Easy Workday Walking Workout
Sometimes in a busy day there just isn't time to do a full workout or get to the gym.
But you CAN do something.
Just a few minutes here and there can make the difference between maintaining your fitness and losing it.
And in any case, you'll feel so much better about yourself if you do the best you can and don't give up your fitness efforts entirely on those busy days we all have.
Here's all the you have to do
- At the start of the day, climb 5 sets of stairs – they can be 5 flights at work or mean going up and down stairs at home 5 times. (Alternative: step on and off one step for 5 – 10 minutes)
- At morning break, take a 10 minute walk (or do your stair routine again)
- After lunch, another 10 minutes (take a longer walk if you can then)
- After dinner, 10 or more minutes walk (or more stairs).
There – that means you've fitted in 30 – 40 minutes exercise without taking up much of your day at all and you'll find the mini breaks from your work do you good too.
And if even that is too much then try my whole body fitness course Fitness in No Time which involves only 10 minutes exercise 3 times a week!
How to Choose a Gym
It's not that easy choosing a gym.
Even though I don't go to the gym any more, I was once a member of a great gym which had a spa attached. It was just round the corner from my office – handy for fitting in a session at lunchtime or after work (even before work when I was really keen).
And when you walked through the door you could smell the aromatherapy oils from the spa and feel like you were entering a new world. Solid wood lockers, fluffy towels and a calm atmosphere. A little bit of luxury as a reward for working on YOU.
If that gym had been crowded and chaotic, dirty and unfriendly there's no way I would have gone so often (if at all). With this gym, I only stopped going because I left work and it was too far to get across town.
So if you want to join a gym, it's important to make the right choice.
1. Don't Go Only on Price
Although you have to weigh up the monthly cost against your budget, if you never actually go to a cheap gym because the whole experience is unpleasant, it's not a bargain offer. Be sure and check the joining fee and additional costs for classes and so on when considering your budget but also think about whether you'll get value for money by wanting to go there three or more times a week.
2. Make Sure it's Convenient
Choose a gym which is close to your home or office – that way you're not going to waste an hour (or spend a small fortune in gas) getting there and back every time you go.
3. Look at the Equipment
Does the gym have plenty of the type of equipment you prefer? Is the equipment clean and well maintained? Is there plenty of space between each machine? (There's nothing worse than heavy breathing right in your ear from the machine next to you).
Also, are you paying for facilities you will never use? My gym had a great pool which I NEVER used (swimming is not my thing). Others cost more because they have tennis or squash facilities attached – worth it only if you like these sports and will play regularly.
Some facilities such as air-conditioning and water coolers are essential. Others make going to the gym a pleasure (or less of a chore). Can you watch your favorite show while you work out? Check that you are able to choose what you view if the gym offers this and that all TVs are not fixed to a few channels – the ones the instructors like…
4. Consider the Classes
Are fitness classes included in the membership? Does it have a range of classes to suit you? What is the system for booking (and cancelling if you have an ever-changing schedule)? Are they oversubscribed/crowded?
5. Visit at Peak Times
Many gyms which are an oasis of calm during the day get hectic in the peak hours after work. Visit the gym during the times you will use it to get an idea of what YOU will experience as a member.
6. Look at the Opening Hours
Make sure that your gym is open when you want to use it. Some gyms close at weekends. Others may not stay open as late as you need or open early to fit in a session before work (if that's when you like to work out).
7. Check out the Changing Rooms
Are they clean and well-maintained? Are there enough lockers and showers? Are there facilities for drying hair etc?
8. Ask about the Instructors
Are there plenty of instructors around? Are they qualified? Find out how the gym helps new members get to know the equipment. At my gym every new member had an initial 1-to-1 session with a personal trainer to create a tailored program and teach them how to use the equipment. And a session every month or two to update their program.
9. Consider the Atmosphere
While you're checking everything out on your visit, you'll get a feel for whether you're comfortable in a gym. Are you happy enough with the people, the place, and the atmosphere enough to want to go?
Some gyms are geared more towards bodybuilders, some towards casual exercisers, some towards women. At some you will feel comfortable in your old sweats. At others you have to wear the latest gear to avoid being looked down on. Will you fit in? This is also where small details like flowers in reception, good music or friendly staff can mean a lot in making your visit a pleasure.
10. Do A Trial Run
Never sign up for a long commitment without giving your chosen gym a proper try for at least a day (Buy a day pass if they don't allow a free trial). Then, if possible, sign up for 1 to 3 months and give the gym a true test. If you are still enjoying your visits after that time you have found a good gym for you.
Try and make your choice without being pushed into anything. I know that many gyms employ pushy sales reps to try and get you to commit before you're ready and to push you to buy additional services. Forewarned is forearmed.

7 Tips for a Great Cardio Workout
1. Follow a Training Plan
If you have an effective and well thought out plan to follow (which matches your level of fitness) you are more likely to keep to it and less likely to injure yourself by doing too much too soon.
Don't have a plan? Find one on the net like these great resources for example…
Cool Running Couch-to-5k training plan (This is the one I'm currently following – Week 6 day 2 just now)
Do it for Charity Cycling Training Guide
Alternatively borrow a book from the library or pay for a session with a personal trainer to help you formulate a workout schedule for the coming weeks.
2. Vary It
Cardio can get very boring if you do the same activities and use the same machines or follow the same routes every time – and besides, if you keep on doing the same old routine it does not challenge your body as well as it could.
Make the effort to switch around your activities, equipment and environment. Vary the intensity too – some long slower sessions, some interval training, some medium intensity, medium length sessions too.
3. Entertain Yourself
Add to your enjoyment by using music or tapes while you work out. Watch TV at the gym. A long session on the treadmill can go very quickly with your favorite show. Don't forget to focus on what you're doing too though.
4. Protect Yourself
Keep yourself safe and free from injury by wearing the right clothes and footwear and keeping to well-populated areas. If there's a lot of traffic go easy on the music so you can hear as well as see vehicles approaching. Let someone know where you are going.
5. Eating
Wait a couple of hours after eating a full meal before working out. If you are too hungry to work out a light snack such as a banana can be enough to satisfy you before your session. Also you may find you get more out of an early morning work out if you have a light breakfast first.
If you want the full fat-burning effect of a cardio workout don't eat straight after your session but wait an hour or so before having a meal.
6. Stay Hydrated
For a normal cardio session plain water is best. Before, during (depending on the length of your session) and after. Avoid sugar loaded sports drinks – you don't need them. Good performance requires hydration not sugar.
7. Stretching
Don't forget to do your stretches after your workout to avoid soreness. Doing a lot of cardio (and building muscle) can reduce flexibility – so stretching is essential. Also taking up something like yoga and practising on non-cardio days can be particularly beneficial in maintaining flexibility.
Bonus Tip : The main thing to have an effective cardio workout is just to "Do It" because chances are you will feel great whenever you do and not so great when you have avoided getting out there and getting it done for a week. Once you have a plan, log your workouts so that you can see you are making progress. A heart rate monitor too is a great tool for seeing how far you have come before you can even feel the difference.
Elliptical Horror Story
It's difficult making a selection among all the elliptical machines available and finding one
a) where the elliptical movement is good
b) which fits your budget
c) that feels sturdy enough for the amount of punishment it's going to take
But anyway, you visit stores, you look online and finally you make a choice. You get your elliptical trainer delivered and it appears just fine. Your fitness program begins in earnest – you don't use the machine as much as you expected but you ARE using it… and then within a few months things start to go wrong.
The elliptical movement is not as smooth as before, there are noises coming from the machine, and then after a little while you can't use it at all.
Then you'd expect warranty and customer service to take over when you have problems with a purchase as large as an elliptical trainer wouldn't you – I mean these things are not cheap – over $1000?
Well, you might be wrong.
Read the problems one reader encountered with his NordicTrack elliptical.
What should you do if you're thinking of buying an elliptical?
- Read our independent free elliptical buying guide
- Take a look at our reviews of ellipticals and best buys
There was a fair warning of problems in our review of the NordicTrack but unless you happened to see it before a purchase how would you know?
I have to say that NO machine is guaranteed to be error-free but with purchases of large fitness equipment like an elliptical trainer you do want to see the backup of great customer service who will look after you if you hit problems.
Stair Running Training Plan
Stair Running image by Jack Brodus
If you like the idea of climbing stairs for exercise, and would like to take it to a much higher level, Former Fat Guy has a stair training plan to help you get in shape fast – stair running for fat loss.
Of course, stair running is not for the beginner – follow an aerobic training program first so that you build up your cardio strength to a level where you can jog continuously without too much effort for 15 to 20 minutes non-stop before giving stair running a go.
And you need a good flight stairs to use, Former Fat Guy suggests 20 to 30 stairs are about right.
After warming up by walking up and down the flight of stairs for 5 minutes you can start sprinting up the stairs then walking down repeating 3 to 5 times.
And if you want more after that he suggests more sets, more stairs or adding a weighted vest.
Stair running is great for getting super fit and for fat burning and if you want to feel motivated to do it you can always pretend you're Rocky Balboa in training in that famous scene on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art with music "Gonna Fly Now"blasting out in the background….

The Goodbye Gossip Girl is the 25th episode of the second season and the 43rd overall. It is also the season finale.
Like everything on the Upper East Side, high school graduation is done a little differently. Who needs pomp and circumstance when you have paparazzi?
-Gossip Girl
Summary Edit
It's graduation for Constance Billard and St.Jude as the characters plan to take the plunge into their lives after high school. For some like Blair and Serena it means leaving behind Gossip Girl. Unfortunately, Gossip Girl has other plans for them. In the midst of the ceremony, Gossip Girl sends out a blast with unflattering labels for each of the main characters: "Nate: class whore; Dan: the ultimate insider; Chuck: coward; Blair: weakling; and Serena: "After today, you are officially irrelevant."
Although Dan is unperturbed, the others are furious and seek revenge by trying to uncover Gossip Girl's identity. The attempted outings anger Gossip Girl so much that she unleashes her entire stockpile of tips, which concern events that have happened throughout the series but have thus far remained secret. Tempers flare as the secrets are revealed and everyone confronts each other. Chuck and Blair turn their anger onto Serena, who had set the trap that had provoked Gossip Girl's wrath.
Upset, Serena texts Gossip Girl to meet her alone face-to-face at a bar, threatening to reveal her true identity to everyone. Gossip Girl calls her bluff and arranges for the whole class to meet Serena in the bar. Via e-mail, Gossip Girl then points out that she had given them all the perfect graduation present: a clean slate, as all their secrets were now out. She also reminds them that without their tips and their thirst for gossip and sordid drama, she would be nothing. She reveals that she will be following them to college, and her identity remains a mystery.
The characters all prepare for the summer; Little J is crowned future Queen by Blair; Nate and Vanessa prepare for their roadtrip to Europe, just as friends; and Georgina prepares to attend NYU with Dan and Blair. After Blair pours out her heart to Chuck, he returns from Europe with her favorite goodies and tells her that he loves her too, finally.
Memorable Quotes Edit
Nelly: What would high school be without hierarchy?
Jenny: Bearable? A nice place to spend time?
Blair: Ladies, I thought we were matching our headbands under our caps
Gossip Girl: You wanted to meet Gossip Girl? Well, look around. I'm nothing without you. And while most high school friendships fade, it's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever. Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate. Until college. Congratulations, I'm coming with you.
Blair: [to Jenny] That's the thing. You need to be cool to be queen. Anne Boleyn thought only with her heart and she got her head chopped off. So her daughter Elizabeth made a vow never to marry a man. She married a country. Forget boys. Keep your eye on the prize, Jenny Humphrey. You can't make people love you, but you can make them fear you. For what it's worth, you're my Queen. I choose you.

An Open University qualification is more affordable than you might think.
In this section, learn how much your course will cost and how to finance your studies. Our Finance Finder will highlight possible options that are tailored to you.
Your Open University qualification will be made up of a series of modules. Every module has a fee and added together, they give you the total cost of the qualification. You'll pay for each module separately, rather than paying for the whole qualification in advance.
Our fee for a standard 30-credit module is £1,432, and for a standard 60-credit module it's £2,864*. Most of our students study 60 credits per year over six years for an honours degree.
Our costs are transparent so you know what's expected from the outset of your studies. Study materials, tuition and assessment and exams are all included in our fees. See additional costs for other expenses you may need to plan for.
You'll pay for your study when you register for each module, with a tuition fee loan, a credit or debit card or via bank transfer.
Everything about studying with us is flexible including payment options. More than 60% of students studying with us in England take out a student loan to pay for their studies. Alternatively you could pay for your studies in instalments, spreading the cost to 'pay as you go'.
There are other ways you could pay for your studies too: if you work, you might be able to secure funding from your employer. Our Finance Finder will tell you more.
We've made it quick and easy for you to discover your payment options. Answer a few quick questions to find out about your ways to pay.
Use our Finance Finder to learn about your payment options
When calculating costs, remember to bear in mind the following:
If you're receiving benefits or your income is less than £25,000 we have three ways to help:

I think anyone in the 25+ age group in the US will immediately think of the Calvin Klein fragrance and it's TV ads. I can still hear the model saying it, "Eternity, by Calvin Klein"
Aside from that I think it's a lot of Serenity, Trinity, Destiny...the virtue names that feel far from Puritanical. NMS but they do feel more current-day than Constance or Honor.
Eternity stands out. And it could end in teasing for a girl that- takes a long time getting ready, takes a long time to get to the point when telling a story, is always late, ect. Any way she might take an eternity.
Maybe you would like Ever?
May 19th, 2013 07:34 PM #5
I'm not a big virtue name word name lover, (like what if that person named Patience isn't patient), but besides that... I think that Eternity is too out there. I think that a child named Eternity would get teased (Eternity takes an eternity to get ready) and I couldn't picture it on an older person. I think of it as would you like your name to be Eternity? I surely wouldn't. I agree with Taz, Ever sounds more modern and trendy but still usable. The only word name I like for girls is Reverie (a GP of mine) so how about that?Just another teenberry and writer, a lover of names

could you please let me know how did you manage to install "cyclic driver" on OpenSolaris?

3. Re: RTJV on open solaris807557 Mar 25, 2010 6:23 AM (in response to 800341)We do not support the installation of Java RTS on OpenSolaris, so I suspect that Hevren does not have the cyclic driver installed. You can run JRTS (SUNWrtjv) with Java programs that don't create real-time threads without having the cyclic driver installed, but that's all.
Hevren, if I am mistaken please contact me via email: David dot Holmes at oracle dot com

4. Re: RTJV on open solaris807557 Mar 25, 2010 2:34 PM (in response to 800341)Yes. But you need to get special cyclic driver from Sun for opensolaris.
5. Re: RTJV on open solaris800341 Mar 25, 2010 3:02 PM (in response to 807557)David, now did i miss something for my OpenSolaris? Since Hevren tells that there is a special CyclicDriver for Opensolaris?
Thanks Evren and David.
6. Re: RTJV on open solaris807557 Mar 25, 2010 11:01 PM (in response to 800341)The driver that's being referred to is a private development version which unfortunately is not available for public distribution.

Thanks to a thread by Bryan I remember I saw a movie last night...
That movie was The Sky Cralwers, which is based on a series of novels by Hiroshi Mori.
This animated film has a deep and advanced story that may be confusing to most. Funny enough I thought it was like Jin-Roh: The Wolf Bridage, which is another animated film. But then funny enough early in the movie a character by the name Jinroh is introduced... Balls were indeed shat.
If you like Jin-Roh or films like Ghost in the Shell, I think you will like this film as well! I did not find it in search, so I decided I'd make a thread and recommend it. :3 The film is available in both SUB and DUB, from its original Japanese. I recommend watching it subbed as the audio is changed when in English too much...

So I would put the hip pouches on my ammo belt for my ESB suit?
So I would put the hip pouches on my ammo belt for my ESB suit?
I have snaps on my ammo belt behind the pouches and i attach the pouches to that. Same idea, just snaps instead of velcro.
Great. Thanks guys, you rock!
Such an amazing photo series, really love it ~~
so, it looks like it would be super hard to quickly make a bathroom stop...
Um, yeah. That's kind of amazing. Great find!
images are from the TDH Gallery, I only arranged them in the correct sequence.
Great Job!!!
Interesting to see some historic pictures. I've seen a few, but never the whole set.
Nice, I like the archive stuff!
Very cool!
I thought it was a little bit more slip on and go..... Thanks man now I really know what i'm getting into
Very cool set of pictures!
This never gets old
Man, I got a lot of changing to do. Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
These photo's definitely help with imagining how all the pieces go together for a novice looking to build their first kit. Thank you so much.
Okay I have been studying these in detail versus the screen shots and other images posted in the gallery (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/galle...hp?photo=11164 specifically) and the cape looks like it was modified from what it's original intent was. When / how is the best way to attach the cape just to the corner shoulder?
The original Supertrooper had no cape (the Star Wars towel was added after GL decided to convert it to Boba Fett):
The Pre-Pro #1 had one end of the cape attached to a clip mounted on the jetpack and the other end to a clip attached to the right side of the collar:
The Pre-Pro #2 seems to have the cape inserted somewhere between the inner part of the collar/back plate attachment:
The Pre-Pro #3 had the cape attached to the clip mounted to the jetpack (same jetpack as the Pre-Pro #1 minus the rocket):
The ESB hero had a different cape (new design) attached to the outer left collar stud at an approximated 190-200mm distance, while the end of the cape was squeezed/attached to the upper left jetpack hook:
It seems that the ROTJ (and the SE versions) is the only suit that had the cape attached that way (end of cape under the outer left collar stud):

english homework
posted by sophie on .
Hello! I have to write a dialogue with 3 characters, the subject is "hello doctor!"
I probably make a doctor with a patient and the patient's mother, my idea consists of simulating (a lot of )illnesses in order to not to go to school
(it's about the little girl)
I don't arrive to begin the dialogue could you help me please (few lines) ?
Have you ideas to make it funny?
[English is my second language]
You may get some ideas in here.
As far as making a dialog funny, you have to focus on a few things:
--Very clear characters. You have to make sure you know what the characters are like.
--Establish a conflict that usually comes from how the people might differently handle the situation.
--Be sure to make the problem build.
--Fix the problem in the end.
An idea might be:
--Characters: a punk rock loving teenager that wants his mom to just leave him alone.
A VERY over protective mother.
A doctor, acting as the person that will have to sort this all out.
The problem: the doctor needs to get the mother to sign a form for surgery. The teenager doesn't want the mom to know about it.
Imagine 3 doors in the office where the boy learns about this. One door leads to the hall. Nother leads to the bathroom. A third leads to an outside area. Have the boy in the room moving the doctor in and out (justify why). Have the boy trying to hide the mom from the doctor. Eventually, they will have to meet. This is where the problem is finally faced, the true comedy happens, and the resolution can come.
Repost if you have other ideas. This is just one. There are many others. Feel free to use the above ideas (they're nothing too original anyway). Just keep the dialog EXACTLY to the characters'. Uf someone will worry, it should be mom. If someone is angry, it should be the son.
Good luck.
Hello, sorry I just saw the last message then I would like help in order to correct the dialogue: spelling, vocabulary, grammar... Be intransigent even if it's my second language
tell me if something can seem illogical
Look at the dialogue:
D: doctor M: patient's mother P: patient
M: Good morning doctor!
D: Hello, what the reason of your visit?
M: It's about my adorable little girl ...she 's ....
P: I am very very sick. Look at my cheeks and my nose : they blushed, I feel feverish too and...I could suffer from the measles.
M: At first, I thought it was a stroke.
D: Don't sugarcoat things. Just give me the facts.
M: Yesterday, after the dinner,she was telling me that she has lots of homework and then to began to stifle!
P: My heart was throbbing and my legs were shaking.
M: Do you think that it was because of my cook.
D: No i don' t. Well, I will sound you.
D: Don't worry it's just my stethoscope. Now, breathe in and hold your breath. Please pull up your shirt, and breathe deply...Everything sounds good. Let's take a look at your throat. Please open wide and say « ah »
Do you take any tablets?
P: No, I don't.
D: Everything looks ship shape.
P: Wait, wait there is probably something wrong, just look at it again carefully please because my belly and my knuckles ache me.
D: Ok all right so, when I lean here, you ache?
P:ohhhhh aaahou ahhhhhh yes yes yes doctor it s very paining
D: And here?
P: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
D: ok fine
M: Is it serious doctor?
D: Ok you, little girl, stay there I' ll take your mother to the next room.
P: fine
D: Perhaps you would better sit down, Mrs Sue. What can I tell you?
M: Diagnosis and prognosis, Doc. That's all I need to hear.
D: Mrs Sue, please sit.
M: All right, Doc. I'm sitting.. Now, , tell me!
D: Well, Mrs Sue I examined her and I noticed that your child 's behaving is peculiar.
M: You still ain't hearing me. Where'd you get your medical degree? I always thought you had to have some fancy college diploma to become a doctor, but shoot, I didn't even finish high school and Ive got more smarts than you. Don't tell me about... Just open up your mouth and tell me the name of whatever disease she has got.
D: You see...
M: Doc, I'll tell you what I will do. Because I'm a generous woman, I will give you one more chance to tell me what's wrong with my little girl. If you can do that, then I won't have to get up out of this chair. But if you continue to speak like a quack, I reckon I will have to punch you right in the nose. I may be a young woman but I could deliver a mean right hook
D: Mrs Sue, clearly you are upset.
M: You haven't even told me what's wrong with me yet
D: As I 've been trying to explain your child is lying, she is not ill she just doesn't want to go to school
M: What no it 's a mistake she loves school why would she make a scene
D: Because tomorrow she has lots of homework...do you remember what she said ?
M: oh yes she told me that she hs a math test too but ....
D: but what yo didn' t believe me ok let me prove you
hello everything is fine since i left ???
P: not all i feel bad
D: ok i check you again when i lean there does it ache you
P: Yes of course
D: but last time you told me that it 's aching you there ....
P: Yes but now i ache all over ...
D: ok at your opinion , what ' s the link with these symptoms and your pain
P: Doctor i think the diesease has been propagating every where in my body and it' s taking many shapes of disease
which can explain these symptoms
D: ok I see so it s straight to the operation block
nurse !! prepare the syringe you know the big one and scissors please
P: oh nooonoo mment i think there is a misunderstanding i just told you that i ache all over
nothing else maybe it is because i did sport yesterday or i don' t know This can' t be as serious as you think
I think if you pescrive me some medicin and letter to school the matter will be done .
D: ohhh but look at your girl she seems to be perfectly all right she doesn' t need medicin you can take your gril after paying fees
it costs 140 £ thank you have a nice day !
M: Yes thank you doctooooor youuuuuuuuuu come herrre ..!!!!!!!!!!
P: noooooooo
Please and thank you for reading this far;)
nobody?! please help me
Are there language errors? please

- - Linked my turns!!! with one problem :) (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/37534-linked-my-turns-one-problem.html)
Linked my turns!!! with one problem :)
Alright so yesterday, after about four hours of frustration, the whole linking of turns just clicked!!
I mean I was still transversing a decent amount, but definitely was able to link them and didn't catch an edge. I still had one problem that would happen every once and a while and looking back on the run I might even know what the problem was, but wanted to get another persons opinion on how to fix it..
So I'm going heelside in a transverse and I flatten out my lead foot, the board starts moving down the fall line, flatten out my back foot and look to my next turn.. I start getting on my toe side and do the same process, but I end up basically just coming to a stop sometimes, rather than going in a toe side transverse. When I went toeside I essentially looked up the entire mountain.. Would this cause me to come to a stop, should I just be looking where I want to turn, not up the slope? Also when do I turn my shoulder? I didn't have this problem with every turn, but it happened on and off and was frustrating because I was doing really good!
Also sometimes when I was in my heel side transverse (keep in my mind I was really spacing out the turns with the transverse) I would end up going fakie and would have to get out of this, was I just not starting the next turn quick enough?
didn't mean to hijack this, but quick question to snowolf along this subject, a couple of times during my toe side turn, I would look where I want to go, then dip my shoulder and do the front foot relax manuever. My board will of course travel to the direction where I wanted to go, but I felt like my upper body is twisiting/fighting really hard so that my board doesn't swing all the way back uphill or come to a stop. Like I'm completely twisted around, keep staring down hill but my board still wants to go completely across the fall line. Is it because I'm digging my legs in too much with knee/toe pressure? Maybe I used too much pressure with my rear foot? This only happen when I'm doing those wide skidded turns. When I was practicing the shallow turns using the hump and dump motion, this never happens. (by the way, it was funny when I was up on the hill and keep chanting to myself hump and dump, what a great way to remember this!!)
Thanks so much could you please explain your middle paragraph from your original post a little bit more, sorry just wasn't too sure if I'm following you correctly, I now understand what I was doing when I ended up going fakie.
But I'm still a little unsure of why I'm coming to a stop on my toeside.. sorry, I really appreciate it!!
Let's say I'm on my heel edge transversing across the slope to my left (I didn't have problems with this transverse) and I'm wanting to begin my next turn. I relax my front foot and the nose of the board dips down the fall line, I then relax my back foot and then get on my toe edge with the front foot, looking where I want to go, not up the mountain. I put my shoulder over my front edge. Now do I need to lean more on that lead foot to my left, will that allow me to have a better transverse across the mountain, or am I missing the problem?
Thanks! :)

I'm sure someone out there uses it. Over on the 'fuge they keep talkin about "carbiners" and for the life of me I can't figure out what they're talkin about. You guys know?
I'd ask over there but they don't allow you to join with a hotmail address, so I can't.

Big Island, HI
Anywhere on this lush, easygoing island would suffice for the average overworked Mainlander, but hot spots to consider include Puna (the fastest-growing district in eastern Hawaii), with its black-sand beaches and macadamia nut farms; and timeless towns like Waimea and Hawi, where artists, surfers, and disenchanted daily grinders are filling up the cafes. But daydreamers, prepare for sticker shock the first time you buy a carton of OJ or fill your gas tank.

40 + 3 and surprisingly not feeling too antsy. This is my first baby and I really wasn't expecting anything in particular in terms of timing. My midwife has been reminding me that the 40 week time line includes all the outliers (including preemies, twins and other multiples) and that healthy, first time mothers go into labor an average of a week to 10 days "late". Despite it being the holiday season, I have been hibernating in my house. My family is very supportive and have been great about respecting my space and boundaries. My dad is here from the other side of the country and my mom, MIL, and sister bring me snacks and tell me not to worry.
I am definitely getting ready to meet this little girl, but I am also trying to just let go and trust that it's all going to happen when and how it does for a reason. From what I can tell, getting through natural labor is all about surrendering to the process, I am doing my best to practice that right now.
Mama~Blogger~Artist~Homemaker. Family = DH (married 6 years), baby Elinor, and our puppy Frances.
Thanks northcountrymamma! This was my 41 week present to myself :) I seriously need something to keep my sanity intact. I am feeling SO nauseous tonight. I forced myself to eat a biggish (for me) meal earlier...I have been seriously missing my protein (I should start my shakes back up) and so this meal had a lot. Made me feel a little bit better...until now LOL I seriously do not want a Christmas baby either, but I am hoping to go into labor tomorrow and just birth him Sunday. That sounds like a plan, right? LOL!
Melek, LOVE the belly and the henna!! Soooo beautiful!!
I am 40+5 and was pretty sure I was having a Christmas morning baby. I was up for several hours last night with contractions 3ish min apart. They weren't super strong and I didn't wake DH up, but they were definitely "real" verses BH. I laid down plastic and tried to hook up the hose to fill the pool (only to discover the attachment doesn't fit!) and then decided to lay down and listen to my Hypnobabies until I needed to get up and that ended up being 7am when the kids got up to open presents. I am glad to have avoided a Christmas morning birth, but I am getting ready to meet this baby! We stayed home for Christmas this year, we got 8 inches of snow yesterday, I while it was really nice to be home, I missed our family Christmas'. Maybe tonight?
Gucci&Granola, I love your sentiment! I really want this baby to pick it's own birthday too.
All I want for Christmas is my baby! I'm stuck in a hotel room, I've been gone from home for weeks, and we're not even doing Christmas this year. My son's not quite 2, so he doesn't know what he's missing. We have invitations to go visit some folks later today, but I don't really feel like I want to even see anyone, just to hear more well-meaning comments and questions about how I still don't have a baby.
I'm 41+1 today, twice as "overdue" as I was with my son, and feeling like nothing will ever happen. I have Braxton Hicks all the time, but not a single contraction that's remotely painful. Even nipple stimulation, which supposedly produces long hard contractions, does absolutely nothing for me.
I woke up this morning and saw the little "baby's first christmas" onesie that someone gave me and just started to cry. Due on the 17th, I was so sure I'd have a baby by Christmas!
Gucci and Granola - that's a great attitude. I wish I could get back to that point myself.
I got a mother's ring for Christmas from my DH. It has the stones for DD, DS, and a Dec stone for this one, now the pressure is on!!!
Yeah, I have a little "elf in training" onesie that I got....so sure baby would be here by Christmas. Oh well, I am still going to put him in it and take pictures by the tree LOL I plan to spend today in the bathtub, then the movies, then crying myself to sleep in bed. My desperation tastes like egg nog today LOL!
Thanks Sarah! I love your henna too!
Hugs to all of you still waiting! The holiday must make it so hard. Hopefully it will be encouraging to hear that waiting worked very well for me. She was born 5 hours after the contractions woke me up without the midwife even here yet. She self latched in the first half hour while we hung out and waited on the midwife. She's so strong and we had a great night. It might be my bias, but for me it was worth waiting for her to pick her day. (+12)
I love all the henna bellies!
CSS - so glad for you! And how wonderful that she chose her birthday!
We had a little christmas stocking for the baby this am and santa left a letter for dd asking her to please give the baby the gifts when baby arrives. We had them because we thgouht baby would be here by now...figured we may as well put them out! I'm grateful that we didn't have a christmas baby though, it was a wonderful, beautiful day for the three of us...the first that we have had just us, without extended family.
mckittre - that must be so hard to be away from home for so long. I had a friend in AK who had to do this when her last baby was born, it was hard for her...but that wasn't even during the holidays. Hope your wee one makes it's way to you soon!
Great, we're expecting a blizzard tomorrow in NYC. I'm praying the kid waits a few more days to come out...
Yay CSS!
And I love all the henna too. At this point, I just feel like my big belly is an annoying protruberance that's making my back sore and not bringing me any sort of baby to go with it. Decoration might help.
I was too Grinch-like to do Christmas at all today, though we did go to some friends for dinner. We don't really have our own traditions yet, since my son isn't quite 2, and doesn't yet know what's going on. But after seeing that seemingly everyone we know has given him something (some nice, some junk) and knowing that there's a whole bunch more waiting for him at home when we eventually get back, I'm wondering if I want to nip it in the bud and skip Christmas entirely from now on. We can't fit much more in our yurt, and I hate people going out and buying new resource-using stuff I don't need. Or maybe I'm just feeling anti-holiday because I'm stuck in a hotel? Both, probably.
I really really want to hold out and let this baby pick its birthday, but it'll get harder to do as I get towards 42 weeks. Please come soon!
Mckittre, I am kind of starting to feel the way about gifts. We have so many junky, cheapo plastic toys that just break and take up a whole lot of space in the house (I know you have a lot less space, but still...it's the principle). This year, I only bought things like books and art supplies for Christmas and I feel really good about that. These are things that will expand DS' creativity and vocabulary (he is slightly speech delayed but has been making amazing progress lately!) instead of just making a whole bunch of annoying noise while blinking obnoxious lights. But then again, maybe I am a little grinchy too....my FB profile pic is the grinch LOL
Also, why am I still pregnant? FML
i am still here 3 days over
boxing day sale in my tummy
everything must go LOLOL
Sam 05 Isaac 06 Melody 08Baby #4 2010
hey mamas,
we nipped Christmas in the bud a while back by making sure that we were only getting things for dd that were smallish (we live in a small house) and practical for her day to day use. We don't have any plastic in our house (well completely for toys or kitchen stuff) and everyone is well aware. This year was really nice, dd got a few great family games (we don't have a tv and play a game almost every night before bed), a bunch of new books and some *real* art supplies (watercolour set, art paper and brushes). She also got a few things for her dollhouse, which she adores and has been playing with since she woke up a few hours ago! Our families and friends have long since realized that these are the kinds of things that fit with our lifestyle. It's nice for dd to still enjoy a holiday season that all her friends enjoy but feel so satisfied with small scale stuff. Despite all this dp blew the small scale with a GT snowracer...alas, it looks like she's going to really love it!
we didn't do much until dd was 3, it worked out well...gradually making it into what works for us. I lived in a tiny little cabin with no amenities, smaller than most yurts, back in those days...I totally get where you are coming from mckittre.
as far as gifts for others...making most of our gifts was not only nice for dd and I to put our hearts into gifts for them, but for them...I loved seeing the joy on their faces when they stopped by to exchange gifts.
but I digress...still waiting here too, not that I'm all that overdue, but still anxious and excited to meet this little bean. Strong surges are continuing each night...but nadda. Goodness...this is a lot of practice, I feel like I'm going to be 5 cm by the time I actually go into labour! lol
northcountry, lawmama: If it was just us buying gifts, I don't think Christmas would be a problem at all. We didn't buy anything at all for him. The problem is everyone else! Many well meaning relatives, and my son is the first (and only until this darn baby shows up) grandchild on both sides of the family. We try to tell people the kind of things we like, and to avoid buying new stuff, but it only works with some people, and only so much. It seems almost more petty to badger people about what they're allowed to get us than to just say they should get us nothing at all.
41+3 today.
Does anyone have any good links for statistics on the risks of induction vs. waiting as you get towards (or past) 42 weeks? I was holding out hope that I wouldn't make it to my appointment on Tuesday, but it looks like I probably will, and I'll have to talk to the midwives about whether to induce me this week or not. They don't have any firm "rules" (other than the NSTs and ultrasounds), but will probably push for it, so I'd like to be informed going in.
northcountry: I would kill for any contraction that felt like it was doing anything at all! I get braxton hicks absolutely constantly, but nothing I do gives me even a single one that hurts. (though I have plenty of general pregnancy discomfort by now).
40+6 today, I'm also now officially the most pregnant I've ever been. Maybe the baby wants to share a birthday with me! My birthday is the 28th and I've been telling myself that I won't get impatient until then, so hopefully the baby will be here by then! I'm getting tired of talking to people, I've been ignoring my phone for the most part and no one is really giving me a hard time, I just want to be anti social I guess. My poor kids keep asking about the baby and what are we doing tomorrow and I have to keep say, we'll see, it depends, etc. DH was really planning on not going back to work until the 1st of the year and is getting sad at the prospect of having to go back tomorrow.
I don't really know how I feel to be honest. My mantra lately has been, "I welcome this baby, I welcome this birth" because for some reason I still have some anxiety about it. I don't think it's about having a baby or a 3rd kid or anything like that, it's like I just can't picture it. I can't picture this birth, I can't picture this baby. I've had anxiety this pregnancy about this baby having a birth defect or something being wrong in some way. I don't know if that's my hang up or this baby just needs to cook a little longer. Anyway, I'm working on it and hoping the baby joins us soon. I really want to know who this is!!! I don't have any names picked out at all and need to meet this baby to know who they are supposed to be, maybe that's part of my hold up? I'm feeling disconnected from this baby for some reason...... Can anyone empathize with this? I don't remember this so much with my others. We don't find out sex prenatally and I've never been one that feels like I know the baby or and especially bonded to the baby before it's born, but it feels bigger this time? Argg....I just don't know.
Hi there mamas! Sorry, I have been lurking, I am not overdue yet so have not felt like I should write but have been getting a lot of comfort from this group. I thought I would have an early date as I started losing plug just before 37 weeks and have had lots of BH and cramps every evening since then, but nothing... I am huge and heavy (I was previously a little person with fast metabolism and have since gained normal metabolism and gained 40% of my previous weight, the upper limit on what is recommended for sure!) So anyway, I have been reading your posts and commiserating, shuddering at the thought of going a week or two over.... You all have my deepest sympathy!
Mckittre - I feel for you stuck in a hotel room! Did you say that was with your mother? Terrifying. If we stayed in Alaska that is what I would be doing now, we lived in a very remote area too. But for some reason I never could get pregnant there, but bang, as soon as we got to New Zealand it happened. I am relieved now, we have a much easier set up here.
Gifts are tricky, I like what you are all trying to do. I was just watching my sister and partner a bunch of self-bought pressies for their new little one, lots of brightly colored plastics with lights and annoying noises. It made me feel a little depressed. The whole plastic consumer thing just depresses the hell out of me, ugh, is this the world we live in?... DH and I drove home from the family Xmas planning another escape, trying to figure out a way to live like gypsies, wandering through a wilder and less "affluent" society. Life definitely seems more real, and I know I have felt more alive when living in a more "back to basics" way.
Happy Birthday for the 28th Sarah! I hope you are holding your little one by then!
Hey, I don't have any links, but I know there is a book out there called Obstetrical Risks v. Research Realities that some people recommend highly. I am not sure you could get your hands on it in time, but it has a TON of research. Maybe you could ask in the general "I'm pregnant" forum and get some good input? One of my friends who decided to go to 43 weeks a few months ago really found it helpful. I believe there is an increased risk of the placenta not functioning as well (although I think this is as you get closer to 43 as opposed to just over 42) and possibly starting to calcify, but I think there are also benefits to a lot of people (I am just not sure what they are LOL, but I do not want to throw out a lot of horror stories and make it seem like there is nothing positive about going past 42).
AFM, I am not comfortable going past 42, so we start "at home induction" Wednesday (to give it time to work). I am not sure exactly what it entails, but I think we start with more mild stuff and then work our way up....I am thinking maybe cohosh? They already told me castor oil will be the last resort. Bebegim, who I mentioned got her HBAC at 2 weeks past her DD, used castor oil and it sent her into labor, so I am hopeful for that. I am really getting desperate...I even had sex last night, and let me tell you. TMI, but we haven't had sex in longer than I care to admit. My sex drive is in the toilet and, for me, sex was like a last resort LOL I seriously almost went and bought castor oil before I tried sex but then I rethought that. Ha!!! Of course, nothing happened....and this baby, who by now is way too big to be pulling this, LOVES to lay entirely on my left side. It is so uncomfortable, especially when I am trying to roll over or get up from laying down!! Man, I am seriously losing hope over here. It just feels like I am staring down the barrel of having to go to the hospital and who knows what will happen then...chemical interventions? c/s? ugh. Last night, I had a really good, long cry and it helped a little, but not nearly as much as having this baby would.
Also, January is having some (full term) babies now. I am now banning myself from lurking on that board

mckittre - found a few links for you:
scroll to the bottom for both of these articles which may be of help
have you tried any homeopathic remedies at this point? I don't know which ones but I have heard that some can bring it on when baby is ready.
hope baby comes soon and you get to go home.
So, there's definitely something going on with me *down there*. TMI to follow: around midnight, I noticed that my vagina was super wet. And the fluid had a watery like consistency. I admit, I had a little mini freakout, but I was able to wipe it and it wasn't leaking down my leg or making any pee like noises when i sat on the toilet (which I assume amniotic fluid would? I have no idea). Anyway, this has kept up all night. I mean, my vagina is soaked. And I have actually had a few painful contractions tonight. I didn't want to wake my midwives because I have been googling amniotic fluid leaks and all of them talk about being unable to stop it with Kegels, which I assume means it feels like a flow....so far, I don't think I would describe it like a flow, more like a steady coming. I really don't know. I am going to put on some underwear (I should mention I have been sleeping in the buff, so I am not sure if that affects anything as far as what I should expect to see or feel) and just rest some more. I went ahead and sent my MWs a facebook message about it. They probably have those little ph strips and can test it to see if it is amniotic fluid. I am trying not to get my hopes too up. Either way, it is something new and different, which means my body is doing something, for which I am grateful.
ETA: My MW is coming over to check me in a couple hours. Going to try to rest up until then. She said it sounds promising, but I am trying not to get excited. LVs appreciated!!!
Ok, I want to join this thread now. I'm usually not online often, so don't post much on the board, but I am so bored and need to vent! I am 5 days past my due date, and baby is not engaged. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard. I'm also feeling like I'm under time constraints because my family is taking ds to their place today, and can only keep him for a week. I want to have this baby by then!!! Anyways, I'm trying to walk and clean a lot. I have been reading about every possible way to get labor going. The wierd thing is nipple stimulation was working ver effectively to get contractions started, but now it doesn't seems to make anything happen anymore. Any ideas on why?
Lawmama, I hope this is it!! It sounds so exciting. Update and let us know what the MW says!!!
Dp, me ds#1 , ds #2 and ds#3
lawmama - yay how exciting! Good luck! I think you had the same due date as me, so I hope I'm next!
I have to go in for an NST and BPP today. Which I was hoping not to make it to, but oh well. If they accidentally ruin the surprise about my baby's gender at the ultrasound, like last time I was pregnant, I'm going to hit someone.
I had exactly 1 painful contraction last night. Which now I'm starting to doubt I even felt, since I haven't had any more of them. Really I feel like the 42 week "deadline" is much more stressful than just waiting for the baby to come. This morning I woke up to think "oh no, only 4 days left", as if I'm some sort of ticking time bomb. I hate feeling like that. I think, despite losing the tax deduction and having to be a bit forceful with the midwives, I'm going to skip scheduling any induction this week if the tests look good.
I'm trying to be encouraged rather than discouraged that everyone else with a due date earlier than me has dropped out of this thread already. And that no one seems to have needed induction just for being late, and all babies are OK.
Natalya - I don't know why nipple stimulation would stop working. I know it doesn't work for me either, but it didn't work in the first place (I suspect my nursing toddler accustomed my uterus to that a long time ago).
Some helpful links I discovered...hopefully they may bring help to some of my fellow pastdue mammas!
I won't look at using them until at least the end of this week. But am leaning towards some homeopathic remedies to try to assist if I'm still pregnant by Thursday (41wks). I am so darn restless.
lawmama...hope things continue for you, sounds really promising!!!!
It is my water!!! I should be holding my baby in the next 48 hours! LML!!!!! He is not in an optimal position, so I am going to work on that. Cx have sort of petered out. Hoping they pick up once I get him locked and loaded! Thank you for all the support...I'll be back soon with pics and updates :)
blah - feeling pretty hopeless today.... i REALLY want a baby before new years and I feel like i'm running out of time! Plus, my family is here to spend christmas with us and help out with the other kids and of course meet this new little one that hasn't even arrived....i think i'm going to work on not feeling so much "pressure" from everyone (i'm bringing it on myself) hubby and i are going to work on some "induction techniques" tonight while the family gets out of the house and stays in a nearby cabin with our kiddo's..... hopefully having my own space with just hubby and I will get things going! I REALLY HOPE SO AT LEAST! wishing all of you that are left a short wait and easy labor vibes! this is my third time being overdue so i know that the baby will eventually come - but it still gets sooo mentally hard at the end!!!!!
carolina: That's just how I felt yesterday! Today I feel much more at peace with it all. If this baby wants to come next year, it can come next year (despite losing the tax deduction). Baby and I won't suddenly explode at 42 weeks, and once I have a baby, the memory of waiting for him/her will fade quickly.
Melek, I hope you have a baby in your arms and your HBAC was amazing!!!!
I am not in a good place today. I have had a couple nights of prodromal labor, we even filled the pool 2 nights ago before it stopped, soooo frustrating!! I made DH take the week off because I just can't function on my own with the other kids right now. I'm feeling guilty that DH's time off is being spent without having his baby. Today is my birthday. I wanted to be done having kids at 30, I'm 31 today, it's silly, it's completely silly, but I was not happy to wake up pregnant this morning. I would love to share a birthday with this baby. However, I can't picture a day labor, I'm working on that! Also, I had bloody show the other night when we filled the pool, that's pretty serious, and then nothing, sooo frustrating. Last night I was was woken by really painful back contractions every 30 or so and they are randomly continuing today as well. I just went to the bathroom and I have a little bit of show again. I'm trying to be happy and positive and I'm blessed with supportive friends and family that aren't pressuring me, but man. This sucks. I'm 41w 1d. Much more pregnant than I've ever been. It's odd that that's happening to several of us this time!
I hope there have been more babies born and less mamas on this thread, but I have to admit that it is very comforting to me to have you all to commiserate with!
big hugs to you Sarah.... I'm feeling much more at peace today - (pregnancy is such a roller coaster of emotions) starting to have some contractions that actually FEEL like something might happen soon.... we shall see :) I don't want to get my hopes up too much only to be let down again (negative thoughts I know) so instead, right this second, I am going to manifest that TODAY is the DAY! Your birthday and our babies birthdays!!!! :) Easy Labor Vibes your way and lots of labor dust stirring around... this thread needs it!!! :)
The end is near - for all of us :) We will all meet our little one's SOON!!!!
Thanks Lee Ann! It *is* a good day to have a baby! :) I think I might go hang with some friends this morning and try to get a change in my attitude too. Best wishes that we all birth soon!
Happy Birthday Sarah! Even if it doesn't feel like a happy one right now. I'm sorry to see you still here, false alarms like that must be so frustrating! (I get my hopes up every evening too, but not for any good reason).
41+4 today. My dad's birthday is tomorrow, maybe baby wants to share with grandpa. Really, I guess I'll just see what happens. My NST and ultrasound were perfect yesterday, and I'm feeling well prepared to go in and argue against scheduling an induction at my appointment today. It's almost like I've given up on trying to ask baby to come when I want, and am focusing on sticking up for baby's right to come when he/she wants.
Sarah, I hope you have had a wonderful birthday and have found peace in the waiting game that we can all empathize with!
I am practicing some more meditation these days than I typically do and finding peace in my own process of waiting. I am finding gratitude that after a baby (dd) who was made to come when she wasn't ready with natural induction due to a low platelet count, that this time the baby has the freedom to choose it's birth day. Letting go...it's what it is all about. Letting go of attachments, of preconceived notions and of fear. I am not afraid, I am prepared but not anxious and I am grateful for the joy I experience each time I feel a little heel sticking out or a kick or even a stronger surge...my body is preparing for a peaceful, intuitive birth surrounded by love and support.
Perhaps these mantras may help some of you as well...
This thread is helpful to me in so many ways...knowing that I am not alone in waiting to meet my little love, it's ever so helpful. Many thanks to you all.

Churchill: Seahawks Will Survive Three-MatchIt's a tough call in the NFC Championship Game between the Seahawks and 49ers, but there's one factor that tips the scales.
1090 The Fan Picks Championship PropsSteve Sandmeyer and Jason A. Churchill pick the props for the NFC Championship Game.
Three Things: 49ers at SeahawksYes, the two teams are similar. No, they aren't exactly the same, and neither is the checklist of what each team needs to do to come out the victor and book their trip to East Rutherford for the Super Bowl.

Customer intelligence improves B2B sales efficiency
Customer intelligence solutions can prove highly successful in optimizing marketing activities. Overtoom International, market leader in office and warehouse supplies, used SAS solutions to fine-tune their marketing campaigns. SAS partner Python Predictions encouraged Overtoom to review their selection of targets for every marketing action. The result was proof that predictive analytics lead to an increased turnover and/or a smaller marketing budget.
Thanks to the SAS-based predictive tool we have increased revenues by 10% with the same marketing budget.
The SAS-based method enables a very precise assessment of customer behavior. Our list of indicators enables us to quite accurately predict how each customer will react.

Overtoom project proves worth of SAS-based predictive model
The efficiency of B2B marketing campaigns is difficult to measure and optimize, in part because of the complexity of the typical B2B sales context. "B2B customers have a complicated purchase behavior," observes Olivier Serruys, Director Benelux of Overtoom International. "Purchasing decisions are taken by various individuals or even groups of people and we don't always know the real decision makers. Usually the purchase process is rather long and runs through a variety of channels, ranging from account managers to e-commerce sites. That's why we need to carefully target our marketing campaigns."
Go further by adding more intelligence
Over the years, Overtoom International has made significant efforts to improve their marketing campaigns. "Ten years ago we managed to reduce our mailing expenses substantially without any turnover loss," says Serruys. "We did it by filtering our CRM database using an RFM segmentation technique." RFM stands for Recency (did the customer purchase recently), Frequency (how frequently do they purchase), and Monetary Value (what is the monetary value of their purchases). This technique segmented the customer database into nine customer categories. The assumption is that marketing campaigns may work well for some of the categories — depending on the type of campaign — but certainly not for all of them.
Serruys notes that Overtoom used this technique to reduce monthly mailings from 200,000 to 95,000. "But we felt that this segmentation was not yet 'smart' enough. We wanted to go further by adding more intelligence."
Qualifying each customer individually
That additional intelligence was found in the SAS CI solutions used by Python Predictions. They proposed a shift away from segmentation towards prediction. Dr Wouter Buckinx of Python Predictions explains the difference: "Segmentation implies putting customers in a limited set of predefined categories. As a result you treat every customer in a given category in the same way. You're still likely to send promotional offers that they are not interested in, or worse, not send promotional offers they would be interested in. Prediction, on the other hand, qualifies each customer individually, based on a much broader set of variables." SAS CI solutions enabled Python Predictions to use about 3 million data records from the Overtoom CRM database and additional sources to analyze each customer's purchase behavior. They used 850 variables to qualify customers, including information about the company and the contact history, purchasing details, sales channels used, complaint history, and seasonality information. Dr Buckinx confirms that this SAS-based method enables a much more precise assessment of customer behavior.
Predicted customer reactions confirmed
Based on this in-depth analysis of past customer behavior, Python Predictions constructed a compact but powerful list of indicators of a customer's response potential. "It turned out that many important indicators of customer quality were not even present in the previous segmentation scheme," says Dr Buckinx. "With our current list of indicators we are able to quite accurately predict how each customer will react to a given marketing campaign." Furthermore Python Predictions calculates the optimal size of the target group for each marketing campaign in order to maximize turnover and minimize marketing expenses.
The predictions have proved to be virtually spot-on rather than illusory or mere wishful thinking. The effect was measured by running the two models side by side in real life. The customer base was cut in two and targets were selected for each marketing campaign based on either the segmentation model or on the prediction model. The results of this test coincided extremely closely with the predictions. "We were confident they would," says Dr Buckinx. "That's why we agreed that our remuneration for the project was defined variable, dependant on a proven revenue increase."
Balance turnover and marketing budget
The SAS-based predictive model boosted sales by 10% with an equal marketing budget. Further analyses enabled a further increase in turnover and at the same time economized on marketing expenses. "We can use the resulting efficiencies in different ways," says Serruys. "We can maintain our marketing budget for certain campaigns and increase revenues, or we can save on marketing expenses while maintaining our revenue. In either case, we gain on profitability."
Python Predictions further optimized the system with automated feedback procedures following each marketing campaign. The system monitors data and model quality before and after the action. As a result, Overtoom now has an automated customer scoring system to keep customer quality indicators always up-to-date.

I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. (John 16:12)
Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. (Luke 24:13-16)
And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. (Luke 30:31)
Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. (Luke 30:25)
While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you." But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. (Luke 30:36-37)
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have." And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them. (Luke 30:39-43)
So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." (John 20:25)
Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:27-28)
Then the Priest of God said to the parishoner, "Body of Christ." The parishoner answered and said to him, "Amen!"
