If you are doing the (1) folder method, you'll need to verify and cross check PC and iPad to make sure all pics within each folder that you just sync made it.
I find that it helps to use a block of 10 or 20 pics to sync, that makes checking easier.
It is a manual and time consuming process, but it might work for you.

Just got off the phone with Apple support. Somehow the sync now seems to work. I'll repost if the problem reoccurs. Here's what we did:
1. Disconnect iPad
2. Launch iTunes. Under Edit/Preferences/Devices, check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
3. Close iTunes
4. Reopen iTunes
5. Reconnect iPad
6. Right-click on the iPad's name and choose "Reset warnings"
7. Unsync photos to clear iPad Photos store
8. Reselect folders (I have multiple folders) and sync again. All 1786 photos transferred.
Let me know whether that works for you.
Result: photos are synched. However, in several folders, they are not shown in the order of Date Taken as they should be. It seems that iTunes is patchy at reading the EXIF data in photos and gets confused. I use Windows Live Photo Gallery which shows them in the correct date order.

I've tried all different methods and the only solution for me is the 1 folder method. I've gone through my photos and do not appear to have any corrupt files.
I personally still believe it's the way iTunes is syncing, if you watch the memory doing the 1folder method, when you've synced so many photos when you click the next folder to be synced iTunes starts showing the actual photo file/folder size rather than the optimised size, therefore if you click several other folders they won't be transferred as iTunes/the iPad doesn't think there's enough storage. If you first allow the folder to sync before clicking others you will see the memory drop back down to the optimised size. This is what's happening in my case anyway.

Those steps - 1 to 8 - worked for me, I now have all my photos on my iPad.
Thank you.

I have done exactly this so many times I can't keep track of the number. I too have multiple folders and have managed to transfer all except one which it refuses to sync. Also one of the folders only transfers about half of the photos and that's after many syncs.
Am still convinced this is an iPad 3 specific issue as my iPad 2 and iPhones sync just fine
The first step is for Apple to admit they have a problem which thus far they don't......denial
Sheva7 May 7, 2012 1:17 AM
in response to snerkler1
I did the 1 folder method.....MANY times but as I indicated below it doesn't syn all the folders nor all the photos within some folders
What's also apparently the case is that each person seems to experience the problem differently

You should consider using alternative photo viewers / album apps. I recommend Photo Manager Pro the most, particularly if your shots have location data in them and/or you want to reduce storage usage. You won't encounter any sync problems with it.
There's a decent article on it, comparing it to the alternatives and explaining the inherent problems of the stock Photos at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/all-one-photo-viewer-roundup-70-price-drop-bes t-image-viewer

that's what I use and it still doesn't resolve all the issues
Menneisyys May 7, 2012 4:59 AM
in response to Sheva7
Exactly how are you doing it? Are you still synching via the Photos tab and, then, from the third-party app, you import your images from there, or, are you synching directly, via iTunes File Sharing (not to be confused with synching via the Photos tab!) directly (and only) to the third-party app?
Needless to say, the latter should be used (with a viewer that does support File Sharing).
dmwhk May 7, 2012 6:01 AM
in response to Menneisyys
I am syncing via the Photos tab. I do not have a third-party photo manager (but after all this, I am seriously considering buying Photo Manager Pro). The price does not deter me (it is only US$3) but I am deterred by the thought of having to use third-party file sharing, so that the files won't be accessible to other apps. It is a bit like the choice between using iBooks to look at PDFs and using a third party app like iAnnotate (which is much more functional).

"but I am deterred by the thought of having to use third-party file sharing, so that the files won't be accessible to other apps"
You can always export any images from PMP via Edit / (select any number of imgs) / Export / to Photos. Then, these images become available to all apps capable of accessing the Camera Roll, incl. the stock Photos.
dmwhk May 7, 2012 7:32 AM
in response to Menneisyys
Sounds like a lot of effort - if native Photos worked properly I wouldn't have to do that. Presumably exporting from PMP creates a copy of the file which uses up more memory too.
Part of these restrictions are caused by Apple's phobia of open folder structures - in an open world, files created by one app would be available to all other apps without importing/exporting. Probably for a similar reason, there are no sub-albums (sub-folders) in Photos - so all my folder structure for photos (year/month/date) gets collapsed into one album when I sync it to the iPad.
Menneisyys May 7, 2012 7:40 AM
in response to dmwhk
One-level folders are supported by Photos. That is, if you give iTunes a folder with one-level (no further children in them) subfolders to sync, it'll transfer the existing folder structure. A crude "solution" can be reorganizing your folder struct to have separate folders for each day, named YYYY-mm-dd or the like.
Of course, it's far from perfect. Third-party apps are so much better in this respect (too) and, as usual, shame on Apple to make such a restricted system.

Um....gee.....isn't all of this a bit ridiculous when Apple products are, ahem, "simply magical", and ahem, "just work"? The bottom line reply to all of these proposed workarounds: WE SHOULDN'T FREAKING HAVE TO!!!!!!!!!

Photographer Michael S. Confer spent months trying to get the perfect shot of the 29-year-old animal, named Coldilocks at Philadelphia Zoo, PA.
He said: "I have a zoo membership and had been going by the polar area on every visit, hoping to see even a splash. But I had no luck. I spent a long time sat next to her enclosure waiting for here to dive in."
Mr Confer eventually got lucky during a visit to the enclosure with wife Shannon, 38, a university lecturer, and daughter Normandie, three.
"I had lost hope and was 50 yards away leaving the polar area when my wife yelled for me to hurry back. I come running back to viewing pane that runs down one side of her pool. There was Coldilocks swimming about ever so gracefully.
"She swam for 8 minutes and after setting the camera I was able to take about 140 shots.
"Because of her movement, shooting through glass and dealing with other spectators, most images I got were either blurry or obscured by bubbles. But I did get these five stunning results.
"In the closer images she was only two feet from my face, separated by only a pane of observation glass.
"Looking through the zoom with her pressed so close to me there were a couple of moments where I thought I was a goner. Having such a powerful animal so close really made me feel like I was vulnerable and small.
"After watching her play with her ball she came up to the glass and really peered into the lens. She was really curious about what I was doing.
"I couldn't believe it when she suddenly straightened up and seemed to give me a wave. Then she circled past me and pushed away using her legs like a swimmer. It was an incredible sight."
Mr Confer's intimate images have won a number of awards.
He was a winner in the Communication Arts 50th Photo Annual unpublished category.
The images were then published in their October photo annual issue. Communication Arts in the US is the largest global trade journal of visual communications .
Two of the images were also selected as winners for the American Society of Media Photographers New York photo competition. They were exhibited in August at the Farmani Gallery in Brooklyn.
Coldilocks was born at Seneca Park Zoo in New York and was moved to Philadelphia in 1981.
She is part of the Ambassadors of Education for the Polar Bear International Partnership. The non-profit project aims to improve worldwide conservation of the polar bear and its natural habitat through teaching people about the animals.

Big sound for the price. Easy to move.
This review is from: Bazooka Single 8" 100W Amplified Tube
Pros: Loud for most people, easily fill the car with bass. Covers 90% of electronic bass. Easy to connect. Light enough to move. Shakes mirrors.
Cons: Has trouble with a few of the lowest lows. You cant FEEL it very much. Must mount the straps. No wiring kit. Great, but I still want more.
Other Thoughts: Full sound in a Civic sedan w/ 1/2 the seat back open. I wanted something simple, inexpensive & easy to move out of the way. Way simpler & lighter than making your own. Easy install with amp wiring kit. Proper ground is important.

Sweet item
This review is from: Bazooka Single 8" 100W Amplified Tube
Pros: I put this in myself after buying the F.A.S.T. wiring system. Glad I went with 8" powered over the 6" one. Really balanced out my new JVC Arensal and JL system. It put the new system right where I wanted it to be. The install was very easy, too.
Cons: Not sure who is to blame on this but, when I received this Bazooka via UPS from the egg, the box was completely open on one end torn and partially crushed. There were what looked like about three pounds of packing tape all over the open end, too. I made sure no items were missing or damaged in any way. Very disappointing. I could not give 5 eggs given the condition the box was in when I finally got it.
Other Thoughts: The more I have thought about this, I now have come to the conclusion that, IF, I ever receive anything in this condition, or close to it, that item will be returned immediately. I took a chance here, and, all is well. The next time I may not be as lucky. Chalk this one up to experience, but NEVER again.

Great for the Money
This review is from: Bazooka Single 8" 100W Amplified Tube
Pros: good bass for inside the car. Not going to rattle the windows but fills out the stock stereo nicely.
Cons: wires are pretty short and no fast.
Other Thoughts: Been doing this for years. Back in the day I used to run some pretty high end stuff. Phoenix gold, Orion, Fosgate,ppi ect.. Not grant it. This isnt any of those. But this does add some nice bass to fill out my stock stereo in my honda accord. For $179 with built in amp its great. This model did not have the fast hookup but still all in all went pretty good. About an hour and a half and I was up and going.

Arts Roundup: D.C. Has, Like, Zero Taste Edition
Today's roundup is late and short! Sorry, readers.
- I really like this page, which compares the last.fm stats of different cities. Unfortunately, either there's a bug or D.C. just does not listen to music. Could go either way! To judge by the nifty venn diagrams, Earth has only two truly international stars: Radiohead and Lady Gaga.
- A Giacometti sculpture sold for a shit-ton—in fact, the biggest shit-ton ever!
- Hollywood Video filed for Chapter 11 and is closing more than 700 stores—including two in D.C.
- Things I don't care about but clearly someone does: Lost, stupid made-up rivalries between Best Director nominees who used to be married, pandas.
- In this week's City Paper, on stands today: reviews of new music from Oddisee and Citay; Josha Ferris' sophomore novel The Unnamed; and three theater openings—suicide.chat.room, Antony & Cleopatra, and The Rivalry.
I'm going to create a Giacometti out of ice and snow this weekend and sell it for cocoa! Have a great day!

ok so i have the old fluted 151 bcd campy record track cranks. a while back they started creaking on my dura ace bottom bracket. lbs told me it was because of spindle differences. so i replaced it with a new sealed campy bottom bracket. worked great for months. but now my new lbs said that only 94 and later had different spindle angles. i've looked all over the internut and can't find a definitive answer.
well basically, whenever i put back pressure on my right crank, it makes this horribly loud creaking noise. everything is tight. checked chainring bolts, crank bolts, pedals, lockring, cog, bottom bracket cups. only thing i haven't done is take apart the bb completely. any advice?

These little rings are delicate and very pretty . . . I use them with a simple hand-made ear wire for earrings. I'm thinking I may combine two or three of them with jump rings for longer dangles. They add some sparkle and a little bit of color, and even though the glass is not very heavy or thick, I have not found them to be fragile. Just wish Swarovskis weren't so expensive!

I was wondering how everyone decided to tell their family and friends that they were pregnant, and when?
I am 8.5 weeks pregnant, and we have our first pre-natal appointment at the start of my 10th week. I had a m/c in December, so we've been real tight-lipped about this pg - only my doctor, dentist, and chiropractor know, other than DH.
We will wait to inform non-immediate family until after the first trimester, if we can help it. We were thinking about telling our moms on Mother's Day, but it will be 4 days before the doctor's visit. I just want to make sure that all is well before telling people, but DH really wants to break the news on Mother's Day, and says that 4 days isn't that different. We know our moms will be thrilled, and what a great day to break the news, but I'm still nervous.
What are your thoughts? What did you do? Even after the first trimester passed, how did you tell your friends? email? facebook?

I was wondering how everyone decided to tell their family and friends that they were pregnant, and when?
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 3:40 PM EDTHmm, Mother's Day would be a great day to break the news... will anyone else be there who you won't want to hear - just in case? If it's just your immediate family, then can you swear them to secrecy?
We waited until 8 weeks because we needed to ask our parents the questions on the family health history questionnaire that our doctor requested. Otherwise, I might have waited (out of total awkwardness, to be honest). We waited until nearly 12 weeks to tell our friends out of convenience - we were hosting a party before Thanksgiving, so it was just easy to blurt it out once and everyone close to us heard. Once we were out of the closet, we just let the news spread. We kept everything off of facebook.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 3:41 PM EDTJennifyr. First of all congrats. I am also 8 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy though so we have told people a little earlier than last time. For our first we waited until the 1st trimester to tell our friends. My parent's I told the day I got a positive pregnancy test and we told DH parents a few weeks later on x-mas eve. I am with your DH on this and think Mother's Day would be so a great time to tell them. What better gift then to let them know they are going to be grand parents. Congrats again!
FYI. I am not sure what your dr. do for the 1st visit but I just had mine and all my dr. did was check to make sure my uterus was the proper size and my cervix was closed. Some practices do an u/s but mine doesn't do one until the 12th week.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 3:47 PM EDTThe timing for us more or less depended on telling my in-laws in person. They live in Texas, so for baby #1, we told my parents on Easter and the following weekend we were meeting up with hubby's parents in Las Vegas for a family vacation. We told each set of parents in person. That was around 9 or 10 weeks I think. For #2, hubby's parents were in town for Memorial Day weekend, and that is my Dad's birthday. We had a BBQ at my house and since #2 was due on 12/26, I decided to have Christmas ornaments made. I think at that point I was around 9 weeks. I had a very strict rule both times that there was to be no discussing the baby news with anyone until after 14 weeks. I think it nearly killed my mother-in-law. I think that if I could have waited longer I would have, but I wanted my husband to be able to share the news with his parents in person like I could.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 3:53 PM EDTMy decision regarding who to tell and how early to do it was based on whether I'd be comfortable with them knowing if I were to have a m/c. If so, I told as soon as we got a BFP (mom, dad, cousin). If not, I was waiting until after the first trimester (everyone else).So, would you be OK with sharing bad news with the people DH wants to tell now? That's the real question.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 3:57 PM EDTI actually waited until after my second prenatal visit, at 13 weeks, because at that point they could hear the heartbeat with the doppler so it reassured me that there was something alive in there. I'm now 14 weeks and we've told just immediate family, and one close friend. (Plus my good friend, who I told around 5 weeks when I thought the pregnancy was failing and needed someone to talk to.)
Frankly the reactions to my pregnancy have been weird and bad, and I now wish I'd waited longer. I don't look pregnant at all, so it's not like I had to say anything yet. My parents have been basically fine. But my dad told my niece--who is 3 years old--all about it, which I really didn't want him to do--I think it's way too early and had planned to wait until I had a belly or she could feel the baby kick or something. My husband's family was all bizarrely shocked and didn't seem all that happy. And our friend was shocked/horrified and made it clear he thought our lives were basically over now.
Also, I have been trying very hard to take this a step at a time, because I'm pretty paranoid about the pregnancy and it's easier for me that way. Almost everyone we told has kind of jumped ahead to asking about my plans for the birth (in creepy detail), or wanting to know my work plans, or haranguing us about what kind of crib to get, or whatever else. All of this is six months away, and the focus on it this early is stressing me out a lot.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:10 PM EDTKar, we are comfortable sharing news of a m/c with our immediate family (MIL, FIL, SIL, my mom and my brother). This is who we would likely tell about the pregnancy on Mother's Day. However, with our last m/c, our parents ended up telling many people that we were not prepared to tell (aunts/uncles, family friends) and I think we are just scared they will do the same this time around.
We agreed that if we tell, we will give them strict instructions not to breathe a word of this to anyone. I hope that after learning how upset we were that they told people of the m/c, they would respect that, but both our moms are notorious blabbermouths, and while we know it would only be out of excitement, I don't trust them not to tell people and brag about how they will be grandma's.
And I agree about the in-person thing. But my mom lives in California, so unless we want to wait until June when we are going out there for a friend's wedding, then it will have to be over the phone with her. I am hoping to tell other friends and family on the West Coast in person when we are there and that will be about 14 weeks, which is great. DH's parent's live nearby, so we would definitely do that in person.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:12 PM EDTFor both pgs, we did something like this. DH and I told our immediate families right away (just parents, and my brother because there are only 3 of us in my family). We told all of DH's siblings after our first appointment where we saw the heartbeat (around 8-9 weeks). We then told extended family and close friends at about 14 weeks with #1 and after the anatomy scan (18 weeks) with #2. Anyone that we wanted to find out more personally, we called before making a post on Facebook. Otherwise, Facebook was the easy way to get the word out. (We have friends and extended family scattered all through Oceania, Europe, and the US.) Unfortunately, I had debilitating m/s both times and I had to let work know quite early (around 8 weeks with both). There were times I felt awful that work people knew before some of our family, but there was no way around it. So, I didn't give in to the guilt.
There's no right or wrong way to handle it. Just work out with DH when and how much you are BOTH comfortable sharing. Good luck!!
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:18 PM EDTThistle, I'm so sorry about your experience in telling people. That's awful that people haven't been supportive! It sounds like the guy who was shocked/horrified probably doesn't like kids or thinks your friendship will change once you have a child. Unfortunately, he's taking his own feelings/insecurities out on you, which is so inconsiderate.
I also think some of my anxiety lies in not really knowing if all is okay. I "know" I'm pg - i took two tests 5 days and 10 days after AF was supposed to arrive and got BFP's, and my cycles are pretty regular. The fact that AF hasn't arrived for almost 9 weeks is most definitely a sign. But other than my sore breasts and some very slight nausea and some tiredness, I don't look or feel pregnant. Granted, I don't know that you are supposed to have any additional symptoms or signs, but I think after hearing a heartbeat or having an ultrasound I would be more comfortable.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:51 PM EDTWe told our immediate family at about 6 weeks...just parents and siblings and asked everyone to keep it to themselves (and definitely off facebook). My first dr appointment was at 9 weeks, and they didn't do an u/s, they just did bloodwork and checked to make sure my uterus was the right size. My next appointment is this Wednesday and I am now 12 weeks...they will do an u/s and I will finally get to hear the heartbeat. I will probably tell friends/extended family and work in the next month or so.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:52 PM EDTIf the issue is the risk of their telling people, ask yourself if that risk is worth taking for DH's request to be able to share. It seems that he has his heart set on telling on Mother's Day, and you have to decide if the risk of any other family finding out is high enough or worth enough to you to tell him not to tell now. Every decision is a risk-benefit analysis.Tell now risk - blabbermouths might tell other people earlier than you preferTell now benefit - DH gets his wish to share your happy news on Mother's DayTell later risk - DH is very disappointed to keep the secret past Mother's Day and it possibly comes between you on Mother's DayTell later benefit - If no one knows early no one can tell
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 4:55 PM EDTThistle- I'm so sorry to hear that sharing the news has been such a difficult experience for you!!
Jennifyr- I ended up having an ultrasound around 7.5 weeks where we saw the heartbeat in the little tadpole, and that is when we told my parents and my sister and BIL. I wanted to tell my parents right away, but I was also hesitant and wanted to see how things progressed the first few weeks. I am (and DH is) very close to my parents and sister/BIL and I knew that they would be the people I'd rely on if something bad happened. I also started my m/s aroudn that time and just needed my mommy. (yes, at 30 I think we can still need our moms to make us feel better) They agreed that they would not tell anyone, and they didn't. We decided to wait until 12 weeks to tell MIL for a variety of reasons. Basically, she lives so far away we didn't want her to worry if anything bad did happen and we also weren't sure we could trust her to keep it to herself and we didn't want to take the chance of the word spreading.
12 weeks is also when I shared with my grandparents and DH and I told close friends. I'm halfway through my 13th week and we are slowly telling more people. I'm still managing to keep the secret at work though!
I think it's a very sweet idea to tell your parents on Mother's Day, if that's what you decide to do. Good luck with your decision!
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/2/2011 7:17 PM EDTJennifer - we had several m/c's so we waited to tell people for as long as was possible. Like itsallnew we told my parents and DH's parents after we had an ultrasound where we could see a heartbeat and things were going well (around 8 weeks but we were being monitored by an RE so we had several early u/s's)
I think like Kar said you have to weigh how comfortable you are telling those people if you were to m/c. If you decide you are okay with it then I think Mother's Day is a perfect time!
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/3/2011 8:42 AM EDTWe waited until after our early screening so it was about 12 weeks. My parents live in FL and my IL's live in RI. In advance, we said to my parents that it would be fun to Skype with them when we were at my IL's house over Labor Day weekend so we could all chat. We went down to my IL's and told them (I forget how we actually worded it) and then went on Skype to tell my parents. My SIL's grandmother was visiting my parents at their house at the time so she ended up finding out at the same time which wasn't the way we had planned, but it worked out fine. We then told our siblings and close friends on the phone over the next week (and told them not to say anything on FB). After everyone important was notified, we did it on FB.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/3/2011 10:37 AM EDTThanks for sharing and your advice. We talked about it again last night and we are going to tell them on Mother's Day. Then we ordered flowers to be delivered on Monday (after we officially break the news) with Happy Mother's Day to the new grandma as the card.
We will just need to be very explicit about not telling other people until we give them the OK.

We found out in Febuary ( on Valentines day <3) I was about 9 weeks and I told my mother the next day, as we have a history of m/c and genetic defects in my family I needed some information from her, we also told my partners parents the same day, as they live in Florida and we knew we wouldnt be able to tell them in person. We each only have one brother and SIL so we told them at around 10-11 weeks and told them it was a secret and please no posts on facebook (our #1 rule). I told my Dad on his birthday as a special treat I gave him the u/s pics and a grandpa card, he was so funny.."this says grandpa, not dad?!?" hahas yes dad open the card!!! The rest of my immediate family (aunts, uncles, cousins) I told on Easter, I was about 16.5 weeks.
As for friends and extended family we told them after my whole immediate family knew we wanted to wait the heartbeat and u/s, and all testings came back positive.
I still havent told work, I plan on doing that around week 20 (2 more weeks) thats when my dr said first time moms usually "pop" right now i just look a little bloated =)
I think its whatever you feel comfortable with, and if you trust the people enough to respect your wishes (not telling anyone, not putting on a social network etc) and if you are comfortable enough to talk to them if god forbid you do have a m/c.
I must say it is a very stressful time, who do you tell, who don't you tell? I do feel better not having to lie to people anymore tho! I was lucky that my early pregnancy fell during lent so I could tell people "I gave up drinking for lent" when I was at various birthday parties and St.Paddys day celebrations.
Good Luck to all <3
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/9/2011 10:27 PM EDTThought I'd give you all an update. We told my mom over the phone on Sunday. She was super excited! The due date is a day before her birthday (Dec 7th) so she is already starting to think about flights to come out here for the birth/Christmas.
We told DH's parents tonight when we went out to dinner for a belated Mother's Day celebration. We bought one of those recordable cards and said "Happy Mother's Day Grandma-to-be!" She opened the card, heard it, and then popped up her head like "what?" and then ran over and gave me a hug. DH's dad didn't hear what it said and was looking at us like we were nuts. Then he listened to the card and got excited too. It was perfect!
I think my in-laws will be very discreet, but I think my mom will have the hardest time keeping the news to herself. Part of the problem is that she is across the country, and she doesn't really have anyone out there to share in the excitement with her. My brother knows, and I told her they could talk about it, but she was like, can't I at least tell so and so? Well what about this person? And I kept saying no one, not until we hit the 2nd trimester. If she ends up telling one of her friends who I never see, that would be okay with me. I just don't want her telling anyone that I want to tell myself. Plus, I'm still overly cautious until the doctor's appt this week. Maybe after all checks out okay I will be a little more lenient with who she can talk to :)
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/10/2011 9:22 AM EDTJennifry, What a great way to tell them. I know that I was paranoid with our first and even though I told my mom not to tell anyone she couldn't resist. We had an x-mas eve party and everyone kept on coming up to me congratulating me. At that point I was almost at the end of the 1st trimester and it turned out at my U/S I was actually 3 weeks farther along that I had thought.
Only a few more weeks away and you will be done with the 1st trimester. BTW - your due date is 4 days ahead of mine. I hope you have had a great trimester. I can't wait for the first u/s.
Re: Breaking the news
posted at 5/10/2011 9:43 AM EDTJennifyr, that sounds like it went great! Congratulations! And I bet you've made yourself clear enough that if your mom does share the news with anyone, it'll be someone you don't know (and therefore not as much of a problem).

So this means if Olivia is not developmentally ready to speak at 18 months - which is three months away (by the looks of things right now in the last few months is not going to happen unless we get a STRONG growth spurt here) then she will not get speech until she is developmentally ready. This could be when she is chronologically 20 or 22 or 24 months or longer. How awful is that!!!

Chevrolet Cruze Diesel 46 MPG Sets Highway Fuel Economy Benchmark
- Best Highway Fuel Economy of Any Non-Hybrid Passenger Car in America
- Can travel 700 highway miles on single tank
The new 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel, delivers an industry best EPA-estimated 46 MPG on the highway – better than any non-hybrid passenger car in America. It will be available in certain cities this spring and nationwide and in Canada in early fall.
Equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission, the latest addition to the Cruze powertrain family has an estimated range of 700 highway miles on one tank of diesel fuel based on the EPA highway estimate and the vehicle's fuel tank capacity. That's about 10 hours of highway driving.
"We harnessed generations of diesel expertise to adapt our world-class global engine for the North American market. The Cruze Diesel is the best diesel passenger car out there. Chevrolet is redefining the meaning of great fuel economy with this car."
Gary Altman, chief engineer, Chevrolet Cruze Diesel
Available for $25,695, 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel offers the best highway fuel economy of any non-hybrid passenger car in America. All-new Cruze Diesel delivers segment-leading SAE-certified 151 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque with segment-leading 46 mpg highway. It can go 717 miles on one tank of diesel fuel.
With a starting price of $25,695, including an $810 destination charge, the Chevrolet Cruze Diesel is a better value than a similarly equipped VW Jetta TDI automatic. Compared with Jetta, the Cruze Diesel offers standard equipment including the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, larger 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-appointed seating, a longer five-year 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, and a two-year maintenance plan.
Cruze Diesel also beats its rivals in performance with a segment-leading estimated 148 horsepower (110 kW) and estimated 258 lb-ft of torque (350 Nm), and can go 0-60 in about 8.6 seconds. Its advanced 2.0L turbo-diesel engine has an overboost feature capable of increasing torque to an estimated 280 lb-ft (380 Nm) for short bursts of stronger acceleration when needed, such as entering freeway traffic.
Cruze Diesel is powered by the cleanest diesel passenger car engine produced by General Motors. The vehicle generates 90 percent less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and particulate emissions when compared to previous-generation diesels. Chevrolet has sold more than 2 million Cruze models globally since it was launched in mid-2010. More than 35,000 of those were diesel powered in 2012.

I know some foods go by whether your baby is sitting, crawling, and walking...etc.
So my question is, what are you all doing for the early milestone hitters? If you have a 9 month old running around like a toddler, do you give them toddler food? Or a 4 month old that crawls, do you give them that food?
I know it depends on the baby too but some people use the packages as a guide. I know I have personally. And now I'm just not sure
Some what off topic but still in relation; when I entered Laz in the Gerber baby contest as a crawler, it asked me was I sure basically. So that confirms for me even more that a lot of products are based on what best for your child at the age that they should be doing certain milestones, not considering the baby's that may do it early. What goes for them? KWIM?

Chicago's Charter Public Schools Top The List Of Highest Performing Non-Selective High Schools
Chicago charter schools increase student test scores and college readiness CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the first time in Chicago history, this year the top 11 highest performing non-selective Chicago Public Schools high schools are charter schools. This year's performance is up from nine schools on the list in both 2011 and 2012 and seven schools on the list in 2010. The Noble Network of Charter Schools led the pack with a total of nine schools in the top 10 this year. Chicago International Charter Schools – Northtown and Chicago Math and Science Academy tied for the 10 th spot. This is the first time charter public schools accounted for all schools in the top ten rankings of non-selective enrollment high schools in the city.All Illinois students are required to take the ACT and the composite score of 21 is widely used as the national benchmark to determine college readiness. Noble Network's UIC College Prep campus' score of 22 is the highest ever average at an open enrollment, non-selective CPS high school. All 11 charter schools in the top 10 non-selective enrollment high schools surpassed CPS' district ACT average of 17.7, and four met or surpassed the national benchmark of 21. This year's scores reflect the upward trend on the ACT for all students in non-selective enrollment schools, indicating that charter schools continue to push the bar higher for student achievement across the district. In short, Chicago public charter schools are proving what parents already know: when it comes to academic outcomes, charter public schools are changing lives. "The rise in ACT scores is evidence of what we already know: all Chicago public school students can achieve academic success when given the necessary tools and guidance," said Andrew Broy, President of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools. "Charter schools ensure more students have access to the high-quality education they deserve. We applaud the dedication and daily sacrifices of the many charter school teachers, administrators and staff. It's hard work. But because of their focus on academic growth and relentless efforts to improve student outcomes, more students are on the right path and prepared to succeed in college and beyond." While ACT scores have long been a mainstay in evaluating school and student performance, they are only one part of the story. We must broaden the debate on what it takes to be successful in college. Student growth, graduation rates, and college enrollment and persistence rates are critical metrics for understanding a school's performance in preparing students for college and life. Student growth during high school is a particularly powerful predictor of future success – and proves that a student's academic starting point does not define his or her potential.

Snow leopard by AlisaKissWatch
©2013-2016 AlisaKiss
Original costume designed and made by me. I wanted something cute to pose in the snow with. (yes, I was cold. Next question please. lol)
Absolutely love this one.
Dress up like Slave Oola in Star Wars episode 6
Wow, you make me purr
you're saying it snowed in GA at 'relatively' the same time last year??? wow lol. I just saw your new Red Sonjas, so...
Nice kitty and real Irbis fur! Or artificial?
Say me what it artificial fur! I'm so sorry about these wildcats! What's a pity, kill real snow leopard!
At first I was like, "Hot!"...
then I'm like, "Dang, that isn't just a snowy background is it?" o_o
Nice fantasy
Great outfit! Well done!
Seriously, great costume design. That took dedication to make and wear in the snow, but the results are delightful. Cold for you, but it warms my heart (and other organs).
The beautiful sister of "Puss in Boots"? :-P
Absolutely fantastic!
Costume and photo are very cool (pun intended)! I've always loved snow leopards....wonder if you could find a tame(-ish) one to pose with? that would make for a really awesome pic set.
You look exactly like Melody, the blonde from Josie and the Pussycats, here. Hope you had a Merry Christmas, hon.
One of my favorite animals + One of my favorite cosplayers/models = OhmyGAWDinstantLUV!
Fantastic work, Alisa! Keep it up and thanks for sharing!

Fantastic work, Alisa! Keep it up and thanks for sharing!
-- Stephen
On the behalf of admirers of beautiful women everywhere, thank you for enduring the cold to come up with this amazing picture! The costume is great and you look stunning in it.
Damn, girl! Not a question, just an attagirl for braving the cold dressed like that. You definitely give a cosplay your all! Merry Christmas!
Come here, i'll keep you warm.
Yes, very cold and hot shot.
Very beautiful love. I know it was cold, but the shot was well worth it. Thanks for sharing
Really nice.
Don't forget the coffee next time.
Don't forget the coffee next time.
Awww. If only Mac OS X Snow Leopard looked like this.
Wow!! Fantastic
She must be freezing. lol
"Soft kitty, warm kitty . . . "
Sorry you had to freeze your butt off but this is a very nice picture.
Always Beautiful!!
It may be cold but you are so HOT!
How could a scene this hot possibly have snow around it? Love the buckles on those boots.
I like the costume! It's sexy and cute at the same time. You are obviously a great costume designer. Of course the costume wouldn't be very exciting without a pretty woman in it! Very nice.
Woah, I like alot.
i think I may draw this one if its alright
Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and come inside and snuggle up by the fire with a glass of mulled wine.
sexy and merry Christmas
That had to be unpleasantly cold.
Dem boots. Oh my.
It could be the angle, but it appears they you've bulked up just a tad. And by that I mean whoa momma.
Take the gaddam photo I'M FREEZING!
So pretty
Great picture!! you need to post more often! we miss you!
Looking cute and awww, cold question taken already....ah well next question, didn't you take up some snow balls and tossed atleast one at someone? XD
Merry Sexy Christmas!! Me-I sang a Christmas solo!! [Not a sexy solo-but not solo that they couldn't hear!!]
Not many can manage to be freezing cold and smoking hot at the same time!

Very angry
I know that sounds harsh but this hits me on a personal level.
Kassak, I agree that teens should not be parents but yet I take personal offense to your post. I had a little girl when i was 16. She wasnt planned. And I have to admitt it was very hard. But I wouldnt trade my daughter for the world! I now have a beautiful 4 year old. A very nice house that my husband and I have worked hard to have. Heck we even have a brand new car! My daughter has the world at her feet! We dont have government assistance.We work hard for everything we have. We have even been trying for the last 1 1/2 years to have another baby and have had 2 m/c in the process.
Needless to say.... Not every teenager turns out to be a horrible parent! I believe i have turned out to be a damn good parent! Especially to my daughter whom is a Type 1 Diabetic! Who has 4 shots a day and several finger pricks a day that I have to give to keep her healthy!
Mommy to Mekenzie (T1D) Expecting Gabriel May 2013
I realise that most people "think" they are giving advice, but unless you have been in the OPs situation I think all you can do is commiserate or don't post!
A lot of teenagers do swear at their parents, a lot of teenagers do over react - that is normal (well in New Zealand and Australia it is), no matter how much you want to distinguish yourself as an adult, isolate the OP and minimise her very tough situation. Like the OP said she isn't an adult, so she did struggle to react in a mature manner. I did see signs though that the OP realises she was rough on her parents - and remember she made her original post when she had just stormed away from one of the most confronting moments of her life.
My mum was 18 when she had me, I helped her become an adult and she is incredible. I hate to think how people treated her when she was pregnant, and it hurts me to see the OP coming here for help and escape and instead being lectured and put down.

The Beck Papers were the foundation upon which this work was built, James M. Beck left an extensive collection of letters to and from himself, scrapbooks holding a full newspaper record of his activities, a bound set of addresses, diaries for 1884 and 1902-1907, and a full set of briefs. All but the legal material is in the Firestone Library of Princeton University; the briefs are in the Law Library of the Library of Congress. Beck's books, magazine articles, pamphlets, and Congressional speeches and reports round out the available expressions of a highly vocal twentieth- century American conservative.
Also consulted were the collections of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, Albert J. Beveridge, Charles J. Bonaparte, William E. Borah, Joseph H. Choate, Charles Evans Hughes, Philander C. Knox, John Purroy Mitchel, Theodore Roosevelt, Elihu Root, Ellery C. Stowell, William H. Taft, and Woodrow Wilson, all in the Division of Manuscripts in the Library of Congress; of Albert S. Burleson, W. Bourke Cockran, and M. Louise Gross, in the Division of Manuscripts of the New York Public Library; of the League to Enforce Peace and Oswald G. Villard, in Harvard University's Houghton Library; of the Year Files, Appointment Clerk Files, Mail and Files Division, and Opinions of the Department of Justice in the National Archives, and the Reminiscences of Frederic R. Coudert, Sr., in the Oral History Research project of Columbia University.
These and the other sources of this study will be referred to in more detail in the footnotes following.

When you think of who would make the best opener for an amped-up, pop powerhouse, the last person in mind might very well be Los Angeles' Frank Fairfield. Walking into Neumos, it felt like something in the fabric of time had ripped open and dropped an unsuspecting Fairfield onto the comparatively swanky stage. Looking like an extra member of the Soggy Bottom Boys, Fairfield manically switches between banjo, guitar, and violin during his one-man show, playing front porch foot stompers and mournful murder ballads.
Brendan Benson played Neumos on Monday, February 15.
Fairfield's banjo and guitar playing were especially incredible, given how absolutely raw his performance was. One microphone to sing in, one mic on his lap for his instrument, and absolutely no reverb or effects at all. If you focused on him long enough and not on the surrounding audience and confines, the whole "man out of time" aspect of it was especially enchanting. Politely telling quick stories in between songs and shyly accepting the audience applause, Fairfield's old-timey folk was a great contrast to the Benson's slick pop.
Choosing to start his set with "Folk Singer", Brendan Benson--who moonlights alongside Jack White in the Raconteurs--was either showing his wit in regards to the Great Fairfield/Benson Set Change of 2010, or maybe he just chose it because it's a great, riffy rave-up to start out his set with. Either way, it kicked the first show of Benson's West Coast tour off perfectly.With his floppy mop of hair and three-day stubble, Brendan Benson looks like he has the same wrinkle in time going for him that Fairfield does, but stepped out of the 1970s instead of the 1930s. Benson plays an eclectic blend of some of the best extremes of pop, and I was curious to see how awesomely overblown it would come across live. While his band is pretty charged up and spot on (especially his guitarist, who effortlessly swung from guitar to keys multiple times a song, all while holding down spotless backing vocals and tossing in some shredding leads), Benson plays it fairly laid back and cool.
Never getting too raved up, Benson wears the shy/sleepy/stoned frontman look well, comfortably playing through some of the best hits of his catalog and cordially thanking the somewhat sparse audience for coming out, but never getting too playful or personal with his stage banter. It would've been great to see him get as fired up as the sugar rush of "Spit It Out" (which sent the band into overdrive while Benson kept his cool swagger) or the "should be blasting out of a Barracuda" bombast of "A Whole Lot Better", but the trade off is that Benson's voice sounds absolutely flawless, and golden on every song. He knows his limitations, and his voice sounded totally perfect through every moment of the set.
While there were some disappointing moments ("I'm Blessed" was a total omission from the set, "Tiny Spark" sounded way thinner live than on record, and "Crosseyed" and "Feel Like Taking You Home" weren't really up on my list of songs that I absolutely needed to hear Benson play live), the show was exactly what it promised to be: a no-frills, sweet, and sweaty 70's-esque power-pop time capsule.

Where the Hell Has This Been?
I've just listened to the Donald's foreign policy speech. It was excellent. Informed. Measured. OK, a bit ambitious. But it reflected more understanding of how the world works and of a strong but reasonable approach to protecting Americans and American interests in that world than anyone has heard from Donald to this point. (And I liked the complete sentences.) Where the hell has this been? This is Jekyll to Donald's usual Hyde.
Of course it was a prepared speech, written by someone else. (Perhaps this speechwriter should replace John François Kerry at State.) But Trump gave every indication of both understanding and believing what he was saying. The Big Question left is whether Trump is too big of a flake to live up to executing his own speech in office. Like Frost's night traveler and fan of falling snow in "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," Trump has miles to go before convincing his many doubters. But this could be a start.

Construction Manager
Construction Update
April marks the start of water line and utility relocation work, which will continue into the summer.
Work on the new bridge over Horsepen Run, roadway widening, drainage work and clearing is ongoing.
About the Project
Loudoun County Parkway/Old Ox Road (Route 606) connects two major roads, Route 50 and Route 28 (Sully Road) and is a desirable route for motorists from points west to access Ashburn, Sterling and Herndon. The road is currently congested in both directions during peak hours. This project will address the need to increase capacity on this section of road due to growth in the surrounding area and the resulting increase in traffic congestion.
The project will:
- Reconstruct and widen the existing two-lane rural road to four lanes between Evergreen Mills Road (Route 621) and the Dulles Greenway (Route 267) (a distance of about 5 miles)
- Include provisions for bicyclists and pedestrians.
VDOT awarded the design-build contract to the Shirley/Dewberry team on May 14, 2014 for approximately $77 million. The NTP (Notice to Proceed) was issued on June 19, 2014. Survey and final design were the first items to occur following the NTP, with construction having begun in September 2015. Final completion is scheduled in the fall of 2017.
Project Background
Planning for the widening of the Route 606 corridor between Route 50 and the Dulles Greenway has been ongoing since the early 1990s. The first segment was implemented in 2002-03 with the reconstruction and widening between Route 50 and Evergreen Mills Road.
The project will implement the 'Interim Condition' as described in Loudoun County's Countywide Transportation Plan. This plan calls for Route 606 to be a controlled-access, median-divided urban collector. The ultimate condition as described in the Countywide Transportation Plan calls for a limited-access, median-divided urban arterial. The proposed design implements the interim condition while enabling a future conversion to its ultimate condition.
The Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority (MWAA), Loudoun County and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) are jointly funding the project, which is being developed by VDOT.

I cant find an answer to this on other forums...
But what are the settings to get the BEST quality movie export from iMovie?
I can only manage to get a much lower quality movie, I dont understand it.
I have a 46Mb WMV movie that I converted to M4V using Video Monkey (because iMovie wont import WMV). I exported the M4V at max. quality, and although less quality than the WMV, its OK (that ends up at 156Mb).
I import that into iMove because I need to make audio adjustments. I do that. The quality of the file in iMove looks the same as the MV4.
I then export that movie. Thats when it loses even more quality. This is the bit I dont understand. Why does iMove lower the quality? I get options to choose the video size, I choose the maximum. I also exported direct to YouTube, I also tried export to QuickTime. But they all are worse than what I actually see in iMovie.
So how come I cannot export a movie at the same quality that iMovie is showing me? If I can what are the settings?
Thanks a lot

Jim Obergefell and John Arthur had been together nearly two decades when John was stricken by terminal ALS. With their union unconstitutional in Ohio, the couple turned to friends and family to fund a medical flight to Maryland, where they wed, tearfully, on the tarmac [prev.]. After John's death, however, Jim found himself embroiled in an ugly legal battle with his native state over the right to survivor status on John's death certificate -- a fight he eventually took all the way to the Supreme Court.

Eye Candy, Politics and WTF?
Dreamies. It's 1972, and affable salaryman and good husband Bill Holt quits his good job at 3M to become a musical pioneer from the comfort of his own basement. The resulting album, Dreamies, is notable for its generous and ahead-of-its-time use of sampling/plunderphonics and became a highly sought-after lost classic until its re-release this year. Bill now has his own website, also called Dreamies, where he releases Eye Candy and Politics in liberal doses.
