence of wolves in Oregon as un-American. It gives me the opportunity to correct his error about the acceptance of wolves in the USA.
Contrary to Mr. Smith's belief, wolves are popular with the majority of Americans, according to national polls and the comments submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and state wildlife agencies on wolf policies.
At home in Oregon, a poll in 1999 (as mentioned on Page 6 of the Oregon Wolf Plan) found 70 percent favoring wolves; 90 percent of the comments for the 2010 Wolf Plan Update favored increased protection for wolves.
More recently, a University of New Hampshire survey from the fall of 2012 found that 68 percent of Baker County residents, 69 percent of Union County residents and 59 percent of Wallowa County residents tolerate wolves.
This fall, a survey of Northwest residents found that at least two-thirds support restoring wolves to suitable habitat — Oregon (66 percent), Washington (71 percent) and California (69 percent) — and large majorities support keeping wolves on the Endangered Species List — Oregon (63 percent), Washington (72 percent), California 80 percent).
All these sources are available publicly online.
Wolves and wildlife, it turns out, are as American as motherhood and apple pie.
Wally Sykes

At 10.15am on Sunday, 25th September I began a strollI at St Helens rugby ground in Swansea. The following Sunday, 2nd October at 12.45pm, I finished the stroll - at the new St Helens rugby ground in Merseyside. The walk from St Helens to St Helens was done to raise money for the Steve Prescott Foundation.
The stroll was just over 200 miles and I did it in eight days. Along the way I nearly got run over several times (notably by a pink Cadillac), suffered blisters and lacerations to the feet that a chiropodist suggested would need hospital treatment and walked an average of over 25 miles per day on my own, without any iPod or anything. There were times I felt so lonely and was in so much pain that I felt like giving up.
What kept me going was the fear of letting people down; of not being able to get the money for this remarkable charity in the name of Steve Prescott - a truly extraordinary man. In other words, the sponsorship being given on here kept me going.
On the last leg, from Warrington to St Helens, I was joined by a number of other amazing people, as well as Steve. It was a relief to finally walk with people and a number got sponsored for doing that last leg. The feeling of achievement for what I had done was immense and it was shared with a feeling of relief that it was finally all over. Such feelings would not have existed if it wasn't for the sponsorship, without which, all my endeavours would have been for nothing.
Thanks for your support - every single donation is appreciated.

Could I be pregnant? I've been having symptoms TTC for passed year!!
I have been having some symptoms and of course once you look it up online it tells you a general idea of what it could be.. Since I've been googling everything, it has been telling me yes.. Just want my symptoms answered.. I am do for AF tomorrow, but i cant wait any longer.. the symptoms I am having: pains in my stomach when I stand too fast, roll over in bed, sneeze like i pulled a muscle, my cervix is high and hard, milky white CM, this AM my vaginal walls were swollen, i could hardly fit my finger in there, back pains, headaches, my boobs are very heavy and tender and visibly larger (hanging out of my bra, as if they grew), the veins in my boobs are bright and very visible. I was getting light cramping last week and up to a few days ago, nothing now, just a fluttering feeling sometimes and the pulled muscle feeling. I've been moody and little nauseas, but not in the early morning like my last pregnancy, it usually happens around 9:30 or so.. anyone else? Thank you for reading!!

Need advice right now please!
I'm thirty weeks pregnant and have been having a lot of false alarms because ill get braxton hicks that last for six hours or more without stopping. A few days ago I was in the hospital and I had braxtons for twenty two hours, they put three IVs in me and it helped, so I drink lots of water now. OK well about twenty minutes ago I coughed or sneezed and I thought I tinkled myself like how I usually do, so I went to the bathroom and checked myself. I smelled it and it didn't smell like urine one bit, it had a sweet or earthy smell to it. Naturally that alarmed me.. I called the hospital and they said I should come in, the lady had an attitude because she gets constant calls from me. I'm also getting some vaginal pain and anal pain. I have no way to get ln the hospital except by ambulance and I don't have a way to get back home. I don't want to go to the hospital and have another false alarm again and then be stuck there till my mom gets back here in town later. Should I just wait it out?

Thank you :) well its been good talking to you, I'm gonna get off line now, ill write at this conversation again if I need help :) thanks so much for your advice
i love the name btw :) and yes that is completly normal its called leukorrhea,if you google it you will get lots of info on it,its also normal that the further along you get for it to increase,as long as its not a weird color or bad smelling its nothing to worry about
Oh serious ? Cool :) that stinks you haven't been able to really find out yet, but I'm sure you will the next time though. I have another weird symptom question.. I have been having a thick white discharge a lot.. is that normal?
well every time we have gone to have an ultrasound done they have said they couldnt tell 100% but to lean towards a boy,so thats what we are doing, i will be getting another ultrasound on the 26th so hopeful they can give us a 100% for sure answer this time lol, your not horribly young im 20 too lol
Oh you're not nosey, don't worry :) yes its a name I never heard of but once, we are naming her Dashal Lynn. And I'm 20 :) a young mother I know.. but I'm married. We are super excited about our little girl :) what are you having ?
yeah not a good idea, have you picked out any names yet lol sorry for being nosy i just love to hear baby names,also if you dont mind my asking how old are you?
Haha yeah I over worry about things. I forgot I also packed a swaddling blanket and a burping cloth. I didn't even think about what I should bring for myself XD ill definitely bring a pillow and a robe and phone and charger. I wgpg I could breast feed, I'm on some strong medications that would be bad for her to drink. I'm surprised my doctors kept me on them during the pregnancy but so far she is healthy and normal, thank goodness.. but they said if I were to breast feed, my medicine would probably sedate her.
Ugh needles.. hmmm I didn't know they numbed the area first. That's good that they do. What is recommended to bring to the hospital when you go in for the baby? I already have the diaper bag packed with diapers, wipes, clothes, baby powder, hand sanitizer, a bottle, a pacifier, and socks. Is that too much ? Is there anything else I should bring ?
I'm having a girl :) I'm hoping to have an epideral. I have been told that birth pains are unimaginably painful, I was told that by a woman who had five children. I hope your pregnancy goes normal for you this time, hopefully a much better experience for you. Yeah to hear her first cry, I can only imagine how heart wrenching and moving it is :) I can't wait. I'm a little afraid of the epideral needle though.. :/
Ok ill keep an eye on that, thank you :) what is child birth like ?
