The true cost of the 'Microsoft support' scam call
Have you been called by bogus Microsoft support scammers? We've heard from readers who've been conned into paying hundreds after falling victim. We've spoken to Microsoft to find out the scale of the scam.
The phone rings and there's a voice on the line telling you they're aware you're having computer problems, but not to worry – they're with Microsoft, and they're here to help. It's a complete lie, and the opening gambit of an all-too-successful scam.
The person on the end of the line has no idea how your PC has been behaving lately. And they're certainly nothing to do with Microsoft. They're just after your cash.
These 'tech support' scammers will typically ask for remote access to your PC. They may then infect it with malware that could lift credit card details from your computer. Or they could simply charge you through the nose for PC 'support' that you never even needed.
Conned out of hundreds
Which? member Walter was conned out of £130 by a company claiming to work with Microsoft. Not only was he convinced to buy a £59 subscription, Walter was forced to pay a further £70 to have his computer fixed by a professional after the cold callers made his computer almost unusable. Action Fraud confirmed Walter was a victim of a scam and after Which? intervened on his behalf, his bank refunded the full £130.
Walter still gets cold calls from time to time, but now he doesn't hold back:
'The last time they called, I gave them a piece of my mind. It gave me the chance to inform them about the damage they had done to my computer and the cost of fixing it, which I must say made me feel a bit better.'
Scale of the 'tech support' scam
The scale of this scam call, which has been doing the rounds for nearly three years, is staggering. According to figures from Microsoft, one in five people surveyed in the UK had received one of these scam calls since 2010. Of those who have received a call:
- Over a third said the caller tried to sell them something.
- Over a fifth were asked to permit the caller remote access rights to their computer.
- Over a fifth were asked to download some software.
- And 18% were asked outright for credit card information.
According to Microsoft, half of the victims were aged 55 years or over, and the average amount lost has been a painful £745. Stuart Aston, Microsoft's chief security advisor, told us:
'It's a dreadful crime. It targets vulnerable, often elderly people, and it can cost them a large amount of money. It's a huge loss for the individual victim, but added up, thousands of successful scams like this can reap a small fortune for the criminals behind them.'
And Aston's no stranger to the calls himself: 'Somebody even called me once on my work phone here at Microsoft, claiming they were from the Windows support team.'
What's Microsoft doing about the scam?
Microsoft's working alongside international police agencies to tackle the scammers directly, but progress has been difficult. Many of the call centres are based overseas, and they change their names and tactics frequently.
At Which?, we're campaigning to cut down nuisance calls and texts. However, this scam is more than a nuisance – it's a criminal issue. Microsoft should continue raising awareness and working with police in order to stamp this scam out once and for all. And if you think you've been a victim of one of these tech support scam calls, run a virus scan, alert your bank and contact Action Fraud to report the scam.

"I had been attempting to transfer funds to a mob in India called PC HELP CARE"
Why would you want to pay an Indian company to fix your pc and give it breakdown cover? You don't get any help from Trading Standards and the Citizens Advice Bureau if something goes wrong, and if you don't use your credit card to pay, you can't get your money back if it turns out to be a scam.
For $600, you can get years of warranty cover from places like PC World, Currys and John Lewis.
PC World did poorly in a Which? survey on computer repairs: http://conversation.which.co.uk/technology/high-street-pc-repairs-poor/
Currys is part of the same group, which does not have a good reputation for customer service. You might be best to try Which? Local or try fixing problems yourself.
If anyone wants to fix it themselves, they should read hexus.net, hardocp.com and post to the forums there for advice.
I have been contacted by a man from http://www.myonlinepccare.com. He said I owe him $149.00 for 10 years tech support 2 printers and a scanner support! I was thinking that it was BS!! Please tell me that it is! Thank you, Shawn Stopper

I was chatting to a very spirited 90-year old lady, who, like the rest of us is sick of the Microsoft scam calls. She told the caller she was glad he had called as her computer was indeed playing up. (This was not true.) He got very excited and asked her for her password. She then proceeded to spell out slowly and in a mock doddery voice a very rude word starting with F and ending with the word "off." He slammed the phone down. It hasn't stopped the calls but it made her day!
I received another one of these calls this morning just before 10am, this time I hung up,
but when I called 1472 I discovered he had failed to hide his phone number.
With the hope that you can use it I am giving you the number that called me.
I am sick and tire arguing with the people who call my number telling me Microsoft has informed them that I have a problem with my computer.
I was nearly sucked into one of these Microsoft Support Team scams at around 7.00 on Sat. evening. My reflections are thus:-
Microsoft will never call you 'out of the blue' (they don't care enough).
Even if you try to check their identity by phoning the number they've given you, beware of not getting a ringing tone. It means they've not ended the call and you're not dialling the number you think you are…
Never allow anyone to remotely access your computer until you're absolutely sure they are legitimate. I did and found neither of my banks ran a 24 hour emergency line that enabled me to freeze my online banking accounts.
I was lucky but one tip I've learnt since:- if you can't contact your bank over the weekend and are worried – access it online, put in three false passwords and your account will automatically freeze until you contact the bank directly by phone or via your local branch. Had I known this beforehand, it would have saved me a lot of anxiety…
I suffered the microsoft scam , but realized what was happening when the Indian caller deleted my password when they had access to my computer. I allowed them access as I have done so in the past when talking to Microsoft help site. These are usually Indian people and I was momentarily fooled. I stopped them before they could do too much damage, but could not work my computer and had to pay a specialist to fix it for me, I also had to change my passwords and inform my bank. I phoned the police but they said they could do nothing!
The absolute cheek of the caller kept phoning me to continue the scam, I was very angry and accused them of infecting my computer as they said no it was someone else not them!!!
I had another one of these calls.
This time I was prepared with my Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard.
I had a bit of fun with him before he hung up after about 3 minutes.
Here is the 'conversation' on YouTube:
or just search in YouTube for 02030259569
I had another one of these calls.
An Indian chap called "Steve Johnson" called me to "fix" my computer.
Here's how I dealt with him:
Go to YouTube and search for 02030259569
Oh dear i've had one of these calls and did allow them access to my PC remotely – as i had just sent a report to ms re: faults on my PC and then was called an hour later so presumed it was legit! However i didn't fill out any forms or give them access to passwords etc… do i need to be worried and change any details or look for anything suspicious do you think??
I got snookered for $240 and now don't know if my computer is secure. Should have just gone down to staples and bought a $350. lap top and a virus protection. This all started when I bought a Toshiba that offered a 90 day Norton free trial. I contacted Norton and explained that I already have a Norton annual subscription that is automatically debited to my account each year and that I wanted to apply the program to the new computer and they agreed to do so. 90 days later, without my knowledge, Norton was discontinued although the subscription was fully paid. Next thing I knew, computer was all screwed up with viruses and malware. Apparently cannot win. Edd
Received a call from click4protect who told me that my Kapersky virus protection was not compatable with windows 7. offered to show me all the virus' and malware that has infected my computer and stated that it was not safe or secure to use my computer. Then, offered to clean my computer and give me a lifetime of protection for a one time fee of $240. What now?
What action should I take now to fix situation? Any suggestions? Edd
Ok, so you let them take control of your pc?
Hi Edd, sorry for the delay. We have some guides that might help: http://www.which.co.uk/technology/computing/guides/pc-security-troubleshooting/i-think-ive-been-hacked/
I am still receiving calls from these b******* offering the same deal,,,I reckon I get at least one a week. I am starting to have fun with them.
One Indian called and said his name was Mark Wilson. I asked him where he was ringing from? He said Melbourne. I asked him how he got into work today with the TRANSPORT STRIKE (there was no strike)…I rode in on my bike…"In all that rain and hail, you must have got drenched"
Where is your office? "Down by the River"…What's the name of the River? "Victoria"….(everyone knows the Yarra flows through Melbourne…because it is upside down…:lol:.
I told him to get a fair dinkum job and to p*** Orf…He hung up on me…..
I know how you feel…in am in the UK so told the bloke to pee up his back and play with the steam…….then I had a woman……………..I have a very powerful gadget that i now keep by the phone……it almost takes your eardrums out ,,,,,they don't come back to often for that one……………………………..its getting less……….for someone in their 80′s it ain't funny………………………………..
[This comment has been edited for breaking our guidelines. Thanks, mods.]
Parra and Jean – I can understand your frustration, but please try to mind your language!
Some good news for once …
I too have bgeen the victim of click4 protect.they told me I had been hacked and brought up pornographic pictures on my screen which they said had been put there by Hackers and to remove them and prevent it happening again I must buy there software. I told them to get lost & hung up only to find my computer had been vandalised. I reportedit to the Police but they were'nt interested.later I found they had down loaded a load of icons titled "Hacked".surely if money is being sent to these people the police must be able to trace it.
I have reeived a scam call 5 minutes ago but played along with it for a short time.
they did not withold their number which was 005924286651.
The guy from india said he was rocco anderson from windows technical support department and that i have a serious virus on my computer and i need to switch it on. It was already on so i played along which cost him nearly ten mins.
I was directed into the dos screen and told to enter 'assoc' at which point I'd had enough. I pointed out that he was a scammer and then I was rude, foul and talked to him in his own language and accent.
He took it not wery well and told me he would file a law complaint and infect my computer.
My next reply cannot be printed so imagination time!
He cut off.
5 minutes later i had another call, witheld number, from somebody else.
Did not go down very well.
I can find anywhere to report these numbers to microsoft so if anybody here knows of how to report them please let me know.
Microsoft don't seem too bothered about these calls. You're best bet is to report then to Action Fraud as they're basically committing fraud, just don't hold your breath, they seem powerless to do anything about it
Microsoft can't actually do anything as they have nothing to do with the people committing the fraud. The only answer is to put the phone down because Microsoft don't contact people this way
I think I've just been scammed by these guys. I paid £270 three times over, via three different methods. First it was via the bank when they installed MS software for protection on my computer. They rang about 10 days later saying I needed network protection on top of that, which would simply require renewing the contract and refunding my first payment.
The second payment was via Ukash, so as to avoid details being compromised on the network. The next day, they called again to finish the work and said the Ukash system had failed and I'd be refunded again.
After walking two miles to and from a Western Union payment point, I paid a further £270 to India.
I was starting to doubt the legitimacy of this thing and when they then said it would be another £300 deposit to confirm it was me, I stopped using them. I don't know what to do now. They did install anti-malware software and such.
For good measure, the number was 0280714, the man who received the money was Arjun Sharma. When I ring the number, it is not recognised.
I suggest installing and running Malwarebytes to check what they've installed on your computer as what they have installed may be spyware or malware. Malwarebytes offers a free version and is very reliable, when I first installed it it picked up and cleared a load of malware off my computer. Bought anti-malware programs don't cost £100, my bought version of Malwarebytes was around £30.
Also change all your passwords.
Well I sympathise with you. It sounds like you have paid out £540 to these scammers. It is very unlikely you will ever see a penny again. You could have bought yourself a nice new computer for this money.
The sugestion to download and scan with Malwarebytes is a good one. Download FREE version then install and run a full scan which may take some time. It will no doubt pick up some infections which you can then get it to delete. You can download Malwarebytes from this address which you will probably have to copy and paste into the address bar of your browser (I don't think Which Conversation supports embedded links)
What a strange world it is, just as I have been typing this I was called by an asian gentleman who said he was from Windows and they had a duty to tell me that my pc is heavily infected. We had a short but interesting conversation about his scamming. He abruptly rang off when I told him I am an IT manager!!!
There is a simple formula that is 100% correct for ALL cold calls (Computer Service calls, Road Traffic Accident calls, Survey calls, etc):
Indian Accent = SCAMMER
No, I'm not racist. That is a fact.
I cannot believe people still fall for these.
Scam Baiter ; "Indian Accent = SCAMMER", that;'s not strictly speaking true.,
The problem is too many UK based companies have outsourced their call centres to India etc,
iirc companies lie BT, Virgin Media, Ideal World all use them or have used them.
I had a call yesterday and the very english speaking lady assured me she was calling from the London Advisory Board, the fact I knew she wasn't , they have a warning on their website about people calling claiming to be them. She was still assuring me even after giving me a none london number to call back on.
My simple formula is 100% of calls are potentially scammers, so unless you recognise the voice of the caller ( e.g your mum,dad, wife husband, partner, son daughter etc) make them jump through hoops to prove who they say they are. If they're genuine they should be grateful that they're made to do that as it proves your careful who you give your details too.
"I cannot believe people still fall for these." Sadly I have to agree with you on that
It was reported on the BBC yesterday that over £650k had been scammed from people by rogues claiming to be from their bank.
Have a read of this website….
I am getting fed up of all these calls i have had 3 in 2 days. Does anyone know how to block these calls without blocking all withheld numbers?
Ive had countless calls from the supposed "Windows Technical Support" and ive just hung up. Over the last 2 days i have had a total of 11 calls which i call a total nuisance but despite telling them that i was not interested they persist in calling. Surely there must be a way of blocking these presisent nuisance calls!

If you want to organize a birthday party for your kid, family gathering or any event of any kind, having bounce houses is a great addition for the party to make it more fun and enjoyable. This will easily grab each child's attention making it easier for you to look after them since they are just all in one place jumping around and playing with other kids.
Miami has several bounce house rentals that can offer you great deals for party packages especially for kid's birthday parties. With the wide range of selections for bounce houses to choose from, you can never run out of choices and be able to select which design suits the theme of the party.
Inflatable bounce houses are guaranteed safe since it is specifically designed for children to use. However, for unexpected events, accidents do happen. In order to prevent this, it is very important to follow the safety rules and precautions that are provided by the bounce house rentals to ensure the safety of everyone while having fun in the event. There are several lists of safety tips that you can follow to prevent any accidents from happening.
- Limit the weight
Watching the kids jumping and bouncing inside the bounce houses provides you simple fun and excitement that you even think of joining them too. However, an additional weight of an adult can damage the bounce house putting everyone at risk for injury since bounce houses are specifically designed only for kids to play with.
- Supervision of an adult
To ensure the safety of everyone inside the inflatable bounce house, make sure there is always at least one adult to look after the children. Since everyone inside is jumping up and down and bouncing around, there might be a slight chance of kids bumping and hurting each other. To prevent this, someone should always be there to check them during the duration of the party. Miami bounce house party rentals are providing bounce house attendants but this will come with an additional service fee.
- Over populated
There are always restrictions and limitations with the use of inflatable bounce houses just like with any other kiddy rides out there. If the bounce house is too congested, the weight might damage the bounce house putting everyone at high risk for injury. Make sure you limit the number of children going inside the bounce house to ensure their safety.
Miami bounce house rentals is definitely a must for a kid's birthday party as it provides a unique level of entertainment for the children and for the parents as well. But as mentioned above, you always have to follow strict safety rules and precautions to prevent any accidents from happening.

Apparently this will be Jackie's last action movie.
Everybody has something in their past that's weird or embarrassing.
Jackie Chan tells the story about the time when he was a young actor and his idol, Bruce Lee, accidentally struck him in the head during the filming of Enter the Dragon.
Action movies live or die by the "wow" factor of action sequences that can thrill audiences and leave lasting impressions.
One of the most famous—and ridiculous—aspects of Jackie Chan's career is his willingness to perform every one of his own stunts in his films.
As also noted the other day, when trading in my copy of Resident Evil 6, I put it towards Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
When an actor is older than my dad and is still doing street luge down a building, he wins forever.

Gear Review
bailey miller
favorite trucks ever
i have skated practically every truck on the market, and these are by far the best. they have the most comfortable and natural turning radius, while staying stable at speeds. They Grind very smooth, and they are also very light for being the basic truck. the only downside to thunders is that the king pin sits flush with the hanger, so it is easier to grind it down, but you are very unlikely to have problems with that.

We have so many palm fronds that we're thinking about getting a small chipper/shredder to turn them into mulch and for brown in the compost pile. Is there any reason not to do this or if there are any plants we shouldn't put it on if we do? How about areca palm trunks? We had to thin some mature trunks away from the house and utility lines recently and have a pile of long straight trunks that could be used for edging things. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds good to me ! I use everything I can scrounge together for mulch, in my rose-beds, it all breaks down and nourishes the soil... I just cut my palm-fronds with clippers in smaller pieces... if you have a chipper, maybe you could even 'chip' the trunks ? they would make good edging also,and are quite attractive ....... sally |

I did just that last season w/ a big pile of well-dried sabal palm fronds & used the mulch for my veggies. I figure it's very similar to grass or hay mulch, just a bit coarser. My little electric shredder does better w/ the dried, old fronds than the fresh 1s, tho the reverse is true w/ other woody plants. I haven't tried palm trunks for edging, but I've used other wood from trees in my yard & even the smaller ones have lasted for years now. I really like the rustic look. I'm a firm believer in using what I have - waste not, want not = ) |
Yes, use the fronds as mulch. Chip them up fine as they tend to a bit longer to break down. No, don't use the cut trunks to edge anything as they will rot away in just a few years and then you've got a mess. Plus the old trunks are a perfect medium for Gandoderma to form and that's a whole world of trouble. |
- Posted by cocoabeachlorax (My Page) on Fri, Aug 20, 10 at 13:55
I lie my fallen fronds on the ground to block weeds and allow them to decompose naturally. We do this in an area where there are no fancy beds, just wild growth along the back edge of the yard, and I have not noticed any negatives to this practice. The little lizards, snakes, and frogs seem to really appreciate the cover as well. |
- Posted by gatormomx2 9a (My Page) on Fri, Aug 20, 10 at 16:44
I had an entire dump truck of palm shreds brought here. It is much slower to decompose. The motto on the soil forum: IABCSL It all becomes compost sooner or later. It's all good. Go for it! |
Thanks for the great advice. I'm glad to be able to shred up the fronds. We'd probably have to buy a pickup truck to deal with the yard waste otherwise... it's already an intimidating pile of fronds, and we've only been in the house 6 weeks! |
- Posted by goldenpond (Vero.Beach FL 9b) (My Page) on Sat, Aug 21, 10 at 10:12
I too have palm frond mountains but am told because of their strininess machines will just get tangled. When my dad was a bit pryer and I was getting him off booze I needed to keep his hands busy, he would work diligently and be ever so proud of the buckets of mulch he chopped for me. The neighbors started to bring their fronds to him. But in his new apt he cannot be that messy so I have to deal with them on own and they sure pile up fast! tanya |
When we bought our property a year ago, I had a landscaper cut off all the dead fronds from the palms (27 Queen palms and a few Areca) and shred them so I could spread them under a big live oak. He did complain that they were really stringy and dulled the blades quickly, but the real problem is they seem to have some sort of thorns along the spines that is in the mulch, and I can't bring my garden cart over it as they puncture the tires. One afternoon all four tires went flat, and when I took out the tubes, they all had long thorns sticking out. I've probably had a dozen flats to repair, and can't bring the cart anywhere near where I do most of the gardening. I'd think twice about doing it again. |
If anyone is into basket-making, the palm is super for weavers... I used to weave baskets and palms also banana fronds are gorgeous and very durable.... the palm seed-pod stem makes a great handle..........sally |
My neighborhood is surrounded by miles of marsh and swamp, much of it infested with cattails. Last year I went out and sickled a huge load of cattail stalks, brought them home and chopped it up and applied it to my vegetable garden as mulch. It worked great until it got windy and blew my cattail pieces out of the garden and all over the yard. Apparently, after the moisture dries out of the cattail pieces, they become very lightweight, just waiting for the next breeze to begin their new journey. Oh well, live and learn! |

deficit financing
deficit financing
In government, the practice of spending more money than is received as revenue, the difference being made up by borrowing or minting new funds. The term usually refers to a conscious attempt to stimulate the economy by lowering tax rates or increasing government expenditures. Critics of deficit financing regularly denounce it as an example of shortsighted government policy. Advocates argue that it can be used successfully in response to a recession or depression, proposing that the ideal of an annually balanced budget should give way to that of a budget balanced over the span of a business cycle. See also John Maynard Keynes; national debt.

Jennings went down hard and was clutching at the back of his left ankle. He will undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury.

Batum suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly during Portland's game against the Bucks. He has re-aggravated it on and off over the past month, typically when he falls on the court. It is unknown how long this will keep Batum out of the lineup.

It was Wall's first 20-plus point game in his last five outings and first without double digit assists in his last three. He and the Wizards will look to bounce back Sunday against the Nuggets.

It was Aldridge's first game back on the court since suffering a torn tendon in his thumb earlier in the week. He grabbed nine rebounds and dished out three assists.
"My idea now is to play the rest of the season," he said before the game. "But if it gets too much where I can't handle it or I'm not playing at a very good level then I'll stop. But hopefully it goes well for us."

"I was locked in from the start and I was looking at ways to attack the defense before I even got out there," Burke said.
Coach Quin Snyder said he was able to anchor the defense well Saturday.
"He is one of the guys that's finding a good balance between scoring and playmaking," Snyder said. "The other thing I thought he did is he guarded. When your point guard is at the point of the attack, is tough-minded defensively and willing to talk, that anchors your whole defense."
In two straight games coming off the bench, Burke is averaging 14.5 points 2.5 assists and two rebounds.
by Brandon Wise | CBSSports.com
Grant also shot 2 of 4 from 3-point range and 4 of 8 from the free throw line in 26 minutes. Coach Brett Brown is liking what he is seeing from the rookie.
"(He's) our poster child at the moment. Jerami's work ethic and the fact he's getting minutes is helping him grow as a player," Brown said.

"It was very shocking," Joe Johnson said, "because I've honestly never heard of athletes, especially when you are working out and training hard every day, catching blood clots.
"It's random and just to hear that and then hear some of the things that he said over the course of the past week of so about how he can't breathe. … It's kind of scary."
Bojan Bogdanovic, who grew up in the same town as Teltovic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, knew he had some issues, but not to this extent.
"It surprised me a lot because I knew he had some problems, but he told me that he wasn't in good shape and he told me that's the problem," Bogdanovic said. "But at the end [of the day], it's a big problem for him and for us."
Teletovic averaged 8.5 points and 4.9 rebounds this season for Brooklyn.

"Just to know I can come in help a team win games, that is something you can't teach," Roberts said. "Just have experience that I was fortunate enough to have last year. And it looks like I'm going to have to do that a little bit here."
Roberts added three rebounds and dished out three assists on the night.
"One of the advantage of bringing him here was that he started so many games last year so he's comfortable in that role," Hornets coach Steve Clifford said.
by Brandon Wise | CBSSports.com
Hayward also did well on the glass, grabbing four rebounds as well as dishing out three assists. He also tallied three steals for Utah. It was his second consecutive game with 24 points after not reaching 20 in his previous two games.

National Federation of Independent Business
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is a lobbying organization with offices in Washington, D.C. USA, and in all 50 state capitals. NFIB claims a membership base in excess of 600,000.
NFIB was founded by Wilson Harder in 1943 and maintained its headquarters in San Mateo, California until 1992 when it was re-located to Nashville, Tennessee.
NFIB's lobbying efforts are focused on the impact of current and proposed legislation on small and independent businesses, and professional practices at all levels of government, but primarily at the federal and state levels.
Beginning in its earliest history, NFIB's positions were determined by a polling of its membership. Periodic ballots (referred to as Mandates) were mailed to its members who then had an opportunity to vote their opinions on the questions presented. Once the votes were tallied, the majority position became NFIB's position.
In recent years NFIB has supported such items as tort reform, repeal of the estate tax, reduction of governmental paperwork, and creation of affordable health insurance plans – by allowing small business to pool resources.
Ballot measures the NFIB has taken a position on
- Arizona Sales Tax Increase, Proposition 100 (May 2010) (opposed)
- Arizona Health Insurance Reform Amendment, Proposition 106 (2010) (majority opposes)
- Arizona Save Our Secret Ballot Amendment, Proposition 113 (2010) (supported)

Diced Green ChiliesHere is a bit of a diversion from cast iron, although there are ways to do this with cast iron. I ended up somehow with a mini mountain of Anaheim peppers. Typically my family abhors anything with the word "pepper" in it, but we will eat the canned diced green chilies. I researched this and I am pretty sure that these are the peppers in the grocery store variety said chilies. If I am wrong,

It'll be a trial by fire — but the Collins brothers think they can pull it off.
Chris Collins and his brother, Jack Collins Jr., have been in the dog-racing business since the 1980s — the Collins family has owned the Sarasota Kennel Club since 1944. But recently, the boys decided to try their hand at another facet of the racing arena — boats.
A few years ago, Chris Collins bought a white 30-foot Phantom boat from Will Smith, of Phantom Boats. Even with a 600-horsepower Big Block Merlin engine, Chris Collins never raced it.
"We didn't think Chris was using it as much as he should, so we captured it off the lift and towed it back," said Jack Collins Jr. "Will got it up and ready to go, and now it's doing what it was meant to be doing."
The once-white boat has been painted with a sunny yellow-and-red wrapping of dogs, poker chips and cards, courtesy of Cheryl Iorio, of Pro Marine.
"It was solid white with nothing until a week ago," said Jack Collins Jr. "We thought it would be good advertising for the track, so now it's got color and greyhounds."
Phantom boats have won numerous national championships for their speed, setting the Kilo record at least five times. Smith says this particular style of boat has never been flipped, even though it's had plenty of opportunities, and that's one record the brothers aren't trying to break.
"It's a safe and reliable boat," Smith said. "But it's also a very fast boat. We will be doing our best to maintain the speed limit because, if not, we'll be kicked to the back."
Chris Collins is more concerned with having fun than anything else.
"We'll have a good time, learn and get home safe," Chris Collins said. "We'll get the feel of what it's like to be in a competitive race. It will last a lot longer than dog racing."
The Collins' little ones are excited for their dads to race, too.
"We did a mock race on Sunday," Jack Collins Jr said. "I was in my Scarab boat with my 5-year-old, Noah, and my 4-year-old, Dallas. Chris and Will were in his boat, and I took a huge headstart, but Chris went by us, and you would think we were on a bicycle and he was on a motorcycle."
The brothers will also have to get used to racing flair, such as safety clips, special anchors, orange flags, orange smoke and helmets — yellow helmets.
"Neither of us has ever worn helmets," Chris Collins said. "I swear I'll drown quicker in that safety equipment."
Watch the Collins brothers compete in the Suncoast Super Boat Grand Prix Sunday, July 5. Visit www.suncoastoffshore.org for more information.

In another thread Teresa (crdahlia z8bWA) said: "Another thing you can do to insure a tuber the following year is plant the tuber in a pot and then sink the pot in the ground. You will get a normal sized plant and blooms. Then, when the season is over, dig the pot and store pot and all where it won't freeze. When the tuber sprouts, you can separate into several pieces, or take cuttings. But that is another whole subject." I am very interested in trying this, and have a couple of questions: (1) what size pot? (2) one or more holes in the bottom of the pot? (3) what kind of soil do you use in the pot? (4) how do you fertilize? Thanks, Alice |
Follow-Up Postings:
Alice_ma6, 1) The bigger the better at least a gallon + - to make room for a good root system and also for tuber development. Some can get really large. 2) As many holes as possible. I take pails and drill holes in the sides near the bottom to plant my brugmansia. That way I can root prune easily and pull them out. Dahlia roots are not as large as brugmansia, so bottom holes will be okay. You still might have to dig deeply to get to the bottom of the pot. 3) Good soil with lots of nutrients. Also with good drainage. They don't like wet feet. 4) If your pot soil is good, you will need less fertilizer. I use Miracle Grow, but any balanced fertilizer is good. Personally, I don't have the space to do what you are recommending, so I clean well, dry slightly, dust with bulb dust, wrap, and store in cardboard box in my cold cellar which does not freeze. This has worked well for years. |

Margaret Jacobson, Divorce Coach
Divorce Coach
I Believe
Honor yourself. Celebrate your strength. Empower your transformation.
About Me
Creating balance in life can be tricky on the best of days. Add in the dismantling of a relationship through a separation or divorce that overlays work, family and community, possibly even an underlying health condition or infidelity/affair and the walls can feel like they are crumbling all around you. The intensity of a severing of a relationship is in a sense a forced dark night of the soul.
The logistical nightmare of divorce, legal and otherwise can be overwhelming. The demands of emotional stability that you are striving to provide for either children or your parents to secure THEIR feelings of worry about how you are doing seems more than one can bear. The subtle faces of depression begin to rear their ugly head: increased desire to sleep, over or under eating, stuffing the pain with pharmaceuticals, alcohol or cigarettes.
Lastly, there's the desire to confide your pain in a good friend or close community member when you come to find that all of the hard work you had done to create community is met with closed doors since no one wants to hear about your yucky break up/ separation/divorce or even continued custody and financial battles with your ex.
All of these can leave you feeling very isolated and alone, deeply sad and sometimes angry to the point of wrathful fury.
I can completely relate! After being married for seventeen years and bearing three children, I became divorced when they were ages 7,9 and 11. The process of discovering if divorce was the right choice, the pain of coming to terms with it being the correct decision and the strength it took to haul my booty out of the home that had been his family's home, having to commute 60 miles each day to see our children since I had been the stay at home Mom for over that 11 year period was brutal. My personal character was attacked non-stop through the legal battles. Through some insane circumstances, I was left for a year's period with only 30% custody even though I ended up living 15 minutes from their father.
Through my own transformation, I created a very simple well-rounded approach to empowering myself through mental, physical, emotional and spiritual behavior changes that reshaped my path and my world. I explain this journey in my webinar 9 Things You Can Count On In Divorce. It's not a journey for the faint of heart, but if you are looking for true joy, love and freedom it's the only journey.
My weekly radio show, The Mother Rising, on Voice America's Empowerment station hosts guests on the cutting edge within the divorce community. Not only do my listeners learn new tools and techniques for navigating the power players and emotions around divorcing that rock their soul, but they also gain inspiration to make regular behavior changes that will allow for more joy, love and freedom in their evolving lives.
Being paralized by our isolation and alienation can not only have devastating effects on our personal health, but also can send ripples of ill health to our children, finances and our extended family and community. In Clear Choice Divorce, my weekly expertly guided support community that engages any stage of divorce, I use the model of the 9 Things You Can Count On In Divorce throughout the 12 weeks of online conference call sessions where we explore the complex logistical, legal, relationship, child rearing, financial issues and more.
Join me on your journey back to your own true self.
The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
Coaching sort of came to me and then I turned around to embrace it. I intuitively was helping friends and family with everyday health and wellness coaching when one friend said to me, "You are the BEST coach. I don't know what I'd do without you." I didn't actually want to be a coach. I thought it sounded quite goofy and cheesy and unqualified. I had a BA in Neuroscience and a Master's in Health Services Administration. I had previously had my own consulting business integrating Complementary and Alternative Medicine into conventional medical environments and I didn't want to see all of my hard work and training dismissed. I was then introduced to Wellcoaches which is a coaching methodology that is evidence based and is associated with the Harvard Medical School's Institute for Coaching.
The more I learned, the better fit it seemed. So off I went to obtain my offical training and certification. I truly thought that I would work with people on their overall health and wellness challenges; however, when it came down to it, I was surrounded by people wanting to know how I had gotten through my yucky divorce so smoothly. How did I keep my mind so clear and focused on the positive when they knew how messy the world around me had become. And to my surprise, my training, style and deep understanding of divorce, children, the legal process, and dealing with a soon to be ex/ex who is needless to say, CHALLENGING launched me into Divorce Wellness Coaching.
From this the book of my personal journey through divorce is being crafted and has a tentative release date of later in 2014. Additionally, a range of truly pragmatic coaching package options were developed.
I look forward to the possibility of creating a chrysallis that holds you safely during your transformation into your new life!
Success Stories
When a Pretty Divorce is not an Option
Shortly after I had been married, I recall hearing several stories from other older couples who had been married and divorced about how they had been able to put their children first and have a peaceful divorce. These were the stories of them sharing Thanksgiving together and being present at graduations together, sitting side by side, even though they were divorced.
When I was divorcing, my thought was that I, too, could do this for the children. In fact, I really wanted to be friends with the man I had been married to for seventeen years. I wanted to continue to call my sister and brother in law and see how they were. Friends and family were quick to share stories of other couples who had divorced and after time, they were able to become close. I held hope within my heart for this scenario.
It turned out that this was not going to be an option in my case. This dream is simply not possible when we are dealing with a difficult person. This vision takes two people to create the harmony for which you are striving. As if it isn't challenging enough to simply have to deal with a difficult ex, the surrounding community often sees our soon to be ex/ex as a normal rational person. It often becomes apparent that the subtleties of narcicissist and psychopathic behavior are present within this individual and can undermine the dynamic of your relationship. When this is present, there is truly little chance of the "pretty divorce". Additionally, it may not be over with the divorce. You may have to continue a relationship in some way with this person due to shared assets or children.
The good news is, it's going to be ok. I have had many clients who are able to empower themselves by learning to work with this challenging person in their life. It's about understanding the nature of their craziness, in what situations are they on better behavior. How do you structure the relationship so that they are forced into these conditions where they will behave better AND most importantly how do you learn to create boundaries both for yourself and for your children?
It's not an easy journey; however, it is a very powerful one. The self-esteem and empowerment from within that I have witnessed in my clients whom have successfully navigated these rocky waters with monsters from the deep is AWESOME!
I Appreciate Margaret's Candor...
I am bi-polar, an alcoholic and a drug addict and scared. I am grateful for the sense of structure and supportive influence that Margaret has provided during our Wellcoaching sessions as well as in the follow up emails that she has sent each week. She has been both empathetic and receptive, and has been able to keep me accountable on some very serious issues without a judgemental attitude. My situation has required discussions of drug treatment, alcoholics anonymous, interacting with family and friends/toxic relationships, creating a supportive environment, maintaining my medication for my bi-polar, managing all of my medical appointments, searching for work and returning to school. Margaret always has informational resources handy to assist me in moving forward. She has been easy to talk to and I appreciate her deep candor. Margaret's coaching has been a hugely positive influence on me and has truly been a boon. I have really worked to make some challenging decisions on next steps for myself and she has helped me to see for myself with clarity the options and how the choices may play out. ~ Anonymous
Dear Mother Rising…THANK YOU!
Thank you for our wonderful sessions together. You are an inspiration and a loving and intelligent being and working with you has been and continues to be a pleasure. I have had several topics that have required compassionate understanding and illuminating, and your instruction, suggestions and guidance have helped me gain clarity and knowledge that has helped me move through these issues with grace. Additionally, your powerful, no-nonsense and sheer and utter confidence in me as a strong woman has helped to shape my view of myself and all the potentiality that is held for me. Your perspective on my life, life learnings, and my divine purpose allow for the emergence of a calm confidence in myself for which I am grateful. You are honest and astute as well as highly intuitive and educated. This combination creates a sensitive guide who is able to hold the space for myself and other clients to grow. I look forward to our continued journey together as I move through the different challenges in my life's journey. Many Blessings ~ Jane Gould
Hopeful and Confident
Working with Margaret has been such a remarkable opportunity. It's amazing how far a good sounding board and a little accountability will take you. Margaret has asked the right questions and captured the best ideas from our conversations to help me get really clear and focused about what my life and wellness goals are, and why it's important to me that I achieve them. She provides me with the external organization that really helps me see what is important and the incremental steps that I need to take to get there.
The biggest goal I've been working on is a career change, and though she is not a career coach per se, Margaret understands how important it is to find work that reflects our values and accepts our work style. She helped me narrow down the field and each week works with me to set goals that are moving me closer to a dream job. I feel so hopeful and confident about a job search that felt endless and hopeless just a few weeks ago. With her perspective as a working mother, I've also found her to be such a confident role model. She knows I can create my dream job because she is creating hers! She brings a deep level of understanding and a holistic perspective to what could have been a very narrow and limited topic.
I feel so grateful that I've had this opportunity to take on a host of life challenges over the past several weeks. I feel I've made significant progress, and have learned some skills and developed some routines that will carry me successfully through the coming years. Thank you, Margaret! ~ Sarah Neuse
