Guy Who Pays the Bills and Gets the Death Threats Style: MMA (Retired)--
I probably do around 10-15 miles in a given week.
Here's one thing about running that I can't say the same about jits: maybe it's just for me, but I burn fat like nobody's business when I'm running regularly.
If it weren't for the Army, I wouldn't be running at all though. Stupid PT test.
Yes, I am smarter than you are.

When I was training to be a kung fu instructor, the sifu had us run two miles every Saturday morning, and we had to beat our time each week. This went on for months, and I ended up being the fastest one there (I think at the end I was down to around 12:40 for 2 miles). It kinda made me hate running and I haven't really been into it since (it's been years). I prefer to jump rope for cardio.

once a week? why only once? if you are training for a 10k run, you need to up that to 3x id say.
running is good basic conditioning for the legs and the gas tank. requires no equipment, can be done while doing something else (for example getting to/from work) and has a mentally toughening effect. is also one of the better ways to improve your VO2 levels.
Style: MMA, Yoga--
Running is a pretty vital conditioning tool if your gym doesn't offer morning classes. When I'm fighting I do 1.2miles a session, three times a week.
I hate running with a passion, I'd rather go three rounds with a professional out to hurt me than do my morning interval sprint training. I find it impossible for anyone to push me as hard in sparring or pad work as i can be pushed running, my body is too well trained to steal those moments of break.
Overall distance is unimportant for most fight conditioning, the two factors that matter are intensity and time. I run 400m intervals (2-3mins) with one minute breaks five times, someone who has better running technique might have to do 600m for the same heart bursting effect."Boxing is the art of hitting an opponent from the furthest distance away, exposing the least amount of your body while getting into position to punch with maximum leverage and not getting hit."

I run to work (1.5 miles each way 3-5 days a week). I've been doing that for months, but I recently started adding a morning run with some friends that is 3.1 miles 6 days a week. I have good flexibility, and I run barefoot, but my shins are still feeling pretty rough these last 2 weeks.
I traditionally hate running, but I like hanging out with the group that I run with. We are going to be entering a 5k event in a few months and my competitive nature is helping with my apathy for running.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Thomas J. Podsadecki, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine)
Description: This is a systematic and practical review of medical history taking and physical examination for the practicing physician. The book includes a discussion on the appropriate use of laboratory testing based on the clinical setting.
Purpose: The purpose is to review the techniques of obtaining a complete history and physical examination. The editors recognize an increasing reliance on these "low technology" methods of data collection in the current environment of cost containment and practice guidelines. Emphasis is placed on interpreting the significance of physical findings and using this information to guide further evaluation. The goals of systematically reviewing the techniques of interviewing and examination are achieved.
Audience: The book is specifically geared toward practicing physicians, although the material is presented at a level appropriate for medical students, nurses, and other allied health professionals. Contributors to the book include experienced clinicians representing a broad range of subspecialties, both medical and surgical.
Features: The book includes numerous pertinent drawings, charts, tables, and photographs. Models are used to illustrate appropriate examination techniques. Each chapter includes timely references and, frequently, a list of suggested readings. The table of contents and index are especially thorough and very helpful.
Assessment: This is an extremely useful reference. Although geared toward practitioners, enough detail is included to make it appropriate for students at all levels. Rather than simply presenting the techniques of history taking and examination, the authors emphasize the importance of these tools to focus efforts in patient care. The book is an excellent addition to an individual or medical library collection.

Using data on everything from unemployment rates to commute times, CNNMoney ranked 55 major metro areas on the stressors residents face in their daily lives.
From sky-high rents and gridlocked traffic to widespread poverty and unemployment, residents in these cities have a lot to stress about.
Want to get away from it all? These cities offer shorter workdays, a low cost of living, sunshine and healthier living.
Restaurant kitchen managers, vet techs, daycare directors... they all share one thing in common: Each day they take on a great deal of stress but don't get paid much for doing so.
From going to bed hungry to running from debt collectors, the nation's poorest are stressed out in ways most of us can't imagine.
Just because you make seven -- or eight -- figures, doesn't mean you live on Easy Street. The rich are just as stressed about money as the rest of us. Here are five things that keep the 1% up at night.

Congrats Firsh Now you'll start seeing the greatest dashboard message of all time: "You'll be the owner of a shiny new plutonium paw after selling just $150000 more" Happy birthday dude
Thanks Yeah I've noticed, but it's already less than that by a thousand. It's kind of funny but it also makes the plutonium paw seem more plausible now that 40% of (from 0 to 250,000) is already passed. But yeah it's an epic fun fact for sure! I noticed that more than 300 authors have the blue steel or better paws, that's a lot of people, but still the top 1.5%. I remember when only DigitalScience had the plutonium paw, good times

Hey Firsh!

Congrats to you too!

Staff Reporter
TIRUCHI: That social networking sites like Orkut and MySpace have made the world boundary-less is well known.Infusion of innovation into the concept was all it took for a group of college pass-outs to get beyond social networking. Through their project, http://areapal.com, the youngsters have customised the concept to bind neighbourhood friendships online.
Mainly focussing on connecting people, interests and locality, Areapal also acts as a virtual bridge between different cities/areas for people to find friends and help them in getting to know people of a particular area even before shifting there. And people living elsewhere will continue to have 'at home' feeling through a virtual connect with events and happenings in the neighbourhood.
"We are still probing and adding more interesting concepts," says its co-founder K. Kaviraj, who is confident of networking the entire country area-wise through the active participation of students. Having successfully launched the project in Chennai, the group has readied the database for Tiruchi. Coimbatore is next.
The purpose is to create a platform for physical convergence of people with common interests in neighbourhoods. Four students of NIT – Tiruchi: Navin Kumar, Arun, Amir and Balakrishnan, have volunteered to give technical support to the Areapal team. Areapal initially started off with a couple of interested designers designing an interface. Students from CEG, MIT, SRM and other institutions came together to code the concept, and MBA students of Great Lakes and LIBA are into the task of sharpening the strategy.

Sean Penn and Scarlett Johansson 'Intense' PDA Shocks Press at Correspondents Dinner
While Johansson came to the event with her brother Hunter, she was soon seen at the side of rumored live-in boyfriend Penn who attended as the guest of a media outlet.
The New York Post reports that Penn raised some eyebrows when he refused to put his hand over his heart when everyone stood up to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner."
Later, despite the presence of President Barack Obama, other celebrities and members of the media, an eyewitness told UsMagazine.com that Penn, 50, and Johansson, 26, were engrossed in an 'intense' makeout session.
A witness is quoted saying, "She [Johansson] plopped down in his lap, and they were kissing. It happened right as the main course of the dinner was being put on the table"
Later on, the couple left the room for "an hour" and Penn reportedly came back to the table with his tie askew.
A witness is told Us that the couple had gone to one of the courtyard areas with a group of friends and said, "Scarlett was pawing at Sean, holding on to his hip while he was smoking. She gave him a short kiss. But then they took a walk some 30 feet away, broke off from the group and kissed some more."
The couple later separated but they were soon seen together at the Vanity Fair after-party where a witness said, "Around 1 a.m. Sean showed up and he and Scarlett were immediately side by side for the rest of the night. When they were walking out the door, Sean stopped her, took off his jacket and put it on her shoulders, saying, "It's cold out there." They then grabbed hands and walked out before 3 a.m."

Have to agree with Lori... he's not ugly on the inside. He also was one of the few to actually *gasp* get into the water after Katrina and HELP people.

BOISE -- Some World War II veterans from Idaho are preparing for the trip of a lifetime. Next month, they'll travel on the Honor Flight to see the Washington, D.C. monuments built in their honor.
Two of the veterans who will be traveling on this year's flight live in a retirement community in Boise.
Carl Olson and William Litzebauer can both remember the moment they heard World War II was over.
Olson was on a ship headed for Japan when the news broke.
Everything else was thrown overboard when we heard we were going to New York. That included Jeeps, he said.
As he showed off some of the few items he kept from his time serving in the United States Army, he admitted to us, he shouldn't have even been there. Olson can't see out of his right eye.
I erased out the question mark for my right eye and I put in 20/20. I got back in the line and I was in the service, said Olson.
Olson and Litzebauer told us they enlisted because it was the right thing to do. Both have lots of stories from their time in the Army.
Do something even though you don't want to, said Litzebauer with a laugh.
These stories are ones they've been telling a lot lately ahead of their trip to Washington, D.C. with 24 other World War II veterans from Idaho.
I consider it an honor to be able to go back and see what other generations might see, said Litzebauer.
This will be the second Honor Flight from Idaho. It's free for the vets who attend.
It's an opportunity to give back to the guys that made this country what it is today, said Honor Flight of Idaho Director Lance Stephensen.
An opportunity Olson and Litzebauer said they're looking forward to as they look back on their time in the service.
I've always had a philosophy that I'll do what's necessary...and that was necessary, said Olson.
Stephensen said there are still 150 World War II veterans from Idaho on a waiting list to get on a flight. He hopes to expand the Idaho program, offering more than just one flight a year soon.

Unfortuantly this issue seems to have real world impact, for example here in the State of Colorado where I live, there is a effort underway to introduce legislation that would put a TAX on anything online, users playing a MMO online would be forced to pay a TAX, Users selling or buying any sort of online gold be it by honest means or by gold farming would be facing a TAX. The tax would be part of the STATE INCOME TAX structure.
Did some checking, Colorado is not the only state that has tried this and it has been defeated, even the US Congress tried this route only to be defeated by big giants like Microsoft, Blizzard, Electrontic Arts threatening to moving thier operations overseas and thereby removing billions of dollars of revenue from the US Government.
Seems to me that companies like Blizzard are somewhat hypocritical when it comes to gold farming, they turn a blind eye since it increases revenue for them and yet put the smack down on the US Congress when someone there tries to Introduce a ONLINE INCOME TAX due to gold farmers and buying and selling of ingame money which is currently TAX FREE.
The European Union and the United Kingdom already has something similiar but it is part of the VAT. If you look at it closely, the USA has the highest number of gold farmers in US based MMO games then in the European/UK based MMO games and you have to wonder why and see that it makes perfect sense why the US Federal and State Governments have been trying to impose a similiar "Internet TAX".

You CLEARLY look at he the problem from a (3rd party) developers point of view.
If you EVER had even been close to a real RMT group, in-game, playing with them, hacking with them, exploiting with them, talking to gm's with them, you wouldn't have made some --assumptions-- you made, never ever. About enraging. Whatever your may have exprieced, your 100% claim doesn't fly. We're sorry. GMs got banned before as well, you know.
But I guess you still miss that experience. Probably always will as well.
The first paragraph was great. Thanks
Well, the good news here is that this is one of the first concrete steps that has become public that NCSoft is listening and responding. If there is anything you can take with you to NCSoft is the need for them to up the level of their communications to the customer. They don't have to do it directly to each customer and for each complaint but the thunderous roar of silence so far from NCSoft has been disheartening.
I have always laughed at the conspirators that claimed a developer was in league with the gold famers. If a company wanted to do this they would either do it themselves and cut out the middle man since after all they can just create a character with a billion or two of cash on it and no need to grind or they would arrange for a company to purchase x number of subscriptions and get y amount of loot in return again with no need to actually login and use resources or upset the customer. Item malls and transaction fees are easy enough for them to do with out the need of doing deals with suspect companies that if they came to light would ruin their reputation.
With RMT it doesn't matter if you love it or hate it as long as it is controlled and limited to have minimal impact. It is like speeding you don't have to get every speeder but you do need to make examples of the ones you do catch.

Jagex tried that exact thing with Runescape ( limiting/removing gold and item trades between players ) and got bit hard in the ass for it.

Scott, may I make a recommendation? Have someone sweep the locations in Aion outside the warehouses in the Asmo and Elyos capital cities once an hour on each server looking for gold sellers camping with private stores. It would do a lot for the PR with the community to see those farmers kicked and banned promptly. If there's anything that telegraphs apathy to the community, it's seeing the same asdf troll spamming for $14/mil kinah outside the bank for many days running.
I can understand how detecting and banning bots is a harder question, but the folks outside the warehouses make NCSoft look complicit. I too have heard the "they're in on a cut" rumors and it would be insane to believe them (I'm an indy game company CEO), but when this level of apparent slack on a pinpoint chronic issue continues, it's hard to debunk it.
When the spamming in chat channels started in open beta, it took NCSoft more than a month to implement Bayesian filters -- they have them pretty well tuned now -- which also seemed incredibly slack. This is a solved problem. SOE and others have papers discussing how to implement it out on the open web. It should have taken a day or so to implement, and a day or so for QC. Patched. Done.
Every day, in Twitter (I'm shava24 there, for gaming purposes) I see more people quitting Aion because of bots. It's a solid game, imo, but it's not too big to fail. Look for the things that make obvious visible impact first, and the bleeding could be stopped quicker than the larger scope of the problem can.
Great article, Scott and thank you for writing it.
I'm really glad to hear that NCSoft is -finally- taking a stand on RMT, which seems to be (at least from the sound of it) on level with Square-Enix's "RMT Task Force" for FFXI and eventually FFXIV. The Task Force has done a great job of bringing RMT under control in FFXI, within only a few months of it being introduced,and it continues to help keep that game's economy under control. It's encouraging to see that NCSoft seems to be taking it far more seriously.
I believe the RMT problem has grown to the point where it can't be thrown in as part of a GM's routine work. It needs serious attention from a dedicated team.
So... Thanks again for the article. The best of luck at NC in getting their anti-RMT team up and running. I look forward to seeing the results in the coming months once it's put into effect.

Is there a chance that some small company or someone within a company might have gotten involved in doing something along these lines? Sure (can YOU say Eve Online scandals?), but I believe his post while not specifically stating is that in his experience any serious company operating a MMO as a business has not gotten involved in that sort of crap as part of their business plan. There is no more way to stop a bad GM from taking advantage of their position than there is to stop a bad employee from stealing from their company. All you can do is pay attention and don't assume that everyone is always honest.
Feel free to provide names, dates and specifics as it would interesting to know more about how such things go on but not much point to your post to be honest.

I'll say the same thing I do to all of these threads, blame the fellow players.
If sad little players didn't feel the need to buy gold so they could be the uberest in the game, then there wouldn't be a market for gold farmers and none of us would have these issues.
Do us all a favor and STOP BEING LAZY AND BUYING GOLD.
Decent article, but I liked the link to 'how to stop gold farming' article better. I like the idea of capitalism. I will not play a game that I can't run multiple accounts. I'm not rich but I decided I like gaming enough to spend the cash on another account. This generally puts me ahead of the curve a decent amount in how much in game cash I can make, but sometimes I just don't care to put the effort in. And this is where I feel all the hate from gold farmers come from. People feel that spending ten hours of their time in game farming gold is somehow more noble than me spending ten hours at my job and then spending a fraction of that real money for the same amount of gold. What these people seem to be missing is that an MMO is not real life. Real life is what matters. It ends up looking like jealousy towards someone who values real life above online life. And if I can put eight hours of my life towards getting my rent paid AND get the same amount of gold as you, I have to in my mind. Its about prioritizing your time. What everyone seems more than happy to gloss over is the fact that the gold buyers got that money somewhere. Usually at a job that advances the life that matters, real life while also advancing their game life. Just because you value game life over real life doesn't make it more noble its just a different prioritization of your time.
To the guy above, you are absolutely right, breaking my back working a job is infinitely more lazy behavior than sitting at my desk not moving for 10 hours...
I don't feel the need to purchase cash or items in a game as I like to be self-sufficient. In most games I will have a couple of accounts and a number of alts on each one. I like to try and create alts of different classes and if there is crafting then crafters. As I level my main I collect and keep most things and feed them to my alts and crafters either as upgrades or materials. As the materials flow in the crafters can make things for my main and for the other alts and generally while I may not have the absolute best items in any specific category I can normally have pretty good stuff across the board and I have the pleasure of knowing that I made and earned it all.
But, I can understand why people might want to find a quicker or easier way to get what they want. Do you all remember the girl that advertised a "Get a mount for buying a mount" deal that she supposedly consumated?

I do think there is a much easier way than adding " in game " security. Take away the " anonymity " when players create an account. Make players use SSNs and phone numbers when creating accounts, then contact the account owner that their information is being used. Technology is there and developers should learn to use it.

As I wrote in an article I linked, the F2P game I was working on at NCsoft had specifically that feature (blind auctions). We were also considering allowing for some dual-currency model involving RMT (similar to how Puzzle Pirates handles it) and having the for-pay to earned-in-game transactions between players handled via blind auction, so that players themselves would assign a floating value to the in-game currency.
It was an ambitious plan and I'm not at all sure it would have survived into implementation, but plenty of folks including myself are thinking in those terms.
Windows tends to not recognize the AV software I use... I can only imagine the support headaches if game companies had to try the same. :)
CC information is already used to detect and remove banned accounts in many instances (not all). IP addresses are too prone to false positives to provide any real identification beyond the most basic.
Yep. Leaving lawbreakers out in the open for everyone to see is a big problem. It's the "broken windows" theory of law enforcement - as long as you see blatant decay and disdain for order, you'll continue to encourage a culture of impunity.
Not sure what exactly you're trying to imply, but I have first-hand knowledge of CSRs who have been fired for working with gold farmers and exploiters, and every MMO developer's policy is to fire any CSR caught in such shenanigans immediately. Does this mean some do anyway? Of course. Blizzard has thousands and thousands of CSRs (just as an example) and the laws of averages dictate some will be ill-behaved. But game companies keep logs and track CSR actions specifically to detect and remove such bad actors.
But when I mentioned being enraged by such a "MMO companies are in collusion with gold farmers" question, I assure you, I know my own feelings on the subject well and need to make no assumptions. :)
Got a link? I'd be interested in reading that.
Well, I *did* write both :)

I guess I really don't get it?
To me - the answers are obvious
Gold Farmers are a business. So, how to you put a business out of business? You make it unprofitable.
How do you do that?
Have games that aren't 'bot friendly'.
Design games so that gold isn't everything. Maybe concentrate on giving players bonuses for social interactions? (making sure it is not bot friendly!)
Restrict Gold Farmer accounts - don't ban them. Limit chat. Limit trade. Contact the CC company and make it clear that account is still playable - a charge back is NOT justified.
Account theft is more difficult - but you touch on the solution by mentioning 'keyloggers' - perhaps introducing something within the login procedure that does not require key presses?
The interesting thing for me is I am currently playing 4 different MMOs and none of them have a problem with Goldfarmers.
1 has no gold.
I guess I just don't play Goldfarmer friendly games?

Interesting... Every Hack, Junkie, Addict & Low-life in the world has the ability to ''rationilize" their immoral behavior to make it seem acceptable to the rest of the moral community. Because I play a game "just to enjoy" the game somehow makes me inferior to you is ridiculous. Your Noble position of preferring to spend your time in Real Life rather than Game-Life is utter crap. Basically you are an instant-gratification person & will do, say, whatever to appear superior to other people who live or play by the rules. And... if you do it in-game then guess what??? You do it in real life too. Enjoy your fake life, in-game & out.

I agree with this. If you are banning gold spammers in-game it is already too late.
Lum didn't mention it, but another way that it is alleged gold farmers get into MMOs is through key generators. Once they crack the key generation system, it isn't difficult to pull out free, full functioning account keys.
Ultimately I think that unless you want to make the MMO economy the central star feature of the game, it needs to be sidelined. Either in-game currency needs to be worthless - CoH/V had no real gold seller involvement until after the auction houses were implemented because pretty much everything was available at a fixed cost and inf was easy to come by, plus no uber-rare loot - or it needs to be sold through official channels (and again, no auction house!). You can't half-do an economy in a MMO - constant inflation of prices is like beautiful music to gold sellers.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can and will justify absolutely any behavior and then project all sorts of evil motives on the people who point out that they're acting unethically.
People who buy gold are no different from people who buy bowling trophies and get their names etched on them, or people who get mail-order diplomas from non-existent schools. They're people who want to claim achievements that they have not earned, and, at the heart of it, the root of all evil is the desire for the unearned.
The issue isn't that you value "real life" over "game life". The issue is that you want the rewards of playing the game without, y'know, playing the game. You want an "I win!" button. And, frankly, I do not believe people have different ethical systems for different parts of their life -- just, perhaps, different fears about the consequences. The man who wants items in a game he did not earn probably also wants real-world money or power he did not earn -- he is just (possibly) more afraid of going to prison if he's caught than he is of getting his account cancelled. (But, if he is caught, he will probably claim he's being harassed, that it's no fair he was expected to work for money when other people got a trust fund inheritance, that everyone does it and if he didn't, he'd be left behind, etc. )
I mean, let's face it: Every game I can think of has an EULA banning RMT. That's a legal contract you, as a consenting adult, agreed to -- and you have chosen to break it. While this is unlikely to actually result in any penalty other than an account ban, the fact is, you gave your word, you agreed of your own free will to abide by a contract, and then you broke that promise, apparently with no guilt and with much pride. It's difficult for me to consider anything an oathbreaker says as useful or honest. I don't know what you do for a living, but I seriously doubt you work nearly as hard as you claim. By your own logic, if you can manage to goof off for eight hours but still collect the same pay as someone who works hard, you *must* do so. It's about prioritizing your time, right? If you get eight hours pay for working hard, and the same eight hours pay for hardly working (as it were), only a fool would do the former rather than the latter, right? Any of your coworkers who think you're a lazy parasite are just "jealous" and only WISH they were as clever as you.
Like the saying goes, "Character is who you are in the dark." It's how you act when you are unlikely to suffer any penalty that determines what kind of a person you are.

How is everyone?
I'm beginning to find it difficult to focus at work. It's hard not to think about next month!
I started washing baby stuff this weekend. My husband tried out the satellite phone while at work on Sunday to see if it was ready when things happen to make sure I can get ahold of him. I think he is starting to get nervous about me not being able to when the time comes.
My back is starting to kill me which I've been worried about since the beginning of pregnancy. Have an old injury that flares up if my abs get too weak. Have been fine but suddenly yesterday my back started hurting on the right side which is where baby has been residing and I assume, adding extra weight. Did some yoga yesterday to stretch it out. I've suddenly become scared of back labor when I do go into labor. My mother had it with her first and when I get stressed, that's where I feel it first. I'll prepare for the worst but hope for the best! (whine, whine)
Random question: if you breast feed, do you need pacifiers? I never had one as a kid and I wasn't breast fed... Sucked my thumb til 12, though! My niece had one until 5 and her teeth are a bit messed up by it. Just wondering if we should even have any. Thoughts?
You can try pacifiers, if you want to. There are good and bad points to them, and your kid might decide they don't like them anyway. In my case, we tried them with DD, but she's a thumb sucker (the boys appear to be, too, in utero, which is where their sister started) and never wanted them. My sister had to wear a retainer when she was a toddler because she was too attached to her paci--I never used one, but the joke's on me, because after her stint with the retainer as a kid she has had PERFECT teeth, and I had to have braces, retainers, the whole mess. So I think it might not be the solution to avoid them. It seems pretty even in terms of pro/con, as far as I can tell. Although pacis are easier to take away when you want them to stop, thumbs are always with them, so there's no frantic pulling over to the side of the road every time the darn thing falls out of their mouth.
She's here!
And so are the boys!
Husband and I were both thumb suckers. I wonder if it's hereditary.
This morning being up and sitting for an hour brought on contractions so now I am on bed rest for 2 weeks. ugh. Seems I have about 30 minute tolerance for being upright, then i have to lay down. (and since I have a very low lying placenta (but no more previa), I cannot even recline on my bed. It is full out on my side only. )
Thank God I got my baby laundry washed. I have some cleaning that must be done before my help comes. I also have a bunch of sewing projects I have been saving till now. HA! Looks like that backfired. Argh.
I just feel grumpy.
What pregnancy does to my head:
What new babies do for my heart:
I go through spurts of BH contractions that make me think we are getting close, then days I feel none. I guess all we can do at this point is just deal, right?
We did loads of baby prep this weekend, got the car detailed, bought a carseat and some other baby stuff that added up to an extraordinary amount of money somehow, deep cleaned the house, planted flowers, washed all the baby clothes and prepped all the diapers, set up nanny interviews and made some freezer meals. I'm exhausted and back at work yay!
It's been hard for me to focus at work too lately. So many things I'd rather be doing. My back is hurting a lot too farmes. Yesterday after cooking food for what seemed like forever I felt like I had just climbed a mountain or something. A warm bath helped, but for someone who isn't used to back pain I felt like a big baby. My wife is so used to me being tough and independent she doesn't know what to do with me when I'm out of commission.
Everyone is having lots of contractions, we must all be really close. Sometimes I am used to contracting every 5 minutes, and sometimes it drives me crazy. At least they are still mostly painless I guess. Just two more weeks. We have an appointment with the OB today to do one last ultrasound and then schedule the caesarean. It looks like it will be June 23rd though.
Here is a pic of the mural so far. It has quite a ways to go but I'll be working on it a lot this week now that everything else is done.
Me (31) DW (28) 2 puppies and our sweet little love born 6/19/14
Got my home birth kit together mainly. The emergency hospital bag is half-way packed. Baby clothes is all washed and ready. DH is working on our bathroom. Hopefully he will get it all taken care of by the end of the week. Counting down, hoping for baby to stay inside a while longer. It is still another 4 weeks to due date and I am not cleared for home birth until mid-next week plus my mw is still on vacation. So I have been trying to take it easy too and rest more than usual. There are still a few appointments lingering this week and I am just hoping for the best.
It has been tough at nights though to find a good position to be sleeping in. On top of that DD2 keeps waking up at around 3ish am and keeps me awake for hours. This has been going on for over a week now and I haven't figured out why. Well full moon is only 3 days away but that would be really early. On top of that my teeth were hurting last night which is usually a sign of heavy rain or storm but the weather report shows no such thing. Really awkward.
So hang in there all you mommas for the last couple of weeks. Take it easy and rest up a bit and give yourselves some care too.
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
I think there's some safety issue with newborns and pacifiers. Aren't you supposed to wait until 6 weeks or something? I forget. It may just be to wait until nursing is well established to avoid nipple confusion. Babies suck a pinky the same way they do a nipple, whereas pacifiers and bottles are different.
Girl absolutely in love with boy and our DD (11/06), DS1 (08/11) and DS2 (brand new!)
Its lonely over here due at the end of the month! Seems most everyone is darn close to "full term" and I'm only 34 weeks tomorrow. Feels like I still have an eternity. I think I'll get around to ordering the birth kit today though. Has anyone ever used a cord ring? I plan to add this http://www.inhishands.com/cord-band-cetro/ to my order. I asked my midwife if she's ever used one and she hasn't, said she prefers the plastic clamps (will, of course, use what *i* prefer) but I always hate the plastic clamps! I'm just wondering if they come with instructions for use? Looking at it I have no idea how it works, and if my mw has never used one I have no idea if her midwife brain will be like, "well duh, obviously it goes on like this...." or if she will be confused by it because she's never done it before?
Also, AFTEREASE!!! Seriously, is anyone on baby 3? I didn't feel any after pains with my first (c-section, so I was medicated after with just ibuprofin, so that could be why) with the 2nd, i definitely had them and they weren't comfortable but they were bearable. With my 3rd, hoooly crap, I never got around to ordering afterease and just used cramp bark that i found locally, which worked good, but seriously: with baby #3 and beyond, cramp bark/afterease is *not* optional.
Mamamem- At least you have all the important things finished, even if you didn't get to your projects! There will be time when you feel better. Sorry to hear about your bed rest, you must be frustrated.
Kate- I hear you. Pretty much feel the same way. Today is a, I'd like my body back day, however I don't really mean that, as the biscuit is not done baking. In about 3 1/2 weeks!
Redrock- Beautiful mural! What talent. Did you use a projector or is that free hand? So cool. BTW, back pain can bring a woman to her knees-I'd never wish it on anyone.
Min-Good advice about resting! I'm going to take it...after I go for a walk.
Mares-I was slightly kidding about thumb sucking being hereditary. Guess just more curious if I'd regret not getting any pacifiers or not. Seems like if a kid doesn't have one, he's typically sucking on some combination of his fingers.
Lilstar-I'm having no contractions, as I presume it's still too early. Seems like you're due close to me (I'm due the 30th), have you been having any?
Girl absolutely in love with boy and our DD (11/06), DS1 (08/11) and DS2 (brand new!)
I've been cleaning up, trying to get the baby's area organized, fighting off allergies. I had a great trip recently to visit my family for the first time in close to a year, so that was nice. I really miss them. I've done a few small themed paintings to hang on the wall near where the baby will sleep, and I had my husband help me rearrange the furniture in the bedroom so that "my side" is a bit better organized and that he won't need to cross past the baby to reach his dresser.
As for pacifiers - We never used them. It was nice, because we never had to break the pacifier habit. Our first was never really "attached" to anything - pacifier or comfort object - and it made daily life much simpler. I wasn't a thumb sucker, either. Not sure about my husband, although he was formula-fed. I do think that that makes a difference, but I could be wrong.
I started Hypnobabies the other day. I know I'm rushing it a bit, but I'm enjoying it so far.
Afterease/crampbark - where do you get it, how much do you get and how do you use it (if it's a loose herb)? I've heard of arnica for afterpains as well. I'm going to be doing a bengkung binding after birth, and hopefully that will help.
My biggest concerns at this point are going full-term and having baby in a proper position for birth. I have a mental "contingency plan" for a hospital transfer but I really, really, really do not want that to happen.

We never used pacifiers for our 2. DD1 would not even use her fingers for sucking or anything else and DD2 is a constant thumb sucker. Hopefully she will outgrow that habit since it is affecting her front teeth already. My dentist told me not to worry about it yet though. We will see.
Sitting has been quite uncomfortable these last few days but lying down is not much different. Still hot as hell here hoping that storms will cool us of a bit though.

Some of that, if you weren't specifically told to get it yourself, you wouldn't need to worry about it because you would assume your mw would be bringing it herself, such as sterile gloves, tape measure, lancet, cord clamp. Other things, if you werent otherwised asked to get them, you might want to ask her if she will be bringing them. like the underpads (chux) you definitely want to have those. i prefer prefolds for pp pads, so i don't care about the massive pp pads. peri bottle, I could personally take it or leave it, but i know some people swear by them. they're dirt cheap on the website and would probably be a couple bucks at a drug store. foot imprinter isn't a "need" but its nice to have My last midwife had a minimalist style. She just used an ink pad, lol. but the foot printers made specifically for newborn footprints are cool and don't put ink all over the baby feet. the straws are a funny one. it seems like such a weird item to order from a birth supply website, but every birth kit i've ever ordered has had them! But when I think about it, it makes sense. Lots of people don't keep them in the house, wouldn't want to buy 50-100 of a disposable item they don't want to use for a couple bucks at the store when they can get 2 for just .05 each, so in that way its logical. And they really are nice to have in labor, since someone can hold a cup up to you and you should be able to drink it easily no matter what position you're in. Can you imagine being in labor and needing to adjust your position just so you can get a sip from an open cup?
They have 9x12 plastic drop cloths for $5. I considered getting one to line my bath tub (lining it will allow me to put pillows under the liner, and it will cover up the safety drain thing, so it will let me make it several inches deeper)until i checked home depot.. a 3 pack for $5! So I'll be getting that, and putting one on my bed (upstairs) one in the tub (downstairs) and one on the futon downstairs, in case i decide to get out of the water to push, then i'll have a nice place already prepped downstairs and not need to walk all the way up to bed
I dont care. I just want to cry. I am so done being pregnant and now that I have stuff to finish, out of the blue I have to go to bed till it is safe to deliver. So my sewing project is scattered all over the living room. NOT bc I am too tired or weary to put away. But rather bc I am covering my couches. a little hard to tuck in a corner somewhere.
Ok, I will stop whining. but feel free to come over anytime you want to whine. it's about all I am good for.

What pregnancy does to my head:
What new babies do for my heart:
A bit about pacifiers and thumbsucking from my experience...As a baby myself, I nursed for only 4 months until my mom got mastitis and gave up on nursing and switched to cows milkin a bottle. I never had a pacifier and never sucked my thumb. My dd nursed on demand for 2 1/2 years, never had a pacifier and never sucked her thumb. I know there are many types out there, but I never found a use for a pacifier and dd never found a use for her finger. Though all kids are different, but neither may be necessary. If I were to have used one, it probably would have been one of those naturalrubber ones.
As far as afterbirth ctx and pains, I am hoping that regularly consuming my placenta will help and I haven't prepared anything else herbal or otherwise. My mw's suggested a tincture, but I neglected to order it. Am I fooling my self that the placenta will help. I tried to research it online, but did not get very far.
Mamamem, sorry to hear about your bed rest situation, but cooking that baby a little longer will do everyone a service, so hang in there! I can say that i totally relate though as I was on bedrest for 4 1/2 months with my last pregnancy and i know how totally frustrating it can be (4 days or 4 months), but you are in the final stretch. I am all about being crabby and whining/all-out-crying lately. Call it homones, call it pain and frustration. All I can say is that I sort of wish I was forced to sit/lay down, but instead I am still working my ass off everyday to keep on track for the farm work. My goal is to finish the major task list by Sunday and put myself on bed rest Due in 23 days, feels like an eternity.
My blessingway was Sunday and it was so amazing. I was surrounded by the most beautiful women in my community, showering me with Goddess energy and prayers and song and massage, etc. And a friend did a wonderful sister blessing for Piper that made me all out bawl my eyes out. It will be one of my most treasured memories.
Tomorrow is my home visit at 37 weeks, so most of the birth crew will be coming over in the morning, which I am really looking forward to. I never did get a chance to organize all the supplies, but they are all at least in one place. Maybe I will have a chance to do it before they arrive in the morning...after all my chores (Probably not).
Me (31) DW (28) 2 puppies and our sweet little love born 6/19/14
Cramp bark is not even available here. After my 2nd I was using Arnica and cell salt No. 7 for healing and breast feeding helped a lot to quench the pain faster. Hoping to do the same with the 3rd.
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."
i'll be back later to see what y'all are up to.
What pregnancy does to my head:
What new babies do for my heart:
I got the okay from my midwife to birth at 36 weeks at home. I was a little nervous on that, because my first was a 36-weeker, but that was calculating with LMP and I know my O date with this baby so I'm a little more certain of my dates this time. I've been having contractions for months so knowing that I'm "safe" to go at 36 is a big relief for me, because I know some midwives are strict at 37 weeks being the go-point.
Meeting with my doula and midwife this weekend. They've never met, so I'm hoping it goes well. I'm hoping that my husband will finish up work early and be present, but I never really know in his industry what will happen from one day to the next.
Father's Day! I can't wait for the gift I ordered for my husband to arrive. My mother adores him and bought him a gift as well. His own mother is less than ideal, so I'm really glad that he and my mother are (fairly) close. We don't really celebrate Mother's/Father's Day in our family - aaaand darn it, I just realized that I haven't yet done anything for my father. I should probably get on that.

Great news with the midwife!! I understand how that would be such a relief. That's a big marker for me, too. Similar feelings of relief as hitting 12 weeks safely
I'm right with you on the fatigue. My iron is good, but I am SO tired, it's just crippling. I am only 33 weeks, so I'm a little worried about what this means for the next two months. I especially feel guilt over how little parenting I'm really doing, especially with DD who is homeschooled (unschooled). And unpacking and organizing isn't happening quickly at all. We actually timed this pregnancy hoping my mom could be around to help, as she's a teacher and has summer off, but she was diagnosed with breast cancer and is starting radiation today. So not only is she out of commission (she'll finish on my due date) but I really, really wish I could be there with her.

Holidays were always iffy in my family. My birthday always seems to fall on a MAJOR holiday, so it's inevitable that I'd have a disappointing day. My husband asked me last year what I wanted to do for my birthday, and I just shrugged and said, I don't care, because I've never had a birthday that was actually pleasant. Mother's Day is similar.
My father is one of those IF I WANT IT, I BUY IT people, and I never feel like I'm coming up with anything "good enough" for him as a gift. I could spend time with him, but not now that we live in different states.
We've been having a similar problem, our first is homeschooled and we definitely haven't done with it what we hoped to do this year. Between the big move and the pregnancy, it's been a considerable adjustment, and I don't have it in me right now. I've been trying to redirect him toward as much educational material as possible. Lots of books, and I managed to find a Tag pen at a thrift store for $5! I had plenty of the Tag materials and books already that I'd gotten couponing last year, but never had the pen. He put together a puzzle map on the kitchen floor and is playing with it right now, which is great. He tends to be an auditory-kinesthetic learner, so - for all that electronics aren't great if overused - he tends to retain more that way.
I'm so sorry about your mom. I hope that it was caught early enough and she can achieve remission quickly and with minimal fuss. I can't imagine anything like that happening to my mother - we're so close, and it's terrifying to even consider. Keep us posted, please!

Mem--I'm so sorry to hear about the bedrest--that sounds terrible, and I would be really upset to not get to finish my sewing projects, too! I think I'm down to only things that need hand tools, other than the boys' curtains, but since they won't be sleeping in their room room for a while. Of course if you're on your side even handwork probably isn't very comfortable. Hugs to you!
Kate--DD had hand, foot, and mouth last week, and pretty much all she did for 5 days was drink juice and watch George. Any other time I would feel bad about that, but I figured everyone needs to be cut some slack now and then, right?
Minerva--ugh, yes. Hard to sit, hard to lie down, everything gets achy, and then it's hard to move from one position to another. I was talking to my dad the other day and wondered out loud if laying eggs might not be an easier way to go?
Turtle--Your blessingway sounds lovely--and how wonderful that your daughter got to participate! It's going to be such a big change for her, too, I'm sure it was helpful to have a ceremony honoring her transition as well as yours.
Redrock--ooo...gorgeous! I have no artistic abilities, so it's always amazing to see someone who does. I hope you'll show the whole nursery once you have it all put together!
Lilstar--good to hear about the afterease--I was wondering if I'd need it, but this is pregnancy #2 so maybe I'll just skip it?
Caled--hopefully everything will go smoothly and you won't need any contingencies! Hypnobirthing did nothing for me in labor (I think I have the wrong personality for it--my friend found it very useful!) but we listened to the tracks for months because it would put us both to sleep in about 5 minutes, which was great when the anxiety started to really kick in. Also, I was just going to more or less ignore father's day (that and mother's day were never a big deal at my house) but my DP bought my dad a card and wrote a really nice message thanking him for everything he's been doing for us. Her dad is kind of a jerk, so it means a lot that she has mine when she needs that kind of support.
Mares--I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope the treatments go smoothly (and fast!) and that she's in remission and feeling better as soon as she possibly can be! That's a lot to be facing when you're already getting prepared for a new baby!
Nothing much going on here, other than baby B switching head down on me. I think most of my projects are actually done (and the ones that aren't aren't ones I care enough about to throw myself into). I wish I could be done working, but I'd rather have the time with the babies than sitting home waiting for them, so I keep waddling in to work. I wish the constant commentary would let up, though.
She's here!
And so are the boys!

Thenewno2 (styled as thenewno2) are an alternative rock band from London, originally composed of Dhani Harrison and Oliver Hecks, with Harrison playing lead guitar and singing lead vocals, and Hecks playing drums and synthesizer. As of 2014, the band now consists of Harrison, Jonathan Sadoff, Jeremy Faccone, Paul Hicks, Airin Older and Frank Zummo. The name "Thenewno2" is a reference to the 1960s British television show, The Prisoner. Thenewno2 have been credited with the album design for George Harrison's Brainwashed, Concert for George, The Dark Horse Years Box Set, and the menu design for the Concert for Bangladesh DVD. Hecks was the still photographer for the Concert For George, and some of his photographs appear in the Genesis Publications limited edition book, Concert for George.

Red Hat 8.0 Nforce mobo audio, video, lan all work updated instructions
Many thanks to Steel, without whom, I never would have gotten x working with Red Hat 8.0. With the Nforce motherboards, there are also issues with the nic and sound and every time there is a kernel update, you have to go through the whole mess all over again. I have modified his instructions to reflect the new file names and have included the instructions for getting the nic and sound drivers updated, which were not in his post..
I have downloaded and burned to a cd the 3 src rpms from Nvidia:
You don't have to burn them to CD, you could just save them to your hard drive if you like, but these instructions show how to do it from CD.
First, open a terminal and log in as root
"su -"
Step 1> Open /etc/inittab file and change the following line. be carefull while changing this line. This will allow linux to reboot in text multiuser mode.
Change :
id:5:initdefault: to id:3:initdefault:
Step 2> rename the previosly compiled kernel to make a backup copy. In a terminal window.
"cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386"
"mv NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.i386.rpm NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.i386.rpm.old"
Step 3> upgrade your kernel to the new kernel-2.4.18-xx.x.x and kernel-source-2.4.18-xx.x.x and hwdata using the redhat downloader. You must have all dependencies installed. The best way to ensure that you have all dependencies is to just go start menu > system settings > packages > and in the development section choose the Kernel development packge and install the whole thing.
Step 4> Reboot and run linux in the new kernel. It will start in the command line mode. You will get errors about networking because the sound and nic drivers are not right yet. Login as root. After root log in, then su -.
Step 5> remove the previously loaded GLX and kernel files in the right order as below.
rpm -e NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191
rpm -e NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191
Step 6> mount the CD where the 3 nforce drivers are.
cd /dev
mount cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom
you now see a list of all 3 src rpm's.
Step 7> on command line do a "rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm" to create drivers for the RH new kernel that we have now booted the system in. (This will again create the new binary RPM for the new kernel in "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.i386.rpm")
Step 8> Install this new (NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.i386.rpm)
"rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.i386.rpm"
Step 9> on command line do a "rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.src.rpm" to create drivers for the GLX. (This will again create the new binary RPM for the GLX in "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm")
Step 10> Install the GLX (NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm)
"rpm -ivh NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-4191.i386.rpm"
Step 11> uninstall the nforce drivers for sound and nic.
"rpm -e NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248"
Step 12> on command line do a "rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.src.rpm" to create drivers for the nic and sound. (This will again create the new binary RPM for the nic and sound in "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.rpm")
Step 13> install the nforce drivers for sound and nic.
"rpm -ivh NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248"
Step 14> your Xconfig file should work from before and you dont have to change anything in there.
now do "startx" to start XServer.
Step 15> once XServer works fine Open /etc/inittab file and change the following line again. This will allow linux to reboot in GUI mode again.
Change :
id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault:
Step 16> reboot again, kudzu will find the nic and ask you to migrate over the old settings. Everything should now work as before.
My system:
Asus A7N 266 VM
512 MB Mushkin 2,2,2 DDR PC2100
17" NEC multisynch FE700
This actually plays UT2K3 as long as you don't get too crazy with detail levels.

Here is how I did it (little different)
Here is how I did it on the weekend, little different than above, in some ways better, some worse... I would suppose this is the way to do it if you either want a 'clean install' or do not have Linux already installed... I will be brief, as I am only including the info that is 'non-standard' (ie. read how to edit the XF86Config file in the above post)... I did this on a Asus A7N-266VM
1) somehow get the redhat isos (self explanitory), and the Nforce -0248 drivers (rpm) and the Nvidia 3123.src.rpm and 3123.src.rpm... I used a zip disk for the drivers...
2) when the Redhat installer screen starts, type "linux text"... I could not get the graphical installer to work
3) Choose a custom install... install everything that is default, plus the "kernel development" packages
4) Do NOT set up Xserver...
5) Reboot, at the command promt log in and SU to root...
6) move to the directory where the nforce drivers are...
7) Install the Nforce driver first... (rpm -ivh Nvidia_nforce*)
8) Build the kernel and glx drivers... rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel* &NVIDIA_GLX*...
9) Reboot
10) Kudzu will inform you of all kinds of new hardware... choose ignore...
11) at the command prompt run redhat-config-xfree86 --set -driver nvidia THIS IS KEY, the program will crash without specifying the --set -driver nvidia part...
12) Edit the XF86Config file as per normal (/etc/X11/)
13) edit the /etc/inittab to change default mose to 5 from 3 (see above post, do in reverse)
14) Edit the /etc/modules.conf and change the Sound-Slot-1 to Sound-Slot-0 (zero) i810...
15) Check your HD performance... as root /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/hda and chack the output... then try /sbin/hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda ...then rerun the /hdparm -tT /dev/hda and look for a performance change... (should be significant)... if the numbers are better than add the /sbin/hdparm -c1 -d1 /dev/hda to your rc.local file... (so it works every restart)
16) SU to a normal user
I know I have been brief... consider this an update to the excellent guide for nforce chips and redhat 7.3... I would suggest reading that guide first, then seeing how I altered some of the steps to get 8.0 working... any questions, just ask... ;)
one more thing
Any other nforce users find it silly that the graphical installer works for redhat 7.3 but crashes under 8.0? This was a total pain in the ass! I hope redhat fixes this for phoebe (8.1)... I do NOT want to continue installing in text mode...
Any nforce2 users (IGP chips) try to install redhat 8.0 and have to use the text installer? Or is is only us lowly nforce1 users>?
I agree, it's nuts to have to go through this every time there is an update to the kernel. You could try using the command lines I show above to create a script to do most of the update for you. You would still need to edit /etc/inittab before starting, but that is pretty trivial.
I am quite 'on the fence' about this issue... I mean Nvidia needs to keep its IP safe, but the Nforce chipset is one of the best out there, certainly for Linux (when it is installed)... yet we have to go through all kinds of hoops to get it running...
and it seems to be getting worse.. I could use the graphical installer in RH 7.3 ... now I have to do a text install for RH 8.0... what a drag...
Hey Andy (from Nvidia)... I had an idea... what about GPL'ing a VERY simple driver set for Linux... nothing fancy, 2D alone like RIVA-esque level of technology... that way the driver could be included in Distro's and allow us LOYAL customers to use the 'graphical' installer and get a working desktop without X crashing... then when we want to get the "proper Closed Source" drivers (with all the goodies) we can D/L the drivers as per normal, but we do not have to go through all the CLI stuff...
Don't foget while you're at it, if it's drivers for an nforce mobo, you will need to have support for the nic in there as well, otherwise, you will have a pretty x desktop, but no way to download the drivers you need. Maybe leave out sound support and just put in basic nic driver for the distros, at least we can then get the "real" drivers from Nvidia.
ive been messing with my nforce board for days now, and just when i thought i had it figured out, i look in my etc/x11 file to modify my XF86Config and its not there....
also, what should i use to modify it given there is no pico in RH8?
VIM to the rescue
ok... here is what I think you need to do...assuming you have installed the 3 drivers already
first, there is no XF86Config in RH 8.0 until you run # redhat-config-xfree86 ... since your board is an nforce you will need to add --set-driver nvidia so the command to enter is
# redhat-config-xfree86 --set-driver nvidia
this will create an XF86Config file
to edit use vim... (usually referred to as vi)... so vi XF86Config will open the file (similar to pico) to edit a line you need to hit the insert key first to change back from "edit" mode hit esc...
make the standard changes to the XF86Config file then hit esc then :wq in one line w(write) q(quit) this will take you back to the command line... thenstartx and you are away!
thanks to all who answered my questions... i finally got it up and running...
however, now, im a little concerned about updating the system kernel.
from what i understand, all i need to do is upate the kernel, then rebuild the rpms from the source rpms and reinstall the nvidia kernel and GLX drivers, right? what about the nforce rpm?
my other question is, how can i check to see if my system is up to par? nforce board, not necessarily graphics wise, just HD access wise, cause im going to be using it as a game server...
thanks once again...
use HDPARM
check out this link and see how to tune your HD
Hey Rudemood12;
When you are ready to update your kernal, just refer to the first post in this thread, that is exactly what it is for. I use these instructions everytime there is an updated kernal. I installed RH 8.0 when if first came out, so I have done this, what, 4 times now? Anyway, RH 8.0 does have PICO, I use it all the time, it's just not installed by default. Look in your add packages (system settings/packages) area and look around till you find PICO. I think it was under text editors. Good Luck;
hey man, thanks for the note, ill be sure to refer to it. thanks to all you guys!

Witchery Launches an Extensive Spring 2014 Range in Sydney
