|first mommy + mav selfie
I never meant to go so long without posting on this blog. My intentions were to write monthly updates along with a laundry list of other topics. But life changes after you have a baby, that's for sure. Taking care of Mav has been my number one priority. Followed by sleep. Recovering from pregnancy and childbirth. And finally, nurturing myself and my real-life relationships. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much time or energy left for reading blogs and writing.
But I'm here now and promise not to abandon this space. It just took me a while to come up for air. The first 3 months of Mav's life have been a whirlwind. Amazing. Scary. Awe-inspiring. Tiring. Beautiful. Words really do escape me. Being a mother is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Every day, I am so grateful to have him as part of our family. It is the hugest blessing in my life to be his mother.
For those of you who are still trying to conceive your miracle babies…DON'T GIVE UP. If the door keeps slamming in your face, try a different one. Even if it looks different that you imagined it would. On the other side is parenthood. And it doesn't really matter how you get there. All the pain, tears, money and heartache are worth it.
Recently, I received an email from a woman considering donor eggs. She wanted to know if I wish I'd tried harder with my own eggs. She asked whether I felt like I was missing out on anything with my son.
Answer: Absolutely NOT.
He is the child that we were always meant to have. He's everything I've ever wanted. Not for one second have I felt that I am missing out or that he is not really my child. In fact, if I had the choice to have him or a child from my eggs…I would choose him. Without a doubt. I wanted to put that out there for anyone considering egg donation and wondering the same thing.
It's almost over. I go back to work on Monday. Gah! I can't believe it. Seems like the time went by way too quickly. I'm going to miss lil man with every fiber of my being when I'm away from him. But it will be good to use my brain and have some adult time (outside of my pajamas).
It's almost over. I go back to work on Monday. Gah! I can't believe it. Seems like the time went by way too quickly. I'm going to miss lil man with every fiber of my being when I'm away from him. But it will be good to use my brain and have some adult time (outside of my pajamas).
Thankfully Mav is on a pretty solid schedule and he's sleeping about 7 hours each night (on average). So this should make going back to work manageable. His schedule looks roughly like this…wake and eat at 6AM. Play and then go down for nap. Wake and eat at 10AM. Play and go down for nap. Wake and eat at 2PM. Play and go down for nap. Wake and eat at 6PM. Play (and trying to incorporate bath time here but we've been inconsistent) and go down for nap. After this nap, I usually have to wake him up at about 10PM before I go to bed to feed him so that he will sleep throughout the night.
The tough part is that he is still in our room and he is restless after about 2AM. He wakes me up a several times each night. Especially when he pops his arm out of his swaddle…pretty much every night. I'm on the hunt for THE best swaddle. Borrowing the Ollie from a friend and heard that the zipadee-zip is worth trying too. We are transitioning him into his crib in his bedroom this week after we get the Angelcare monitor hooked up for mama's peace of mind.
For childcare, we are doing a combo of my husband, my mom and myself. We are fortunate that my mom has the summers off from work so she can help us watch Mav. It will keep him out of daycare until August. At that point, we will be putting him in a daycare for 2 or 3 days each week.
Mav never was able to latch (for reasons that I will explain in more detail some day). But I've been pumping and feeding him breast milk since he came home from the NICU. In fact, I produce so much milk that our freezer is overflowing and hubby complains that he can't fit anything inside of it. But I am stockpiling in case my supply goes down when I return to work.
Although baby boy doesn't seem to matter whether his milk is delivered via breast or bottle, I still have moments when I'm sad that we never got to bond in that way. I am so glad though that he has been able to get my milk via a Haberman Feeder.
He loves to eat so much that he complains and fusses when we were done feeding him EVERY time. Our feeding specialist recommended adding 1.5 teaspoons of formula to his breast milk to thicken it and make it more caloric instead of giving him more milk (too much fluid). Mav is eating more than 5 ounces of breast milk augmented with Honest Company organic formula every 3-4 hours.
He hates to be burped because he had bad reflux in the beginning. Now he is on Prevacid for the reflux but it's his habit to hate burping so he still keeps up the fuss.
POSTPARTUM RECOVERY (TMI alert!)
Recovering from a C-section is no joke. It was so tough in the beginning. I'm almost healed now but boy was it hard at first. About two weeks after Mav was born, I started bleeding out of my incision site. It was brown blood so I wasn't too worried. When I saw the doctor, she said that I started bleeding internally after I was discharged and the blood clotted inside my abdomen. The clotted blood was stuck and trying to come out. So I had to apply hot compresses three times a day and apply pressure to try to coax the dried blood out. It never came out after that initial bleeding incident so I ended up with hard knots in my stomach that are just barely starting to go away.
My blood pressure was too high after I gave birth so I was put on blood pressure medication along with my slew of pain pills. Thankfully I was able to wean myself off of all meds by around 3 weeks postpartum.
The only remaining bothersome symptom that I have is carpel tunnel in both hands. As I type this, I can't feel my fingers. They are numb. So frustrating. I've been going to physical therapy and sleeping with wrist braces (when I can remember). But it still persists. I'm hoping I don't have to have surgery for it. Ugh!
Oh by the way… I also got thrush in both of my breasts. And STILL have it. I have an anti-fungal cream that I apply four times daily. But I can't shake it. So it is 'oh so fun' pumping with painful nipples. Sigh! Girl, can't catch a break.
Happy to report that I quickly returned to my pre-pregnancy weight. Yay! I gained 34 lbs during my pregnancy but most of it was probably water weight due to the excessive swelling in my lower extremities. Breast-feeding definitely helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I eat more now than I did when I was pregnant yet the weight just came right off. I'm trying to walk to start to building back my muscle mass but it is pretty tough to manage my time with Mav.
I did manage to go to a couple of postpartum sculpt classes while I was out of work. Big accomplishment!
As for Maverick…here are some monthly milestones and pictures.
As of Mav's 1-month appointment, he was up to 9 lbs, 14 oz. I'm not sure his length, as they didn't measure him. This put him in the 48th percentile for weight (according to the Sprout app), which was up from the 28th percentile at birth. He was wearing NB-sized Honest Company diapers and clothes, although he transitioned pretty quickly from NB to 0-3 month size clothes.
At Mav's 2-month appointment (where he received his first round of vaccines and his blood-curdling scream broke my heart), he weighed 12 lbs, 5 oz. Again, my pediatrician rarely measures his length because he said it is hard to get an accurate read. According to the Sprout app, this puts him in the 57th percentile for weight. Woo hoo! Up from the 28th at birth. My little peanut loves to eat! He graduated to size 1 diapers and 3 month size clothes.
- Great eye contact
- Hates being burped
- Eats 4 ounces per feeding
- Loves his swing
- Smiles and eyes dart when falling asleep
- Strong neck and legs
- Sleeps up to 4 hours
- Nickname "bug"
- First happy hour with mom + dad

- Smiles a lot

At our appointment yesterday (6 days past his 3-month mark), Mav weighed in at 13 lbs, 15 oz. This is the 60th percentile. He actually looks like a chunky baby now, which is awesome. He's wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month size clothes. I'm so happy we've been able to get his weight up and satiate his crazy hunger.
- Alert + observant
- Bats at hanging objects
- Hates tummy time
- Always kicking his feet
- Faux hawk is 2 inches tall
- Loves being outdoors and watching the trees blow
- Started teething | top front tooth

YouTube showing messages on slow videos blaming ISPs
YouTube is one of the most popular sites on the internet for streaming video and as such, it consumes a lot of bandwidth on many IPS networks. Some ISPs are allegedly slowing the streaming of YouTube videos down and YouTube is calling the ISPs out on the practice. YouTube has begun putting little messages on videos that are having streaming issues.
The message pops up over the title of the video and reads "Experiencing Interruptions?" and on the right side of the message, a button for users to click reads, "Find out Why." When the user clicks on that button, they are taken to a Video Quality Report that is localized for the person streaming the video. That report allows the user to compare video consumption times in their area and compare their ISP with the performance of other local ISPs in the area.
The best providers in the area receive a YouTube HD Verified tag with other carriers possibly having badges putting them in Standard Definition or lower tiers. The idea is to give the viewer an idea of why a video is slow rather than just assuming YouTube is having issues and to give the viewer options to change to other carriers that aren't putting limits on video streaming.
US Marshals bitcoin auction list targeted by spammers after leak
The email mistake from the US Marshals Service that led an email to be sent CC instead of BCC has resulted in at least a few people on the list receiving phishing emails. It's an unfortunate turn of events considering these type of basic email snafus shouldn't happen frequently, especially from a government agency.
So far, the only victim appears to be Bitcoins Reserve, with CTO Jim Chen sending 100 bitcoins to someone he thought was company founder Sam Lee. Here is what Lee said in an email confirming the problem:
"As this attack vector was only successful due to an oversight in operations, the founders of Bitcoins Reserve will compensate the company by injecting an additional 100 bitcoins to ensure we're still effectively performing arbitrage for our investors."

Despite protests from cabbies, London rules Uber is perfectly legal
London's transport authority, TFL, has ruled that controversial smartphone taxi app Uber is perfectly legal, despite official protests from the UK capital's iconic black cab drivers.
London cab drivers voiced their concerns about the way smartphones running Uber operated - arguing that, in effect, they counted as meters that actively work out fees as the cars run. But TFL has dismissed these claims. "In relation to the way Uber operates in London, TfL is satisfied that based upon our understanding of the relationship between passenger and Uber London, and between Uber London and Uber BV, registered in Holland, that it is operating lawfully under the terms of the 1988 PHV(L) Act," spokesperson Leon Daniels said in a statement.
Even with the all-clear, Uber remains a controversial service, as cab drivers highlighted concerns about the safety of passengers with Uber vehicles. Their collective action in protest of the app brought parts of London to a standstill - but in an own goal, saw Uber user rates shoot up 850 percent.

In a new interview, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has revealed just how outright difficult Steve Jobs could be, even in the earliest days of Apple.
Some early Apple employees said they would never, ever work with Jobs again if they could help it - and Wozniak described these workers as some of the brightest and among his best friends in Apple. "Steve Jobs had a lot of these questionable things, like some of my very best friends in Apple, the most creative people who worked on the Macintosh, almost all of them said they would never, ever work for Steve Jobs again," Wozniak said, speaking with the Milwaukee Business Journal. "It was that bad. I'm shocked."
However, Woz went on to say that from the early days, Jobs really respected people who would stand up to his pushy attitude. "He would directly confront people and almost call them idiots," Wozniak said. "But ... when they confronted him back and told him why they were right in understandable forms, he was just testing and learning, and he would respect those people and give them high privileges in the company." In the interview, as BusinessInsider points out, Wozniak also revealed that in the early days, Jobs would be happy to rush products out before they were ready.
China gives green light to Lenovo's billion dollar IBM server buyout
Lenovo has got the green light to go ahead and buy IBM's low-end, x86 server business.
The January deal was subject to examination from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce's anti-monopoly group. Lenovo offered a stonking $2.3 billion for its stake into the low-end server market. It's expected to be finished before the year's through, but is still subject to the usual checks and balances from regulators in the United States.
There is a chance two enormous multinational corporations from such sensitive geopolitical territories could stoke fears about the potential for corporate or political espionage. But China, at least, has now given it the OK. Lenovo is well regarded for its consumer computers - and this business itself was a buyout from IBM, demonstrating that despite some paranoia in the West it's perfectly within reason for a Chinese company to perform well in the markets.
HTC One M8 smartphone has helped the company post a profit
HTC promised the world good things with its new flagship smartphone, the One M8, and now, it has delivered. The Taiwanese smartphone maker has just posted $92 million in profits from $2.2 billion in revenue this quarter.
After a very long period of time bleeding both sales and money, this is a good turn around for the company. Sure, it's not Samsung or Apple money, but it's profits instead of losses. And in an even more competitive world, this is a good sign for the company. The company recently launched the One M8 Ace, which has a plastic body, and the One Mini, which should help those profits a little more.
Most of Crytek's UK staff have stopped going to work
It wasn't even a week ago that we reported that Crytek wasn't paying some of its staff on time, but now according to people familiar with the matter, Crytek's UK office has seen the majority of its employees stop coming into work.
Kotaku's Jason Schreier has "spoken with four people connected to Crytek's UK studio" and according to those people "Crytek's UK staff have still not been paid the full amounts they are owed, and this week, according to two sources, the staff at Crytek's UK office handed in formal grievance letters and went home".
One person familiar with the studio has said that an estimated 100 people have left the company, but we don't know if these people have left permanently or not. The new rumors are that Deep Silver, the studio behind Dead Island, the Metro series, Saints Row IV and Homefront: The Revolution (which the Crytek UK studio is currently working on) will buy Crytek. One source said: "They have invested a lot in Homefront and will want to protect their investment". We should see some movement on this story in the coming weeks.
Amazon resists FTC proposals on kids' in-app purchases
Electronic retail powerhouse Amazon is resisting proposals from the FTC concerning in-app purchases made by minors.
According to the American regulator, thousands of customers have filed complaints about unauthorized in app charges. In some instances, these were in excess of hundreds of dollars. The FTC has claimed Amazon neglected to properly acquire informed consent from parents over the charges. The FTC argued notices about in-app purchases should be clearer, and that ideally a password would be required for each and every purchase. "The commission is focused on ensuring that companies comply with the fundamental principle that consumers should not be made to pay for something they did not authorize," an FTC spokesperson said, according to ZDNet. "Consumers using mobile devices have the same long-established and fundamental consumer protections as they would anywhere else." It was made mandatory for Amazon to obtain informed consent in June this year.
Amazon, however, is resisting the complaints. "When customers told us their kids had made purchases they didn't want, we refunded those purchases," said Amazon associate general counsel Andrew DeVore, adding that the app store "includes prominent notice of in-app purchasing, effective parental controls and real-time notice of every in-app purchase."
Expect more commercials - Facebook just bought video ad firm Liverail
Facebook has announced its plans to buy one of the biggest video advert sellers in the world, LiveRail, shortly after introducing its video-only ads on the network.
The price is hush hush at the moment, but LiveRail is responsible for automating video ad sales for massive clients like Major League Baseball and Dailymotion, AdAge reports. Because they're automated, publishers are able to simply upload whatever they've got into the LiveRail system, which then finds buyers in live auctions.
"When we started talking to the team at Facebook about how we could work together, it quickly became clear that we shared a vision for the future of digital advertising," Liverail's Mark Trefgarne said in an official blog post. "They believed, as we do, that publishers deserve a new generation of audience-aware advertising technology." What does this mean for the end-user? It's not 100 percent, but we'd wager Facebook users can expect to see a lot more video ad estate on their pages.
Goldman Sachs wants Google to unsend a 'highly confidential' e-mail
Goldman Sachs accidentally sent out an e-mail recently, which contained "highly confidential" information, to the wrong person. The investment banking firm is now requesting that Google somehow unsend the e-mail.
Reuters is reporting that a Goldman Sachs contractor was testing changes to the company's internal systems, in order to meet the requirements set out by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The contractor then mistakenly sent out a client's confidential brokerage account information to someone's Gmail account, instead of the correct gs.com account.
This all happened on June 23, which means that whoever received the e-mail, has probably read it. But, Goldman Sachs wants to see its power used, pushing a US judge to issue a court order demanding that Google delete the e-mail, in order to protect itself, and its customer from further damages. Before Goldman Sachs went to court, the firm reached out to the Gmail account owner, but received no response.

Dustin Jeffrey has always appeared more comfortable playing center, but his ability to have long term success with the Penguins could depend on him thriving at wing.

Native Washingtonian
I love adventures, traveling, being silly, and deep conversations on random subjects. More importantly, I am looking for someone who is fun, honest, loyal, and confident in themselves (without being arrogant). I also tend to favor someone with a bit of an edge, or at least someone who is more easy going than uptight. I have a lot of interests that range from animal rights to photography, but it is not important that I meet someone who shares all of the same interests as me. I would rather meet someone who has a great sense of humor and is passionate about making a difference in the world (whether it be through their career, volunteering, or just being an all around good person). A passion for international travel, however, is a definite plus.

I have Dogs
I rescued a Chihuahua, who might be the cutest dog ever. Not biased at all.
Some other viewpoint
I tend to go out mostly around the U Street Corridor but I am not tied to any one spot. It all depends on who I am with and what we feel like doing. I love dancing but usually end up just grabbing drinks or dinner and going from there.

I love trying new restaurants and generally enjoy all types of food, except meat (recent vegetarian). Travel is my main passion. I went on my first solo trip to Peru last year and it was amazing. Otherwise, movies, dancing, concerts, and reading.

St. Charles, Mo.'s American Railcar Industries Inc. (ARI) and Ohio-based US Railcar LLC (USR) announced the formation of a joint venture — US Railcar Co. LLC (US Railcar Co.) — which will design, manufacture and sell Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs).
US Railcar Co. will be led by President/CEO Michael P. Pracht, a rail industry veteran with extensive experience with the world's rail transportation companies.
ARI will provide US Railcar Co. with its experience in the production of railcars and ARI representatives will comprise half of the board of the joint venture. Representatives of Value Recovery Group Inc. (VRG), which purchased USR assets from the Colorado Railcar Manufacturing Co. (Colorado Railcar) in late 2008. VRG will comprise half of the Board and will bring to the venture government contracting experience.
Once established, the joint venture plans to produce railcars on order for public authorities and communities to improve public transit, commuter and regional rail service.
The US Railcar Co. DMU was prototyped by Colorado Railcar through a demonstration project in 2002 and is currently the only DMU that is fully compliant with Federal Railroad Administration passenger equipment safety regulations as stated in 49 CFR Part 238.
Available in both regional and intercity configurations, the US Railcar Co. DMU is suited for incremental corridor development at speeds from 79 mph to 90 mph.
Platform enhancements currently anticipated include a diesel-electric upgrade, increasing speeds to 125 mph.
Every MI09 can transport up to 2,600 passengers at maximum speeds of approximately 75 miles per hour. Each train is made up of five cars, each equipped with three large doors on either side to facilitate passenger exchange in the stations.
The Brussels based UITP's World Congress is the major global gathering of the world's public transport industry to network, review progress and innovation, understand trends from suppliers as well as focus on the challenges that public transport faces in delivering a viable, sustainable future for the world.
The three additional cars will boost SMART's seating capacity by 35%, officials said. Because of the escalating costs for railcars, the grant also was estimated to have saved taxpayers about $11 million, according to state officials,
Will begin work on a seven-year, $700 million rail delivery partner contract awarded by the California High-Speed Rail Authority earlier this month.
The Coradia Lint 41 is an environmentally-friendly low-consumption Diesel Multiple Unit that can reach a maximum operating speed of up to 87 mph.

Victim of Richland House Fire Was Deaf
Authorities have released that Linda Saracson, 67, was the victim in the Friday house fire in Richland.
Authorities have released that Linda Saracson, 67, was the victim in the Friday house fire in Richland.
People who are excited about the food trucks on John Dam Plaza and a new McDonald's coming near the Uptown will be pleased to learn three new restaurants are coming to the corner of George Washington Way and Swift.
Richland is getting a new McDonald's but it won't be in south Richland or Queensgate. It won't be up north by PNNL or Horn Rapids. You'll never guess.
Richland city council is debating how to stop panhandling. It's A LOT harder than you'd think.
A mom posted a message on Facebook recently cautioning parents to keep kids away from the Richland skate park. I love that park so I called the Richland Police to get the facts and was really surprised what I learned:
The band Joseph, a folk trio from Portland, is performing at MUX at the Uptown Theater in Richland this Friday along with Tri-Cities folk singer Badland Nomad aka Michael Hopp. Seattle indie group Novel Nature is also opening for Joseph.
I've got really conflicting feelings about plans to build a new bridge to connect Duportail Road in Richland. It would bridge "old Richland" with Queensgate and the rest of "new Richland" as well as West Richland. But should Pasco, Kennewick (and the rest of Washington state) be asked to pay for it?
A Richland woman gave a great explanation for why the hole in her backyard wall is still unrepaired a year later. But I think there is something the homeowner can do to speed up the process.
Last time I visited Wenatchee I was absolutely charmed by the Pybus Public Market. It's in downtown by the river in an old steel works building and it's like a high-class mall drawing comparisons to Pike Street Market in Seattle. Now Richland wants one.
Richland police have apprehended two teens in connection with a shooting that left bullet holes in one of the units in the Alyson Manor Mobile Home Park on Mahan Street in Richland.
Richland Police's street crimes unit located a suspected car thief in the 300 block of Van Giesen Street a little after 2 p.m. Wednesday and he gave chase in a stolen Kia Sorento with stolen license plates. When driver Brian Buell, 45, tried to turn around near George Washington Way and Symons Street, he spun out and slammed into the Jefferson Park gazebo.
Richland police have a man in custody, who allegedly made a bomb threat Thursday afternoon.

Every call made to sever there after is sent with these two parameters userID and SID, so I verify this on server, that the current session on server is equal to the session id provided and it belongs to given userid.
IF all is OK, only then I process the RPC request further.
Also, I am planning to make all my RPC handlers to extend a common RPC Handler which will accept these parameters.

Quite frankly, your generalization (one of many) that no 15-year-old is capable of writing as I did is false.

Hamha! Welcome to The Hamtaro Wiki!
Want more Hamtaro?
What's new on The Hamtaro Wiki
3:44 PM GMT on May 12th, 2015
Hamha guys, Michael Here! I recently became an admin for the Forums to try and modernize what we currently have here and so far, it's going well! I have a list here that I plan to do and I will always keep you guys updated on what I have done and what will be done in the future! Anything completed will then be made bold as a reference point. Anything in Italics is a current project.
- Chatroom (Access from your own profile with a button to the right)
- Forums (Better then before!)
- Modern Forums (Rather than the old generic layout, I will add a new logo, and a new bacground. Jazz things up a bit!) Oh, and a new Wiki Theme!
- Fill the characters pages with lots of information that is relevant and true (With sources)
- A page counter (I want to be able to know how active these forums are!)
There is more to come that I will list out here! Any requests? Send me a quick message. I will respond ASAP!
- Michael

Oxnard is a food-loving hamster, he is usually seen eating, and, like most of the hamsters, he is easily tempted by sunflower seeds, but seems to be more in a craze due to his large appetite.
What is your favorite couple out of these?
