1) Am I right to say there are 2 copies of each images (and their thumbnails) on my server and S3?
2) What does it mean by the following?
Prepare the CDN by: . Check if some objects appear to be missing. objects from the CDN if needed. if the domain name of your site has ever changed.
Is it optional?
3) Will anything go wrong if I delete images on my server to clear up spaces? (I should not touch the images in on S3 of course, if I ever mess them up, I can be responsible for that :D)

There are some potential hazards to going to church. The first is thinking God must be pleased just because we show up.
Did you know that it is possible to walk in and out of the doors of the church on Sunday and be no closer in a relationship with God than you would have been if you had stayed home?
A second potential hazard would be about guilt. I have actually met people who equate going to church and feeling guilty with a spiritual experience. How sad. Showing up doesn't make you a better person. Feeling bad does nothing to improve your relationship with God.

text: I have an odd issue. I know there is the WSOD but this is a little different. I notice that when I try to save some changes, like a saving a new password for a user, once I click save I get a white screen. Same thing happens when I do things like clearing cache too (using WT3C). Any suggestions? I have tried reinstalling wordpress and trying to disable my plugins folder causes the site to go down. I tried disabling anything one by one (anything new or updated recently) but that doesn't seem to fix it. Any clues?

Does anyone know why a VPN connection might interfere with Apple's Bonjour? I've noticed that my Mac and various iDevices have trouble finding each other on my local network, when I have VPN connections open. Things like Home Sharing and Wi-Fi Sync work some of the time, but sometimes fail to find the other device.
The VPN connections are made using IPSecuritas, which is a GUI around raccoon. I have the local "endpoint mode" set to Host.
Apple mentions that Home Sharing may conflict with VPNs, but they don't specify why, or how to fix it.
I'm using a Mac with OS 10.7.3 and IPSecuritas to connect to the VPN, an iPhone, and an iPad.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

At San Diego Comic-Con International this weekend, Top Cow Productions announced that screenwriter Holly Brix (âThe Butterfly Effect 3â) and director Ryuhei Kitamura (âThe Midnight Meat Trainâ) are officially signed on for the âMagdalenaâ feature film, based on the Top Cow character. To learn more about the project, CBR News sat down with the pair for this exclusive interview.
âI met [Top Cow President] Matt Hawkins few years ago and we've been talking about doing something together,â Kitamura told CBR. âHe thought I'm the perfect director for âMagdalenaâ and gave me the comics and the treatment. I read it and loved it. We had couple meetings and felt that we are on same page and have high goals to make this movie great.â
âMagdalenaâ will be Kitamuraâs second feature film in America, where he begins again after a celebrated directing career in Japan. âI'm still a newcomer in Hollywood. I gave up all my success in Japan to be here and there's no turning back,â he said. âMy first American movie, âThe Midnight Meat Train,â was a test for me. Even though I made lots of movies in Japan it really didn't matter in Hollywood. I was new guy in town and I knew I had to prove what I could do under any circumstances. It wasn't an easy experience but I did my best and I am proud of the movie.
âAfter âThe Midnight Meat Train,â I knew I had to find the project where I can really show my ability. I didn't want to do the same type of movie and repeat myself. Now, thanks to Matt Hawkins, I finally found the project where I can do what I'm great at: action.â
Joining Kitamura will be Holly Brix, screenwriter and self-professed fan of Magdalena. âI got involved with âMagdalenaâ when [production company] Valhalla brought it to me last year,â she told CBR. âSeveral of the [comic bookâs] storylines have been incorporated into the script â there are a lot of storylines in the source material. The challenge was in picking which ones to use to shape a cinematic through-line.â
Kitamura, sharing Brixâs enthusiasm for the project, has every confidence in the film and production team. âI'm so excited to work with these great producers,â he said. âI was blown away by Holly Brix's long treatment so I have no worry for the script. Movies and comics are totally different things and it's not always easy to translate, but I will do my best to keep the spirit of the comic.
âI made movies [in Japan] like âAzumi,â âAlive,â and the superhero television show âSky Highâ based on the superhero movie, and âThe Midnight Meat Trainâ based on great Clive Barker's book. I have always tried hard not to disappoint original creator. If I make original creator unhappy then what's the point of doing it? So far Iâve only made them super happy so I will keep on doing it.â
Additionally, Kitamura is more than ready to take on the task of bringing one of genre comicsâ few female leads to the big screen. âIn Hollywood, lots of people say that female action movies donât work. I disagree,â he said. âThere were lots of female action movies that didn't work - because they were bad movies. The producers and me are ready to change the tide with âMagdalena.ââ
Along with his goals for an action-packed film, Kitamura is most excited for the fan reaction. âI will show the next level of action, but it's not only about action,â he said. âThis is a story about a girl who finds out what she really is and how to fight her own destiny. I can't wait to screen it at Comic-Con and blow the fans away.â

I have been adjusting my understanding of whats appropriate to be written (and what becomes public reading) as I spend scant time on Facebook. From our instantaneous social media, I understand that what people write, others will readily have before them to read.

Μολὼν λαβέ
I'm just one root in a grassroots organization. No one should assume that I speak for the VCDL.
I am neither an attorney-at-law nor I do play one on television or on the internet. No one should assumes my opinion is legal advice.

Even worse is the use of, "Islamist militants."
instead of, "Islamist terrorists."
"Murderers in XYZ terrorized innocents across the city. They were equipped with vehicles, communications, weapons and apparently good intel. blah, blah, blah."Gunmen in southwestern Pakistan ....
The point of the reporting should be to warn folks of the legitimate risks they face from these murderers, as well as to record for posterity what happened. But, yes, as indicated, to pick out the word "guns" and to hinge the entire story on the phrase "Gunmen did XYZ" is the dishonest stretch of the language necessary in order to twist it from a news report to a spewing of an agenda. What else is new. It's a modern "news" organization.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Same as "undocumented workers" instead of illegal aliens. Reminiscent of newspeak in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

It's all about the spin and misdirection from the real issue.
Pick yer poison, if there is political gain possible the facts will be twisted or ignored as necessary.

|[Collections] retainAll and removeAll with different equal-methods
|Sun, 13 May 2012 11:02:12 GMT
Hello! I have two lists and I want to use the methods ListUtils.retainAll and ListUtils.removeAll on them. However, I want to do this several times with comparison methods that are different from the defaul equals-method. I.e I would like to compare the elements in the two lists from several different prespectives. Consider a class Person that has the attributes firstName and lastName. I could define the equals method to say that two persons equals if they have the same first name. I could also say that they equals if they have the same full name. But what if I want to alternate? So basically what I want to do is this: List<Person> firstList; List<Person> secondList; List<Person> firstNamesThatOccurInBothLists = ListUtils.retainAll(firstList, secondList, [Third equals-comparator argument]); List<Person> fullNamesThatOccurInBothLists = ListUtils.retainAll(firstList, secondList, [Third equals-comparator argument]); Can something of this effect be done with commons collections in any way? /Ludwig

Hi there,
I have 2 questions that I hope you might be able to help me with.
1. Will this plugin work with Shopp version 1.1.9?
2. I can't actually see how to get to the plugin page. I have installed and activated the plugin (WordPress 3.5.1) but I can't see a link to it in any of the WordPress menus (e.g. Settings, Tools, stand alone menu item).

Cancer Health Center
Radiation Therapy for Cancer Pain
Radiation therapy is the use of X-rays to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation damages the genetic material of cells in the area being treated, leaving the cells unable to continue to grow. Although radiation damages normal cells as well as cancer cells, the normal cells can repair themselves. The cancer cells cannot.
Radiation is also used to control pain by destroying a growing tumor that is invading or interfering with normal tissue, such as when a tumor presses on bones, nerves, or other organs. This may be done with radiation to part of the body or, in rare cases, with radiation to the whole body. Or you may be given a shot with a radioactive medicine.
What To Expect After Treatment
Radiation therapy can reduce pain by shrinking a tumor. And for cancer that has spread to the bones, walking and moving around may be less painful.1
Why It Is Done
Radiation therapy is used to control pain when a growing tumor invades or interferes with normal tissues, such as bones, nerves, or other organs.
How Well It Works
Radiation therapy can reduce pain. Often only a single treatment is needed to relieve pain.1
Side effects are common with radiation therapy and may depend on what area of the body receives radiation. Side effects typically go away after radiation therapy is over. Side effects can include:
- Fatigue.
- Hair loss near the treated area.
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
- Loss of appetite.
- Painful urination.
- Skin darkening in the area exposed to a beam of radiation, which can be permanent.
- Sore throat (with neck or chest radiation).
- Vaginal dryness in women and erection problems in men (with pelvic radiation).
What To Think About
While radiation therapy may not cure the cancer that is causing pain, it may reduce symptoms and slow the spread of the disease.

NTPC to Sell $500 Million in Bonds
Mumbai--India's NTPC Ltd plans to raise $500 million through a dollar-denominated bond, two people familiar with the matter said, making it the latest in a long line of firms seeking to tap relatively cheap offshore funding markets.
The state-run firm--the largest coal-based power producer in the country--is likely to mandate banks for the sale over the next month after investment bankers made a series of presentations to the firm last week, the people told Dow Jones Newswires, but asked not to be named.
The firm hasn't specified what it plans to use the funds for, the people added. Recently, the company has said it plans to bid for overseas coal assets to feed its growing power production. Analysts expect it to add as much as 1,000 megawatts to its generation capacity of 33,194 MW after adding about 1,500 MW of capacity last year.
The planned deal comes as Indian firms continue to turn to offshore funding markets to escape rising borrowing costs in India, as a series of aggressive tightening steps by the central bank and tight onshore liquidity continue to push onshore debt costs higher.
Recent Indian corporate issuers in the offshore market include first-time issuer Canara Bank, the Export-Import Bank of India and Bank of Baroda.
More are likely to follow, including relatively new issuers like Syndicate Bank, IDBI Bank and Indian Overseas Bank, and more seasoned issuers such as Axis Bank Ltd and ICICI Bank Ltd, investment bankers said.
Increasingly aggressive overseas acquisition plans for power and mining firms are also likely to stoke the borrowing plans of Indian firms as they compete for increasingly scarce coal resources to feed their rapid expansion in the mining and power sectors.
This would follow a recent acquisition-linked bond deal by Reliance Industries Ltd., which raised $1.5 billion in October 2010 through a bond sale to help refinance short-term debt taken for a string of shale gas acquisitions.
Similar acquisition-linked deals could follow, as Indian conglomerates such as the Birla, Essar and Adani groups, and state-run firms, ramp up their search for coal assets.

Biotech's Paradox: A Robustly Valued, Highly Active, And Seemingly Terrible IPO Market
After five very strong years, biotech as a sector has struggled to catalyze positive investor sentiment so far for the past twelve months. In a disastrous start to the year, the NASDAQ Biotech Index shed 30% in just the first forty days. The carnage of this winter's market was captured in a Feb 2016 post. Since then, the stock market has bounced around considerably, amplified by macro volatility with #Brexit, security, and other issues, but closed the first-half of 2016 largely sideways since March.

Standing On The Shoulders Of Stem Cell Gene Therapists: History, Hyperbole And Hope For The Future
A new type of medicine was approved in Europe at the end of May that culminated from the successful convergence of two fields of science: stem cell transplantation and gene therapy. Strimvelis, a patient-specific gene-modified stem cell medicine for ADA-SCID (a fatal immunometabolic disorder similar to the bubble-boy disease), was developed by scientists at the San Raffaele Hospital and Telethon Institute (TIGET) in Milan, then later partnered with GSK. The journey took over 25 years of dedicated work from many groups and involved a pivotal trial with 12 children and their brave families. I was fortunate to be involved on the GSK side of the TIGET alliance from 2010-2015, building upon my previous experiences in gene-modified stem cells during a post-doctoral fellowship in the mid-1990s and at Chiron, which had acquired Viagene, an early gene therapy biotech. I thought it was timely to pick out a couple of observations from the development of Strimvelis to see how these might apply not only for the future of stem cell gene therapy but also be the shoulders for the adjacent CAR-T and gene editing technologies to stand on.

Life After The Street: Why Biotech Is Winning Over Wall Street Talent
About three weeks ago, I attended a dinner organized by a good friend and former sell-side competitor, Dr. Yaron Werber (CBO & CFO at Ovid Therapeutics). Attendees included about a dozen former Wall Street-ers now working in the biotech industry. We were sell-side analysts, investment bankers and hedge-fund managers, and many of us had crossed paths somehow. Some of us worked together, while others were once fierce competitors. Regardless, we all had a genuine curiosity as to why the person sitting next to us left positions on Wall Street that might pay more, provide greater visibility or continue to build on some well-established healthcare franchises on the sell-side or as investment bankers.

A Comparison and Critique of Eucalyptus, OpenNebula and Nimbus
Eucalyptus, OpenNebula and Nimbus are three major open-source cloud-computing software platforms. The overall function of these systems is to manage the provisioning of virtual machines for a cloud providing infrastructure-as-a-service. These various open-source projects provide an important alternative for those who do not wish to use a commercially provided cloud. The authors provide a comparison and analysis of each of these systems. They begin with a short summary comparing the current raw feature set of these projects. After that, they deepen the analysis by describing how these cloud management frameworks relate to the many other software components required to create a functioning cloud computing system.

Mary Davie was honored by ACT-IAC for her years of championing collaboration at GSA. (Photo: Zaid Hamid)
The General Services Administration's Mary Davie is the recipient of this year's John J. Franke Award from ACT-IAC. Davie, the assistant commissioner for the Office of Integrated Technology Services in GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, accepted the award May 19 at the Management of Change Conference in Cambridge, Md.
David McClure, associate administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies and the winner of last year's Franke Award, praised Davie for her collaborative approach, commitment to staff, and willingness to take risks. "She has always championed the improvement of government for the entire American public," he said, and "her priorities have always been about helping other agencies."
Davie, who declared herself "completely flattered and honored," has spent her entire 25-year career at GSA. Given that agency's role in supporting the rest of government, she said, "it became clear to me pretty quickly that collaboration, communication, openness is the way that it has to be to make government run more effectively."
Davie is a three-time Federal 100 winner, earning the award most recently in 2013 for her work as acting FAS commissioner.
John J. Franke was a Marine, businessman and local politician before shifting to a highly effective career in federal government service. He was a regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, assistant secretary for administration at the Education Department and then director of the Federal Quality Institute. Franke died in 1991.

It was only a matter of time before Fox decided to reboot Predator. They've already made two crossover films, and a pseduo-reboot with 2010's Predators, but this time around they're pressing the reset button for good. And while that doesn't automatically have us excited, the person pressing the reset button does: Shane Black.
Not only was Shane Black in the first Predator, but he's one of the greatest action writers and directors around. Most recently he turned Iron Man 3 into arguably the best standalone Marvel movie, but he's also been involved with so many great movies, like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, and Last Action Hero. And so we're happy to see him take on a new Predator movie.
But that's not all. Black will be writing the treatment for the movie (which is like the blueprint), which he'll then be handing off to his longtime friend Fred Dekker (Monster Squad, Night of the Creeps) to pen the actual script. Once that's all done, Black will direct.
Before everyone goes nuts at the idea of a Shane Black Predator reboot, it's worth pointing out that this is now the third big film Black has in development. He also has The Nice Guys, a '70s crime movie potentially starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, and Doc Savage, an old pulpy hero that may be played by Chris Hemsworth. Neither of those films have immediate start dates, so it's unclear if this is going to take precedent over them or what, but either way it's just exciting to see Black and Dekker finally teaming together on a project this big.

UNH Media Relations
DURHAM, N.H. -- On Saturday, Feb. 24, 2007, New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch and Iowa Gov. Chet Culver are scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., to discuss Culver's concerns about New Hampshire setting its first-in-the-nation primary ahead of Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucus.
Andrew Smith, associate research professor of political science and director of the Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire, is available to provide perspective and analysis of the meeting and situation. He is a nationally recognized expert in presidential elections, primary politics and political polls.
He can be reached at 603-862-2226 (office), 603-868-3309 (home) or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Smith can discuss a number of factors, including:
-- What Lynch actually can promise to Culver, given that New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner sets the date for the New Hampshire Presidential Primary.
-- What Gardner might do, given his commitment to protect the New Hampshire Presidential Primary and his concerns about the DNC placing Nevada's caucus ahead of New Hampshire's First-in-the-Nation Primary.
-- The fallout from the calendar front-loading this year and whether the intensity of the jockeying of states helps or hurts New Hampshire, now and in future primary seasons.

Now completely revised and updated, the classic guide that helps mothers- and fathers-to-be conceive more easily and boost the odds of a healthy pregnancy
Covering preconception and interconception (between-pregnancy) well-being for women and men, Amy Ogle and Lisa Mazzullo draw on new research from their complementary fields of expertise and reveal how good preconception health can lower the risk of pregnancy complications and improve lifelong health. Why a ninety-day guide? It takes that long for sperm to mature, and at least that much time for the prospective mother to ensure that her body becomes pregnancy-ready. In a warm, intelligent style, the authors address up-to-date topics such as age, heredity, vaccinations, supplements, and weight. In easily accessible chapters, this guide covers such topics as
• Nutrition: meal makeovers plus new facts (and fiction) about fish, omega-3s, vitamins, and herbs
• Personal readiness: how to assess emotional, financial, and physical readiness, including a preconception-friendly exercise program, plus advice for avid athletes
• Becoming an informed patient: choosing a doctor, insurance coverage, baby-friendly medications, and the latest genetic screening guidelines
• Women's health: expanded coverage of gynecologic and medical conditions affecting fertility and pregnancy (including bariatric surgery and physical disabilities), and steps to create a welcoming womb by optimizing immune health
• Environment: a roundup of environmental exposures and travel tips
• Men's health: practical lifestyle advice for men to help maximize the number and health of sperm
• Conception: clear signs that predict when to "start trying," and the truth behind common myths
• Infertility: reassuring options for reproductive assistance
• Interconception health: the best plan for pregnancy recovery, before trying for another
• Resources: questionnaires for your preconception medical visit, and charts to track fertility signs
Editorial Reviews
—Peter Bernstein, MD, MPH, Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women's Health, Director of the Fellowship Program in Maternal Fetal Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine
"Optimal preconceptional care is essential for a successful pregnancy. As Amy Ogle and Lisa Mazzullo have shown, in this beautifully executed book, there is much more to preconceptional care than folic acid supplementation. This is a comprehensive piece that synthesizes all of the important medical, dietary, and lifestyle considerations for families anticipating pregnancy. Before Your Pregnancy is a wonderful resource that I will be thrilled to share with my patients."
—Clarissa Bonanno, MD, Columbia University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
"Before Your Pregnancy is a comprehensive, refreshing, and contemporary review of the complex issues that impact women and their pregnancies. With so much misinformation concerning pregnancy now available 24/7 on the Internet and other media outlets, this book should be required reading for women planning a pregnancy and their health care providers. It is well written and evidence based and is an enjoyable and educational read. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"
—Lee P. Shulman, MD, The Anna Ross Lapham Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University
"Before Your Pregnancy will be recommended to all my fertility patients as an evidenced based, friendly, participative guide to a successful conception and healthy pregnancy. It is by far the most complete resource I have reviewed, and I am certain it will provide a great benefit to many couples and the health of their future children!"
—Judy Simon, MS, RD, CD, CHES, Fertility Nutrition Specialist, Mind Body Nutrition PLLC and University of Washington Medical Center
"I congratulate the author-clinicians for delivering this comprehensive, up-to-date, evidence-based medical guide to optimizing a couple's health in order to achieve the best possible outcome for their pregnancy. Every patient in my practice could benefit from reading this book."
—Christopher Sipe, MD, Fertility Center of Illinois
"What makes this book a standout is the encouraging tone. I have read many books about pregnancy and fertility, and this one feels like the advice that a caring, trusted friend would give you. Infertility is a stressful and emotional issue, and this book eases your mind at the same time that it arms you with the knowledge and information you need to prepare your body and mind for pregnancy. Whether you have struggled with infertility or not, Before Your Pregnancy is a valuable resource for women whose goal is to be healthy and (eventually!) pregnant."
—Margaret G.
"Finally! A comprehensive yet easy-to-read book to help women and men prepare emotionally and physically for the joy of pregnancy! I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about having a baby, including my clients who have PCOS or struggle with eating disorders and body-weight issues."
—Angela Grassi, MS, RD, LDN, co-author of The PCOS Workbook: Your Guide to Complete Physical and Emotional Health and author of The Dietitian's Guide to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
"A comprehensive and informative book serving as a knowledge source for nurse practitioners and women of childbearing age. Before Your Pregnancy is something I'll share with my graduate students."
—Janie Daddario, MSN, WHNP, Director of the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Program, Vanderbilt University School of Nursing
"Ogle, a registered dietician, exercise physiologist, and ACE-certified personal trainer, and Mazzullo, an OB-GYN, wrote the first edition of this book in 2002. Here, they present the latest information and research to help couples prepare their bodies, minds, and bank accounts for the arrival of a child. The authors begin with chapters that help couples examine their stress levels, lifestyle habits, and home and work environments. They move on to how to choose a doctor or midwife, medical conditions affecting conception, genetic factors, chronic health conditions, and things that men can do to assure conception. Good nutrition, exercise, and the right drugs and supplements are vital for both partners, the authors hold. There is also coverage of infertility issues. Appendixes offer income and expense worksheets, dietary reference intake charts, charts for tracking menstrual cycles, and resources for safety information. VERDICT An outstanding book that fills a gap in public and consumer health library collections. There are many books on pregnancy and infertility, but none addresses preparation for conception in depth as this one does."
—Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., CA, Library Journal

Read an Excerpt
It is every prospective parent 's dream to have a child who is happy,
bright,engaging,and healthy enough to experience life to its fullest.
Whether you are thinking of trying to conceive for the first time or have been down this road before,we would like to help you improve your chances of making this dream come true,just as we have for countless men and women under similar circumstances.
In fact,it was nearly a decade ago that the idea for Before Your Pregnancy
came into being.At the time,Amy,a registered dietitian,exercise physiolo-
gist,and personal trainer,was working with patients and private clients who were pregnant --with or without complications --or within a year or two of having a child.She was impressed by their motivation and surprised by the number of times she heard the remark "If only I knew then what I
know now,I 'd have taken better care of myself before I got pregnant."It got her thinking about why there wasn 't more emphasis from the medical com-
munity on health during the months before conception.After all,the scien-
tific literature was brimming with new information on ways women and men could prepare their body for conception and improve the baby 's health,actions that often only made a difference if begun one to three months before trying.Unfortunately,virtually none of this information was widely available to the general public.
Determined to get the word out,Amy wrote and produced a video and accompanying booklet entitled Before Your Pregnancy that provided precon-
ception nutritional and exercise advice.(Coincidentally,she became preg-
nant while making the video,giving her a chance to practice what she preached!)One of the professionals who vetted the text,Dr.Lisa Mazzullo,
a board-certified ob/gyn and assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecol-
ogy at Northwestern University Medical Center,happened to teach "Maybe
Baby "classes at her hospital,covering the same topic from a medical and psychological point of view.The response to the video and preconception classes was so great that we ultimately decided to pool our expertise and create the book you hold in your hands,a complete resource for couples considering having a baby.
Most preconception discussions between patients and doctors --if they occur at all --are limited to "Begin taking your folic acid,and have fun!"
The fact of the matter is,however,that there are many things you can do to improve your physical health and psychological readiness in the critical ninety-day period before conception.In this book we 'll help you to thor-
oughly assess your emotional,financial,environmental,gynecologic,ge-
netic,nutritional,and physical preparedness and provide detailed advice on how to improve in each area.If you follow our preconception guidelines,
you will also improve your odds of
*Conceiving more easily
*Conceiving a healthier baby
*Having a healthier pregnancy
*Recovering more easily in the postpartum period
*Decreasing your child 's risk for certain adult health problems
You may be wondering why certain baby-friendly actions must be im-
plemented in the months prior to conception.After all,until fertilization oc-
curs,there isn 't even a baby in the picture.Well,the egg and sperm that will eventually become that baby go through crucial genetic preparations in the weeks before conception,and you want these to occur under the best circumstances.Because genetic defects do not all occur randomly,the pros-
pect of having some control over this risk is immensely empowering.Also,
consider that most birth defects --many preventable --occur between sev-
enteen and fifty-six days after conception,often before a woman becomes aware that she is pregnant.Preconceptional readiness primes the woman 's body so the baby can thrive in those early weeks of development.Take it from us:it is also a lot easier to continue healthy habits during pregnancy and beyond if you already have them in place before you are pregnant.And eventually your children will learn the healthy habits that you,their par-
We cannot emphasize enough that the preconception actions of both partners,not solely the woman,can make a difference in the health of their future child.Ultimate success comes when you both feel equally important and act synergistically as a team.You will find a lot of information in this book to help the prospective dad become healthier,better informed,and more involved in what lies ahead.
We share your enthusiasm for wanting to make your body a safe and healthy place for your baby to thrive.
Are you planning your pregnancy several months to a year in advance,or have you already started trying?How you use this book largely depends on your personal time frame for conception.As mentioned earlier,we recom-
mend following these guidelines for at least ninety days before trying to conceive.This time frame is ultimately best for all involved in most situa-
tions,but may not be practical or necessary in all situations;we 'll make a point of noting when something should be heeded earlier or later than the ninety-day time line.Depending on what you discover from this book about your current state of preconception readiness,you may come to the conclusion that it is in your interest to postpone your plans for a few months.In the grand scheme of things,a relatively short delay is a small price to pay for improving your odds for a healthier outcome.
We 've organized this book according to how you might naturally ap-
proach preparing for pregnancy.Long before you and your partner discuss preconception readiness with a health care professional,you 'll determine whether you 're mentally and financially ready to welcome a new being into your life.At the same time,you may start looking at your lifestyle habits
(e.g.,smoking,drinking)and your home and away-from-home environ-
ments with questions of wholesomeness and safety in mind.After these initial considerations,we get to the heart of preconception medicine,nutri-
tion,and fitness for women and men.Finally,the last chapter,"Romancing the Egg," can be referred to when you 're both ready to start trying.
Before Your Pregnancy is meant to be an interactive book.We encourage you to write in the blank spaces,margins,and charts.Highlight pertinent advice with a pen or colored marker.Approach this as you would a delec-
table barbecue dinner:you cannot thoroughly enjoy the meal if you and your napkin remain spotless.
To further encourage you to participate in the learning process we fea-
ture exercises called Practical Applications. As the term suggests,these typi-
cally take the topic under discussion into your own specific circumstances.
For example,in the section on women 's medical issues,one Practical Appli-
cation is to look in your medicine cabinet and write down all the medica-
tions,herbs,and supplements you find,familiarize yourself with what we recommend about them,and note which ones you should ask your physi-
cian about.
Some of the recommendations for prepregnancy are also applicable later on,often for completely different reasons.When that is the case,you will see boxes titled For Future Reference with symbols such as ________when the reference is to pregnancy,_________when the reference is to infant care,and _________for family life with children .These are for all of you information packrats to tuck in the back of your mind for future use during the pregnancy and postpartum period.If you are the type who was driven crazy in school by a teacher who periodically went off on tangents,feel free to ignore these little factoids!
This book will also help you become a more active participant in your health care.It will assist you in organizing any questions you may have for your doctor and help to clarify what he or she is telling you.That way you can make the best use of your appointment time and will be less likely to walk out of the office saying,"Oh,I wish I had asked her about x ,y ,and z ."
As you put our guidelines into action remember that the practice of precon-
ception care is much newer than the well-established practice of prenatal
(during pregnancy)care --so new,in fact,that you may periodically be faced with skepticism from your family,friends,and even some health care workers.Your partner may question the necessity of it.Don 't be swayed or discouraged if people say that couples have been having healthy babies for hundreds of thousands of years,and very few of them did anything to plan ahead for conception.Or if they point out that there are women who abuse their body with drugs and an unhealthy lifestyle and then have healthy ba-
bies despite it all.It 's true that women give birth to healthy babies under less than ideal circumstances --thank goodness for this general resiliency!
Even so,preconception planning does improve one 's overall odds for giving a baby a head start from the very moment of conception.The particulars of how and how much it helps will vary among individuals.
Occasionally we encounter a prospective parent who finds the thought of planning for pregnancy unappealing because of religious or cultural be-
liefs.Or you and your partner may prefer to be spontaneous and just see what happens.However,the words "planning "and "spontaneity "are not diametrically opposed.Although some couples will meticulously plan to
"start trying,"true preconception readiness is a lifestyle practice in case preg-
nancy should occur .Considering that almost half of all pregnancies are un-
planned,this type of general prepregnancy readiness is a good idea for any couple of childbearing age.Following these guidelines will mean that you and your partners body will be optimally ready to create a baby at any time,
whether you intend to become pregnant or not.
Over the course of our careers we have counseled thousands of couples who,like you,are planning to start trying to get pregnant.Their experiences have inspired the many scenarios we have created to illustrate the informa-
tion in this book.In addition,many experts outside our respective fields --
psychologists,social workers,financial planners,public health advocates,
geneticists,urologists/male infertility specialists,and herbal researchers --
have generously shared their knowledge with us to make this book as complete a resource as possible.We extend our gratitude to all who have contributed to our understanding of what it means to want a child and to selflessly act in his or her favor before conception.We thank you,too,for caring enough to learn,as we have.

This book was perfect for my husband and I. We have been wanting a baby for quite some time and were not sure we were prepared mentally, physically, and financially. This book helped to ease some minor worries and clear up issues that were in question. This was a great motivator to get healthy first and it even provides a 14 step pregnancy fitness program! I loved it!
With so many books out there about actual pregnancy, it was so nice to find a book devoted to telling would-be-parents what to do to get physically and mentally ready before pregnancy. I was concerned about my weight prior to conception and this book provided valuable information on pre-conception nutrition and fitness for both men and women. Friends of mine who have made the extra effort to get healthy prior to conceiving have had stress-free pregnancies. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about getting pregnant.
I was getting ready for my first pregnancy and picked up 4 different books on pre-pregnancy advice. This one was by far the most comprehensive and complete one of them. I still refer to it almost daily. It doesn't talk to you like you're a moron who can't keep their attention in one place unless there're stupid jokes involved like with the "what to expect" books. Loved the section on nutrition and vitamins. Really needed that kind of complete reference as to minimum requirements and toxicity levels of all the vitamins and minerals. This is a must buy, along with the book by Lee
From the first chapter, which focuses on how to choose medical insurance, to the chapter on how to choose meals which encompass the basic food groups, this book was chock full of infomation that your average person probably already knows. Most of the information provided was common sense: quit smoking, quit drinking alcohol, lose weight if your overweight, don't use illegal drugs, ect... . I skimmed most of this book. There are some helpful chapters such as what OTC and herbal drugs are ok to use before and during pregnancy, but the bulk of this book is information which any person who is thinking of conceiving 'should' already know.
I really enjoyed this book and have read it a couple of times now. I've been following alot of the tips and advice that are in the book and now I feel more confident that I am ready to have a baby. I would recommend.
This book was helpful but mostly common sense. I liked the nutrition advice. As with most pre-preganacy advice, so many things are restricted. This can be hard if you are having a hard time getting pregnant -- so many months of so many restrictions!
Recently my Husband and I decided we are going to start trying to conceive this summer 2003. I was looking for a book to help me get my Body ready for Pregnancy. This book has all the information you will ever need. In even has a section for the Men. My Husband read it and thought it was great.
Very good and interesting book! Highlights all parts and talks about what men can do also to plan for a baby! Has a lot of great information in it!

How do you call the email signup for the mailing-list plugin by Gerard?
How do you call the email signup for the mailing-list plugin by Gerard?
There is a file : subscribe.php.
It send a confirmation email to the subscribers.
hi!.. but how can you create a page for the subscription or how is the process, I don't have enough info about it, so pls, if you can help me. Because I tried but it shows the form but with the template..
and also I made some tests, but only sent the email to the admin account :s
You can consider using this plugin which allows you to just email your blog subscribers : http://www.vincentprat.info/wordpress/2006/04/19/email-users/
Definitive URL : http://www.vincentprat.info/wordpress/category/coding/email-users/
I have the same question as sharkweb: How do you call the subscribe page? Like I have links on my blog under pages, right now I have the About page and an Amazon wishlist page. When I set up the amazon wishlist, I was able to pull down the wishlist template on the right (in the admin page creation area). Is this how it is supposed to work with Mailing List plugin? The site is in french and I can't find any documentation anywhere about this. The plugin is installed and activated, and seems to be functional, and if I go directly to the subscribe.php page you can see the subscribe form. (although the template is all funky right now)
Link to page: http://sayshea.com/blog/subscribe.php
See in my sidebar, the link does not work?
The plugin vprat suggested won't work for me because I need to send html email. What I'd really need is a newsletter plugin that allows me to create a newsletter template, and then feed in the last 5 posts, and automatically send to the subscribers. And need to be able to manually add subscribers. I've been trying to set up phpList (an outside application) and have it 95% the way I want it, but it won't parse the rss feed due to safe mode being turned on in my server. Since the only content for my newsletter is just going to be my blog posts I figured I'd see if I could just find something that plugged into WP instead.

God I just want to messy up his hair. Growl!
Considering the state of our nation, there's no way you can be overwrought when describing the madness.
it's a shame he panders to the o'reilly-style culture war bullshit so much. he's very articulate, but sometimes he says the most shrill, over the top, retarded shit, and of course it's the retarded shit that gets the most attention.
They put some kind of processing on his voice, an echo or something, and ramp it up during the dramatic moments. When it's done well it's very effective, but when they use a heavy hand it sounds ridiculous, like he's in a barrel or something.
Good speech though. I'm glad someone is saying "jail" in the same sentence as "Bush". Even if he is a little over the top. The O'Reilly stuff is just fun and games.
He's not over the top at all. Any American who gives a damn about the Constitution should thinking the same thing. Bush and Cheney belong in jail. Impeachment is not enough.
Chimpy McSlaughter needs to be in prison. Look around at how fucked up everything is. Honestly. There are so many outrages that one doesn't know even where to begin. Yeah, I can be over-the-top and a bit too dramatic, but DAMN. These fools have wrecked this nation.
God, when you combine yesterday's link to the Naomi Wolf essay plus today's Olbermann video, it's hard not to feel utterly helpless as this country fiddles its way into the flames. Meanwhile, Feinstein and Schumer give yet another pass to the Bush gang and Barney Frank tries to convince America that trannies don't deserve equal rights. We are truly fucked.
Fnarf, I think that noise was an artifact from whatever moron thought he could figure out how to use Compressor to encode this video. The audio quality is horrendous.
I'm getting to the point where I really would like to see this entire administration, and possibly the democrats that sit idly by, either behind bars or six feet under.
Less than a year to the next election and I still don't feel safe that it will turn out ok.
Read this article side by side with Naomi Wolf's article about 10 easy steps to a closed society and you understand why I'm not going to breathe easy in a year just because we elect someone new- I'm going to be on pins and needles until the Chimperor leaves office without a coup- And I'm not shrill conspiracy nut but the writing is on the wall- he's only playing dumb.
441 days, 23 hours, 18 minutes and 15...13...11...09
ITMFA, and then send him & co. to prison. When is enough too much?
I just sent a e-mail regarding this to Maria Cantwell. I guess it's a start, but I can't help but feel a little impotent doing that...
What do I do next?? Write an actual letter to her & Patty Murray? Go out & protest?
I jus' want to scream: Impeach this Motherfucker now!
Olbermann is shaping up to be our generation's Edward R. Murrow. More power to him.
Do not impeach this motherfucker. Even if there was enough time and support, impeaching and removing Bush puts Cheney officially in the driver seat. Let's not do that.
Okay, also I know it is intended probably as motivating rhetoric - but as a non-American (Canadian in fact) all this BS about America(ns) being "better than that" etc. really makes me crazy. All of this, the last 7 years prove that Americans are patently NOT better than that. I mean seriously, if it was any other country the UN would be supervising US elections already. So why don't people like Olbermann get off their high horses and argue for what is right based on it being right and leave off this stupid "we are better than everyone else" rhetoric?
You know how Schmader occasionally complains about Molly Shen's yamminess? It seems that Olbermann is suffering from the same condition: the yamminess, not the complaining.
@ 12:
I agree. Murrow was god-like; Olberman isn't there yet, but give the boy time.
@ 14:
the last 7 years prove that Americans are patently NOT better than that
You make Keith's point for him here. We WERE better than that. It's just since Chimpy McWarmonger that we've been circling the drain. Olberman doesn't say we're better than everyone else, he says we're better than THAT--"that" being Chimpy and company. And we are.
ITMFA, to borrow one of Dan's campaigns.
We're not better than the rest of the world, we just need to have some kind of moral compass in the Oval Office that works and doesn't mispronounce words like "nuclear." My god, how many brain cells does it take to pronounce a word right?
This period in history will indeed be looked back on with, at the very least, shame and embarrassment.
Rightly so.

iPod problem
planbskater posted on Dec 09, 2010 6:05:52 PM - Report post
No matter what headphones i use with my iPod, they stop working. Literally as soon as i put them in, one stops working, and the other soon after. Skullcandies, random headphones, etc it doesn't matter. My iPod ****s them up. It's getting annoying having to keep buying headphones. Before I take it to the Apple store, does anyone know why it might be like that?
And it might sound funny, but I would buy a O-Z just to get you in my bedroom.
Neo7 posted on Dec 09, 2010 6:34:09 PM - Report post
What's the life span of your headphones and what quality are them (are they standard 10 dollar headphones or high-end expensive ones)?
Your bitterness, I will dispel
planbskater posted on Dec 09, 2010 6:54:00 PM - Report post
I had regular Skullcandy ones ($30+) that lasted a few weeks. I only buy random cheap ones now, because they're going to stop working sometime anyway. My newest ones lasted a day and a half.

A classification of assembly line balancing problems
Assembly lines are special flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Recently, assembly lines even gained importance in low volume production of customized products (mass-customization). Due to high capital requirements when installing or redesigning a line, its configuration planning is of great relevance for practitioners. Accordingly, this attracted attention of plenty researchers, who tried to support real-world configuration planning by suited optimization models (assembly line balancing problems). In spite of the enormous academic effort in assembly line balancing, there remains a considerable gap between requirements of real configuration problems and the status of research. To ease communication between researchers and practitioners, we provide a classification scheme of assembly line balancing. This is a valuable step in identifying remaining research challenges which might contribute to closing the gap.
